Chapter 32: Revenge Begins

After Fanxing magazine is classified as Song Yunxuan’s personal assets, the first issue of the magazine is released smoothly.

The revised magazine is named “ZUI Queen”, which shares one common Chinese Character with Song Yunying’s “ZUI Fashion”.

Most people think that Song Yunying’s magazines have new publications, so they buy them one after another.

Sales of magazines are also rising.

Its sales on the first day exceeds that of “ZUI Fashion”. And many readers are attracted by ZUI Queen due to its strategies such as creating and describing the powerful women in the workplace.

The Fanxing magazine is going to hold a banquet in a Korean restaurant to celebrate the sales of its first publication.

Song Yunxuan is also informed to attend it. But when she’s about to leave the magazine building, she finds a red limousine parked at the door of the magazine.

She has well eyesight and a good memory.

It suddenly occurs to her that this is the luxury car parked beside the fountain in the front yard of the Song family when she returned home that night.

She takes two steps forward, meanwhile, the man inside the car is about to open the door and get off immediately.

But only the sound of the door opening is heard, and the person inside does not come out.

She has guessed that it should belong to Song Yunying who wants to drive away at the sight of her.

She anticipates the bad thing to happen so that she busily rings Song Yunying up.

After Song Yunying picks up the phone, the first sentence Song Yunxuan says is not a greeting to her sister, but a serious warning: “Sister, what’s the hurry for? Do you want me to reveal your secret?”

Song Yunying stops the car without saying a word.

Song Yunxuan walks forward with steely eyes, opens the passenger’s door of her luxury car and bends down to sit in.

When her staff passes by, she deliberately lowers the window and says hello to her colleagues: “Say to my colleagues that I’ll be absent tonight because I’m going to have dinner with my sister.”

The magazine staff are surprised to see that the driver is Song Yunying.

Some even begin to discuss: “Miss Song’s sister is actually the second daughter of Song Family!”

“Then Miss Song…”

“The little daughter of Song Family!”

Everyone feels that they have discovered a big secret, but Song Yunying, who is driving, winds up the window in a vexed manner, then backs up, accelerates through the gate of Fanxing Magazine.

While driving in high speed, Song Yunying says in a quite sarcastic tone: “Yunxuan, I can’t imagine you dare to set up your own magazine company by purchasing.”

Song Yunxuan objects her: “Sister, the Song is a big family of businessmen. As the daughter of the Song family, I do my own business which is a very common thing that nobody should be surprised, isn’t it.”

Song Yunying sneers: “But, you know, Dad doesn’t want you to do business.”

“That’s why I let my sister stop the car,” says Song Yunxuan, looking sideways at Song Yunying, with a smile but in a cold voice. “Lest my sister tells father on me.”

Song Yunying’s mind has been seen through so that she no longer conceals it. She simply takes off the sunglasses on her face and throws them aside. She asks furiously, “I had come to meet the head of the magazine on purpose. Since you are the man in charge, I’ll just say that my magazine is called “ZUI Fashion”, while you also name your magazine as “ZUI Queen”, which is obviously misleading the audience to purchase your product, using our company’s influence to improve your sales.

Song Yunxuan does not deny: “Sister, this is just a marketing strategy which is legal”

“But you…”

Song Yunxuan interrupts her in a cool voice, persuading her strongly, “Sister, instead of discussing the company’s performance with me, the most important thing for you now is to keep healthy and then give birth to the eldest son of Xue family safely. Otherwise, you will become a failure in marriage even if you turn the magazine office into a hegemony business of Yuncheng.

After that, she can’t help laughing. “I don’t think Xue Tao is an honest man. You can’t satisfy him because of your pregnancy now. But, remember to keep a close eye on him. Don’t get deceived by the Apple of Sodom.”

She means something else.

Everyone knows that Xue Tao is a playboy who often hooks up with beautiful women in Yuncheng. Before marriage, Xue Tao is surrounded by countless beautiful women. After getting married… It’s still possible of his promiscuous behavior.

Song Yunying has been hinted in such a way that her face turns pale in an instant. But her tone is still hard: “Don’t talk about Xue Tao like that, he is not that kind of person.”

Song Yunxuan looks ahead leisurely and says, “You know whether he is such a person or not.”

Song Yunying has no intention of telling a complaint against her anymore. She pulls over suddenly, turns her head and then asks her out fiercely: “Get off!”

“Sister, don’t talk much.” When she gets off, she reminds Song Yunying faintly.

Song Yunying is upset: “I’m too lazy to take care of your shit!”

Song Yunxuan nods, closes the door and watches Song Yunying’s sports car running farther and farther on the highway: “Although you look down on my business now, however,” her eyes suddenly flashes, “a single spark can start a prairie fire!”

Her voice is faint, but she has a kind of courage and domineering power that can’t be ignored.

When she looks at her watch, she finds that she can still catch up with the time to attend the magazine’s celebration banquet. But when she turns around, she notices a beauty salon on her opposite.

Suddenly an idea strikes her. Then she takes out her cell phone to call Shao Xue.

“Shao Xue, are you there?”

Shao Xue’s voice comes from the microphone: “Well, I didn’t go to the banquet.”

She wonders, ” You didn’t go to the banquet?”

“Well,” she says in a slight embarrassment, “I think I should take the initiative to say hello to Shao Tianze. He’s not off work yet.”

Song Yunxuan is stunned for a moment, but very quickly, from the depths of her eyes emerges a hint of appreciation: “You haven’t eaten yet, right? I’ll buy dinner and share it with you.”

“Thank you, Miss Song.”

“You’re welcome. Just call me Yunxuan.”

“Well.” Shao Xue’s voice is a little hesitant and a little worried.

Song Yunxuan soon buys fast food from a snack bar. Although she does not know whether Shao Xue has planned as she thought, Shao Xue’s initiative to approach Shao Tianze is a good start.

When she returns to the company, Shao Xue is waiting for her at the door. At the sight of the bento in her hands, she quickly comes to her, carrying it for Song Yunxuan.

They chat all the way back to the office where they look through the window at the door of Gu’s office building.

Song Yunxuan listens to Shao Xue’s explanation while eating the bento.

“I have observed that Shao Tianze leaves work at 5:30 PM every day and sometimes works half an hour overtime. Before he leaves work, a black private car will be parked in front of the gate which drives him home later.”

Song Yunxuan looks at her watch, “It’s 5:50 PM now.”

“Let’s go down, Miss Song.”

Song Yunxuan raises her eyebrows: “Hmm? What did you call me just now?

“Well, Yunxuan, we should go down.” Shao Xue can’t even.

Only when Song Yunxuan gets a satisfactory answer does she come downstairs with Shao Xue easily.

As soon as they come downstairs, they find a black Rolls-Royce slowly stop at the gate of Gu’s office building.

Looking at each other, they don’t even bother to guess— it is Shao Tianze’s private car.

Song Yunxuan can already see the shape of the car, and several numbers on license plates.

After her death, Shao Tianze seems to be afraid that the car she had used would be unlucky, so he has replaced the car and even the license plate with new ones.

She goes out with Shao Xue, talking about trivial things. After perceiving the license plate number of the car, she stops talking and keeps silent.

Feeling very strange, Shao Xue asks her, “Yunxuan, what’s wrong?”

Song Yunxuan shakes her head. Looking at Gu’s private car license plate number in front of his office building, she smiles, “This license plate number is my sister’s birthday.”

Yes, it’s Gu Changle’s birthday.

521 (Its homophone in Mandarin is “wo ai ni” which means I love you.)

I love you!

What a birthday, that is so easy to remember because of the implied meaning of its number.

Shao Tianze changes the license plate number of his private car to Gu Changle’s birthday, showing his love every day. It’s really a precious love.

She pouts her lips and smiles. She looks happy but full of coldness.

Shao Xue does not make any further question, nor does she know that Song Yunxuan has no sister at all.

Just after seeing Shao Tianze’s figure in distance, she bows her head and says, “He’s here.”

As soon as her sentence is finished, she hears a cry of pain from Shao Xue.

Song Yunxuan crouches to hold her arm. “Are you OK?”

Shao Xue gives her surreptitious wink. Song Yunxuan understands it and quickly touches her ankle. She asks anxiously, “Is your ankle hurt? I’ll take you to the hospital.”

“No, no, it’s all right…”

Shao Xue tries hard to get up from the ground with Song Yunxuan’s help several times but fails.

When Song Yunxuan finds it is difficult to pull Shao Xue up, she simply turns around and half squats down: “Come up, I’ll carry you.”

Then a familiar footstep comes hurriedly towards them.

Soon a man reaches out to pull Shao Xue up from the ground, then hugs her horizontally.

Both Song Yunxuan and Shao Xue are stunned.

It is Shao Tianze who holds her up.

There is no anxious expression on Shao Tianze’s face. Instead, he strides forward with her in his arms.

Being shocked, she immediately shouts angrily, “You let me go! Put me down!”

Shao Tianze frowns at Shao Xue’s struggle. He has to look back at Song Yunxuan, who is standing in the same place. He speaks in a warm voice: “Miss Yunxuan, can you accompany my sister to the hospital?”

Song Yunxuan doesn’t say anything, but she actually wants it.

Why not? What she’s waiting for is exactly this moment when the two parallel lines are finally joined by external forces.

And that’s just the beginning of her massive revenge plan.

She nods and walks towards him in a gentle and clever way.

It’s as easy as running to him for the first time on campus many years ago.

But this time, it is doomed not to be a happy and beautiful result.

This time, Gu Changge will not bring Shao Tianze into a marriage, making him a highly praised model husband in Yuncheng upper-class society.

This time, Gu Changge will personally send Shao Tianze to his grave, let him lose his reputation forever!

She strides forward as if she has the ability to shake the earth.

With him, she sits in a private car that is supposed to belong to her.

Having a glance at the agitation in Shao Tianze’s eyes, she smiles quietly – revenge begins.

Chapter 31: Visiting Gu Changle

Song Yunjia stops in front of the VIP ward on the eleventh floor and knocks gently at the door.

Inside comes a weak, silky voice: “Come in, please.”

Come in, please?

Song Yunxuan’s eyebrows bend slightly.

This sister is five years younger than herself. She has an oval face, big eyes, with a height of 1.65 meters, and a delicate and fragile body. She looks pure and harmless. She makes people feel her as holy and clean as a white lotus flower.

She hasn’t seen her for a long time. She really wants to know if she has changed the soft appearance after her heart has been replaced with Gu Changge’s in her chest.

Song Yunjia opens the door and lets Song Yunqiang carry things in first.

When Song Yunxuan arrives, Song Yunjia suddenly raises her arm stopping her, “You don’t know Changle, just wait outside.”

Song Yunxuan looks at Song Yunjia, but there is no emotion in her eyes.

Song Yunjia has no idea whether Song Yunxuan wants to go in or not, so she looks at her sister and stands at the door with her rigidly.

At this time, there suddenly appears a sound of footsteps from far to near in the corridor.

Then there comes a pleasant and low voice of a man: “Yunjia, what are you doing?”

Song Yunjia’s face changes. When she hears this voice, she immediately looks at the strangers with surprise as if she has waited for someone who has been longing for a long time. “Tianze, you are here.”

Tianze… Shao Tianze!

Song Yunxuan’s blood is surging in her heart. She turns her head and eyes to Shao Tianze.

Shao Tianze’s vision falls on Song Yunjia at first. And when he perceives the person who is stopped by Song Yunjia’s hand, his vision moves onto Song Yunxuan’s face.

