"That's true." Guan Liya was no longer worried.
After Cheng Dongge sent Qi Chengyue home, he saw Sun Shaoyun waiting at the door.
"I will marry her," Cheng Dongge said indifferently as he closed the door.
"Let's talk," Sun Shaoyun said as she walked to the living room and sat down. She patted the seat next to her for Cheng Dongge to sit down.
"Dongge, I don't have anything against her. Even if she's divorced and her family background aside, I do like her. But marriage isn't just about liking someone. Have you ever thought about the series of things that will happen after marriage? I'm afraid you'll be at a disadvantage. After all, our family is just an ordinary one. We can barely be considered a scholarly family. Your father is a professor at Gravel City University. Before I was promoted to the dean of Gravel City No.2 High School, I taught Chinese. We are a cultured family, but compared to the Qi family, the gap is too big, "Sun Shaoyun said.
"Dongge, you're working for the Qi family. If something really happens, don't say it's a big deal. Just say it's a quarrel between husband and wife. This is something that will definitely happen after marriage. But at that time, with Qi Chengyue's status and your status in the Qi family, what right do you have to say anything? Don't you have to agree to whatever the Qi family says? A marriage where the woman is superior to the man won't end well. "
"Mom, you don't have to worry about this kind of thing. Chengyue isn't that kind of person. The Qi family is also a reasonable family. Moreover, in my relationship with her, she has always been the one who thinks about me. She always thinks about me and listens to me. Indeed, she's a rich young lady. Sometimes she has a little temper, but all girls have moments where they throw a tantrum. It has nothing to do with their status. Girls are spoiled by their families since they were young. Their upbringing is different from that of boys. It's inevitable that they will be a little spoiled. But in this aspect, Chengyue is much better than most girls. Sometimes she has a little temper, but as long as I coax her, she'll be fine. In fact, she's especially afraid that I'll be angry. In fact, most of the time, she's the one who coaxes me. In public, he gave me a lot of face. "
"Just yesterday, she saw with her own eyes a young lady from another family chasing after me. She took the initiative to fix my necktie. She was jealous, but she didn't show it in front of outsiders. She was still considerate to me. She also knew that I didn't do anything wrong to her. Even after the incident, she didn't throw a tantrum at me. You say that her family background is too powerful, but she can do this. Many girls from ordinary families can't do this. Mom, are you sure that even if I find a girl from an ordinary family, I'll be able to do as well as her? "
Sun Shaoyun was silent for a moment before she said, "That day when you left to chase after her, I investigated the matter between her and her ex-husband at home. I didn't expect it to be so big that it was even on the news online. After the divorce, her ex-husband lost his job in Qi Lin, and he was kicked out of the Qi family. From this, one could see the status and merits of the marriage. Do you think that after you get married, you can really be equal to her? "
Cheng Dongge looked at her and said, "Since you've investigated, then you should also know that it was her ex-husband who had an affair first. He even had a child with that woman. Just based on this, do you still want him to stay in Qi Lin to make trouble for others? Do you still want to share some of the Qi family's assets with him? Mom, if it were you, would you be willing? "
"…" Sun Shaoyun choked and couldn't speak.
"Mom, I want to marry her. Whether before or after marriage, I won't do anything wrong to her. Naturally, she won't do anything to me because of the Qi family. If I let her down, then I deserve to be kicked out of the Qi family. I'm marrying her. I'm marrying her for who she is, not her past life, not her background. Even before I got together with her, Young Master Cheng had already told me that when the general manager of Qi Lin Technology retired, he would still return to the position of general manager. Then, I would be the general manager of Qi Lin Real Estate. This has nothing to do with whether I'm with Cheng Yue or not, "Cheng Dongge said.
Sun Shaoyun looked at him in surprise. For a moment, she was pleasantly surprised.
