Chapter 58: Suspicion of Chu

“Quanshou, Juying, Meihu, Haijiao, Jiongtu.” the secretary lists all the Internet forums that refuse to retreat the relevant information about Gu’s defamation of its peers from their home page.

Shao Tianze’s voice is cold without any trace of anxiety: “Find some hackers.”

Indeed, at this time, if the other parties won’t friendly withdraw the information or delete them, Gu’s has to employ hackers.

The secretary’s face is even grimmer: “They have good firewalls. The hacker group we used to employ is now working for the Chu family, so they just politely decline our request.”

On hearing the secretary’s words, Shao Tianze’s handsome face becomes cold: “Which website first uploaded content?”

After thinking about it, the Secretary says, “Chairman Shao, several large forums started to upload at the same time. There is no order of it. And once the information got uploaded, it would get high-frequency clicks immediately. Within an hour, it had reached 100 million clicks.”

When the Secretary says this, Shao Tianze’s eyes glow dimly. He says in a sharp and cold voice: “Such a high click volume is abnormal, there must be someone manipulating behind the scene.”

The secretary also agrees with what Shao Tianze has said: “Chairman Shao, what do you think we should do now?”

Shao Tianze is sitting in a chair with a somber face in a moderate manner. He is really familiar with Gu Changge’s way of dealing with company affairs since they had been married for many years. And he is also a smart man who learns a lot from Gu Changge, a business genius.

The secretary is worried: “Chairman Shao, if we don’t stop the fast dissemination of the public opinion now, it will have a considerable impact on Gu’s reputation.”

Shao Tianze raises his head and looks at the Secretary coldly. “It’s not that bad as you think. Tianxiang salon is just a small industry under Gu’s control. It can’t represent Gu’s as a whole. Even if we abandon the Tianxiang salon now, it won’t have a great influence on Gu’s reputation.”

“But…” The secretary is in a dilemma. “But the turnover of Tianxiang salon is very considerable. Chairman Gu attached great importance to Tianxiang Beauty in her lifetime. Chairman Shao, would it be appropriate if you abandon it in such a casual way?”

The secretary is doubtful and uncertain about Shao Tianze’s abandonment of Tianxiang salon.

Shao Tianze’s face is tightened up little by little. His soft and beautiful face turns cold and solemn.

Looking at his eyes behind the glasses, the secretary feels that he has said something wrong: “Mr. Shao, I didn’t mean to mention that just now. Don’t be so sad.”

Shao Tianze’s left-hand finger has been clenched into a fist which hangs naturally on his side. Because his left hand is not on the table, the Secretary can’t see the movements of his hands.

Otherwise, the secretary would know how hard Shao Tianze’s clenched when he mentioned the word “Chairman Gu”. For a moment, his pale hands had clear bulging green veins on the back.

The secretary is cautious.

Shao Tianze still says with a peaceful tone: “Tianxiang salon is not only Changge’s industry but also Gu’s inseparable industry. I certainly will not give it up because of some public gossip.”

The secretary nods and says nothing more.

Finding his nervousness, Shao Tianze tells him to go out and continue his work: “Since the websites refuse to withdraw this matter from their home page, we’d better keep silent first. Sometimes, some things need not be explained urgently, otherwise, they will be more and more obscure.”

The secretary nods modestly: “Yes, Chairman Shao.”

After the secretary goes out, Shao Tianze squints bitterly.

The clenched fingers are loosened one by one, but his chin is tight, and his face is not as soft as usual.

He always repeats that word—Chairman Gu…

Although Gu Changge is dead, these are people still remembering her.

Why?

Just because Gu Changge is surnamed Gu, the original owner of Gu’s?

Shao Tianze sneers and undoes his fist finger by finger. With his hands placed on the table, he looks at the picture of Gu Changge on the desk and shakes his head. “Gu Changge, you are dead. Why should these people still remember you?”

Gu Changge in the photo is still young, around 26 years old. She is beautiful and elegant. She is as white as a floating cloud in the sky which can’t be stained.

With his slender white fingers, he rubs the photo as gentle as touching the woman’s cheeks. But his words are cold and ruthless: “Changge, don’t be too proud. Even if all staff of Gu’s remember you, it can’t prevent them from following my surname, Shao, from now on.”

The woman in the picture still smiles.

Shao Tianze feels that the woman seems to be laughing at his arrogance, satirizing his incompetence. And he could not help but throw the picture frame in the air.

A snap.

The crystal frame falls to the ground, and the fragments split the woman’s smile in the picture.

He smiles, with bitter coldness and hatred in his eyes.

The secretary outside hears a noise in the office and phones him anxiously. “What’s wrong, Mr. Shao?”

“I just accidentally broke something, come in and clean it up.”

The Secretary quickly comes in from the outside and cleans up the debris. But when he hands the photo to Shao Tianze, Shao Tianze takes a glance at the person on it and then put it in between the pages of an unimportant book.

After the secretary goes out, he throws the book into a trash can, “Changge, it’s time for you to leave Gu’s.”

Like this photo which should no longer appear on the chairman’s desk.

Because you are no longer the chairman of Gu’s board.

Gu’s does not belong to you anymore.

On this noisy day of the Gu family, Song Yunxuan is extremely calm.

It was only in the afternoon when Shao Xue suddenly makes a phone call to her.

Shao Xue’s voice comes from the other end of the telephone, very clearly,

“Yunxuan, will you come to Fanxing in these days?”

“It depends.” the guys sent by Song Yunqiang and the Song Yan still stick to their posts.

At this time, Gu’s is criticized by the public. She’d better stay in the Song family, going nowhere in order to keep herself away from the fire and let people think that Venus is indeed handed over to a brainy woman.

Shao Xue nods before whispering, “My brother let me move to live with the Gu family.”

Song Yunxuan’s eyelids rise in surprise, and the blood on her fingertips stagnates slightly.

On the phone, she just pauses and calmly responds, “Listen to him and get along well with them after moving in.”

After Shao Xue agrees, Song Yunxuan hangs up, saying nothing more.

Just after the phone is hung up, she couldn’t help opening her lips coldly: “That’s my home.”

The Gu family belongs to her, Gu Changge. But now, Shao Tianze should totally regard the whole Gu family as his own possession.

The fact that he let Shao Xue live in the Gu family is exactly what she wants.

However, she had thought that such an ambitious man as Shao Tianze would ponder carefully before letting his sister live next to him, but hadn’t anticipated that Shao Xue was so trusted by him.

It seems that this movement is right.

But what will the envious Gu Changle think when Shao Xue lives in?

At the thought of her sister who pretended to be meek for more than twenty years, she can’t help but show a despising expression in her eyes.

At dinner time, Song Yunqiang comes back from the outside with sweat all over his head.

The servant takes his coat off, and Song Yunqiang urgently asks, “Where is Yunxuan?”

The servant replies in a low voice, “Miss Yunxuan has been at home and has not gone anywhere.”

In surprise, Song Yunqiang goes upstairs to find Song Yan.

Song Yunxuan withdraws that expression in her eyes and continues to eat.

It seems that such an event on Gu’s also has an impact on the Song family.

She is right that the scandal on the Gu family does also influence the Song family.

Not until the fruit is served does Song Yunqiang changes his clothes and comes downstairs to have his meal.

Song Yunxuan asks him curiously, “Brother, when you came back just now, you were sweating all over your head. What happened?”

Sitting in his chair, Song Yunqiang frowns: “Gu’s beauty industry has been slandered. Gu’s stock profits will plummet these days. I wonder whether I should withdraw from Gu’s capital at the next project.”

Although the Song family’s strength is very different from that of Gu family, they also cooperate in some projects.

For example, Gu’s has just set foot in a piece of land in the eastern suburbs of Yuncheng, and signed a cooperation contract with the Song family after taking it.

After Song Yunqiang says this, Song Yunxuan chooses to remain silent for the time being.

She led Gu’s through more than ten years when she was in the company. Over these ten years, she saw the ups and downs of many enterprises from the beginning to the end.

Now Gu’s is suffering a crisis. And what has been slandered is Tianxiang salon. Naturally, what comes first to people’s minds is that it is set up by its competitor, the people in the same profession.

And Venus is the first one to be suspected.

Song Yunqiang is very unhappy: “I was going to ask Dad about this. But Dad’s condition is not very good, so he let me handle it by myself.”

On hearing this sentence, Song Yunxuan understands that Song Yan just wants to test his son’s ability to hustle in the business circle.

She ponders for a moment, then she opens her mouth and continues to ask him, “What do you want to do with that, big brother?”

Song Yunqiang also talks explicitly. But he looks at her, feeling strange. “Although the Gu family is big, the fact that Tianxiang Beauty uses consumers to slander Venus is indeed evident. According to the current situation, within a few days, Gu’s reputation will be seriously damaged. If it is true, there will be lawsuits against the Gu’s.”

Song Yunqiang takes a sip of the thin soup served in front of him. Then he continues, “The Song family and the Gu family just began their cooperation several months ago. I think Shao Tianze’s appointment is not stable. There is no need for the Song family to continue to cooperate with him, otherwise, we may suffer losses.”

Song Yunxuan pretends to be doubtful: “Brother, if something happens on the Gu family, why will we suffer?”

Song Yunqiang sighs: “Yunxuan, this is definitely not an accident. Some people show up to fight against Gu’s out of what they had done two years ago. Probably, someone wants to knock Shao Tianze down.”

Song Yunxuan’s eyebrows stretch at ease: “Who does brother think should be the one?”

Song Yunqiang frowns and wants to say something. But when he looks at Song Yunxuan’s face, he holds his words back.

“Brother, you can say anything to me. I will keep it a secret.”

Song Yunqiang frowns, and his expression is complex: “The information gets spread so fast. And many websites have put the message on their home page for more than 24 hours. All these symptoms can’t be done without the support of the Gu’s competitor.”

It suddenly dawns on Song Yunxuan, “Brother, are you suspecting the Chu’s?”

Chapter 56: It’s Just the Beginning

Song Yunxuan’s smile on her lips is relaxed and happy.

But no one perceives it.

Chu Mochen looks slightly sideways at her sleeping on her side, with some emotions frozen deep in his eyes.

Song Yunxuan did better than he had imagined, and she did it as quick as a flash.

Song Yunxuan has breakfast in the restaurant before being sent back home by Chu Mochen.

This time in the car, instead of keeping a poker face silently, she looks ahead all the way.

Chu Mochen observes her carefully, and finds her eyes twinkling with pleasure and happiness appearing on her eyebrows.

Her smile is like a white rose in the early morning. Although it is beautiful and pale, it is clean, light and fierce.

Chu Mochen grabs her wrist when she is about to get off the car.

Song Yunxuan looks down at his finger with which he is holding her wrist, then looks up in his eyes: “What’s wrong?”

“You seem to be in a good mood.” Chu Mochen looks at her.

Song Yunxuan thinks about it for a moment and does not deny it.

“Don’t you show any gratitude to me?”

It is all his credit that she was able to sneak out of the sight of those who followed her last night.

Song Yunxuan understands what he means, but does not obediently kiss him, or thank him.

She just takes his finger off her wrist with the other hand: “I’m not used to being blackmailed. I can give it to you on my own initiative, but you can’t ask for it.”

Chu Mochen’s fingers are removed from her wrist. She strides away smartly like a breeze.

Chu Mochen laughs helplessly, shakes his head and drives away.

Song Yunxuan is arrogant and stubborn, which even makes ordinary men feel her unacceptable.

But the main reason why men find it difficult to accept her is that this woman can’t be perfectly mastered.

Man has a primitive desire to conquer, especially to make a woman submit to him.

And Song Yunxuan can just arouse the conquest desire of men.

She is like a graceful noble cat of charm. But she will never wear away her internal sharp spines and blades.

Because of this, many people have to let go of her.

But Chu Mochen doesn’t want to give up that easy.

In his opinion, the wild and proud kitten is no more than a young cat after all.

No matter how sharp its claws are, they can’t resist lions and cheetahs.

He will capture her body as well as her heart, and possess her completely.

When Song Yunxuan returns home, Song Yunying is going bananas.

Song Yunxuan just comes in and hears a crash of jade ornament.

With a chilly face, she faintly looks at the woman with tousled hair in the living room.

