Chapter 22 It’s better not to have any bad thoughts

"There's no such thing as 'returning' in America," Shuang Xu said, "I don't like that. I've already quit my overseas job, and I won't leave this time when I come back."

"Who asked you to resign? Shen Yu or Fu Yun? Have you discussed this matter with me and your father?"

Amid her dissatisfaction, Shuang Xu said calmly, "I made the decision myself."

"How dare you make such a decision without their permission?"

Cui Ning seemed to believe that someone in the Shen family was supporting her. She hated Shuang Xu's closeness to the Shen family the most. This matter had caused her to be stabbed in the back many times in front of and behind others, as if she was intolerant and had thrown her child to someone else to raise.

"Don't think I don't know. Shen Yu wants to arrange for you to work at the research institute. Old Xu and your father are old classmates. He bypassed your father and asked Old Xu to arrange a job for you. Did he take us seriously?"

Shuang Xu said, "If you feel unhappy that he arranged a job for me without you, you can also ask Dean Xu to arrange it for me in person."

Of course, Cui Ning did not mean this.

Shuang Xu knew it, so he pulled the corner of his mouth mockingly.

"Don't worry, I turned down the job at the research institute. But you don't have to be happy, because I'm planning to start a company with someone else."

"You don't have to anger my brother and mother. I can go back to my country if I want to, and I can stay if I want to. I am an adult and I am free to move around."

Cui Ning's face turned colder: "Song Shuangxu, although I am not your biological mother, I am your legal mother. No matter how good the Shen family is to you, I want to send you away. No one in their family can help you."

Shuang Xu certainly knew that this was how she was sent abroad five years ago.

"I'm not going anywhere." She said calmly, "I'm no longer the powerless underage girl I was five years ago. If you want to put me on a plane, tie me up first."

Cui Ning frowned deeply. She really didn't expect that being abroad for a few years would make her so rebellious.

She stared at Shuang Xu with displeasure for a while, then regained her dignity and elegance, and said in a high and cold voice: "You have really grown wings. Well, if you want to come back, then come back, lest someone say that I can't tolerate you. As long as you don't cause me trouble, I don't care where you are."

"clear."

Shuang Xu got out of the car and prepared to leave. Cui Ning said from inside the car, "The Shen family and the Lu family have already arranged their marriage. You should be quiet during this period of time and don't have any bad thoughts."

What evil thoughts could she have?

Shuang Xu didn't answer. It was unknown whether he heard it or not. He closed the car door and turned around to walk back.

It's already nine o'clock, and the bustling East Third Ring Road is ablaze with lights, but No. 9 Songming Road is a quiet spot amid the hustle and bustle of the city.

This large flat is in a great location and was a gift from Shen Yu to her for her eighteenth birthday.

Shuang Xu has always known that in addition to Song Mianzhi and Cui Ning, it was also Shen Changyuan and Fu Yun who forced her to go abroad.

So she has been unwilling to return to her country because she has no home to return to.

She spent her eighteenth birthday in California that year. Shen Yu flew over to see her and transferred the house to her name so that she would have a place to return to.

She understood it all in her heart.

*

On the weekend, Shu Yang booked a private room at the hotel for a company dinner. One was to officially welcome Shuang Xu as Feixue's CEO, and the other was to reward the old employees who had stuck with her through thick and thin.

Shuang Xu went to pick up the custom-made cake and arrived at the hotel a step later than others.

When they arrived at the hotel, Xiao Liao was sending her a WeChat message to urge her: "Are you there yet? Are you there yet? This Aolong has been seducing me for ten minutes!"

Shuang Xu smiled and replied, "You eat first."

After saying this, I noticed an unfriendly gaze, looked up, and saw the man in front of the elevator turned around.

It’s Chen Peiran again.

We met again on a narrow road. Mr. Chen, who was so complacent and arrogant when we met last time, now looked much more sloppy and shabby. His hair looked like he hadn't taken care of for three days, his beard was untidy, and he had tired bags under his eyes.

"Song Shuangxu, I really underestimated you." Chen Peiran stared at her with a fierce look, "How did you get He Tingzhou to nod? Did you rely on your father?"

