Chapter 60, The 60th Beam of Light: "Approaching you has another purpose."...

"I want to see if you're really playing the love card or just seeking revenge..."

Bai Shuyan lowered her gaze slightly, finally landing on the magazine page on the table that had just been blown open by the wind. The man in the picture was dressed in a suit and tie, aloof and dignified. You couldn't even see his beautiful eyes unless you looked closely...

Bai Shuyan saw him that way, and was still amazed. "In that case, let's have a competition." Remembering that today was the deadline for her reply to the Yu Group, she casually replied.

"Onboarding confirmed."

Since Song Xingyun started dating Yu Mushang publicly, she seems more at ease than before, and she often complains that she was "making a fuss over nothing" and "wasting her time by having a secret relationship."

Although Ying Qi would tease her from time to time at first, Song Xingyun can now tease him back, for example, "Did Wenwen come to see you today?"

Upon hearing Wen Ying's name, Ying Qi would usually run away in fright. This was no longer the stern and unsmiling Secretary Ying from the Yu Group!

Life went on peacefully, and the sales of the comic book "Blind Sea Lighthouse" kept hitting new highs. Every day they received "good news".

Song Xingyun smiled so much that she developed some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. It wasn't just because of the sales results, but more importantly, because this tactile comic book really made more people pay attention to the hardships faced by the visually impaired, and even more and more people spontaneously joined the charity project.

Several projects for assistive devices for the blind that they had previously mentioned at the meeting have also made significant progress.

After several improvements, the smart cane was finally launched on the market, and the positive feedback received was much greater than the survey results suggested. Moreover, the blind-assisting robot proposed by Song Xingyun at that time was also officially launched.

She's been eager and full of energy lately.

The days passed by in such a fulfilling way, but the saying "the calm before the storm" is indeed true.

On this day,

"Boss!" It was Ying Qi's loud voice again, but the emotion in his voice was different from the usual joy, which even Song Xingyun could hear.

"What happened?" Yu Mushang had known Ying Qi for many years and naturally understood his temperament better.

Ying Qi handed him a document, and Yu Mushang began to read it by touch.

Ying Qi took a big gulp of water before getting to the point, "Someone posted about Assistant Song online, labeling her a 'habitual plagiarist'! It's causing a huge uproar online, and some people are even boycotting 'The Lighthouse in the Blind Sea'."

Song Xingyun heard it clearly and understood it perfectly; her brows furrowed deeply. "Plagiarism?"

Yu Mushang's finger stopped on the last word of the document, "Have you found the source?"

Ying Qi glanced at Song Xingyun before speaking, "We found the IP address of the poster, which belongs to Assistant Song's former employer, Yingmeng Comics Studio."

Song Xingyun thought to herself: Just as I expected.

Ying Qi then scratched his head again, "But when we did the background check, the evaluation of Assistant Song was excellent."

"Why are they suddenly turning the tables on me?"

Song Xingyun sneered, "Because there's only one person in the entire company I don't get along with, and if I'm not mistaken, it's Zhong Shichao."

Yu Mushang recognized the name. "The man I met at the Liuxi Courtyard that day?"

Song Xingyun hummed in agreement and explained her grievances with Zhong Shichao to the two of them. Ying Qi gritted his teeth as he listened, "Isn't this person crying 'stop thief' while being the thief himself?"

Song Xingyun shrugged. "There's nothing I can do. The evidence I submitted to higher authorities is useless against him. He has connections in high places."

She finished speaking with a hint of sadness and grievance, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. Has this caused a lot of losses to the company?"

She was looking at Yu Mushang as she spoke when Ying Qi's phone rang. "I'll be right there."

He turned to Yu Mushang and said, "Boss, the news has reached the company's senior management. Those old fogies are starting to cause trouble again. I need to go back and deal with it."

"Hmm." Yu Mushang responded. As Ying Qi left, he patted Song Xingyun on the shoulder, "Don't be afraid, good will always prevail over evil." Then came the sound of the door closing behind him.

Suddenly, only the two of them were left in Yu Mushang's office, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"What are you thinking about?" Yu Mushang asked first, afraid that she would get lost in her own emotions.

Song Xingyun sensed his concern for her and squeezed his hand gently. "I'm fine, I'm just thinking of a solution."

Yu Mushang felt a little relieved. "What have you figured out?"

"I haven't thought things through enough, sigh." Song Xingyun slumped for a second before perking up again, letting out a cold snort. "I haven't even settled accounts with the dog yet, and it's already trying to bite me again. If I don't show my power, it really thinks I'm easy to bully!"

"This time I'm determined to gather all the evidence so that old Deng can never recover."

Song Xingyun didn't expect to run into Bai Shuyan again at Villa No. 9. She was just coming out of Yu Mushang's office. "Miss Bai?"

Bai Shuyan stopped and stared at her for three seconds, then turned her head to look at the door of Yu Mushang's office. "Assistant Song, isn't there any misunderstanding?" She was surprised that Song Xingyun was so calm.

Song Xingyun: ?

It seems she knows about her relationship with Yu Mushang...

Thinking of this, Song Xingyun smiled and said, "Miss Bai is joking. Is there anything here that could cause me to misunderstand?"

"Let me see Miss Bai out."

