Chapter 74: A Blunt Knife

Shao Tianze knits his eyebrows and doesn’t speak for a long time. He certainly knows that it is another tricky problem for him to solve.

Gu Changle takes the drawing from Chen Xuri’s hands, looks at it carefully and then says: “Please fax a copy of it to me. We will reply to you tomorrow.”

Chen Xuri takes the drawing back. His look is serious: “Sorry to trouble Chairman Shao and Miss Gu for this. It depends on you, then.”

Shao Tianze nods and then leaves with Gu Changle.

On the way back home, Gu Changle frowns. Shao Tianze, however, starts to consider the reason why the Xue Family did this to Xuri Construction.

Gu Changle is in a fret. Her beautiful eyes squint and she then says: “Xue Tao, the chairman of Xue’s, can’t be so canny. The idea must be presented by his parents.”

Shao Tianze nods: “Xue’s has been in construction industry in Yuncheng for more than 20 years. Xue’s and Xuri Construction have been getting along well these years. Why does Xue’s start to treat Xuri Construction as its enemy?”

Gu Changle bends her fingers and replies without considering: “They were afraid of Gu Changge before. Now Gu Changge is dead, so they have no scruple to make trouble for Gu’s. They don’t think you are as tough as Gu Changge.”

Shao Tianze sneers: “Really?”

Gu Changle turns to look at Shao Tianze’s handsome face and leans over to whisper in his ear: “They think that you are weaker than Gu Changge, so they make trouble for you. But I know better than them that you are not weak at all.”

After saying that, Gu Changle leans over to hold his neck and give a kiss on his cheek.

Shao Tianze frowns: “We are on the way home and I am still driving.”

“You had been with my sister for so many years. She definitely would not let you kiss her in the car, right? Do you want to make love with me in the car?” When she says this, she suddenly thinks of the headline in the front page of Yuncheng Morning Post this morning, “The 18-year-old daughter of the Song Family had sex with Chu Mochen in the car yesterday evening!”

Gu Changle feels upset when she thinks about that.

Shao Tianze does not refuse her suggestion immediately. He says to her softly: “Wait until I stop the car at home.”

Gu Changle hears it, smiles brightly and then moves her soft body back to the passenger seat.

But as she moves, a silver-white car appears in the fork ahead.

Shao Tianze turns the steering wheel immediately in order to avoid the crash. However, he finds that car doesn’t slow down at all. It almost comes straight to them!

“Ah!”Gu Changge screams as the brake screeches.

The two cars collide together. Because the other car drives behind them, Shao Tianze’s car is damaged more seriously.

Under the road lights, Shao Tianze kicks open the door of the seriously damaged car and hurries to drag out the woman who has passed out in the passenger seat.

“Changle! Changle! How are you? Changle?”

He drags the woman who has passed out in the seat out of the car and then starts to pat her face at the roadside.

However, after being patted for a while, Gu Changle still doesn’t respond at all.

Shao Tianze turns back anxiously to see if there are some cars passing by. However, although this road is not far away from the bustling area of Yuncheng, most of vehicles passing by are private cars at this time in the evening.

Those private cars don’t stop for them. People are so indifferent these years.

Shao Tianze is rather worried. He keeps patting Changle’s face.

Gu Changle who is lying in his arms remains motionless.

Shao Tianze sees that her lips turn pale gradually and reaches out to check her pulse. He is afraid that her heart will stop beating after the shock. They can’t stand losing another heart.

Fortunately, he can feel that her heart is beating.

The car that collides with his car is also seriously damaged. Shao Tianze starts to look for the mobile phone he carries with, wanting to dial the emergency number. However, he does not find it.

At the moment, he suddenly hears a brake sound comes from the roadside.

Shao Tianze looks up and finds that it is the car that has drove pass them before. It stops at the side of the road not far away from here.

Two young girls get off the car.

One of them runs towards them quickly, her short black hair waving in the wind.

When the girl runs closer, Shao Tianze is surprised: “Shao Xue?”

Shao Xue comes over and sees ShaoTianze who holds Gu Changle in his arms. She is shocked: “Brother, what happened to sister Changle?”

Shao Tianze’s face is pale: “A car rushes out at the fork towards us. I couldn’t avoid it in time. We collided. Fortunately, I was not injured. But Changle fainted.”

Shao Xue squats down to touch Changle’s face: “We must take sister Changle to the hospital as soon as possible.”

When Shao Tianze is about to say that there is no car, a girl who is gasping behind them says: “You can use my car.”

Hearing the clear voice, Shao Tianze turns to see the one who are speaking.

It’s Song Yunxuan in a camel-colored cashmere coat. She is bending over to gasp there.

She doesn’t seem to exercise very often. She gasps heavily even though she has run only a few steps.

Shao Tianze holds Gu Changle in his arms and answers Song Yunxuan: “Let’s go then. Sorry to bother you.”

Song Yunxuan smiles: “It doesn’t bother me at all.”

It indeed doesn’t bother her. She is waiting for this opportunity to send them to the hospital. Now, here comes her opportunity.

Because Gu Changle has fainted, ShaoTianze gets on the car quickly.

Song Yunxuan’s driver starts the car. Shao Xue and Shao Tianze are taking care of Gu Changle at the back seat. They arrive at the People’s Hospital fifteen minutes later.

Song Yunjia has been informed, too. She is waiting at the hospital’s door. The stretcher and the instruments are already there.

Gu Changle, being held in Shao Tianze’s arms, gets off the car. Song Yunjia let paramedics put Gu Changle on the stretcher quickly and push her to the operating room for inspection and rescue.

Shao Tianze goes after them. Shao Xue also follows them. Song Yunxuan, however, stands at the door of the hospital for a while and then returns to her car.

She receives a call. The voice of the man in the phone trembles: “I hit the black car whose plate number contains three-six as you asked. But if it is investigated…”

“Don’t worry, the surveillance camera there has been broken for a long time.”

Hearing that, the man doesn’t continue to ask.

Song Yunxuan looks at the hospital’s door and lowers her voice: “Don’t show up in Yuncheng anymore. I will send the money to your account.”

“That woman is alive, right?”

“Yes, she is alive.”

The man wants to hang up the phone after hearing that.

However, Song Yunxuan adds unhurriedly: “Although they are both alive, I can’t tell if you can be alive once they find that you have deliberately hit them.”

The man is shocked by her words. He promises to her: “I guarantee that I will leave Yuncheng immediately and I will definitely let no one find me!”

Song Yunxuan smiles and hangs up the phone.

It’s easy to let timid people keep a secret.

She always likes using sharp knives, even if they may cut her own hand. Now, those sharp knives have been bought by people who are more powerful than her.

She can only use these blunt knives.

But it doesn’t matter. As long as it is a knife, she can use it to remove her opponents’ bones. After all, she is Gu Changge.

……

Gu Changle is transferred to the intensive care unit after being examined and rescued in the operating room.

Song Yunjia takes off her mask and comes towards Shao Tianze. Shao Tianze asks anxiously: “How is she?”

“She didn’t suffer severe injuries. But her heart is very fragile. She should avoid this kind of shock. Otherwise, it will easily lead to premature heart failure.”

Hearing Gu Changle is alright, Shao Tianze finally relieves.

Song Yunjia takes off disposable gloves and throws them into the garbage can next to her: “Your sister has been worried about Gu Changle. I can see that she is very close to you. She is very concerned about your lover.”

When Song Yunjia says this, she feels a little sad.

Shao Tianze smiles: “Shao Xue is a good girl. She treats everyone with kindness”

Song Yunjia does not believe it. But she does not refute.

“Are you going to the ward to see her now?”

“Since Shao Xue is there with her, I will visit her later.”

“I don’t think you can leave tonight. Let’s go downstairs to have a cup of coffee. You can refresh yourself with it. Changle needs to be taken care of tonight.”

Shao Tianze shows a smile and agrees: “Alright.”

They go downstairs to have coffee in a cafe. The café is very clean.It’s ten o’clock in the evening and there are a few people who are patients’ relatives having simple dinner there.

Shao Tianze sits by the window and watches the dark night outside.

Song Yunjia is very confused: “When Changle was discharged from the hospital, I told you to make sure she has a good rest. Why did you take her out so late? Did you date together tonight?”

She knows that there is a famous western restaurant in that area. The French dishes in the restaurant taste authentic.

Song Yunjia suspects that they have had a romantic appointment tonight.

Shao Tianze puts his arms on the table, lowers his eyelashes and takes a sip of the coffee: “No. In fact, we went to handle a problem.”

“What’s the problem?” Song Yunjia is curious.

Shao Tianze says: “Do you know Xuri Construction?”

Song Yunjia frowns, thinks about it for a while and then answers him uncertainly: “You refers to the Xuri Construction whose president wanted to jump off the roof but was dissuaded by Gu Changge?”

Shao Tianze nods. He praises Song Yunjia with a smile: “You have a good memory as you did in college.”

Song Yunjia cherishes the days in university, because she met Shao Tianze then. She can remember everything happened in college.

She is pleasant that Shao Tianze praises her and he still remembers the thing happened in college.

Song Yunjia’s voice becomes soft: “Xuri Construction belongs to Gu’s, doesn’t it? What happened?”

Shao Tianze replies: “It is true that Xuri Construction belongs to Gu’s. The problem was caused by the Xue Family, which your younger sister married into.

Chapter 70 End of the First Round

When Shao Tianze leaves Han Rujia’s house, Gu Changle’s nose turns red because of coldness.

Seeing Shao Tianze, she immediately walks to him and asks: “Is Jiajia willing to accept the help of Gu’s?”

Shao Tianze shakes his head tiredly, and the feeling of being shocked that all his nerves tightened is still lingering in his mind.

Someone is coming to Gu’s with full of enmity.

That person is not Chu Mochen.

He feels that man is very dangerous, but he doesn’t know who the man is.

Hearing that Han Rujia has refused them, Gu Changle frowns suddenly: “I am going to talk to her.”

After saying that, Gu Changle is going to enter the door, but she is suddenly grabbed by Shao Tianze.

Gu Changle looks back at him strangely: “What happened?”

“Don’t go. This thing can’t be saved.”

“Why?”

Shao Tianze raises the USB flash drive in his hand: “Because of this.”

Gu Changle doesn’t understand. After they return to the car, Gu Changle, who is confused, inserts the USB flash drive into the car, connects the player, and pushes the button.

“Changge, Han Rujia’s disfigurement is not a bad thing for us. We can take this opportunity to slander Venus. Venus is sued for disfiguring its consumers. Who else will go to Venus for plastic surgery?”

“But the person who bribed the doctor to disfigure Han Rujia is in Gu’s! Who is that person?!”

“……it’s me.”

This conversation breaks the tranquil atmosphere in the car. Gu Changle frowns and slams into the seat back. She is suddenly shocked from head to foot.

Shao Tianze grabs the steering wheel with his hands: “I don’t know when Changge recorded this audio. Once it is released, I will become more unpopular in Gu’s.”

Gu Changle shakes her head: “No, it’s impossible. I don’t believe that sister would record it. Besides, you admitted it because you were afraid that my sister would attack me. You are the scapegoat of me.”

Shao Tianze takes a breath and starts the car: “Anyhow, this thing is not as easy to handle as we think.”

“What about this audio?”

Shao Tianze steps on the accelerator, speeds up the car and turns away from the street where Han Rujia lives: “This audio is handed over to me by Han Rujia. She said that as long as Gu’s doesn’t charge her with libel, she will not turn against us and release the audio.”

Gu Changle nods indecisively: “That’s good… There is always a way, there is always a way to deal with…”

Although she says that there is always a way, this matter already cannot be saved.

Shao Tianze’s car gradually disappears after turning away from the street. When it almost cannot be seen, a black-haired woman in a red cashmere coat comes out from the corner.

The woman standing next to her wearing professional attire pats her chest: “It is in hot haste, Miss Song.”

