Chapter 17 After the rain, my wife is soft-hearted, but I am not a good person...
Song Yeran returned to the store alone. Liang Yanling didn't see Chen Cheng, so she caught up with him and asked, "Where's Chen Cheng?"
"Chen Cheng..." Song Yeran ran for several hundred meters, calmed down, and then remembered that he had left Chen Cheng behind.
Liang Yanling grabbed Song Yeran by the collar and asked, "Where did you leave her?"
She had a bad feeling in her heart, and before she left, Song Jili gave her a long list of instructions.
Some people said that Chen Cheng seldom went out and had a poor ability to find the way, so she had to follow closely.
"I don't know. We weren't having a very pleasant chat and she turned around and left. I thought she came back." Song Yeran didn't take it to heart. It was impossible for such a grown-up person to get lost in the mall, so he made up an excuse to excuse himself.
Su Jinjin protected Song Yeran and accused him, "He already said he didn't know, why did you still pull his collar?"
"Who are you? Do you have the right to interrupt me when I'm talking?" Liang Yanling was very angry and yelled at Su Jinjin to leave.
She warned Song Yeran: "The truth had better be the same as you said. If Chen Cheng gets into an accident, don't blame Song Jili for being rude to you."
Liang Yanling pushed Song Yeran away, called Chen Cheng, and hurried out to look for someone.
After the people walked away, Su Jinjin dared to step forward and complained: "Even if you are an elder, you can't be violent... Besides, how could Chen Cheng, who is so old, get lost?"
Song Yeran didn't say anything, so Su Jinjin pushed him and said, "Aran, why don't you say anything? Didn't you say that your uncle and second uncle don't have a good relationship? Why is your aunt still speaking for Chen Cheng? I feel like your aunt is angry with you because she doesn't like you and me being together."
The more he spoke, the more aggrieved he felt, with tears in his eyes.
"No, my aunt was raised as a spoiled child at home, and she's always been free to do whatever she wants. She probably thinks Chen Cheng is a member of the disadvantaged group, so she speaks for her." Song Yeran coaxed, "You're so nice, it's impossible for her not to like you, it's just that my aunt doesn't know enough about you."
Song Yeran tried to comfort his girlfriend, but he was thinking about other things.
I was feeling anxious. What if Chen Cheng, who couldn't talk, really got lost? What would I do then?
There were cameras everywhere in the mall, so his words didn't hold water.
"Let's go, let's go back first." Song Yeran pulled Su Jinjin out of the mall.
Liang Yanling didn't know that Chen Cheng had gone downstairs. She searched the third floor twice and then ran to the fourth floor. Her phone was always on the go.
Not daring to delay any longer, Liang Yanling called Song Jili, but no one answered. He was probably busy and had no time to check his phone, so she could only contact Song Qiaoli.
Song Qiaoli had just finished a video conference and asked her, "What's wrong?"
"Brother Qiaoli, can you contact my second uncle?" Liang Yanling was so anxious that she walked back and forth. "You can also call his assistant."
Song Qiaoli asked with concern, "What happened?"
Liang Yanling: "Brother Qiaoli, it's over. I think I lost Chen Cheng. She doesn't know the way and the mall is so big."
"you?"
"It's Song Yeran. I was careless and shouldn't have left them alone." Liang Yanling cried.
"Don't worry. I'll contact you when I get the news." Song Qiaoli instructed his assistant to call Song Jili's company internal line.
Liang Yanling can only place her hopes on her plastic husband.
When Song Jili received the news, he was discussing new product launch plans with several department managers.
When he heard that Chen Cheng got lost in the mall and asked Qian Zhou to take his place temporarily, he headed straight for the underground parking lot.
While waiting for the red light, Song Jili saw the missed call from Chen Cheng and felt regretful.
I usually bring my cell phone to meetings, but this was the only time I didn't bring it with me. I didn't expect an unexpected situation to happen.
After entering the expressway, the car speed increased a little.
-
Chen Cheng was much calmer than last time. Since she couldn't contact anyone for the time being, she found a map of the mall nearby and studied it carefully. She went back to the original place after getting lost a few times. She also became more familiar with the internal structure of the mall. With unremitting efforts, she returned to the original store.
Not seeing Liang Yanling and Song Yeran inside, he stood at the door in a daze.
Song Jili left her a message on WeChat on her mobile phone.
Mr. Song: [Where are you? ]
Mr. Song: [Don’t leave the mall, find a place to wait, I’ll come find you.]
