Chapter 278 - Can Give Birth Again

“He already left Bo Han Hospital and the only hospital in Northern City that can be considered in the same class as Bo Han Hospital is Northern City Subsidiary Hospital, but if others found out about his status as the Second Young Master of the Song Family, who would dare to hire him? Can you bear to see him working at those small hospitals from nine to five with a basic salary and no future?”

Changqing felt that he was really very shameless but he also felt quite bad for Song Chuchu. Why did Song Chuyi have a family that didn’t understand him at all? “Director Song, why do you want me to persuade him? In any case, you have two sons, so it wouldn’t matter if you lost one. I think you should put in more effort to raise and cultivate your third son. Even if you lose Chuyi as a son, your wife is still young and can give birth again. The Song Family is rich too, so it wouldn’t be a problem even if you gave birth to a football team.”

Song Huaisheng’s stiff face was immediately flushed with anger. For his entire life up until his present age, there was basically no one who dared to go against him; however, this young little lady in front of him actually dared to make a dig at him. His eyes squinted with embarrassment. “Yan Changqing, do you think that just because I’m talking nicely to you, you can push your luck? Do you think just because the Yan Corporation entered into an overseas partnership that I wouldn’t dare to do anything? Think about your family when you say these words and also your Sis’s job.”

Changqing took in a deep breath. This smelly old man really was shameless. However, she still endured it. “I don’t know how much love and concern you have for Song Chuyi as his father. In any case, I think you don’t understand him at all. Do you know what kind of life he wants? Perhaps the nine to five lifestyle is one he yearns for. He never about his inheritance from the Song family. What he needs is familial warmth. He always likes to be at our house because our family doesn’t plot or scheme against each other.”

“However, while I’m at the Song family’s, I feel quite sad for him whenever I see you talking to him with that tone. It’s simply how an employer would talk to his subordinates. Have you ever shown him a little concern before? In any case, I haven’t seen it. Showing concern isn’t about giving him the best material goods or the best status. It’s addressing his psychological needs. I don’t think you’ve ever considered his feelings. You always force the things you want for him onto him without even asking for his opinion.”

Song Huaisheng’s expression utterly changed.

He recalled the irrational words Song Chuyi said to him previously. Song Chuyi said he had never considered his feelings.

How could it be that he had never considered Song Chuyi’s feelings?

Song Chuyi liked medicine, so Song Huaisheng let him study all he wanted and gave him a good platform to help him become the Hospital Director in the future.

He arranged a chance for Song Chuyi to further his studies all because of his future.

The importance he placed on Song Chuyi was his version of familial warmth.

Changqing said softly, “Haven’t you seen any reports on children from divorced families? The thing they actually crave most is warmth, and at the same time, it’s more likely for them to develop issues. I don’t think I can persuade him to go back. This is between the Song family members. You’re the one who made him feel unimportant and you’re also the one who made him think that this family is cold. That’s why he left. Besides, you’ve already successfully destroyed our marriage. There’s nothing between us already.”

After saying her piece, she turned to walk away. Song Huaisheng frowned and said, “I never thought about separating the two of you.”

“You haven’t?” Changqing laughed bitterly and shook her head. “I really don’t know what you, Songs, are thinking.”

She thought inside: If Song Chuyi leaves, it wouldn’t be that bad. At least he can become a more normal person.

She turned to leave. After an exhausting night, she needed to eat something to fill her stomach.

She took out a plate and filled half her plate with meat. Suddenly, a burst of soft laughter came from behind. “No wonder Chuyi said you love meat. It looks like it’s true.”

Changqing turned back and saw Zhan Mingwei standing behind her, smiling. Under the light, she could see that he was dressed smartly and his features were prominent. His smile was vibrant.

“Chief Zhan…” Changqing’s fair face blushed. She lowered her head with embarrassment as she looked at her plate. There was just roasted mutton and steak on it.

“Don’t be nervous; I know all of you are quite tired tonight.” Zhan Mingwei took her plate and walked towards the table and chairs by the side.

Changqing noticed that many people were looking over because the Chief was helping her carry her food. She could only brace herself and head over to sit with him. “Chief Zhan, is anything the matter?”

“Did your dad like his wedding gift?” Zhan Mingwei passed her a pair of cutlery kindly.

Changqing accepted it and was stunned for a few seconds. She nodded. “Chief Zhan, were you the one who chose it?”

