Yu Keyao silently placed the cheque in front of him. "I don't want this money. You're giving me this money as if I'm selling myself. I'm not, you know. My first time was given to you, but not sold to you. I came to you not because I can't distinguish between work and personal matters, but because I thought we were at least friends, right? Maybe I'm overthinking it. Even being friends with you is just me trying to climb the social ladder. You should keep this money for yourself. I don't want my first time to be tied to money. I have feelings for you, that's why I gave my first time to you. I don't want to be disappointed by a man I have feelings for. You might think I have a price, but to me, I am priceless. "
She wiped away the fresh tears and sniffled her red nose. "I don't want this memory to become so unbearable. At least leave some good memories for me. I won't quit the company. I like this job. Don't worry, I won't say anything. "
Mu Huaisheng looked down at the cheque she put back and didn't say anything.
Yu Keyao turned and walked out. Even if she took the five million, she wouldn't be able to help Dong Hua. She also thought about it. She used to pester Qi Chengzhi to no avail, so her strategy was probably wrong. She should be like Song Yu, pretending to be noble and virtuous, but being chased by men.
Wasn't it because of this that Mu Huaisheng took the initiative to care about her?
So this time, Yu Keyao didn't beg and walked out of the office.
Mu Huaisheng's lips twitched mockingly. He tore the cheque and threw it into the bin.
…
…
That night, Mu Sisi came to the bar. It was the same bar where she met Yu Keyao last time. This time, Yu Keyao was waiting for her inside.
"Keyao, why are you looking for me so urgently?" Mu Sisi sat down and found Yu Keyao's dejected face. She wasn't as radiant as she was last time.
"Sisi, your brother … wants to break up with me." Yu Keyao said with red eyes and drank a mouthful of wine in a depressed mood.
Mu Sisi looked at her coldly and sneered in her heart. Mu Huaisheng had never thought of being serious with Yu Keyao. It was just a one-night stand. Why did Yu Keyao talk about breaking up so formally? It was as if they had dated before.
"Why? Wasn't it fine last time? "Mu Sisi asked in confusion, stopping Yu Keyao from drinking again.
"I don't know how he found out that I went to my aunt and uncle and told them the truth about the Song family's bankruptcy. I think it might be because this matter was exposed, and my aunt and uncle must hate Qi Chengzhi to the core, which caused his marriage with Song Yu to go wrong, so he went to your brother to complain. Your brother wants to break up with me. " Yu Keyao wiped away her tears. "Sisi, you have to help me. I really like your brother, and I know he likes me too. I can't let our relationship end just like that just because of this. I still want to redeem myself. "
"This …" Mu Sisi awkwardly released her hand, "How can I help you? This is a matter between the two of you. Other people can't interfere with your relationship. Even if I tell my brother not to break up with you, he won't listen. "
"Sisi, didn't you say that you would help me? You said that I am your sister-in-law, and even if they introduce someone else to your brother in the future, you will support me. "Yu Keyao grabbed Mu Sisi's hand tightly." You said that you want me to be your sister-in-law. "
"Yes, I said that. But if your relationship is gone, I can't force my brother to be with you, can I? What I meant before was that I really want you to be my sister-in-law, but if it can't be done, I can't force you. " Mu Sisi said, trying to pull her hand out of Yu Keyao's hand, but Yu Keyao held it tightly.
"But you clearly said that you would definitely help me." Yu Keyao increased the strength of her hand.
"Keyao, what I mean is, even if my brother finds someone else, you are still the ideal sister-in-law in my heart. I can only express my personal support and love for you, but I can't ask my brother to do anything. My brother is a person with his own mind, he's not my puppet, he will listen to whatever I say, do you understand? "Mu Sisi suppressed the impatience in her heart, and continued to slowly" reason "with her.
"I don't understand! You clearly said that day that you will definitely let me marry into the Mu family, how can you go back on your words? " Yu Keyao suddenly raised her voice, even covering the soft music in the bar, causing others to look over.
