Chapter 1193: Chapter 1193: I Heard Someone Likes Me
Lu Jianan sat numbly where he was, her face pale and her whole body trembling.
Xu Junfeng’s heart softened as he watched. It seemed she truly did harbor feelings for Song Jinyan, which was just too tragic, to have fallen for someone like him.
“Also, my visit today is to tell you to stay away from the production factory for the time being. You’re getting a long vacation.”
When it came to granting a long vacation, this was another negative impact of the rumors—once the word spread and implicated Song Jinyan, those at the production factory became anxious, worrying about provoking Song Jinyan.
So, they had no choice but to keep Lu Jianan away.
This was also because the Lv Family had quite some clout; had it been someone without connections, they would’ve been fired long ago.
“I know.”
In the end, Lu Jianan didn’t even realize when Xu Junfeng had left.

“You say someone has feelings for me? It has spread all over town?”
Song Jinyan stood under a pine tree in the garden, the cigarette between his fingers flickering in the wind. Snow from the burdened branches of the pine fell in flurries, dusting Song Jinyan’s broad shoulders and thick eyelashes.
He didn’t mind, drawing on the cigarette butt and exhaling a ring of smoke. With a smile, he asked, “Is liking me such a terrifying matter? To be gossiped about as if hiding a treasure map?”
Songshan’s mouth twitched with irony; it wasn’t terrifying, just very unusual.
“Indeed unusual that someone would have feelings for me.” Song Jinyan appeared amused by some funny thought, his thin lips curving as he took a drag of his cigarette, an action that exuded carefree rebellion, striking a curious contrast to his pristine uniform and austere demeanor, and lending him a deadly allure.
“Didn’t expect I, Song Jinyan, also had appeal with women, truly unusual. But isn’t that girl Xiaoya a bit too young for me? I really don’t want to be the old cow eating tender grass.”
Songshan was speechless, hearing his boss as if contemplating an affair with the young girl.
Songshan really wanted to ask, “Isn’t Xu Xiyi your true love?”
Unfortunately, he didn’t have the courage and instead offered an insincere comment, “Not that young, only six years younger, just perfect.”
Song Jinyan laughed and cursed in response.
“By the way, who spread these rumors?” Song Jinyan didn’t believe they sprang up without help, and someone dared to gossip about him, “Don’t tell me it was my dear cousin.”
He emphasized “dear cousin” with a hint of sarcasm, his gaze narrowing dangerously.
Song Jinyan was rapidly losing patience with his second uncle’s family. Whether it was his second uncle’s despicable behavior or Song Zishan exploiting the Song family’s reputation to bully others and act recklessly, it all frustrated him significantly.
The prestige of the Song family was hard-won in bloodshed, not to be squandered by that father-daughter pair.
“Seems you guessed right, indeed, one’s own family knows them best.”
“That girl Xiaoya who has feelings for me, she’s friends with my cousin, right?”
At his words, Songshan struggled to hold back laughter, finding his boss unexpectedly amusing. The young lady had cherished feelings for him for so many years, and during his visits to the Song family, he could detect the adoration in Lu Jianan’s eyes.
Yet, not only had the boss failed to notice, but he didn’t even know her name or what she looked like.
Now that the rumors had spread and he knew the young lady was smitten with him, he suddenly remembered her.
Ha! Men.
Songshan didn’t know how to ridicule his boss anymore. No wonder he had remained single for thirty years without a wife—no one dared to harbor affection for him.
“They used to be good friends, but after this incident, they won’t be anymore.”
