Shao Tianze got the message that Song Yunxuan would return on the night when Song Yunxuan’s plane ticket was booked.
Seeing that Shao Tianze frowned when sitting on her bedside, Gu Changle felt strange, asking, “What’s wrong?”
“Song Yunxuan will return.”
Hearing that, Gu Changle felt strange, “Now?”
“Yes.” Shao Tianze didn’t know what Song Yunxuan wanted to do.
Shouldn’t Song Yunxuan stay in the WS and pretend to be sad in front of Mr. and Mr. Chu? Why did she return recklessly?
Gu Changle asked Shao Tianze, “If Song Yunxuan returns from the WS now, won’t Mr. and Mr. Chu be critical of her?”
“They will. I don’t understand why she chose to return at this time.”
Gu Changle knitted her brows, saying, “She doesn’t love Chu Mochen at all, right? If she has feelings for Chu Mochen, she won’t return from the WS until she knows his whereabouts. At least she will wait until everything is settled.”
“Yeah. Maybe she just took advantage of Chu Mochen from the beginning.”
Hearing Shao Tianze’s words, Gu Changle also became somewhat disgusted with Song Yunxuan, cursing, “What a scheming b*tch!”
Shao Tianze didn’t reply to that. Instead, he just turned his head to Gu Changle, saying, “It’s late. Go to sleep early.”
Gu Changle still didn’t feel like sleeping. She asked Shao Tianze, “So can we get rid of her anyway?”
Hearing Gu Changle’s question, Shao Tianze answered, “No.”
Shao Tianze could never get another chance to take Song Yunxuan out.
Besides, Song Yunxuan had probably found out who the killers were. When he investigated the suspect who intimidated Gu Changle, all the evidence pointed to the killers he hired before.
It was inconvenient for Shao Tianze to tell Gu Changle everything about the killers. Thus he could only fob her off by telling her that there were no clues yet.
“Even though Song Yunxuan returns to Yuncheng from the WS, she may not be able to beat me down as Chu Mochen can no longer protect her. Go to sleep. Forget about these.”
After being comforted by Shao Tianze, Gu Changle lay down on the bed.
Shao Tianze tucked Gu Changle in and smiled when seeing that she was also looking at him.
…
The media of Yuncheng gave massive coverage to the news that Song Yunxuan returned from the WS.
Besides, some media mischievously satirized Song Yunxuan’s heartlessness towards Chu Mochen.
Mr. and Mr. Chu didn’t fly into a rage when knowing that Song Yunxuan returned to Yuncheng from the WS. Instead, Chu Mochen’s mother called Song Yunxuan to ask about her future plans.
Song Yunxuan pondered for a moment and then replied, “If I remain unmarried for the rest of my life, can you accept that I attend upon you until you’re old and grey?”
Chu Mochen’s mother was a bit surprised at the other end of the line.
She pondered for a while and then replied, “Yunxuan, now you are in the bloom of youth.”
“I’m willing to love Mochen for the rest of my life.”
Chu Mochen’s mother went silent. It seemed that she was considering if Song Yunxuan’s words were true.
As Chu Mochen’s mother remained silent, Song Yunxuan continued, “You can turn it over in your mind. Meanwhile, I’ll treat you the same as before. It’s just that the current situation doesn’t allow me to stand still.”
Chu Mochen’s mother understood what Song Yunxuan meant.
Now Song Yunxuan had entered and hosted the Shao enterprise, and her battle against Shao Tianze had reached a crucial juncture.
Chu Mochen’s death was surely a big blow to Song Yunxuan. If Song Yunxuan stood still now, all her efforts would be in vain.
Though Song Yunxuan was still young, she was shrewd.
She was also shrewd enough to see through Chu Mochen’s death.
Chu Mochen’s mother didn’t know what to say, so she just said OK and hung up the phone.
After Chu Mochen’s mother hung up, Chu Mochen’s father asked her, “How did she explain her departure?”
“Yunxuan is not an ordinary girl. She is ambitious.” Chu Mochen’s mother simply said.
Hearing that, Chu Mochen’s father narrowed his eyes, replying, “A young girl being ambitious. For what?”
“Maybe that is why Mochen took a fancy to her.”
Chu Mochen’s mother was still being partial to Song Yunxuan.
Hearing his wife’s words, Chu Mochen’s father didn’t say anything else.
…
The media of Yuncheng had been paying close attention to Song Yunxuan’s return.
Maybe it was because everyone thought the Song Family would collapse. Or perhaps it was because they thought no one backed Song Yunxuan up as Chu Mochen had died.
The media followed Song Yunxuan closely from the time she showed up at the airport.
They followed Song Yunxuan all the way from the airport to the Song enterprise.
Even the gate of the Song enterprise was surrounded by newspaper and TV reporters, which appeared as if there had been a Movie Awards.
Looking at the group of people gathering at the gate of the Song enterprise, Mei Qi asked Song Yunxuan, “Shall we enter by the back door, Manager Song?”
Song Yunxuan looked at the journalists who prepared to mob her at the gate and replied indifferently, “No. Not necessary.”
Then Mei Qi phoned some bodyguards in the Song enterprise and let them come to clear a path for Song Yunxuan.