"Yu Keyao, is there something wrong with your brain!" Mu Sisi stood up, her attitude and tone changed, and she forcefully shook off her hand. "When did I promise that you will marry into the Mu family? You want to marry into a rich family, you're crazy! I just expressed my support for you to be with my brother, it doesn't mean that I have to take responsibility for you marrying into the Mu family. You're not liked by my brother, what can I do? Do you want me to hold a knife to my brother's neck and force him to marry you? You're such an unreasonable person, can't you listen to what people say, don't take it for granted! The Mu family doesn't belong to me alone, do you think my brother can marry whoever I want him to? Stop joking. "
"But you clearly said that you would definitely help me. With your current attitude, are you trying to distance yourself from me and not care about me?" Yu Keyao also stood up and grabbed Mu Sisi's arm across the table to prevent her from leaving.
"How can I help you? How do you want me to help? You want me to call my brother and ask him to marry you? Can't you be a bit more reasonable? " Mu Sisi simply took out her phone. "Okay, I'll call my brother now, and say that you're pestering me here, forcing me to force him to marry you, okay?"
"Mu Sisi, you're so cruel and unscrupulous!" Yu Keyao was really afraid that if Mu Sisi told Mu Huaisheng, she would really have no chance at all.
Yu Keyao hurriedly pressed down Mu Sisi's hand, not letting her call Mu Huaisheng, and her other hand was still tightly holding Mu Sisi's wrist. "Don't forget, why I broke up with your brother! It was because I wanted to help you that I personally went to find my uncle and aunt. If not for that, your brother would not have broken up with me. "
"Yu Keyao, you're too funny." Mu Sisi was still trying hard to shake off Yu Keyao's hand. She did not expect that Yu Keyao, who looked so gentle and weak, was so strong that she could not break free, and her wrist was hurting from her grip. "What does it have to do with me that you went to find Song Yu's parents? Did I force you to go look for them? "
"You're the one who clearly begged me!" Yu Keyao raised her voice. Mu Sisi's attitude of turning her back on her, and refusing to admit to what she had done really infuriated her.
She felt so wronged. Why did she have to meet an ingrate like Mu Sisi, who repaid kindness with enmity?
She helped Mu Sisi, but Mu Sisi actually refused to admit it, and looked like she wanted to cut ties with her.
"How did I beg you? I asked you to help, but I didn't force you to go. If you're not willing, you can reject me! " Mu Sisi sneered. "You're the one acting like you're already my sister-in-law. You want to stand up for me and help me. Do you think I would stop you? Don't think I don't know that you just want to please me, rope me in, and try to marry into the Mu family. To put it bluntly, you just want to use me. We're mutually beneficial, so don't mention anything about helping me. Since you want me to help you marry into the Mu family in the future, and want to sell me a favour, don't pretend to be a good person in front of me, and even look like you're being wronged. Unfortunately, I don't want to be used by you, so what? "
"You …" Yu Keyao was so angry that she was trembling. How could there be such an ingrate? If it wasn't for Mu Sisi, would she have gotten involved in this mess? She had long given up on Qi Chengzhi, and did not care about the matter between Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu. She had helped Mu Sisi so much, but in the end, Mu Sisi turned her back on her.
Yu Keyao also understood that Mu Sisi had been using her from the beginning, and had never thought of opening up to her. She shouted in exasperation: "Mu Sisi, you're an ingrate! I've always treated you with sincerity, but you actually schemed against me like this! "
"What are you shouting about! With just you, do you really think you can be my friend? What kind of status do you have! Your family is about to go bankrupt, and you're just an empty shell, and you still want to marry into the Mu family? If my brother were to marry, he would also marry a young lady from an aristocratic family. Not to mention that your family is about to go bankrupt, even if it was at its peak, what does it count for? It's just a middle class family, a daughter from a small family, don't even think about getting close to them! " Taking advantage of the fact that Yu Keyao was trembling with anger, and could not use much strength, Mu Sisi finally pulled Yu Keyao's hand away.
She rubbed her wrist and said: "I've already done my best for you. Before, we didn't know each other, but I introduced you to a job and helped you. This time, you've returned the favor. Don't worry, I won't force you to resign from this job. But in the future, we don't owe each other anything, so don't come looking for me. "
"I don't owe you anything in the first place." Yu Keyao said hatefully.
