Changqing stared wide-eyed. “Impossible. What did you tell her?”
Song Chuyi felt a sense of regret. “In any case, my grandma won’t blame you. Listen to me—
just sleep until you feel like waking up.”
He stroked her hair and got up to wash up.
Changqing touched her head and suddenly had an idea, so she also gave up the thought of leaving with him.
When Song Chuyi was done changing and was getting ready to leave for work, she opened her lids lazily.
“I’m going off to work, bye.” Song Chuyi went over and kissed her forehead. “Have a good sleep and don’t think too much. I’ll call you at night.”
“Give me the car keys; I don’t have a car.” Changqing reached her hand out.
Song Chuyi thought for a while before giving her his car keys.
After he left, Changqing still didn’t dare to sleep for too long at the Song Household. She quickly got up and washed up. She purposely picked a shirt with a wider collar today and left her hair down.
She looked at herself in front of the mirror for a long time. Although she didn’t give Song Chuyi a hickey on his neck, it didn’t matter because she had many all over her. All she had to do was pretend to accidentally brush her hair to the side when she was in the living room and Song Yunyang would definitely be able to see them.
Changqing felt that this was quite a good idea; it just seemed a little scheming and shameless.
However, she wanted to make Song Yunyang understand that she had already conquered Song Chuchu.
Song Yunyang better give up as soon as possible.
The more she thought about it, the more excited Changqing got. It was her first time doing something like this and she felt excited and nervous.
Part of the reason she was nervous was that she was still afraid of Grandma Song.
However, she didn’t think that the moment she went downstairs, Grandma Song, who was sitting in the living room, would actually smile brightly at her. “Changqing, why are you up so early? Why don’t you sleep for a while more?”
Changqing was shocked by the sudden attention. Song Chuchu was really right.
What exactly did the two of them talk about last night?
She felt more at ease, but inside, she still couldn’t see Grandma Song as that amiable and endearing person she was before. This change was too quick that it seemed as though the old lady was wearing a mask.
“I couldn’t fall back asleep after getting up. Besides, I have to go to work later.” Changqing hesitated as she walked towards Grandma Song. “Grandma, you…”
“Changqing, Grandma was wrong before. I’m old and there are some things that I couldn’t think through, so I was muddle-headed. Don’t lower yourself to my level.” Grandma Song held her hand and took out a jade bangle from an exquisite box sitting on the table. She slipped the bangle onto Changqing’s wrist and said, “Chuyi’s Second Uncle brought it back for me before and told me it was jade. When I saw this bangle, I felt it would suit you very well. Look, when you’re pretty, you look good with anything.”
“Oh…” Changqing was a little bewildered. One look at this bangle and she could tell that it was expensive. It probably cost a few tens of thousands, but Grandma Song, who kept speaking to her sarcastically yesterday, just gave it to her like that. She almost suspected that she was still dreaming. “Grandma, thank you but this bangle is too expensive.”
“It’s not expensive, it’s not expensive. Wear it and don’t you take it off,” Grandma Song said with a smile. “You must be hungry. Quick, go have breakfast.”
Changqing nodded. “Right, where’s Big Brother?”
“He went to work.”
Changqing heaved a sigh of relief and felt a little braver than before while she ate breakfast. Her eyes kept darting around. When the kitchen Auntie came out with newly made sandwiches, she took the chance to ask her, “Where’s Yunyang?”
“Maybe she’s still sleeping,” the kitchen Auntie said. “The nurse said her wounds hurt so much at night that she couldn’t even sleep well, so she might wake up a little later.”
Changqing was stunned. “So painful?”
“Of course it would hurt a lot.” The kitchen Auntie lowered her voice. “That stab was just a few centimeters away from her heart. The youngsters nowadays are really ruthless. Actually, Miss Song is quite pitiful too. She just entered the hospital not long ago and hasn’t done anything, but she got stabbed just because she was Second Young Master’s sister.”
Changqing suddenly felt quite embarrassed about provoking Song Yunyang.
It seemed a little too immoral for her to provoke a person who couldn’t even sleep well because of her injuries and pain. She better wait until Song Yunyang recovered before she provoked her. “Right, what’s going to happen to the perpetrator?”
“He was caught and will definitely be sentenced to jail, maybe for several decades.”
Changqing nodded thoughtfully.
After breakfast, Changqing took her bag and bade the old lady farewell before leaving. Who knew that just as she reached the car, Song Chulang’s jeep would drive in?
He walked over with large strides and his black outfit from top to toe made him look even colder.
Changqing cried internally. She quickly opened the car door, preparing to get in.
“You’re planning to leave without even greeting me?” Song Chulang walked towards her apathetically.
Changqing froze and could only squeeze out a smile as she turned her head back. “It’s because I know that Big Brother doesn’t like me, so I wanted to get out of your sight quickly.”
