"What do you mean by that?" Song Zhengchu asked.
Song Xiang looked at Song Zhengchu, "Brother, do you really want to know?"
Song Zhengchu pursed his lips and remained silent.
Song Xiang lowered her head. The waiter quickly brought out the dishes. She slowly said, "Have a meal with me. After we finish eating, I will naturally tell my brother what you want to know."
Song Zhengchu frowned. Song Xiang knew he didn't want to eat with her, but she still said, "Of course, brother can go out now, but brother, think it through. If you go out now, you won't get anything."
Song Xiang's words were a clear threat.
Song Zhengchu knew that if he didn't eat this meal, he wouldn't be able to get any useful information from Song Xiang.
The two sat facing each other. Song Xiang held cutlery in her hand, looked at the Chinese food on the table, and said calmly, "When my brother was in Nancheng, he ate with that woman sitting face to face like this, right?"
The woman Song Xiang was referring to was Ye Rouxin.
Song Zhengchu's gaze fell on her. "According to the rules, you should call her sister-in-law."
"Sister-in-law?"
Song Xiang seemed to have heard a joke; her tone remained calm, but her gaze was chillingly cold.
"No one in this world is worthy of my brother, and that woman is no exception."
"Your inner demons are too strong. If you continue like this, you will only suffer."
Song Xiang tugged at the corners of her lips, raised her head, and smiled. "Brother has always known what I want, but what did you do back then? You encouraged Mother to make me marry Qin Yu, to make me leave the Song family, and to make me marry someone I didn't love. Everything I have now is thanks to you, brother."
“You chose to marry Qin Yu yourself. If it wasn’t your own choice, neither I nor Mom could force you.”
"If my brother hadn't done so many hurtful things to me, how could I have married Qin Yu? In the end, the way I am now is all inextricably linked to my brother."
Song Zhengchu raised his head and met Song Xiang's gaze.
After a long while, he looked away and said, "I told you before that there are some obsessions you shouldn't have. It seems that you still haven't grasped this principle."
Song Xiang lowered her head, as if mocking herself, or perhaps mocking Song Zhengchu. "What right does brother have to say such things? What I want, brother has never given me. Now you're standing on the moral high ground to lecture me? I don't accept this kind of education. I'm not wrong, I've never been wrong. Everything I did in the Song family was to pursue what I wanted in my heart. But since I married Qin Yu, everything I've done has been forced upon me by you."
"Do you still think you did nothing wrong even now?"
Song Xiang suddenly became agitated. She glared at Song Zhengchu and raised her voice considerably, "I didn't. It's just that you've never cared about me, brother. I don't believe you can't see my feelings for you."
Song Zhengchu put down his cutlery and looked at Song Xiang, "We are siblings."
"What kind of siblings are we? I am an adopted daughter of the Song family. I have no blood relation with you." Song Xiang recalled the past, tears welling up in her eyes. "If it weren't for your cold attitude, why would I want the position of the Song family heir? Why would I have argued with Father and made him have a heart attack? It's all because of you, brother. If you hadn't been so cold to me, why would I have done these things?"
Song Zhengchu's eyes were cold and indifferent. Even when Song Xiang cried in front of him, he remained unmoved. "I have said long ago that I only have familial feelings for you. You are too persistent."
"Family ties?" Song Xiang laughed sarcastically. "Do you know what I was thinking after I married Qin Yu? I wanted revenge. I wanted to see what kind of woman you finally found. But what about you? You fell in love with that woman in Nancheng during a business trip. I was wondering what was so good about that woman. But later it turned out that you loved the wrong person. When I saw your marriage with that woman fail and you return to France, I was happy. I was even gloating. See, the woman you carefully chose still betrayed you in the end."
Song Xiang was emotional, and when she got to this point, seeing that Song Zhengchu still had a cold expression on his face, she turned her head away in despair.
She couldn't eat the meal anymore. She calmed herself down and wiped away her tears.
She took out a stack of photos from her bag. "These are what I promised you, as payment for having this meal with me. But brother, you are still the same as before, so indifferent, so... not what I wanted."
After saying this, Song Xiang picked up her bag and left without looking back.
Song Zhengchu stared at Song Xiang's departing figure, his gaze lingering for a long time before finally looking away.
He never had any romantic feelings for Song Xiang. Perhaps his inability to reciprocate her feelings caused Song Xiang to turn love into hatred and take the wrong path. But if he had to do it all over again, he would still make the same choice.
Song Zhengchu lowered his head and opened the photo that Song Xiang had given him. The contents of the photo stunned him.
The photo must be quite old; you can feel the marks of time just by holding it in your hand. Song Zhengchu looked at the two people in the photo, their intimate gestures and their eyes full of love.
It's clear that the woman in the photo is a young Mu Mingwei, and as for the man...
Qin Yu has a younger brother, Qin Yongwang.
More than 20 years ago, Qin Yongwang was a good friend of Song Zhengchu. The two discussed business together and went through thick and thin together.
Later, during a business trip, Qin Yongwang encountered criminals at sea while trying to help him transport goods safely, and he died in that accident.
At the time, this incident caused a great sensation. Qin Yu came to him to demand an explanation but was stopped by the Qin family. It was also because of Qin Yongwang's matter that he felt guilty towards the Qin family. Later, when Qin Yu pursued Song Xiang, he tacitly approved.
The man in the photo that Song Xiang just gave me is Qin Yongwang.
Qin Yongwang had actually been with Mu Mingwei; he never imagined that the two of them could have a relationship.
That makes the relationship seem clearer.
Qin Yongwang was the person Mu Mingwei loved, and Qin Yongwang's death was related to him, which is why Mu Mingwei sought revenge. Her way of taking revenge was to target Ye Rouxin and Ye Xinning, so that they would also experience the pain of losing someone important.
Song Zhengchu slapped his head in frustration. How could he not have thought of this?
If he had known about Mu Mingwei and Qin Yongwang earlier, perhaps none of this would have happened.
Song Zhengchu took the things and drove back to the Song family home.
He needed to tell Ye Xinning about this as soon as possible.
Mu Mingwei is so crazy, and Qin Yongwang is already dead. It's hard to guarantee that Mu Mingwei won't go so far as to do these things.
