Chapter 04 Chapter 4

After returning to the apartment, Secretary Qian took Zong Fei to the study.

This duplex apartment was rented by Song Lingxi specifically. It is only one subway stop away from Xieqiao School and is considered a school district apartment.

Song Lingxi pulled Xie Qiao to sit on the sofa, found a medical kit from the cabinet, and applied medicine to him.

The potion was applied on his face, successfully turning the handsome, war-damaged boy into a cat.

It was a real cat. After cleaning all the wounds, Song Lingxi, the mother, drew a mini cat on Xie Qiao’s cheek.

Although Xie Qiao felt something was wrong, he did not resist. When he returned to his room and looked in the mirror, he discovered that there was a little cat on his face.

Xie Qiao: “…” What should I do if I have a mother who remains childish for more than ten years?

Sighing, Xie Qiao went to the bathroom to wash the cat off his face.

In the study room on the other side, Zong Fei sat upright on a chair, confronting the man across the desk with a stubborn look, but under the strong sense of oppression from the man, she turned her head away and no longer looked at him.

The man was gentle and handsome, with a pair of deep eyes hidden behind gold-rimmed glasses, which were hard to fathom and grasp. His expression was cold, as if nothing and no one could move him.

Even if the person sitting opposite him is his own son.

Seeing Zong Xuecheng like this, the bystanders looked at Zong Fei and seemed to understand something. It turned out that Zong Fei had been intentionally or unconsciously imitating his father's indifference and dominance. It's just that Zong Xuecheng's indifference is an iceberg that never melts, chilling one's bones from the inside out, while Zong Fei's indifference is a false shell that would break at the touch of a young man.

"I'm right. I know Wang Yizhi had ulterior motives to instigate this. I also know Xie Qiao didn't say anything. It was just a fight, so it's over." Zong Fei tried his best to remain calm. Didn't he know that he spoke first because he subconsciously couldn't stand the pressure from his father.

Zong Xuecheng's expression didn't change, not even his eyes moved, and he asked indifferently, "You're right, why are you here?"

Zong Fei choked and said through gritted teeth: "I don't know."

"Because I am fulfilling your wish," Zong Xuecheng's expression finally revealed a hint of impatience, "to fulfill your curiosity and your strong desire to win. There are too many geniuses in this world. Do you want to fight with all of them?"

Zong Fei's expression froze the moment Zong Xuecheng finished speaking, his face showing embarrassment and unwillingness of being seen through. Although Xuecheng's words were somewhat ambiguous, both father and son understood what he meant.

"I won't say it again. Put away your innocence and childishness. Even if you have to pretend, pretend to be perfect."

Zong Xuecheng ended the topic hastily without saying anything harsh, but it made Zong Fei feel as if he had been slapped in the face, with a burning pain on his face.

…

Song Lingxi returned to her bedroom, changed her clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

When he came out, he found that Zong Xuecheng appeared in the room, and Song Lingxi frowned slightly.

Zong Xuecheng had his back to her, unbuttoning his shirt with one hand. He didn't turn around when he heard the sound of the bathroom door opening, but took off his white shirt slowly and politely.

From the back, the man was tall and slender, with a monkey-like waist and a wasp back, and his arms were thin and strong.

The dressing mirror revealed Zong Xuecheng's elegant, handsome face. His deep eyes and gold-rimmed glasses gave him a gentlemanly temperament, while his cold expression made him seem unattainable.

If we say that Zong Fei in the novel was redeemed during his school days and grew up to be a domineering president with positive values, then the domineering president's father, Zong Xuecheng, was a domineering president of the previous generation who was cold-hearted and selfish, would do anything to achieve his goals, and would always make the choice that was most beneficial to himself.

Cold, dangerous, charming.

The colder he is, the more people want to warm him and get into his heart; the more dangerous he is, the more fascinating he is. Countless rich people have come one after another to pluck this flower from the high ridge, rushing to become Zong Fei's stepmother, but they have all returned empty-handed.

