Song Kai was very unhappy when he heard his grandfather order him ro call off his engagement with Lu Linlin.
âWhy, Grandpa?â
âLu Linlin is a jinx!â
Song Kai laughed in frustration. What jinx? It was all superstition!
However, he couldnât tell the old master that. He said instead, âGrandpa, Iâm not afraid. Lilinâs father and I have already discussed about postponing the engagement for a year.â
Old Master Songâs face darkened as he said in an unfriendly tone, âSong Kai, donât think that 1 donât know what youâre up to. You just want to use Lu Linlin to gain a foothold in the Song Family so that youâd be valued and asked to join the family business.â
âBut let me tell you, you can get something if I want to give it to you. If I donât want to give something to you, donât even dream about getting it.â
âYour existence is a misfortune to begin with. The Song family has raised you and thatâs already more than enough. Donât think that just because I donât pay attention to you, you can do whatever you want!â1
Song Kai clenched his fists. So, his grandfather he knew that he had been neglecting him for years.
But did he know how cruel the Song family had been to him all these years?
His father fell in love with his mother. The two of them wanted to be together, but an accident happened and his father passed away. Who caused all this to happen?
it was him, Song Chong, who had caused all this!
It wasnât his existence. If Song Kai had a choice, he wouldnât want to be born into the Song Family!
âGrandpa, Iâm just as capable as Song 1 lai, and also a descendant of the Song Family. Why wonât you let me help you?â
âDonât even think about it. Youâre as ambitious as the devil. Donât think that 1 donât know your little tricks. I didnât think highly of you in the past and couldnât be bothered with you. And now you have rhe gall to ask me blatantly?â âHurry up and call off your engagement with Lu Linlin. We can talk about other things later!â
The old master was furious. His eyes turned red when he yelled ar Song Kai.
Song Kai was also angry, but he could endure it.
in the 20 years he had been in the Song family, what he was best at was making himself small and invisible so that he would not be scolded or reprimanded.
He had also been working hard, hoping to be recognized by the old master one day, but reality had given him a few harsh slaps.
All his attempts to please his grandfather were nothing but a joke to him!
Now that he had shed all pretense of cordiality, he no longer pretended and let out a sad chuckle.
âIâll call off the engagement. Donât you regret it.â
Song Kai slammed the door as he walked out. The walls shook and it showed how angry he was.
Old Master Song was so angry that Song Kai behaved so rudely toward him that he smashed his glass on the coffee table.
People at the Song residence didnât dare to speak a word. They just looked in the direction Song Kai left in shock. They were very surprised by his retort to Old Master Song.
In the Song residence, Old Master Song always had the last word. Song Kai lived worse than a servant here because Old Master Song didnât pay any attention to him. Bur he had always been calm and respectful toward the old master.
But today, he had the audacity to scold the old master and even warned him not to regret it.
âDad, calm down. Donât be too agitated. This unfilial Song Kai is inevitably angry when you ask him to call off the engagement. Young people are hot-blooded and rebellious.â
Song Haiâs father, Song Yang, persuaded.
The old man snorted coldly. âGet someone to keep an eye on him. Song Kai is not allowed to meet that woman from the Lu family in the future.â
âAlright.â
Song Yang was secretly happy. They also wanted to cozy up to the Lu Family by having Song Hai get engaged to Lu Linlin, but they didnât expect Song Kai to beat them to it.
Now that the old master had spoken, without the support of the Lu family, it was almost impossible for Song Kai to make a comeback.
Song Yang thought about how Song Kaiâs father werenât good enough to fight him for a piece of the family business back then. Now his son, Song Kai, could also forget about it!
Song Zhou soon heard about the farce in the Song family, and he told Jiang Jingchen.
Jiang Jingchen was dealing with company documents when Song Zhou reported the matter.
He was at home most days to read and take care of his wife. Song Zhou wanted to complain about this prodigal young master of his. He was simply wasting his time to work.