Song Yunxuan looks at the car that is far away and smiles: “We finally catch up.”

After saying that, she turns to Xiao Hong: “Thanks for your friend who is a voice actor.”

Xiao Hong shakes her head: “My pleasure. He is a close friend of mine. I’ll treat him with a meal.”

“Is it enough to keep his mouth shut?”

Xiao Hong nods: “Of course, he can keep the secret.”

Song Yunxuan gives the bank card in the wallet to Xiao Hong: “I’ll pay for the money for the meal. The password is 666666.”

Xiao Hong wants to refuse, but Song Yunxuan says: “I will repay everyone who helped me.”

Relatively, the person who harmed me, I will retaliate against him.

Song Yunxuan does not say the second half of the sentence and just let Xiao Hong leave first. She looks at Xiao Hong’s figure, stands for a moment, and then she knocks on Han Rujia’s door, but finds that the door is not closed.

The door is not locked. She gently pushes and the door opens.

After she enters the living room, she sees Han Rujia sitting on the sofa.

Hearing the sound, Han Rujia raises her head. Seeing Song Yunxuan, she has no expression and then looks down again.

Song Yunxuan takes out the checkbook and gives a blank one to her: “The truth is priceless. You are sad because of the truth. I want to make up for you. You can choose how much you want for mental compensation.”

Han Rujia takes the blank check and shreds it into two, and then tears it into four pieces. She tears it into pieces of the size of a snowflake, and then smiles and throws them: “I don’t want your money. Thank you for telling the truth and Shao Tianze’s true color during my lifetime, Miss Song.”

“What do you want?”

She slowly reaches out and touches her horrible face: “I… want my face.”

In the end, Song Yunxuan gives her a ticket to go abroad and a check of a million yuan.

She once promised Yi Xiaoning, as long as she tells that Venus was framed by Gu’s, she will send her for plastic surgery, to leave the city to avoid debtors, give her a house and several hundreds of thousands of yuan.

When she leaves, she only feels that Han Rujia won’t need a property because she must want to get away from this city and Shao Tianze.

Therefore, the property is better to be chosen by her.

Her life can start again once the cosmetic surgery succeeds, and the black cloud won’t cover her forever.

When Song Yunxuan leaves Han Rujia’s house, Shao Xue just arrives. Seeing her, she just asks “Have you solved it?”

Song Yunxuan nods: “I have solved it.”

In fact, the thing has been solved successfully.

It is the second day.

In the Yuncheng Morning Post, Han Rujia wearing a mask and sunglasses who is reported is going to fly to LA.

Yi Xiaoning and Venus sign a contract that Venus promises to restore Yi Xiaoning’s face to what it used to be within two years. It is also reported subsequently.

After reading the report on the table, Song Yunqiang asks Song Yunxuan: “I heard that Yi Xiaoning owed a huge amount of gambling debts.”

Song Yunxuan shows five fingers, Song Yunqiang guesses: “50 million?”

“Not so much, five million, I have let Childe Chu to pay back.”

Song Yunqiang shakes his head: “Five million can be called a huge amount? She is really poor.”

After reading the financial section of the morning paper, Song Yunxuan puts down the newspaper and starts eating: “Five million is a huge amount for ordinary people, but not for you.”

“Using an A-lister will only cost a couple of million yuan. Why don’t you propose that Childe Chu find an A-lister to endorse for Venus? Venus has been whitewashed anyway.”

Song Yunxuan sneers: “Is an A-lister willing to let me ruin her face and then restore it?”

Song Yunqiang is speechless.

Although Venus has been whitewashed, there is an urgent need for an opportunity to establish a brand and public reputation.

If Yi Xiaoning’s face is recovered, it will be the best chance to build a brand for Venus.

Song Yunxuan has thought clearly about the pros and cons of this matter, so she paid the five million gambling debts for Yi Xiaoning.

She tells others that Childe Chu paid the money because she wants the Song Family to think that it is Childe Chu’s idea and action.

Shao Tianze does not give up whitewashing the suspicion of destroying his peers for Tianxiang Salon. But the idea of destroying Gu Changge’s reputation has been given up.

Shao Tianze looks for a doctor who had surgery for Yi Xiaoning and Han Rujia, and bribes them to announce they were disfigured because of their mistakes. They apologize to Yi Xiaoning and Han Rujia respectively and ask them not to misunderstand Gu’s.

Gu’s also says generously that they will not sue Yi Xiaoning and Han Rujia for slandering them.

The reporters analyses the words and deeds of the two doctors and don’t trust them. They still believe that Gu’s is fooling people in order to protect Tianxiang Salon.

Venus was whitewashed and signed a cosmetic contract with Yi Xiaoning.

The public begin to pay attention to the rise of Venus. On the contrary, because of the damage of the reputation, Tianxiang Salon gradually begins to be cast aside, and people even suspect Gu’s new chairman’s ability and character.

In the first round, Song Yunxuan did not cause much damage to Gu’s, but the things she did has caused Shao Tianze troubles. Venus also began to rise on a free ride.

Fifteen days later, Yi Xiaoning attracts the attention of the outside media after the first cosmetic surgery. Her face has undergone tremendous changes and improvement compared with the disfigured appearance.

The media have thought that Yi Xiaoning can almost return to the appearance after the cosmetic surgery of Venus, and even become more beautiful than before.

When Chu Mochen has spare time, he listens to the Venus’ executive talking to him about Venus’s recent actions. He can’t help smiling. “Yunxuan are very good at business management.”

The executive was not optimistic about Sing Yunxuan at first. However, after a series of changes, he recognizes the 18-year-old girl’s ability.

“Childe Chu, Miss Song is a very competent girl.”

Chu Mochen nods: “I think so.”

After saying that, he suddenly says: “I haven’t seen her for a long time.”

The executive smiles: “Childe Chu, I heard from the staff who contacted with Miss Song a few days ago that Miss Song’s birthday happens to be on Christmas Day.”

Chu Mo Yu is a little surprised: “Is it?”

The executive nods: “Venus’s female employees have already begun to prepare gifts for Miss Song and want to invite Miss Song to have a dinner at her birthday.”

“I’m afraid she won’t be free. Help her to refuse.”

“Ok.” The executive nods immediately.

……

When Song Yunxuan receives a call from Chu Mochen, she has taken a shower and is reading the newspaper out of boredom. She suddenly sees the news about the Xue Family.

The title above is: The Wife Met the Mistress. Mrs. Xue Had a Strong Supporter to Win the Game completely.

Song Yunxuan smiles, and there is a call from Chu Mochen when she wants to call Song Yunying.

After she picks up, Chu Mochen speaks first: “Did you eat dinner?”

Song Yunxuan is in an unusual good mood and nods: “I have just eaten.”

Seeing her is in a good mood, Chu Mochen then asks: “Why are you so happy?”

“It is my privacy.”

The second half of the sentence of Chu Mochen is blocked by Song Yunxuan’s words.

There is a moment of silence over there, and Song Yunxuan reads the newspaper boringly: “Is there anything else? I am going to hang up.”

“Of course there is something.”

“Then let’s talk about it.”

“I am downstairs. Get dressed and come out.”

Song Yunxuan suddenly frowns, slams the newspaper all at once, gets up from the bed and goes to the window to open the curtains.

Downstairs, there is a man who is leaning in front of the blue Porsche and looking up at her.

The silhouette of the man’s face is very beautiful, because the phone near the ear lights his curved lips.

Such a handsome man, even actors can’t compete with him.

Song Yunxuan looks at him from the window. Looking at his beautiful eyes, she suddenly has a bad temper: “You are really annoying!”

Chapter 69 Audio Evidence

Gu Changle knocks at the door gently.

There are footsteps inside.

Gu Changle frowns and sneers: “The soundproofing effect of this door is really bad. Didn’t the people who bribed her give her check or cash?”

Shao Tianze does not answer and just looks at the door.

Being blocked by his gold-rimmed glasses, no one sees the gloominess in his eyes

He thinks that the reason why Han Rujia comes forward and testifies against Gu’s is definitely not just because of a blank check.

He is wondering who instructs her to testify.

The sound of the slippers is clear behind the door. Gu Changle’s eyelids suddenly convulse at the moment the door opens.

Then she shouts: “Jiajia!”

She covers her mouth with her hand and looks at Han Rujia. Her becomes tearfull immediately, as if she sees an old friend after so many years and can’t control herself because mixed feelings come up to her.

Han Rujia takes a glance at Gu Changle, her eyes wide with shock. But she gradually calms down and turns to look at Shao Tianze’s behind Gu Changle.

The last time she saw Shao Tianze, he was 29. Now 3 years later, Shao Tianze is still a handsome and elegant gentleman.

A flood of feelings come up to Han Rujia.

It seems that many years has passed by in a moment. She recalls a lot of things.

She looks at Shao Tianze calmly and quietly without any hatred. In the end, she even shows a slight bitter smile: “You are looking for me?”

Shao Tianze nods: “I am looking for you.”

Han Rujia does not immediately step aside from the front door but shows a faint smile on her ugly face and looks at Gu Changle: “Changle, are you coming for me by yourself or coming with Tianze?”

Han Rujia is still familiar with Gu Changle after so many years.

Gu Changle is stunned and she responses vacantly: “Of course, I come to see you with Tianze.”

Han Rujia smiles ironically: “I remember, Shao Tianze seems to have married your sister Gu Changge? Is it appropriate for you to stay with your brother-in-law all day?”

Gu Changle is shocked because it is the first time she has been warned by others.

Other people usually don’t speak to her so directly. They even fawn on her because of Shao Tianze.

Seeing her being shocked, Han Rujia smiles and looks at Shao Tianze: “Shao Tianze, come in alone and let your sister-in-law wait outside.”

“Jiajia?”

Han Rujia raises her hand: “Gu Changle, don’t call me like that. You’d better wait outside because I am not qualified to be your friend with such an ugly face.”

After saying that, Han Rujia looks at Shao Tianze: “Would you like to come in?”

Shao Tianze nods and comes in: “Sorry to bother you.”

“No, I have been waiting for you for many years.”

Hearing this, Gu Changle behind Shao Tianze clenches her fist suddenly. Her eyes are so cold that people being watched by her may feel they are stung.

After Shao Tianze enters the door, he turns to look at Changle: “You are not in good health. Don’t stand outside the door, go to the car and wait for me. I will find you immediately after talking to her.”

He treats her in a tender and gentle way like treating a child.

Hearing his voice and seeing his appearance, Gu Changle slowly loosens her fingers.

Her expressionless face is like a blooming white rose flower. She reveals a soft smile: “Well, come out early.”

Hearing her words, Han Rujia sneers and closes the shabby door inside.

Gu Changle grinding her teeth, wanting to tear Han Rujia apart right away.

Although Han Rujia has been disfigured, she has loved Shao Tianze deeply for many years.

She really worries about that they stay together alone!

……

The room inside the door is neat and orderly. Although most of the furniture is worn out, the owner cleans the furniture very carefully.

Shao Tianze is tall. He does not sit down immediately after entering the room. Instead, he looks at Han Rujia and asks her: “How are you doing over the past few years?”

“Because of the thing you had done to me, I would rather die than live.” After saying that, she points at the sofa. “Please sit down, would you like tea or coffee?”

Shao Tianze smiles bitterly: “You don’t look well. Drinking tea and coffee leads to insomnia. You should drink boiled water or milk.”

“I’ll give you some coffee.” Han Rujia arbitrarily decides and bents over to put a cup of instant coffee in front of him.

Shao Tianze does not disdain it. He takes a sip from the mug and then begins to get to the point: “You must hate us very much.”

“You?” Han Rujia laughs. “Who are you referring to?”

“I am referring to Changge and me.”

Han Rujia sits on the sofa opposite Shao Tianze: “Why don’t you think that I hate Gu Changle?”