“You…”

He unconsciously utters a word in a low voice. The narrow eyes on his handsome face obscures the flash of surprise in his eyes.

He steps over to stand in front of Song Yunxuan and Song Yunjia, smiling: “Yunjia, who is this lady?”

Song Yunjia glances at Song Yunxuan and gives Shao Tianze a brief introduction: “This is my father’s little daughter, who had been fostered in a small town before, and just came back a few days ago, called Song Yunxuan.”

Shao Tianze nods politely to Song Yunxuan, and then puts his eyes on the ward with concern: “I probably saw your eldest brother just now, did I?”

Song Yunjia puts down her hand and opens the door to let Shao Tianze in. “My eldest brother knows Changle has been allowed to be visited these days, so he comes to see Changle, hoping she can recover soon.”

Shao Tianze smiles at Song Yunjia. “Your family are really considerate and hospitable.”

Song Yunjia turns on a tender expression, despite she always has a cold face. And the expression in her eyes is very gentle. When she hears Shao Tianze say so, she nods gently.

Shao Tianze wants to go into the ward, calling them in by the way: “Changle can be visited for a short time. Come in.”

Shao Tianze nods gently to Yunxuan.

Song Yunxuan looks at his cute and gentle smile that she used to know it well, but she can’t respond to it in any way.

The coldness in her heart boils, about to gush out from her eyes. But she strives to restrain it so that finally she does not show the bitter hatred.

Of course, Song Yunjia wants to follow them in.

But Song Yunxuan does not move.

In the room there comes Shao Tianze’s attentive greeting to Gu Changle.

“Does it still hurt today?”

“It’s better now.”

“If it hurts, call me and I’ll be there for you.”

“Really, why did you skip your work and come to see me again? Didn’t you say that you should manage my sister’s company and work well?”

“You’re ill, it doesn’t matter.”

“Ha…”

Eventually, Song Yunxuan makes a sound of laughing.

She stands at the door and turns to see Song Yunjia, who has stops at the door without moving a step.

She finds that Song Yunjia is staring at the ward with her beautiful face covered with dark clouds of sadness and weakness.

Also, how can she not be sad at this time?

She has always been fond of Shao Tianze since she was in college, but he gave up Gu Changge for Gu Changle.

She helped Shao Tianze get rid of Gu Changge without complaint and regret. However, Gu Changge dies and Gu Changle lives well.

Seeing Song Yunjia’s sad expression, Song Yunxuan feels pity for her.

She always stands by the side of the man she loves. No matter what he does, she always tries her best to help him, but the man does not seem to notice her standing beside him all his life.

Song Yunxuan steps out of the ward and sits on the chair in the corridor. She smiles quietly and silently, looking at Song Yunjia in distress and sadness.

She takes out her cell phone to check it over, finding a message from Xiao Hong that Zhang Xiao has been successfully expelled.

She sends back an info to Xiao Hong, asking her to instruct the staff to make statistics on Yuncheng’s famous beauty agencies, and by the way, to make a report, and prepare to do a special issue of beauty for the next publication.

By sending her a message, Xiao Hong promises her and that she will do well so that she can rest assured.

Song Yunxuan only feels a bit assured since there are still some things need her to deal with in person.

Shortly after Shao Tianze enters the ward, Song Yunqiang comes out with a big smile.

Song Yunqiang and Song Yunjia go to the elevator together.

“Gu Changle is really a woman like Lin Daiyu (a character in Chinese Classics, Red Mansion, who is a noble lover famous for her delicate but sickly body). She is sentimental. She has been very sad since her sister died.”

“Well.” Song Yunjia nods. “She said she always dreamed of her sister recently.”

“Maybe it’s a heart problem. After all, it’s her sister’s organ.”

Song Yunxuan just listens to them without interruption.

After arriving downstairs, Song Yunqiang and Song Yunjia separate from each other. Before leaving, he still can’t help telling her, “Yunjia, Dad has been seriously ill, so you should come back when you have time.”

Song Yunjia nods perfunctorily: “I will go back home when I am free.”

Song Yunqiang can’t say anything else. He leads Song Yunxuan to get on the bus and leave.

After watching them get on the bus, Song Yunjia returns to the hospital at once. She seems to have deeper feelings for her patient than her family.

After getting on the bus, Song Yunxuan looks out of the window at the back of her elder sister entering the hospital and asks him in puzzlement, “Brother, why does elder sister not live at home?”

Song Yunqiang starts the car: “Your elder sister is a very reassuring person to my father. She has good grades in school as well as a pretty face, and she will not mess around. Our father found her personality quite peaceful so that he gave her the duplex building near the hospital as a birthday gift. She has been living there since she graduated from her internship.”

“Is she married?”

Of course, she knows that Song Yunjia is merely waiting for Shao Tianze to get married to her, but she still wants to hear about Song Yunqiang’s views on this matter.

Song Yunqiang does not seem to have any opinion on this matter, but says casually: “Although your elder sister is not young, she has no intention of getting married.”

After that, he has another interesting comment, “Maybe your elder sister has a good prospect that she will be able to marry Shao in the future.”

“But Mr. Shao’s wife has just died.”

Although Gu Changge is dead, she can’t believe that Shao Tianze will marry another wife within three years, making himself a fool, which is not good for him to control the family business.

If he wants to marry a wife, the remnants of Gu Changge must be cleaned up before he can do so.

Song Yunxuan looks out of the window at the street scene with the corners of her mouth slightly upward.

When she returns home in the evening, a red sports car is parked next to the fountain.

It is said that Song Yunying has come back home. Song Yunxuan feels tired. When she comes home, she finds her second sister Song Yunying in her father’s room. And she does not wait any longer.

At night, she locks the door and puts the bottle of sleeping pills in a conspicuous position. But she lies in bed only after drinking a cup of strong coffee.

In the middle of the night, she is still sleepless.

There is no movement outside the door.

She thinks it strange that if someone really came into her room last night, maybe he would come tonight.

So, she waits till over 3 AM.

The cell phone next to the pillow suddenly rings, giving her a shock. She takes it over, frowning. She finds a strange number shown on the screen.

After thinking about it, she quickly presses the answer button.

There’s a familiar voice of a man coming from the other side.

“It’s so slow to answer the phone. You haven’t slept yet!”

Song Yunxuan is very annoyed: “Chu Mochen, why do you call me in the middle of the night?”

After that, she suddenly realizes that there is something wrong with Chu Mochen’s first sentence.

What is it that you haven’t slept yet? Does this man know she’s going to lie awake tonight?

Probably because he hears her breathing a little bit faster and feels her anger, he says in an amusing tone, “Don’t be angry, honey, I did go to your house last night, but I just thought you slept late and got up early, afraid of you being too tired, so I reset your alarm clock to let you sleep more.”

“Why did you come into my room?!” She suddenly becomes stern.

She doesn’t like anyone breaking into her private territory at all.

On the other end, Chu Mochen’s voice becomes a little hoarse subtly: “You know, you took sleeping pills before sleep last night. Even if I did something to you, you couldn’t resist it.”

“Chu Mochen!” She remembers that someone had bitten the tip of her ear and kissed her neck as well as her chest last night. She couldn’t help warning him severely as if to crunch the name, “You’d better not mess around in the future. Next time if you come into my room, I’ll make you pay a terrible price!”

Chu Mochen goes silent for a moment, then laughs hoarsely.

Song Yunxuan is about to hang up the phone out of her wrath.

Suddenly, the man’s voice comes clearly: “Don’t hurt yourself anymore.”

She frowns and does not hang up immediately.

Chu Mochen’s voice over there becomes mellow and gentle: “What do you want, I’ll give you.”

Song Yunxuan’s heart suddenly makes a strong beat.

Since entering the body of Song Yunxuan, for the first time, she really feels the heartbeat so clearly.

The expression in her eyes changes slightly. And she is somewhat lost in silence that no one else can understand.

Quickly, however, her fingers respond faster than her brain, snapping and cutting off the call.

No one can give her what she wants, only she can get it by stealing it herself.

Chu Mochen sighs as he listens to the monotonous busy tone at the other end of the phone.

Sitting beside him, his father looks at him sternly and kindly, “Are you sure you want to marry the little daughter of the Chu family?”

Chu Mochen looks at his father with a bitter smile rising on his handsome face: “Although I might marry her first before making her loves me, yet you know, dad, I would spend a tasteless life without her as my wife.”

Slightly bending down his head, his father can’t help smiling, “It’s not easy for you to get up at such an early time in order to tell me this. I thought you’d lost your appetite for woman after Gu Changge’s death.”

With no word, Chu Mochen’s smile fades away. The color of his pupils grows darker.

Gu Changge……

He feels that Song Yunxuan is another Gu Changge.

Such a similar feeling traps him up.

Chapter 29: A Night Visitor in the Bedroom

Song Yunqiang’s face suddenly becomes very funny.

He wants to get up from his seat out of anger, but he does not have enough confidence.

Song Yunxuan looks at her eldest brother with her tearful eyes and says, “Brother, will this become a scar?”

Song Yunqiang frowns, and then stretches his eyebrows. His expression is very complex.

Fortunately, it hurt her body instead of her face. Otherwise, she really becomes disfigured.

Song Yunqiang put on a friendly expression to assure Song Yunxuan, “Yunxuan, this is merely allergy. Tomorrow I will go to the hospital with you, okay?”

“But is it not a cosmetic accident? If it were done on my face, I would be disfigured!” Song Yunxuan touches her neck and feels grievance about it.

Song Yunqiang wants to appease his sister, “Yunxuan, you go to take a bath and rest, brother will consult a doctor for you, okay?”

Song Yunxuan is pacified by his eldest brother before she calms down temporarily.

Song Yunqiang goes upstairs to his father’s room after seeing Song Yunxuan return to her room for a rest.

Song Yan is playing chess in his room alone. Although it is not interesting, it is rarely quiet.

Song Yunqiang opens the door. Song Yan gives a glance at him and then looks back at his chessboard.

Song Yunqiang dares not to disturb his father.

After all, although his father has been sick for a long time now, the power of the Song family is still firmly in the hands of the old man.

The old man spends his whole life in the market, trying to cultivate his son, but does not give up his rights as soon as he falls ill.

Because of this, Song Yunqiang does not dare to refute his father without authorization.

And it’s necessary for him to consult Song Yan about family decisions no matter it is significant or trivial.

In the wheelchair, Song Yan pinches the chess pieces with his fingers, hesitates before settles chess pieces, ending the game ahead of time.

Next to him, Song Yunqiang reaches out and holds the wheelchair’s pusher, and serving Song Yan with filial piety, “Dad, feel like a cup of tea?”

Song Yan gives a hum.

Song Yunqiang immediately pushes the wheelchair to the long table of scented rosewood.

Song Yan is handed a cup of hot tea.

Song Yan takes a sip, then raises his eyelids and looks lazily at his eldest son, “What’s the problem?”

According to his father’s tone, Song Yunqiang knows that his father is tired of him because he can’t make his own decisions.

However, if he takes the initiative to do things that don’t fit in with his father’s intention, the result will be equally bad.

Instead of letting the old man think that he is a poor worker, it is better to ask the old man for advice and to be a calm son in his eyes.

When Song Yunqiang is asked, he thinks it over and replies carefully, “Actually, Dad, this time it’s not my business, it’s about Yunxuan.”

Obviously, Mr. Song does not take Song Yunxuan seriously. He thinks that the daughter is a young maid who wastes time freely.

“Yunxuan, what’s the matter with her?”