"It's me who wants to marry her, not you and Dad. If I like her, you can't force us to break up and interfere with our relationship, can you? Even if your worries come true in the future, this is the result of my choice today, and I can bear it myself. But if it doesn't, then my choice today is my happiness in the future. Any marriage is like a bet. The result is either you win or lose. No couple can guarantee that they will be together forever when they get married. Why can't you open your heart and accept her? Just treat her like an ordinary girl, give us a chance, and watch us go on together? "
"You've seen it for yourself today. She's usually a pampered person at home, but she's very careful in front of you. Usually, the servants at home do everything for her, but when it comes to you, she's always trying to please you. Don't look at her identity and background. Just look at her heart. Because she really loves me, she's willing to lower her status to my family. You also saw this morning that she had no clothes to wear, so she could only take my clothes. After you left, she couldn't chase after you in that dress, so she waited anxiously for me at the elevator door. Even the neighbors saw her in such a sorry state. She was really anxious. If she didn't care about you, how could it be like this? If she had the airs of a rich young lady, why would she compromise to please you for me? Whether you like it or not, as the young lady of the Qi family, why should she care? "
Sun Shaoyun was silent. She sighed and said, "You … let me think about it."
…
…
The next day, Qi Chengyue drove to Cheng Dongge's house early in the morning to send Sun Shaoyun to the airport with Cheng Dongge.
They lined up with Sun Shaoyun to go through the security check. When they were about to line up, Sun Shaoyun said, "It's almost my turn. You can go back."
Although she was still not very natural with Qi Chengyue, she was more talkative than yesterday, which was an improvement.
When Sun Shaoyun went in, Cheng Dongge and Qi Chengyue were still watching from outside. They didn't leave until they couldn't see her anymore.
"Come home with me next weekend," Cheng Dongge said as he held Qi Chengyue's hand.
"Okay."
…
…
On Monday, Mu Sisi came to the office. Her fever had subsided, and she was discharged from the hospital. Her long bangs were cut into thick bangs to cover the gauze on her forehead.
She returned to the office and sat on the chair. She took out a mirror about the size of an Apple Mini from the drawer and put it on the table. She lifted the bangs in front of her forehead and looked at the six or seven centimeters square of gauze wrapped around her forehead.
Mu Sisi took a deep breath and lifted the gauze from the bottom to the top, completely exposing the wound under the gauze.
Even though she was looking at herself, Mu Sisi revealed a disgusted expression.
The scar on her forehead seemed to have spread even further. The surrounding area was red and inflamed, and the entire wound was swollen. After the pus on the surface had shrunk, it left behind a coffee-colored and feces-yellow scar and pus skin. The originally neat stitches were now hidden in the swollen and inflamed wound, and they were almost invisible. All that could be seen was a bright red patch and a crooked scar.
Mu Sisi herself felt disgusted. She gritted her teeth and her face twisted. The scar, which had already spread to the size of a silver dollar during the Republic of China, looked even uglier and more disgusting.
She endured it and took out the anti-inflammatory ointment prescribed by the hospital. After disinfecting the wound, she used a cotton pad to apply the ointment. In order to heal faster, she applied an especially thick layer.
She had just finished applying the ointment when there was a knock on the door. Mu Sisi hurriedly put the gauze back on and combed her bangs to cover the gauze before saying, "Come in."
She put the ointment back in her bag. The receptionist came over and placed a letter on her table. "Miss Mu, there's a package for you."
Mu Sisi felt strange. She hadn't ordered anything, so she took the package. It was thin.
After sending the receptionist away, she tore open the seal and took a look. She didn't expect it to be a subpoena from the court with an indictment attached.
The indictment was for false accusation. The plaintiff was Ruan Danchen, and the plaintiff's lawyer was Song Dafu.
Mu Sisi remembered that Song Dafu was Qi Lin's lawyer.
She didn't believe that Ruan Danchen would have the guts to sue her, not to mention that she was using Qi Lin's lawyer. Ruan Danchen didn't have that kind of wealth.
The only possibility was that Song Yu was using Ruan Danchen's case to take revenge on her.
"Song Yu!" Mu Sisi stood up quickly and grabbed the subpoena and the indictment. She went to Mu Huaisheng's office.
…
…
Mu Huaisheng looked at the subpoena and the indictment, but he appeared very calm.
He immediately made a phone call. "Lawyer Gu, please come over. There's a case that I need to discuss with you."
