"Mom, why are you here?" After the last time, Zuo Shan finally managed to coax Zhang Yuefen back home, but it's only been a few days, why is she here again?
Living together was extremely unpleasant; their various unhygienic and careless habits almost drove her crazy.
She forced a smile and said, "Isn't this exactly when Brother Yuan needs help? I can manage on my own."
Zhang Yuefen didn't realize she was unwelcome and said aggrievedly, "Xiao Yuan thinks I'm in the way and that I'm causing him trouble, so he asked me to take care of Tianci."
"How could that be? Mom, you've always been the most capable. Is someone secretly trying to trip you up?" Zuo Shan was good at comforting people. Even if she was upset, Zhang Yuefen was still Xie Yuan's mother, so she had to coax her.
"It's all because of Song Xia!" Sure enough, Zhang Yuefen's angry rant turned to Song Xia. "If she hadn't suddenly stopped doing those things, why would we have needed to bother Xiao Yuan? I don't know what's wrong with her."
"How can you be so inconsiderate as Yuan's wife? Mom, you should rest for a while. I'll take you out for a walk later and buy some of Tianci's and your favorite dishes."
"You're so sensible. When you and Xiaoyuan first came home, Mom thought you were a good person, a virtuous and capable homemaker."
Zuo Shan couldn't laugh anymore. Before? Ha, she had a very deep impression of their first meeting!
At that time, the Xie family was still poor, and she and Xie Yuan were still in school. When she and Xie Yuan first went home, Zhang Yuefen looked at her with an unfriendly gaze, as if she were a fallen girl, and made her do chores as soon as she arrived.
If Xie Yuan weren't handsome and had good grades, and if dating him weren't a source of pride at school, she would have quit long ago.
It's fortunate that I was patient back then, otherwise I wouldn't be able to enjoy my life now.
Given her circumstances, she could at most snag an older man with a little money. What kind of capable, young, and handsome man like Xie Yuan would make her such a promise?
Because of the loyalty she had shown him over the years, Xie Yuan felt extremely guilty towards her. He even treated Song Xia, who had given him everything, with a cold shoulder, only thinking about making her his official wife.
To be honest, Song Xia was incredibly stupid. If she had Song Xia's advantages back then, how many Xie Yuans could she not find? Even if she wanted to get married, with her family background, she could easily suppress Zhang Yuefen and the others, and let them bully her. She was utterly foolish.
However, Song Xia isn't stupid. How could she enjoy such treatment herself? In the future, considering this, she should be a little more generous to Song Xia's daughter!
Soon she will be able to marry Xie Yuan openly and proudly, and soon she will be able to walk out and show herself off beautifully. As for Zhang Yuefen, she can endure a few more days.
As usual, Song Xia arrived at the company. There was even more gossip today, with some people even daring to criticize and complain to her face. Although they didn't name her, who couldn't tell?
"It's not good for people to be too strong-willed. If you really have the ability, that's fine, but if you don't, it's better to step down."
"Yeah, he can't even handle a simple project. He's not even as good as the new intern!"
"There's nothing I can do, being rich means you can do whatever you want."
"Even if you're being willful, you can't ruin someone else's hard work! The people you're working with are really unlucky."
The two men in the elevator were making veiled accusations, and one of them even deliberately asked Song Xia, "Mr. Song, don't you think so?"
Song Xia smiled slightly: "I don't know who you're talking about, but this is a company, and I hope you will focus more on your work. Talking about people behind their backs is not the behavior of a gentleman."
The two men's faces turned red and then pale. As soon as she walked out, they openly mocked her: "You can't even tell that? You're really stupid."
"She even tries to educate us with her so-called gentlemanly behavior. What does a woman like her know?"
"You've worked so hard all this time, Mr. Xie. Anyway, from now on, I won't listen to anyone else's orders, no matter what they do. I'll only follow Mr. Xie's lead."
"Me too. Some people only realize their mistakes after they've suffered a major setback."
"Sigh, I feel sorry for President Xie having to clean up after him."
The two laughed and joked without any restraint. Some employees frowned and shook their heads. No matter what, President Song is the boss of the company and the person with the most shares. Even if President Song and President Xie have any conflicts, it is a matter between husband and wife. Why should you interfere?
Furthermore, is President Song really as useless as people usually say?
Considering the increasingly strange atmosphere at the company lately, I've decided it's best to remain silent. What the future holds is still uncertain!
"How many days will Lingling be gone?"
"The tentative plan is five days, but if she enjoys it, we'll extend it for a few more days."
"Five days is long enough. Don't extend it. My parents and I miss her. And you, as her mother, are the least caring one, even though you raised Lingling yourself."
Song Xia smiled faintly: "Young eagles always have to fly high when they grow up, and children can't stay by your side forever. It's very necessary for them to broaden their horizons."
She was too naive and inexperienced when she was young, which is why she was fooled by Xie Yuan's sweet talk.
We must never let Lingling follow in her footsteps. We need to cultivate her life and work skills, and similarly, she needs to have a thorough understanding of the outside world and outsiders.
"Lingling is still so young. It's too early for her to think about these things. Girls are just too pampered. It's better to leave the hard work to others."
"Whoever we entrust it to, we only have one daughter, Lingling." Song Xia looked directly at him. "After all, it's unlikely that Lingling will be as lucky as me to marry someone like you to help me manage the company. You're a man, you know best the inherent flaws of men, how many of them aren't greedy?"
Hearing these words, Xie Yuan's expression became extremely unnatural.
Of course he wouldn't hand the company over to his future son-in-law; how could outsiders feel at ease?
The daughter will receive a dowry when she gets married, and the family property will naturally be inherited by the son.
But she couldn't say that to Song Xia now, so she could only coax her, "What you said makes sense, but we're here to help her with the selection process, aren't we?"
Song Xia ignored his comment and lazily hummed in agreement: "I'm not going home tonight, I have dinner plans with two friends."
"I also have dinner plans with two clients tonight. By the way, will you be able to make it to the board meeting tomorrow?" Xie Yuan asked nervously, as if afraid she would come.
Song Xia got up and opened the door: "If you can make it, then come; if you can't, then forget it."
Hearing this answer, Xie Yuanda breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Song Xia's attitude towards the company was not as bad as he had imagined.
Since that's the case, it's the same to let Lingling slow her down a few days later.
Outside the door, Song Xia curled her lips in disgust. The more she looked at Xie Yuan, the more boring she found him. His methods were not particularly clever, so how come she hadn't noticed them before?
Let Xie Yuan get a good night's sleep tonight; this will probably be the most peaceful sleep he'll ever have in his life!
