The water cup was empty, and Song Ci stood up to get another glass of water to make a cup of chrysanthemum tea. At this moment, her cell phone rang.
Song Ci saw the caller's name and sighed regretfully. It looked like she wouldn't be able to drink her cup of chrysanthemum tea today. She rinsed the cup, put it in the cabinet, and then answered the phone.
The caller was his adoptive father Mu Mian.
"Song Ci, come to the office. I have something to ask you." Mu Mian's voice finally lost its composure, filled with the anger of being deceived. Without giving Song Ci a chance to respond, Mu Mian hung up the phone.
Song Ci had anticipated this drama, so after getting up early in the morning, she found a red dress that would make her look impressive and even put on some makeup. In truth, every time she faced Mu Mian, Song Ci felt a pang of fear. After all, in her previous life, she and Song Fei had both died at his hands.
Song Ci has a fear of Mu Mian that comes from the soul.
Song Ci called Long Yu and waited until he came downstairs before going downstairs.
After Song Ci got in the car, Long Yu asked her, "Song..." Realizing that Song Ci and Han Zhan were already married, it was no longer appropriate to call her Miss Song. Long Yu quickly changed the subject, "Madam, where are you going?"
Song Ci was not used to this title, but she had to learn to be Mrs. Han. "Go to Chaoyang Company."
"OK."
Sansheng Bridge is Wangdong City's commercial and financial district. Its center is a pedestrian shopping street, surrounded by numerous companies of all sizes. Chaoyang Company, Chuandong Group, and Zeus Aviation are all located in that area.
Chaoyang Company and Zeus Aviation were only two blocks apart. It was past nine o'clock, not office hours, so there was no traffic. It took the car just over forty minutes to reach Sansheng Bridge.
Seeing Song Ci's mind wandering outside, Long Yu had to remind her: "Madam, we're here."
Song Ci nodded. She sat in the car and glanced out the window at the Chaoyang Company's headquarters. In her previous life, Song Ci had worked at Chaoyang Company for two years. After getting married at 24, she closed the business and stayed home, becoming an idle waste.
Song Ci clenched her fists and told herself she didn't need to be afraid anymore. In this life, she had already rejected Mu Mian's proposal. She didn't join Chaoyang, but she would eventually become a qualified captain. She didn't have to marry that idiot Cheng Ziang. She was already Han Zhan's wife.
She won't make the same mistake again!
Thinking this way, Song Ci felt a surge of strength in her body. "Brother Long, come with me." Song Ci was worried that Mu Mian would get angry and start a fight with her. There was no reason for her to run over and put her face close to Mu Mian to be hit.
Long Yu said: "Okay."
--
Chaoyang Company.
The secretary knocked on the door of Mu Mian's office.
"Mr. Mu."
Mu Mian had been using his computer to read the gossip posts on the forum about Song Ci and Han Zhan's marriage, and his face was very grim. When he heard his secretary's voice, he looked up with an unhappy expression and asked the secretary in a bad tone, "What's the matter?"
The entire Chaoyang Company now knew about Song Ci's marriage. The secretary rarely saw Mu Mian with such a frightening expression, and she felt a little scared. She knew that Song Ci must have angered Mu Mian by marrying Han Zhan without his permission. But the secretary had to bite the bullet and say, "Your daughter, Miss Song Ci, is here and is waiting for you outside."
Hearing this, Mu Mian's expression darkened. "Let her in."
The secretary quickly retreated. She closed the door, turned around, and said to Song Ci, who was standing in front of the secretary's desk, "Miss Song, President Mu asked you to come in and talk."
"Thanks."
Song Ci took a deep breath and walked into the office with her head held high. Long Yu followed her and entered the office together under the secretary's puzzled gaze.
Hearing the tapping sound of high heels hitting the floor, Mu Mian turned his chair to look at Song Ci. When he saw the short, plain-looking, and thin man behind Song Ci, Mu Mian's brows suddenly frowned, and his expression became even more unhappy. "I asked you to come, why did you bring an outsider here?"
Song Ci said, "Because I almost lost my life in the last car accident, Han Zhan was worried that my driving would be a traumatic experience, so he assigned me a driver. He is my driver and my bodyguard, so naturally he has to accompany me."
Mu Mian couldn't help but sneer, "He's really nice to you."
Song Ci smiled lightly and said without blinking, "If it's not good, I won't marry."
The violence between Mu Mian's brows became even more intense, "Are you really married to him?" Mu Mian stared at the gold ring on Song Ci's left hand, feeling it was an eyesore.
Song Ci's secret marriage to Han Zhan without telling him was indeed a big taboo for Mu Mian. Mu Mian was not afraid of Song Ci's mischief or her causing trouble, but he would not allow Song Ci to betray him.
Secretly taking the household registration book to get a marriage certificate with Han Zhan, this is betrayal!
Song Ci nodded, "We got the marriage certificate yesterday."
Mu Mian was so angry that he laughed. "That's great, Song Ci, you've grown up and now you know how to steal the household registration book to get married!"
A lot of things happened in the past month. Mu Mian had been suspicious a few days ago whether Song Ci knew something. This time, Song Ci's behavior of secretly marrying Han Zhan without saying hello made Mu Mian even more suspicious of her.
What did she know, and how much did she know?
Mu Mian didn't dare to alert the enemy. He spoke slowly, "Song Ci, I brought you back to the Mu family when you were fourteen. Your mother and I have always treated you well. We honestly believe we've never treated you harshly. Not only that, I even voluntarily covered your sister's medical expenses..."
"I can't understand why you want to hurt me like this. You want to marry Han Zhan, why didn't you tell me? Even if I don't agree, I won't force you to stop. This is no longer the era of parents' orders and matchmakers' words."
Mu Mian deliberately talked about all the things he had done for Song Ci over the years, just to see if Song Ci would get angry. If Song Ci knew what he had done, then after hearing what he said, she would definitely think he was being hypocritical and she would feel disgusted.
But after hearing his words, Song Ci showed a look of guilt on her face.
Mu Mian couldn't help but feel suspicious again.
Will she still feel guilty?
Song Ci said softly: "I'm sorry, father, I, I didn't dare to tell you, because I heard..." Song Ci's eyes flashed, as if he had some concerns.
Mu Mian: “Speak!”
Song Ci raised her head, looked at Mu Mian's face, and said hesitantly, "They said that in order to strengthen cooperation with the Chuandong Group, you planned to marry me to Cheng Ziang and let us get married."
Mu Mian asked her, "Who said that?"
Song Ci: "I heard some of it from hearsay, and I also figured it out myself."
Mu Mian fell silent, then lit a cigarette. He sat on the sofa, pinching his eyes as he smoked, and looked at Song Ci with a squinting eye. Song Ci was holding her handbag in both hands, her eyes full of grievance, as if she was hurt.
Mu Mian asked her, "Isn't Cheng Ziang good? That kid really cares about you. He's been pursuing you for several months and hasn't given up."
Song Ci sneered, "Father, don't you know whether he is good or not?"
