Chapter 133 I'll Pick You Up After get off work
The Song family's affair became the talk of the town.
Fang Songzhi was so angry that she fell ill again.
Song Yanting went back to the old house to see her.
Fang Songzhi was lying on the bed, pale-faced, and speaking weakly: "For a woman, are you really going to give up everything?"
"Yanting, you're not young anymore, cough cough cough... she's not worth it."
Song Yanting did not answer her question.
He knelt down in front of the bed, his eyes behind his glasses still gentle, his tone calm: "Mother, all these years I've been wondering why you and Song Bingwei have always disagreed with me being with Shuyi."
"No matter how much I compromise or bow my head, it's all useless."
"Later, I gradually realized that what you care about is not actually me, your son."
Whether I am happy or not is none of your concern.
He paused, then chuckled mockingly, "From beginning to end, all you cared about was the head of the Song family, the Song family's reputation, and its dignity."
"I am nothing more than a tool in your eyes, a tool to serve the famous Song family."
“Mother, there’s no question of whether it’s worth it or not. I just don’t want to be this tool anymore.”
Fang Songzhi knew he was determined to leave this time, and tears welled up in her bloodshot eyes. "So you're leaving the Song family, regardless of the fate of any of us?"
This statement was a threatening attempt to retain the person.
Over the years, she has found it to be effective time and again.
Song Yanting gently wiped away her tears, but his words were ruthless: "Mother, now Qi Yu is the chairman of Tonghe and the head of the Song family. The whole world knows that, so you must live well and keep an eye on him."
"Otherwise, what if he loses his mind one day and brings back another daughter-in-law you don't like, bringing shame to the Song family? Who will stop him then?"
Fang Songzhi smiled.
A bitter laugh echoed in the large room.
Only after Song Yanting left did she tremble and burst into tears.
There is no perfect solution in the world; this is the best Song Yanting could do.
He came out of Fang Songzhi's room and met Song Qiyu in the garden.
The two sat on the stone steps, quietly watching the purple hydrangeas in the garden, blooming in clusters, full and round.
Purple symbolizes auspiciousness and good fortune.
The hydrangea symbolizes reunion and happiness.
Song Yanting stared ahead, his voice a little hoarse: "Qiyu, I'm sorry to have dumped such a heavy burden on you."
“Oh, it’s nothing,” Song Qiyu said casually. “It’s just that I’m a little busy every day, but I can handle it. Besides, Can Can… likes that I’m career-minded.”
"He even told me to try to catch up with Fifth Brother."
Song Qiyu laughed as he said this.
For Tonghe to surpass Jingyao, at least in his generation, is impossible.
However, if he hadn't met Qin Muhuan, Song Qiyu wouldn't have taken on this responsibility so easily.
They wouldn't work that hard.
Everything is the will of Heaven.
Song Yanting looked at him and said, "Miss Qin has a good family background and good character. They shouldn't stop you."
"You can rest assured about that," Song Qiyu patted his shoulder, his tone even a little smug. "With Cancan's personality, she'll never suffer a loss anywhere. With me here, no one will bully her."
After saying that, he looked at Song Yanting seriously and said, "Brother, although I was not very reliable in the past, I know that you were often held back by the second branch of the family in order to help me repay the life-saving grace of Second Uncle, and you tolerated them doing dirty tricks behind my back."
"So, brother, you don't need to feel apologetic towards me."
"You've done so much for me over the years, I should do something for you too."
"We're brothers."
Song Yanting's eyes welled up with tears. At this moment, he suddenly felt very gratified and could finally leave with peace of mind.
Because he believed that Song Qiyu could do a good job.
Better than him.
He stood up, facing the sunlight, a warm smile on his face.
"Do a good job. If there's anything you can't handle, call me anytime."
Song Qiyu nodded and asked him, "Are you going to Yangzhou to find Sister Shuyi?"
Song Yanting did not deny it, and stepped into the scorching summer light and shadow.
Song Qiyu watched his retreating figure and called out to him loudly, "Brother."
"Though our paths are far apart, I wish you... that your wishes will come true."
The mountains are high and the roads are long, but the future is long.
The future holds great promise.
——
After several months, Qin Muhuan's office building has been completed, located in the south of Beijing.
The location is pretty good; it's surrounded by shopping malls with high foot traffic.
She then made a special trip to show off to Shen Jingni.
At this moment, Shen Jingni had just signed a big deal and was in a good mood, so she ordered afternoon tea for her employees.
As soon as Qin Muhuan came in, she didn't stand on ceremony and immediately grabbed a box of fruit and started eating.
While eating, he couldn't help but complain: "This watermelon isn't sweet at all, and you still have the nerve to buy it for your employees? You're so stingy."
Although that's what she said, she never stopped talking.
Shen Jingni snorted and took away all the fruit in front of her. "Then don't eat it."
"If you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it. Who cares? You're such a cheapskate."
Qin Muhuan threw the fork on the table, took out a small mirror from her bag, and said while applying lipstick, "I came here to tell you that my building is finished and I'll be moving in next Monday. Don't forget to send me a flower basket then."
His tone revealed an undisguised boastfulness and pride.
Shen Jingni deliberately teased her: "A flower basket costs several hundred yuan, I wouldn't be willing to send it to you."
"How could you be so stingy... I might as well kill you!" Qin Muhuan stomped her foot angrily. "Even if you don't give me a gift, you still have to come to cut the ribbon for me!"
"On what grounds?"
Qin Muhuan said confidently, "That building was built by me day and night, with all my hard work. It's a huge milestone in my career."
Shen Jingni took a sip of coffee. "Oh my, you're quite the braggart."
As she spoke, she took out her phone, opened the WeChat Moments post that Qin's father had shared a couple of days ago, and handed it to Qin Muhuan.
"But Uncle Qin said this building is a Children's Day gift he gave you."
"Working so hard? You went to help carry bricks?"
Qin Muhuan: "..."
Why does Lao Qin send everything out like this?
"Don't worry about that. Your building isn't finished yet anyway. Go take a look at mine and learn from it."
Shen Jingni couldn't stand her bossy attitude and refused decisively, "I'm not going."
She also boasted a little, "My building will be finished soon, I'm busy, I don't have time."
Qin Muhuan glared at her: "You're just bragging."
"If you don't want to come, then don't come. I don't even need to invite you."
Thus ended the pointless argument between the two.
Miss Qin returned defeated.
Shen Jingni was in a good mood at first, but Qin Muhuan's commotion made her anxious again.
Although she didn't want to compete with Qin Muhuan, she also didn't want to lose.
She rested her cheek on her hand, pondered for a moment, and then immediately opened WeChat to send a message to Zhao Zonglan.
Brother, are you done with your work?
If you're done with work, I'll come pick you up.
It included a picture of a very cute little child riding a toy car.
That's quite a show of attentiveness.
Zhao Zonglan was in a meeting at the time.
The group's CEO reported on the specific progress of each project in the first half of the year.
He leaned back lazily in his chair and replied, "Do you need something from me?"
Shen Jingni replied almost instantly: "[Why is Chairman Zhao saying such formal things again? I just wanted to pick you up from get off work. I'm so sad.]"
Zhao Zonglan [Please, General Shen, come immediately]