The woman does not notice her, but only hysterically shouts “Xue Tao, bastard! How dare he hook up with that kind of bitch behind my back! ”

Song Yunxuan doesn’t care about it. Looking at the broken jade ornaments on the ground, she doesn’t show any pity.

On the contrary, when Song Yunying madly picks up the next blue and white porcelain vase of Yuan Dynasty next to her in order to throw it on the ground, she says, “Sister, look at the price of the things you’re going to break. This is the treasure that our brother just bought from Christie’s auction which costs him more than 10 million yuan. Can Xue Tao be worth this price?”

Song Yunying pauses her hands and looks back fiercely at Song Yunxuan.

Song Yunxuan holds still at the place where she stands.

It just happens that the door on the second floor opens.

Song Yunying doesn’t pay attention to it, but scolds, ” You’re a little bitch born of a third-rate star. What do you mean? Xue Tao, he…”

“He’s not worth more than this vase.”

A low voice comes from the second floor.

Song Yunying is stunned. A faint smile rises on Song Yunxuan’s lips as she looks up at Song Yan, who is in his wheelchair steered out by Song Yunqiang on the second floor.

Song Yan’s face is serious and cold. When he notices the vase in Song Yunying’s hand, his eyes are even more freezing. He orders her, “Put it down!”

Song Yunying was going to say that Xue Tao is worth hundreds of times more than the vases like this. But when being glared by her father, she feels powerless and puts the vase in the place where it was originally laid with tears in her eyes.

Song Yan glances at Song Yunxuan and his voice is still serious: “Yunying, look at what you look like now? If you have suffered grievance in your mother-in-law’s house, you should not go mad when you come back home. Instead, you are supposed to explain it to us in a peaceful manner.

Song Yunying says nothing. Song Yan impatiently rebukes her, “Look at the things you smashed on the ground. Shame on you!”

The broken teacups, teapots and jade ornaments on the ground are of great value to ordinary families, but they are nothing to the merchants of the Song family.

The reason why Song Yan talks in that way is not because he feels his heart bleeding when the treasures are smashed on the ground but he dislikes the fact that his daughter loses her face in her mother in law’s house.

Song Yunying doesn’t understand that. After her father scolds her, she immediately sits on the sofa in a sulk and begins to cry with tissues in her hand: “Dad, the things smashed is not of value, but what Xue Tao has done is really too much. Why doesn’t my brother give me the photos of that slut, I will go and ask Xue Tao whom the bitch is! ”

Song Yunqiang looks at Song Yan in embarrassment: “Dad, this matter still needs your advice. I think it would be too irrational of Yunying to go directly to Xue Tao.”

Song Yunqiang is considerate. He feels it normal that a descendant of a powerful family has a few sexual companions as long as he doesn’t take them home and mess around. Her sister is really making a fuss over a trifle.

But he can’t say that lest it will irritate Song Yunying. He has to take the photos and videos to his father, Song Yan, seeking for his suggestions.

When Song Yan saw it, his face was gloomy. So, he had to come out to teach Song Yunying a lesson.

Song Yan doesn’t preach at Song Yunying nor does he criticize her severely. He just speaks in a gentle voice: “Yunying, you’re not a child, you should think before you leap especially when you’re pregnant now.”

Song Yunying looks up at her father with tears in her eyes.

Song Yan looks thoughtfully at her belly: “Leave alone those trivial things. As long as you have given birth to Xue Tao’s child, you need not to be afraid whether Xue Tao hooks up with the chicks or not.”

Song Yunying bites her lower lip. Although she knows what her father says is right, she really loves Xue Tao.

She doesn’t want to stop at all.

“But Dad, what if Xue Tao makes that woman pregnant…”

Her face turns pale and she looks terrified.

Song Yunxuan knows why Song Yunying is worried, because Xue Tao is not the biological father of the baby in Song Yunying’s belly.

If the secret is revealed by others while the woman Xue Tao messes around with happens to be pregnant, Song Yunying will probably not be able to stay at Xue’s house.

Song Yunying has been in the Song family for many years and has also taken over some industries of the Song family. Naturally, she knows that everything must be done without mistake.

Seeing her biting her lips, Song Yan reassures her in a low and gentle voice: “If she gets pregnant, she may not be able to bring her child to this world safely. Why do you worry so much?”

Listening to their conversation, Song Yunxuan stands beside her with a smile on her lips which is so faint as to be invisible from a distance.

Song Yunying eventually understands his father’s meaning from the second half of his father’s sentence. She is shocked. After a while of introspection, she looks down, wipes her tears and nods, “Sorry, Dad, Brother, it’s my fault.”

Since Song Yunying takes the initiative to apologize and Song Yan also spoils his daughter, he nods and asks Song Yunqiang to drive him back into the room.

Before leaving, he thoughtfully has a glimpse at Song Yunxuan.

Song Yunxuan seems to have noticed it and looks up at Song Yan with a poker face.

Song Yan looks at her clear pupils, then he averts his eyes without saying anything.

Recently, he always feels that this little girl may not be as simple as she appears. But when he finds her clear pupils, he thinks they are so clean and pure that its owner shouldn’t be a calculating person.

He really dislikes this little daughter. If Chu Mochen had not fallen in love with her, he would never have let her stay in the Song family anymore.

After Song Yan enters the room, Song Yunying plunges into the sofa like a deflated balloon.

When Song Yunxuan is about to turn around and leave,

Song Yunying suddenly looks up and says, “Are you laughing at me?”

Song Yunxuan does not have a smile on her face, and her voice is faint and very cold: “Sister, you can only blame yourself for your blindness when choosing your spouse.”

Song Yunying does not speak with hatred growing deep in her eyes. And she bites her lower lip.

Song Yunxuan doesn’t talk to her sister much. She still has more important things to do today.

As for Song Yunying’s issue, her father has given her a succinct instruction about what to do next.

If Song Yunying is not a fool, she can prevent Zhang Xiao from giving birth to Xue’s child, or even prevent her from becoming pregnant.

Song Yunxuan goes upstairs, opens the door and enters the bedroom which is very neat.

Song Yan and Song Yunqiang leaves her aside in order to deal with Song Yunying’s affairs.

Anyway, they don’t need to talk to her. Song Yan and Song Yunqiang should have known that she spent the night with Chu Mochen.

Their real purpose of making so many phone calls is just to show that the Song family cares about the little girl so that Chu Mochen may think that this girl actually matters in the Song family.

If she had picked up the phone, the Song family would have questioned her about her being at that time. They would prefer her not to answer.

Song Yunxuan knows a lot about their hypocritical code of conduct. After returning to her room, she washes her face and turns on the computer.

What shown on the screen is an e-mail from Xiao Hong.

Only three words appear after she clicks on it — it’s all right.

As Song Yunxuan observes the words, her eyes are shining with gloom as if they are shrouded in mist, which is extremely chilly.

She smiles slyly and clicks the mouse to delete the email immediately.

When she browses the web, she finds a lot of news on the topic of Venus salon and Gu’s.

Overnight, Yi Xiaoning and Han Rujia issued news reports suggesting that Gu bought them up and framed Venus, which have been posted on the home page of major websites.

Everyone wants to see how Gu’s, the absolute power in Yuncheng that never has any scandal, will deal with the two consumers who come forward to accuse them of framing their competitors.

Such news has attracted so much public attention that even the news of a rich second generation’s marriage has been crowded out of the headlines.

Song Yunxuan is delighted by such a huge wave of public opinion when she scrolls her mouse to browse the web.

She thinks that there must be a good play in the Song family now.

She doesn’t know how Shao Tianze feels when he learns that Han Rujia and Yi Xiaoning comes out two years later to clarify this matter.

Song Yunxuan already feels very happy just to think about it.

She smiles with satisfaction: “Shao Tianze, you have to hold on, this is just the beginning.”

Chapter 46: Retrieving the Memory Card

The receptionist has her heart in her mouth, and hurries to ask Du Bai and her colleagues to shut up.

But she has never anticipated that before she speaks, Song Yunxuan says softly, “Mr. Du.”

Her voice is cold, and the words “Mr. Du” makes Du Bai stunned for a moment.

After that, a few people around Du Bai become curious to see what is going to happen.

But as soon as they see Song Yunxuan, they can’t help changing their attitude. No one would have thought that the one they’re gossiping about would suddenly appear.

Du Bai’s fingers become stiff. He glances at Song Yunxuan dully and suddenly hides his camera behind him.

In Du Bai’s opinion, Song Yunxuan would never appear at this time and at the place where he works.

However, the girl seems to descend from the sky and catch him by surprise.

Everyone on spot gasps at the sight of Song Yunxuan. The silence chills the atmosphere.

A smile is still hung on Song Yunxuan’s lips. But when the receptionist wants to stop her, she pushes away the receptionist indifferently and walks forward coldly.

Du Bai wants to retreat, but feels that it is too disgraceful for a big man to back off in front of an eighteen-nine-year-old girl. He keeps still.

With a smile, Song Yunxuan comes to him. “Mr. Du, although this is my first time to meet you, you must have seen me more than once, right?”

Du Bai frowns: “Young lady, I don’t know you.”

When Song Yunxuan hears him say this, she knows that he is unwilling to give her the camera.

She is in no hurry, looking at him with her clean and bright eyes which are like dew in the morning. “Then you must know that I am Miss Song’s sister, right?”

Du Bai nods hesitantly.

Song Yunxuan looks down from his face and finds his hands behind his back. Her voice is cold. “Did my sister ask you to focus on me?”

“Miss Song, I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

Song Yunxuan can’t help laughing. People in Song Yunying’s company are quite good at dealing with unexpected accidents. It’s a good time to pretend to be innocent.

At the sight of that Song Yunxuan is unwilling to leave easily and catching Du Bai on the spot, the receptionist nearby feels that the thing is very difficult to handle.

When Du Bai confronts Song Yunxuan, the receptionist who is standing within his sight winks him desperately to let him keep the camera in his hands.

After Du Bai is aware of her intention, she quickly turns around and makes a phone call to Song Yunying.

Song Yunying puts on a happy face at the moment when she knows that Du Bai had taken a photo of Song Yunxuan’s scandal. But when her employee tells her that Song Yunxuan has come to the company in person, she immediately says, “Hold her, don’t let Du Bai give her the memory card, I’ll be there soon.”

After the phone call, the receptionist hands a cup of hot coffee to Song Yunxuan.

At the same time, she also advises: “Miss Song, this must be a misunderstanding. Have a cup of coffee to calm down, please. Miss Song is on her way here.”

Song Yunxuan listens to the words of the receptionist. She calmly retrieves her sight from Du Bai. As if she has calmed down, she turns around to pick up the coffee cup in the receptionist’s hand.

The people present breathes a sigh of relief.

Just then, Song Yunxuan suddenly splashes the boiling coffee in the cup onto Du Bai’s face and neck.

Du Bai hasn’t expected such a sudden accident. The severely unbearable pain on his face makes him cover his face with his hands.

The thing in his hands is also thrown away.

“Shit! It’s hot!”

Song Yunxuan watches him covering his face with both hands. She narrows her eyes in which a sharp cold light is brewing.

Reaching out, she takes the zoom camera that Du Bai has been holding in his arms a few seconds ago, then turns around and leaves.

In an instant, the people present change their view on this seemingly weak girl after they see Song Yunxuan’s indifferent actions and fierce treatment.

Du Bai, after wiping the coffee off his face, suddenly finds Song Yunxuan leaving with his camera.

Hurriedly, he strides forward and grabs her arm. “Miss Song, you scalded me just now, but you don’t even apologize. Are you going to leave with my things?”

Song Yunxuan looks coldly at her arm held by his hands, then she lifts up her eyes, “So, do you want me to take you to the hospital, or to the bureau?”

Du Bai’s face, which is scalded red, becomes instantly pale.

Song Yunxuan breaks away from his hand and raises up the zoom camera in her hand. “It’s wrong for you to take pictures of me without my permission. Do you still want to use my pictures to benefit your career?”

Du Bai looks at the camera in her hand and wants to grab it.

But Song Yunxuan takes back her hand in time: “If you publish the photos with unrealistic words to fabricate scandals against me, my reputation will be damaged. In that way, it will be meaningless for me to visit you this time.”

“Miss Song, if you return the camera to me, I promise I won’t distribute the photos.”

Song Yunxuan has a cold glance at him: “I don’t believe you.”

After that, she takes the memory card out of the camera.

