Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Do you like Yu Wan?
The fireworks display on this summer night was so beautiful that not only Yu Wan and Fu Zhiyao stopped to admire it. In another place on Jiangti, Song Chuchu and Lu Juefeng stood together.
It was a pity that they arrived too late. As soon as they got off the bus, the fireworks became very few and they only had time to appreciate the bright light of the last firework.
Song Chuchu felt regretful. When she looked away, her attention was drawn to two figures in the crowd.
Among the crowd strolling leisurely along the riverbank, Yu Wan and Fu Zhiyao stood out.
Yu Wan was wearing a simple short-sleeved top with a small V-neck, revealing her slender, snow-white wrists and collarbones. Her long hair was lifted by the evening breeze, and her profile was soft and pretty. Fu Zhiyao was wearing a smoky gray soft shirt and trousers. He had broad shoulders and long legs, and a tall, unrestrained and upright figure. The swaying shadows of the trees under the street lights undulated like waves at their feet.
The scene of the two of them side by side was so beautiful that Song Chuchu thought she was hallucinating.
After walking a few steps, the smile on Yu Wan's face suddenly widened, as bright as spring flowers, as if something had happened that even surprised her. Fu Zhiyao's pace quickened for no reason, and he stepped with his long legs, revealing a rare panic.
Soon, the two got into a car parked on the side of the road and disappeared from sight.
Song Chuchu couldn't take her eyes off him for a long time, and she felt an indescribable loneliness in her heart.
After graduation, she did not choose to join her own company, but instead submitted her resume to Fu Group, hoping to test her own abilities and potential.
As expected, she passed the interview successfully and was hired as an intern in the administrative department.
During her internship, she was not particularly active in her work, but at least she never made any mistakes, so she was certain that she would be among the candidates for regular employment.
But before she was promoted to a regular employee, she was inexplicably transferred to the Logistics Department. She asked Manager Ji, who said it was the Human Resources Department's arrangement. She then went to the Human Resources Department to find Director He, who dismissed her with the excuse that she was more suitable for the Logistics Department because she was more meticulous in her work.
Everyone knows that the most difficult department to get promoted in the company is the logistics department. The work content is trivial and does not get the attention of the leaders. Song Chuchu was angry and had no choice but to resign on her own initiative.
During the time she was away from work, Song Chuchu had been unemployed at home. After receiving the photo of Juefeng and Yu Wan, she commissioned someone to investigate and found out the relationship between Yu Wan and Juefeng.
Yu Wan and Jue Feng grew up in the same orphanage.
When he was seven years old, Brother Juefeng was adopted by the Lu family and changed his name from Lu Sui to Lu Juefeng. He and Yu Wan had not seen each other for eighteen years and had no contact until March this year when they met in an orphanage.
This is what Song Chuchu can’t understand.
If the two had a deep relationship, why didn't they see each other or contact each other for eighteen years? If their relationship was shallow, why did they make an appointment to have dinner and chat together? Yu Wan also accepted the gift given to her by Brother Juefeng.
When Lu Jufeng was adopted by the Lu family, Song Chuchu was only five years old.
The first time I saw Lu Juefeng at the Lu family, he was wearing a white shirt and black overalls, his lips were tightly pursed, his skin was fair, and his face had a serious and solemn expression. Unlike Lu Yusen, who had a bandit-like face and a domineering personality, he always sat quietly on the sofa, like a jade-faced Buddha.
That day, Song Chuchu stared at Lu Jufeng the whole time, and Mrs. Lu teased her by asking her if she liked Lu Jufeng and whether she wanted to marry him into her family as a daughter-in-law. Song Chuchu was young at that time and did not understand what Mrs. Lu meant, but she knew she was talking about her, and she blushed and hid in her mother's arms.
The year she graduated from university, Brother Juefeng had been working at Lu's for nearly four years. Song's father's business had some problems with its capital chain, and it was Lu Juefeng who injected capital into the Song family despite the pressure, turning the tide and deepening the business dealings between the two families.
Mrs. Lu suggested several times, intentionally or unintentionally, that the two of them try to get along, but Lu Juefeng always brushed it off lightly.
Song Chuchu originally had doubts about whether Brother Juefeng liked her, but there had never been any opposite sex or close friends around Brother Juefeng, which always made her feel that she was special and had hope. But now that Yu Wan appeared, Song Chuchu couldn't help but start to waver.