It was obvious that he was very anxious. After reading it, Chen Cheng wondered if he should call him again and try again.
She pressed the voice button but before she could confirm, Song Jili appeared at the escalator opposite her, looking surprised and walking towards her hurriedly.
Thinking of the rainy night in the Tibetan capital, he was soaked and spent the whole night looking for her.
Emotions flooded in that night. Chen Cheng was afraid that he would misunderstand her as wandering around again, and forgot that he could not understand sign language. She hurriedly explained: I did not wander around, I did what you taught me, and I called you right away.
Song Jili walked up to Chen Cheng, breathing slightly, his eyes fixed on her.
Chen Cheng realized that he couldn't understand, so he hurriedly opened the memo and typed out the words he had just gestured to him.
Song Jili wrapped her hand around hers, held it tightly, and whispered, "I know you did a good job."
He took her into his arms.
Chen Cheng leaned on his chest, lowered his hands, and let him hold him.
Why does it feel like he's in a slightly heavy mood?
Song Jili took Chen Cheng with him and contacted Assistant Jiang to drive the car to the front door.
Chen Cheng trotted to keep up with Song Jili's pace. He always felt something was strange, but he did not dare to raise any doubts and just followed him quietly.
Go down to the first floor and get in the car.
Song Jili fastened Chen Cheng's seat belt and asked Assistant Jiang: "Where is he now?"
Assistant Jiang: "Song Yeran has returned to the old house, and Mr. Song is here too."
"Are you so scared? I even called them here?" Song Jili sneered, his eyes sullen.
Chen Cheng didn't understand what they were talking about.
Are we on the way to the old house now?
Half an hour later, the car stopped at the Song family's old house.
Chen Cheng glanced at the solemn gate and felt that things would not be peaceful inside today.
Chen Cheng tugged at Song Jili's sleeve and asked, "Why did we come back?"
Song Jili smiled and said, "Of course I'm helping you settle the bill."
Chen Cheng opened his mouth slightly.
Settlement of accounts?
She then asked, "Is it because of what happened in the mall?"
Chen Cheng quickly typed out what he was going to say and showed it to Song Jili: "It's not a big deal, and I was also fierce to him at that time."
Song Jili raised his eyebrows, slid his fingers through the memo, and read: "How can you come up with so many twisted ideas just because of a skirt?"
“Is this also considered a murderer?”
"Little Orange, you are too soft-hearted."
He gave a narrow smile: "Your glare at me is more ferocious than this."
Chen Cheng took back his phone, held it against his chest, and was furious.
I cursed in my mind, why is this person still flipping through the records?
Chen Cheng said, "This is an old house. It would be bad for the environment if there is too much noise."
Song Jili asked with a smile: "Are you concerned about me?"
Chen Cheng shook his head.
"My wife is soft-hearted, but I'm not a good person." Song Jili is going to settle this account today, and no one can stop him.
Chen Cheng got out of the car and went into the yard with Song Jili.
The Song family's old house is designed in an antique style with white walls and black tiles. The courtyards and gardens cover thousands of acres, with numerous courtyards and gorgeous carvings. Even the shelves used to place antique vases are made of the finest pear wood, which is low-key yet luxurious.
The only bad thing is the crippled foot.
I have passed three round arch gates, but have not yet reached the center of the house.
"Xiaocheng, are you okay?" Liang Yanling ran over from the side yard next door and pulled Chen Cheng in front of her.
Chen Cheng was startled and shook his head repeatedly to indicate that he was fine and asked her not to worry.
"My brother is back too?" Song Jili asked.
Liang Yanling still felt guilty for accidentally losing Chen Cheng, and became timid in front of Song Jili: "Well... I'm afraid Song Yeran will argue with me. When I get angry, I will only curse and not explain. I can only ask Brother Qiaoli to come back."
"You are quite adaptable. You called my brother Song when you were getting a divorce, and if you needed his help, you should call him Brother Qiaoli." Song Jili did not forget to tease.
Liang Yanling pushed Song Jili forward: "Stop making fun of me, go and see what's going on."
Chen Cheng and Liang Yanling were waiting in the yard outside.
The atmosphere was depressing, Chen Cheng asked: "Did something happen?"
It feels like this isn't just a matter between her and Song Yeran.
After reading it, Liang Yanling sighed and said, "That should be it. Judging from the look on Qiao Li's face, I guess something must have happened."
Chen Cheng: "Are the relationships within the Song family very tense?"
