Chapter 1129: Chapter 1130: Arrogant Person

That night, Song Xiaodong told the family that Wu Xiaoya was leaving, and everyone said they’d give her a farewell party the next day.

The next morning, everyone was quite busy, and it wasn’t until noon that they realized Wu Xiaoya had already left. Not only did she leave, but Shui Qinghe also slipped away quietly.

At home, Miao Qingqing said with some confusion, “Huh, how did the two of them just slip away like that? Qingyue, didn’t Qinghe say a word to you before leaving?”

Shui Qingyue shook her head and said, “No, she didn’t say anything to me. I don’t know what she’s up to, just left like that.”

Then everyone turned their gaze towards Song Xiaodong.

Miao Qingqing asked, “You didn’t do anything to them, did you?”

Song Xiaodong cleared his throat and said, “No, they probably didn’t want to bother us.”

Shui Qingyue said, “I’ll call Qinghe.”

As soon as the call connected, Shui Qingyue said a bit discontentedly, “Hey, Qinghe, why did you just leave without saying goodbye?”

Shui Qinghe immediately giggled and said, “Hehe, I’m all better and free now. I want to go out and have fun. You all are so busy, so I didn’t say anything. Besides, if I said goodbye and accidentally shed tears, how embarrassing would that be.”

“That’s so rude. You’ve been living here for so long. Your brother-in-law treated your illness, and you’ve been eating, drinking, and having fun, and you just left like that.”

Shui Qinghe giggled and said, “We’re family, no need to be so polite. He’s my brother-in-law, and I’ll come back to have fun in the future. I’ll also need my brother-in-law to send me red envelopes then.”

“Oh, I really don’t know what to say to you. Now that you’ve left, just head home quickly and don’t run around, so you don’t worry your uncle.”

“I know, I know. Why have you become so naggy now, like an old lady? Young woman and young girl really are different, your heart is so concerned.”

After hanging up, Shui Qingyue shook her head continuously and frowned, “This Qinghe, really has no manners, just leaving like that.”

Miao Qingqing laughed and said, “If she wants to leave, let her leave. It’s not like she’s someone else; she can come back and play at any time.”

Song Xiaoru also laughed and said, “Yeah, kids just like to play. She had to stay here for treatment for quite a while, she must have been stifled.”

“Stifled?” Shui Qingyue shook her head and said, “You don’t know how well she played here. Even at the Shui Family, she doesn’t have this kind of freedom. She can buy whatever she wants, play whatever she wants, and she’s surrounded by people when she goes out. She doesn’t have that kind of position at home.”

Miao Qingqing glanced at Song Xiaodong and said, “Looks like she’ll run back when she’s tired from playing outside.”

Song Xiaodong clearly felt that Miao Qingqing was implying something, but since it wasn’t spelled out, he didn’t admit to anything either, and laughingly said, “Alright, let them be. If they want to come back, we’ll always welcome them.”

By evening, everyone gradually returned home, with Miao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yingying being the last to return.

“You two have been quite busy lately, what have you been busy with?” Song Xiaodong asked with concern.

Miao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yingying came over and sat beside Song Xiaodong, and Miao Xuanxuan said, “We’re looking into investing in a film.”

“Then why do you look not so happy?” Song Xiaodong asked.

Xiao Yingying pouted and said, “Don’t even mention it, this business is really tough to negotiate. Each of those partners is craftier than the next, and there’s one guy who’s particularly arrogant, I really don’t want to deal with them.”

“Arrogant?” Song Xiaodong frowned and said, “In Minghe, someone is arrogant to us?”

Miao Xuanxuan chimed in, “This guy isn’t from Minghe, nor from Ningjian, but from Jiangcheng. In the film industry, our resources in Minghe are relatively lacking. The resources are more abundant over in Jiangcheng, so we’re thinking of collaborating with them.”

Song Xiaodong said, “Oh, I see. In that case, let’s take our time negotiating. But we’re doing this for fun, so if anyone is arrogant to you, don’t bother with them.”

Miao Xuanxuan blinked and said, “Honey, are you free tomorrow? If you are, we’ve scheduled a dinner tomorrow night. Could you come with us?”

Song Xiaodong immediately replied cheerfully, “No problem, I’ll go with you tomorrow. I want to see what kind of person is being arrogant to my wife.”

Xiao Yingying waved her fist and said, “Yeah, with my husband coming along, if anyone dares to be arrogant, we’ll beat them to find their teeth on the floor.”

Miao Xuanxuan had become a bit more composed from training recently, no longer the way she used to be, where she didn’t know her limits.

She took out a stack of documents and said, “Honey, take a look at this. It’s the information of the partner.”

Song Xiaodong said, “Give me a brief introduction first.”

Miao Xuanxuan nodded and said, “This company is named China Jincheng Film and Television Entertainment Company. It’s among the top large film companies in our country. Many of the current popular stars are signed under them.”

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, “Seems like a pretty strong company.”

Miao Xuanxuan continued, “Yes, the company is indeed powerful, and it has a very deep background. It seems to be backed by a big family from Beijing, apparently the Lian Family.”

Song Xiaodong squinted and said, “With a Beijing family background, no wonder they’re arrogant.”

Miao Xuanxuan said, “The person responsible for this collaboration is named Lian Qiang, 31 years old, and recently joined Xincheng Film and Television Company. He seems to want to make a career here, and because he’s new to the industry, his way of doing things is quite unpredictable.”

Song Xiaodong said, “Oh, then he must be one of the Lian Family’s direct members.”

Xiao Yingying chimed in, “Anyway, this guy is annoying, especially the way he looks at us, as if he can see through our clothes. I really don’t like it.”

Miao Xuanxuan nodded and said, “Yes, exactly. I feel like this guy clearly has ulterior motives, which is why I want my husband to come with us to intimidate him.”

Song Xiaodong hugged the two and laughed, “That’s right. No matter who it is, in business, we can compromise, but when it comes to my wife, I absolutely won’t.”

Miao Xuanxuan playfully hit Song Xiaodong and said, “But I hope if we can successfully negotiate, we should. It would be very beneficial for our film company. If he’s not too excessive, honey, please don’t be too impulsive.”

Song Xiaodong nodded but felt that this matter likely wouldn’t be easy to resolve. Arrogant young people from big families often don’t treat others as equals.
