Chapter 25 Chapter 25 It can’t be so bloody, right?

25

"Damn woman, she's finally playing with fire."

-

After coming out of the VIP room, Song Jing took out his mobile phone to check the messages.

Xu Zhixi: [Do you think it would be rude to leave a banquet like this midway?]

Song Jing: [No. I'll pick you up.]

Xu Zhixi smiled and asked, "You're back?"

His answer was so firm that if someone didn't know, they would think he was the organizer of the banquet.

Song Jing hadn't yet told Xu Zhixi that he was back from his "business trip." When she asked him, he finally said, "Yes, I'm back."

Xu Zhixi: [When will you arrive? I'll check the time and come out.]

Song Jing replied: [Anytime.]

Xu Zhixi put away her phone and was already planning to run away, lest the Song family send her jewelry for no apparent reason again, which she really couldn't bear.

She glanced around and saw that the news that two priceless jewels had just been sent to her was gradually spreading in the banquet. From time to time, people would look in her direction, and the brave ones had already come over to toast her.

There were several people in a row. At the beginning, Xu Zhixi would take small sips, but later on, he only dared to touch the wine with his lips before putting it down, for fear that he would get drunk.

Although the security in this kind of place is tight, it is too tight. It is more advantageous for those who are in high positions and have power. If they are not careful, they may lose themselves.

She was not familiar with the circle of wealthy families, so she naturally felt more uncertain.

After dismissing the group of people who had come to pry into her life, Xu Zhixi finally had the chance to tell Liao Keke she was leaving. Unlike her, who was unfamiliar with this circle, Liao Keke was well-versed in it. At first, she was busy educating her on the little things about wealthy families. Later, when a few friends came over, she became friendly with them.

Liao Keke wanted to bring her in, but Xu Zhixi was focused on taking the civil service exam and didn't want to be involved in the complicated relationships with wealthy families, so she politely declined.

"Then I'll arrange for someone to take you back." Liao Keke drank a little too much. She stood up from the chair with flushed cheeks, looking like she was going to make arrangements immediately.

Xu Zhixi pushed the man back and chuckled, "No need. Won't the hotel arrange for someone to take me there? You've drunk so much, you'd better not come out and get some fresh air."

Liao Keke clapped her hands on her cheeks, her voice sounding a little drunk. "Then tell me when you get home. I don't know what to do when I get home. And..." She leaned close to her ear mysteriously, "Don't worry, no matter how many people ask me about you, I will keep my mouth shut. We in the Liao family are the most trustworthy!"

Xu Zhixi smiled: "Have fun."

"Jewelry is still the happiest."

“…”

The hotel has arranged a driver to pick up and drop off guests, but Xu Zhixi declined.

Miss PR led the way in front and sent Xu Zhixi out of the banquet hall. She was about to take the elevator directly to the hotel lobby, and the door behind her suddenly opened again.

Lin Ke hurriedly said, "Ms. Xu."

Xu Zhixi turned around and saw that it was Lin Ke. She was so scared that she almost ran away, but luckily she held herself back. She forced a smile and said, "Hello, is there anything else I can help you with?"

Lin Ke waved to Miss PR on the side. The latter understood, nodded respectfully, and then left.

Lin Ke was still gentlemanly and amiable, with an elegant smile on his face. He extended his hand to lead the way: "I'll take Miss Xu."

Xu Zhixi's eyes flashed with complexity. Liao Keke had just told her that Butler Lin Ke was Chairman Song's most capable confidant, to the point where meeting him was like meeting Chairman Song himself. Just now, he had asked her to personally deliver the jewelry, and now he was sending her out personally, without explaining his purpose. It was truly troubling.

"...Then thank you for your help." One has to bow their heads under someone's eaves. If the other party truly had ulterior motives and revealed their hand, she would be finished. Xu Zhixi smiled wryly and followed him to the elevator.

Lin Ke pressed the elevator button and waited for Xu Zhixi to go in first before following in.

