The reason Song Xingchen was kept was because her features resembled Song Mai's.
I don't know where she found the audio of Song Mai's speech, but she deliberately studied Song Mai's voice and pronunciation.
These actions were all under Chu Yunxing's control, and he usually turned a blind eye to them.
He gave her endless riches and luxury, so it was only right that she comforted him at first.
It was precisely her tolerance that emboldened Song Xingchen, who even attempted to erase the few remaining traces of Song Mai in her life.
Looking at her alluring appearance, Chu Yunxing felt absolutely no desire.
Irritated, I walked past her and sat down on the sofa, lighting a cigarette.
Song Xingchen gritted her teeth, stubbornly came to his side, and cautiously said, "Ah Xing, cigarettes are bad for your health."
As she spoke, she stretched out her slender fingers in front of Chu Yunxing, preparing to snatch the cigarette.
Chu Yunxing frowned in annoyance, his cold eyes filled with frost as he stared at Song Xingchen without saying a word.
This appearance instilled fear in Song Xingchen, and she dared not continue.
"I know I did something wrong, and I've tried my best to make up for it. You should at least give me a chance. Or do you really want to get rid of me?"
Song Xingchen feigned grievance and spoke, becoming increasingly angry.
She thought this would attract Chu Yunxing's attention, but to her surprise, he didn't react at all.
The so-called protest seemed increasingly ridiculous to Chu Yunxing, who casually remarked, "You should understand who gave you everything you have now."
Song Xingchen's heart skipped a beat. If Chu Yunxing was serious, then everything she owned would be gone.
She grabbed Chu Yunxing anxiously and explained, "I was wrong. What I said just now was not what I meant. Please don't be angry."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yunxing looked annoyed.
Such an aura made Song Xingchen dare not speak again, and she could only watch helplessly as Chu Yunxing's face was hidden in the smoke, his eyes filled with a hint of disgust.
Such a gaze made Song Xingchen reluctantly withdraw his hand, and he said in a deep voice, "Ah Xing, then I'll be going now."
Chu Yunxing never allowed her to stay overnight here, supposedly because this house was a 100% replica of the place where he and Song Mai lived.
Every ornament inside holds memories of the two of them, so much so that if Song Xingchen makes even the slightest change to any of them, Chu Yunxing will react violently.
The door was gently closed, leaving Chu Yunxing alone in the large house.
He looked up at the familiar place, and the woman he had met at the bar came to mind.
That stunningly beautiful face is unforgettable after just one glance.
Chu Yunxing couldn't understand how two people could be so similar in the world.
He sent the time and location to his assistant, Lu, ordering him to provide results within three days.
The next morning, Assistant Lu came to the office to report.
Seeing Chu Yunxing's weathered face, Assistant Lu hesitated to speak.
"explain."
Having never seen his boss so anxious before, Assistant Lu couldn't help but worry.
"YJ's chief designer has decided to hold an exhibition of his works tomorrow and has sent you an invitation."
YJ's chief designer, Bai Wan'er, suddenly emerged four years ago, stunning the world with her work. Yunxing Group is currently preparing to launch a jewelry brand, and if they can collaborate with designer Bai Wan'er, they can certainly quickly push their products onto the international stage.
Although Yunxing Group has ventured into various industries over the years, the jewelry industry has always been a weak point.
That's why Chu Yunxing tried every means to contact YJ Company.
Unlike other designers, Bai Wan'er's imaginative designs have attracted the interest of many companies. However, she has an unwritten rule: she does not accept any pre-orders.
The only way to cooperate is to pique Bai Wan'er's interest.
She values "being compatible," meaning everything depends on her mood.
Such behavior would be seen as diva-like by others, but in her case, it became a unique highlight.
"Why is it only being sent now?" Chu Yunxing has a meeting tomorrow.
"Designer Bai just released the message; there was no prior indication of it," Assistant Lu said cautiously. This Designer Bai was quite capricious.
If I work with her, I don't know what will happen next.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel worried for Chu Yunxing.
Everyone knows that over the past five years, Master Yun's personality has become increasingly withdrawn, and the two of them might not get along, so even if they cooperate, it might end in unpleasantness.
However, no one dared to say these things, and Assistant Lu was certainly not looking for trouble.
Chu Yunxing turned to look at him and said in a low voice, "I understand. Cancel tomorrow's meeting."
"Master Yun, tomorrow's seminar is of utmost importance and we cannot refuse."
Special Assistant Lu rarely interfered with Chu Yunxing's decisions, unless it was something extremely urgent.
Chu Yunxing pondered for a moment and then said, "Let's start the meeting an hour early."
The next day, when Chu Yunxing's meeting ended, the art exhibition had already been going on for half an hour.
However, there was still time, and Chu Yunxing did not say anything more.
Upon successfully entering the venue, a huge painting came into view. A couple stood atop the ruins, devoutly holding a wedding ceremony.
This painting made Chu Yunxing unable to move any further, and he immediately looked at Assistant Lu: "Is this Bai Wan'er's work?"
At this moment, Assistant Lu was also dumbfounded. After a moment, he reacted and swallowed hard: "Yes."
"It's her!" Chu Yunxing excitedly strode into the hall.
He and Song Mai witnessed the couple's ceremony in the South. Song Mai was filled with emotion and envy.
This scene holds profound significance for both of them; if it weren't for Song Mai, who would have painted this scene with such solemnity?
Upon entering, the hall fell silent. Everyone instinctively frowned and turned to look at the person who had interrupted the speaker.
Unexpectedly, the moment they saw Chu Yunxing, everyone's faces immediately showed a sense of relief.
This Master Yun is not easy to deal with; he is all-powerful, and even if he interrupts Bai Wan'er's speech, no one dares to object.
Chu Yunxing sat in his seat, looking at the woman holding the microphone on the stage.
He was wearing a long black fringed dress and was explaining his paintings with a serious expression.
His hoarse voice, full of vicissitudes, was captivating.
The light shone on the painting, obscuring the woman's features. Chu Yunxing subconsciously squinted, trying to get a closer look.
"...This is what I want to express in my next art exhibition: peace and freedom." The woman bowed slightly, and as she stood up, the beam of light shone on her.
At that moment, she radiated a dazzling light.
Upon seeing that face, Chu Yunxing's eyes trembled slightly, and he froze on the spot.
Songmai!
The face that haunted his dreams was now right before his eyes!