Bai Shuyan was surprised again, then nodded and said as she walked, "You trust him quite a bit."

"Aren't you afraid I'll seduce him, or force myself on him?"

Song Xingyun was startled by her bold words, and her smile became somewhat unnatural. "Miss Bai is joking. You are not that kind of person." She thought that Bai Shuyan was, after all, a young lady from a high-class family, and should disdain such despicable behavior.

Bai Shuyan seemed to see through her thoughts. "Hmm, I do think that Yu Mushang and I are the same type of people. So, Assistant Song, where do you think your advantages lie? I've thought about it carefully, but I can't find any that match?"

Song Xingyun was somewhat unhappy to hear this, but she still had a smile on her face. "If Miss Bai thinks that a relationship needs to be accompanied by many preconditions to be perfect, then I cannot agree."

"Miss Bai shouldn't be that kind of old-fashioned person." The idea of ​​marrying someone of equal social standing is a bit outdated. During the time she's been with Yu Mushang, she has repeatedly verified that their values ​​align. It's the kind of "matching in social standing" in terms of mindset that is truly invaluable.

Seeing her composure, Bai Shuyan felt a surge of admiration, which also stirred her sympathy. She reminded her, "Aren't you afraid that he has ulterior motives for approaching you?"

Is there another motive? What does she possess that Yu Mushang could possibly gain?

Before she could ponder her words, the man from the conversation caught up and suddenly asked, "What are you talking about?"

Bai Shuyan hadn't expected him to be watching so closely. She chuckled and said, "It's nothing, just chatting with Assistant Song for a bit. I'll leave you here." They had just reached the front door.

Before leaving, she leaned close to Song Xingyun and whispered something to her, "What you think you like might not be so innocent, little white rabbit."

After Bai Shuyan finished speaking, she left gracefully, leaving Song Xingyun frowning on the spot. Yu Mushang walked up to her at this moment, saying, "I didn't expect you and her to have something to talk about."

"It shouldn't be like this..."

His voice pulled Song Xingyun back to reality. "Shouldn't what?"

Yu Mushang lowered his head and pressed his forehead against hers, gently rubbing it from side to side. "She wanted to meet me privately before, and wanted to go on a blind date with me. So she could be considered half of your love rival, right?"

"Shouldn't it be that rivals in love are especially hostile to each other?"

It was rare for Song Xingyun to hear him say something so unserious, so she poked him away with her finger, saying, "Are you trying to make me jealous? No way."

Before Yu Mushang's lips drooped, she added, "Who told me to trust you so much!"

Yu Mushang smiled again. Her words were enough to stir his emotions. Love truly has a myriad of flavors. "Let's go, let's go feed the longevity pig."

Although it was winter, the sun was shining brightly today. The two brought their two Labrador Retrievers to the yard and let them run around freely. Although Yu Mushang was blind, he could still throw a frisbee after judging the direction.

The two people and two dogs played together happily. When they stopped, Song Xingyun couldn't help but sigh inwardly, wondering if God had truly kept His word and started to favor her ever since that heavy rain when they reunited...

Perhaps truly influenced by Bai Shuyan's words, Song Xingyun was distracted from time to time throughout the day, and even couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning in bed a few times before bed. "Hey, wait, what did she mean by that? Don't keep people in suspense like that."

She thought that Bai Shuyan wouldn't deliberately say something unfounded just to mess with her mind, so what was the basis for what she said?

Song Xingyun finally fell asleep with these questions in mind. It is said that what you think about during the day, you dream about at night, but tonight, it was not Bai Shuyan who entered her dream, but Song Huazhang.

Fortunately, this time it wasn't a heartbreaking scene.

"Dad, you haven't come to see me in so long." Song Xingyun cried in her dream, looking at her father whom she hadn't seen for so long.

Song Huazhang laughed, "I thought our Xingxing had forgotten their father."

Song Xingyun feigned anger, "How could that be! Daddy is still so handsome." His appearance remained unchanged from when he left. "Maybe when you come to see me again, a long, long time from now, I'll be older than you..."

Song Huazhang patted her head, "In my eyes, you'll always be a little bean." He suddenly sighed, "Xingxing, you must be happy."

Song Xingyun then remembered to say to him, "Dad, did you come to see me because you sensed that I was very happy? I... am in a relationship."

"He is a very good person."

Her story with Yu Mushang was rather long, and she didn't know where to begin. The figure of Song Huazhang in front of her was becoming increasingly faint and blurry, as if she didn't have time to tell him anymore.

"Dad! Please don't go!" She cried again, her tears obscuring Song Huazhang's face.

All I could hear was him repeating over and over again, "You must be happy."

"must......"

When Song Xingyun opened her eyes again, the first thing she touched was a pillow that was mostly wet. The dream was so vivid that she still remembered it when she had breakfast with the two people in Villa No. 9 more than an hour later. She took the initiative to say, "I dreamed about my father last night."

Upon hearing this, Yu Mushang's hand, which had just picked up the milk glass, trembled, and some milk spilled out...

"Really? Uncle came to see you in your dream?" Ying Qi replied, with a sandwich in her mouth.

After Song Xingyun hummed in agreement, she looked at Yu Mushang, who had remained silent, and asked, "Why don't you ask me what he told me?"