Song Yunqiang looks worried, “Yunxuan went to a beauty salon to do SPA. She was allergic all of a sudden. A large piece of skin was burned. What a…”

After all, Song Yan is the father of Song Yunxuan, and Song Yunxuan is the daughter of the Song family. If she suffered from a beauty treatment accident while the Song family dare not complain about it, doesn’t it make people feel that the Song family has become cowards?

Song Yan is a man with a strong sense of honor. Listening to his eldest son’s saying, he is very angry. He puts his teacup heavily on the table and asks Song Yunqiang with a serious face, “Where did she do it? You still need to come back and ask me about it?”

Song Yunqiang dares not speak.

Song Yan murmurs, “Purchase that salon, let it be closed immediately!”

Song Yunqiang waits for Song Yan calming down a little before carefully him in a very subtle tone, “Dad, I also think about it, but… Tianxiang salon used to be Gu Changge’s property.”

Song Yan’s angry eyes immediately calm down a bit. He turns his head, looking at his eldest son with his black pupils.

The room goes silent for a few seconds.

Song Yunqiang dares not speak.

After a while, Song Yan opens his mouth and his voice is somewhat tired and low: “Gu Changge, even as the women of hegemony in Yuncheng, has now disappeared. Her property has now fallen into the hands of her husband Shao Tianze, Shao Tianze… he is not a fuel-efficient lamp either.”

“That…” Song Yunqiang, occurred with an inspiration, tentatively asks, “Dad, you mean…”

“Shao Tianze is also an ambitious man. Yunxuan went to his beauty salon to do SPA, maybe the beautician deliberately made Yunxuan allergic.”

After hearing his father’s words, Song Yunqiang says, “Dad, do you mean Shao Tianze was afraid that the Chu family would marry us, deliberately harming Yunxuan and preventing Yunxuan from marrying into the Chu family?”

Song Yan nods, “In the business circle, even a slight vibration can trigger a storm. Yunqiang, you must think before you leap”

Song Yan’s words are thought-provoking.

Song Yunqiang nods repeatedly.

“Yunqiang, you take Yunxuan to the hospital where Yunjia works tomorrow. And by the way pay a visit to Gu Changle, the adopted sister of Gu Changge, to check her recovery. Although the friendship between our family and Gu Changle is not very good, superficial efforts still need to be done.”

Song Yunqiang nods busily: “Dad, you can rest assured that I will visit Changle tomorrow.”

Maybe Song Yunqiang can understand the reasons why his father asks him to visit Gu Changle. The implied meaning is to explore Shao Tianze’s attitude towards the Song family.

Song Yunxuan mops herself up after taking a bath, and then throws the big white bath towel on the shelf beside her.

She stands in front of the bathroom mirror, scrutinizing her own body.

What she is examining is a very thin and delicate body. At first glance, one will find the body has a skeleton of a virgin girl. Even on the cheeks, there is a little baby fat.

She has a beautiful face, but it’s still inferior than that of Gu Changle.

She takes a deep breath. It looks pale between her eyebrows and eyes.

She raises her hands, looks up, turns around and gets dressed.

Her every movement is as light and smooth as clouds and streams.

Even when her clothes are pulled from her curvy waist to her shoulders, she does not look at the unforgettable beauty of her body.

With a loose belt around her waist, she gets dressed up, leaving her collar open to expose her burned skin where the ointment is applied.

As soon as she arrives at her bed before she has time to tighten the lid of the ointment in her hand, she notices the mobile phone that is thrown casually on the bed vibrating and ringing.

She glances at the caller’s display with a little impatience.

She slowly tightens the lid of the ointment and puts it back in the drawer.

The mobile phone that is ignored by her keeps ringing.

Since the first time she did not pick up the call, the phone began to ring continuously

By the third time, she has to raise her hand and press the answer button, “Who do you want to talk to?”

There comes a man’s magnetic and elegant chuckle: “Why so serious? Yunxuan.”

When Song Yunxuan raises up her eyebrows, recognizing it is Chu Mochen speaking, she immediately hangs up the phone.

Chu Mochen’s is really a haunting ghost. The lesson he learned last time when he was slapped by Song Yunxuan was not tough enough for him. He dares to call her again.

She lifts the quilt and goes to bed.

The tip of her nose has a smell of ointment.

When she turns over in the middle of the night, she feels the door creaks slightly.

Suddenly a sense of excitement comes to her mind, and she snaps the lamp by the window on.

Orange light pours out, warming the whole room.

But the room still feels cold.

She looks warily around the room, but finds nothing.

She gets out of her bed without even slippers and hurries to check the lock of her room.

Every time she sleeps, she has the habit of locking the door, which is the habit she formed when she was Gu Changge.

She keeps it so far.

Examining the door lock, she reaches out to twist it a few times before she realizes that it is really locked.

She makes a sigh of relief, and then returns to bed powerlessly, picks up the cup on the bedside cupboard, pours some sleeping pills out of the bottle, and swallows them.

It isn’t a good sleep last night.

She turns over again and over again in the middle of the night. She always feels that someone is gently touching her scalded neck and her skin below her collarbone.

She groans in pain as she is touched.

It seems that someone is tightly biting her ear tips, scolding her in an unhappy and angry voice, “What a mad woman! In order to buy people’s hearts, you dare to practice in such a self-mutilating way!”

She is so drowsy that she only feels that she is dreaming, but the voice of this conversation is like that of Chu Mochen.

The next morning after that night, she wakes up sadly and looks up at the alarm clock on the bedside table. It is only five o’clock, but the light on the curtain is so bright.

She lays down uncomfortably and falls asleep again, feeling the night is still young.

When she is awakened by a knock on the door, she gives a look at the alarm clock, which is just over seven.

She gets up and opens the door.

Outside the door, nurse Mama, carrying a breakfast tray, asks her in surprise, “Miss Yunxuan, why do you get up so late?” Are you sick?”

Song Yunxuan rubs her neck: “I feel a little uncomfortable so that I sleep over seven o’clock by chance.”

She used to get up early, get up at 6 o’clock, wash and go downstairs to have breakfast at 7 o’clock on time.

Now it’s over seven o’clock. No wonder nurse Wang brings breakfast.

However, nurse Wang says in surprise, “Miss Yunxuan, it’s over ten o’clock now.”

With her hand stopping rubbing her neck, Song Yunxuan looks at nurse Wang’s suspiciously, “What time do you say now?”

“Over ten o’clock.”

Mama Wang repeats it again.

Song Yunxuan immediately returns to her bedside to check her alarm clock. The mechanical pointer on the alarm clock moves in order.

But the hour hand is clearly on the seventh.

She takes out her cell phone to check the time again, and finds that it is 10:35 AM.

Song Yunxuan’s fingers tighten one by one, and her delicate eyebrows wrinkles coldly.

Then, she raises her hand and touches the scalded skin under her collar. She asks without turning her head, “Nurse Wang, did anyone come to our house last night?”

“No, Miss, what’s the problem?”

Song Yunxuan raises her head slightly, with her pointed chin rising and her eyes narrowing unconsciously. “But I think our family did come guest last night.”

She has always been a disciplined person. If someone had not adjusted her deliberately, she would never sleep over 7 AM.

Last night, someone visited her room.

Chapter 27: Confess

That boiling soup is spilled onto Song Yunxuan.

The soup is so hot that her thin clothes can’t insulate her against the heat at all.

Through the chiffon shirt, it burns Song Yunxuan’s skin. She wrinkles her brow in pain and can’t help groaning.

It is really so unexpected.

Zhang Xiao doesn’t know when Song Yunxuan appears in the dining hall at all. What’s more, she feels astounded about the fact that she rushes out to prevent Shao Xue from being hurt by that soup at this moment.

All the staff who are eating around enter into a state of panic.

They gather around Song Yunxuan to check her injury.

Someone strips away her cloth covering the shoulder where the hot soup was spilled on. She changes color, “Call the ambulance quickly! Miss Song is scalded. It’s quite severe!”

Shao Xue gets up from the ground and hurriedly come to check Song Yunxuan’s wounds. After seeing her neck and shoulders are burned into red, she turns pale and asks her nervously, “Miss Song, how does it feel? Are you okay?”

Soon, the employee who dialed the ambulance phone returns. He supports Song Yunxuan: “Miss Song, hold on! The ambulance is coming! Wait! I’m going to find some cold water for you.”

Some employees around her are looking for cold water and towels to relieve her pain, while others are accompanying her.

Although Song Yunxuan feels it hurts so much, she clenches teeth to endure the pain. She hears Shao Xue’s voice. She turns back and asks, “Are you all right?”

“I’m fine. I’m okay…”

Shao Xue is so nervous that she sobs these words.

Song Yunxuan nods at her: “Fine.”

Then she is held to the ambulance by many people. Although she is in pain, she keeps clenching her teeth to hold back her tears.

On the way to the ambulance, the doctor notices her white lower lip, which has been biting for a while, then comforts her: “Relax. If it hurts, call it out.”

Song Yunxuan still keeps silent. Although the pain has made her sweat all over, she keeps going.

She has endured what’s more painful than this, so now, a bowl of hot soup can’t make her cry out.

In fact, in this world, all the physical pain is better than the mental one.

She is enduring.

When uncovering her shirt, the doctor accidentally touches her scalded skin.

Suddenly, she blacks out, losing her consciousness due to the huge pain.

Shao Xue follows her to the ambulance. When seeing Song Yunxuan collapse suddenly, she looks worriedly at the doctor and says, “Doctor, what’s wrong with her?”

“She went unconscious. She seems sensitive to pain.”

Shao Xue is sad and worried, she looks at Song Yunxuan’s face, can’t help weeping.

It is evening when Song Yunxuan wakes up.

Shao Xue is sitting beside the bed. Finding Song Yunxuan wakes up, Shao Xue wipes tears from her swollen eyes at once and grabs Yunxuan’s hand, “Miss Song, how do you feel

now?”

Song Yunxuan does not answer, she feels her mind chaotic.

Watching the worried look on Shao Xue’s face, she recalls what had happened before slowly.

She remembers that she fainted.

Yes, it’s her who fainted.

She remembers helping Shao Xue prevent that hot soup, but she can’t believe she fainted from the pain.

How could I be so weak?

Shao Xue is holding her hand: “How do you feel now? If it hurts much, I’ll call a doctor for you right away.

Song Yunxuan shakes her head, “No, thanks. I’m okay.”

Shao Xue glances at her then she can’t help but lowers her head, with tears in her eyes.

Song Yunxuan looks at her, for a moment a tinge of sadness passes over her eyes.

“Are you crying?”

“Sorry,” says Shao Xue, with one hand holding Song Yunxuan and the other covering half of her face. She feels as if a lump comes into her throat. Her voice becomes muffled, “Apart from my parents, no one has protected me like you since my childhood.”

Song Yunxuan stares at her without saying anything.

She’s right. Indeed, in this world, we cannot trust anyone except our parents.

Even husbands can be the ones who would kill you anytime.

Her father, Gu Yun, once said, in a huge family, or in the business field where the money comes to the first priority, you will lose everything if you are merciful.

Entrepreneurs who fail in business often choose to suicide by throwing themselves out of the building, because they can’t repay their colossal debts.

The wealthy children who lose their parents’ shelter and money,usually suffer a great decline in their social status after such a family change. They will be ridiculed by others and some of them may even be downgraded to the underclass, which makes them lose the will to live on.

In this world, since you are born with an identity, you have to keep it well.

Gu Changge is a girl from a large business family. Her father’s iron fist has formed an indestructible force, which leaves an indelible impression in her immature mind.

