Chu Yunxing remained silent for a long time, then gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"It's alright. In the journey of life, we will always lose friends, but we will meet more partners on the next leg of the journey. Mr. Yang's actions are his own fault, not your problem."
Song Mai knew that he had taken back General Manager Yang's shares, and he was actually very distressed.
But the deed was done, and he had to take responsibility for the company.
With the studio almost at their destination, Chu Yunxing felt much better after a brief chat with her.
She said softly, "I've arrived."
Then, she couldn't help but say, "Actually, Song Xinchen is quite simple-minded. Although she sometimes has bad intentions, her actions aren't malicious. Perhaps her wisdom in appearing foolish is also a kind of charm."
Chu Yunxing's smile slowly faded, and he said in a low voice, "Do you still think I should continue to be with her?"
"I just feel that you two have been together for so long, it would be a shame to end things like this." Song Mai noticed his low spirits and spoke cautiously.
Perhaps realizing that she shouldn't meddle, she quickly added, "I don't mean to interfere in your relationship, I just think you should reconsider."
"I understand. How is your relationship with Young Master Ji?" Chu Yunxing couldn't help but ask.
Song Mai lowered her eyes and shook her head in confusion.
"Actually, I don't know either. Our relationship doesn't seem to be as I imagined." She hesitated for a moment, then sighed helplessly.
Chu Yunxing didn't ask in detail, but he could vaguely sense that there was a problem between the two of them.
"You should also think about it carefully, just like you said."
After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.
After Song Mai got out of the car, she found Ji Fenghe waiting for her outside the door.
She naturally came to Ji Feng's side, and the two walked into the studio together, chatting and laughing.
Sitting in the car, Chu Yunxing could only watch quietly, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
He hesitated for a long time before driving away.
Throughout the journey, Song Mai's words kept replaying in his mind.
Does he really want to continue being with Song Xingchen?
Chu Yunxing dared not answer, nor did he know how to answer.
The only reason he was with Song Xingchen was because she looked exactly like Song Mai.
But in all this time, he hadn't even taken the initiative to hold her hand.
She was like the figure of Song Mai that I was looking for, but I could only admire her from afar because the feeling was never quite right.
He sighed subconsciously, even though he was in a bar and hadn't spoken for a long time.
Xie Xing said helplessly, "Seriously, bro? You're already here, why are you still so gloomy? It seems like every time you show up here, you look like you're deep in thought. Anyone who didn't know better would think you're here to discuss a business deal."
Jiang Jibai chuckled and joked from the side, "If only it were really about discussing cooperation, that would be great. You see, when our Master Yun discusses cooperation, he's never been this dull."
"I get it, it's probably because of the girl."
The two looked at each other and smiled, then burst into laughter.
Chu Yunxing did not change his expression because of the two people's ridicule; he just shook his head helplessly.
"This is the first time I've felt so lost, and I don't even know how to cope."
Xie Xing leaned closer, his face full of gossip: "Tell me, is this still because of Song Mai?"
“Besides her, who else could have captivated our Master Yun like this?” Jiang Jibai said helplessly. “However, Lin Ran told me that Song Mai is actually also doubting her own identity, but she hasn’t said it outright.”
"You told your girlfriend Song Mai's real identity?" Xie Xing asked, looking surprised.
Jiang Jibai scratched his head: "Of course not."
"She doesn't even know Song Mai's identity, so why would she think Song Mai suspects her?" Xie Xing said helplessly as he drank.
“She guessed it, and then I told him.”
Xie Xing spat out his drink, his face full of surprise: "Didn't you still tell her?"
“Lin Ran is Song Mai’s best friend, so she naturally has the right to know this. And the more people who know, the more people can help us.” Jiang Jibai slowly turned to look at Chu Yunxing. “Otherwise, do you really think we, a few grown men, can win Song Mai back?”
Just then, Chu Yunxing, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.
"Perhaps she's right, I did bother her."
The two people were stunned when they heard this.
Jiang Jibai glanced at the wine on his table: "You haven't had too much to drink, so why are you talking nonsense?"
"She told me to continue being with Song Xingchen. If she and Ji Fenghe are doing well, I might as well listen to her and be better off than pestering her every day."
The two had never seen Chu Yunxing so depressed. Even in the days following the news of Song Kai's death, he remained silent and unable to accept it.
"Don't say that. If Song Mai knew her background, she definitely wouldn't say such things. And how can you be so sure that Ji Fenghe will treat her well? They've been together for so many years and haven't gotten married yet. Isn't that enough to prove something?" Xie Xing began to persuade her.
These words indeed had an effect on Chu Yunxing.
He stood up abruptly and said, "Perhaps we should observe further. If their relationship is truly that good, I naturally won't interfere. But if there are problems between them, I won't let it go."
After saying that, he turned and left.
The two were left staring at each other, unsure how to describe their feelings at that moment.
After a long while, the two raised their glasses together and drank them down in one gulp.
The next morning, Chu Yunxing arrived at Song Mai's studio and happened to see Lin Ran helping out.
Lin Ran looked around to make sure Song Mai wasn't there before cautiously speaking, "Master Yun, there's something I need to tell you. I just heard that Ji Feng wants to propose to Mai Zi."
Chu Yunxing did not react at all, seemingly unsure how to respond.
"How come you're not worried at all?"
"If they can find happiness together, why should I interfere?" Chu Yunxing said calmly, a hint of hesitation on his face.
"That's not how it works. Ji Fenghe's parents have never liked Mai Zi. Last time they went home together, she even received some cold words from them. Do you think Ji Fenghe could go against his parents and treat Mai Zi well for the rest of his life?"
These words caused Chu Yunxing to hesitate again, and he sighed helplessly.
"I see."
On second thought, her own parents had never accepted Song Mai either.
But at least, Grandpa agreed.