Will Brother Juefeng really be with her as she wishes?
Song Chuchu looked towards Lu Juefeng, and just happened to meet his slowly withdrawing gaze, which was the direction where Yu Wan and Fu Zhiyao left.
Song Chuchu tugged at the corner of Lu Juefeng's clothes and asked bluntly, "Brother Juefeng, do you know her? Her name is Yu Wan."
Lu Juefeng did not answer.
Song Chuchu bit her lip and spoke to herself, "Didn't I originally intern at Fu's? Yu Wan and I were interns at the same time. She grew up in an orphanage and seemed to have been abandoned by her parents. She has a somewhat dull personality and doesn't like to talk much. She had some unpleasantness with one of our interns before, and eventually forced that intern to leave the company. Everyone said that she was too tough in her way of doing things..."
Song Chuchu kept an eye on Lu Juefeng as she spoke, but the man's expression didn't change at all. His face remained as cold and gentle as ever. After Song Chuchu finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and glanced at his watch. "Chuchu, it's getting late. I'll take you home."
The fact that it was just glossed over only made Song Chuchu more suspicious.
Song Chuchu lowered her eyes, feeling heavy-hearted. She struggled to squeeze out a sentence from her throat: "Brother Juefeng, you know Yu Wan, right? Do you like Yu Wan?"
Lu Juefeng didn't answer directly, "Let's go. If you come home any later, your mother will be worried."
After returning home, Song Chuchu didn't say goodbye or good night to Lu Jufeng for the first time. She unbuckled her seat belt and ran towards her villa at a very fast pace, ignoring her mother's voice calling her.
After closing the door, Song Chuchu became more and more unhappy. She was not a child who could be fooled easily. Not giving a direct answer was also an answer.
She just couldn't understand why it was Yu Wan again?
When she was first interested in Fu Zhiyao, Fu Zhiyao chose Yu Wan as his secretary. She resigned from Fu's company and listened to her mother's advice to get along well with Brother Juefeng. However, Brother Juefeng rejected her invitation to a date and turned to have dinner with Yu Wan.
Song Chuchu herself didn't notice the resentment brewing in her eyes until there was a knock on the door that woke her up from her emotions.
Song Chuchu knew it must be her mother Yu Heya, so she got up and went to the bathroom pretending to remove her makeup.
Outside the door, Yu Heya said, "Chu Chu, can I come in?"
"Come in, Mom."
Yu Heya opened the door and saw Song Chuchu taking off her false eyelashes in front of the mirror. She smiled and said, "I called you just now to ask if you wanted to drink some blood swallows before going to bed. Why are you running so fast? Aren't you afraid of falling?"
"I'm so tired." Facing He Ya, Song Chuchu always acts like a spoiled child unconsciously, "I want to take off my makeup and go to bed quickly."
In her family, the role of father is basically a decoration. Father Song is nearly twelve years older than Yu Heya. He had a wife before her. When they got married, Song Chuchu was already born. Yu Heya was only 22 years old at that time. It was a typical combination of an old husband and a young wife.
As far as Song Chuchu could remember, her father was rarely at home, and he showed even less concern for her and her mother. Even when he came home every month, he would only greet her as a routine matter. Apart from work needs, he would take her mother to banquets to create the image of a loving couple, and he had almost no communication with her and her mother.
Yu Heya never asked about Song's father's life outside the home. Yu Heya even told her frankly that as long as Song's father did not have an illegitimate child outside, the family would always leave her a sum of property to ensure her a worry-free life in the future.
This also made Song Chuchu feel a little more sympathetic towards her mother's marriage in addition to her dependence on He Ya.
If she were to get married, Song Chuchu only wanted to marry someone she liked and who also liked her. If it wasn't a mutual love, what would it mean to her?
She might as well be single forever.
After Song Chuchu finished removing her makeup, Yu Heya had not left yet. She was helping Song Chuchu tidy up the scattered things in the room, taking out her cell phone and other items from her bag, wiping the bag clean and putting it back in the cloakroom.
Song Chuchu changed into pajamas and sat on the sofa watching Yu Heya clean her room.