Shuang Xu said, "Why do you care about me?"

Chen Peiran spent a lot of money and time to please the director of Yundun who was in charge of the drone sector. When the cooperation was about to be successful, the bald man suddenly stopped answering his calls.

This was the project he surrendered to Chen Xing for. If he couldn't get it, he wouldn't be able to gain a foothold in Chen Xing. He was so anxious and angry during this period that blisters appeared on the corners of his mouth. When the people from Chen Xing told him in a weird tone to stop working on it, he realized that Yundun had already signed a contract with Feixue.

The court summons was just delivered to him yesterday, and Feixue hired a well-known lawyer in the industry to prepare for a lawsuit with him.

He lost his wife and his army. Today, he heard that the bald man was having dinner here, so he came here to block him. He didn't expect to meet Shuang Xu on a narrow road.

"Who knows what to rely on!" Chen Peiran was furious and directed all his anger at Shuang Xu. "I heard that the Song family doesn't recognize you as their daughter at all and gave you to someone else to raise. Will your father help you?"

"Shu Yang tried so hard but couldn't get this contract done, and you've already won He Tingzhou over just a few days after you came back. I think you've climbed into his bed!"

The passers-by looked at him strangely, but Shuang Xu remained indifferent: "Does it have anything to do with you?"

Chen Peiran's hatred and sarcastic expression were revealed: "Being pretty is useful. Just spread your legs and all problems will be solved."

This was too unpleasant to hear. Shuang Xu frowned slightly and said coldly: "Watch your mouth. If you spread rumors again, I will sue you for defamation."

"Do you think I'm afraid of you? What kind of rumors did I make up? If you hadn't slept with him, why did He Tingzhou suddenly change his mind? He didn't choose a large enterprise like Chenxing, but cooperated with a small company that was about to go bankrupt. He didn't want the free stuff and insisted on buying it at a high price. Is he crazy, stupid, or has a problem with his brain?"

Chen Peiran spoke louder and louder, and as he cursed loudly, there was a ding—a sound.

The door of the elevator opposite opened to the sides, and He Tingzhou appeared in front of him without any warning.

In a dull and casual voice, she asked him, "Are you surprised?"

Chen Peiran was like a chicken without its neck strangled, and suddenly fell silent.

Frost Sequence unexpectedly turned around following his horrified gaze.

There were several men in suits standing in the elevator, each looking weirder than the last.

The man in the middle has his hands in his pockets, with the hem of his suit pulled back, revealing his neat white shirt and the tight waistline of his trousers tucked into him. He looks very suave.

"Mr. He..." Chen Peiran's face quickly turned pale, and he stammered to save himself, "I... I'm not... Please listen to my explanation..."

He Tingzhou: "Straighten your tongue when you speak, it's hard to listen."

"Mr. He, it's such a coincidence that you would come here to dine in person?" Chen Peiran's expression turned into a humble one, the switch was so abrupt that it was particularly funny.

He Tingzhou said coldly: "I won't eat it myself, will you eat it for me?"

Chen Peiran blushed: "Boss He, you Yundun clearly agreed to cooperate with Chenxing, and a verbal agreement is also an agreement. But you turned around and signed a contract with Song Shuangxu. Aren't you kidding me?"

"Playing tricks on you? What tricks do you have?"

The He family's crown prince, who grew up riding on overwhelming power, made no effort to conceal his arrogance and arrogance: "Even if I play tricks on you, what can I do? Who do you think you are?"

Chen Peiran was a well-known young talent after all, and his face almost turned pale after being humiliated in public: "Is it a big deal to be named He?!"

He Tingzhou sneered: "That's great, but why, you also want to be called He? Call me dad, I will acknowledge you as my adopted son, and your grandfather is waiting to have a grandson at home."

"puff……"

A young man at the back couldn't help laughing. Chen Peiran glared at him in anger, but he quickly controlled his expression and said, "I'm sorry."

The image of Chen Peiran holding a pacifier and being coaxed by Commander He popped up in Shuang Xu's mind at an inopportune time...

She pursed her lips and kept a calm expression.