“In the past, only Gu Changge was able to do so, but you doubt Changle?”

Han Rujia looks up at him and the smile on her face has almost disappeared: “It is the matter of Gu Changge that she is willing to be the scapegoat of Gu Changle. And I am free to hate whoever I want.”

“Now Gu’s belongs to neither Gu Changge nor Gu Changle but me. Do you want to hurt me?”

Han Rujia shakes her head: “My love to you has never changed, and I have never thought about hurting you.”

“Then why are you doing this now…”

“I do this because I haven’t seen you for a long time. If I hadn’t done this, will you come to see me?”

Shao Tianze suddenly frowns.

.

Han Rujia touches her face smilingly: “Talking with someone like me who is so ugly must be an insult to you and it makes you feel sick, right?”

Shao Tianze takes a breath: “No, I am sorry that I didn’t stop the Changge from doing this to you.”

Han Rujia smiles: “It’s OK. I can still recover because she promised to send me to do the best cosmetic surgery abroad.”

“Who said that?” Shao Tianze becomes excited suddenly.

As long as he knows this person, he will know who wants to subvert Gu’s. Is she the people in Chu’s?

Han Rujia shakes her head: “I am sorry, I can’t tell you.”

Shao Tianze does not continue to ask who this person is because Gu Changge once said—the more you want to know the problem, the more likely others will not tell you.

He knows that Gu Changge is right.

He calms down and looks down: “Now I am the head of Gu’s. I can also send you to do the best surgery abroad. Gu’s did a wrong thing before. I am willing to make the decision to send you abroad.”

Han Rujia smiles and looks at him: “So, why are you willing to do this?”

“I just feel guilty about what Changge has done to you.”

As long as Han Rujia promises and declares that she is willing to accept the help and compensation provided by Gu’s, Shao Tianze will tell the public that he feels embarrassed and makes up for Han Rujia because Gu Changge has harmed her so deeply.

At that time, they don’t need to say anything else to put the blame on Gu Changge, who is already dead.

Gu Changge is a business woman. He can tell others indirectly that this arbitrary and vicious woman will do anything for benefit.

He quietly waits for Han Rujia to give him a reply.

There is a sound of alert tone of email in Han Rujia’s bedroom.

Han Rujia puts down the coffee cup and smiles to apologize: “I am going to check my email.”

Then she enters the bedroom.

Three minutes later, Han Rujia comes out of the bedroom.

Coming out of her bedroom, Han Rujia seems even weaker. She looks at Shao Tianze blankly.

“What has happened?”

Han Rujia holds her head with her hands and says: “I just accidentally looked into the mirror and was scared by myself.”

Shao Tianze becomes apologetic: “I know that things in the past have caused great harm to you, so please promise to let me help you anyway.”

Holding her forehead and listening to him, she suddenly sneers.

Then she raises her head slowly and looks at him: “Shao Tianze, I haven’t seen your true color for so many years. Now, I finally see it clearly.”

“What do you mean?” Shao Tianze has a bad feeling suddenly.

Han Rujia takes her hand off her forehead: “I won’t accept your help and I wash you leave now.”

“Ajia, you…”

Being called Ajia, Han Rujia stuns a little.

Like suddenly recalling things many years ago, she slowly shows a bitter smile: “You must think that I don’t know good from bad because I let you go and reject your help. But I do have a reason. Let’s take a look at my reason before you call my name again.”

After that, she stands up and goes to the bedroom to take out her laptop.

The earphones inserted above are pulled out suddenly and a sound which chills Shao Tianze to the marrow comes out of the loudspeaker.

“Changge, Han Rujia’s disfigurement is not a bad thing for us. We can take this opportunity to slander Venus. Venus is sued for disfiguring its consumers. Who else will go to Venus for plastic surgery?”

“But the person who bribed the doctor to disfigure Han Rujia is in Gu’s! Who is that person?!”

“……it’s me.”

The simple sentence makes all the surroundings become quiet.

Shao Tianze only feels that there is a thunder near his ears. Then he stares at the laptop that playing the audio, his eyes wide with shock.

This is impossible!

This is absolutely impossible!

How could the dialogue be recorded and kept until now? And it happens to appear on Han Rujia’s computer?

How could this happen?

Han Rujia presses her finger on the single loop key of the audio software and looks at Shao Tianze: “This is the reason why I refuse you, Shao Tianze.”

She was still thinking about whether she should accept Shao Tianze’s help to do plastic surgery just now.

However, this e-mail sent to her completely changes her mind.

He is such a utilitarian man even when he tries to be kind.

How can she accept his help?

Chapter 67 Xue Tao’s Parents

When Song Yunxuan arrives at the Xue Family, Song Yunying is listening to music and seems relaxed.

Song Yunqiang comes to talk to her: “Yunying, I come to visit you with Yunxuan.”

Taking a look at the servants at home, Song Yunying smiles and welcomes them. “Big brother, it is so kind of you for visiting me when you are so busy.”

Song Yunqiang nods, sits down then looks at Song Yunxuan: “Yunxuan worries that you are in a bad mood, so we come over to accompany you.”

Song Yunying has taken her as an eyesore since Song Yunxuan came into the house. But nowshe is not at the Song Family where she grows up but at the Xue Family. Her words and deeds at the Xue Family will be watched by the surrounding servants.

These damn servants will tell her in-laws every bit of her misconduct right away and it willmake her in-laws who are not satisfied with her since she married in get more tired of her.

She is tired at the Xue Family because she must be careful when she makes every move.

However, since she has married, she can’t get divorce.

Otherwise, it is an insult to the Song Family and it will also make a mockery of her.

Seeing that her sister become more considerate at the Xue Family, Song Yunxuan urges her big brother: “Big brother, remember to pick me up at night. Maybe sister will ask me to eat dinner with her, so you don’t need to come too early.”

Song Yunqiang nods and gets up: “I can’t accompany you because I have something to do. You can talk with Yunxuan. Don’t bottle everything up inside. It is not good for your health.”

Song Yunqiang cares about Song Yunying only because they have grown up together.

Since Song Yunxuan has come already, she can’t drive her away but nod and send her older brother to leave.

Song Yunxuan looks around the inside of the Xue Family after Song Yunqiang leaves: “You are alone at home? Where are uncle Xue and aunt Xue?”

Song Yunying originally wants to say: “Do you think they are as idle as you are?” However, when she is about to say that, she thinks it not appropriate at the Xue Family.

Thus, she says indirectly: “Your brother-in-law has gone on business these days, so they all went to the company.”

Hearing that Xue Tao’s parents are not at home, Song Yunxuan feels more at ease and smiles: “Aren’t you joking? I heard from brother yesterday that he met brother-in-law at Sanmentai.”

Sanmentai is a business hotel in Yuncheng.It is named Sanmentai because it locates near Sanmentai Mountain.

Everyone in Yuncheng knows that Sanmentai is an entertainment place for playboys. It provides them with one-stop amusement like bathing, massage, drinking, karaoke and mahjong.

Compared to the YuntingYese Bar in the center of Yuncheng, this Sanmentai is even more mysterious.

Talking about Sanmentai, Song Yunying clenches her hands. She looks furious as expected.

Song Yunxuan sighs and puts her hand on the back of Song Yunying’s hand: “Sister, don’t blame brother-in-law. You know that a man will just regard it as a game and won’t treat it seriously.”

Song Yunying does not say a word but gnashes her teeth.

.

Xue Tao hasn’t touched her from the day she got married, not to mention sleeping with her.

She can put up with Xue Tao playing outside. However, he has gone too farduring these days.

In the past, there were a lot of women around Xue Tao. However, within a week, he would get tired of them. Since Zhang Xiao seduced Xue Tao a month ago, Xue Tao is not tired of her until now.

Song Yunying is very annoyed and even begins to wonder if Zhang Xiao will put threat to her status.

Seeing that Song Yunying refuses to take the initiative to say about Xue Tao, Song Yunxuan smiles and asks:“Has my little nephew been naughty recently?”

Song Yunying feels really uncomfortable in the living room. Looking at the smile on Song Yunxuan’s face, she suddenly says: “I made a pair of small socks forhim. Come to my room and have a look.”

Song Yunxuan supports Song Yunying to stand up: “You are clever and deft, so the things you weaved are definitely good. Let me see.”

Song Yunying thinks that Song Yunxuan is also good at pretending to be kind.

They go upstairs like they are really close. When they enter Song Yunying’s room, Song Yunying pulls her arm back from her sister’s hands. She is angry: “How can you have time to laugh at me?”

Song Yunxuan closes the door and gently locks it after going inside: “Sister, you have mistaken me as such a bad person. I really just come to visit you.”

Song Yunying sneers: “You really come to laugh at me.”

Song Yunxuan walks around Song Yunying’s bedroom and opens curtains of the bedroom, letting the sun shine into the room: “Even if you sleep alone, you don’t have to make the curtains close all day. You need the ability to keep the family scandal from being known by others.”

As soon as she finishes, Song Yunying is so angry that she stares at her: “What the hell are you doing here!”

Song Yunxuan turns to look at her sister and her smile disappears: “Sister, your mother went abroad after you got married. And she hasn’t come back to see you until now. You feel lonely, right?”

Song Yunying bites her lips without saying a word. What Song Yunxuan said are all right.

At the beginning, she gave Song Yunxuan 80 million RMB. That is all the savings she has with her mother at the Song Family for many years. Although it was not got in a decent way, they depend on it when her mother gets old.

However, it is discovered by Song Yunxuan. So many years has passed, her mother and Song Yan are indifferent to each other. Nowthey have lost 80 million RMB. She is afraid that when the Song Family check the account, they will find something wrong and punish her and her mother.

Therefore, her mother went abroad hastily. She gave her mother all the money she has raised in the Xue Family after she got pregnant.

She is alone at the Xue Family. The only thing that she can rely on is the company controlled by her brother and sister.

But now, the company, her older brother and sister, none of them can’t help her if something happens.

The only one she can rely on is herself.

It is right to say that she is in isolation.

Seeing Song Yunying utter no word, Song Yunxuan turns to look the books about pregnant in her room: “Sister, you are very concerned with this child, right? You bought so many books.”

Song Yunying feels that she is weak. She is four months pregnant and it is inconvenient for her to move. She is really careful, lest there is something wrong about the child. Once this child is born, she will have a good supporter at the Xue Family.

She is very angry because Xue Tao has an affair with Zhang Xiao. She has lost her appetite for a few days and she has no one to talk to. What can she do other than reading?

Seeing Song Yunying holding her waist, Song Yunxuan comes to help her solicitously: “Why do you have such a heavy hostility to me? I can’t start my own magazine without your help. Sister, you helped me,so I will help you too.”

The last sentence is very subtle.

Song Yunying, supported by her to sit down, looks at her eyes involuntarily: “What do you mean by saying this?”

“I mean its literal meaning.”She smiles innocently.

Song Yunying understands her implication. When she wants to pull her hand back, Song Yunying suddenly grabs her hand: “Yunxuan, although we are at odds with each other, we are of the same blood, if you can help me……”

Song Yunxuan raises her hand and puts a finger on Song Yunying’s lips. Her eyes suddenly become a little brighter: “Sister, the idea should be kept in your mind, not in your mouth.”

Song Yunying looks at her countenance and is suddenly shocked. Something is spreading gradually in her heart. Song Yunxuan makes her feel a little cold.

“What do you want to do?”

Song Yunxuan shakes her head: “Sister, I don’t want to do anything.”

“Then why do you…”

Song Yunxuan grabs Song Yunying’s hands and looks at the wedding photo hanging over the bed: “Sister, it is normal that there are women fall in love with brother- in-lawbecause he is outstanding. It is not about what I want to do, but what do you want to do?”

Being reminded by Song Yunxuan, Song Yunying frowns: “I am pregnant now, what can I do?”

“How can others help you if you can’t help yourself?”