Du Bai still wants to take it back, but suddenly a voice rings behind him: “What are you doing? No more work?!”

It is not others but Song Yunying who is talking.

Song Yunxuan, without turning around, throws a camera that had been taken out the memory card into Du Bai’s arms and warns him, “I hope this is the last time, Mr. Du.”

Du Bai keeps a blue face. He is splashed with coffee in front of his colleagues and taken away his memory card which is a real shame on him.

But it’s his fault indeed.

Although he is angry, he has no choice but to leave with his camera in his hands.

Song Yunxuan holds the memory card in her hand tightly with her fingers.

Song Yunying is disappointed to see that the dispute has ended and that the memory card has been taken away by Song Yunxuan.

“Yunxuan, what are you doing in my company?”

Song Yunying has a bad attitude towards Song Yunxuan since last time. Now when the two sisters meet, she can’t even pretend to be intimate with her at all.

Song Yunxuan doesn’t care about her sister’s attitude. She just puts the memory card in her pocket and looks up at Song Yunying. “Sister, I hope you still remember that my surname is Song.”

She says this sentence in a faint tone, but in which there is a force that can’t be ignored.

Song Yunying looks at her who is about to leave, she cannot help saying, “Stand still.”

Song Yunxuan stops.

Song Yunying approaches her unhappily: “What do you mean by saying that?”

Song Yunxuan smiles at her and says, “Sister, it will finally harm the Song family no matter the scandal points at you or me. What do you think of your position in your mother-in-law’s family if the Song family is looked down upon?”

The astonished feeling appears in her eyes instantly as if she has been knocked at the heart. The hesitation shows up on her face.

She also knows that commercial marriage is just a mutual utilization. If her mother’s family is haunted by scandals, she will be despised in her mother-in-law’s family.

Song Yunxuan brushes past her, and says in a faint voice: “Sister, if you want to stand firm in the Xue family, you have to hope that the Song family will not go downhill.”

What she said really knocks on Song Yunying’s heart. After she is gone, Song Yunying slowly turns around and looks at the direction in which she leaves.

When the receptionist sees her distraction, she hurries to her and calls her, “Miss Song?”

Song Yunying does not respond.

The receptionist can’t help touching her shoulder, and says worriedly: “Miss Song?”

Song Yunying suddenly comes to when she is tapped on her shoulder.

The receptionist is worried: “Miss Song? Are you all right?

Song Yunying’s eyelashes droop with her distressed face, “You go and tell the HR department to transfer Du Bai to Xiucheng Branch.”

The receptionist turns on a numb face, “But, Miss Song, the salary of Xiucheng Branch is half lower than that of Yuncheng Headquarters. Du Bai is one of the most efficient photographers in the magazine. If you transfer him to the Branch……”

Song Yunying’s eyes are dim and her lips droop sadly: “Du Bai is so careless. Once he’s determined to shoot Yunxuan, he must do it in secret. Once Song Yunxuan finds it out, I have to send him away. Otherwise, I will have troubles.”

The receptionist goes silent and delivers the message to the HR department.

In her heart, Song Yunying is very clear that what Song Yunxuan said is right, moreover, she should be in awe of her.

Her handles are firmly pinched by Song Yunxuan.

Although Song Yunxuan does not threaten her repeatedly with her disadvantages, she should also be modest on some issues.

Otherwise, in the end, it will always be herself who suffers loses.

She can’t afford to take the risk.

Thinking of it, Song Yunying raises her hands to cover her belly.

As long as this child is born, she can gain a firm position at the Xue family.

There are thousands of ways to hide a child’s origin, but the only precondition is that he can survive.

After finishing her work, Song Yunxuan pays a visit to Venus by the way. When she returns to the editorial office of Fanxing magazine, she finds Xiao Hong stopping what she’s doing and coming to talk to her.

“Miss Song, as for the page of this issue of the magazine, do you think it’s all right?”

While she is talking, she takes her to the computer to show her the format of typesetting.

Song Yunxuan looks at the typesetting style and nods, “That’s it. It’s good.”

Getting Song Yunxuan’s approval, Xiao Hong says, “Miss Song, you have a guest.”

“A Guest?”

Song Yunxuan feels sort of strange. But thinking that it may be Yi Xiaoning whom she visited today, she accelerates the pace to her office.

Xiao Hong follows her with some embarrassment: “Miss Song.”

“What? Haven’t you let her wait in my office?

Xiao Hong grabs Song Yunxuan with a somewhat complicated expression. She pulls Song Yunxuan aside and whispers “The other side is…”

“Yunxuan.”

Before Xiao Hong finishes, the door of the office opens with a click.

Song Yunxuan listens to his familiar voice and turns her head in surprise.

She just meets Chu Mochen’s eyes.

A faint smile is hung on Chu Mochen’s handsome face.

Song Yunxuan is stunned when she meets Chu Mochen. Then she quickly puts her right hand behind her back.

Xiao Hong says knowingly: “Miss Song, I’ll prepare you some coffee.”

Xiao Hong is gone. Yet Song Yuanxuan seems doesn’t want to go into the office, standing at the door and gazing at Chu Mochen. She says, “What are you doing here?”

Chu Mochen opens the door, “Come in, let’s have a word.”

Song Yunxuan stands still.

Chu Mochen bends up his lips, and says jokingly, “Come on, what are you afraid of?”

Chapter 45: Being Photographed

Song Yunxuan’s words are gentle, but they remain lingering in Yi Xiaoning’s cochlea, just like magic sounds.

Shao Xue is standing behind her and listening to her. For a moment, she is stunned.

Song Yunxuan takes out her business card from the handbag and puts it on the counter near Yi Xiaoning: “Miss Yi, if you want, please call me anytime.”

Yi Xiaoning looks at her with a strange expression.

The strange expression, in Yi Xiaoning’s eyes, can’t affect Song Yunxuan’s mood at all. She keeps smiling peacefully from beginning to end.

Maybe Yi Xiaoning is unlovely. However, as long as she can help to knock Shao Tianze down to the ground, Song Yunxuan will smile at her no matter how ugly and hideous she is.

Because the most terrible thing in the world is never an ugly face.

It’s a heart as malicious as snakes and scorpions.

She turns back to leave, and Shao Xue is shocked for a while before leaving the shop with her.

As soon as they get out, they hear a click of the camera.

Before Shao Xue reacts, a shadow moves away.

Song Yunxuan alertly turns back at once to see where the sound comes from. Suddenly she sees a figure rushing into the lane and then disappearing.

Shao Xue frowns and hides her eyes by hands. Song Yunxuan also frowns. “Could you discern that man?”

Shao Xue did not see that man clearly. However, following Song Yunxuan’s gaze, she spots a figure: “It’s a man. It seems that he has a camera.”

Song Yunxuan’s face turns cold, “It should be a newspaper reporter. Let’s get on the bus first.”

Hearing this, Shao Xue turns back to that sex toy store, she starts to be worried: “Yunxuan, if you are photographed from that store, it will be harmful to your reputation. Moreover, you are the daughter of Song Family and going to marry into the Chu Family.”

Song Yunxuan has thought this earlier than Shao Xue. Looking back at the big sign of Yi Xiaoning’s sex toy store, she sneers: “Someone is endeavoring for the negative news about me.”

Atfer that, she goes ahead: “First, we need to find Xiao Hong. We must come back now.”

Shao Xue still feels uneasy: “Shall we chase that reporter?”

“No. It’s too late.”

Now that he can follow here, Song Yunxuan must have been spotted for a long time, and the photographer must have made plans for dilemmas.

Now he must have got the photos smoothly. She’s afraid that he had already driven away.

Perhaps, at this time, the photos have been sent back to the magazine.

She backtracks with Shao Xue together. Seeing her coming back, Xiao Hong opens the door for her. She seems worried. “Miss Song, have you found Yi Xiaoning?”

Song Yunxuan nods and gets on the car. “Yi Xiaoning’s face was damaged badly. This is her photo. You need to take her to the most famous cosmetic surgeon in China and ask the doctor how to restore her face.”

Song Yunxuan hands over the information to Xiao Hong.

Xiao Hong takes over and looks carefully at these photos. She grins: “She’s grossly disfigured, indeed.”

Song Yunxuan sneers: “Women who can act without being affected by others’ comments are not so many. It’s hard to find a girl like Yi Xiaoning.”

Xiao Hong understands the implied meaning of her words, but she doesn’t speak frankly…

Shao Xue does not respond, too.

However, after she hears the conditions brought up by Song Yunxuan for Yi Xiaoning, she feels that Yi Xiaoning will probably agree if she is not insane.

Xiao Hong sets off on her way. Song Yunxuan looks out at the scenery with her head propped up by her hands. All the way, she is wondering who would send the person to photograph her.

Xiao Hong keeps silent for a while and then reaches out to open the radio.

Song Yunxuan observes her movements and frowns slightly. Xiao Hong immediately withdraws her hand.

Song Yunxuan finds Xiao Hone is pretty judicious. Her expression softens: “Mrs. Xiao, have you decided the content of this issue?”

Xiao Hong nods: “Yes, but…”

Song Yunxuan notices her hesitation, so her expression softens. Then she smiles: “What’s wrong? Just tell me. I just had a headache. But I massage it so it’s much better now.”

When Xiao Hong finds Song Yunxuan’s attitude changes, she says: “Because The ZUI Queen always publishes some hot current topics in Yuncheng on the first three pages. About this issue…”

She feels some embarrassed, pursuing her lips.

Song Yunxuan knows that she is hesitating, so she replies, “The news of Yuncheng has always been reported by other magazines. We must report it, otherwise, our sales will decline, and readers will say that we are not well informed.”

Xiao Hong nods at once: “Yes, Miss Song, our editorial department also thinks so, but… in fact, the hottest topic for this issue is …”

It seems that she is in a pickle. Staring at Song Yunxuan’s face in the rearview mirror, she squeezes out some words: “In fact, it’s the marriage between the Chu Family and Song Family.”

Song Yunxuan feels that her eyes jump once and then turn dim.

Xiao Hong realizes her words create a tense atmosphere.

However, only a few seconds later, Song Yunxuan raises her eyes and asks her, “Have the Chu family announced to cancel the engagement?”

“No,” Xiao Hong hastily explains, “They just claim to delay the wedding date. The exact time of the wedding has not been decided, but many people speculate…”

Song Yunxuan says lightly: “In terms of the versions, you need keep it same with other magazines. Don’t worry, although I am the owner of Fanxing Magazine. Even if Fanxing Magazine does not report on me, the rest of the magazines will still do it. ”

Xiao Hong agrees and the comforts her, “Miss Song, if you still feel headache, you can rest for a while as we still need several minutes on the trip.”

Where Yi Xiaoning hides is really far. Although it’s still in Yuncheng, it is near the outskirt.

Shao Xue has been sitting beside her silently. Not until Song Yunxuan closes her eyes and rests on her seat to sleep does she start to speak to Xiao Hong in a low voice.

“Mrs. Xiao, have you seen the live video which is about the Chu family’s announcement of delaying the wedding?”

Xiao Hong nods: “Yes, when I was waiting for you, I watched it on my mobile phone.”

Shao Xue asks, with her eyebrows knitting, “Well, do you know which magazines dispatches reporters to the scene at that time?”

Xiao Hong is a media editor, so she is very good at observing her peers. After being asked, she reflects carefully for a while and then answers, “The most impressive for me are ZUI Fashion and Ku Mao Entertainment.”

As Xiao Hong intends to think about it again, Song Yunxuan interrupts her, “Mrs. Xiao, please stop at the editorial department building of the ZUI Fashion Magazine.”

“… Okay.”

Shao Xue stops asking but Xiao Hong feels they’re pretty strange.

On the way back to the city, Xiao Hong stops at the editorial department building of ZUI Fashion Magazine, on Song Yunxuan’s command.

Shao Xue follows Song Yunxuan to get off the car and asks, “Would you like me to accompany you?”

Song Yunxuan stares at this office building which belongs to her elder sister and then narrows her eyes: “No, thanks. You can go back with Mrs. Xiao now. If someone calls me at my office, pick it up for me.”

Shao Xue understands her intention.

Only Yi Xiaoning will call her and only her call deserves to be answered.

Thinking of this, Shao Xue asks again, “Yunxuan, do we need to find Han Rujia, the women who also got disfigured as Yi Xiaoning?”

