Beijing Marriage Entanglement

From as far back as he can remember, Song Qinghui only had his mother by his side.

His mother always told him that.

"Ah Hui, the Song family members are no good people. You can't trust anyone except your mother."

"No one in the whole world loves you the most, except your mother. Anyone else might betray you, but your mother will never."

"Don't worry, Ah Hui, with your mother here, I'll make sure you secure your position as the heir to the Song family."

Because his father died in a car accident while having an affair, his mother raised him alone, acting as both father and mother.

Song Qinghui always remembered her mother's hardships.

So he was sensible from a young age and vowed to be his mother's support.

Upon hearing Lu Xingci's words, Song Qinghui's face was filled with anger.

"Xingci, if you have a grudge against me, you can take it out on me! What did my mother do wrong to deserve this slander from you!"

Lu Xingci felt suffocated as his chest was stuffed with a water-soaked sponge.

"Song Qinghui, am I slandering her now? Can't you tell from what I just said..."

Before Lu Xingci could finish speaking, Song Qinghui interrupted him.

"You always say your parents don't like you, and you've never felt your parents' love."

What parent in the world doesn't love their child?

Sometimes you should reflect more on yourself and look for the reasons within yourself.

Upon hearing Song Qinghui's words, Lu Xingci's desire to defend himself vanished completely.

As they celebrated the New Year together, she reflected on her family background, which favored sons over daughters.

She saw him as her safe haven, her lifelong support, which is why she revealed her childhood scars to him.

He held her in his arms and told her that from now on he would be her home and her whole world.

But now, in order to protect his mother, he is willing to reopen old wounds and precisely stab the knife into her heart.

Only those who have truly loved someone know how to hurt someone in the most painful and fatal way.

At this moment, Lu Xingci deeply understood this point.

She watched as Song Qinghui's eyes reddened, and tears silently streamed down his face; she felt only disappointment in him.

Song Qinghui was always a gentleman, self-disciplined and respectful of etiquette.

I said those words in a fit of anger, and now that I've calmed down, I regret it a little.

He sighed, opened the car door, stood in front of Lu Xingci, and deliberately softened his tone.

"Alright, we'll talk about this later."

I've arranged to have lunch with Mr. Chen from Jiuli Trading. He really admires you. You'll come with me later.

Song Qinghui's face was gloomy, clearly indicating that he was suppressing his anger when he spoke about this matter.

The purpose was simply that she didn't want to break ties with Lu Xingci for the time being.

He reached out, wanting to wipe away the tears on Lu Xingci's cheeks.

Before his fingertips could even touch her, Lu Xingci stepped back and gave a bitter smile.

"Mr. Song, I've resigned. You'd better find someone else to accompany you."

Having said that, he ignored Song Qinghui's expression and turned to walk in the opposite direction.

If he hadn't said those things, and it was just a meal with him, Lu Xingci wouldn't have been so petty.

But what comes out of one's mouth is often the true thought.

Lu Xingci felt a chill in his heart and didn't want to spend even a second longer with Song Qinghui.

She lifted her foot to leave, but Song Qinghui grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

"How long are you going to keep making a scene!"

What's wrong with you? You weren't like this before.

Lu Xingci used to be obedient and sensible, always doing what she wanted.

Even if they feel wronged occasionally, they can make up with each other after a little coaxing.

How did you become so immature?

Lu Xingci slapped his hand away.

"Don't touch me!"

Song Qinghui was stunned by the disgust in her eyes.

By the time he realized what was happening, Lu Xingci was already far away.

Song Qinghui took a deep breath, got back into the car, and drove to catch up.

He drove slowly along the side of the road, rolled down the window, and asked her from inside the car.

"I'm asking you one last time, are you coming up or not?"

"Mr. Song, I've made myself very clear."

She called him President Song again, in such a distant and disgusted tone.

When they were hiding their relationship, every time she called him President Song, it was charming, lively, and even full of love and sweetness.

Song Qinghui was truly fed up with her behavior.

His hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles protruding, and the veins standing out through his skin.

"Lu Xingci, there has to be a limit to what you can do, and my patience is also limited."

Don't think the company can't function without you.

He stopped trying to coax her and sped away.

Lu Xingci paused, watching the car disappear into the distance, and let out a cold laugh.

buzzing.

My phone vibrated in my bag; it was my friend Jiang Wenzhao calling.

She wiped away her tears, took a few deep breaths, and composed herself before answering the phone.

"Hey, Wen Zhao, what's wrong?"

Jiang Wenzhao did not notice anything unusual in her voice and said happily.

"Didn't we talk about going into partnership before? How about it, are you free at noon today?"

"Shall we have a meal together and then discuss the specifics?"

Lu Xingci nodded.

"Okay, send me the location."

"Okay, then see you at the restaurant."

See you at the restaurant.

Lu Xingci hailed a taxi on the roadside.

When she arrived at the restaurant, Jiang Wenzhao was already there.

He sat by the window and waved to her through the restaurant window.

Lu Xingci raised her hand and greeted him with a smile, and the next second she saw Song Qinghui and Chen Zheng in the restaurant.

Chen Zheng noticed her too, and nodded slightly as a greeting.

Lu Xingci nodded in return.

Noticing her movement, Jiang Wenzhao turned around in surprise.

Their gazes met Song Qinghui's in the air.

Jiang Wenzhao nodded slightly, about to greet Song Qinghui.

Song Qinghui looked away first.

His posture was arrogant and disdainful.

Jiang Wenzhao smiled with relief.

In his mind, he was the competitor who was about to rise to power, while Song Qinghui was the loser who was kicked out.

There's no need to argue with him about these things.

Lu Xingci did not flee in panic just because Song Qinghui was there.

Instead, he pushed open the door and walked in confidently.

Ignoring Song Qinghui's expression, she walked straight to Chen Zheng, smiling as she extended her hand.

"Mr. Chen, what a coincidence, you also like coconut chicken?"

Chen Zheng smiled, stood up, shook hands with her, and exchanged pleasantries.

"Yes, this coconut chicken restaurant is very famous. Mr. Song specially brought me here to try it."

As Chen Zheng spoke, he looked at Jiang Wenzhao by the window.

"Would Miss Lu's friend mind sharing a table?"

"I didn't have a very enjoyable chat with Ms. Lu earlier, I wonder if today would be a convenient time for us."

Lu Xingci's eyebrows curved into crescents, a sly glint in his eyes.

"If it's convenient for Mr. Song, it's convenient for me and my friend."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zheng looked at Song Qinghui.

"Mr. Song, is this alright?"

One second Song Qinghui looked angry, but the next second, when he met Chen Zheng's gaze, he smiled and said generously.

"certainly."

The four of them sat together at a shared table.

Lu Xingci and Jiang Wenzhao sat on one side, opposite Chen Zheng and Song Qinghui.

The atmosphere was a bit strange, especially since she had just broken up with Song Qinghui and they had just had a fight.

However, she wanted to bring Jiuli Trading, a powerful business partner, to Jiang Wenzhao right in front of Song Qinghui.

Yesterday, because Shen Yu had a fever, the design draft was not completed.

Consider this collaboration a token of her sincerity.

"Mr. Jiang and I are planning to partner up to create a new clothing brand."

I wonder if I will have the honor of joining Jiuli Trading.

Upon hearing Lu Xingci's words, both Jiang Wenzhao and Song Qinghui were stunned.

They all turned to look at Lu Xingci.
