Shen Lin's cold gaze fell on Mu Mingwei. "Is this what Auntie calls doing this for my own good? If so, then Auntie can take back this kindness. I don't deserve it."
After finishing speaking, Shen Lin shook off Mu Mingwei's hand and strode outside with Tang Song.
Mu Mingwei wanted to chase after him, but Gu Shilin grabbed her hand. "Alright, Mom, you don't know how deep Second Brother's love for Second Sister-in-law is. Apart from Second Sister-in-law, Second Brother could never love anyone else. What you said is just hitting a nerve. Don't chase after him. He doesn't want to see you right now. I'll go check on him."
Gu Shilin came outside and looked at Shen Lin, who was about to get into the car, and spoke.
"Second Brother."
Upon hearing Gu Shilin's voice, Shen Lin stopped in his tracks, and Gu Shilin quickly ran up to him.
"Are you really not staying here anymore?" Gu Shilin asked.
Shen Lin nodded. "I can't face my aunt."
Gu Shilin could understand Shen Lin's feelings. Putting himself in Shen Lin's shoes, he also couldn't accept that the most important person in his life had destroyed his marriage.
"Then I'll take you to my villa. There aren't many people there, so you can do whatever you want without being bothered."
Gu Shilin thought that Shen Lin would definitely agree to his suggestion without hesitation, but in fact, Shen Lin shook his head.
"No need, I'll stay at a hotel."
Gu Shilin looked at Shen Lin with complicated emotions. "Second Brother, you're not going to distance yourself from me too, are you?"
"Don't overthink it. I just think staying in a hotel is more convenient. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on things at the Gu Group and help you out. That's all for now, I'm leaving."
After Shen Lin finished speaking, he patted Gu Shilin's arm and then got into his car and left.
Gu Shilin stood there watching the direction he left in, sighed, and still couldn't understand why his mother had done that.
Why would the mother treat her second sister-in-law like that?
...
After leaving the Gu family, Shen Lin went to a hotel. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, thinking about recent events, and gave instructions to Tang Song.
"Find out exactly why my aunt did this. Start with Song Zhengchu."
Tang Song, having received the information, immediately nodded.
"Yes, sir."
After Tang Song left, Shen Lin stood alone in front of the French windows, lost in thought for a long time.
In the end, he took his car keys, left the hotel, and drove to the Song family's house...
Upon arriving at the Song family's gate, Shen Lin did not get out of the car. He looked at Ye Xinning's bedroom, where the light was still on.
Just watching her from downstairs gave him a sense of peace.
...
The Song family.
Song Zhengchu was busy in his study when the phone rang. Just then, the maid came up to call him for lunch.
"Okay, I'll be down soon."
After Song Zhengchu finished speaking, he answered the phone.
"Hello."
After the call was connected, the person on the other end remained silent for a long time.
Just as Song Zhengchu thought the person on the other end had dialed the wrong number, a voice came from the other side.
"Brother, it's been a long time. Hope you're doing well."
Song Zhengchu paused, his hand holding the phone still. After a long while, he spoke in a deep voice, "I've said it before, ever since you did those things, I'm no longer your brother."
The person on the other end was Song Xiang. After hearing Song Zhengchu's cold words, she smiled.
"Really? But has my brother ever considered why I did that?"
"Regardless of anything, the sibling relationship between us has long been destroyed by your repeated scheming. You shouldn't have made this call."
After saying this coldly, Song Zhengchu prepared to hang up the phone.
"Really? I thought you were somewhat interested in Mu Mingwei's affairs. Since you don't want to listen, I'll have my dear niece listen. I just don't know if anything will happen to my niece who is pregnant and listening to these things. If something happens, it would be such a pity."
Song Xiang's words were full of threats, and Song Zhengchu could easily understand that.
The matter of Mu Mingwei was a hurdle that Ye Xinning couldn't get over. Song Xiang knew the reason, and he had to go on this trip.
“Ever since you did those things, I’ve said I would never set foot in the Qin family again.”
"Of course, let's meet outside. I'll send the address to my brother later."
After finishing speaking, Song Xiang hung up the phone.
Song Zhengchu pondered for a second, then got up, took his phone and car keys, and went downstairs.
Ye Xinning and Grandma Song were already sitting at the dining table downstairs. Seeing him come down, Ye Xinning said softly, "Dad, come and eat."
"You guys eat, I have something to do and I need to go out now."
Ye Xinning frowned. "It's lunchtime. Shouldn't Dad wait until he finishes eating before going out?"
"It's urgent, I have to go now, you and your grandma eat."
Grandma Song smiled at Ye Xinning and said, "Ningning, let's eat our food and ignore him. When he gets busy with work, he doesn't even have time to eat. I'm used to it."
Seeing this, Ye Xinning could only say, "Then Dad will go and get busy. Remember to eat when you're done."
"good."
...
The place Song Xiang and Song Zhengchu agreed to meet was a Chinese restaurant. As soon as Song Zhengchu walked in, he saw Song Xiang sitting by the window.
Song Zhengchu couldn't remember when he last saw Song Xiang outside the company.
From then on, Song Xiang became greedy and ruthless, doing so many things that disgusted him, that he never wanted to see Song Xiang again.
Song Xiang was wearing a red dress. Although she was over forty years old, time had not left any marks on her face.
Song Zhengchu walked over and sat down opposite Song Xiang.
Upon seeing him, Song Xiang took a sip of water and said softly, "Long time no see, brother."
Song Zhengchu calmly began, "Let's get to the point."
Song Xiang lowered his head and said casually, "It's been a long time. Are you in such a hurry? Don't you even feel like catching up, brother?"
"There's nothing left to say between us. At the company, you and I are adversaries, and Qin Xiang and the others hate me too. Isn't all of this your doing?"
"I caused this all by myself? Ha, brother, you're really trying to absolve yourself completely. Didn't Qin Xiang's father, Qin Yu, die because of you? It's only natural that Qin Xiang hates you."
When Qin Yu was mentioned, Song Zhengchu's eyes were full of frankness. "The plane crash back then was an accident. It had nothing to do with me. Whether it was you or Qin Xiang, you both had the preconceived notion that I was the one who did it."
"Hehe, brother, go tell these things to Qin Xiang. It won't do any good to tell me."
Under Song Xiang's influence, Qin Xiang had long since stopped respecting his uncle, so how could he possibly believe what he said?
Song Zhengchu looked at Song Xiang, unwilling to talk about Qin Yu any further.
"Let's get down to business. You said you knew why Mu Mingwei did these things, why?"
Song Xiang was still immersed in the past. When she heard Song Zhengchu ask this question, her eyes were full of sarcasm and mockery. "Brother should know best why Mu Mingwei did this. Why are you asking me instead?"