Song Yunxuan bends up her lips. And there is a bright smile in her eyes. She looks happy, “No, I just need to write her a letter.”

Since they have persuaded Yi Xiaoning, it’s not difficult to get Han Rujia done.

She has a clear plan on what to do next.

After Shao Xue and Xiao Hong leave, she goes straight into the building.

The receptionist glances at her then looks at the mobile phone to compare her with the photos. After that, she rushes to meet her, “Excuse me, Miss, are you Song Yunxuan?”

Song Yunxuan, with a faint smile, looks gently at the receptionist and asks, “Has my elder sister known I’m coming to visit her?”

The receptionist hastily shakes her head: “No, no, some time ago Miss Song told us that she has a younger sister. And she hopes we could recognize you. She has reminded us if you came here, you could visit her with no appointment. You could go to the VIP reception hall and wait for her there.”

Song Yunxuan nods at her.

The receptionist thinks that Song Yunxuan wants to go to the VIP Reception Hall, so she takes a step ahead to lead the way.

But when the receptionist leans herself sideways to ask Song Yunxuan to go upstairs, Song Yunxuan does not look at her at all. She just goes directly in the opposite direction, and then takes the elevator to the sixth floor.

The receptionist is stunned then hurries to follows her, “Miss, the VIP reception hall is on the ninth floor.”

At this moment, the elevator door opens. Song Yunxuan enters into it, with a smile: “Really? So, come in together.”

The receptionist enters into the elevator.

Song Yunxuan has already pressed the button of sixth floor.

The receptionist looks embarrassed.

At the sixth floor, the elevator door opens.

Song Yunxuan steps out, but the receptionist reaches out to hold Song Yunxuan’s arm in a hurry, “Miss Song, we need to go to the ninth floor.”

The smile on Song Yunxuan’s face disappears. She looks coldly at the hand grasping her arms.

The receptionist is roughly at the age of twenty-six. But when Song Yunxuan looks her in that way, she feels cold from the bottom of her heart. She hastily withdraws her hand as if she has offended Song Yunxuan.

She intends to apologize, but Song Yunxuan goes straight out of the elevator to the photo editorial office on the sixth floor.

The editorial office is very busy at this moment, and there stands a young man with two cameras hanging around his neck, two cameras of famous brand.

He is surrounded by six or seven people whose voices sound excited. “Du Bai, you’ve got big news. Maybe Miss Song will give you a promotion.”

“Come on, he took the picture of Miss Song’s sister. Maybe Song will dismiss him directly.”

“No, But Miss Song always hopes that there will emerge some social scandals of her sister. Look, this girl is really beautiful. But at such a young age, why would she go to that sex toy store? Maybe before she reaches the age of 18, she has …”

Later, their words turn into obscure laughter.

Several people gather into a circle, and the receptionist’s face turns pale.

She looks at Song Yunxuan with fear, but suddenly finds a grim and cold smile slowly appearing on Song Yunxuan’s lips.

And in her eyes, there is piercing light.

Chapter 44: Venus’ innocence

Song Yunxuan’s words surprise Xiao Hong.

Xiao Hong turns her head and looks at Song Yunxuan in amazement.

Though Song Yunxuan’s eyes are clear, the emotions in her eyes are blurred.

“What’s wrong? Miss Xiao?”

Xiao Hong finds her mind straying, so she hurries to reply, “No, it’s all right, Miss Song.”

Although Xiao Hong does not show anything on her face, her heart is like a boat in the stormy ocean.

She can’t have imagined that an eighteen-year-old girl should have planned so well what to do next.

Associating Song Yunxuan’s family background, Xiao Hong has more confidence in her.

The little daughter of the Song family is not the one to be trifled with after all.

Xiao Hong obeys Song Yunxuan’s arrangement and drives her to the designated address in the afternoon.

Song Yunxuan brings Shao Xue there too.

On the way, Shao Xue turns over the information sheet beside Song Yunxuan and finds that the information in the folder is about the case of consumer beauty disputes in Yuncheng two years ago. And the victim and the defendant are clearly written on it.

The most amazing thing is that on the last page, the faces and addresses of the two disfigurers are clearly printed.

The two people are respectively, Han Rujia and Yi Xiaoning.

Song Yunxuan looks at their address and opens his lips towards Xiao Hong, who is driving in front of her. “Miss Xiao, let’s go to Yi Xiaoning’s house first.”

Xiao Hong hesitates for a moment, but she still can’t help turning her head and reminding Song Yunxuan, “Miss Song, although the name of Yi Xiaoning sounds delicate and pretty, she is a complicated person. In order to fight the lawsuit against Venus, for a whole year, she did nothing but went around the door of Venus’ Branch to show people her disfigured face.”

Song Yunxuan looks at the photographs of Yi Xiaoning before and after her disfigurement on the document and gently touches the image on the paper with her fingers: “Yi Xiaoning is really a hard nut. But exactly because of that, I have to start from her.”

Tough nuts are not terrible because they’re usually greedy. No matter she likes money or goods, she has her weaknesses as long as she has extra desires.

It will be much easier to catch her out if she has any disadvantage.

Xiao Hong looks at Song Yunxuan’s face in the rearview mirror and finds that Song Yunxuan reads the paper with her calculating eyes and a slight smile on her lips.

Xiao Hong has a sense of oppression that she dares not act freely, and then stops talking.

Shao Xue, after tasting Song Yunxuan’s words carefully, begins to ask her, “Is Han Rujia’s situation totally different from that of Yi Xiaoning?”

Song Yunxuan looks up at Shao Xue, smiles and nods, “It’s quite different.”

Looking at Han Rujia’s pictures before and after the disfigurement on the data, Shao Xue finds that Han Rujia was indeed a beauty before the case, but after it, her face was hideously deformed.

It is also reasonable that Song Yunxuan decides not to visit Han Rujia first.

Because Han Rujia’s face is really destroyed, which is not fake.

Moreover, the reason why Han Rujia’s face is ruined like this is not that she was manipulated by Gu Changge, but by Gu Changle.

Song Yunxuan hasn’t drowned in memory. But with Xiao Hong driving forward, she carefully observes the road ahead.

After confirming that Yi Xiaoning’s address is near, Song Yunxuan opens her mouth and calls Xiao Hong: “Miss Xiao, stop here and wait for me. I’ll go with Shao Xue.”

Xiao Hong stops the car. She is still worried: “Miss Song, if Yi Xiaoning knows that you are here for Venus, I’m afraid that she might embarrass you. And you still have to rehabilitate Venus.”

Song Yunxuan gets out of the car and says, “Both of us don’t know the fact of this case. I’ll go and see her attitude first.”

Xiao Hong has no choice but to tell Shao Xue to act carefully and prevent Yi Xiaoning from hurting Song Yunxuan.

Song Yunxuan finds that they’re going all the way forward uphill. The buildings over this area are basically bungalows. Each family has its own small courtyard. The surrounding environment is clean. And the sea breeze permeates the air.

She goes on while Shao Xue checks the street and the number of the door.

After walking past two blocks, Shao Xue suddenly says, “Yunxuan, the small shop in front seems to be run by Yi Xiaoning.”

Song Yunxuan looks up and finds that there is a small grocery not far away. She takes a breath and follows Shao Xue there.

It is true that Yi Xiaoning operates a small supermarket after her disfigurement.

But when they arrive at the door, they find out that it is not grocery, but a sex toys store.

Looking at the product slogan at the entrance of the shop, Shao Xue’s face turns red with embarrassment: “Yunxuan, we are still unmarried girls. Do you think it would be inappropriate for us to enter such a shop?”

Song Yunxuan turns her head to look at her with a faint expression: “Some places look clean, but in fact, they are even dirtier than here.”

After that, she stops looking at Shao Xue and pushes the door in.

Seeing Song Yunxuan push the door in, Shao Xue has to follow up reluctantly.

After entering the door, there rings automatically the mechanical voice from the robot doll to welcome the guests.

Song Yunxuan is sick of the thick smoke that diffuses the room, so she raises her hand to fan it.

When she’s just about to turn her head, she hears a voice not far from the door. The one says lazily, “What do you need, ladies?”

Searching for the voice’s origin, Song Yunxuan finds a woman with shoulder-length curly hair in a tight miniskirt and black stockings.

The woman’s voice is delicate. According to her figure, she is about 28 years old. When she notices Song Yunxuan and Shao Xue, there is a sarcasm hang on her eyes: “Two young chicks, have you been sexually insulted by hypocrites? Or you just need some little toys to bear your horny and lonely night.”

Shao Xue feels disgusted when she’s looking at the woman’s face.

Grasping Song Yunxuan’s arm, she almost wants to subconsciously drag Song Yunxuan out of this place.

But Song Yunxuan stands steadily like a rock, motionlessly looking at the ugly woman with a sarcastic tone and an ugly face.

The woman’s eyes had ever gone through an operation. She was beautiful. But because of the misuse of medicine injection, the muscles around her eye are twisted upward. Her face was uncoordinated, and her lips, drooped so badly that the whole face can’t smile at all. The most terrible thing is that her cheeks are stiff with under the skin. Like a puppet, she looks numb and hideous when she speaks.

Song Yunxuan opens the folder in her hand and then looks up indifferently. “Miss Yi Xiaoning?”

The woman frowns: “This is a sex toys store, not a homeless shelter, not a place for you to find someone.”

After that, she turns around in order to go away.

When Song Yunxuan sees that she wants to leave, she does not chase her. Instead, she turns her head to look around the small shop. “When you made use of the opportunity to get so many benefits from Gu Changge, you just hid the millions of CNY and set up such a shop?”

The woman stops walking as if her body freezes when she hears the name, Gu Changge.

Song Yunxuan breaks away from Shao Xue’s hand and goes “Miss Yi Xiaoning, I’m now in charge of Venus. Because Venus’s cosmetic surgery you did two years ago has been greatly criticized by public opinion, so now I am paying a return visit to check your current situation.”

When the woman hears that they are from the Venus, she turns around with maliciousness in her eyes: “What? Hasn’t Venus collapsed yet?”

Song Yunxuan smiles appropriately: “Miss Yi Xiaoning, because of your efforts, Venus has collapsed. But I bought it.”

Yi Xiaoning sneers: “Since you purchased it, you can just change its name and come back again. Why do you come to me, I will not continue to charge against Venus.”

Song Yunxuan looks at her appearance and nods: “Miss Yi Xiaoning, although I bought Venus, I have no intention to rename it.”

Yi Xiaoning smiles, feeling funny: “What a young dumb chick. Would you like me to apologize to Venus, and to say unfairly that they didn’t disfigure my face?”

Song Yunxuan looks down and says in a friendly and gentle tone, “Miss Yi Xiaoning, the millions of CNY that Gu Changge gave you at that time were not enough for gambling at all?”

Yi Xiaoning is astonished.

She looks at Song Yunxuan and feels incredible about what she said.

Song Yunxuan directly turns to the last page of the papers in her hand: “This is what you used to look like. Think about this, you return to your previous appearance, move to another city with hundreds of thousand CNY and an apartment to start over again, which will keep you away from your creditors, and your low life of now.”

The woman’s eyebrows come closer to each other.

Song Yunxuan watches the change of expression on her face and carefully observes the expression in her eyes.

Yi Xiaoning is indeed a tough nut.

She is not only a tiffany woman but also a gambler.

She went to Venus for cosmetic surgery. In order to frame Venus and let them make huge compensation so that she would have the money to pay off her debts, she asked an unlicensed beauty clinic to give her drugs injections.

But Venus Salon has a good reputation in the industry, how can it be a beauty agency that a person can pull down?

The Venus planned to get reconciled with her by giving her tens of thousands of CNY.

But just before they did it, Yi Xiaoning was discovered by Gu Changge.

At that time, Gu Changge saw her holding up a sign at the door of the Venus branch to ask for the compensation. She just let the driver stop, and then told the driver to drive away after watching her for a few minutes.

Later, she went to find Yi Xiaoning herself and guaranteed her ten times the amount of compensation Venus had promised as long as she did not let go of Venus.

Hence, Yi Xiaoning kept fighting against Venus and biting Venus as hard as a mad dog.

Venus finally promised her a high claim of 900,000 yuan.

On the next day of Yi Xiaoning’s high claim, Gu Changge gave her nine million yuan to leave the city and never come back.