"The jewelry will be personally delivered to your residence shortly." His voice was just the right amount of gentleness as the elevator descended. "It won't be long. By the time you get home, the jewelry will be almost there."

In order to avoid inconvenience for her, we specially arranged for someone to deliver the goods to her home.

The jewelry box was not very big, but it was too precious. It was not safe for a little girl to carry it back home in the middle of the night.

Xu Zhixi didn't want it at all and didn't know what to say. She could only purse her lips and smile to hide her helplessness.

It is said that one should be grateful for what one has received, but I don’t know what this couple is up to. They insisted on forcing such precious high-end jewelry on her without telling her their purpose.

It's not just a few bucks, she's really stressed. TT

Lin Ke smiled and asked, "Ms. Xu doesn't seem to like this kind of occasion very much?"

How could Xu Zhixi dare to say that she didn't like it? This was a banquet that others had to fight hard to get into. If she said that she didn't like it, wouldn't she be ungrateful?

But even if they tell lies, they are not fools.

"This is my first time attending such a luxurious banquet, so I'm a little uncomfortable."

Lin Ke nodded: "Our young master is not used to it either. Otherwise, he should be present at today's banquet."

Xu Zhixi smiled awkwardly.

What does his young master have to do with her?

"...Young Master Song is very busy, perhaps he is busy with something."

"Not really." Lin Ke couldn't help but smile. The elevator just arrived, and he extended his hand to lead Xu Zhixi out first, then followed behind him.

"Our young master has a personality similar to Miss Xu's, very quiet. He doesn't really like such lively occasions and would rather find something to do in the company."

"Then I'm truly honored." Xu Zhixi's smile became increasingly fake, as he simply forced himself to chat: "You actually have the same personality as Young Master Song."

Oh.

Can it be the same?

His young master has a stable personality because he was raised with money, but she is stable because she is poor, okay?

Lin Ke: "Ms. Xu is too modest. Our young master is lucky to have the same hobby as Miss Xu."

“…”

"Our young master has never had many female friends. If it's Miss Xu, I think he would be happy to make friends with her."

Whether his young master had any female friends was none of her business. Xu Zhixi smiled awkwardly but politely: "Maybe."

Lin Ke seemed to see through her thoughts and chuckled: "You will know in the future."

Noticing a white figure not far away that had almost melted into the night, Xu Zhixi hurriedly said goodbye to the person beside him, maintaining a final calm and polite manner: "Please take me out in person. My boyfriend is here to pick me up, so I'll be leaving first. I wish Mr. and Mrs. Song a good time."

She pronounced the word "boyfriend" very clearly, afraid that Lin Ke didn't hear it.

Lin Ke looked up and saw the girl's thin figure gradually blending into the night. She walked straight towards the tall man standing next to the car in front of her. Her steps were very fast, and she simply ran for the last few steps.

The man opened his arms and she fell into his arms.

A tenderness I have never seen before.

It seems that the young master really likes it.

Lin Ke smiled, and when he looked away, he suddenly met Song Jing's bottomless pupils. From a distance that was neither far nor near, his eyes clearly contained inquiry, warning, and the intimidation that he had acquired from standing in a high position for many years.

Lin Ke was stunned. By the time he reacted, the two men had already driven away.

…

In the car, Xu Zhixi looked at the man who was skillfully controlling the steering wheel beside her, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Song Jing noticed it and reached out to ruffle her hair: "What's wrong? Are you not having fun?"

Xu Zhixi whispered, "I told you, you can't be angry."

"I'm not angry."

"The chairman of the Song Group is the Song that everyone knows." Xu Zhixi paused, observing his expression, and spoke hesitantly, "He... gave me a very expensive necklace. I didn't know how to refuse, so I accepted it."

However, after he finished speaking, the expected anger did not appear, and Xu Zhixi was stunned.

Last time, when she looked at the domineering president a few more times, Song Jing got jealous, but this time he was so calm.

