"Manager Xie," Song Mai suddenly called out to Xie Manman.
"What's wrong?" This question made Xie Manman turn her head subconsciously, looking at her with a serious expression, with a vague sense of unease in her heart.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly wanted to thank you for taking care of me during this time."
Xie Manman smiled helplessly: "It's too early for you to thank me now. After all, we'll be working together at the company for many more years to come."
Song Mai chuckled and watched her head to the conference room.
Time passed slowly, and Song Mai walked straight into the elevator.
A passing employee kindly reminded him: "This elevator is reserved for Master Yun; ordinary people are not allowed to ride it."
"Thank you, I understand."
With the employees looking on in surprise, Song Mai closed the elevator door directly.
The elevator doesn't require a password because no one would dare use it on a normal day.
Song Mai had never been to the top floor before. The moment the elevator doors opened, she saw the magnificent decorations that came into view.
Everything here exudes luxury and elegance. For Song Mai, it's possible that she could never reach this level through her own efforts.
She sighed helplessly. There's a saying that goes, "Marrying well can change your destiny."
But Song Mai refused to believe in fate; she firmly believed that she could change her name against all odds through her own efforts.
Everything that happened during this period made her subconsciously believe that things were turning around for the better.
Just when everything seemed to be getting better, the world slapped itself in the face.
Hearing faint sounds of discussion coming from inside, Song Mai calmly went to the office door.
The thought of seeing Chu Xing's face as soon as she opened the door left her unsure of what expression to wear.
Just as she was about to ring the doorbell, the door opened without warning.
Song Mai and Assistant Lu locked eyes, and in that instant, Song Mai felt utterly ashamed.
Having been by Chu Xing's side for so long, Assistant Lu naturally understood the current situation.
He stood hesitantly in the doorway, repeatedly explaining, "Madam, Mr. Chu is inside discussing business, so it's probably inconvenient for him to come and see you right now."
"Is Mr. Chu discussing business with Mr. Yun?"
After these words were spoken, Assistant Lu was powerless to defend himself.
The moment she stood there, it proved that the truth could no longer be hidden.
“Madam…” After hesitating for a moment, Assistant Lu realized that he could not resolve the matter either, so he subconsciously took two steps back and stopped trying to stop her.
Song Mai calmly walked into the office and immediately saw Chu Xing engrossed in his work.
Chu Xing frowned, and without looking up, asked, "Didn't I just explain it to you? Is there anything you don't understand?"
The two people looked up and their eyes met.
A rare look of panic appeared on Chu Xing's face, and he quickly stood up.
"Master Yun, you've been hiding this very well."
Song Mai spoke these words expressionlessly, her tone tinged with disappointment and indifference.
Chu Xing had never seen Song Mai so aloof before. He looked at her helplessly, wanting to explain.
“Listen to me, there’s a reason for all of this.”
"What's the reason?" Song Mai looked around and slowly walked to the desk. "Are you worried that I will take away your assets, or do you feel a sense of accomplishment from teasing me like this?"
“I didn’t mean that. When Grandpa Chu strongly recommended you, I did have some doubts. But after spending so much time with you, I have absolutely no doubts about you.”
Chu Xing was usually eloquent when negotiating business, but at this moment he never realized that his mouth could be so clumsy.
Song Mai took a deep breath: "We've been together for so long, you've had countless opportunities to reveal your identity to me. But instead of doing so, you've tried every means to cover up your lies."
“Chu Xing,” Song Mai sneered, “Now I should call you Chu Yunxing. Do you think I’m as vain as other women? After learning that you are Master Yun, should I be all smiles and longing for the life of a rich wife?”
Chu Yunxing remained silent.
Plans can't keep up with changes. In just a few days, he will naturally confess everything to her at the proposal ceremony.
But now, Song Mai discovers that the outcome is completely different from what he revealed.
A few days' interval makes a world of difference.
Her gaze fell on Chu Yunxing again, her tired eyes filled with tears: "I thought everything would be alright, but I never expected that it was all your charity."
She took a deep breath and gently put down the resignation letter she had printed in advance.
"I don't need any charity, I'm returning it to you."
Chu Yunxing gripped her hand tightly: "Maizi, I have never thought of you as a vain girl. You are my lawfully wedded wife, the rightful Mrs. Chu!"
"My husband is Chu Xing. May I ask who you are?"
Chu Yunxing simply used his strength to pull him into his arms.
His voice was hoarse and full of suppressed emotions: "I know I did all of this wrong, but I hope you can listen to my explanation."
“I’ve never met you, Mr. Yun, and I have no idea what we have to talk about. I’ve already submitted my resignation and have nothing to do with Yunxing Group anymore.” Song Mai pushed him away angrily.
Now, his physical contact only makes me feel extremely disgusted.
Chu Yunxing took a deep breath, suppressing his irritation, and raised his voice: "I am speaking to you now as Chu Xing. Don't you want to listen to me anymore?"
"In a few days, our marriage agreement will end. I'd like to take this opportunity to make things clear to you."
Song Mai tidied her hair and stared straight at him.
"We have no relationship whatsoever, and there never will be. Please tell Grandpa Chu for me that I wish him good health."
After finishing her sentence, Song Mai turned around and left.
Chu Yunxing reached out to stop her, but found that he had no reason to do so.
Song Mai's resolute decision broke his heart, and he could only watch her leave in a daze.
Are you really sure you've thought it through?
"I don't want to have anything to do with scammers."
Chu Yunxing stepped forward: "All your achievements are the result of your own hard work. Don't you want to continue?"
“I don’t accept handouts, and this job opportunity was given to me by you. If you want us to end things amicably, then don’t try to hold on any longer.”
Song Mai walked out of the office without any hesitation.
Chu Yunxing could only stare blankly at her, unable to utter a word to persuade her to stay.
Assistant Lu instinctively wanted to stop Song Mai for his boss, but was stopped by her cold gaze.
A person who is usually calm and collected can be quite frightening when they get angry.