Unfortunately, after paying off her gambling debts, Yi Xiaoning lost all her remaining savings overnight in a casino.

When she wanted to blackmail Gu Changge again, Gu Changge has found evidence that she gambled badly and injected medicines in a small clinic that inflamed her facial muscles and disfigured her face, and warned her that if she dared say anything wrong, she would immediately sue her for slander and send her to prison.

Hence, Yi Xiaoning, no matter how tough she is, dares not venture to tell the truth that she was supported by Gu’s.

But now, she is offered such generous conditions to return to the public.

She looks at Song Yunxuan.

Song Yunxuan slowly opens her mouth as if to tempt her: “Gu Changge is dead, as long as you say that Gu forced you to frame Venus that year, I will ask someone to give you a new face, send you off this city, keep you away from your creditors as well as giving you an apartment and a small fortune.”

Chapter 42: Darry Ring

“No, to be more precise, why do you hate Shao Tianze?”

Song Yunxuan gazes at Chu Mochen and finds that he is serious, smiles: “I don’t hate him.”

It’s easy for her to say that, which makes Chu Mochen almost believe her.

However, suddenly, Song Yunxuan’s eyes dim, with her bright smile disappearing. Her gaze is steely: “I just want to make him lose everything.”

I‘ll let him lose everything!

I want him to feel the helplessness!

She wants to inflict all the pain that she has suffered on Shao Tianze. She wants him to experience the agony she went through when she died.

Song Yunxuan grits her teeth, and her gaze is freezing cold.

Chu Mochen stares at her face, in a trance, as if he sees Gu Changge’s face.

“Yunxuan.” he calls her by her name.

Song Yunxuan comes to and turns her head towards him.

Chu Mochen carefully looks at her expression, as if to recognize something. After observing for a long time, he finds himself really whimsical. Then he can’t help mocking himself and shakes his head helplessly, “You always make me feel that she is still alive.”

Song Yunxuan asks softly, “Gu Changge?”

Chu Mochen does not deny: “Yes.”

Song Yunxuan can’t tell what she feels like. She just thinks it’s interesting that Chu Mochen can often remember Gu Changge although she is dead.

Originally Chu Mochen doesn’t have an affair with Gu Changge at all. But now, it seems that he has never forgotten her.

She watches the waves hitting the shore and says, “I hope you hadn’t announce our engagement.”

“For Chu family, making solemn pledges is vital. Since the news of our wedding has been spread, there is no way to change it. Do you understand?”

Chu family always enjoys a good reputation in Yuncheng. If their proposal is rejected by the bride’s family, it will make a fool of them.

Song Yunxuan also understands his words. Looking at him, she says with a low voice: “If you are afraid of losing face, you can announce that it’s you who give up our marriage because of my insufficiency.”

With a trace of smile emerges across his lips, Chu Mochen casts a glance at her then focuses his gaze on the scene out of the window, “In that case, I will be the one who hurts you.”

Song Yunxuan is surprised but says firmly: “In any case, I will not get married until I destroy Gu Family.”

When this sentence is uttered, the wind around seems to die down for some seconds.

Chu Mochen feels it’s incredible. He turns his head and look at Song Yunxuan.

It seems Song Yunxuan also realizes she didn’t mince her words just now. In a hurry, she is about to get off.

Chu Mochen’s holds her arm with his big hands: “I won’t let you go.”

Held up by him, she frowns nervously since she knows that it won’t benefit her if the things keep going like this. Then she becomes anxious: “Chu Mochen, I know what I said just now is ridiculous to you, but you will never understand my plans. Let me go, there are many other beautiful girls in this world who deserve your love.”

She struggles to free herself. But when pulling his hand that is holding her, she is grabbed again.

With swift and powerful actions, he grabs her wrist to drag her into the car.

Chu Mochen turns over and presses her on the seat of the car. The window is raised by one third, just blocking the view outside.

“What are you doing?”

Song Yunxuan vigilantly stares at him.

Like an eagle, Chu Mochen sincerely gazes at her in the eyes as if he can see through her heart.

Song Yunxuan feels that his eyes are so intensive she can’t look through what he wants.

“Song Yunxuan, no matter how I chase you and how much I love you, you are always indifferent. Don’t you think you are too proud?”

Song Yunxuan keeps her poker face: “I never allow you to court me, Chu Mochen.”

She wants to go forward alone all the time, without any help of others.

As long as the thorns on the road do not cut through her feet, she can finish the journey by herself.

No matter how much blood she sheds, she can grit her teeth and continue until she finishes the revenge plan.

“Chu Mochen, I’m not the woman you want. I won’t marry you, becoming your wife nor will I assist you and educate your children. I won’t do the things you want me to do.”

Looking at her deadpan expression, he feels that even though Song Yunxuan is suppressed in her actions, her heart is still unchanged.

“Yunxuan…”

Chu Mochen takes a breath as if to suppress his inner feelings.

Song Yunxuan peers at him, she is still in firm, “I hope you can break the engagement with me.”

“That would destroy you. Without me, you would be nothing in Song Family.”

Song Yunxuan smiles: “No. Since no one imprisons me, I can get the whole property of Song family.”

Her cold and ambitious heart is hard to get.

However, from the day when she entered the Song family, she had such an ambition, which is enough to shock him.

Chu Mochen looks at her, with his dark bushy eyebrows arching. He withdraws his hands disappointedly.

Song Yunxuan gets rid of his body, trying to push the door and get out.

Suddenly, he hugs her from behind.

He gathers his arms around her waist, with his thin lips imprinting on her neck.

Song Yunxuan has been kissed more than once by him. Although she is somewhat surprised, she quickly calms down after a short flurry.

Peering at the distance calmly, she reaches out to untie his hands that is holding her waist.

But when her hand overlays on his, Chu Mochen clutches her fingers and puts something cool on the ring finger of her right hand.

In surprise, she looks down.

Chu Mochen kisses her on her earlobe. “It’s for you.”

She continues to look down.

His mellow and sexy voice rises at her ear: “It’s our engagement ring.”

Song Yunxuan frowns: “I said I don’t want to marry you.”

Chu Mochen kisses her lips immediately, and refuses to release her no matter how her struggles.

The hot kiss seems to convey all his passion to her, which lingers over her heart. He leaves her lip reluctantly when she nearly suffocates.

Song Yunxuan flushes because of the lack of oxygen. She raises hands to push him and then touches her own lips.

The silver ring on her forth finger leaps into her vision.

It’s Darry Ring.

Is it the wedding ring that can only be purchased once during one’s lifetime with his ID card?

She is struck dumb.

Chu Mochen, however, lifts his hand to gently tuck her falling hair behind ears. Then he helps her to wipe her mouth and smiles at her sincerely.

Song Yunxuan hardly figures out what Chu Mochen wants to do.

“Why? Give me this ring…”

“Maybe I cannot marry you now, but it does not mean I will not marry you in the future. You are my wife. I will always keep a position in Chu Family for you.”

Song Yunxuan shakes her head and feels surprised that he is really wayward.

He fastens her seat belt and sends her back to the Song Family when her mind is still in confusion.

When they arrive, he opens the car’s door for her and helps her out of the car.

Seeing Chu Mochen taking care of Song Yunxuan so lovingly, Song Yunqiang is very astonished.

Chu Mochen is a man who never has too much interest in women. And even if he has, Song Yunqiang has never seen he’s so considerable to Song Yunxuan before.

Song Yunxuan’s face shows an imperceptible expression

Song Yunqiang notices that Song Yunxuan doesn’t smile, hurriedly asks nurse Wang to help her: “Come and help Yunxuan, she’s uncomfortable.”

With an apologetic smile, Chu Mochen speaks softly: “I took her for a ride along the seaside, and she is light-headed now.”

Although Chu Mochen explains, Song Yunqiang clearly sees the ambiguous hickey exposed on her sister’s collar.

Song Yunqiang averts his eyes from her collar and doesn’t expose Chu Mochen’s lie, just asks nurse Wang to support Song Yunxuan back to her room.

Chu Mochen’s eyes settle on Song Yunxuan until she is supported upstairs.

Song Yunqiang asks him, “Childe Chu, feel like a cup of tea?”

“No, thanks, I want to visit Mr. Song.”

Song Yunqiang immediately leads Chu Mochen to Song Yan’s room.

Song Yunqiang does not accompany Chu Mochen in the room. After a while, Chu Mochen comes out of Song Yan’s room and leaves.

Song Yunqiang doesn’t know what Chu Mochen said to Song Yan. He waits for Chu Mochen to leave before he comes in to see Song Yan.

“Dad, what did Childe Chu say?”

Song Yan’s eyes are dark-ringed. He had a poor sleep last night. After being asked by Song Yunqiang what Chu Mochen had said just now, his gaze becomes sharp, “I don’t think Yunxuan can fasten on Chu Mochen.”

Song Yunqiang is shocked: “Dad, what do you mean?”

Song Yan is somewhat angry: “Childe Chu told me that their wedding would be delayed. I asked him how long it would be, he even told me that he had no intention to get married in the coming couple of years.”

With his sinking heart, Song Yunqiang asks: “Does he give up Yunxuan?”

Song Yan’s eyes seem to be covered with shadows: “If Chu Family announces they give up Yunxuan, it can be easy for us to handle, we just need to marry Yunxuan to someone else, but Chu Mochen…”

Song Yan sighs and can’t continue.

“Dad?” Song Yunqiang waits for Song Yan to speak.

Song Yan frowns, looks angry and helpless: “I’ve never thought Chu Mochen would refuse to break the engagement.”

Song Yunqiang purses his lips and cannot figure out Chu Mochen’s real thoughts.

Then, Song Yan picks up a file bag and hands it to Song Yunqiang: “He said it was an engagement gift for Yunxuan. And Let me hand it to Yunxuan. Open it and see what’s in it.”

Although Song Yunqiang feels it’s not polite to open his sister’s gifts without her permission, he obeys his father’s orders.

After opening the file bag and pulling out a stack of documents inside, he turns them over page by page and then he widens his eyes with shock.

Song Yan looks at Song Yunqiang’s astonished expression, he also becomes anxious. “What is this?”

“Dad, Dad, Dad,” Song Yunqiang is too shocked to close his mouth, “This is Chu Shao’s asset given to Yunxuan. It’s Venus Salon!”

Song Yan doesn’t recover from surprise for a long time.

Since the engagement gift is such a valuable asset of him, how could Chu Mochen give up Song Yunxuan?!

Chapter 41: Hatred

There are fear and nervousness in Gu Changle’s eyes.

When Shao Tianze sees the tears in her eyes, he feels pitiful about her, and his tone also softens a little: “Yi and Miaomiao have come to see you. You should be happy.”

Gu Changle nods, but she still can’t put her heart at the bottom.

Gu Yi is a cute and calm boy. He is not as naughty as other children of his age. He comes to Gu Changle and asks her if her condition is better.

Gu Changle looks at his appearance, and then at Shao Tianze. She feels that the child only shares a few similarities with Shao Tianze in their appearance. But the boy is not ugly. So, she speaks to him with a pleasant face.

However, Gu Yi’s sister, Gu Miaomiao, refuses to speak any word, standing beside him like the dumb.

Gu Changle notices her and asks her with a smile, “Miao Miao, long time no see. Do you miss your little aunt?”

Gu Miaomiao raises her head and purses her pink lips. Her big watery eyes are as cute as that of a kitten.

Gu Changle looks at her with a smile, but the girl still keeps silent.

The smile on Gu Changle’s face fades away due to the embarrassment. Perceiving the change on his aunt’s face, Gu Yi busily pinches his sister’s hand.

Then, Gu Miaomiao says a word with great effort, “Yes.”

“I do…”

Gu Miaomiao has some words left, but before she finishes it, Gu Yi interrupts and says to Gu Changle, “Little Aunt, Miaomiao said that she wanted to see Dr. Wang’s parrot. Have he brought it today?”

Gu Changle does not seem to want to talk to the two children. When she hears Gu Yi’s question, she wishes the two children will hurry out. She says, “Go and ask Dr. Wang with your sister. Dr. Wang’s office is quite near.”

Gu Yi takes his sister’s hand and goes out.

Before leaving, he turns back and has a word with Shao Tianze who lovingly sends them out and tells him to take care of his sister.

As soon as the two children leaves, Gu Changle’s beautiful eyebrows are brought together. Gazing at Shao Tianze, she says, “You are very kind to this daughter!”

