Song Qi had married into the Ji house. With the backing of her husband’s family, she did not have to worry about consequences. After all, the Ji family was far more powerful than the Song family.
Also, Song Zhi was not the only son in the family. He had a few cousins to contend with when it came to family business matters, so it was normal for conflict to arise. Only the most powerful man among them held the deciding power in the family.
This was the reason why Song Zhi was particularly nice to Song Qi and doted on her daughter, Ji Ya.
“Oh yes. How is Ya doing? Is she very busy?” asked Song Zhi as he changed the subject.
Song Qi could not help feeling proud the moment he mentioned her daughter. “Sigh. She is too busy for her own good. These days, she is either helping her teachers or studying. She has been so busy that she hasn’t even come home recently.”
Song Zhi nodded. It’s a good thing to be occupied. A bright future is waiting for her.”
Song Qi smiled and acknowledged her older brother. She recalled an important matter and retrieved Old Master Song’s medical report from her purse. She said, “Mr. Fu certainly knew what he was doing. After Dad took his medication, his condition stabilized. Now, he has no problem surviving for a couple more months until we find a suitable bone marrow.”
Song Zhi looked at the medical report before sighing in relief. “We really have to thank Ya for this. If not for her, Mr. Fu would have never agreed to treat Old Master Song.”
More importantly, Mr. Fu did not mind being friends with Song Zhi.
“We still have to focus on finding suitable bone marrow,” said Song Qi softly.
“I know.” Song Zhi narrowed his eyes before he said moments later, “When I am free, I will personally invite Ning over.”
Song Qi glanced at him without continuing with the subject.
She knew exactly what he meant by inviting Song Ning over.

Meanwhile, on the other end.
Chen Ming told Huo Changfeng about what happened last night.
Huo Changfeng had been busy going everywhere handling matters and had only returned to the capital recently. He rubbed the wooden beats on his wrist unhurriedly as he listened to what Chen Ming had to say. Huo Changfeng’s face was clearly far sterner than usual.
Chen Ming looked at the chief steward cautiously before he cleared his throat and said, “Fortunately, Miss Huo is fine. When I sent her to school today, she seemed completely normal, so I reckon she was not traumatized.”
Huo Changfeng glanced at him coldly. “How would you know if she was not traumatized?”
People pretended they were fine all the time.
His words left Chen Ming choking. After some time, Chen Ming finally muttered. “I think Miss Huo is mentally strong.”
“Do you think you can read her mind?” Huo Changfeng picked up a box of tissue on the table and hurled it at Cheng Ming.
Chen Ming did not dare to dodge the tissue box, so it landed on his shoulder without causing any damage. Inside his heart, Chen Ming was certain Huo Changfeng was simply acting up since he could see Huo Yao all the time.
Huo Changfeng was simply abusing his power to get back at him.
“Shall I catch Song Zhi and bring him over so that we can teach him a lesson?” asked Chen Ming.
He had already been dying to do it last night, but decided against it since it was Song Ning’s biological family.
Huo Changfeng glanced at Chen Ming angrily. “What do you mean by catch? We are living in a civilized society, so be careful about what you say.”
Chen Ming instantly caught Huo Changfeng’s drift. He nodded with a serious look on his face. “Yes, yes, yes. You are absolutely right. I am so uncivilized. Allow me to correct myself. Let’s invite him over and teach him something about the philosophy of life. Whatever it is, he is Master Jinyan’s little brother-in-law, so it is important for him to have more depth.”
Huo Changfeng’s lips twitched.