That is —win or die!

She desires success!

She must win!

The cold eyes reveal the determination in her deep heart.

Song Yunxuan feels Shao Xue’s hand is shaking slightly, she comforts her in a soft voice: “You must miss your parents very much?”

Shao Xue nods vigorously.

Song Yunxuan smiles weakly, she proposes: “If you miss them, you can take them to Yuncheng, your salary can be enough to support their’ lives.”

She’s eager to invest the 8 million in a person who deserves it.

It’s easy for her to pay Shao Xue a high salary.

However, Shao Xue shakes her head, with her teary eyes. She sobs, “No, I can’t.”

Song Yunxuan

With tears rolling down her fair face: “They’re all dead… No more… I don’t have parents anymore…

Song Yunxuan feels surprised: “What?”

“They died seven years ago…”

Shao Xue clutches her fist tightly, which makes Song Yunxuan feels Shao Xue’s agony is conveyed to her.

Shao Xue sniffs, trying to calm himself down, but she fails. She needs time.

“Did your parents die of illness?”

Shao Xue looks up at Song Yunxuan. There is a sorrowful look in her eyes.

“No, even if they died in operation, they were not incurable at all. They were misdiagnosed!”

Shao Xue gnashes her teeth. A look of hate comes into her eyes: “My brother is a jerk! He is a beast! My parents didn’t suffer gastric cancer at all, but he deceived them into the surgery! They all died in the operations! He killed my parents! I hate him!”

Shao Xue couldn’t help trembling when she remembers the past, and her fingers become cold as they are clenched too tightly.

Song Yunxuan grabs her hands and comforts her: “Calm down, Shao Xue, you can’t be too sad, or it will harm your health.”

Shao Xue doesn’t care. The hatred in her eyes is cold and penetrating: “Shao Tianze is a beast! My parents took him away from the orphanage, raised him and sent him to the college. But how could he bite the hands that have fed him? In order to avoid being despised about his poor background, he married a wealthy girl and even killed my parents, trying to conceal the fact that he is an orphan.”

Song Yunxuan is stunned for a moment.

After a long time, she asks, “Is he really an orphan from Qingcheng?”

Her tone is subtle.

She had been married to Shao Tianze for seven years before which they studied in the same college for four years, but she did not know Shao Tianze is an orphan at all.

He has said that he is the youngest son of Shao Family, which is a medical family in Haicheng. As his brother and parents settle abroad, he could marry her and live in Gu Family.

Shao Xue is trembling with anger.

Looking at Shao Xue, Song Yunxuan finds her intense hatred is all true. At this point, she gradually has an impulse to sneer.

She is fully unexpected that Shao Tianze is a fantastic liar from the beginning.

So, when she asked someone to check his background, he had been ready in advance.

Moreover, to prevent others from uncovering his false identity, he killed his foster parents.

Shao Tianze…he is so cruel and merciless.

Gu Changge really underestimates his ruthlessness.

Shao Xue is immersed in sadness, with tears were falling down her cheeks.

Song Yunxuan grabs her hand and shakes it hard, which attracts Shao Xue’s attention.

When Shao Xue looks up, an encouraging and compassionate smile appears on Song Yunxuan’s face: “Shao Xue, God will punish him.”

Shao Xue shakes her head. “No, I don’t believe it. In this world, good people always die young. I can’t wait!”

Song Yunxuan peers at her, “Then, what are you going to do?”

“I want revenge!” She stares at Song Yunxuan. The hatred in her eyes is as ferocious as floods, “I will punish Shao Tianze! He killed my parents, and I’ll never let him off! ”

Song Yunxuan shakes her head: “But you can’t take revenge on him now.”

Although Shao Xue wants to avenge her parents’ death on Shao Tianze, it is absolutely impossible to achieve it by her own power.

Let alone, if Shao Tianze realizes Shao Xue’s strong hatred, he may find an excuse to murder her.

After all, rich people are horrible.

You can’t imagine how useful the money is in their hands.

You never know how many evildoers are urged by his money.

People are always crazy about money.

Money drives countless people to protect him from bad luck.

Song Yunxuan says to her: “Calm down, Shao Xue. After all, he is your eldest brother. As he feels guilty, you should get along well with him.”

Shao Xue frowns and pulls her hand out of Song Yunxuan’s hands, “I can’t do that!”

Song Yunxuan firmly holds her hands. Her eyes are so dark and the smile on her lips is very confusing. Then she says slowly and resolutely, “Only in this way can you have something on him and kill him!”

Shao Xue feels as if she were stabbed by the resentful look in Song Yunxuan’s eyes.

Everything around becomes silent in a moment.

It seems she understands what Song Yunxuan said.

Chapter 26: Zhang Xiao Hits People

The layer of haze in Shao Xue’s eyesight is suffused with a strong hatred.

Song Yunxuan is quite familiar with that kind of look.

Because when she looks in the mirror, she often sees it in her own eyes.

“Sorry, Mr. Shao had mistaken me, so he followed me to the magazine.”

“That’s it.” Song Yunxuan smiles. “There are too many similar people in the world. He just mistook them for a moment. Did he embarrass you?”

“No, no.”

Shao Xue is reluctant to tell the whole story between her and Shao Tianze.

Song Yunxuan is not in a hurry to ask. She nods: “On the first day of work, I hope you will enjoy your stay here.”

“Yes, Miss Song. You can rest assured that I will work hard.”

Song Yunxuan smiles and leaves. After returning to the office, she finds the medicine box from the drawer of the office and gives the bandage and disinfectant to the editor who hands in the document to the office. “Pass these to Shao Xue.”

“Miss Song, you are very considerate.” Editor Tao Jing can’t help praising her.

She smiles and says, “I just took over the magazine company, and I need more advice from you in the future.”

“If it were not for Miss Song, all of us would be laid off soon. You bought Zhao Shi to give us the chance to stay here and work. You can rest assured that I will do a good job.”

Song Yunxuan is in a better mood. After Tao Jing leaves, she goes to the French window of the office, observing Shao’s office building.

Such a magnificent and tall office building soars into the sky. The whole city of Yuncheng has no higher office buildings than this one.

When sitting in Gu’s chairman’s chair, would Shao Tianze think about the one who concentrated Gu’s rights into his hands?

It’s her, Gu Changge.

This man will never think of her.

With a smile on her face, she looks at Gu’s building and stretches out her hand.

Then, she curls up her fingers one by one into a fist, narrowing her eyes, as if to firmly grasp the whole Gu company in her palm.

Before leaving work at noon, Song Yunxuan calls nurse Wang.

Nurse Wang says that Song Yunqiang has a lunch meeting at noon so that he will not go back home.

Therefore, she can stay at Fanxing magazine with ease.

Call the data acquisition department staff to send her yesterday’s news.

After reading several articles, she fixes her sight on the news that Gu Changle, the sister of Gu’s former chairman, was discharged from hospital.

After carefully recording the hospital where Gu Changle stayed, and checking and writing down the names of people in charge of the hospital and Gu Changle’s chief doctor, she gets up and makes a phone call to the editor-in-chief.

The editor-in-chief picks up the phone and respectfully asks her, “Miss Song, what’s the matter?”

“Give all the tasks about Gu’s information collection to Shao Xue.”

The editor-in-chief hesitates before saying, “Yes, but Miss Song, before it was Zhang Xiao who had been in charge of Gu’s information acquisition. If, suddenly, it was handed over to Shao Xue, would it be too difficult for her since Gu’s security work is very good.”

“That’s why I give it to Shao Xue. Didn’t you see Mr. Shao breaking into our building this morning to find Shao Xue?”

Xiao Hong, editor-in-chief, has been working for Zhao’s magazine for more than ten years. She is an old member of the magazine. She has an exquisite face and a quick mind.

After hearing that, she knows that Song Yunxuan has her own thoughts. She smiles gently and says, “Everything will be done according to Miss Song’s arrangement. Zhang Xiao will be transferred to take charge of Xue’s information collection.”

Song Yunxuan nods with her dim eyes through which a cold light is wandering, “Xue’s family has relatively less information, so the bonus for Chen Xiao will be greatly reduced. Do you understand?”

The editor-in-chief replies, “Miss Song, just leave it to me.”

“You must do it well.”

“Yes.”

“If she asks you why you cut her bonus, what would you say?”

The editor-in-chief’s voice hesitates for a moment, then she says, “I decided.”

Song Yunxuan grins with satisfaction: “Your bonus will be increased by 30%.”

This editor-in-chief has a lot of wits. It’s fortunate that Fanxing magazine has her as editor-in-chief.

Song Yunxuan orders takeout for her lunch and then sits in front of the computer looking through Zhao’s previous performance and development direction while reading the statistical records made by other magazines.

The work of Fanxing Magazine becomes busy after Song Yunxuan takes over.

Employees of magazines often go to the canteen in the basement to have their meals.

Shao Xue is no exception after she takes part in the work. In order to reduce her expenses, she buys a three-month dining-room meal card.

One day, just after making her plate, she notices a tray is laid down heavily on the opposite side of her table.

It is laid suddenly so that the Luffa soup in it spills out.

Shao Xue looks up calmly and perceives a woman with long curled hair wearing a tight black skirt.

The woman looks very mature, with a fully developed breast and a slender waist. And the small black skirt is just the right way to outline her charming figure.

Shao Xue’s eyes stop on her face for a moment, finding that she puts on a thick makeup. Although it is not a fashionable makeup, her makeup is very delicate for her profession, characterized with charm as well as luster.

Shao Xue ignores her and bows her head for her soup.

Sitting opposite her, the woman sneers, “I heard you’re new here.”

“I just joined Fanxing magazine not long ago.” Shao Xue feels that she needs to have a good relationship with the old staff so that she can get along well with her colleagues. She introduces herself, “My name is Shao Xue, and I hope that my predecessors will take more care of me in the future.”

“You are quite sensible. You know I’m also the magazine’s employee by a mere glance at me.”

Shao Xue holds a spoon in her hand: “You have the longest hair in our magazine.”

“My name is Zhang Xiao.”

“If you don’t mind, may I call you Sister Zhang?”

“Of course,” Zhang Xiao’s fiery red lips outline a cool smile.

Yet the next topic is difficult to answer: “Since you know that I am your predecessor, and that I should be called Sister Zhang, then why did you rob me of my job in the first place?”

Zhang Xiao had been in charge of gathering information about the Gu family for a long time. And because she has a good relationship with a general manager of Gu company, it is much easier for her to get information about Gu’s family.

As the largest entrepreneur in Yuncheng, Gu family has a lot of gossip beside a businesswoman in power.

Once the news appears in the magazine, it attracts a lot of attention.

As a result, the magazine generates a very generous bonus for her.

However, this noon, the editor-in-chief suddenly told her that she would not be responsible for Gu’s family in future, but for the news of Xue family which is disgusting.

It’s really annoying. There’s a big gap between the bonus for the Xue family and that for Gu.

How can this matter of salary and bonus be ambiguously dealt with?

She questioned the editor-in-chief before she knew that Shao Xue was in charge of Gu family information collection.

How could the editor-in-chief give her such a fat occupation if it hadn’t been for the new man’s request to the editor-in-chief?

As she thinks about it like this, she can’t help but get angry.

She sits opposite Shao Xue with a malicious smile showing her bad intention.

Shao Xue also feels that Zhang Xiao has a problem with her. Hearing her statement that her job is robbed of by her, Shao Xue quickly explains, “Sister Zhang, that is arranged by the editor-in-chief, not by myself.”