Her remark is acid and a bit prickly.

Shao Tianze goes to her bedside, sits in a chair and looks at her unhappy face. “Why, do you get jealous for a child? She’s my daughter.”

Gu Changle sneers, very discontentedly: “Look at the face of Miaomiao, it’s almost carved in the same mold with Gu Changge. You say that she’s your daughter. But I find no features inherited from you on her face.”

Shao Tianze looks at Gu Changle’s angry appearance and says in a light tone, “Do you dislike Miaomiao?”

“Don’t you hate her? She looks so similar to Gu Changge that people feel afraid when they see her.”

Shao Tianze lowers his voice as if he is tired, “MiaoMiao is only six years old. She knows nothing.”

As Gu Changle remembers that the man in front of her is Gu Changge’s husband who has a son and a daughter, she feels as uncomfortable as being pricked by needles: “Since she resembles my elder sister a lot, it’s hard to guarantee that, in the future, she will not grow up into an ironwoman like her mother.”

After that, there is slight displeasure on Shao Tianze’s face. She frowns, looks at him sadly and murmurs, “I thought you would not let her get pregnant.”

Shao Tianze raises his hand to touches her hair and smiles faintly: “Changle, you have stayed at home with Changge for so many years. Don’t you know what kind of person she is?”

Gu Changle stops talking. Of course, she knows Gu Changge well.

She always saves for a rainy day, making long-term plans, as if everything will be calculated and anticipated by her. Besides, she keeps heavy suspicion of everything.

She is suspicious and vicious. She will adopt cruel means to achieve what she wants without leaving any hint of a trace.

Even if Shao Tianze wants to set her up, he also has to make a big plan that lasts several years.

Shao Tianze goes forward, bends over and pulls her into his arms. He kisses her forehead gently: “I know you hate me for marrying Gu Changge. But if I hadn’t married her and brought her children, what qualifications would I have to stand in the Gu family?”

All in all, the two children’s greatest role is to make him qualified to stand in the business hall of the Gu family.

Without the children born by Gu Change, nobody would care about his identity as the husband of Gu Changge.

Gu Changge’s relatives have enough reason to expel him from his home.

However, with Gu Changge’s children, things are quite different.

No one dares to mess up with him, because the first inheritance right of Gu’s family is in the hands of Gu Changge’s children.

Even if Shao Tianze was expelled from his home, those relatives could not shake the important position of his children.

As the first guardian for his children, he takes it for granted that he masters Gu’s family before they became adults.

But……

Gnashing her teeth, Gu Changle whispers, “Tianze, I want you to give Gu’s family to our son.”

Shao Tianze embraces her and gently opens her mouth: “Of course, Changle, only our children are qualified to be the rulers of this huge industry.”

Only when Gu Changle hears that does she shallowly raise a smile in Shao Tianze’s arms.

However, deep in the eyes of the laughter, there is a chilling and poisonous feeling.

Gu Changge’s children should not continue to stand on the peak of Gu’s business, she thinks.

Now, Gu Changge is dead. Everything should be theirs.

Otherwise, all their years of enduring will be in vain.

Song Yunxuan leaves the hospital.

There is car whistling on the road beside her. She turns back but finds no one. Then she goes on.

But just after a few steps, she is caught up by a sapphire-blue Ferrari.

Song Yunxuan looks sideways. The window glass is slowly winded down and Chu Mochen’s handsome face comes out in slow motion.

Song Yunxuan looks at him coldly. “I’m looking for you.”

“Get on the car.” Chu Mochen smiles at her gently.

Song Yunxuan frowns, glaring at his smile.

Chu Mochen seems to feel her unhappiness. Instead of driving immediately after she gets on the car, he leans over to help her fasten her safety belt.

Looking at his behavior, she is somewhat disgusted: “I do it` myself.”

“You don’t know about the wedding announcement until now?”

As soon as Song Yunxuan hears his words, she knows that Chu Mochen has already known the reason why she is looking for him.

And the reason why Chu Mochen knows everything is that his eldest brother has called Chu Mochen in advance, fearing that his younger sister would offend him when she meets him.

Song Yunxuan does not deny: “Why don’t you tell me the wedding announcement?”

“I’m going to marry you, as long as my family issues a marriage letter, your father agrees. You don’t need to be informed.”

Chu Mochen’s statement is very orderly and reasonable, and there is nothing wrong with it.

As for business families where interest conflicts prevail, every marriage needs to be considered in the perspective of advantages and disadvantages from the planning at the beginning to the completion of preparation, and the two people who get married are just two dolls in front of the media.

The final say on whether should they get married is not held by the bride or the bridegroom, but by the two families which have good foresight.

Of course, Chu Mochen is absolutely not a doll in the Chu family.

Chu Mochen can control his own life completely without external pressure, and he doesn’t need to stoop low to marry a woman he doesn’t like for the sake of commercial interests.

Otherwise, he would not be at ease at the age of getting married and setting up his own family.

While Gu Changge, whose age is the same as him, is already the mother of two children, he doesn’t even have a gossip girlfriend.

Previously, the gossip in Yuncheng was still discussing whether Chu’s only son had any special hobbies preventing him from being a lover.

Now, the only son of the Chu family has chosen his fiancée overnight.

Moreover, the spouse is not the right one.

Song Yunxuan can’t refute what he said.

“Chu Mochen, it is a disrespect to me to issue the wedding news without consulting my opinion.”

Chu Mochen helps her fasten her seat belt, drives forward and steps on the accelerator pedal: “I will abandon you in order to respect you.”

Song Yunxuan frowns at Chu Mochen. “Why did you do this? I can give you whatever you want from me, but I can’t marry you. Do you understand?

Looking at the road ahead, Chu Mochen is absorbed in driving.

Hearing Song Yunxuan’s voice beside him, which gets excited, he looks at her face sideways. Suddenly, he gives an irrelevant answer, “You are beautiful.”

Song Yunxuan is stunned.

Chu Mochen then says, “You certainly haven’t looked in the mirror carefully.”

Song Yunxuan is a little irritated: “What do you really want to say?”

Chu Mochen drives the car to the coastal highway of Yuncheng, and the scenery outside the window changes as it moves fast backward. Looking ahead, Chu Mochen seems to be thinking of something: “I used to know a beautiful woman, but her style of action was the same as that of men so that all men would keep away from her out of fear. And it seems ridiculous to try to conquer her.”

Song Yunxuan knows he is talking about Gu Changge.

Chu Mochen lowers the glass a little, and a fresh sea breeze blows in from the coastal highway.

He squints slightly at the distant mountains, the blue sea, the fine sand and the reefs.

The scenery of Yuncheng is so beautiful that makes people linger on and forget to return to their home.

However, Chu Mochen’s eyes are not intoxicated with this scene, but a kind of faint compassion: “But, this beautiful woman did not stop to see what else is around her besides money, power and interests.”

Song Yunxuan giggles strangely. Looking at the distance, and she says bleakly: “Hatred.”

Although she says it in a low voice, it is clearly heard by Chu Mochen.

Chu Mochen brakes abruptly and pulls over along the coastal highway.

Because of his sudden braking, Song Yunxuan plunges forward unsteadily.

Fortunately, there is a seat belt on her body, otherwise, such a sudden brake will surely knock her head on the front glass which will certainly make her die or disabled.

The car with superior performance suddenly comes to a halt after a rapid rush.

Song Yunxuan’s hair falls from her ear and covers half of her face. She raises her hand to pull it behind her ear.

She turns to Chu Mochen and says, “What? Am I wrong?”

“You’re right” Chu Mochen grasps the steering wheel tightly with both hands. He seems to be angry but can’t easily vent it.

Realizing his bad mood, Song Yunxuan undoes her safety belt by herself, says, “I feel that you may not be fit to drive now. Let me get off first, then, you can chill out.”

Chu Mochen grips her hand which is untying the belt. He suddenly raises his head up, staring her in the eyes with his steely eyes, “What kind of relationship do you have with Shao Tianze?”

Chapter 40: Kill Her!

Song Yunxuan spends a tough night.

But when she wakes up in the middle of the night, she feels the cold sweat on her forehead head. As she recalls her dream, what she dreams of is not Shao Tianze and Gu Changle, but Chu Mochen.

In her dream, Chu Mochen kisses her.

On her wedding, it is Chu Mochen who puts a ring on her finger and promises the priest that he would accompany her forever.

She also dreams that when she gives birth to her first child, it is Chu Mochen who kisses her on her cheeks and tells her sadly, “Don’t give any birth more.”

She smiles at him: “How can we stop before we get a daughter?”

Yeah, she wants to have a daughter and make her lead a powerful life as herself.

However, when she has a daughter, she can’t watch her daughter grow into a woman like her.

She covers her face, curls up in bed, waiting quietly for the dawn.

She even thinks that if Gu Changge married Chu Mochen instead of Shao Tianze, would it be the opposite today?

But there is no “If” in the world.

Shao Tianze’s gentle face goes as fierce and twisted as a devil in her repeated reflections which breaks into her heart again and again, crushing all her vulnerabilities into powder.

Her blood in her body becomes cold and steely, and she begins to become tough and hard.

The next morning, she gets up for breakfast and then gets ready to go out.

Song Yunqiang is always looking at someone behind her.

Song Yunxuan can understand whom Song Yunqiang is looking for. Maybe his eldest brother will think that there must be Chu Mochen who spent the night sleeping with her.

But in fact, Chu Mochen had already left last night.

Such a man just feels that the woman he can’t get is charming. And if he gets her, the thrill may only last a few days.

When She is ready to go out, the LCD TV in the room is still broadcasting Yuncheng Business Channel.

“Yesterday, the stock market experienced a great shock with some stocks turnover rose. Some experts make the joke that all shareholders begin to rush to buy Chu and Song’s listed shares… due to the coming wedding between the only son of Chu and the youngest daughter of Song.”

The announcer’s voice suddenly goes into Song Yunxuan’s ears.

With a feeling of being shocked in her eyes, she suddenly turns back.

Simultaneously, Song Yunqiang is also astonished. He turns off the TV in a haste.

Song Yunxuan frowns: “Brother, why don’t you inform me before publishing the news about my wedding?”

“Yunxuan, you listen to the elder brother’s explanation, Yunxuan? Yunxuan!!!

Song Yunxuan goes out.

Unconsciously feeling bad, Song Yunqiang is about to chase her outside.

At this time, a voice suddenly comes from the second floor: “Now that she knows, let her go. I don’t think she will be confused about her position in the Song family.”

Song Yunqiang has to stop his step: “But, Dad, what if Yunxuan strongly insists on not marrying Chu Mochen…”

Song Yan interrupts him: “Although Yunxuan is young, she won’t be silly enough to do that.”

Song Yunqiang has no choice but to let Song Yunxuan go.

Song Yunxuan makes more than a dozen phone calls to Chu Mochen, with no answer.

She simply picks up a taxi to Chu’s company.

Noticing her anxious and agitated face, the taxi driver drives very fast.

When the car passes by the People’s Hospital, Song Yunxuan is stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, she says, “Stop.”

The driver dares not delay, so he stops immediately

After pays the bill, Song Yunxuan gets out of the car. She looks up at the big Chinese characters hung upstairs on the wall of the outpatient clinic with a wicked scheme conceived in her heart.

Many people murmur as they enter the hospital…

“I heard that Gu Changge’s sister lives here.”

“Is it the girl into whom her sister’s heart is transplanted?”

“Yes, I heard that she has a good relationship with her brother-in-law.”

Someone begins to frown: “Would they have a romantic relationship?”

Someone laughs and explains, “Even if they have an affair, there is nothing to worry about. Gu Changle is an adopted child who shares different blood with her sister. As long as the adoption relationship is terminated, it is illegal for her to marry her ex-brother in law.”

Then some people begin to question the truth.

Song Yunxuan does not listen to these people’s gossip, so she drops her eyelids, curbs the steely feeling in her eyes, and heads for the hospital’s inpatient department.

She had ever been to Gu Changle’s ward once, so she has a deep impression of that ward.

This time, without Song Yunjia leading the way, she is still able to find the location of the ward very smoothly.

She moves on without any hesitation or uncertainty.

When she gets on the elevator, someone was crying loudly whom she just gives an indifferent glance at.