The more he couldn't get it, the more he obsessed over it. In the end, Zong Xuecheng became the white moonlight that the ladies and rich girls could never forget.

Song Lingxi, who was standing in the God's perspective, smacked his lips in his heart. The white moonlight hanging in the sky is the good white moonlight. Otherwise, if you force it to come down to earth, it will become a poisonous white moonlight and you won't know when it will kill you.

For example, the person who is most obsessed with Zong Xuecheng in the novel is Zong Fei's aunt, Wang Ruowei, Zong Xuecheng's sister-in-law. In order to let Bai Yueguang come down to earth, she successfully drives herself crazy.

At that time, the Zong family and the Wang family were getting married. The Wang family had two daughters of marriageable age, the eldest daughter Wang Ruonan and the younger daughter Wang Ruowei. Both sisters fell in love with Zong Xuecheng, but something happened in the middle. In the end, the elder sister Wang Ruonan won and successfully married Zong Xuecheng on behalf of the Wang family.

Because of marrying Zong Xuecheng, Wang Ruonan successfully obtained the position of heir to the Wang family. Wang Ruowei was unwilling to accept this and did several extraordinary things in succession. She was exiled overseas by the powerful Wang Ruonan.

A few years later, Wang Ruonan died of childbirth complications. When Wang Ruowei wanted to return to China, she was once again blocked overseas by her younger brother who had already risen to power.

After waiting for more than ten years, Wang Ruowei's younger brother died in a car accident without leaving any offspring. The Wang family saw that there was no one to inherit, so they had to bring Wang Ruowei back from abroad.

Wang Ruowei, who had been waiting for more than ten years, had become extremely stubborn. The first thing she did after returning to China was to propose a second marriage with the Zong family.

The first time the Wang family and the Zong family got married, it was a strong alliance, but more than ten years later, the Zong family prospered under Zong Xuecheng, while the Wang family gradually declined. At this time, if they got married again, the Wang family would naturally benefit. The Wang family strongly agreed with Wang Ruowei's approach.

With the support of the Wang family, Wang Ruowei launched a fierce pursuit of Zong Xuecheng for a while. He approached Zong Xuecheng many times in the name of Zong Fei, but was ignored by Zong Xuecheng.

Seeing that Zong Xuecheng didn't respond, Wang Ruowei somehow found out about the original owner's existence. She stubbornly believed that the original owner had prevented her from becoming Zong's wife, so she regarded the original owner as a thorn in her side and kept looking for opportunities to embarrass her.

Finally, at a party, the original owner was inexplicably locked in the toilet and a bucket of water was poured on his head. When the waiter found the original owner, he had a high fever and was unconscious.

The original owner had been extremely weak to begin with, and after this incident, all of his body functions failed, and he died after only a few months.

Due to the lack of surveillance and the perpetrators covering up for each other and testifying falsely, the murderer eventually got away with it. It was not until many years later that the evil Xie Qiao avenged his mother in his own way.

After the original owner died, Zong Xuecheng was as sad as if a bird had died. He just said lightly, "What a pity!" Apart from adopting Xie Qiao, there was no trace of sadness on his face.

Instead, he became interested in the second marriage proposed by the Wang family, so Zong Xuecheng began to date Wang Ruowei.

As for Wang Ruowei, she felt no guilt at all for killing a person, and she cared even less about the Wang family's business. She placed all her hopes on Zong Xuecheng. For Zong Xuecheng's sake, she even betrayed the Wang family and revealed the Wang family's trump card to Zong Xuecheng during the business competition, allowing Zong Xuecheng to successfully devour most of the Wang family.