He couldnât stand it anymore when he saw Jiang Jingchen play with the puppies, so he brought him some business documents to, in a way, lighten Yang Haoâs workload.
Jiang Jingchen stared at the documents and flipped through a few pages. He seemed to be dozing off and didnât make a sound.
Song Zhou looked at his handsome face without the human scarred mask. He was so good-looking that even men would be mesmerized when they looked at him.
Suddenly, the man looked up at him with his dark eyes. Song Zhou quickly looked away.
âYoung Master, 1 donât think this Song Kai will give up so easily. He will probably find another way out.â
Jiang Jingchen gave a lazy acknowledgement before he said, âThese things are not cute at all. I canât get my money back in time. Sigh, itâs not easy to support my wife.â
Song Zhouâs mouth twitched. How could he get a return on investment so easily for a project worth billions of yuan? Why couldnât the young master take things more seriously?
âItâs nor a bad thing for Song Kai to have a complete fall out with them. Thereâs also no need to keep Song Hai now.â
Song Zhou replied, âYang Hao and I will discuss the next steps.â
Jiang Jingchen was feeling a little lazy. He threw the documents aside and looked out the window.
âThe sky has finally cleared up. Sunshine looks good today. Itâs not a bad day for an autumn outing.1â
âThen Iâll find something for you to do. Itâll definitely keep you busy.â Song Zhou added with a smile.
Jiang Jingchen threw him a look. âYou only think about work. No wonder you canât find a girlfriend. You deserve to be single! â
Song Zhou felt wronged. The young master was rhe one who was bored and wanted to go on an autumn outing!
But he didnât see that his wifeâs focus on her own career. She majored in medicine and had a pile of thick professional books. She aimed for high grades so she could ger a scholarship, which meant that she had to work even harder.
She also practiced dance until eleven oâclock every night and another hour or two in the morning. Did she look like someone who would go for an autumn outing?
Jiang Jingchen was annoyed and said, âWhatâs happening with Xin Wei?â
âWeâve sent her home. However, Xin Wei is related to the principal of
A-University. Iâm afraid she might retaliate.â
âKight!â Jiang Jingchen snorted with disdain.
âWhatâs happening with Wen Nan then?â
When he was bored, he had to find trouble with others, or he would feel insignificant.
âWen Nan has met with Jiang Minglang a few times. Jiang Minglang has also asked people to find out about the Wen family because he wants to help Wen Nan. Iâm worried that Wen Nan will release the news of your recovery.â
âOh,â Jiang Jingchen said. âThen letâs organize an autumn outing.11
So, he still wanted to take his wife out.
Sigh, Song Zhou didnât know how to deal with his young master who didnât want to work and only wanted to entertain his wife.
Tang Beibei suddenly sneezed twice in school and rubbed her nose.
âIt must be my husband. He is thinking about me.â
Ruan Qi glared at her. Tang Beibei covered her mouth and laughed. âYou donât know, married women are especially homesick.ââ
Ruan Qi rolled her eyes at the ceiling, speechless.
After class, the two of them were going to do their homework and were discussing the time for their dance practice when Tang Beibei suddenly said, âQiqi, your lipstick today looks nice.â
Ruan Qi laughed in amusement, âYou only noticed it now?â
âI bought a new lipstick. Here, Iâll let you try it on.â
Ruan Qi took out her lipstick and looked at its effect on Tang Beibeiâs lips. She could not help but be envious. âItâs so good to be fair. You can wear any color. It looks really good on you. Iâll buy you one too.â
âHow much? Iâll pay you back.11
Ruan Qi glared at her. âDonât talk to me about money. Arenât we best friends?â
Tang Beibei covered her mouth, indicating that sheâd shut up.
âTang Beibei, where are you guys going?â Zheng Tong suddenly ran to the library entrance and asked.
Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi both took a step back. Tang Beibei found it funny and said, âWe came to rhe library. Do you think we are lunching here?â
Zheng Tong smiled awkwardly and said, âWell, Tang Beibei, Iâm sorry. What happened last rime was a misunderstanding..â