Every day in this hospital, people die. Anyway, the deceased can’t be brought back to life by the tears of their relatives.

But it seems to outsiders that it’s better to have someone cry than no one.

When she died, no one shed tears for her.

Before she died, the only person she saw was Shao Tianze who was eager to watch her dying. Why should he cry?

She comes out of the elevator and takes steps to the door of Gu Changle’s ward when it is exactly visiting time.

Looking at her calm face, others regard her as an appointed relative who comes to visit the patients. No doctor or nurse stops her.

Song Yunxuan puts her hand on the handle of the door of the ward and opens it with a gentle twist.

The air inside is quiet, clean curtains and exquisite decoration make this ward look very healthy without any sense of morbidity.

The exquisite and luxurious sofa of white leather is placed in the ward, several magazines and a cup on a delicate glass tea table.

The magazine is a financial one and the teacup, a mug.

She can tell that these two things belong to Shao Tianze.

It seems that Shao Tianze was here last night. He just left this morning.

It’s over eight o’clock in the morning. The doctor checked the room just now. Gu Changle seems to have fallen asleep.

Song Yunxuan carefully shuts the door and moves step by step towards Gu Changle’s bed.

She suffers the pain in her heart as if she’s been bitten by innumerable insects which makes her fists clench tightly and her eyes begin to turn red slowly.

Gu Changle lays on her side. She turns over uncomfortably to find a better position, remaining asleep.

Song Yunxuan looks at her with her steely eyes, like a sharp knife to be used in poking a hole in Gu Changle’s neck which bleeds her to death.

She walks forward, as light as a ghost.

A crack is opened in the window of the room from which the breeze blows in, stirring the corners of her clothes and hair.

She stares at the woman in bed with her black eyes.

Then, she can’t help raising her hands as if the devil takes her over.

Her fingers are slender and clean, and her nails, round like bright pink shells on the beach.

At this time, however, her fingers are stretching out one by one.

She puts them on Gu Changle’s neck loosely, prepared to tighten them later——

“Dad, when will Mom come back?”

Suddenly the voice of a little boy comes.

Song Yunxuan is stunned and frozen out of a sudden.

Then there comes the voice of a little girl: “Dad, did you quarrel with your mother?”

Shao Tianze’s gentle voice rings out: “Miaomiao, how can you say so about Dad? Don’t you know? Mom is dad’s baby. Mom is dad’s favorite. ”

Lying.

Shao Tianze is lying.

Song Yunxuan holds her hands back, steps back with cold and poisonous feelings in her eyes: “Such a cheater.”

Gu Changle is still sleeping. Song Yunxuan‘s furious eyes slowly calm down as she hears the voices of her two children.

Like a kind sister, she raises her hands, puts them on Gu Changle’s forehead, and gently parts her hair away. But her eyes are still sharp and cold as a thin knife: “You are not qualified to let me kill you by myself, my children will not want to have such an impulsive mother as me.”

Gu Changle is still sleeping.

Her voice is low. Gu Changle just frowns and shakes her head like a nightmare to wake up.

Song Yunxuan leans over her ear. As if to blend words into the air, she slowly opens her mouth, saying in a gentle voice: “You will soon reap what you sow. Out of my mercy, I just inform you first.”

After that, she bends her lips, takes back her hands with benevolence in her eyes. Then she turns around and leaves.

As soon as she leaves the room, Shao Tianze comes at the door of the ward with his two children.

Finding the door is half-opened, Shao Tianze pauses. Then he opens it, being met with no visitor inside.

His eldest son Gu Yi grabs his left hand while his youngest daughter Gu Miaomiao, his right hand.

The beautiful and lovely children’s age are respectively 7 and 6.

Song Yunxuan stands at the corner, looking at the two children.

She had a narrow escape from giving birth to her children which exhausted all her tenderness as a woman.

However, the two children know nothing about the fact that their mother had already been murdered.

What reasons would Shao Tianze invent to deceive the two children?

She feels curious, but she does not let her thoughts continue to spread.

Her feet are held still on the ground, but she wants to drive his legs to give the two children a hug.

Different feelings alter in her eyes. Finally, she resists the impulse, becoming cold.

A nurse approaches who notices her and says, “Miss, are you going to visit any patient?”

Song Yunxuan turns her head with her merciless eyes. “I’m done.”

After that, she turns around and leaves in an indifferent manner.

At the door of Gu Changle’s ward, seven-year-old Gu Yi distractedly looks at the corner where the nurse comes out.

Gu Miaomiao looks at his brother strangely. “Brother, have you seen mother?”

Gu Yi turns around and grabs her hand. His eyes are gentle: “Mom can’t come back for the time being. You have to wait for her patiently, will you?”

Pouting her lips, Gu Miaomiao wants to cry out of grievance: “But where did Mom go?”

Gu Yi also feels very embarrassed. He thinks about it before he says, “Dad said that Mom goes to a faraway place on business, so we may not see Mom for several years.”

Gu Miaomiao is sad with her silky black hair scattered over her shoulders.

Gu Yi touches her hair and pulls her into the ward. “Well, the little aunt seems to have a nightmare. Come and comfort her.”

Gu Miaomiao turns her head to look at Gu Changle, who suddenly gets up from the bed. Then she frowns.

Gu Changle wakes up nervously, she’s scared by the nightmare. She grabs Shao Tianze’s hand with her sweating palms. And her lips are pale due to the fear in her heart.

Shao Tianze asks her worriedly: “Are you OK? Nightmare?”

She turns her head, staring at him with a frightened feeling in her eyes. She says, “Gu Changge comes back! Gu Changge is back! She hasn’t……”

Before she pronounces the word “died”, Shao Tianze interrupts her, says, “Watch your mouth since Yi and Miaomiao are here.”

Chapter 35: Incarnation of the Devil

Chu Mochen’s actions become unconsciously rough.

Shackled by him, Song Yunxuan can’t help biting his lower lip because her fine porcelain-like skin is rubbed by his fingers.

However, a burning kiss from Chu Mochen falls on her sleek and sensitive shoulder. And a tender bite from his fine teeth makes her cry out.

She is particularly sensitive to pain.

The shoulder is bitten slightly though, the skin turns red when Chu Mochen stands up and looks at it again.

There is a fiery desire in Chu Mochen’s eyes as he observes her half-naked body as well as her straggly hairs.

Song Yunxuan wants to curl her body up. But Chu Mochen puts his lips on her neck again, says, “Is it painful?”

“Let me go…” She inhales. She is like a fish out of water when she is kissed by him. She suppresses the tears in her eyes, demanding stubbornly, “Let go.”

“Do you want me to be gentle?”

“You let go of me!” She shouts out loud in a hoarse and exhausted voice, “Let me go!”

She tries to pull her hands out of his and twist her body off his control.

Looking at her frenzied and resisting appearance, Chu Mochen finds that her eyes are red which is scarce, sparkling with tears. It makes people feel that she is as pitiful as a torn flower branch after the rain.

“Yunxuan…”

“Let me go!” She is red-eyed, just blindly repeating this sentence.

Chu Mochen feels reluctant to continue. After all, she is only eighteen years old, an innocent girl. There is no need to conquer her by such a crude and brutal means.

However, as long as the pitiful tears in her eyes dissipate, she will become an iron lady who is too cool to get approached as if she has no personal desires.

His fingers loosen slowly.

Song Yunxuan gets up from bed, with her coat being torn open, and her underwear buttons are about to be unfastened.

She quickly wraps her clothes around her shoulders, trying to jump out of bed and leave the room without even setting up her loose hair.

Just as she gets out of bed, a golden card suddenly falls from her pocket.

She looks down unconsciously and stoops to pick it up.

But he picks up the golden card with his long, bony fingers before she does.

In a moment she hesitates, and then looks up at the person who picked up the card.

What she meets are Chu Mochen’s frightening eyes that are full of anger.

For a moment, she feels that the man wants to pinch her neck to death.

So, for the first time since her rebirth, she has the idea of running away.

She involuntarily takes a step backward.

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Chu Mochen reads the words on the card clearly.

After that, he does not come close to her with the overwhelming pressure, but says coldly, “Where do you get Shao Tianze’s business card?”

She stops, stubbornly and arrogantly: “I don’t need to explain it for you.”

“Come over and I’ll give you my business card.” He looks at the card. And a smile hangs on the corners of his lips. It is a faint smile as if he wants to try his best to be gentle, but there is always a wild animal’s blood-thirsty desire brewing in his eyes.

Song Yunxuan neither wants to go back nor escape from this situation.

Slowly, she stretches out her hand and raises it inch by inch.

The slender fingers, as white as the scallions, carries the soft and graceful femininity of a woman. But the owner of the hand is determined to spoil the natural beauty of her body.

When she reaches out to ask for this business card, the flames in Chu Mochen’s heart burst out.

As soon as he throws the card and grasps her hand, she is dragged into his arms. His voice is as gloomy as the dark clouds, rumbling near her ears: “Anyway, are you going to spare no effort to seduce Shao Tianze?”

Song Yunxuan’s heart suddenly contracts and her pupils shake violently. Then, slowly, she answers, “Yes.”

This answer seems to be the blasting fuse, which directly grinds the remaining tenderness of Chu Mochen’s heart into ashes.

Chu Mochen uses his powerful arms to pick her up, and she struggles hard to escape from him.

However, this man at this time tears apart all his courteous disguise, making the silent implementation of the most advantageous action.

She refuses to approach the bed. So, he just presses her against the wall. Holding her waist, with no mercy, he penetrates straight into her world.

She feels dizzy as if the ceiling is spinning, crying hoarsely and desperately to ask the man to let her go.

But what rings in the ear is the opposite, the more and more distinct heavy gasp.

Hoarse and crazy.

The air is full of a man’s utterly crazy roar of hoarseness.

Song Yunxuan can’t stand the pain, and finally she goes unconscious.

Just before she faints, she remembers that there are warm lips stuck on her eyebrows. And he mutters hoarsely, “You drives me crazy… Changge.”

Changge…

Gu Changge.

When she was still Gu Changge, she had never thoroughly understood what kind of man Chu Mochen is. Even she could not imagine that he would have such a frightening side.

Just because he’s a man.

A man who is diametrically different from Shao Tianze.

Again, she suffers from her nightmare. Confused, twisting her body, she tries to cover her heart with both hands.

She feels her heart is cut by someone with a knife, leaving a big hole into which the cold wind blows.

She cries and screams sadly, “No… No! No!”

Next to her, someone holds her hand. She feels her face is touched by a warm palm. He urgently calls out to her, “Yunxuan, Yunxuan?”

“Changge? Changge?”

When the two names overlap, she has no idea who is calling her Gu Chang Song or Song Yunxuan.

She just tries to see the eyes of a man with a bloody face and a knife in his hand.

“No… No, I’m going to kill you… I’m going to kill you!”

“Yunxuan!”

Abruptly, there is a sharp shout.

She opens her eyes out of a sudden.

With a pair of eyes that are like reborn after death, she stares at the man whose shoulders are naked in front of her.

The man breathes a sigh of relief after he notices that she wakes up. He touches her cheek with his fingers, soothing her as gently as he can: “Have a nightmare? Don’t be afraid, I’m with you…

“Bang”

Without any warning, she quickly gets up and slaps the man in the face. She just hit the man who was at ease because he had just woken her up from the nightmare.

Chu Mochen is startled, feeling hot pain on his face.

This is not the first time that Song Yunxuan hits him.

Song Yunxuan calms her breathing disorder caused by nightmares. She lifts up the sheets, picks up the clothes on the ground and begins to wear them on. Like a stranger, she says, “You have got what you want, now go, I don’t want to see you.”

“You shouted so loudly last night that your family already knew what had happened.”

Song Yunxuan grits her teeth tightly, and her eyelashes droop down. She is stunned for a moment and does not know how to answer.

It’s just a sense of shame, from her head to her toes.

Chu Mochen does not want to get dressed up and leave, it seems. He says, “Even if the sound of your crying came out, no one came to knock on the door to stop me.”

“No one can stop animals.”

“They don’t care about you at all.”

He reaches the point, exposing Song Yunxuan’s weakness.

She turns her head with an angry expression. The sharp light in her eyes almost eats Chu Mochen alive.

Chu Mochen breathes in with his thick black hair hung disorderly on his forehead. And his eyes are covered by several strands of hair.

