To escape being sold for betrothal gifts, Song Mai chooses to have a flash marriage with a stranger, Chu Xing, on the same day. After getting their marriage certificate, she still doesn't know ...
Song Mai's soft-spoken manner was completely different from her serious expression just now. Chu Yunxing looked at her like this and a smile slowly appeared on his lips.
Ji Feng was terrified by the doting expression on Chu Yunxing's face. Unbeknownst to him, the feelings between Chu Yunxing and Song Mai had deepened to this extent.
The two of them were very compatible and seemed to be a perfect match.
Ji Feng lowered his eyes to hide the sadness in his heart, said a simple goodbye, and got up to leave.
Chu Yunxing watched his retreating figure, his eyes flickering slightly with a scrutinizing expression.
Liu Jia'er was surprised that Ji Fenghe could find her so quickly, and subconsciously frowned: "What do you want with me?"
The two were in a corner of the coffee shop, and no one would notice their movements.
Ji Fenghe's eyes flashed with anger. He lowered his voice and gritted his teeth as he said, "Didn't I tell you not to make any rash moves before I contacted you?"
"I didn't act rashly, but I didn't expect that woman to be so stupid as to try to take the child away to threaten Song Mai." Liu Jia'er admired her nails, her lips curled in mockery.
"Did your boss approve of you doing this?"
Upon hearing the name of that person, Liu Jiaer's expression immediately turned serious: "It has nothing to do with the boss; it's my decision to do this."
Ji Feng noticed the red mark on her neck, his gaze lingered for a moment, and he said with a mocking tone, "You really won't give up until you achieve your goal."
“The boss is handsome, so even if something really happened between us, I wouldn’t be at a disadvantage. Besides, Chu Yunxing doesn’t even like me, so at least I’m free to do whatever I want now.” Liu Jia’er said smugly. “On the contrary, you’ve been a simp for so long, and you still haven’t gotten anything.”
"I can tacitly approve of you breaking up Chu Yunxing and Song Mai, but I warn you, do not harm them, mother and daughter."
Liu Jia'er could tell from Ji Fenghe's angry tone that she had crossed his line.
Although I am not afraid of him at the moment, we are still partners and there should be no more conflicts between us.
"Okay, okay, I promise this won't happen again. But all of this is on the condition that she doesn't provoke me first, otherwise I will definitely not hold back."
Ji Feng frowned, but couldn't find a way to refute him.
"The boss has some new information. He hopes you can develop a new program as soon as possible." Liu Jia'er's expression gradually became serious as she began to get down to business.
“Mai Zi’s work is indeed outstanding, and AI cannot quickly learn her content,” Ji Fenghe said with difficulty.
"You should understand that the reason we strongly recommended Song Mai to become a designer was because of her value. Without her expertise, how could the boss have helped you complete the plan of substituting one person for another?"
After Liu Jiaer finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but burst into laughter: "But it's no wonder the boss is angry. Such a flawless plan was still ruined by you."
“Mai Zi is not as simple as you think. Now she has not only the Chu family behind her, but also the Shen family…”
"The boss doesn't want to hear this nonsense. Since Song Mai has so many powerful backers, we should take them down one by one and not waste any more time." Liu Jia'er interrupted her impatiently, picked up her bag, and walked away with her head held high.
Ji Feng and a person sat in the same spot, dejected.
These past few days, Song Mai has been taking An'an sightseeing around Nancheng.
Looking at the smile on An'an's face, she was naturally happy from the bottom of her heart.
During this time, I bumped into Qian Xiran, but I didn't say anything. I only saw her leaving in a disheveled state.
In fact, Song Mai did not want her relationship with her to become so strained, after all, the Shen family was involved.
Song Mai naturally felt guilty for causing such a big problem to the Shen family in Nancheng.
Shen Xiujing had been by her side the whole time. Seeing her hesitant expression, he said in a low voice, "Don't worry, she's always like this. Hopefully, this incident will teach her a lesson and she won't be as spoiled as before."
Song Mai turned to look at him seriously: "If I said that she was also a pitiful person, would you believe me?"
It was just a thoughtless remark, but unexpectedly, Shen Xiujing looked at him with a serious expression and nodded gently: "I believe you. I'm willing to believe anything you say."
Now that things have come to this, it's understandable that Song Mai is overthinking things.
If a complete stranger can trust you so unreservedly, he's either a madman or he has ulterior motives.
[Why does Shen Xiujing look so strange? Could it be that she really has feelings for me?]
These words made Chu Yunxing, who had just arrived, widen his eyes in surprise.
He had originally intended to drive to pick up Song Mai and An An to take them to the restaurant, but he hadn't expected to hear Song Mai's inner thoughts as soon as he arrived at the parking lot.
Could it be that mind-reading abilities can be heard from this far away?
Chu Yunxing didn't dare to delay and immediately ran off to find Song Mai.
"What happened? Why are you in such a panic?" Song Mai panicked as she watched him run towards her.
Chu Yunxing always appeared mature and composed in front of him, and would never be so reckless as he was now, much less rush over directly.
Song Mai's first thought was that Chu Yunxing knew she was in danger. Her eyes widened, and she mentally prepared herself for his next words.
Unexpectedly, Chu Yunxing simply said, "It's nothing, I just missed you so much."
As he said this, he glanced at Shen Xiujing as if it were an accident.
He felt even more smug when he noticed a hint of anger on the other person's face.
Song Mai looked puzzled: "When did you become so mushy?"
Ever since she and Chu Yunxing started dating, he seemed like a different person. He was always inexplicably excited and even said some strange things to her.
Just as Chu Yunxing was about to explain, Song Mai gently placed her slender hand on his forehead, looking at him with concern: "What's wrong with you? Could it be that you have a fever?"
"Pfft." Shen Xiujing laughed out loud without giving Song Mai any face, and silently gave her a thumbs up.
"I'm fine. It's getting late. Let me take you and An'an for a walk."
Without saying a word, he directly put the mother and daughter into the car.
Shen Xiujing watched their departing figures helplessly: "My brother-in-law doesn't seem as steady as the rumors suggest. Can he really take good care of my sister?"
He couldn't understand it, so he shrugged helplessly and turned to leave.
Song Mai only realized what was happening after she got into the car, and subconsciously said, "How can you be so rude?"
"I was just worried you were hungry, that's all." Chu Yunxing maintained a smile throughout.
Song Mai looked helpless. Was she really worried that we would go hungry?