“But…”

Seeing her being so hesitant, Song Yunxuan smiles: “Sister, no matter what do you want to do, you must have a helper. It is the same for brother-in-law’s affair. When will your in-laws come home to have dinner? I want to have dinner with them.”

Song Yunying looks at Song Yunxian’s expression and pauses for a moment before saying, “At five o’clock.”

Song Yunxuan really waits until five o’clock.

At six o’clock, Xue Tao’s parents come back from the company by car. Hearing that the youngest daughter of The Song Family has come to visit her sister, they are both surprised.

Song Yunxuan is chatting with Song Yunying. Hearing someone come back, she quickly stands up and says: “Uncle Xue, aunt Xue, you are back.”

“This is Yunxuan?” Xue Tao’s father points at Song Yunxuan and asks Song Yunying.

Song Yunying nods: “Yes, Dad.”

The relationship between the Xue Family and the Song Family is not very close. Although they are relatives, Xue’s parents originally disagreed with Song Yunying marrying into the Xue Family. They are not supposed to treat Song Yunxuan so well.

Seeing Song Yunxuan, they are enthusiastic: “Miss Song is really pretty. No wonder Childe Chu fell in love with Miss Song at the first sight.”Xue Tao’s mother takes a look at Song Yunxuan and praises her.

In fact, Song Yunxuan knows very well that the Xue Family always wants to cooperate with Chu’s. But Chu’s is always impersonal and the bid is always fair.

Now, seeing the fiancée of Chu Mochen, they want to know that if this fiancée can help them.

They has been beating about the bush when talking with Song Yunxuan since most of the content is related to Chu’s.

When they are having dinner, Song Yunxuan reaches for foods and the true love ring on her finger shocks them a little.

“Miss Song, is this the ring that Childe Chu gave you?”

Song Yunxuan smiles and says: “Yes. He gave it to amuse me.”

She speaks it calmly. However, it startles Xue Tao’s parents.

Ordinary men can only buy one of that kind of ring for a lifetime. He gave her just to amuse her?

This little girl is indeed modest and innocent.

However, it is her innocence that may bring them some benefits.

Chapter 66 I Want You to Leave Him

Song Yunqiang frowns: “You should visit your second sister when you are free.”

However, after saying that, Song Yunqiang feels that his words are needless because Song Yunying takes her as an eyesore.

Knowing being treated as an eyesore, Song Yunxuan probably will not visit her sister voluntarily.

It is unexpected that Song Yunxuan agrees: “Big brother, I am going to visit sister this afternoon. What do you think?”

After saying that, Song Yunqiang can’t stop her from visiting.But he worries that Song Yunying will get angry for being taken as a joke after seeing Song Yunxuan. He says: “I will drop you out.”

They eat breakfast happily for having decided to do this.

Song Yunqiang goes to work at the Song Family’s company in the morning. He doesn’t come back for lunch at noon. In the afternoon, he tells Song Yunxuan that he will take her to the Xue Family to visit her sister at two o’clock.

After lunch, Song Yunxuan receives a call from Chu Mochen.

The voice of Chu Mochen is attractive for its magnetism. After answering the phone, she begins to think about why he calls her.

However, he talks about Gu’s directly.

“How do you feel today?”

“Not bad.”

“You did a good job about Venus.”

Holding the phone, Song Yunxuan goes back to her room: “That is true.”

“But you didn’t make it a perfect murder with a borrowed knife.”

Song Yunxuan is shocked a little. Then Chu Mochen continues: “If Shao Tianze changes his target slightly, Gu Changge will be the only scapegoat for ruining Venus’ reputation.”

Song Yunxuan smiles: “Don’t worry too much. I really appreciate Miss Gu. Although she is dead, I will not ruin her reputation.”

Chu Mochen nods: “That’s good.”

Song Yunxuan hangs up first and doesn’t say goodbye. Listening to the busy tone in the phone, Chu Mochen shakes his head slightly: “Is she jealous?”

Rong Six who stands aside like a wandering ghost says: “Of course a woman won’t accept that her man cares about another woman.”

What Rong Liu said is actually right.

Because Song Yunxuan is not the only one who cares about that, Gu Changle cares much more than her.

When Shao Xue comes home in the afternoon, she enters together with Shao Tianze.

GuChangle just puts the dinner on the table. Seeing them enter, she smiles: “Welcome home.”

They nod to her.

The food smells good. Shao Xue smiles happily: “The food seems to be delicious.”

Gu Changle looks at Shao Tianze gently: “I cook the food personally. Wash your hands and come to eat.”

Shao Xue goes back to her room, puts down her things and goes to the bathroom to wash her hands. When she passes the window, she sees that the big swimming pool outside has been drained. She stands still there.

It’s a typical example that everything haschanged since the one left.

Gu Changge is died and her home has been changed beyond recognition. Within a week, the swimming pool will probably disappear.

Shao Tianze also washes his hands and comes to eat. At the dinner table, Gu Changle puts her black hair behind her ears and introduces the dishes: “This is Kung Pow Chicken. You must be familiar with this dish. I added a little more sugar. I am not sure whether you like it or not.”

Shao Xue picks up some for Shao Tianze: “Big brother, have a taste of it.”

Shao Tianze opens his mouth and eats it.

GuChangle immediately clenches her hands and her eyes are full of anger.

But immediately, Shao Tianze nods: “It tastes good. Changle, you taste it.”

After saying that, he picks some for Gu Changle.

A little shocked, Gu Changle eats it.

The taste is really good.

Then she introduces other dishes. Shao Xue doesn’t pick up food for Shao Tianze anymore. After eating, she feels satisfied and praises Gu Changle’s cooking.

Gu Changle smiles gently: “Do you cook?”

Shao Xue shakes her head: “I didn’t learn to cook because I haven’t found the man I love.”

Gu Changle looks at Shao Tianze thoughtfully: “I learned to cook to kill time. In the past, my sister never cooked. Sometimes Tianze and the two children are hungry then they will go out to eat. I don’t think it is good for them, so I learned to cook.”

They are talking about the two children, which attracts Shao Xue’s attention: “Children?”

Shao Tianze finishes the meal and wipes his lips with tissue. His movement is elegant: “They are Gu Yi and Miaomiao. After Changge’s death, I sent them to the boarding kindergarten because I am too busy and have no time to take care of them. They come home once a month.”

Shao Xue looks at the smile of Gu Changle and feels a little nervous.

Although Shao Tianze is the father of the two children, he still gives up accompanying his children because of Gu Changle.

Seeing that Gu Changle and Shao Tianze are going to sit for a while after eating, Shao Xue goes upstairs.

After finishing her work brought from office, she has not fallen asleep until 9 o’clock.

Out of thirst, she goes out to the dining room to drink some water.

It is unexpected that at nine o’clock, when the whole family is quiet, Gu Changle is still sitting on the chair in the dining room.

When Shao Xue comes in, she is shocked. Seeing that Gu Changle doesn’t wear her usual smile, she is a little strange: “Sister Changle, what are you doing here?”

“I can’t sleep.”

“Where is my brother?”

If Shao Tianze is with her, she will not say that she can’t sleep.

As expected, Gu Changle gives a short smile and looks at her: “Tianze has something to deal with. He got a call and went out.”

After getting water, Shao Xue is going to ask Gu Changle to go sleep.

Gu Changle knocks the table and says to her toughly like commanding her: “I am so bored.Talk with me for a while.”

Shao Xue looks at Gu Changle and feels that she is strange tonight.

She used to be a person who won’t talk without a smile. Under the light which is as cold as the moonlight, her face looks sinister.

Shao Xue pulls out the chair in front of the table and sits down.

There is a glass of milk which seems to be coldin front of Gu Changle.

Shao Xue says: “You have just discharged from the hospital. Drinking cold milk is not good for your health. I will help you heat the milk.”

Gu Changle refuses: “I am not coming to drink milk. I am here to talk to you.”

Shao Xue feels confused: “What do you want to tell me?”

“I want you to do something.”Gu Changle looks at her coldly.

Shao Xue suddenly feels that something is wrongand her nerves can’t help tightening: “What?”

Gu Changle’s eyes become soft, but her words are extremely cold: “I want you to leave him.”

“Him?” Shao Xue is bewildered.

“Shao Tianze.”

Shao Xue is confused: “Why?”

“No reason,” Gu Changle looks at her with disdain. She takes the checkbook from the low cabinet next to the dining table. Then she opens the pen cap and intends to write on the blank checkbook. “How much do you want to leave him willingly?”

Shao Xue wants to sneer: “Miss Gu, you can’t command me like that. If you want me to leave, let Shao Tianze tell me. I will follow his words.”

After saying that, she stands up, wanting to leave.

But suddenly, Shao Xue is splashed a cup of white liquid.

When Shao Xue notices that, she has already been spilled over with a cup of cold milk.

GuChangle stands up and looks at her contemptuously. Her eyes are cold and virulent: “I said I want you to leave, so you must leave.”

For a moment, Shao Xue feels extremely awkward and angry.

Being angry, she has a compulsion to give Gu Changle a slap.

However, after calming down for five seconds, she completely changes her mind.

Her milk-soaked hair sticks on her forehead, but her eyes are bright. She squints at Gu Changle:”Miss Gu, you are angry because my brother treats me well. Am I right?”

Gu Changle who turns back to her pauses for a while: “I will drive you out one day.”

Shao Xue smiles: “Well, I will wait for that.”

Song Yunxuan is right. GuChangle is indeed a virulent woman with a kind appearance.

But this time, she seems to expose herself too quickly.

Why?

She does that just because Shao Tianze treats her well?

She is really a jealous woman.

Gu Changle goes back to her room after leaving the dining room. But when she just goes to bed, she feels a pain in her heart.

She frowns, slowly puts her hands on her heartand says to herself: “Sister, do you also hurt?”

The heart of Gu Changge is beating in her chest, but Gu Changge is dead.

Thinking of this fact, she can’t help smiling: “Sister, I eventually win the game after so many years.”

Yes, Gu Changge is dead.

Shao Tianze finally belongs to her.

However, since Shao Tianze has already belonged to her, how can she allow another woman to take him away?

Is Shao Xue his cousin?

Are they distant relatives?

They don’t look like each other at all. She doesn’t believe that this girl named Shao Xue is a relative of Shao Tianze.

This girl must have some ulterior purposes. Shao Xue must want to take Shao Tianze away, the man whom she has been together with after waiting so many years.

“I won’t let anyone take him away.”

She looks ahead gloomily: “No one.”

Maybe others will think that she is vicious and jealous, but it doesn’t matter. She will not deny it, because she is indeed such a person.

No one knew how she felt when she saw the man whom she loves married another woman for 12 years.

No one knew how sad and jealous she was when she saw the man whom she loved kiss another woman in front of her.

She waited for Shao Tianze for twelve years in her best years. Watching him live with another woman happily day after day, year after year, her felt painful as her heart was like being stabbed.

Finally, Gu Changge has died and she got the man from Gu Changge.

How can she allow a young girl to easily destroy all of her painstaking plans?

No, definitely no.

She wants to kill the girl named Shao Xue.

Chapter 65 Father’s Partiality

After Shao Xue wakes up next day, she feels dizzy. When she goes downstairs to eat, she meets Gu Changle at the dinner table.

Gu Changle gives her a gentle and wonderful smile: “Come down and eat breakfast. There is preserved egg and pork congee this morning. It tastes very good.”

After that, she commands the servant next to her: “Go and give Shao Xue a bowl of congee.”

The servant rushes to ladle a bowl of congee.

Shao Tianze has already been eating for a while. Seeing Shao Xue come over, he asks her to sit down: “How are you feeling now? The feeling of hangover is not good, right?”

Shao Xue touches her head and feels embarrassed: “I feel really ashamed. I was drunk yesterday. Did I make any trouble for anyone?”