At this point, Wang Ruowei still hasn't come to her senses, and even more bizarrely, she thinks that since Zong Xuecheng is interested in the Wang family, she can use the remaining half of the Wang family to hang on to Zong Xuecheng. She can go and tell Zong Xuecheng that as long as he marries her, she will use the Wang family as a dowry, and the day she marries into the Zong family will be the day the Wang family and the Zong family merge.

Song Lingxi: "..." Who knows, when will being in love be criminalized?!

The title of Poisonous White Moonlight is not given for nothing. Wang Ruowei is still a rare commodity and waits for Zong Xuecheng to agree to her conditions. However, Zong Xuecheng bypasses her and acquires most of the shares of Wang's company by swallowing up the shares. After that, Zong becomes the largest shareholder of Wang's company. Then, a shareholders' meeting is held and a proposal on Zong's acquisition of Wang's company is passed by vote.

I agreed to buy myself out. How brilliant the operation was, how ruthless I was to Wang Ruowei.

Wang Baochuan, the originator of love brain, dug wild vegetables for eighteen years and at least became the queen for eighteen days. Wang Ruowei lost the entire Wang family but got nothing in return. She couldn't bear the blow and went crazy.

Calculating the time, Wang Ruowei has already returned to China for some time. I don’t know what she will do next.

In some ways, there is nothing wrong with viewing Zong Xuecheng as a villain.

"Are you hungry?"

Zong Xuecheng's low voice interrupted Song Lingxi's thoughts. She came to her senses and found that Zong Xuecheng had changed into a clean shirt and looked at Song Lingxi through the mirror.

"I'm hungry." Song Lingxi nodded. Her dark hair, which had not yet been wiped clean, contrasted with her glowing white skin. Drops of water slid down her forehead and temples, further contrasting her snow-white skin and hair.

After spending the entire afternoon arguing with others at school, Song Lingxi was really hungry now. Of course, Song Lingxi could see that Zong Xuecheng had something to say, but she didn't want to listen now.

The world is big, but eating is the most important thing for me. Everything else has to be put aside.

Song Lingxi ignored Zong Xuecheng's scrutinizing eyes, took out his phone to order takeout, and kindly asked Zong Xuecheng:

"Have you eaten dinner yet? If not, can I order takeout?"

Zong Xuecheng thought Song Lingxi was avoiding the question out of guilt, and looked at her deeply.

Last night, Zong Xuecheng had a dream that was neither good nor bad. He dreamed that Song Lingxi was pregnant.

Originally, Zong Xuecheng didn't care. First, it was just a dream and had nothing to do with reality. Second, he and Song Lingxi had agreed a long time ago that they would not have children, and they had always taken good protective measures.

After so many years, Song Ling's attitude towards this is that she doesn't want to have another child. She is very content with the fact that she can't marry him and will never have a legal status in this life, and she never argues about it.

Because of this, Zong Xuecheng never thought about changing his lover in more than ten years.

But the dream was too real, so real that he could still remember all the details of the dream, including everyone's reactions, until he woke up from it.

Not surprisingly, in his dream he was disgusted with the upcoming child.

Because it represents a variable, a child with a variable will appear in the family's inheritance rights, and the variable should be eliminated.

If the dream predicted the future, was it hinting to him that it was time to end things with some people and things before future events happened?

"Don't order takeout yet. There's a family dinner at the old house tonight, and grandpa wants to meet you. Do you want to go?" Zong Xuecheng suddenly spoke in a soft voice, with a gentle expression on his face, as if an iceberg was gradually melting.

Song Lingxi: “…”

Oh my god, is Zong Xuecheng okay? Is he okay? Is he being penetrated? Is this something that Zong Xuecheng, the ultimate careerist, abnormal self-disciplined, and trapped person, would do?

Based on Song Lingxi's understanding of Zong Xuecheng, the probability of her bringing her lover to a family gathering is even smaller than the probability of her winning a 10 million lottery ticket.

Moreover, there is no such thing in the novel at all. The original owner never waited for Zong Xuecheng to bring her into the Zong family until her death, not to mention the nonsense that the Zong family's old man wanted to see the original owner.