Mu Sisi sneered disdainfully, then left Yu Keyao behind.
Yu Keyao sat back down, filled the glass with wine, and held the glass tightly. The pink nail polish on her nails did not change, but her knuckles had already turned white, and the tendons and blood vessels on the back of her hand were clearly protruding.
She had treated Mu Sisi so sincerely, but when something happened to her, she was kicked away. She was really biting the hand that fed her!
…
…
After the Old Madam came back from the Song family that day, she told Song Yu. From the Old Madam's point of view, Yu Qianying's attitude had softened, at least towards Song Yu.
So Song Yu decided to go home on Saturday. She originally wanted to go alone, but Qi Chengzhi insisted on going.
"I can't just not go. Sooner or later, I have to find a way to get your parents' forgiveness." Qi Chengzhi said.
Song Yu drank a mouthful of milk and put down the glass. "I'm just afraid that they won't treat you well, just like that day, you —"
Qi Chengzhi did not speak, but just held Song Yu's hand and squeezed it. His deep black eyes were soft and firm.
In the end, Song Yu still let Qi Chengzhi go with her.
…
…
Qi Chengzhi parked the Range Rover downstairs and went upstairs with Song Yu. He insisted on coming. On the one hand, he wanted to get Song Donglin and Yu Qianying's forgiveness and let them see his sincerity. On the other hand, he was also afraid that Yu Qianying still had not forgiven Song Yu. She might provoke Song Yu like that day and cause an accident. So he followed her, just in case.
The two of them came to the door. Song Yu knocked on the door and heard someone shouting inside, "Who is it?"
"Mom, it's me." Song Yu also raised his voice.
After a few seconds, the door opened. Yu Qianying's calm face immediately turned cold after seeing Qi Chengzhi. "Why is he here?"
Qi Chengzhi's face was especially tense, as if it was the first time he was visiting a parent. Song Yu, who was standing beside him, could feel his cautiousness.
Qi Chengzhi's voice was mellow. "Mom —"
"Don't call me that. I don't deserve it." Yu Qianying interrupted him coldly. "Song Yu, you can come. After all, you are still our daughter. I can't really cut ties with you. What Old Madam Qi said makes sense. You didn't suffer any less than we did. In fact, you suffered even more than we did. You chose to forgive him. We have no right to interfere or object. But we won't forgive him. I welcome you back to this family, but you're the only one who's here. He — "
Yu Qianying glanced at Qi Chengzhi. Her expression was even colder. "I don't want to see him. In the future, you can come by yourself and don't bring him. If you want to come in now, you can come in alone. Otherwise, you can go back with him. "
Song Yu opened his mouth and swallowed his words. He lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Then I —"
Qi Chengzhi suddenly squeezed his hand. He heard his mellow and steady voice. "You can go in."
Song Yu suddenly looked up at Qi Chengzhi. He saw the corner of his mouth curl up slightly. "When are you leaving? I'll come to pick you up."
Song Yu looked at Yu Qianying carefully and pulled Qi Chengzhi to a corner. "Then you can go home and rest. I'll call Chang Lai and ask him to pick you up. Don't come over."
Qi Chengzhi didn't say anything. Just like every time he didn't intend to do as she said, he just looked at her quietly. His eyes were gentle but firm.
Song Yu wasn't sure if he would listen, so she added, "Promise me."
Qi Chengzhi looked at her silently for a long time before he said, "Okay."
Only then did Song Yu feel relieved. He held his hand and whispered, "Be careful on the road. Give me a call when you get home, or send me a text message."
"Okay." Qi Chengzhi glanced at Yu Qianying. She didn't look well, so he urged, "Go in."
Song Yu couldn't bear to see him being turned away at the door, so she hesitated and didn't move.
Qi Chengzhi whispered, "Go quickly. Your parents are finally willing to forgive you. Don't fall out with them because of me. I was wrong, so I don't feel wronged now. "
Song Yu nodded and looked up at his handsome and calm face. As long as he was facing her, his facial features were always particularly soft. Song Yu really wanted to give him a Goodbye Kiss, but now in front of Yu Qianying, she didn't want to make Yu Qianying even angrier.
