Chapter 11: Shocking Rumors!
Xie Yanli threw the unfinished cigarette on the ground and stomped it out, then went to the parking lot without saying a word.
Shen Huaichuan looked at his slightly lonely figure and couldn't help but sigh. Everyone said that Xie Yanli was the most enviable object in the entire Beijing city. The Xie family had a huge fortune waiting for him to inherit, and he himself was also handsome, had a good figure and status.
But only Shen Huaichuan knew how depressed he was.
There are many hypocritical people around him who are eyeing him, trying to trip him up, and waiting to see him make mistakes. He also has a heartless father and a green tea stepmother.
Especially since his mother's death had such a huge negative impact on him, which made his already dull personality even more closed.
He knew how much Xie Yanli liked Song Qiao, and he firmly believed that Song Qiao was the only one who could help him untie his knot. Since Chen Yang was such a good-for-nothing, instead of letting Song Qiao regret marrying him in the future, it would be better for Xie Yanli to get her back before the wedding now.
However, this was just his wishful thinking. Given Xie Yanli's arrogant and dull personality, it was indeed difficult.
He suddenly had an idea and thought of a way. Although this idea was a bit damaging, face was not important, the result was the most important. He took out his mobile phone and called a familiar media reporter.
———
After Song Qiao got a taxi, Xie Yanli followed the taxi all the way until the taxi stopped safely in front of Song Qiao's villa. He saw Song Qiao enter the door.
He lit a cigarette, and a flash of scarlet light flickered in the darkness, illuminating his cold face.
When Song Qiao walked in, she saw the lights in the living room were on and Bai Shuyu was sitting on the sofa waiting for her.
She frowned, walked to her side uneasily, put her arm around her and said softly, "Mom, it's so late, why aren't you asleep yet? Didn't I tell you that you shouldn't wait for me anymore when it's too late in the future?"
Bai Shuyu smelled the alcohol in her breath, pinched her nose in dissatisfaction, and said with a sullen face: "Qiao Qiao, it's so late, how can a girl like you drink so much? How can I rest assured if you are like this?"
Seeing that she was angry, Song Qiao leaned on Bai Shuyu and said coquettishly, "Mom, I happened to catch up with a friend's party today, so I drank a few more glasses."
Bai Shuyu frowned and asked, "Didn't you agree to go out to dinner with Chen Yang and his mother tonight?"
Song Qiao didn't want Bai Shuyu to worry, so she pursed her lips and explained, "Yes, we ran into each other in the restaurant when we were leaving after dinner, and I was dragged to the party again."
Bai Shuyu knew her daughter best. She couldn't lie at all. She looked at Song Qiao and asked solemnly, "Tell me the truth, has Xu Qin caused you trouble again?"
Song Qiao knew that she was like a transparent person in front of Bai Shuyu, and she couldn't hide any secrets. She nodded awkwardly.
Bai Shuyu's face suddenly became solemn. She stared at Song Qiao and warned, "Qiao Qiao, Chen Yang is very good, but Xu Qin is his mother. They are inseparable in this life. Marriage is not a matter of two people, but a matter of two families. While you two are not married yet, you should think about it carefully."
Song Qiao's eyes darkened. After a moment of silence, she lowered her head and replied, "Mom, I know."
She went back to her room, washed up, and turned on her cell phone. She did not receive any call or message from Chen Yang. Her heart was suddenly filled with disappointment.
She couldn't sleep tonight. All she could think about was what Xu Qin had said to her at the dinner table and what Bai Shuyu had just said. She wondered to herself if she had really made the wrong choice.
The more she thought about it, the more overwhelmed she felt. In the end, she simply stopped thinking about it. She lay in bed with her eyes closed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
She fell into a deep sleep until dawn, but was awakened by a nightmare not long after she fell asleep. She dreamed that she and Xie Yanli got married and had a baby, which was really unlucky for her.
She looked at the time and it was already eight o'clock in the morning. She quickly got up and went to wash up. When she finished washing and just walked out of the room, she heard Chen Yang's voice.
She leaned against the stairs on the second floor and looked down, only to see Chen Yang immediately stand up from the sofa when he heard the noise. He greeted her with a smile on his face.
Song Qiao thought about how he left her in the restaurant last night and didn't even call her afterwards, but now he acted like nothing happened. She felt very angry.
Is he trying to coax her into submission with just a few words? The more she thought about it, the more wronged and sad she felt. She glared at him and went back to her room.
When she changed her clothes and put on makeup and went downstairs, Chen Yang was chatting with Bai Shuyu. Although they stopped chatting after she went downstairs, Song Qiao knew without guessing that they were talking about what happened last night.