Shao Tianze has not spoken yet and Gu Changle speaks first: “My dear sister, what are you talking about? Tianze is your big brother. You were just drunk and wouldn’t cause any trouble.”

Shao Xue looks at Shao Tianze and apologizes: “I’m sorry, brother, I accidentally drank too much yesterday. I won’t drink anymore. You don’t need to worry.”

She raises her hand and makes a promise. Gu Changle shakes her head with a smile: “Young girls are energetic. You become vigorous again after sleeping for a night. Am I right, Tianze?”

Shao Tianze looks at Gu Changle and nods.

Gu Changle puts the sandwich on Shao Xue’s plate: “What kin is Tianze to you?”

Shao Xue turns to look at Shao Tianze, who just finishes eating the sandwich. He drinks the hot milk in the cup and answers: “She is my mother’s relative.”

Gu Changle nods and looks at Shao Xue’s face carefully: “It’s true that you don’t look like Tianze.”

Shao Tianze says again: “She is my distant relative. Because we lived close when we were young, so we are very familiar with each other.”

Gu Changle nods thoughtfully: “That’s why you two don’t look alike.”

Shao Tianze finishes his meal and puts on his coat. Before leaving, he asks Shao Xue: “Have you finished your meal? I will send you to work.”

Shao Xue quickly stuffs the remaining sandwich into her mouth and leaves the table: “Wait a minute. I am going to take my bag.”

The figure of Shao Xue is printed in the eyes of Gu Changle. There is lasting coldness in her eyes.

Shao Tianze looks at Gu Changle thoughtfully, but Gu Changle quickly shows a gentle smile.

While she is smiling, she is gentle and kind, as if the coldness is just the illusion of others.

Shao Xue goes out with Shao Tianze. When they arrive at the company, there are colleagues who come over and ask her if she feels good since she drank too much last night.

Shao Xue says that she feels very good. She goes to the office of Song Yunxuan a few times and sees that there is no one inside.

The last time, she meets Xiao Hong at the door.

Xiao Hong shows her the magazine plan in her hand: “This is the planning case we recently made according to the request of Miss Song. Miss Song said that the theme is urban male elites. How about the male elites I chose for the first issue?”

Shao Xue opens and finds that about seven men above are all elites who are at the top of different fields in Yuncheng. There is an elite lawyer who quickly comes into power after emerging, a young architect in the construction industry, and a popular star in the entertainment circle, an heir of the company who just came back from abroad, a young pianist, a painter who returned from abroad and a mysterious musician with a low profile.

Shao Xue looks at the photos of these people and nods: “They are all very good people.”

Xiao Hong agrees: “I think so, Miss Song said that this magazine can be named “Men’s Wear”. Our targeted readers are men and then women.”

Shao Xue smiles: “All these handsome elites will be envied by men. Only women will buy it and read.”

“That’s not true for those who have husband.”

“They can conceal their purchase.”

Xiao Hong and Shao Xue discuss the new magazine happily, but still can’t help changing the topic to Song Yunxuan.

“How is she going recently?”

Xiao Hong is pulled back to the topic: “Miss Song will not appear at the office recently. She contacts me and tells me all the processes. I heard that the Song Family has been a bit messy recently. It is better for Miss Song not to go out. And the things about Venus are very touchy to Miss Song.”

Many people have known that Chu’s gave Venus to Song Yunxuan.

Now, someone wants to whitewash Venus. The first thing that everyone thinks of is who the planner behind this whitewash is.

Daring to provoke Gu’s and have Gu’s as an opponent, it can’t be a small company.

Everyone takes it for granted that Chu’s is planning stealthily and some of Gu’s insiders are also steadfast in their belief that Chu’s takes Gu’s as an eyesore.

However, only Xiao Hong and Shao Xue know that the one who has planned all of this and misled everyone to take Chu’s as the planner is actually Song Yunxuan.

Song Yunxuan takes control of this huge conspiracy, but is able to stay out of the thing when it becomes a sensitive topic.

The reason is nothing butshe is good at murdering a person with a borrowed knife.

And since the knife has been borrowed, what she can do is to watch the changes.

At this moment, of course, she will not come back to show off. It is troublesome for her to let people know that her Song Yunxuan is not innocent.

Xiao Hong frowns and sighs: “It is difficult for Miss Song. If she doesn’t hide now, people will suspect her. She is not able to cope with the enemy on all sides.”

The Song Family regards her as a tool for marriage because Gu’s has a great power in Yuncheng.

She hasn’t married into the Chu Family. If something goes wrong, they will not help her.

She should keep a low profile.

Xiao Hong and Shao Xue know about this matter so they all keep their mouths shut.

However, Song Yunxuan is watched closely by her family.

Song Yunqiang talks with Song Yan about his guess that Shao Tianze turned against Gu Changge and then murdered Gu Changge. He thinks that Song Yan will be dissatisfied with this and will reprimand him when he talks about this.

After listening to his words, however, he just thinks for a while and asks him: “Who said this?”

Song Yunqiang is stunned and says: “It is just my guess.”

Song Yan is a little impatient: “It is difficult for you to think about that.”

When Song Yunqiang hears it, he feels that his father is praising him in disguise. But he is also obviously disparaging him.

Song Yan is silent for a while, but then he says as if he has just thought about it: “The things of other people are not related to us. We can only care about ourselves.”

“But, Dad, now Gu’s has such a problem and it can’t provide strong evidence to prove that they are framed. So, this must be true. If we continue to follow Gu’s, will we suffer losses? ”

Song Yan is very shrewd: “You mean, we should give up Gu’s and turn to support Chu’s?”

Song Yunqiang does not deny: “There is no doubt that Yunxuan is going to become one of the Chu Family because they have only one son. After Yunxuan gets married, we can’t show partiality to Gu’s.

Song Yan says with a sneer: “You think there is no doubt about that. However, others don’t think so. It seems that Yunxuan is going to be one of the Chu Family, but whether she can make it or not depends on her destiny.”

Song Yunqiang takes a breath: “That is more likely than Yunjia to marry Shao Tianze.”

Song Yunqiang doesn’t have much faith in Shao Tianze: “If Shao Tianze really murdered Gu Changge, then he won’t treat anyone well. Gu Changge gave birth two children for him, gave him status and the entire Gu’s. If he killed even such a people, will he treat Yunjia well?”

Song Yan frowns and says: “Shut up!”

Rebuked by his father, Song Yuanqiang stops his words.

Song Yan warns him: “How can you be sure that Shao Tianze murdered Gu Changge? You shouldn’t tell others about this without any evidence. The marriage between Shao Tianze and Yunjia is still possible. The Song Family will keep making the contract with Gu’s. As for Chu’s, what we should do is to keep a good relation with them superficially.”

“But Dad, we have to make a choice between Chu’s and Gu’s.”

Song Yan disagrees with him: “There is no firm relation in this business world. We always pick the side which fits us.”

Personally, he shows the partiality towards his eldest daughter Song Yunjia.

As for Song Yunxuan, she is just a tool for marriage.

.

If at that time, there was no need for a daughter who has a clear background from the Song Family to return, then Song Yunxuan would have no chance to come back from Qingcheng for a lifetime.

Song Yunqiang knows that his father places more importance on his sister Song Yunjia. As his father’s mind is determined, he does not say anything else.

Song Yunxuan starts jogging every morning. She gets up at six o’clock, runs five kilometers and comes back at about seven o’clock.

Song Yunqiang is very concerned about her and still sends people to watch her.

Seeing the newspaper inthe morning, she is surprised: “Why doesGu’s still allow the two people to talk nonsense after so many days?”

Song Yunqiang snorts: “There is a process of preparation for the fraud, and Shao Tianze just gets started. I guess that he hasn’t handled the relationship within Gu’s well. How can they band together to fight against others?”

Song Yunxuan similes: “I really don’t understand the things in this business circle. When Childe Chu took me out that night, he said that after we get married, he would want meto give birth to a baby for him. After I get married, I can’t take control of Venus. So, I need you to help me, brother.”

Song Yunqiang listens to her words, stops his action and looks up at Song Yunxuan who is smiling: “After you getting married, Venus will naturally be given back to Chu’s.”

Song Yunxuan shakes her head and places her hand with the wedding ring on the table: “Childe Chu said it is the wedding gift for me. I am the daughter of the Song Family. Of course, I am supposed to hand it to the Song Family after marrying Chu Mochen.”

Song Yunqiang hears the words and he is shocked a little.

But he doesn’t say anything more: “You have to keep a good relation with Childe Chu, so that you won’t be like your sister who married into another family and always has troubles.”

SongYunqiang refers to Song Yunying. Song Yunxuan frowns and asks him: “Big brother, sister has not returned for a few days, is it because brother-in-law has an affair?”

Chapter 64 Ruin Gu Changge’s reputation

When Shao Xue finishes dinner and wants to go back, it is already ten o’clock at night.

Shao Tianze has already made three calls.

The last call was made ten minutes ago. Shao Xue drinks some wine and she feels dizzy.

Shesteps outside supported by people. Xiao Hong does not drink too much. Seeing that Shao Xue is staggering, Xiao Hong pats her face: “Shao Xue, wake up.”

Shao Xue waves her hand: “I can drink more!”

Someone says: “Mrs. Xiao, Shao Xue is drunk.It is better to find someone to send her home. It’s too late now andnot safe for her to go back alone.”

When they are talking, there is a sound of car horn comes from the front.

Shao Xue notices the car and turns to look at it, only to find that the car is a bit familiar.

When she looks at it again, she sees a handsome man in a black long coat with gold-rimmed glasses getting out from the driver’s seat.

Then he frowns and rushes towards her.

Xiao Hong is a little shocked and immediately says: “Mr. Shao, why do you come here?”

“I called ShaoXue, but she has not been answering.”

While he is speaking to others, he reaches out to support Shao Xue who is going to stumble.

Xiao Hong smiles awkwardly: “I don’t know why, Shao Xue can’t stop drinking tonight from the beginning. We originallywant to celebrate her move to a new home. However, she has been drunkunexpectedly.”

Shao Tianze nods politely: “Thank you for taking care of her, I will send her home now. Be careful on your way home.”

Xiao Hong nods and watches Shao Tianze holding Shao Xue who is staggering get on the Mercedes-Benz car and then leave.

The female employees in the back are all green-eyed: “Why did we see so many golden bachelors tonight?”

“And they all have girlfriends.”

Xiao Hong listens to the discussion of these young people and sighs.

……

Shao Xue does drink a lot. She used to drink a little before, but this time she can’t help drinking a few more cups.

When Shao Tianze holds her out of the car, Shao Xue bends and starts to vomit, probably because of the jolt in the car which causes the motion sickness.

Shao Tianze frowns, and there is some coldness and helplessness on his handsome face.

After wiping her lips with tissue, he holds her to the house.

However, Shao Xue hasn’t calmed down yet. When she walks, she reaches out and shouts: “Come on! Let’s toast to invite the moon!

Sheis reaching out to the sky when she says that.

Shao Tianze is impatient and is going to pull her hand back. In the next second, Shao Xue cries: “Dad, Mom! I’d like to propose a toast to you! In the heaven, please bless me and my brother Tianze.”

Shao Tianze stops his hands for a little while. His eyes are gloomy: “Shao Xue, you are drunk. Be quiet. I will hold you upstairs.”

Hearing him talking and turning her head, she acts like she has just found him. She throws herself into his arms and cries like a childwho has been deserted: “Brother! Brother! Where have you been these years? Do you know that I have been looking for you for many years? Mom and Dad are dead! I am so scared… I am so scared!”

She cries heartbreakingly, and her voice almost penetrates the five-story building.

Hearing the sound, the servants at home come over to see what is happening.

Shao Tianze holds Shao Xue and gently pats her back: “Well, I am back.”