"It's hypocritical not to show it even if you're nervous."
Liang Yanling looked around to see if there was anyone around, and whispered to Chen Cheng, "You don't know that Song Yeran and Song Yeliang's father is your father-in-law's adopted son, right?"
Chen Cheng's eyes widened, he shook his head, and typed, "Aren't they cousins?"
"Their father, Song Yuanqing, is actually my father-in-law's younger sister, and my aunt's child. After my aunt died unexpectedly, my father-in-law, who had never been married, adopted him. Because he had been busy managing the family business, he had no intention of getting married and also intended Song Yuanqing to be his future successor. Unexpectedly, when I was 40 years old, I met my mother-in-law, got married, and had my brother Qiao Li. From then on, when it came to matters related to inheriting the business, the atmosphere in the family became very subtle." Liang Yanling made no secret of her impatience with the large family with so many people and so much to do.
Chen Cheng: "What does my father-in-law think?"
Liang Yanling: "My palms and backs are all made of flesh. My father-in-law's thoughts have always been vague. If they were clearer, I would..."
She lowered her voice and said, "My marriage won't be that difficult to divorce."
Chen Cheng thought that she and Song Qiaoli were getting along pretty well, so why would she want a divorce?
Before he could ask, Song Jili and Song Qiaoli started arguing in the yard.
Chen Cheng stood up worriedly. Liang Yanling seemed to be used to it and said helplessly, "I knew they would quarrel."
Is it possible that the relationship between the two brothers has become precarious in order to fight for the inheritance rights?
Song Qiaoli walked out of the yard, and Song Jili chased after him: "Stop, tell me your position on Song Yeran's matter."
"Do you still think Song Yeran's affairs are important?" Song Qiaoli was angry.
Song Jili: "Isn't it right for me to teach him a lesson for being disrespectful to his elders?"
Song Yuanqing trotted out and stood between the two brothers, and said in a gentle voice: "Don't quarrel over trivial matters. It is indeed Ah Ran who did something wrong. I also want to make my point. I don't agree with his marriage to Su Jinjin."
"That's it?" Song Jili sneered, "If you don't know how to teach your son, I will do it myself."
"Okay, Dad is still listening, stop talking nonsense." Song Qiaoli said, "Ah Ran, put your internship at the company on hold for a while. Focus on completing your studies first, and then temper your temper."
Song Yuanqing finally got his son an internship opportunity at the company, and he didn't want to miss it, saying, "Shouldn't he go to the company if he wants to..."
"Go, but you'd better not let me meet you at the company." Song Jili said arrogantly, "If you mess with my wife, you'd better think twice."
Song Qiaoli said helplessly: "Cousin, it's settled. We have a new project to launch soon and can't have any accidents."
Using the company as an excuse to start over, Song Yuanqing no longer dared to ask for a chance for his son to join the company, and could only swallow the loss.
Chen Cheng on the side felt very strange.
It looks like two brothers are arguing fiercely, but in fact, their goals seem to be the same...
strangeness.
Song Qiaoli left first, but Song Jili followed him relentlessly, saying in a cold voice: "Song Qiaoli, stop right there, we haven't settled the accounts yet. I'll negotiate a big project for you, and you can just cut the budget for the tea house next year in half. You think you're so great as a CEO, but you're stabbing your brother."
"Compared with other industries in the company, what we give you is already a lot." Song Qiaoli said expressionlessly.
Song Jili grabbed Song Qiaoli by the collar: "What do you mean?"
Chen Cheng was not as calm as Liang Yanling. He was really afraid that they would start fighting, so he stepped forward and pulled Song Jili's sleeve, signaling him with his eyes not to be impulsive.
"If you dare to cut it, I will ruin the project." Song Jili said harshly, took Chen Cheng and left home without looking back.
Back in the car, Song Jili told Assistant Jiang to go back to Riverview No. 1 Mansion.
The sun had set and the carriage was dark.
Chen Cheng observed Song Jili carefully.
He was no longer as carefree as before, his breath was unsteady, and I had never seen him so angry.
She tried to say something to make him feel better.
He gestured a few times with his fingers, then stopped and fumbled for the cell phone in his pocket.
Song Jili opened his eyes and stared at her quietly. He was moved by her clumsy attempt to comfort him.
He took her hand, and, pressing it tightly, he said:
"Don't look for it, I can understand it."
Chen Cheng froze and blinked more slowly.
Can understand...what does it mean?
