Chapter 93 I don’t have the bad habit of being a mistress
Meng Anran never dreamed that Song Wanqiu would come.
He chose to fly all the way from Beijing to Hai City to see her during the weekend holiday, and all they talked about was his engagement with Qin Mu.
After sending a message to Tao Ya to ask for leave, Meng Anran followed Song Wanqiu to a cafe outside the corporate park where they were visiting and studying.
"What would you like to drink?" Song Wanqiu handed the menu to Meng Anran without any hostility.
Meng Anran didn't seem panicked either.
Not long after the two of them placed their orders, the waiter brought the coffee.
Meng Anran took a sip of cappuccino, and a circle of milk foam formed around her lips, which she gently wiped off with a tissue.
She raised her eyes to look at Song Wanqiu who was sitting opposite her. "I don't have much time. If you have something to say, just tell me."
Song Wanqiu sat elegantly, her long, dark hair cascading over her shoulders. She looked gentle and even spoke softly, "Ms. Anran, I'm not here to assert my sovereignty. The marriage between the Qin and Song families is not what I want. Of course, I have to admit that Qin Mu is of similar age to me, and his appearance, personality, and abilities are all outstanding. Marrying him is arguably my best choice. My marriage is not my own decision, so under these circumstances, I certainly hope that my marriage partner is as satisfactory as possible. I hope you can understand."
Meng Anran curled her lips. "From what you said, although you have no feelings for Qin Mu, you are very satisfied with Qin Mu's conditions and do not intend to break off the engagement with the Qin family. In that case, what did you come to talk to me about? What do you want me to understand?"
Song Wanqiu lowered her eyes and was silent for a moment. "I've seen you at a banquet before. You were by Young Master Lu's side, interacting with all kinds of people, calm and graceful. I envy you and like you very much, so I don't want you to misunderstand me. I am satisfied with this marriage, but I am not interested in Qin Mu. I just need this marriage and don't care about the relationship between you and Qin Mu. I hope to get along with you in harmony."
Meng Anran frowned slightly and smiled, "I think you misunderstood. I don't have the bad habit of being a mistress. Although I don't deny that I do like Qin Mu, I'm far from being a mistress for love. If he chooses to marry you, I will break up with him completely."
"I, that's not what I meant." Song Wanqiu wanted to explain clearly, but didn't know how to express her thoughts.
Meng Anran glanced at her calmly, picked up the coffee and took a sip. "If that's not what you meant, please think carefully before you speak. I don't want to waste time arguing with you about right and wrong."
It was obvious that Song Wanqiu had listened carefully, and she kept her head down to sort out her thoughts and organize her words.
As a young lady from a wealthy family, all she had to learn was how to speak nicely, how to speak in an official tone, and how to be likable as a lady from a noble family.
But no one had ever taught her the rigorous thinking logic in the business world to state something clearly and concisely.
As a result, she only learned to act gentle and virtuous when chatting. When facing Meng Anran, a veteran who has been in business for many years, she couldn't even express her true thoughts.
Only after Meng Anran's coffee was finished did Song Wanqiu carefully consider her words and speak again, "Miss Anran, Young Master Qin has been busy with the affairs of the Qin Group recently. I can see that he is trying to find a way to break off the engagement with my family. I came to you not to insist on this engagement, but I am afraid that you will regard me as an enemy, so I came here specifically to make my position clear to you. Regardless of whether the engagement between the Qin and Song families can be completed, I have absolutely no feelings towards Young Master Qin. I really can't make the decision on the engagement and can't help. I... admire you very much, so I don't want you to have any prejudice against me."
The canary raised in seclusion always longs for the free birds in the mountains and forests.
In the eyes of Lu Zhong and Bai Yujin, Meng Anran was just a chess piece that could be manipulated at will, and they could probably understand Song Wanqiu's feelings for her.
Song Wanqiu has been under the control of her family since she was a child. She has no pursuits of her own. Even when it comes to marriage, she just hopes that the marriage partner chosen by her family will be better.
Obviously, Qin Mu's conditions made Song Wanqiu unexpectedly satisfied.
Although she knew that Qin Mu and Meng Anran loved each other, she still could not find any reason to stop the engagement, nor did she have any ability to disobey her family's arrangements.
I can only come here to express my loyalty to Meng Anran and say some heartfelt words to try to have the best of both worlds.
But how many things in the world can have the best of both worlds?
Meng Anran smiled and said, "You're overthinking it. As a bargaining chip in a business transaction, you're only valuable between the Qin and Song families. You and I have no relationship at all, so why should I waste my energy hating you?"
Song Wanqiu was speechless, thinking that Meng Anran would blame her for taking Qin Mu away and therefore bear a grudge against her. However, Meng Anran was so perceptive that she asked her to come here, and all the heartfelt words she said became a joke.
I finally understood that saying - people who stay at the foot of the mountain will worry about trivial matters, while people who stand on the top of the mountain have the sound of clear wind in their ears and the beautiful mountains and rivers in front of them.
"Do you really love Qin Mu?"
Song Wanqiu was a little skeptical. They had known each other for sixteen years. If he truly loved her, how could he let go so easily and allow him to marry another woman?
"Do you think I should cry, make a scene, and even hang myself, starve myself and lose sleep over him, looking haggard?"
Meng Anran asked with amusement, and seeing Song Wanqiu pursed her lips silently, as if to admit it, she smiled and said:
"Honestly, Qin Mu is the only person I want. But, if I get him, I'm lucky, if I lose him, I'm doomed. Without love, I can use this time to manage my career and family and friends. Why waste time on sadness?"
Song Wanqiu stared at Meng Anran with admiration. She really admired this kind of insight.
She sometimes wondered if she would be as carefree as Meng Anran if one day she found out that she was not the biological daughter of the Song family.
But, everyone has their own destiny after all.
…
The Lu family is about to face a storm.
As soon as Lu Qingcheng walked in, she was not greeted with a warm greeting, but a teacup flying towards her in anger.
She subconsciously dodged to the side, and the teacup fell to the ground, with broken porcelain pieces flying everywhere and scratching her face, which she was proud of.
"Dad..." Tears quickly fell from the corners of her eyes and she looked at Lu Zhong timidly.
"Shut up!" Lu Zhong didn't want to listen to any more of her nonsense. "How many times have I warned you not to cause trouble for our family? You're so good that you've messed with the Qin Group?!"
Qin Group has recently started using new chips. In addition to preparing to release a new flagship phone, it is also planning to use the chips in its automotive industry.
The Lu family also wanted to get a piece of the pie and was about to discuss cooperation with the Qin family, but they found out that Lu Qingcheng had offended both the Qin family and Rui Ming!
Now that the chip technology is unavailable and the project cooperation has fallen through, bringing Lu Qingcheng back is simply the most wrong decision he has ever made in his life!
"Get out of the country! Don't come back without my permission!"