“Do you know? Do you know?” Shao Xue is patted by him, but she grabs the clothes on his chest. Her eyes are full of tears and she asks: “Brother, do you know? My parents are dead. They are dead, you know?”

Shao Tianze thinks that Shao Xue is drunk heavily.

Waving his hand, he lets the servants who come over go back first.

One of them refuses to go and asks him with concern: “Mr. Shao, Miss Shao Xue has begun to speak drunken talks. Please let me send her back to the room to rest.You go to see Miss Changle.”

Shao Tianze responds casually: “Shao Xue is drunk and you don’t know how to take care of her. I’ll take care of her on my own.”

The servant seeing that Shao Tianze is insistent, stops talking and goes out.

However, the servant doesn’t return to her room, but goes to Gu Changle’s room.

The servant says to her softly: “Mr. Shao insisted on taking care of Miss Shao Xue on his own, I…” Seeing her awkward appearance, Gu Changle frowns with a scary look and sweeps the hot milk to the ground.

The servant is shocked.

Gu Changle’s chest is undulating and her eyes are squinting. With a wicked look, she says: “Don’t be muzzy! Clean up the debris on the ground.”

Hearing her words, the servant stoops to pick up the pieces. But she accidentally breaks her fingers while tidying up and makes a low cry.

Gu Changle says coldly: “You are such a useless person.”

After saying that, she walks out with a sweater draping over her shoulders.

Shao Xue is heavily drunk. Supported by Shao Tianze, she refuses to go to bed after getting in the room. Instead, she grasps Shao Tianze’s sleeves tightly with her hands, and looks at Shao Tianze with eyes open. She asks him: “Brother. Brother, do you know how did my parents die?”

Shao Tianze sighs. There is no impatience, pity or mercy on his face.

ShaoXue glares at him, and he tries to appease her: “Lie down and have a rest. Your parents will rest in peace seeing that you live a good life.”

Shao Xue cries and shakes her head: “No, no. they won’t rest in peace. You don’t know. You haven’t seen it. When they died, their eyes were wide open. I helped them close but they didn’t want to.”

Shao Tianze stares fixedly at Shao Xue without saying a word. It seems that he wants to find something from Shao Xue’s eyes.

Being stared by him, Shao Xue’s eyes are filled with tears, and she stops speaking.

But the atmosphere becomes dangerous and serious.

Just like a leopard staring at a lamb, as long as it finds a loophole, it will tear the lamb into pieces.

When they are looking at each other, Shao Xue seems to have been fixed by Shao Tianze.

In the silence, ShaoXue’s phone suddenly rings.

Shao Tianze frowns and looks at the mobile phone of Shao Xue.

The light on the screen flashes. Shao Xue is shocked for a while and she looks at the phone.

But she just looks at it and seems to be anesthetized by alcohol. Even if the ring keeps ringing, she doesn’t want to answer it.

Shao Tianze picks up the phone, and soon there is a familiar female voice: “Shao Xue?”

Shao Tianze identifies the voice easily: “Shao Xue is drunk and has already rested. I am Shao Xue’s brother Shao Tianze.”

“Mr. Shao,” Song Yunxuan smiles slightly and apologizes, “I left a little early so I couldn’t take care of Shao Xue. Is she drunk?”

Shao Tianze looks at Shao Xue’s vacant eyes: “she is just a little dazed and is talking gibberish.”

Song Yunxuan asks him again: “Do you need me to visit her? She has been seeming unhappy recently.”

Shao Tianze declines: “No, Shao Xue has fallen asleep. After she wakes up, I will ask her to call you back.”

Song Yunxuan nods: “Sorry to trouble you to take care of Shao Xue.”

Shao Tianze nods and wishes her good night before putting the phone on the bedside table.

Shao Xueis still shedding tears without saying a word. Shao Tianze looks at her and touches her hair, comforting her: “Don’t cry. Although your parents are dead, I will take good care of you.”

Shao Xue looks up at him with tears and can’t say a word.

Outside the door, there is a slight footstep.

The tears in Shao Xue’s eyes continue to flow down. Shao Tianze tries to wipe the tears on her face. However, Shao Xue suddenly plunges into his arms and hugs his waist.

This action comes too suddenly, so Shao Tianze is shocked a little.

Gu Changle is standing outside the room. Her eyelids convulse and her hands can’t help clenching.

When Shao Tianze goes back to rest, it is already 11 o’clock in the evening. He is stained with smell of wine from Shao Xue.

Gu Changle sniffs, looks up and smiles softly in his arms. “Fortunately, you are carrying the smell of wine. If you are carrying a woman’s perfume, I will be crazy.”

Shao Tianze looks at her thoughtfully: “You ruined Han Rujia’s face because of this?”

GuChangle frowns and straightens up from his arms: “Are you blaming me?”

Shao Tianze shakes his head: “No.”

Gu Changle softens and snuggles up to his arms: “I haven’t been with any man for more than ten years. I only want to be with you, do you know how I feel?”

“I don’t like Han Rujia at all, so you don’t need to worry.”

Gu Changle whispers: “Ruining Han Rujia’s face was not worthless. At the very least, it let Gu Changge defeat Venus.”

“But now we have been bitten back because of things at that time.”

Gu Changle’s eyes are beautiful but a bit vicious: “Tianze, think about it. Everyone thinks that Gu Changge is a good woman, a legend in the commercial world, a good helper of her husband and a good mother. She is a perfect person when she comes into the public notice. However, today Yi Xiaoning and Han Rujia jointly testify against Gu’s. That will show the public that Gu Changge is actually a vicious woman with a good appearance.”

Shao Tianze gives a stare at GuChangle, who is smiling in his arms.

Gu Changle continues: “You can use this opportunity to expose the flipside of Gu Changge to everyone, so that the old shareholders of Gu’s will not use her to suppress you. Am I right?”

Shao Tianze grabs Gu Changge’s chin and forces her to look at him: “You want to ruin her reputation?”

Gu Changle says softly: “She is already dead. Once people are dead, there is nothing left. Reputation is useless to her.”

Shao Tianze loosens his fingers one by one, and Gu Changle hugs his waist: “Think carefully, Gu Changge has always been a selfish person. She has never thought about your feelings. Now you have taken over Gu’s. You can only get the position by completely overthrowing Gu Changge. You see, Yi Xiaoning and Han Rujia have showed up.It is a good opportunity to ruin the reputation of Gu Changge and let others see how venomous she is.”

Gu Changle says this and can’t help smiling. There is a lasting vicious light in her eyes.

Gu Changge was full of glory when she was alive. However, Gu Changle wants her to be notorious and despised by the public when she was dead!

Chapter 63 Shao Xue Treats Co-Workers to Dinner

The view in Gu’s Mansion is lovely.

However, Shao Xue has left there very early.

On the way back to the periodical office, she takes the initiative to call Song Yunxuan: “Gu Changle has agreed me to live in Gu’s Mansion.”

Song Yunxuan is drinking coffee at home when Shao Xue calls. Hearing what Shao Xue said, she lifts her mouth: “That’s unexpected.”

Shao Xue bites her lower lip, considering whether she should tell her what she has seen in Gu’s Mansion. But every time she wants to say it, she hesitates.

In the end, it is Song Yunxuan who brings up the topic: “The relationship between Miss Gu Changle and Chairman Shao is very close, isn’t it?”

Shao Xue nods awkwardly: “It is more complicated than we have thought.”

The look on Song Yunxuan’s face is still very calm: “You don’t have to worry about that. Gu Changle and Gu Changge are not real sisters. Even if Shao Tianze has a close relationship with Gu Changle, you don’t need to feel too sick about that.”

On the other side of the phone, Shao Xue can’t help clenching her fists. There is a hint of empathy in her eyes: “Although GuChangge is dead, if she knew that her adopted sister hooked up with her husband immediately, she must feel … very sad.”

Song Yunxuan’s eyes are full of gloominess: “More than that, she might be too furious to die.”

Song Yunxuan’s jesting tone surprises Shao Xue a little: “Yunxuan, do I really have to move to Gu’s Mansion and watch them display their affection every day?”

Song Yunxuan nods: “Yes, you need to know that he can live in Gu’s Mansion and have Gu’s now because he has killed your parents. In other words, he steps on your parents’ bones to get there.”

Shao Xue becomes silent. After a pretty long time, she says: “My parents won’t want him to step on other people’s bones to be successful.”

Song Yunxuan doesn’t respond to that. She hears Shao Xue add: “I will help my parents to teach Shao Tianze the lesson.”

Song Yunxuan squints. There is some lesson that people will not learn unless they are hurt severely.

Like Shao Tianze, he got Gu’s from her Gu Changge, but in the end he bore a deep hatred towards her. It was not enough for him to take everything away from her. He wanted her life as well.

She hated him so much that she can’t die peacefully.

Therefore, she wants to tell him that he can’t take precious things away from others as he wants.

……

When Shao Xue arrives at the office the next day, it’s already ten o’clock. Xiao Hong comes to greet her: “I heard that you moved.”

She nods: “Yes, I moved to my brother’s house.”

Xiao Hong admires: “The house of Chairman Shao of Gu’s across the street?”

Shao Xue nods: “Yes.”

In this way, the staff in the office express their congratulations to Shao Xue. The result is that Shao Xue is asked to take them to have a meal to celebrate.

Xiao Hong blames: “You are too tricky. When she moved in, you didn’t give presents to her. Now you are so shameless that you ask Shao Xue to pay for your dinner!”

Xiao Wang in the office jokes: “If she’s someone else, we may not ask. But she is Shao Xue! You see, Shao Xue’s cousin is not anyone but Shao Tianze—a pretty wealthy man!”

Holding her water cup and leaning against the wall, Xiao Tao next to him can’t help interrupting: “Chairman Shao is not an ordinary person. If we get along well with his cousin, we may get high salary to work for Gu’s across the street in the future.”

Xiao Hong scolds: “Now that you think in that way, how about packing up everything to apply for a job in Gu’s right now?”

The crowd bursts into laughter.

In the end, the staffs in the office decide to have dinner at a restaurant named Youranju on Furong Street, Tianqiao Road.

Thinking that it might cost her nearly a month’s salary, Shao Xue feels distressed. But the fact that so many colleagues are willing to accompany her cheers her up.

Since her parents died, she has not felt so happy for a long time.

Before setting off, someone in the office calls Song Yunxuan.

Song Yunxuan declines. But when they arrive at Furong Street, they suddenly find that Chu’s car is waiting for traffic lights there.

A person, presumably Gu’s driver, comes forward and asks them: “You people work for Fanxing Magazine?”

Xiao Hong nods: “Yes, you are?”

The man smiles: “Childe Chu told me to ask if Miss Yunxuan is going to have dinner with you tonight.”

The man who called Song Yunxuan before replies quickly: “Oh, Miss Song declined and said that there is something else to do today.”

Hearing his words, Xiao Hong can’t wait to tear up his mouth.

Song Yunxuan used to ask the staff not to tell other people that Fanxing Magazine belongs to her.

Seeing Xiao Hong get angry, the driver leaves quickly without asking more.

Seeing that driver get into the luxurious Rolls-Royce classic car, they start to wonder if the Chu Family’s only child, the legendary Childe Chu, is sitting there.

This question has been bothering them since then. When they arrive at the restaurant, they start to order food.

Xiao Hong is scolding that long-tongued employee: “No one will consider you are dumb even if you don’t talk. Will you talk before think it carefully?”

That employee looks upset.

Shao Xue next to Xiao Hong wants to comfort: “Childe Chu gets along well with Yunxuan. It might not cause trouble.

Xiao Hong hasn’t calmed down yet: “What if he has caused us trouble?”

Sitting by the window, they see a blue Porsche sports car driving near.

A young staff member who is fond of luxury sports car screams: “Look at the car! So cool!”

Staff who are a little older just take a glance at the car then turns back. Only those young girls who dream of marrying a rich man someday stare through the window.