When she finishes, a woman sits down behind Zhang Xiao with her meal plate.

The woman’s words are very sarcastic: “Some people are more sophisticated than their young age. If you are robbed of work by others, you should behave like a dumb person who takes a dose of bitter medicine—suffering the humiliation alone without saying it.”

This seemingly exhorts Zhang Xiao to be calm, but actually, it pours oil on the fire.

Zhang Xiao’s face becomes a bit twisted. She stares at Shao Xue. “You go and tell the editor-in-chief that you shouldn’t be responsible for Gu company information collection.”

Shao Xue looks at her calmly, “I’m sorry, I’m interested in Gu family’s information and scandals.”

“Little bitch, you want to do it the hard way!”

Zhang Xiao stands up, and suddenly throws the plate of noodles onto Shao Xue’s body.

Shao Xue doesn’t realize that Zhang Xiao is so bad-tempered that she is splashed all over by a plate of soup, rice, and soup on her face.

The soup is just taken out of the boiling pot. It makes her face hot and painful.

She uncomfortably raises her hand to cover her face.

The woman behind Zhang Xiao immediately stands up and advises her in horror: “Zhang Xiao, you will be expelled from the company for doing this!”

“Today, I don’t care. This little bitch dares to grab my job. Even if I was fired today, I would teach her a hard lesson. Or she will think that the old staff in the workplace are all weak cowards!”

Zhang Xiao has her plan.

If Shao Xue fought back when she was beaten, it would turn into a fight.

According to the new regulations of Fanxing magazine, all employees will be expelled for fighting with each other.

Now that she has started the trouble, there is no reason to let Shao Xue get rid of it without being affected.

She’s fighting today, and she’s going to get Shao Xue involved.

The female clerk behind Zhang Xiao pretends to prevent her from fighting, but she actually does not use her full strength.

Zhang Xiao rushes to Shao Xue like a runaway wild horse.

Shao Xue had also read the rules and regulations of Fanxing magazine on her first day in the company. She also knows that as long as she fought back, it would become a fight and she would probably lose her job.

So even though her hair is torn apart, she is pushed to the ground in awkwardness, she does not fight back.

Zhang Xiao is not at all satisfied by beating her like this.

Having noticed the hot soup taken by someone nearby, she grabs the hot bowl at once with a vicious look in her eyes.

Then she raises her hand and splashes out the hot soup.

The hot soup is still steaming.

If it is poured on someone’s faces, even if he will not be disfigured, he will also be scalded.

Shao Xue is also frightened with her scared eyes, but it is too late to hide.

Suddenly, a slim figure suddenly flashes in front of her.

Then there is a sizzle.

The hot soup is immediately spilled on the figure.

Shao Xue looks at the man who is blocking herself and grunting.

She opens her eyes in surprise: “Miss Song!”

At such a critical moment, it is Song Yunxuan in front of her, who had just sent her ointment and bandage in the morning.

Chapter 25: You are Not Qualified

Chu Mochen is slapped heavily by Song Yunxuan in the face.

Song Yunxuan’s eyebrows are still as immature and tender as that of young girl’s, but the mercilessness in the black pupil of her eyes is extremely scary.

“You are not qualified to say that, Chu Mochen.”

Song Yunxuan pushes him aside, finding his fingers touching the half of his face that he had just been beaten. Her eyes were cold, saying, “Since you have not gotten her, it means that you do not understand her heart at all. Now that you don’t even understand her heart, you’re not qualified to comment on her?”

While she is looking at Chu Mochen, and the furiousness in her eyes gradually subsides. “Mr. Chu, Gu Changge is dead. Please don’t talk about the dead anymore. Excuse me.”

Before Chu Mochen has completely relieved himself from the pain of that slap, Song Yunxuan has taken a deep breath, pulled the door and gotten out.

After a while, Chu Mochen looks up at the door with an odd smile on his face. He murmurs almost inaudibly, “Are you reincarnated in somebody else’s body?”

The room is quiet but there is a light laugh of self-mockery.

Song Yunxuan had a tough night. All night long, she had been struggling with the nightmare in which there were car accidents, amputations, and finally, her heart was dug by Shao Tianze’s with a knife in his own hand.

When waking up in the middle of the night, she raised his hand to touch her face. Tears instantly wet his fingers.

“Gu Changge…” She calls her name with her fists clenching tightly, and the hatred in her eyes almost turns into an indestructible sharp knife. ” Gu Changge, you must revenge! Shao Tianze should be killed! ”

She will return all her pains and sufferings to Shao Tianze as well as Gu Changle, the bitch!

In the early morning of the next day, she applies a very thick foundation in front of the mirror to cover up the dark circles and her poor complexion.

When she goes downstairs, Song Yunqiang looks unhappy. “Yunxuan, when did Childe Chu leave yesterday?”

Song Yunxuan glances over Song Yunqiang: “I don’t know.”

“Hadn’t you…”

“I just helped him get to the guest room but didn’t sleep with him. How could I know when he left?”

When Song Yunxuan turns around and finds that Song Yunqiang still wants to talk, she can’t help but shows a soft smile, “Big brother, if an unmarried daughter of the Song family sleeps in a bed with a sick man without permission, it will be harmful to the honor of the Song family and will be called by outsiders as — degradation!”

“You…”

After listening to the last two words, Song Yunqiang almost chokes in his throat, unable to breathe.

Song Yunxuan smiles sweetly and comes to her elder brother. She reaches out to help her elder brother feel better. “Don’t be angry, elder brother. I’m only eighteen years old. Whether Childe Chu is serious or he is just flirting, it will take a few more days to see that. As the saying goes, as distance tests a horse’s strength, so time reveals a person’s heart.”

Of course, what she said is reasonable.

Song Yun ponders for a while before reluctantly returning to the table for breakfast.

Papaya milk on the table makes Song Yunxuan frown. (The papaya milk is said to be good for female’s breast enhancement.)

Song Yunqiang and she sit on both sides of the table. She reads some newspapers while eating regardless of the cup of papaya milk. Song Yunqiang frowns, “Yunxuan, you are still growing your body. Drink that cup of milk.”

Song Yunxuan looks up at Song Yunqiang, and then gives a glance at the milk in front of her, sighing: “Big brother, diet therapy has little effect on breast enlargement, and the progress is very slow. If you think my figure is not good, you’d better let me go to Weifang salon to make an essential oil SPA. I heard that they have some massagers from Thailand, with first-class techniques.”

She has a smart smile on her face, which makes Song Yunqiang feel stunned when she gazes up.

His younger sister always carries a kind of noble spirit which should belong to sophisticated women from upper social brackets.

However, it is clear that she is only an illegitimate daughter picked up from a small town.

Why is this sister born with such dignity?

Song Yunqiang begins to wonder.

“Yunxuan, when you were in Qingcheng, did you have friendship with any silver spoon kid?”

“Silver spoon kid?” Song Yunxuan’s eyes were full of brilliance. “Brother, you should know that, in the remote areas of Qingcheng, there is no other than the son of fishermen or the child of ordinary people, how can there be anyone born loaded?”

Song Yunqiang also feels that there would be no wealthy family in Qingcheng.

He shakes his head and feels that he really thinks too much.

Song Yunxuan does not take that cup of papaya milk. When she leaves, she tells nurse Wang, “If my eldest brother asks you about my life in Qingcheng, you just say how poor we were, you know?”

Nurse Wang nods her head.

Only then does Song Yunxuan go outside.

As soon as she leaves the house, she notices a new black Rolls-Royce in front of the fountain in which sits her eldest brother who finds her dressed properly, waving to her.

She goes over and says, “Brother, what’s the matter?”

“Yunxuan, where are you going?”

Song Yunxuan smiles and replies, “Although I have finished high school in Qingcheng, I haven’t received the admission notice yet. I want to go to Yuncheng University.”

Song Yunqiang thinks about Song Yunxuan’s current situation and immediately makes a decision: “Don’t worry about going to college, I’ll help you with the admission procedures.”

Song Yunxuan nods gratefully, “Thank you, brother.”

Song Yunqiang nods: “Stay at home recently. Maybe Childe Chu will come to you.”

Surely, Song Yunxuan is unhappy, but she does not show it on the surface. When Song Yunqiang drives away, she still says, “Big brother, be careful on the road.”

Song Yunqiang drives away.

Song Yunxuan goes back to her room to put on a casual dress, then goes out from the side door with her canvas bag.

When she goes out, she calls a taxi and goes straight to the Fanxing Magazine.

In the morning, the office workers go to Shaw’s office building by small groups.

Song Yunxuan asks the driver to park the car at the gate of the Fanxing Magazine. When she is just about to get off the car, she observes a familiar figure in Shao’s doorway talking face to face with Shao Xue.

Shao Xue stares at the other man. When the man reaches for her shoulder, she thrusts him aside angrily.

She walks toward the Fanxing Magazine but still followed by the man.

Definitely, the man is Shao Tianze.

Otherwise, how can Song Yunxuan’s eyes narrow, revealing the sharp feelings like the blade?

“Miss, do you want to get off here?”

“Crash him.”

With her fingers clenching, she looks at Shao Tianze, whispering: “Crash him…”

“Miss?”

The driver is shocked. He hurriedly turns back and shouts at her. “Are you OK, Miss?”

Due to the driver’s scream, Song Yunxuan suddenly wakes up from her hatred, looking at the driver, “What happened?”

“Miss, you really scared me to death. Just now you want me to crash someone!”

Song Yunxuan touches her head: “Really?”

She is very confused: “Have I said that?”

“You did say it.” The driver is very sure.

Song Yunxuan can’t help but sadly bows her head: “I’m sorry, I have been suffered from the aftereffects of the traffic accident. Sometimes I will murmur my words unconsciously. Please. don’t tell others my abnormal symptoms.”

After seeing Song Yunxuan’s curls up, the driver hastily appeases her: “Don’t be afraid, Miss, I won’t tell others, you can rest assured that I will not reveal your illness.”

After hearing what the driver said, Song Yunxuan feels at ease. She shows her gratitude towards the driver and pays the fees.

After the driver drives away, she drops the receipt into a nearby dust bin. Carrying her canvas bag, she strides into the Fanxing Magazine.

Being gotten rid of by Shao Xue, Shao Tianze steps into the Fanxing Magazine without being blocked.

Sure enough, once a person becomes a person with both money and powers, he will be welcome wherever he goes.

Song Yunxuan enters the door and the two security guards nod, greeting her, “Miss Song.”

Song Yunxuan smiles, “The man who just entered didn’t seem to be one of our staff.”

The security guard says, “He is the chairman of Gu company that is on the opposite of our building.”

“It turns out to be Mr. Shao,” she nods and asks, “Have I already agreed to merge the Fanxing Magazine into the company of Mr. Shao?”

The two security guards shake their heads: “Of course not.”

“Then block him!”

Song Yunxuan’s voice becomes suddenly cold, and the smile on her face disappears completely.

Both security guards are scared.

Song Yunxuan stares at them seriously, “If you can’t stop him next time, go directly to be a security guard of Shao company. I don’t need idle people here.”

The two security guards gradually understand what she is saying, then quickly nod: “Miss Song, we will definitely pay attention to that next time.”

Song Yunxuan looks hard and serious. And after getting their assurance, she turns and walks inside.

The employees who have seen this scene in Fanxing magazine all nod politely to her and tries to make their smiles, but they seem stiff.

The special temperament of this 18-year-old boss oppresses them and makes them dare not look into her eyes for the moment.

Instead of looking for Shao Xue, Song Yunxuan waits for coffee in the corridor where she leaves the magazine.