As soon as Song Yunxuan got off, there came continuous flashes of spotlights and clicks of shutters.
Some journalists even surged out of the crowd and put their microphones close to Song Yunxuan’s mouth, asking, “Miss Song, your fiancé Mr. Chu went missing after his flight vanished. How do you feel now?”
“Miss Song, Miss Song! Could you tell us whether Chu Mochen’s alive or dead?”
“Miss Song, may I know why you hurried back to Yuncheng instead of waiting in New Yerk?”
“Miss Song?”
“Miss Song, please answer our questions.”
“Miss Song!”
Song Yunxuan was escorted by the bodyguards through the crowds.
Meanwhile, the journalists behind Song Yunxuan followed her all the way.
Song Yunxuan remained expressionless all the way.
Seeing that Song Yunxuan wasn’t going to reply to any of them, some of the journalists began to ask some sharp questions, “Miss Song, you hurried back to Yuncheng before knowing Mr. Chu’s whereabouts. Does it mean that you don’t care whether Mr. Chu survived or not?”
Hearing that someone asked the questions they wanted to ask, some other journalists couldn’t help throwing their questions.
“Miss Song, you had always appeared in public as Mr. Chu’s fianceé. Now Mr. Chu has been missing. Why aren’t you sad at all?”
“Miss Song, were you just playing with Mr. Chu?”
“Miss Song, did you just value Mr. Chu’s wealth and connections?”
Sensing that the journalists’ questions were becoming more and more offensive, Song Yunxuan knitted her brows.
Mei Qi, who was walking beside her, winked at the bodyguards who were escorting them.
Then some bodyguards pulled the journalists who asked those questions out of the crowds.
Seeing that, the other journalists began to choose their words with care when asking Song Yunxuan questions.
It was just that no journalists could get close to Song Yunxuan no matter how hard they tried because the bodyguards were protecting her.
No one could squeeze through the crowds to get close to Song Yunxuan smoothly, let alone make Song Yunxuan reply to their questions.
Seeing that Song Yunxuan took the lift and disappeared after got into the Song enterprise, the journalists gradually calmed down.
After getting into the lift, Mei Qi, who was following Song Yunxuan, said, “Your return to Yuncheng this time created a great sensation.”
Song Yunxuan didn’t deny it. She just replied while looking at the smooth wall of the lift, “Yeah, sure. A lot of people welcomed me back.”
“I’m afraid that the media will be paying great attention to you for a long time.”
Song Yunxuan lowered her eyes, replying, “Get Xiao Hong here later. She is good at handling the media.”
Mei Qi nodded.
After Song Yunxuan entered the office, Mei Qi asked Xiao Hong to enter Song Yunxuan’s office.
Seeing Song Yunxuan, Xiao Hong immediately greeted, “Manager Song.”
“How is the company while I’m away?”
“Everything went well. It’s just that something went on in the Gu’s.”
With this, Xiao Hong handed the material in her hands to Song Yunxuan.
After taking it, Song Yunxuan skimmed it and said blandly, “Nothing serious. Leave it alone. But you need to handle the thing that I was surrounded by the media today.”
Hearing Song Yunxuan’s words, Xiao Hong understood what she meant, replying, “Don’t worry, Manager Song. I’ll deal with it.”
“Okay.”
Xiao Hong was Song Yunxuan’s primary assistant.
Though Xiao Hong couldn’t compare with Mei Qi, she was one of the persons that Song Yunxuan valued.
It was easy for Xiao Hong to handle such things.
After Xiao Hong left, Song Yunxuan heard her phone ringing before she could finish reading the materials and contracts set in front of her.
Song Yunxuan raised her hand and answered the phone.
Then there came Song Yunying’s voice.
“Yunxuan, how could you return at this critical moment?”
Sensing Song Yunying’s anxiety, Song Yunxuan felt a bit surprised.
Because Song Yunying had never spoken in an anxious tone for a long time unless something happened to herself.
Hearing her anxious voice, Song Yunxuan asked, “Can’t I return now?”
“Mr. and Mrs. Chu must have felt bitterly disappointed the moment you left.”
Song Yunying had her own considerations.
The Chu Family was the one that backed Song Yunxuan up. Now something had happened to Chu Mochen, so how could the Chu Family continue helping Song Yunxuan if Song Yunxuan disappointed Mr. and Mrs. Chu?
If the Chu Family no longer protected Song Yunxuan, Song Yunying’s status in the Xue Family would also be threatened and shaken.
The reason why Xue Tao dared not lay a finger on Song Yunying now was that Song Yunxuan protected her.
If Song Yunxuan was not able to suppress the Xue Family in the future, who knew what Xue Tao would do to her?
Song Yunxuan knew why Song Yunying made this call.
Song Yunxuan replied, “You think the Chu Family will not protect the Song Family if I disappointed Mr. and Mrs. Chu, right?”
Hearing that Song Yunxuan saw through her, Song Yunying opened and shut her mouth, unspeaking.
After such a while, Song Yunying said, “No matter what, you are Childe Chu’s fianceé and returned too early. People will talk.”
“Let them talk. If the Shao Family gets back on their feet this time, the loss will outweigh the gain.”