The car stops. A man comes out of it.

Several women shake their heads and scream: “So handsome!”

“So mature!”

“So elegant!”

“So gentle!”

“Emm? The woman who is getting out of the car looks so familiar.”

That attracts Xiao Hong and Shao Xue’s attention. The two finally stand up and squeeze over to look at the woman outside the window.

She is wearing a skirt, a pair of black leather boots and a large red cashmere coat which is fashionable and lively. With her fair face and black hair, she looks charming and cute in such a cold day.

The man approaches to talk to her for a while. Then he holds her shoulders and kisses her eyebrows. After that, he watches her entering the main entrance of Youranju, the restaurant.

It takes them a while to react to what happened. Then someone asks in surprise: “That is Miss Song, right?”

Shao Xue and Xiao Hong nod: “Yes.”

As expected, only after dozens of seconds, a waiter opens the door and leads Song Yunxuan in.

“Miss Song, this way please.”

Song Yunxuan walks in.

All the employees in the room look at her with a confusing look.

Song Yunxuan smiles: “What happened, you don’t welcome me?”

Xiao Hong responds first: “Not at all, we long for you to come over.”

Shao Xue then pulls her to the main seat immediately: “Today it’s my treat. As you don’t have dinner with us a lot, you order first this time.”

Song Yunxuan is surrounded by the staff of the magazine soon. Frowning, she orders a few dishes on the menu. Then she looks up to the burning eyes of others: “Why do you look at me like you are going to eat me?”

One employee who is about the same age as Shao Xue smiles: “Boss, the man who sent you here…”

“That’s my fiancé.”

Although her voice is not loud, everyone hears it clearly.

A few young employees present a heart-broken look. While they are feeling jealous about that, they make up their minds to find a handsome man to marry too.

This meal ends earlier than they think. Shao Xue and Xiao Hong sit on the left and right sides of Song Yunxuan respectively.

When they are talking, other employees have already started to discuss some insignificant things. It is until Song Yunxuan leaves that these employees finally bring up the main topic—to congratulate that Shao Xue has moved into Gu’s Mansion.

When Song Yunxuan leaves, she gives Shao Xue a red envelope containing money inside. Song Yunxuan smiles gently: “Congratulations on moving in a new house.”

“Yunxuan, I can’t receive your red envelope, please …”

“Keep it.”

Song Yunxuan doesn’t give her the chance to refuse. After saying goodbye to others, she leaves.

This seaside city encountered cold front a few days ago. It has become cold these days.

When Song Yunxuan walks out, the air she exhales becomes white. She puts her hands before her mouth in order to defend the cold.

Suddenly someone hugs her from behind.

The man wraps her in his coat and says gently: “I thought that you would stay there for a while longer.”

Song Yunxuan replies without raising her head: “You have been waiting for me outside. I can’t let you wait too long”

“I won’t mind. If it’s late, you can stay at my house tonight.”

Song Yunxuan shakes her head: “Thanks, but no.”

Hearing she rejects it, and seeing that she being wrapped in his coat without moving, Chu Mochen raises his mouth and gently kisses her ear.

Song Yunxuan wants to avoid the kiss because she knows that this man is going to do some other things.

However, the man doesn’t do anything more but just asks suddenly: “Do you think it is going to snow this winter?”

Recalling that it only snows in Yuncheng every seven or eight years, Song Yunxuan replies: “Probably won’t.”

Chu Mochen holds her in his arms and looks up at the black sky: “If it snows, let me take you to eat hot and spicy Chaoshou, will you?”

Song Yunxuan’s heart stops beating for a second and she recalls the scene that she has almost forgets.

That year she was sixteen. The Gu Family and the Chu Family collaborated for the first time. It was a very cold winter and it was snowing.

Chu Mochen represented the Chu Family to sign the contract. After they exchanged the contract, they shook hands out of courtesy.

When she was just about to leave, Chu Mochen suddenly asked: “I heard Xima Bay’s hot and spicy Chaoshou tastes good, do you want to have a try?”

Gu Changge, who is young but mature at that time, declined without hesitation. She never ate at that place. She replied: “I have already booked a restaurant called Babaorou at Chang’an Street.”

The implication was that she didn’t want to eat the roadside food.

There was a hint of disappointment in Chu Mochen’s eyes.

Now she rethinks about it. It seems that at that young age, she had already been blinded by money.

But as for Chu Mochen, he hasn’t lost himself. He knows that there is something else besides money in this world.

Chapter 61 He kisses Gu Changle

The reporters point their cameras at Shao Tianze.

The different symbols on their microphones show that the reporters are from different websites, TV stations and news programs.

Shao Xue is pushed away a little from Shao Tianze. When Shao Xue is about to be pushed farther away from Shao Tianze by reporters, Shao Tianze suddenly stretches out his arm, pulls Shao Xue back to his chest and says: “Everybody, as for the matter of Venus and Gu’s, I will ask Gu’s legal representative to answer your questions. Please let me pass, I am in a hurry.”

He says that without any anxiety or anger but in a calm and peaceful way.

Song Yunxuan, who is watching them in the live broadcast in front of the TV, has a hint of coldness in her eyes.

Shao Tianze is an excellent man. Although he started to get in touch with the business circle after graduating from college, he is smart enough to live up to the title of academic prodigy in medical school.

He is calm at all times. Even when someone is holding a knife and pointing at his back behind him, he will be levelheaded and figure out how to get out of it.

It was because of this calmness that he finally succeeded in having the whole property of the Gu Family and getting down to operate the Gu family’s industry in no time.

However, he is too ambitious. His way of dealing things is rather cruel because he wants to get things done once and for all.

Therefore, he killed Gu Changge.

Because of that, he Shao Tianze will not have a good ending.

Because she Gu Changge will not allow it.

Seeing Shao Tianze who is surrounded by reporters want to get out, Song Yunxuan lifts one corner of her mouth. She turns on the newly bought phone and gives Mrs. Xiao a call: “Tell the reporter of your newspaper that the girl is the focus.”

The person on the other side of the phone answers and Song Yunxuan hangs up.

She lifting up her head and looking at the TV, there is some viciousness in her eyes.

As expected, within thirty seconds, a young female reporter holding a microphone rushes into the crowd and gets in the way of Shao Tianze on the live broadcast. The reporter’s words are extremely blunt and come straight to the topic of Shao Xue: “Mr. Shao, who is this beautiful girl besides you?”

Shao Tianze answers: “This is my…”

“Is she your new lover?” Shao Tianze’s words even not finished, someone immediately interrupts. “Mr. Shao, could you please explain it? It’s rumored that you are deep in love with your deceased wife. May I ask your how does this girl come to you so soon? What’s going on?”

“Mr. Shao, could you explain?”

With a little sulkiness in his eyes, Shao Tianze says: “This is my younger sister!”

“But Mr. Shao, Gu’s chairman Gu Changge, your wife, has announced previously that you have no younger sister. How does she relate to you, a cousin or a younger sister without blood relationship?”

A cousin is still a normal guess, but a younger sister without blood relationship inevitably makes people have some other speculations.

Being guided by the two reporters who are questioning, other reporters around them change their focus on the girl.

Since the commercial grudges between Gu’s Tianxiang Salon and Venus are not answered directly by Shao Tianze, journalists inevitably choose to take another path to get some valuable news.

It doesn’t matter if it is a gossip as long as they don’t come back empty-handed.

The reporters’ flashing lights shine, vying with one another. Shao Xue raises her hand to cover her eyes. She can’t help withdrawing behind Shao Tianze.

It’s unsurprising that she has never been into such a situation-being photographed by so many people. She feels that her eyes are almost shone to blind.

Shao Tianze, who is sort of annoyed, pulls Shao Xue behind him to protect her.

The secretary next to Shao Tianze is a little anxious. Seeing the anger in Shao Tianze’s eyes, he stretches out his hands and stands in front of Shao Tianze to stop those reporters who are going to chase Shao Tianze upstairs. “Everybody, everybody, I am going to answer your questions.”

The reporters are not interested in the secretary. They want to follow Shao Tianze upstairs.

Those bodyguards who guards Shao Tianze are also unable to make these reporters stop. The secretary explains desperately: “Please listen to me, the girl next to Chairman Shao is indeed his sister. She is Chairman Shao’s cousin, who had been abroad before and just returned home.”

To some degree, the information made up by the secretary dampens the reporters’ enthusiasm.

However, in the spirit of entertainment and gossip, even if people have gotten the explanation from the secretary now, it can’t be avoided that someone will report that Shao Tianze has a new lover less than half a year after his wife’s death immediately or tomorrow.

Shao Tianze and Shao Xue make some effort to get into the elevator. The accompanying secretary and bodyguards are blocked outside by the crowd.

The elevator rises slowly. Shao Xue is still in a state of shock: “Big brother, why these reporters are… so… fierce?”

Shao Tianze smooths his clothes and answers in an apathetic tone: “They make a living by this. That’s why they are so annoying.”

Gu’s and Chu’s are the two rich and powerful families inYuncheng. The former has been headed by a woman over ten years, and the latter’s chairman is the only son of Chu’s, who will undoubtedly inherit all assets of the Chu family.

The reporters are obsessed with the idea that after the death of Gu’s chairwoman, whether her husband will find another new lover.

They also pay extra attention to the latter, wanting to know that what an excellent woman would marry Childe Chu, this pretty wealthy man.

As for the latter, it seems that things have been settled. He is going to marry the youngest daughter of the Song Family. While the former, he has been given close attention all the time.

Because when an affectionate man who has just lost his wife falls in love with another woman, the public will criticize him severely.

Shao Tianze knows the truth deeply, so he lives alone, pretending to be an ascetic person.

Except some families suspect that his relationship with Gu Changle’s sister Gu Changle is not simple, there is basically no rumors about him.

The elevator keeps rising. When it arrives at the floor where Gu Changle’s ward is on, it jingles and the door opens.

There is Song Yunjia standing outside, who is slightly flurried.

Song Yunjia has shoulder-length long straight hair. She seems anxious and worried. As soon as she catches sight of Shao Tianze, she smiles in relief.

But the smile doesn’t last very long before it disappears on her face. The reason is that beside Shao Tianze there is a girl who is much younger than her, fair and beautiful.

Song Yunjia looks awkward for a while.

Shao Tianze comes out of the elevator and apologizes: “I was surrounded by the reporters in the hall. How about Changle? Have you packed up?”

Song Yunjia stares at Shao Xue: “Who is she?”

The look on her face is exactly the same as that of a wife seeing the lover of her husband.

Shao Tianze smiles involuntarily: “Yunjia, let me introduce for you.”

Song Yunjia is upset. Her beautiful eyes fix on Shao Xue like some sharp nails.

Shao Xue is still wearing Shao Tianze’s cashmere jacket. It is specially made abroad. Song Yunjia gave it to Shao Tianze as a present.

Song Yunjia doesn’t wait Shao Tianze to continue but asks: “Why is she wearing your jacket?”

Shao Tianze is a bit surprised, and then he smiles and explains: “Yunjia, this is my cousin called Shao Xue.”

Probably because his secretary fabricated the relationship for him, Shao Tianze subconsciously intends to use it.

Anyway, he can’t tell her or anyone Shao Xue’s true identity and that in fact, he, Shao Tianze is not a member of a big family in Haicheng, but an orphan from a small town.

Shao Xue looks at Shao Tianze and feels awkward.

Shao Tianze introduces for her: “This is my friend, the doctor of Changle, Song Yunjia.”

Hearing that her name is similar to that of Song Yunxuan, she feels startled slightly. Then she smilesand calls her “sister Yunjia”.

Song Yunjia knowing that Shao Xue is Shao Tianze’s sister, her face becomes brighter.

She is back to normal now. She leads Shao Tianze to go forward and tells him Gu Changle’s condition while walking: “Changle has almost recovered. I gave her various checks yesterday. It seemed that anti-rejection drugs had worked well. The heart of Changge adapts well to the body of Changle.”