Shao Tianze passes her when he comes out.

She looked slightly sideways, and Shao Tianze looks slightly sideways at her.

This is how they look at each other.

Then, Shao Tianze’s footsteps stiffen suddenly.

In Song Yunxuan’s eyes, the cold and gloomy layer of evil spirit quickly dissipates, replaced by a gentle and sweet smile.

Clean eyes, slightly curved lips, beautiful face.

Just one look, all her attractive features are fixed in the deep pupil of Shao Tianze.

By coincidence, Shao Tianze is intoxicated by her charming appearance.

There is something soft and magnetic in her eyes.

Her lips pout slightly, like peach blossoms in spring.

Shao Tianze turns his head back on his way and strides away.

Song Yunxuan turns back her face with her long eyelashes drooped. In an instant, her smile changes into a chilly scary expression.

“Shao Tianze, if heaven does not ruin you, I will destroy you.”

After that, she places her coffee on the shelf beside her and leaves it cold.

She steps towards the editorial room.

After entering the door, she finds the staff in front of their respective computers are busy with their work, some of them whose eyesight occasionally meet with hers nod politely to greet her.

When she stops in front of Shao Xue, Shao Xue is contemplating with her fingers clenching tightly into a fist, and her nails deeply pinching into her flesh.

When Song Yunxuan observes her hands bleeding, she can’t help reminding her gently, “Shao Xue, your hands are bleeding.”

Song Yunxuan’s voice sounds around her ear, Shao Xue’s suddenly wakes up from her contemplation.

Looking for the origin of the voice, she notices Song Yunxuan at once and gets up quickly: “Miss Song…”

“Sit down, I think you are in a bad mood. Did Mr. Shao come to see you just now?”

Hearing the question, Shao Xue’s eyes quickly covered with a deep haze.

Chapter 24: I Won’t Get Married

When Song Yunxuan returns, Song Yunqiang is talking with Song Yan in the living room.

As soon as Song Yan notices her comes back, he frowns: “Haven’t you found Childe Chu?”

Song Yunxuan says nothing, instead, Chu Mochen, who is walking beside Song Yunxuan, says with a smile, “Uncle Song.” He followed Song Yunxuan and came into the room just now.

Song Yan shows a kind smile at once and stretches out his hand to greet him: “I had thought Yunxuan didn’t find you, I was just about to scold her.”

Chu Mochen glances at Song Yunxuan who stands beside him. His smile remains unchanged, in which there are love and pity.

Coming up to Song Yan, Chu Mochen exculpates Song Yunxuan, “I met Yunxuan as soon as I went out. We had a few words outside, which delayed the time. Uncle, are you hungry?”

Song Yan makes use of this opportunity to gain his targets, nodding, “Yes. In fact, I am.”

Chu Mochen shows great respect towards Song Yan. He always keeps a smile which shows he’s a courteous descendant of a noble family.

Song Yunxuan is in no mood to see him talking and laughing with her father.

After these four people take their seats, the delicacies cooked by Italian chefs are served one by one.

Song Yunxuan feels the goose liver suits her taste so she eats a little more.

At this time, she looks up and finds Chu Mochen staring at her with his clear eyes.

That catches her off guard, then, her throat is choked by the goose liver.

Song Yunxuan starts to cough.

“Yunxuan!” Song Yunqiang’s about to pass a cup of water to her hastily.

However, at this point, Song Yan coughs a little.

Song Yunqiang pauses his hands that hold the water cup and then turns it to another direction stiffly. He picks up the red wine beside him and presents it to Song Yunxuan quickly.

Song Yunxuan is so uncomfortable that she thinks it is water. She gulps down it, only to find that it’s wine rather than water.

She wants to spit the wine out but she doesn’t. After so many years of gentlewoman-training in Gu Family, she has kept social etiquettes in mind.

To avoid making a fool of herself at the table, she swallows the wine.

In a little while, the wine eases her symptoms, but it also causes a blush rises on her cheeks

As Chu Mochen notices her discomfort, he hands a glass of water to her.

However, Song Yunqiang reaches his hands out to prevent him.

At this moment, Song Yan says with a smile: “Childe Chu, Yunxuan is a great drinker, and I’ll let her drink a toast for you.”

Then he says to Yunxuan: “Come on, Yunxuan, fill his glass.”

Song Yunxuan feels that she’s about to become a bar-girl of Song Family.

If she were Gu Changge, no one dared ask her to pour wine, unless he has given up the family property.

On the second thought, she knows she’s no longer Gu Changge.

“I’m Song Yunxuan.” She understands she has to surrender in some special situations. Otherwise, with useless arrogance, she will be thwarted at all places sooner or later.

She steadies her breath, endures discomfort, and then obediently picks up the bottle.

Afterward, she leaves the chair and walks towards Chu Mochen so as to pour wine for him.

Red wine fills the cup three-thirds full, and the ruby-like liquids in his crystal goblet are so bright and gorgeous.

Chu Mochen doesn’t care about that but glimpses her knuckles whiten as she clenches her hands hard to bear her grievance.

Song Yan and Song Yunqiang are both surprised by that.

Later Song Yan’s shocked expression softens and he orders Song Yunxuan to pour once again for Childe Chu.

Song Yunxuan drops her eyes and walks to him. There is somewhat coldness in her deep eyes.

Chu Mochen stands up from his chair and says, “I’m done, I think I should go back.”

Song Yunxuan stops and looks at him expressionlessly.

She eagers to pack him, the SVIP, away. But what’s wrong with Chu Mochen today? He actually follows her way.

She gazes at him in silence.

However, Chu Mochen doesn’t see that. He gets up to leave.

Song Yunqiang and Song Yan also stand up quickly. It’s evident that Song Yan wants to retain him.

Song Yunqiang frowns for think a way out to retain him.

Just then Chu Mochen suddenly staggers and his body sways slightly.

Song Yunxuan is beside Chu Mochen at that time. Watching Chu Mochen tilt to her side, Song Yunxuan fears he would hit her so she unconsciously reaches out hands to hold his arm.

After that, she clearly sees Chu Mochen grins.

She desires to let go of him at once.

But Chu Mochen speaks, “I haven’t got restored from my flu yet, can I ask Miss Song a favor?”

Song Yunxuan looks back at Song Yan because she feels pretty embarrassed.

And Song Yan nods at her seriously.

She has to hold him: “I’ll take you downstairs to pick up the car.”

Song Yunqiang interrupts her: “How can Childe Chu drive like that? I’ll ask the driver to take him back.”

Song Yunxuan is fortune that either her father or brother knows she can drive, or else they must order her to send Chu Mochen back.

As she smirks privately, Song Yan starts to play his tricks.

He smiles kindly: “Childe Chu, you’d better have a rest in my guest room since you are not feeling well. I’ll call a doctor for you.”

Song Yunxuan is stupefied by what her father said.

Song Yan is really good at seizing the opportunity to create trouble.

Chu Mochen stops smiling and turns to Song Yan, “Sorry for disturbing you, Uncle Song.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Chu Mochen looks at Song Yunxuan, who is gnashing her teeth in hatred, then cracks a smile, “Please call me Chu, Uncle Song, or I’ll feel we are not close enough.”

His words give Song Yunqiang and Song Yan a sense of fulfillment.

But Song Yunxuan is glaring at him with her hostile eyes.

Chu Mochen simply cannot refrain himself from being joyful but he attempts to show nothing. He says to Song Yunxuan: “Excuse me, will you take me to the guest room, Miss Song?”

Song Yan is very satisfied with what is happening: “Just call her Xuanxuan.”

Supporting Chu Mochen, she says nothing. Song Yunxuan steps towards the door after she nods at Song Yan.

When both of them leave, Song Yan sits in his seat in a good mood.

Song Yunqiang opens his mouth, “Dad, Childe Chu seems to be really interested in Yunxuan.”

Song Yan glances at his eldest son and says, “He must be, or what else would he do with Yunxuan’s mobile phone number?

Song Yunqiang’s calculating in his mind. He feels surprised about his father’s serious face: “Dad, why are you not happy?”

Song Yan’s face turns grim: “How can a plain girl get the favor of Chu Mochen? Don’t you think it’s strange, Yunqiang?”

Song Yunqiang comforts his father: “Dad, maybe Yunxuan’s beauty attracts him. Men always love beautiful young girls, don’t they?”

Song Yan’s eyes are full of gloom as if they are covered with an invisible mist.

But Song Yunqiang fails to catch that.

Song Yunxuan leaves Chu Mochen alone the moment they get out

Mochen stands up on his own: “Don’t you support me?”

“Don’t you think it’s a self-degradation to play this trick that only women prefer?”

Song Yunxuan continues to go forward.

Chu Mochen follows her behind.

When Song Yunxuan opens the door of the guest room to let him in, Chu Mochen leads her to move behind the door.

He puts out his big slender hand to close the door.

Then Song Yunxuan is pressed against the door. She has no choice but to face him, the man who traps her.

Chu Mochen is thirty-two, the same old as her. His mature and stable image has always made the media admit he is the best representative among successors of powerful families.

However, nobody knows Chu Mochen has such a mean and cunning look.

He trapped the 18-year-old daughter of the Song Family just now.

Song Yunxuan gradually brings her heartbeat under control. After she calms down, Chu Mochen sees indifference reflected in her eyes.

“No matter what happens, it seems you always stay out of it.”

Song Yunxuan gazes at him, “Or what else should I do?”

“Do you know why I accepted your father’s invitation?”

“I won’t marry you!” she replies without any hesitation.

By putting his hands on the door, he traps her in the arms, and then he says with a serious tone: “I don’t want this answer.” His eyes are so distant.

“Well, I’ll satisfy you.”

Her eyes reflect his face. She says peacefully and slowly, “I will never get married.”

A surprise flashes across his eyes. Suddenly, his double eyebrows frown: “Are you crazy?”

“I will never get married! Never! Never!”

She raises her hand to push him away.

Hearing that, Chu Mochen is absolutely still for a few seconds. But soon he leans in a bit, anxiously looks at her: “Anyway, you have to get married someday.”

“No one can marry me.”

“You are really ambitious!” Chu Mochen sneers.

Song Yunxuan feels somewhat weird.

She thought that Chu Mochen would continue to talk about whether she should marry or not, but beyond her expectation, he changes the topic immediately.

His words exactly point to the voice of Song Yunxuan’s heart.

Song Yunxuan has a short dumb then stares at him, “What’s the meaning of that!”

Chu Mochen laughs. He takes his hand back, which just held the door, and moves it to her chin.

As she wants to raise her hand, Chu Mochen grabs her wrist quickly and then tilts up her chin. His eyes are glowing with the danger that belongs traditionally to a man. Song Yunxuan feels he’s like a ferocious beast peeping at her.

“Song Yunxuan, you are just an eighteen-year-old girl of Song Family. Do you think you can get the whole property?

Song Yunxuan’s chin is raised and her eyes are filled with her rage.

“There will never be another Gu Changge in Yuncheng. You’d better not follow her steps.”

He seems to be thinking of something. He gives an increasingly broader grin and says with accumulating derision in his eyes, “Women like Gu Changge always have a bad ending! She can never be buried into Gu Family’s ancestral grave since her beloved husband scattered her ashes at sea. She valued money and interests so much before her death, but she lost everything in the end. She was just a woman who sold her soul for profits!”

“You jerk!”

She slaps Chu Mochen in the face so hard that his head turns sideways.

Chapter 22: Employment of Shao Xue

Xue Tao does not really show a happy appearance even at the day he marries Song Yunying.