After hanging up the phone, Mu Sisi looked at him in disbelief. "You've decided to go to court just like that? Shouldn't you tell Brother Chengzhi first? "
"Tell him what?" Mu Huaisheng looked up at her coldly. "Since Song Dafu took the case, do you think he doesn't know?"
Mu Sisi gritted her teeth. She wasn't so confident anymore. "Even if that's the case, you should call him and ask him. If we can settle it privately …"
"Ask what? If we could settle it privately, you wouldn't have received this subpoena from the court today. He would have come to me privately a long time ago. Mu Sisi, don't you know how to reflect on yourself? If you hadn't provoked Qi Chengzhi to the point where he couldn't take it anymore, why would he send a subpoena over without even letting me know? How many times have I followed behind you to clean up your mess? How many times have I settled it privately with Qi Chengzhi? Time and time again, the little friendship between us has been worn away. Now that this subpoena is in your hands, I guess he doesn't treat me as a friend anymore. Are you satisfied? "Mu Huaisheng threw the pen away and said angrily.
At this moment, the secretary knocked on the door twice, then pushed it open and said, "CEO Mu, lawyer Gu is here."
Mu Huaisheng nodded. When he saw lawyer Gu come in, Mu Sisi rushed out angrily.
Lawyer Gu looked at Mu Sisi's figure in confusion and turned back to look at Mu Huaisheng. Mu Huaisheng suppressed his anger and said in a stiff voice, "Don't worry about her. This is the subpoena and indictment from today's court. Take a look."
..
..
Mu Sisi drove her Jaguar to the city again.
She parked the car by the side of the road and was about to go in to look for Song Yu when she suddenly saw a woman in front of her about to walk in and was stopped by a man who had jumped out of nowhere.
"Why is it you again? It doesn't matter how many times you come or when you come. You won't be able to see Madam, "the bodyguard said impatiently. He couldn't even count how many times Yu Keyao came in a week.
If he had time to waste here begging Song Yu, he might as well find a job to support his family.
Now that he knew how to regret it, he should have done it earlier.
"I won't disturb Song Yu … No, it's Mrs. Qi who's been here for too long. Why don't you follow me and watch me talk to her? I promise I won't do anything out of line, nor will I hurt her. I just want to say a few words to her. No matter what, she's still my cousin. We're family. You can't not let me see her for the rest of my life, right? Song Yu doesn't have many relatives. Do you think he'll cut all ties with us? "Yu Keyao begged.
"Madam doesn't want to see you. As for whether she wants you as a relative or not, I don't care. But now my duty is to not let you disturb Madam. Even if you appear in her sight, it will make Madam unhappy. It's all my dereliction of duty. Don't pester her here. Please go back. " The bodyguard said expressionlessly. He didn't soften a little because of Yu Keyao's pitiful appearance.
Mu Sisi stopped and didn't continue to walk forward. Instead, she turned around and returned to the car.
She lowered the car window and watched Yu Keyao pester the bodyguard for a long time before Yu Keyao finally gave up. She turned around and slowly walked away, not knowing where she was going.
Mu Sisi hurriedly drove to catch up. When she came to find Song Yu that day, she didn't meet this bodyguard. Maybe it was a coincidence that the bodyguard wasn't there when she came, or maybe Song Chengzhi didn't have time to order the bodyguard to stop even her, so the bodyguard didn't recognize her.
The car drove slowly until Yu Keyao turned a corner. Mu Sisi honked a few times. Yu Keyao subconsciously stopped and looked over. Mu Sisi smiled at her in a friendly manner and got out of the car.
"Miss Yu, is it?" Mu Sisi asked.
"You know me?" Yu Keyao looked at Mu Sisi standing in front of her in surprise. She felt that this woman's temperament was really good. She didn't know which big family she came from.
"I was too presumptuous. Hello, my name is Mu Sisi." Mu Sisi said. "You know MU, right?"
"Yes." Yu Keyao nodded. It was a very famous clothing brand. Recently, they were going to open their first store in Asia in B City. The news was very big, and the response on the Internet was also very strong.
MU's clothes were good-looking and not expensive. The frequency of new clothes was also fast, and they were especially popular among young people.