She could only look down at his elegant hand. She gently squeezed his palm and said again, "Be careful on the road."
Qi Chengzhi watched Song Yu enter the door. Song Yu watched helplessly as Qi Chengzhi was turned away at the door.
"If you feel so bad, go with him," Yu Qianying said coldly.
"Mom, what does he have to do to make you forgive him?" Song Yu asked.
Yu Qianying didn't answer and went into the kitchen.
Song Donglin walked over silently, patted Song Yu on the shoulder, and took her to the living room. "Don't worry. Give her some time."
"Dad, you —" Song Yu saw that Song Donglin didn't seem to be particularly angry.
Although Song Donglin had always been the mediator when she and Yu Qianying quarreled, Song Donglin should be the one who suffered the most when the Song family went bankrupt.
But looking at him, he seemed to have accepted it.
"I'm fine. Things are already like this, and there's nothing I can do about it. Besides, you've suffered much more than we have. If you don't blame me, I don't think I need to blame you. In the past few years of resting at home, I also let go of the bankruptcy. When I first heard about it that day, I was indeed very angry, but after calming down, it's fine. " Song Donglin shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Maybe it's because your mom was so angry that she even gave birth to my share, so I'm not angry anymore."
"Dad." Song Yu called out with red eyes. At this time, she really needed someone to support her.
Song Donglin smiled and patted Song Yu on the shoulder. "Your mom has always been a short-tempered person, and she clearly distinguishes between hate and hate. After a long time, when she sees that Qi Chengzhi really loves you and treats you well, she will slowly get better. "
Song Yu nodded. She saw Yu Qianying coming out of the kitchen and walking into the living room. Her expression and tone were a little stiff. "Since you're here, stay here for dinner."
Song Yu nodded. Yu Qianying asked in a stiff tone, "Are you feeling better?"
"I'm resting at home. I'm already much better. Chengzhi asked for two months' leave for me to rest at home, "Song Yu said quickly.
Hearing Qi Chengzhi's name, Yu Qianying curled her lips unhappily and went back to the kitchen.
Song Yu estimated the time, but she didn't see Qi Chengzhi call or text her. Suddenly, she thought of something and immediately walked to the balcony to look down. She found that the black Range Rover was still parked downstairs.
She was afraid that he would agree to her on the surface, but still stubbornly wait for her here.
It was just like the first time he came here to see her parents. They had already left, but he waited for her in the car and insisted on going back with her.
Song Yu called Qi Chengzhi as she entered the house. Yu Qianying just came in with the dishes she had just cooked. Seeing Song Yu's reaction, she said coldly, "Since you can't let go, go back."
"Mom, I'm afraid that he's still waiting for me here," Song Yu explained.
"What does he mean by that? He's staying outside and pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy? He knows that if he doesn't leave, you won't feel at ease staying here, so he's urging you to leave quickly, right? " Yu Qianying said unhappily. She really didn't like Qi Chengzhi now. "Or does he think that I'll let him in if he stays like this?"
"Mom, it's not like that. I almost had a miscarriage that day, so he's been very nervous. These few days, when I was at work, he rejected all the social engagements and rushed back to accompany me as soon as he got off work. When I was at work, he called me several times a day to ask about my health. That really scared him. I've never seen his eyes so red, as if he was about to cry. He's just afraid that if something bad happens, the two of you alone might not be able to help me immediately if he's not here, "Song Yu explained.
Yu Qianying snorted and went back to the kitchen to bring out the dishes. Seeing that Yu Qianying had made so many dishes, Song Yu knew that it must be because of her, so she couldn't just leave without eating.
Yu Qianying sat down directly and said, "Time to eat."
Song Yu held her phone and was in a dilemma. When Song Dong walked over, she gave Song Yu a look, hinting for her to sit down and eat first. If she missed this opportunity, she was afraid that Yu Qianying would be even angrier.
Song Yu had no choice but to sit down. While eating, she was still thinking about Qi Chengzhi. She didn't know if he would go out to buy something. Otherwise, how could she wait with an empty stomach?