Bai Shuyu saw her and said to her lovingly, "Qiao Qiao, it's getting late. You should hurry up and have breakfast, and then let Chen Yang take you to work."
Song Qiao didn't want to argue with Chen Yang in front of Bai Shuyu, so she obediently went to the restaurant to eat. After dinner, Chen Yang exchanged a few words with Bai Shuyu, and then they left the villa together.
After going out, Song Qiao shook him off and walked quickly forward, while Chen Yang jogged after her. He diligently helped her open the passenger door. Song Qiao was afraid that she would not have enough time, so she opened the back door reluctantly and got in.
Seeing this, Chen Yang had no choice but to enter the driver's seat and give her the flowers on the passenger seat.
Song Qiao curled her lips and refused to accept it.
Chen Yang held the flowers in her hands and explained, "Qiao Qiao, I know you blame me for not going back to see you last night, and not calling you. Qiao Qiao, please listen to my explanation. I was indeed wrong about what happened yesterday, but I really couldn't help it."
Song Qiao frowned and looked at him: "Why can't you do anything? Who can still restrict your personal freedom?"
Chen Yang's face darkened slightly, and he sighed, "Qiao Qiao, I have not hidden my mother's personality from you. Last night, my mother made a scene all the way in the car, and when we got to Shiyu's house, she cried and made a scene until the middle of the night. I really couldn't get away from her."
"Chen Yang, since your mother doesn't like me so much, let's just break up, so you don't have to be caught in the middle."
Chen Yang's eyes first revealed an expression of disbelief, and then he seemed to have suddenly lost all his strength, and the expression on his face became extremely stiff and ugly.
The next second, his eyes were red and he said in a hoarse voice: "Qiao Qiao, are you not going to want me anymore?"
Song Qiao could see that he was trying hard to control his emotions, and her heart softened a little.
But she thought of Bai Shuyu's advice last night, and hardened her heart and said, "Chen Yang, your mother hates me so much, we won't be happy even if we get married. It's better to suffer a short pain than a long one, so let's just forget it."
Chen Yang pressed on, "Qiao Qiao, have you really thought about it?"
Song Qiao said insincerely, "Yes, I've thought about it."
Seeing Song Qiao's firm attitude, Chen Yang's shoulders drooped slightly. After a long silence, he said with red eyes: "Qiao Qiao, it's all my fault. I failed to handle the relationship between you and my mother well and made you feel wronged. There are so many good men for a girl as outstanding as you. I'm not worthy of you, Qiao Qiao, I'm sorry."
Song Qiao pursed her lips. Although she didn't say anything, she felt very uncomfortable.
Chen Yang pulled out a bank card from his coat pocket. With tears in his eyes, he whispered, "Qiao Qiao, this is the money I earned from my part-time job over the past two years. There is nearly 100,000 yuan in it. The password is your birthday. I originally wanted to use this money as a betrothal gift to you, but since I can't use it anymore, I'll leave it to you."
When Song Qiao saw Chen Yang like this, he felt a little moved.
Chen Yang wiped away her tears and choked up, "Qiao Qiao, I haven't given you anything nice in the past few years that you and I have been together. These are my way of making up for it."
After he said that, he placed the bank card very solemnly in Song Qiao's hand.
When Song Qiao saw Chen Yang's decadent and lonely look, his heart suddenly became weak.
She stuffed the bank card back into his hand and said in a softer tone, "Keep this money and give it to me when we have the betrothal gift."
Chen Yang's originally dull eyes suddenly burst into a strange brilliance. He suppressed the excitement in his heart, looked at Song Qiao timidly and asked: "Qiao Qiao, you are not breaking up with me?"
Song Qiao curled her lips and said sternly: "Then you have to promise me that when your mother makes trouble for me in the future, you must stand on my side."
A smile spread across Chen Yang's face, and he nodded vigorously in response: "Qiao Qiao, as long as you don't break up with me, I'll agree to anything."
After he finished speaking, he gave Song Qiao a gentle and tender kiss on the forehead, then handed her the bouquet of flowers. After Song Qiao accepted it, he started the car and took her to the studio first.
Song Qiao had just entered the studio with the flowers in her arms when she received a call from Chen Yao. When she heard what Chen Yao said, her jaw dropped.
She looked around, responded to the employees' greetings, and quickly entered the office.
She closed the door, put the flowers on the desk, and asked in a disbelieving voice: "Chen Yao, what did you just say? The news of not holding a thank you banquet has now spread throughout the entire Beijing city? Is your information reliable?"