On the contrary, Song Yunxuan looks at them with a smile as an audience, with a devout expression of blessing on her face.

For many years in business, it seems that every expression of hers has become a mask.

The most commonly used mask is the smile on the face.

As the saying goes, no one will hit a smiling face.

Many people are set up by the smiling faces.

At the end of the wedding, Chu Mochen wants to send her home. She refuses firmly: “Mr. Chu, I don’t want to see you again.”

“Then I will visit Song Yan personally and asks him to marry me his little daughter.”

After that, before Song Yunxuan refuses, he decides to drive away.

The stylish Porsche sports car is gone.

She is left angry by the roadside.

The man seems to like to mess up her business, Song Yunxuan thinks.

She had no time to think about what he wants to do. On the second day of Song Yunying’s wedding, she plans to ask for the money.

Unexpectedly, 80 million CNY is transferred into her account in such a fast speed that she feels ridiculous about it.

From this, we can see that the child Song Yunying is pregnant with is indeed not Xue Tao’s.

Otherwise, she won’t hand out that money so quick.

She has long been interested in a magazine office which is about to collapse. The magazine is called Zhao’s magazine. Their main magazines are all full of gossip information in the entertainment circle.

But apparently, Yuncheng has countless magazine companies that are experts in collecting information about the entertainment circle.

As a result, Zhao’s magazine enters a state of insufficient income.

She goes to the editorial office on the weekend, finding that its staffs are waiting for the company to go bankrupt.

Therefore, when she enters the magazine office as a young lady of Song Group, the president bows down to welcome her first.

When she is led into the magazine president’s office, without even drinking the coffee she was offered in front of her, she directly came to the point, “I’m going to buy your magazine business this time.”

The president has been longing to throw out this unprofitable business for a long time, so he smiles happily: “Will Miss Song buy it in the name of Song’s company?”

Her lips are pouting and her eyes flashing with maturity and indifference that does not meet her age: “The president should know that if I met you in the name of Song Group, it would not be called acquisition, but merger.”

The president has never thought that an 18-year-old young girl will explain the meaning of each word for him, so he is embarrassed.

“What does Miss Song mean?”

“I’m buying your magazine in my own name. You tell me the price directly.”

The president is absorbed in thought.

If the magazine is purchased in the name of Song’s company, Song’s company would not care whether the price is higher or not.

If the young lady purchases the magazine in her own name, it will be impossible to raise the price too much.

After all, individual acquisitions will do as much as they can.

If the price offered by the magazine is too high and the profit prospects of the magazine are uncertain, the other party will certainly not accept it.

So…

“Miss Song, may I think about it for a little while?”

“I only give you three minutes.”

Song Yunxuan sits in the chair opposite the president, her eyelids slightly drooping, and begins to watch her mobile phone for timing.

As the saying goes, a long night invites bad dreams.

If the other party is uncertain or is still thinking about other good ways, what she pays attention to is to intimidate the other party, let the other party make the fastest and seemingly the most favorable decision in a short term.

“President, you know that your magazine is going to close down. If I don’t take it into my hands now, your staff will probably leave the company in the near future.”

Instead of looking up at the increasingly anxious president on her opposite, she analyzes the actual situation of the magazine for him.

“I’ve heard that you’ve been in arrears with your employee’s salary for two months. If you go on like this, people will be of different minds. Somebody will eventually resign first.”

“Miss Song.”

The President can’t help interrupting her.

Song Yunxuan raises her eyelids, but still keeping a kind and soft smile on her face: “What? Do you have your answer now?”

“If Miss Song can manage the magazine well, I would like to transfer the magazine to Miss Song at a low price of 10 million yuan.”

“Will this be good? After all, the magazine has more than twenty years of history, and it’s not easy to become what it is today.”

Zhao’s magazine is not expanded by magazines at first, but by the morning paper.

Later, Yuncheng Morning Paper emerges. The competition between the two companies leads to Zhao’s transformation into a magazine.

The magazine industry seems to have the same process as the morning news, but in fact, the content is totally different.

The magazine has a single type of audience.

And the content of magazines is most meticulous and quality-oriented.

For example, beauty, clothing, styling, and occasionally it puts in some hot gossip to attract attention.

The veteran editors of Zhao’s magazine insist that they are unwilling to discuss fashion with young editors, which makes the magazines of Zhao’s magazine unsuccessful in attracting young people’s attention.

So the magazine company is becoming worse year after year, and eventually it is going to go bankrupt.

The president knows the magazine’s own situation very well, so he implores Song Yunxuan: “Please do not dismiss my staff.”

“President, you can rest assured that after I take it over, not only will I not dismiss your employees, but I will also help you to make up for the salary arrears of two months.

In this way, employees will feel good about their new boss.

Employees have no bad opinions about their boss, therefore, it’s easier to get along with them in the future, and to lead them too.

Although the president of Zhao’s magazine is not willing to give up the magazine, he nods under the successful plan put forward by Song Yunxuan and promises to give the magazine to Song Yunxuan.

Before Song Yunxuan leaves, President Zhao stretches out his hand, eager to shake hands with her.

But associating her with the unmarried daughter of the Song family who may not be used to shaking hands with old man, he feels embarrassed, withdrawing his hand.

Song Yunxuan smiles and stretches out her hand. “Mr. Song, it’s my pleasure to meet you. I’ll come and sign the contract myself tomorrow.”

She takes the initiative to stretch out her hand in a generous manner, with a natural and dignified smile on her face.

The maturity and intellectuality in her eyes make her more beautiful and dazzling.

Zhao’s president is stunned for a moment before he carefully reaches over and shakes hands with her.

Song Yunxuan gives his palm a light grip, neither light nor heavy.

When she retracts her hand, the self-confidence in her eyes brightens her personality.

Before boarding the bus, she slightly restrains her smile, facing the skyscraper office Shao building on her opposite.

The serene pupil in her eyes reflects the building, as if there are ripples stirred by whirlpools, which pull the building deep into the dark and hazy eyes.

Mr. Shao’s.

I have personally raised and run a business empire, but now it’s dominated by a treacherous thief…

Wait a minute, I’ll get everything back soon. Everything!

No one can take away my belongings

Even if that person used to be my intimate companion.

All these are reflected in her eyes. After a hurried departure, there comes the acquisition of Zhao’s magazine the next day.

The Editorial Department of Zhao’s magazine is renamed Fanxing Magazine. Although the editorial department does not expel the old staff, it begins to recruit new editors at her behest.

She goes to the recruiting department of the editorial office as an interviewer herself.

A woman with short hair gets into her sight in a dark purple three quarter-sleeve sweater jacket.

She looks up slightly and sees her white face with melon seeds like dark pupils, with a gentle smile on her face: “Sit down, please.”

Instead of wearing professional black-and-white suits like other applicants, she’s in a simple three-quarter sleeve jacket with cropped pants and a pair of casual flat shoes that show her unconstrained personality.

Suddenly she feels that the young girl is somewhat similar to her younger self.

“What’s your name?”

Even though her name is on her resume, she asks her before checking her papers.

“Shao Xue.”

“Your surname is Shao?”

Song Yunxuan is slightly surprised because she is now very sensitive to the Chinese character, Shao.

But whenever there is this character, she will pay more attention to it.

The woman nods her head. Her face is clean and beautiful, and her eyebrows are cold and distant.

She does not open her resume and ask her routinely about it.

Instead, she puts her resume under her hand, folds her hands, straightens up her waist, and asks her kindly, “Don’t you think your dress is a little inappropriate for an interview with the editor of a magazine today?”

“I’m here to apply for the position of Data Collection Editor.”

Song Yunxuan smiles at her and says, “Sure? This is not an ordinary job.”

To be frank, data collection editors are no more than paparazzo.

And they’re doing their job in the rain and wind.

Normally, graduates will not apply for this position voluntarily.

It’s a tough job. If you go out frequently, you’ll tan your delicate skin.

You may also encounter accidents when you go to other places.

“Do you usually work in sandals?”

“I don’t think data collection is suitable for wearing high-heels because it often needs you to go out and walk.”

Song Yunxuan thinks the girl is very interesting.

You know, very few girls in their twenties can give up high heels and skirts, but this girl does not have long hair, nor wear high heels and skirts.

Looking at her slight makeup, we can see that the girl is a very practical girl.

Such a girl may not become a qualified fashion editor for a magazine, but she believes that there is a kind of persistence and energy in her heart that no one else can match.

“I’ve noted down your contact information. You can leave and wait for my notification.”

Shao Xue stands up, bows politely, says thank you and leave.

An old editor next to her acting as an interviewer is about to throw Shao Xue’s profile directly into the trash can.

Song Yunxuan takes her wrist with one hand and reminds her, “This girl, we can hire her.”

The thirty-year-old editor looks at her sideways, being met with her pitiless eyes.

A strong coolness is reflected quietly from the bottom of her eyes.

The editor is shocked. And he has to embarrassedly put his resume back on the table.

Song Yunxuan is tired of continuing to act as an interviewer here. She gets up and leaves. An old and well-behaved employee follows her out and says, “Miss Song, don’t you keep looking after the interviews of new employees?”

“No, there’s something wrong with my family. Let me go back home at this time.”

She doesn’t know what the sick old man wants to say.

Early in this morning when she went out, Mr. Song had told her the time to go home.

Chapter 21: Farewell, Shao Tianze

Song Yunying, the second child of the Song Family,is an attractive woman who is well-known throughout Yuncheng.

Many rich young men know her lovely look.

Therefore, a lot of people come to attend her wedding, especially the successors of Business Families from the upper class of Yuncheng.

Few who can’t attend also send costly presents by special messenger.

While wearing a beautiful white wedding dress, Song Yunying is laden with anxiety.

Song Yunxuan wears a light purple dress. After praising her sister’s beauty in front of the mirror, she turns away with a smiling face. The little dress is not studded with diamonds, but with crystals. A silver-white crystal belt is tied around her waist, which sets off her slender waist and beautiful upper circumference. She is not only pure, but also sexy.

Young ladies from the upper class and the rich young men wander around the wedding hall.

Most of them want to utilize this opportunity to discover some information benefiting them.

Meanwhile, Song Yunxuan is drinking cocktail behind an inconspicuous fountain.

The flavor of the cocktail opens her taste buds slightly. She lifts her eyes, watching those distant strangers who are familiar to her ever. She raises mouth, a faint sneer played on her lips.

So, will Shao Tianze come?

She wonders if the man whose wife has just died would attend the wedding.

After all, there is a cooperative relationship between Gu Family and Song Family.

Shao Tianze likes to be elegant as well as decent, he always treats everyone with courtesy. Now, he must pretend to mourn for his wife.

While Song Yunxuan is thinking, a murmur comes from the crowd outside.

It is some young girls in gowns. They are whispering at the outdoor manor: “Look! That is Chu Mochen, the heir of the Chu Family.”

“What? I heard that he was abroad. So why did he come back?”

“It is said he came back for giving condolence to his old friend.”

“Who?”

“Gu Changge, the woman who is still discussed by public even died.”

“Are you saying that tigress of Gu Family?”

At this time, people hear a wine glass cracks with a snap.

Those two talking girls are shocked by the glass which falls at their feet. Then they wince in a hurry, but are still unable to restrain the liquor from spilling on dresses.

“What’s wrong with you?”

“Haven’t you got eyes in your head?”

Those two girls say rudely. Although they come from rich and genteel family, their impolite attitude shows their essence.

Song Yunxuan looks down at the broken glass on the ground and looks up at the two girls.

