Chapter 476 - She didn’t want to be a canary

“You’re more afraid of making mistakes than I am.” Yun Xiangxiang smiled. “The person you trust the most is me, and the person you’re most afraid of is also me. The person you don’t want to offend the most is still me.”

She trusted her because she had saved Zhao Guibi. The original intention of saving her didn’t have any intention of extorting favors in return.

She was afraid because Zhao Guibi knew that there was someone behind her. Zhao Guibi didn’t dare to offend this person.

She didn’t want to because Zhao Guibi wanted to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with her. Of course, she wouldn’t let her down.

“Zhao Guiquan, how stupid are you to provoke her?” Zhao Guibi couldn’t help but feel anxious for Zhao Guiquan.

“Men and women sometimes think differently. It’s not because they’re not smart enough.” Actually, Yun Xiangxiang didn’t think that Zhao Guiquan was that stupid.

He had been rejected many times, but she didn’t fall out with Zhao Guiquan directly. Instead, he took this opportunity to make a show of himself.

This meant that he had weighed all the pros and cons. The mall belonged to his family, and he had made an offer. Whether or not he wanted it was up to the production team.

Based on his standpoint, the production team could give up if they couldn’t take the threat, and he wasn’t selling it by force. The production team was willing to add five million, so he could earn some pocket money.

The reason why he did this was because he knew a lot of twists and turns, and he also knew that this wasn’t a matter of five million.

This could prove that Zhao Guiquan had a business mind and a sense of the big picture.

“I’ve been used to being a country bumpkin since I was young. The more danger I can’t touch, the more I’m tempted. Moreover, Zhao Guiquan also inherited your father’s lecherous personality.”

Yun Xiangxiang recalled that he had investigated Zhao Guiquan. Even when his mother was a mistress, he was still a lavish young master.

Later on, after his mother was promoted, Zhao Guiquan, the rightful young master, had never left the Zhao family except when he was studying.

He was used to being fawned on by others and had never kicked an iron plate. He was a little complacent.

“You’re right. He’s not stupid. He’s just living too smoothly,” Zhao Guibi agreed.

“I’m not going to talk to you anymore. I have something to do.” It was almost time for the appointment with Song Mian. Yun Xiangxiang hung up on Zhao Guibi.

After chatting with Song Mian for a while, Song Mian said. “I’m leaving today. I have to go to a lot of places in the next month, and the time is not fixed. I’ll send you my schedule every day. Call me when you see me.”

“Okay, I promise I’ll call you every day.” Yun Xiangxiang tried to hold back her laughter.

Song Mian did this because he was worried that he would not be able to receive a call after the two of them did not have a fixed schedule. Yun Xiangxiang was afraid of disturbing him and ignored him.

“If I don’t see my girlfriend every day, I won’t be able to eat or sleep well.” Song Mian emphasized the importance of chatting with her every day.

He was like a child and was so stubborn in this aspect. Yun Xiangxiang felt warm in her heart. It was probably because he cared about her to a certain extent that he could be so calculative.

The atmosphere between the two of them was exceptionally good. After chatting for half an hour, just as they were about to say goodbye, Song Mian suddenly asked. “Doesn’t my girlfriend have anything she wants to tell me?”

Yun Xiangxiang raised her eyebrows. “I think I share interesting things with you every day.”

She was not sure if Song Mian was referring to Zhao Guiquan, but she believed that Song Qian would not tell Song Mian after she explicitly reminded her.

She also believed that Song Mian would never send people to monitor her every move. He was not just saying that he would give her freedom in the sky.

“I hear interesting things from you every day. It makes me worry that you only report good news and not bad news.” Song Mian seemed to be testing her.

“That’s because of your existence. It makes me carefree every day.” Yun Xiangxiang answered very naturally.

Song Mian’s purplish-black eyes were filled with a smile. “This is what I should do. If there are any shortcomings, I look forward to correcting them.”

“Don’t worry. If you have anything that displeases me, I will definitely be picky.” Yun Xiangxiang nodded.

Song Mian did not ask any more questions. Instead, she smiled and hung up the phone with her. Once the video was cut off, Song Yao, who was standing opposite Song Mian, felt a little depressed. It made it difficult for him to breathe.

“Young master, why didn’t you just ask....” Song Yao did not understand. The young madam was obviously lying.

The one who was the most miserable was the young madam, but he was the one who was trembling in fear. He didn’t do anything, so why should he feel guilty?

Song Mian didn’t send anyone to monitor Yun Xiangxiang, and Song Qian wasn’t the one who reported the matter. In fact, because of Zhao Guibi, Yun Xiangxiang thought about sending Song Qian to investigate the Zhao family.

Even though he had passed through some people who couldn’t avoid Song Mian’s eyes and ears, Song Mian didn’t suspect anything.

However, something happened today. Song Mian had managed to guess something by chance. Since it was related to Yun Xiangxiang, he would definitely investigate it. He would soon know everything.

Even if Yun Xiangxiang about the conversation between Zhao Guibi and he did not know a single word, he could guess what Zhao Guibi did after that.

“What do you want to know?” Song Mian lowered her head and browsed through the documents in front of her.

“I think young madam and you are quite estranged from each other....”

Song Yao swore that he was not trying to sow discord. He simply did not want the two of them to not expose the truth even though they knew that the other party was hiding something. If they had a conflict over a long period of time, he would be the one who would be implicated in the end.

He silently wiped away his tears of sympathy and said. “I think you and young madam should have a frank and open discussion.”

“Distant?” Song Mian mulled over these two words. “Let me ask you, who did she use to investigate the Zhao Family?”

“Song Qian.” Was there a need to ask?

Song Mian looked up at Song Yao, who had yet to react, and said coldly. “You can leave now.”

“Ah?” Song Yao met his young master’s cold gaze and immediately shut his mouth and left.

He could not understand what he did wrong. Although Yun Xiangxiang had used Song Qian, she had also warned Song Qian not to tell on him.

It was obvious that she did not want Song Mian to interfere in her matters. Song Mian could have easily solved it, but Yun Xiangxiang said that she had to do it herself. If she did not have a clear relationship with Song Mian, what else could it be?

At least, that was what Song Yao thought.

When Song Mian was the only one left in the room, he tapped on his phone. The screensaver was Yun Xiangxiang’s bright and beautiful smile.

She was holding his arm and leaning on his shoulder, relying on him wholeheartedly.

How could she be distant from him?

She was just trying her best to be on par with him, trying her best to be a qualified young madam of the song family.

Although these things were not important to him and his father, even if she did not work hard, as long as he liked her, nothing was important.

But to her, it was very important. She had openly used the Song family to tell him that she had no intention of drawing a line between them.

She simply didn’t want to be a canary. She could accept that he would shelter her from the wind and rain, but she couldn’t accept that she wouldn’t be able to withstand the wind and rain without him.