My goodness, you are not here to test her, are you?

Could it be that she scolded Zong Fei and his secretary at school today, which irritated him? To the point that he thought he was thinking about getting promoted?

No, Zong Xuecheng would not make boring attempts. This should be a reminder or a warning.

Haha, if you try you will die, who is afraid of who? Song Lingxi's biggest problem is that he is very rebellious and can't stand provocation from others.

The traitor Song Lingxi immediately agreed, "Okay, what a coincidence, I also want to meet your grandfather."

Zong Xuecheng: “…”

I, also, want to meet your grandpa.

Zong Xuecheng knew every word of this sentence, but when it came out of Song Lingxi's mouth, it sounded so much like "I also allow your grandpa to see me"?

Zong Xuecheng looked at Song Lingxi strangely. After not seeing him for several months, Song Lingxi seemed to have changed.

Although he vaguely knew that Song Lingxi's character was not as weak as his appearance, Song Lingxi had always been more "Buddhist" in front of him, not talkative or argumentative.

This was the first time there was a sting in her words.

If Song Lingxi knew what Zong Xuecheng was thinking, he would definitely roll his eyes. The so-called "silent" was because she didn't want to talk to him, so she gave herself a "quiet" and "non-argumentative" personality.

Anyway, she only sees Zong Xuecheng five or six times a month at most, so the possibility of being exposed is very small. Even if she is exposed, it doesn't matter. As long as she is not embarrassed, no one will be embarrassed.

But now she is almost dead, so it doesn't matter whether her image collapses in front of Zong Xuecheng or not, so she just does whatever she wants.

Song Lingxi crossed his arms and looked at Zong Xuecheng as if he was watching a good show, wanting to see whether he would take him to the Zong family.

Before Zong Xuecheng could respond, there was a knock on the door, and Secretary Qian's somewhat embarrassed voice came from outside the door: "Boss... three people who claim to be Miss Song's parents and brother are here."

Song Lingxi was stunned and almost fainted by this news. The original owner still had parents! ? ?

It's no wonder Song Lingxi didn't know. When she traveled through time, she didn't have any memory of the original owner. In the novel, the original owner was just a background character, so it was impossible to introduce the original owner's life experience in detail.

The most important thing is that Song Lingxi has been here for more than ten years, but there is no contact information of her so-called family in her mobile phone, and she has never seen her "family" come to visit her. She almost thought that the original owner was an orphan.

It was strange that a family member whom I hadn't contacted for more than ten years suddenly showed up at my house late at night.

…

Zong Fei and Xie Qiao sat at each end of the sofa in the living room. Neither of them paid any attention to the other. They both lowered their heads and read posts on the campus network, with strange expressions on their faces.

Secretary Qian glanced at it and saw that the post seemed to be titled "Thank God's mother became a god in one battle, and Director Zhao was criticized in a famous scene."

Secretary Qian: “…” Could he be included in this post?

A family of three was sitting on the sofa opposite, said to be Song Lingxi's parents and younger brother. The three of them looked nervous and a little inappropriately excited.

The old man in the family of three pushed the arm of the woman next to him. The woman understood, cleared her throat and said, "You two are my eldest grandchildren, right? I'm your grandmother, hurry up and ask your mother to come out. Can't you see that your parents are here? You are such an unfilial daughter."

Zong Fei didn't even raise his head. Xie Qiao glanced at the old woman strangely and continued to browse his phone. As for Secretary Qian... he looked at her with his eyes and his nose, and it had nothing to do with him.

Tang Hongmei became angry instantly. She stared at Xie Qiao with a look that said "you seem to be seriously ill", which was exactly the same as the look she gave her eldest daughter who should have died long ago.

Tang Hongmei couldn't help but yell, "You need no discipline! What's your attitude? Where's Song Lingxi? Get out of here right now!"