Shao Tianze nods.

Song Yunjia is proud of that: “I said the heart of Changge would be suitable for transplanting to Changle. You didn’t believe it. Now that Changle has recovered well, shouldn’t I take credit for that?”

Shao Tianze’s eyes are brooding: “I really didn’t think that the heart of Changge would be suitable for Changle since they are not biological sisters.”

Song Yunjia shakes her head and explains smilingly: “Medical science is a wonderful thing. You have been studying medicine for so many years. You must have seen many miracles in medical history. Maybe the heart of Changge exists to save Changle. Otherwise, why didn’t Changge die immediately in the car accident?”

Shao Tianze looks calm, but there is a deep gloominess appearing at the bottom of his eyes unnoticeably: “Changge is a tough woman.”

Song Yunjia does not agree: “She is dead now.”

Shao Tianze’s stops walking for a moment. It seems that his heart suffers premature beat at that moment and then recovers.

The three of them walk together towards Gu Changle’s ward. Song Yunjia walks side by side with Shao Tianze. It is rare that she actually enjoys it.

However, Shao Xue behind them is a little confused. She lowers her eyes and thinks: “The heart of Gu Changge is very fit for Gu Changle?”

“Gu Changle and Gu Changge are not biological sisters?”

While she is thinking, the front door clicks and opens.

Shao Tianze enters into the room first. There is a soft female voice: “Tianze?”

The voice is as soft as notes played by piano, as pleasant as the river in spring.

Shao Xue feels surprised for a while then enters into the room.

Gu Changle inside has already changed the patient clothes and got dressed.

She is twenty-nine years old. However, you can’t see it from her face at all. Instead, she is as charming as a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old.

Shao Xue stands there and feels astonished when she sees that Shao Tianze holds GuChangge, who is blushed, in his arm and kisses her forehand

He asks her with concern: “Do you feel happy to be discharged today?”

Gu Changle’s long eyelashes are like black fine feathers. She looks at Shao Tianze’s face and her beautiful face beams with an attractive smile: “Yes, very happy, can I kiss you?”

Shao Tianze holds her chin and takes the initiative to kiss her.

Shao Xue, for a moment, feels that she is struck by the thunder.

Shao Tianze… kissed his wife’s sister?

Chapter 59: The Song Family Chooses Team

Throughout Yuncheng, it is well known that only Chu has the power to compete with Gu’s enterprises.

Towards Song Yunxuan’s question, Song Yunqiang simply does not hide: “Yunxuan, you know, Chu’s ability is similar to Gu’s, and Chu Mochen is just the person who bought Venus. If one wants to make Venus rise again, he must rehabilitate it first.”

Song Yunxuan pretends to be confused: “But Venus is now mine.”

Song Yunqiang is amused: “Childe Chu gave you Venus only as a show for the public. It is impossible for you at such a young age with little experience to prosper Venus. Of course, Childe Chu would not watch Venus dying in your hand. So, he helped you secretly.”

Song Yunxuan feels it incredible, frowning and looking at Song Yunqiang in horror. “If that’s the case, don’t you have to choose between Gu and Chu to have cooperation with?”

Song Yunqiang nods sadly: “That’s why I am distressed.”

Song Yunxuan’s voice becomes a little lower: “Sorry, elder brother, for I having a relationship with Childe Chu that makes elder brother so embarrassed.”

Song Yunqiang shakes his head: “You think a lot, Yunxuan. Even if our father hopes that Yunjia may marry Shao Tianze, but their marriage is not something that can be settled overnight.”

“But…” Song Yunxuan retorts, “if I have nothing to do with Childe Chu, the Song family can cooperate with Gu family and give up Chu family. Maybe Shao Tianze will change his mind and marry my elder sister.”

Song Yunqiang sneers: “I heard that Gu Changle, Gu Changge’s sister, has a good relationship with Shao Tianze… Whether he can marry Yunjia or not depends on Changle.

Song Yunxuan is puzzled: “Gu Changle? Haven’t you said that she is just Gu Changge’s sister in law? If her brother in law wants to marry someone, does he still need her permission?”

Song Yunqiang takes a sip of water, and his expression is cold: “The fact may not be what you’re thinking. Gu Changle and Gu Changge share no kinship at all. Gu Changle was brought back from the orphanage by Gu Changge’s father. I heard from the hospital that Shao Tianze has an affair with Gu Changle.”

Then Song Yunqiang stops gossiping about their relationship.

But from Song Yunqiang’s words, Song Yunxuan hears the implication.

Song Yunqiang wants to become a member of Chu Mochen’s team because he thinks that his younger sister will marry Chu successfully, while he regards the older sister marrying into the Gu family as an unreal illusion.

After eating the fruit after dinner, Song Yunxuan has a chat with his eldest brother again. And then she goes upstairs to get washed up in a confused manner.

She doesn’t need to be too smart in front of her eldest brother, or even consult him about any action to interfere with the family.

She just needs to be in the dark, guiding the Song family little by little.

Yes, she does not want the Song family to stand by the Gu family.

As for those who support the Gu family, to be more precise, who are Shao Tianze’s subordinates, she will make them all pledge loyalty to herself.

Let Shao Tianze finally become alone.

After 48 hours of speculation and criticism from its competitors, Gu’s holds a press conference at 8 a.m. on the third day.

At a press conference, a well-known corporate entity is entrusted to claim that Gu has been defamed and to prosecute the two people who defame Gu’s.

If the two consumers do not apologize to Gu’s Tianxiang salon within 72 hours, they will get sued.

For a while, there are a lot of talks in the beauty industry.

Shao Tianze, who controls the whole Gu family, after looking through all the remains of Gu Changge and the documents she had handled, and finds out in distress that none of the documents are about Yi Xiaoning and Han Rujia.

Standing in front of his desk, he scans through the last few unseen documents line by line.

Then he throws the papers aside and sits down behind the sandalwood desk.

“Gu Changge, as a matter of fact, never leaks her secrets.”

Even her husband can’t find any information about it.

If Gu Changge had deleted all her secrets, then, where did the two consumers who accused Tianxiang salon of framing Venus get their papers?

Shao Tianze makes a phone call to Gu Changle. She thinks about it before replying, “You have been sleeping with her for so many years, don’t you know her habits?”

“What habits?”

Gu Changle opens her mouth: “I also overheard that my elder sister is a person who likes doubting. Her confidential information is kept by the international confidentiality agencies of the Rong family. So, might the case about Yi Xiaoning and Han Rujia also be filed into that agency?”

The Rong family is not strange for superior business families. It is a family that keeps secrets for generations as a service for others.

Now, this century-old family has passed down to the third generation.

It is heard that the fourth generation only has a 17-year-old boy.

On hearing Gu Changle’s words, Shao Tianze has a plan in mind: “I’ll contact the Rong family.”

Gu Changle makes a sound of agreement, then gently opens her mouth: “I’m recovering very well, Dr. Wang said, I could be discharged tomorrow. Are you coming to pick me up?”

“Of course, you have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow, I want to see your healthy appearance.”

Gu Changle responds shyly, then hangs up the phone.

No sooner than Shao Tianze sends someone to check the Rong family’s information does he get the number.

Only when the servant gives him the number, he says, “Chairman Shao, Childe Rong has a close relationship with Chu Mochen.”

When Shao Tianze hears this, his heart trembles slightly. But he nods his head with a peaceful expression on his face. Then he asks the servant to go out and makes a phone call to Rong Six alone.

Rong Six picks up the phone very soon as if he has expected that he would call. He says with a smile, “Sir, do you need Rong’s service? As long as it respects other people’s privacy and the rules of the Rong family, I can help you solve it.”

Rong Six knows that it is Shao Tianze on the other end of the phone. Because the Rong family’s confidential agencies are all over the world, they clearly know the private mobile phone numbers of high-level business people in Yuncheng.

Shao Tianze wants to talk straight: “Mr. Rong, I am Shao Tianze of the Gu family.”

“Gu’s?”

The other end of the phone repeats it, and then suddenly asks, “Why doesn’t Gu Changge call me in person?”

Shao Tianze won’t know that Rong Six winks at Chu Mochen beside him after he has finished that question.

With a poker face, Chu Mochen takes a sip of the black coffee in a bone china cup.

Shao Tianze hesitates for a moment before he says, “Gu Changge was my wife. She died three months ago.”

“Dead?” Rong Six’s tone and voice are very exaggerated as if he was Gu Changge’s good companion who was unaware of her death at all.

Shao Tianze nods: “That’s it.”

“That’s a pity, Mr. Shao. May she rest in peace.” Rong Six’s voice obviously becomes a little gloomy.

Shao Tianze asks for the information he needs step by step: “My wife had a close relationship with your company in her lifetime. I hope you can decrypt my wife’s confidential information stored in your company and show them to me.”

Rong Six grins quietly on the other end. Covering the microphone, he talks to Chu Mochen: “Shao Tianze really comes for the documents of Changge during her lifetime.”

Chu Mochen raises his head and stares at Rongliu calmly.

Rong Six seems to have been frozen by the chilliness in his eyes. He coughs immediately and answers the phone, “Mr. Shao. I’m really sorry. According to the rules, if one is not the person whom the secret files belong to, he has no right to access them. Thank you for informing me that Gu Changge has passed away. I will send someone to destroy all her confidential documents in accordance with the procedure immediately. ”

Rong Six’s answer is so fluent that it seems like he has practiced it for dozens of times.

Now that’s all, Shao Tianze just feels the muscle on his fingertips tightened.

Then, Rong Six politely says goodbye and hangs up the phone.

But Shao Tianze holds the phone in his hands.

He only feels that the whole world is against him. Even though Gu Changge is dead, she still shrouds him like a huge shadow, blocking his sunshine, making him suffocating and putting him in the darkness.

The temperature of his fingertips drops slightly until he turns around and looks out of the window at the sky.

He steps the whole Gu’s under his feet, yet the confidential information of it is still like the fruit covered by hard crust.

He can see it but still unable to taste it.

It takes him quite a while to put down his cell phone in which there is no sound.

He squints his eyes and droops his eyelashes. “Gu Changge, you are more calculating than I thought.”

In fact, Gu Changge is not more calculating, but just taking precautions.

She is the only one who knows everything about herself.

Even towards her husband, she still remains a little privacy.

It is just this secret that makes Shao Tianze stumble over.

On the following day, all the media companies in Yuncheng pays closer attention to Gu Changge. And they question Shao Tianze because Gu’s violation of their routine that they should have suppressed their negative news in three days.

All newspapers are doing a comparison between Gu Changge and Shao Tianze. One showed her perfect and sophisticated skills when she was in charge of the Gu’s, while the other just fumbles around, feeling confused when he has taken office.

Gu’s holds a small meeting inside the company in which the participators are several old shareholders who know something about the disfigurement accident at that time.

They bluntly admit: “Chairman Shao, chairman Gu did it in her lifetime, and the evidence provided by Yi Xiaoning is true.”

Shao Tianze sits on the chair at the conference table and sneers, “Manager Liu, do you know what you are talking about?”

There are many wrinkles on his face. And the hair has also turned grey at his temples. He had been following Gu Changge since she became a member of the Gu’s. Now, although Shao Tianze wants to get rid of him as the old followers of his predecessor, he has not found any right excuse.

Manager Liu nods: “Chairman Shao, I know what I’m talking about, but now if you want to protect Tianxiang salon and try to recover its loss, you should not focus on my grammatical mistakes, but think about how to shut the mouths of the two people who are charging against Gu’s.”

Finally, the man adds a sentence: “If Chairman Gu is alive, she will do it.”

Shao Tianze’s face becomes gloomy for a moment.

He has been living in the shadow of Gu Changge.

All the time, he has been suppressed by Gu Changge.

Shit!