“I’m sorry. But I just heard you were talking Gu Changge who is died, I’m just a little surprised.”

Song Yunxuan’s words alerts those two talking girls. They ask, “You are not her relatives?”

Song Yunxuan smiles and says, “No, no, my surname is Song and her surname is Gu. How can we possibly be relatives?”

The two girls think it’s reasonable.

One of the girls warns the other: “We should always be careful when discussing Gu Changge in private. After all, although Gu Changge is dead, her husband is alive.”

They have no interest in discussing Gu Changge again. Then they mutter about their dresses and head toward the bathroom.

Song Yunxuan shakes her head. She feels it’s very ridiculous that someone fear Gu Changge’s husband after her death.

Shao Tianze is indeed an admirable actor.

He is a wonderful husband in everyone’s eyes.

With a graceful turn-back, Song Yunxuan finds a man standing in her not far away looked back suddenly.

When looking at this man, her expression changes. She feels her whole body frozen at her place.

It seems that her heart jumps again after freezing for a while, quickly and crazily.

It’s Shao Tianze!

Here Shao Tianze comes!

Shao Tianze is a gentle and handsome man.

From a distance, Song Yunxuan perceives a certain gloom in his smiling face. A kind of perfunctory expression displays on his face obviously——Song Yunxuan knows Shao Tianze is exhausted for disguising himself.

Everyone sighs in heart for Shao Tianze silently because they know he is distressed about losing his wife.

Actually, Shao Tianze is happy with his wife’s death, which gives him an opportunity to master Gu Family’s property.

Moreover, if she’s right, Shao Tianze has made her heart transplanted to Gu Changle successfully.

Otherwise, he would not deign to attend Song Yunying’s wedding.

Song Yunying gets on well with Song Yunjia.

Song Yunjia helped Shao Tianze perform the heart-transplantation operation, and now she is observing Gu Changle’s postoperative situation in the hospital.

Shao Tianze appreciates Song Yunjia very much, so he comes to this wedding.

She looks Shao Tianze up and down from a distance and she is surprised that this man becomes thinner than before.

With a faint smile on her lips, she glances at the red wine in her glass, suddenly she wants to talk to Shao Tianze.

She wonders if Shao Tianze can recognize the appearance of his terrible wife who is living in

Song Yunxuan’s body to revenge after being murdered.

She holds her glass, with a gorgeous smile at the corner of her mouth, and goes over step by step to Shao Tianze’s.

Everything around her seems to have nothing to do with her. In her eyes, in her heart, there is only Shao Tianze.

The hostility from the depth of her eyes locks tightly on Shao Tianze. She itches she could scrape Shao Tianze from his head to feet, and then use the sharp blades to cut him into strips.

At this moment, she feels a violent beat of her heart. Then she clutches the glass in her hand.

“Xuanxuan!”

Suddenly, a familiar male voice around her exclaims.

She stops dead in her track, seeing a man walking towards her. Then the man slips an arm around her waist and turns her away to bypass Shao Tianze ingeniously.

“Why are you here, Chu Mochen?” she asks.

What exactly does he want to do?

She stops short of talking to Shao Tianze but only just.

“I come to congratulate on your sister’s marriage. Don’t you welcome me?”, Chu Mochen said.

There’s a brilliant smile on his lips, and the mild light of his eyes reveals his concern.

“What do you want to do?”

“I helped a lot to your younger sister’s marrying into Xue Family not long ago. Don’t you remember?”

“I have exchanged equal reward for your help. Don’t bargain with me. There’s no word “insatiable” in my dictionary!

After hearing her amusing remarks, Chu Mochen can’t help laughing. He reaches his arm around her waist with force. Then he moves close to her ears and whispers to her in a very close gesture: “If I’m not mistaken, would you like to say hello to Shao Tianze just now?”

Song Yunxuan frowns at him and says: “It’s none of your business.”

“He just loses his wife. And he certainly is not interested in you.”

Song Yunxuan sneers, “I am not interested in him, either.”

“All right, it better be.”

“What if I’m interested in him?” she says as her face shows a slightly aggressive expression.

Chu Mochen kisses her hair lightly and says: “It depends on whether he is interested in you.”

“Maybe we’ll fall in love with each other.”

He moves gently close to her and says in a cold tone, “I will warn him in a special way that he should keep you away because you are my girlfriend.”

“You will invite a nemesis if you destroy other people’s love.”

“But you are mine.”

Song Yunxuan’s heart sinks and the smiles on her face falters. She reaches to push Chu Mochen aside: “I don’t belong to anybody.”

After that, she walks towards the waiter with the tray.

But she doesn’t realize Shao Tianze has noticed her proud facial expression of indifference.

“Mr. Shao, what are you looking for?”

“Nothing.” Shao Tianze answers.

He feels as if he has seen Gu Changge in a piece of illusion.

When fighting over the property rights of Gu Family, Gu Changge beamed with a same

proud expression as Song Yunxuan.

Gu Changge never trusts anyone and always treats people with cold manners.

Actually, she wasn’t a heartless when she was a student.

Song Yunxuan doesn’t stay in the manor yard, but walks into the guest room to rest.

When passing the second floor, she hears Song Yunying’s helpless voice: “Mom, give me that 80 million yuan, please.”

Then a middle-aged woman refused in a cold voice: “Never! I have made great efforts to get the 80 million yuan by forging false accounts. This is the only saving we can get since we’ve been struggling in Song Family for so many years.”

“But, Mom, if I marry to Xue Tao, he will help me seize part of the Song family’s property, and Dad loves me so much.”

As soon as hearing that, Song Yunying’s mother sneers. She tells Song Yunying: “Do you know you’ll be removed from the list of successors once you marry into Xue Family?

Obviously, Song Yunying doesn’t understand what her mother said.

Her mother continues: “I have thought Song Yunqiang only did superficial practice, and he would never matter much. I’ve been hoping you inherit the family fortune. But I’ve never expected that you’ll conceive and marry into Xue Family. Even if your father values you, he won’t allow you to manage the family property if you get married.

“After all, I’m the daughter of So Family, mom.”

“You are also the daughter-in-law of Xue Family.”

That remark settles Song Yunying hash.

Song Yunxuan leans on the wall, waiting to see if Song Yunying could get the 80 million Yuan from her mother’s hands.

Song Yunying seems to have understood what her mother had said and whispers, “Since father has given up on me, I’m hopeless.”

“No, it isn’t like what you think. Aren’t you going to marry Xue Tao? Her mother analyses in no hurry, “As long as you have Xue Tao’s baby and bears the first grandson of Xue Family in the future, even though you can’t hold the Song family’s property, you can still get a firm foothold in the Xue family.

“Mom…” Song Yunying says with a wry smile.

“What’s wrong?” Song Yunying’s mother asks with concern as she finds something different with her daughter.

At this point, Song Yunying looks up at her mother and says: “I am not pregnant with Xue”

“What?” Song Yunying’s mother holds her daughter’s shoulder, “What are you talking about?”

“If Xue Tao knows, he will not marry me! I’ll lose everything at that time!”

Needless to say, Song Yunying’s mother understands the truth that a mother’s dignity depends on her daughter’s. So, when she hears her daughter’s words, her face turns white.

“Mom, someone is going to tell Xue Tao that secret. She extorts 80 million dollars from me as a condition for keeping secret! Give me the money, please.”

Hearing this, Song Yunxuan has no relish for keeping listening to it.

Mostly Song Yunying’s mother will struggle.

But no matter how long she struggles, as long as she is clear-thinking, she will surrender eighty million dollars.

That’s because Song Yunying can only enter into Xue Family by keeping this secret.

And if she marries into the Xue family and gains a firm foothold, 80 million will be a small sacrifice for her.

No doubt, for Song Yunxuan, it means she will get one step closer to killing Shao Tianze.

In the hands of a businessman who has entered into business circle since fifteen and has seventeen years of experience, eighty million yuan can be fully utilized, creating huge profits that are unimaginable for others.

Chapter 20: I want to marry you

Even Song Yunying would never guess that her secret would be clearly known by Song Yunxuan.

The contact number on Song Yunxuan’s mobile phone makes her feel extremely dazzling.

She can’t help but want to reach out and grab that mobile phone, and then ruthlessly throw it on the ground and step on it.

However, when she really starts to try to grab it, Song Yunxuan cleverly steps back and reminds her, “If you want to grab it, maybe, this person will call Xue Tao and contend for the custody of the child.”

Song Yunying’s face turns pale in an instant.

As if she were beaten hard with a whip, she steps back unsteadily. “How do you have Wang Qi’s telephone number?”

“As the aunt of the child in your belly, of course I have to find out who the child’s biological father is.”

Yes, Song Yunying had more than one boyfriend before. Xue Tao is one of them.

Another one named Wang Qi also has a close relationship with her.

As long as Xue Tao knew that the child’s biological father was not him, how could he marry Song Yunying?

However, in order to know the secret, she broke Song Yunying’s cell phone graphics lock, which really took her a lot of effort.

She used to be very interested in such complicated things.

When Shao Tianze’s cellphone secret code pattern was changed again and again, she could always crack it in less than ten minutes.

Whenever Shao Tianze found out that she had peeked at his cell phone, he would laugh and pull her into her arms and ask if she had found anything.

She could not have found nothing.

But she was always treating him harshly by pretending to have found something.

He was not angry at all.

Now think about it, Shao Tianze had already betrayed her at that time. How could he put all his secrets on his mobile phone?

The cell phone she was shown was just a cover-up tool.

Song Yunying is speechless and shocked by the phone number that she gives out.

Song Yunxuan walks over and smiles. “Sister, remember what I’ve said. The next day after your marriage, I will receive the equivalent of your dowry. Otherwise, don’t blame me.”

Her last few words are gentle, but having a chilling effect.

With tears in her eyes, Song Yunying says, “Yunxuan, how can I have so much money?”

“You don’t have that amount of money, but it doesn’t mean your mother doesn’t. Over the years, your mother has been embezzling a lot from the Song Family.”

Song Yunxuan passes by Song Yunying who stands there feeling startled, and the words she said makes Song Yunying feel that all the secrets were penetrated by her.

Song Yunxuan keeps on walking, looking sideways at the man driving a blue Porsche sports car. He rolls halfway down the window, smiling at her.

She is shocked: “Chu Mochen.”

Before she can respond, her cell phone in her pocket suddenly rings.

She picks up the phone, and then hears a familiar and magnetic voice from a man: “Xuanxuan.”

Her lips pouts slightly and her eyebrows frowns. “Chu Mochen, how do you know my mobile phone number?”

“Your eldest brother told me.”

Song Yunxuan’s eyebrows wrinkles up.

Therefore, Chu Mochen has already met Song Yunqiang, she thinks.

According to Song Yunqiang’s personality, as long as he knows that Chu Mochen has any affection for his sister, he will let her marry to him at once.

What on earth does this man want to do?

“Do you remember what you promised me that day?”

“You are already my woman. I want to marry you.”

Song Yunxuan smiles and looks faintly at the blue Porsche that has dropped half of its windowpane. Her eyes meet the man’s. “I won’t associate with the man who wants to marry me. Goodbye, Mr. Chu.”

After that, she presses the end button to end the call.

The man wants her body.

She wants to take advantage of the man’s connections.

Now that mutual use is over, she has no plan to meet him again for the time being.

Chu Mochen wants to marry her?

Let’s see if she can be touched by his skill.

With a lesson from Shao Tianze, she is extremely disgusted with these ruthless lower-body animals and marriage.