“It’s good that you know. Since that’s the case, you should go as far as you can. Why do you still come to our house? Did I say all that for nothing? Besides, I’ve already told you that as long as you get a divorce, the Yan Corporation won’t be affected,” Song Chulang said expressionlessly; the words he said were as cold as a poisonous needle. “Or do you want more?”
Changqing’s face reddened from anger. Wen Tong was right—she should stand up against him after he kept bullying her repeatedly. She couldn’t allow him to always bully her. A rabbit would also bite back one day if it was pushed to its limit.
She took a deep breath and pretended to brush her hair carelessly, revealing the hickeys on her neck. Song Chulang’s face changed. “You vixen. How dare you bewitch Chuyi in the Song Household?”
“I didn’t bewitch him—he insisted on biting me.” Changqing pouted and snorted. “I also raised the subject of divorce, but Chuchu was unwilling. He refused to listen no matter how I persuaded him. I had no choice either. You can say he was bewitched by me or that I’m a vixen, but in any case, he can’t leave me right now. If you don’t like it, don’t look for me—look for your brother and do some thinking.”
Song Chulang’s face changed. Impressive. After not seeing her for a period of time, this woman even dared to talk back to him. She had indeed become more and more shameless. “Why would he be like this if not for the tricks you used in bed to bewitch him? Do you think there’s a point in a marriage that’s built on sex?”
“Have you gotten married before?” Changqing asked as she blinked her eyes. “Have you had sex with a woman before?”
Song Chulang’s face froze.
“One look at your weird character and I know that you haven’t. You must’ve not set your eyes on any other woman after falling in love with Song Yunyang.” Changqing clicked her tongue and took in a deep breath of cold air. To think that Song Chulang was still a virgin. “However, I heard that even a normal man has needs. Even if you don’t have a woman beside you when you wake up in the morning, you must have needs but you can’t look for any woman to satisfy your needs. Therefore, Chuchu isn’t the kind of man who would look for a woman just to satisfy his needs.
“If that was the case, he would definitely get some other woman around him after breaking up with Yunyang then, but he didn’t. He also didn’t bed Guan Ying when they were together. This proves that he likes me. Don’t push all the blame onto me and say that I bewitched him or that I’m a vixen. I don’t even know any sorcery.”
Song Chulang’s facial muscles twitched. The morning sun made his handsome face slightly red. “Yan Changqing, you’re simply shameless. Aren’t you embarrassed at all, discussing needs with a man in public in broad daylight?”
“You forced me to,” Changqing said in a huff. “I was initially very embarrassed, but every time you made me sound like I was very shameless, and after a long time, I got used to it and my skin grew thicker. Also, don’t keep saying that I bewitched your brother anymore. I feel that that’s an insult to your brother. I know that you love Yunyang a lot so you’re forcing us to get a divorce in hopes that they’d get together, but if they wanted to get together, they would’ve done so long ago. Stop worrying about them and stop matchmaking people together. If I were you, rather than worrying about Yunyang being unhappy all the time, I would be the one to make her happy.”
“You don’t know anything at all,” Song Chulang said through gritted teeth.
“You’re the one who doesn’t know,” Changqing said. “Song Yunyang likes Chuchu and you feel you have to bring them together. If one day Song Yunyang doesn’t like Chuchu anymore, are you going to kick him away and bring the one she likes to her? Then what would you be to her? Your thinking is too skewed; is it because you feel inferior and don’t dare to pursue love?”
“I dare you to spout one more line of nonsense.” Song Chulang’s anger was all over his face. “Feelings are mutual between the two of them. Besides, Yunyang isn’t the type to have a change of heart easily. If not for you, things wouldn’t have come to this state.”
“It’s the three of you who didn’t settle things between yourselves properly and I got implicated. Don’t drag me into this.” Changqing felt that this person was really unreasonable. However, she still cowered under his fierce gaze and took a step back slowly, saying softly, “That’s right. I admit you’re very noble when it comes to love. You obviously love that woman, but you kept giving her to someone else. However, you’re not in their relationship, you don’t know what real problems there are between them at all and you’re just forcing yourself into their lives, telling them what to do. I think brothers like you will always exist. When Chuchu was with Song Yunyang, he must’ve felt very incompetent and useless. Also, you like someone so much, but you don’t even bother to fight for her. I suggest that you go and see a psychiatrist. Really.”
The coldness in the depths of Song Chulang’s eyes increased.
Changqing didn’t dare to go on. She quickly opened the car door, slid in and locked it. After that, she rolled down the window and said, “Also, from what I see, you’re more of an amateur than me when it comes to love, yet you’re unwilling to see a psychiatrist. Perhaps finding a woman to settle your needs would make you see things more clearly.”
After saying that, she stepped on the accelerator and escaped before he could erupt.
“Yan Changqing…” Song Chulang clenched his teeth tighter.
Under the blazing sun, his face was ashen.
Even Song Huaisheng didn’t dare to say such things to him.