Looking at her, he says, “If you marry me, I will take care of you.”

“Don’t talk anymore. If you don’t go now, I’ll call the cops. And they will arrest you for rape!”

Chu Mochen can’t help but chuckle. “Unless you want to destroy yourself.”

Yes, her only value now is to marry Chu Mochen.

If she loses her value, the Song family will abandon her without hesitation.

Song Yunxuan is caught out, standing in place for a while and unable to move.

Chu Mochen has been playing against her since their childhood. Finally, he wins.

He gets out of the bed. His body is strong, slender and sexy. Yet, in the eyes of Song Yunxuan, it is of no attractive.

Chu Mochen pulls her clothes over her shoulders and pulls her back to the bed. She sits down on the bed. And he crouches down to look up at her. “Yunxuan, I know you are not an ordinary woman.”

Of course, she is a special woman. She had lived an honorable life, but ended up with a broken leg and a pierced heart. How could she be willing to be ordinary again?

“But Yunxuan, you can’t accomplish your ultimate goal by your own strength.”

Song Yunxuan can’t help laughing and looking at him with disdain: “Do I need to depend on you?”

“You want the whole Song family, don’t you?”

Song Yunxuan’s smile on her face is gradually restrained.

She knows that if the man can see through her, he’s going to stop her.

“I won’t stand in your way.”

Song Yunxuan says, “What do you want?”

“Don’t destroy yourself.”

Chu Mochen puts on a serious expression in his eyes.

Looking at his face, Song Yunxuan recalls that when she was eighteen years old, she was smiling under the attention of the media, holding the property division agreement signed by her father.

At that time, Chu Mochen, who came to her birthday party, looked at her with a somber look and said nothing.

She was so happy. But at the end of the event when he brushed past her, he left her several simple words, “Do not destroy yourself.”

However, she was eventually ruined.

She got destroyed by his husband, the man who covets the colossal fortune of her family.

No one had helped her or stopped her falling.

Now that she doesn’t believe in men, how can she destroy herself?

She can’t figure it out or understand it.

However, Chu Mochen holds up her hand and kisses her ring finger gently: “This time, I will stop you.”

Song Yunxuan can’t help staring at the man who looks up at her. For a moment, she forgets to retreat her hand from him.

Chu Mochen.

He says that he will stop her.

How does he stop her?

Her hatred drives her to rush forward even if she would be crushed to pieces.

Her desire for revenge is too strong to be terminated. She is like a flying moth darting into the fire.

Unless someone breaks her wings.

Perhaps, her wings have long gone because she has become an invincible devil.

Chapter 34: Make You a Woman

Song Yunxuan has a very nasty feeling in her heart about Chu Mochen’s arrival.

Chu Mochen comes for a showdown.

If the old man knew that Xue Tao was knocked unconscious by her with a bottle of wine, he would definitely treat her as a harm to the Song family and clean her up.

No, no, no, absolutely not.

She is Gu Changge. She will never allow her revenge plan to be destroyed like this.

With a bang, she pushes the door open.

Some of the loud noises echo abruptly in the old man’s room.

Song Yan and Chu Mochen, who are chatting very happily in the room, turn their heads to the door at the same time.

Song Yunxuan stands at the doorway, glaring at Chu Mochen with her steely eyes.

Chu Mochen’s eyes meet that of hers. And he notices the obvious hostility in her eyes. He shakes his head slightly with a sense of being amused: “You’re back.”

Song Yunxuan ignores him, but goes straight into the room. In order to calm down, she closes the door as gently as possible and then walks towards her father, Song Yan.

“Yunxuan, why don’t you talk to Mochen?” Song Yan blames her in a way that hides his great dislike towards her.

He can tell that Chu Mochen is really interested in his little daughter. If he shows any disgust with her in front of Chu Mochen, Chu family will have a bad impression on the Song family after they get related by marriage.

Because of this, Song Yan’s attitude toward Song Yunxuan is much kinder than usual.

Hearing her father’s voice, Song Yunxuan is shocked slightly. Soon after, she understands what her father is thinking.

Previously, she had been hustling in Yuncheng’s commercial circle for so many years. So she is already very familiar with the games in the big families. Song Yan changes his attitude today. She can easily guess that it is because of Chu Mochen.

Because of this, she turns her head, looking at Chu Mochen intentionally.

Chu Mochen has a handsome face, muscular shoulders, and a straight back. When he notices Song Yunxuan is looking at him, he gently lifts up his lips and smiles in a harmonious and charming way.

Men in their thirties or so, who come from a well-known family, having all the three factors that girls can’t resist, are really attractive and excellent.

However, this is not what Song Yunxuan after.

Her father is sitting in a wheelchair with a soft blanket on his legs. She wraps her skirt up gently and then kneels down in front of his wheelchair, not with a humble attitude, but with the filial one.

“Dad, you look much better today.”

The opening remarks are very dull, but she thinks that Song Yan should like her lines very much, which can show his children’s filial piety to him as well as their tenderness and delicacy.

In this way, Chu Mochen will like it when he sees it.

In a deeper sense, the Chu family will prefer it while they’re watching it.

Song Yan nods and smiles kindly: “Yunxuan, Dad is much better today. Why did you suddenly come in without knocking the door?”

“I…”

As soon as she is about to speak, Chu Mochen says in a mellow voice: “I’m afraid that Yunxuan knew I was here, so she forgot to knock at the door.”

This answer pleases Song Yan a lot: “Mochen, you know her personality better than I do. I am still kept in the dark by her.”

Song Yan’s laughter does show great love for her daughter, but what he said surprised Song Yunxuan: “Dad, what do you mean?”

Song Yan shakes his head. He is angry at his daughter’s deliberate deception: “Yunxuan, since the die is cast, why don’t you tell Dad? Dad won’t blame you. ”

“um…” She frowns, wondering why her father is so happy. “Dad, what do you mean by saying that?”

Song Yan frowns and looks seriously at Chu Mochen. “Mochen has told me that the time you met each other was the night you went to Xue Tao.”

In this way, Song Yunxuan’s face turns pale.

She leans back in some surprise. Chu Mochen immediately supports her from the behind, softly says, “The floor is cold, get up to continue our conversation.”

Chu Mochen’s movements are very gentle, but Song Yunxuan’s face seems to be swept over by the cold winter wind, in a pale color.

The meaning of Song Yan’s sentence is not difficult to understand. Obviously, he’s already known what happened that night.

Chu Mochen has told him everything.

Chu Mochen supports Song Yunxuan, whose eyes are instantly filled with a layer of haze and anger as if someone stabs her on her back.

She raises her hand to cover that of his. With the resentment in her heart is almost transformed into the force applied to her nails, she pinches his big hand so hard that Chu Mochen’s hands are bleeding.

However, even though she tries so hard, Chu Mochen still keeps a decent smile. Even when her fingernails pinch into his skin, he does not frown.

Song Yan can’t help but nods satisfactorily when he finds that Chu Mochen’s gesture of lifting her up is very tender and gentle.

Chu Mochen perceives Song Yunxuan’s pale face. As he holds her, he says to Song Yan, “I don’t think Yunxuan is very comfortable, so I’d better send her to the room to rest first.”

“Well, that’s all right.” Song Yan nods, looking at Song Yunxuan’s pale face. He finds that drooped long black eyelashes are trembling slightly as if she is frightened, covering the expression in her eyes. He assures her by saying, “Yunxuan, Mochen is a responsible man. Therefore, you need not to be worried. He has made a proposal to you.

Hearing that, Song Yunxuan’s body shivers violently. And she looks up at Chu Mochen suspiciously.

Chu Mochen notices that her pale little face does not have a trace of pleasure instead there are a pure shock and a slight frown.

Since Song Yan is here, he has to pat her on the back and comfort her gently. “Well, I’ll tell you this alone. First, I’ll send you back to your room for a rest.”

Song Yunxuan does not resist. She is led to her barn like a sheep following Chu Mochen.

Song Yan sees the two people go out. The loving smile on his face fades gradually, and the expression in his eyes begins to become relaxed and tired.

“The boy of the Chu family, as a matter of fact, is in love with the daughter of Caidie.”

The impression of Song Yunxuan’s mother has faded in his mind, but he can still vaguely remember the beautiful appearance of the little star when she first appeared 18 years ago.

One daughter of the Song family marries to the Chu family, which also can be called climbing the high branch. The daughter of Fan Caidie is somewhat useful.

When Song Yunxuan is sent to the room by Chu Mochen, she is quiet and gentle which is so rare.

Seeing her in such a pitiful appearance, Chu Mochen can’t help hugging her from behind and kissing her earlobe gently after he closes the door.

With such a kiss imprinted on the earlobe, Song Yunxuan immediately pulls back her mind.

She turns around and raises her hand so as to give Chu Mochen a big slap in the face.

Unfortunately, at the moment when her hand has just been raised, Chu Mochen grabs her wrist with his powerful hand, then pushes her, pressing her whole body against the wall.

“You let go of me! Damn it! Hmm… Ah…”

No matter how she struggles, Chu Mochen grasps her hands and raises them over her head. He attaches his thin lips to her face and her skin, giving her burning kisses.

Her skin is as delicate as porcelain, with the fragrance of a girl.

However, Song Yunxuan refuses to respond as the same as other women who are eager to be kissed by him.

She avoids his kiss, gritting her teeth tightly and refusing to let his kiss invade her mouth.

When Chu Mochen holds her earlobe, Song Yunxuan can’t help uttering a painful groan.

That is how it felt that night.

In her sleep, Chu Mochen kissed her earlobe like this.

With a little fierce hatred, he gives her hot and sexy kisses as if to swallow her into his belly.

She had never been treated so cruelly. She turns her head, wanting to speak something.

Chu Mochen suddenly says hoarsely, “Are you going to marry me?”

“You’re crazy.”

Song Yunxuan’s voice trembles slightly.

She really feels that Chu Mochen is mad.

According to the routines of the Chu family, the girls whom Chu family proclaim to marry are all from powerful prominent families in Yuncheng.

And Song Yunxuan is just a bastard of the Song family.

How could Chu Mochen be so mad? Is it really because he likes Song Yunxuan’s face?

As if to understand her inner thoughts, Chu Mochen no longer kisses her. He slightly stays away from her with his eyes as tranquil and mystique as a lake, looking at her eyes: “I want to marry you, not because of your face.”

“Chu Mochen,” she gasps, even with some compromise that would not easily appear, “I know I can’t change your mind now. If you want to hold me, I won’t refuse. But you can’t marry me anyway.”

“I want to marry you!” He has a determined voice.

Song Yunxuan looks at him unbelievably, as if she can’t understand why he made such a funny decision.

“Don’t you like my body?”

“Of course.” Chu Mochen does not deny it.

Song Yunxuan takes a breath, trying to calm herself down. Then she undresses her clothes, saying, “I’ll give it to you.”

Chu Mochen pinches her tiny chin with his fingers to force her to look into his eyes. “Song Yunxuan, you are not a woman soliciting on the street. Before you sell your body, think it over!”

Song Yunxuan’s eyes are so hollow as if it isn’t him reflected in her pupils even though she looks straight at him in the eyes.

Her voice is gentle but with a trace of chilly feeling: “You can rest assured that since you take my virginity, my body belongs to you only. No man other than you can touch me.”

Yeah, since it was given to this man for the first time.

If later this man would not disturb her, hindering her revenge, it is ok to give him a few more hugs?

It’s just a flirting game in which there is no true love.

There will always be sacrifices on the way forward. It’s just worthwhile or not to be sacrificed.

And Chu Mochen… Even if he gets her body today for free, maybe he still has to pay for it later.

Her eyes narrow, and a cold light wanders by.

Chu Mochen quickly catches the cold light in her eyes, gritting his teeth with hatred: “Song Yunxuan, you are not a woman at all!”

Song Yunxuan feels funny: “Who am I then?”

“Devil.” He separates his thin lips and vomits out the words with great force.

After a moment of hesitation, Song Yunxuan can’t help laughing. “You’re right, Chu Mochen.”

Chu Mochen hates her so much that he picks her up, goes to the bedside and throws her heavily on the bed.

Without waiting for her to resist, he leans over and presses his thin lips over her neck, which is tightened because she looks up. “I will make you a real woman.”

A tender and happy woman who will only teach her son and act as a servant of his husband, and who will not get colluded in meticulously calculating others.