Nowadays, young people went abroad and wanted to buy some beautiful clothes but couldn't bear to spend too much money. They all liked to go to MU. The style was fashionable, and they could often change their style. In the past, they all looked for overseas purchasing agents. Now that the first specialized store was going to be opened in B City, everyone was especially looking forward to it.
Yu Keyao suddenly understood. "You're that young lady from the Mu family."
Mu Sisi thought about how Yu Keyao might have found out about her identity and felt a little awkward.
"I'm sorry, I overheard your conversation with that person just now. You're Song Yu's cousin?" Mu Sisi asked. At this moment, she was especially polite, looking like a magnanimous lady from a wealthy family.
Yu Keyao sighed. Mu Sisi lowered her eyebrows and said, "Why don't we find a place to sit down and talk slowly? If you have any difficulties, I can also help you."
Seeing that Yu Keyao was a little hesitant, Mu Sisi purposely put on an expression that felt very bad for Yu Keyao. "I know that Song Yu is shrewd. He's selfish and knows how to pretend, but I didn't expect that he would even ignore his own cousin in private. This was truly a case of turning into a phoenix overnight, looking down on everyone else. Unfortunately, those people just can't see his true colors. They don't know how scary he is and how deep his schemes are. Instead, they think that we're the bad guys. "
Yu Keyao revealed a miserable expression. She felt that someone finally understood her. She regretted not meeting Mu Sisi earlier and lowered her eyes like Lin Daiyu. "Yes, Miss Mu, you didn't also fall for her tricks, did you?"
Mu Sisi laughed dryly. "Actually, I also know how you found out about me. Wasn't it because of the news from that time?"
Yu Keyao lowered her head awkwardly.
Mu Sisi said again, "You don't have to be embarrassed. That time, it was all because of Song Yu's trap."
Yu Keyao raised her head again and looked at Mu Sisi again. She was simply treating her as a confidant. "I think, we'd better find a place to sit down and talk slowly."
Mu Sisi nodded and let Yu Keyao get in the car. She didn't dare to sit in a nearby coffee shop, afraid that it would spread to Qi Chengzhi's ears, so she drove a few more streets and randomly chose a coffee shop.
After sitting down, Mu Sisi said, "Just now, from what you said to the bodyguard, it seems that you have some difficulties now and want to ask Song Yu for help?"
Yu Keyao sighed. Her eyes turned red and tears were about to fall. She quickly wiped her eyes with a tissue and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I let you laugh at me. Actually, it's just a small misunderstanding. In the past, when the Song family went bankrupt, our family didn't help them. It's not that we didn't help on purpose, but the power of the Yu family is in my uncle's hands. Our family just runs a small company and can barely maintain it. We really don't have the extra power to help the Song family. Song Yu bore a grudge. Later, Qi Chengzhi's mother introduced me to Qi Chengzhi and wanted to matchmake us. "
Mu Sisi suppressed the anger in her heart. She didn't expect there to be such a story. This Yu Keyao was really good at dreaming. How could she be worthy of Qi Chengzhi?
"But I don't know where Song Yu heard it from, but he forcibly stepped in and seduced Qi Chengzhi. I don't know what kind of drug he gave him, but my mother just wanted to fight for me, but Qi Chengzhi made our family's company go bankrupt and forced my father to divorce my mother. Now my mother is alone. The company is bankrupt, and my father has no money. After the divorce, how can he give her any property? She can only live in my uncle's house and live under his and my aunt's faces. She sold all her designer clothes, designer bags, and jewelry to barely make ends meet. Even so, my aunt still gives her face all day long and thinks of ways to cheat her of the money she got from selling her things to take advantage of her. "
"I can only worry on the side. I can't help her even if I want to. I'm going to graduate this year, and now I can't find a job anywhere. How can I help my mother? My father runs around for a company that is on the verge of bankruptcy every day, trying to save the company. He's getting older day by day, his health is getting worse, and his mental state is getting worse. I can see that he's about to break down. "
"I can't help my family's company. Now I want to at least help my mother rent a house, even if it's a small one, so she doesn't have to live under someone else's roof. It's just that … my mother is used to living comfortably and being served. I'm really worried about her living on her own. "Yu Keyao sniffled and wiped her tears.