Yu Heya brought over the stewed red dates and bird's nest. Seeing Song Chuchu sipping it, she raised her hand to tidy up her hair beside her ear. Her eyes, marked by the traces of time, looked at her gently, "What's wrong? Didn't your date with your brother Juefeng go well?"
Song Chuchu drank the soup slowly and shook her head: "No."
Her date with Lu Juefeng today went quite smoothly. It could be said that Lu Juefeng's entire afternoon time was controlled by her. They ate Western food together, went shopping together, and took walks together. Finally, Brother Juefeng sent her home.
Song Chuchu was very satisfied with her date today, but her satisfaction stopped at meeting Yu Wan and Fu Zhiyao. She didn't know whether to tell Yu Heya about this.
If she told her mother, Yu Heya would definitely deal with her as decisively as she did with her friends who plotted against her, and would vent her anger. But the end result was that few people were willing to be friends with her, and they would secretly say that her mother was a lunatic.
How could her mother be crazy when she loved her so much?
But the situation this time is a bit complicated. After all, Yu Wan and Brother Juefeng have no real relationship. If Brother Juefeng knew that her mother was involved, would he be angry? Would he scold her for not knowing the sense of propriety and then distance himself from her?
Thinking of this, Song Chuchu decided not to tell Yu Heya for the time being.
Song Chuchu adjusted her expression, smiled, and playfully changed the subject: "Mom, do you want to know where we went on our date today?"
Yu Heya has raised Song Chuchu for twenty-three years. How could she not understand the meaning of every change in her daughter's expression? Chuchu is hiding something, but it shouldn't be a big problem.
She considerately changed the subject: "Well, why should an old woman like me care about a young man's date?"
Song Chuchu interrupted her and pretended to be angry and retorted: "Who said mom is an old woman? I'm the first to object. Mom is obviously the most beautiful woman in the world!"
Yu Heya's smile deepened. "Okay, Chuchu, Mom came to you to ask if you still want to work. I found a pretty good job for you."
Song Chuchu was curious: "What errand?"
Yu Heya said, "One of the companies under your father's group recently started a cooperative project with the Lu family. The person in charge is Lu Juefeng. It just so happens that you resigned from Fu's and have plenty of free time. Mom said, why bother to go to other companies to prove yourself? Your own company is good enough. Now that you have tried it and proved your ability, it's time to start with the project and prepare to take over your father's company."
Yu Heya knew Song Chuchu. Her daughter had lived a wealthy and prosperous life since childhood and had never encountered any setbacks or troubles. Even if there were, she would secretly protect Chuchu.
But Yu Heya couldn't help Song Chuchu with company management. She planned to let Song Chuchu start with small projects in her own company, gain experience for a year or two, and then go abroad to study business administration courses, and naturally take over Song's father's position. It didn't matter whether she could do projects or not, as long as she could manage her employees well and let them work for her.
Song Chuchu pursed her lips, a little hesitant.
Take over Song’s father’s company and become the female president?
Song Chuchu seemed to have never considered this path. When she thought of Mr. Fu's decisive fiancée Yu Jintong, her mind suddenly became clear.
Yes, why should she worry about the relationship between Fu Zhiyao and Yu Wan? Fu Zhiyao has a fiancée, and she shouldn't focus on Yu Wan and Fu Zhiyao.
Song Chuchu has a full understanding of her own abilities. She is not ruthless enough, not shrewd enough, and does not have decision-making and leadership skills. She may be able to do some projects, but if she were to inherit her father's company now, the company would go bankrupt within a year.
But if she marries Lu Juefeng, with Lu Juefeng's support, everything will be solved.
No one would want to be inferior to others all their life. In the Lu family, Lu's father has his own son Lu Yusen, and Lu Juefeng is an outsider after all. By marrying her and becoming a son-in-law of the Song family, Lu Juefeng will have his own decision-making power and will no longer be constrained.
Comparing the two, Lu Juefeng would definitely choose the latter.
She just needed to give a signal and wait quietly for Lu Juefeng's choice.
Yu Wan, who was born in an orphanage and had no power or influence, was just a small secretary after all. Being chosen by Fu Zhiyao was her greatest luck.
She doesn't have to, and shouldn't, take it seriously.
Song Chuchu finally untied the knot in her heart. She looked at Yu Heya, smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you, Mom."