Song Jing turned his head and looked at her: "Why do you think he gave you the necklace?"

Xu Zhixi was also puzzled about this.

It was highly unlikely that Mr. Song would fall for her. After all, he had just gotten married, and his wife, Chu Chaoyan, was exceptionally talented, so it was unlikely that he would be tempted by someone else so quickly.

What's more, his wife was also at the party at that time. If he really liked her, he would not be so unscrupulous as to show his affection to her in public.

And Chu Chaoyan also gave her jewelry, so this possibility is basically ruled out.

She left the banquet with this doubt in her mind, and until she chatted with the housekeeper Lin Ke just now, she remembered the "Mr. Song" her father mentioned to her on the day Qingming returned home. She suddenly felt that her father's concerns at that time seemed to be true.

It seemed as if Mr. Song really wanted to capture her and make her his daughter-in-law.

Once this guess got into his mind, it could never come out. The more Xu Zhixi thought about it, the more horrible it became.

It can’t be that ridiculous. Is it true that she is the only one who can make Young Master Song “get up”?

Just now, Butler Lin Ke said that there was no woman around his young master, and said that if it was her, it would be different, and Young Master Song would be happy to make friends with her.

How could she deserve the special treatment from Young Master Song?

Except he has a certain dysfunction.

So the couple's advances towards her weren't inexplicable, but were meant to make her...

Continuing the family line?

He didn't dare to think about it any further. A strong sense of unease surged in his heart, and even Xu Zhixi's voice trembled: "Song Jing..."

The black Mercedes-Benz shuttled through the thick darkness, almost merging with the night, vast and boundless.

Hearing Xu Zhixi's panicked voice, the next second, Song Jing stepped on the brakes and pulled over.

Xu Zhixi was immersed in her own world and was completely unaware that the car had stopped. She only looked up when Song Jing held her hand.

"What's wrong?" Song Jing frowned and stroked her forehead with his big hand. "Are you feeling unwell?"

Xu Zhixi's eyes were filled with anxiety, and she quickly grabbed his hand: "Is there something wrong with Master Song?"

“…”

Song Jing froze for a moment, not understanding what she meant: "Hmm?"

Xu Zhixi's fair face was filled with confusion. He didn't know what to say. Some words were always so difficult to say. "That's it, that aspect of him..."

"What?"

"Sexual dysfunction." Xu Zhixi was annoyed by the question and said without hesitation, "It means I can't have sex."

She had to say it so bluntly.

Apart from this, she could not think of any reason that would make a top wealthy family like the Song family take the initiative to show goodwill to her and promote their son.

After all, the heir to the Song Group doesn't look like a man who can live without a woman.

Song Jing really couldn't have expected that his true identity would become such an image in her eyes.

He frowned because of her sexual dysfunction. But he quickly calmed down and narrowed his eyes: "Have you met Master Song? How do you know he has a sexual dysfunction?"

What on earth was the reason that gave her this illusion?

Did she forget how loudly she cried during those days?

Xu Zhixi was indeed shy about discussing a man's "that aspect" so openly. His panic dissipated a lot, and he said uncomfortably: "I haven't seen it, but it doesn't stop me from guessing it based on the outside world's evaluation of him."

He laughed in an ambiguous tone, his voice expressionless: "As expected of a civil service exam student, you've figured this out." It's obvious that he's studied judgment and reasoning a lot to be able to reason to such a level.

Xu Zhixi's cheeks heated up: "The point is not this, the point is..."

Song Jing looked at her and asked calmly, "What's the point?"

Xu Zhixi paused and suddenly couldn't speak.

How do you say this?

Would Song Jing think she was too narcissistic? She actually had such an outrageous idea.

"Can't say it?" He laughed, his tone cold, "Then go home first."

go home?

Speaking of this, Xu Zhixi suddenly realized that she didn't ask which house Song Jing was going to.

"Your home." He seemed to know what she was thinking and answered her question.

Now, he just wants to prove it.

He has no obstacles.