“How’s that possible? Chuyi was the one who chose it. I just helped him deliver it,” Zhan Mingwei said brightly. “Initially, Chuyi wanted to go and attend the wedding. Unfortunately, his mom got into a collision with a bus when she was driving, so he’s in Germany now.”

Changqing was shocked. She asked nervously, “How is his mom now? Is she in any danger?”

Zhan Mingwei watched her deeply and shook his head slowly. “Her life isn’t in any danger, but she’s still unconscious. I heard she had a head injury so there’s no telling when she will regain consciousness.”

Changqing lowered her gaze and fell silent.

Come to think of it, such a thing happened to Song Chuyi’s mother before Changqing even got the chance to meet her. That was probably a huge blow to Song Chuyi at the time.

Zhan Mingwei sighed softly as he picked up his wine glass. “Chuyi’s mother never got remarried there. Other than her secretary, she has no kin to take care of her. His mom is a workaholic. When she was young, the pursuit of her dreams and career caused her to neglect her two sons. There were times when Chuyi hated his mom too. If his mom hadn’t put all her heart and soul into her work, this family wouldn’t have fallen apart and Dai Ai wouldn’t have gotten a chance to enter the picture.”

Changqing picked up a piece of sliced steak and put it into her mouth. She chewed on it as though she was chewing on rubber.

Song Chuyi had never told her about his mother. So his mother was such a person.

His dad married a young wife within three months of the divorce and had always instructed Song Chuyi like an employer while his mother put all her heart into her work, neglecting him. On top of that, he even had an extremely perverted brother.

She suddenly deeply sympathized with Song Chuyi all of a sudden.

“Then… will he not be coming back for the time being?” She suddenly thought about this as she asked softly.

“It’ll at least have to wait until his mom recovers.” Zhan Mingwei’s voice was gentle. “Actually, I hope you can reconsider the matters between you and Song Chuyi. He really only found out about what actually happened to your family after everything unfolded. His family members also didn’t consider his feelings, and because of that, he fought with his family several times. He hid it from you and didn’t tell you but that also put him through a lot of torture. Ever since he got married to you, he’s become much more lively and sometimes… he even seems childish. Changqing, I really hope you can reconsider it carefully. I understand your situation. You’re afraid that Song Chulang won’t let matters rest, but I believe that as long as two people are truly in love and have the determination to face everything together, there will always be a way to solve things.”

Changqing shook her head with mixed feelings. “I’m mainly worried about my sister and father. Their family exhausts me. I don’t understand how a family like that can exist, with a brother and a father like that.”

A hint of disappointment flashed past Zhan Mingwei’s eyes. “Families like this are everywhere. You work at the broadcasting station yourself; go to the news department more often and you’ll find out that in our current society, only two out of ten families are as healthy as yours. There are also gossip mongers who like to spin tales. You asked why he has a family like that? I’m sorry, but that was predestined. You choose a person and of course, you can choose his family, but have you ever thought about love? Wanting to be together because you love a person?”

Changqing was stunned. She felt that everything Zhan Mingwei said was too complicated. She was a novice in relationships and couldn’t seem to understand.

“Mingwei, no wonder I couldn’t find you when I came back from the washroom. So you were chatting with a pretty lady here.” The short-haired beauty sitting beside Zhan Mingwei previously put her arm around his shoulders with a smile.

Changqing explained nervously. “Please don’t misunderstand; there’s nothing between Chief Zhan and me…”

“I know. You’re Chuyi’s wife, right?” The short-haired beauty tilted her head and smiled. “I’m the wife of your Chief Zhan, Siyao. Hello. I’ve long been curious about you.”

Changqing blinked with bewilderment.

Siyao laughed softly. “I was just curious about what kind of woman could make the aloof Song Chuyi become so childish and moody. He never dabbled with Weibo in the past, but ever since he got married to you, he always logged on to Weibo for a while and would even call my husband to ask him what kind of gifts and flowers women liked. The funniest part was that the few days you were in Mauritius, he would come over to our place with a black face every day and even asked my husband how to set up a Weibo account, causing us to almost lose our privacy. Now, there’s another joy in my life, which is checking your Weibo from time to time. I think he’s already at “delicate and beautiful 3″ now. How impressive—you’ve already blacklisted him so many times.”

Changqing felt slightly embarrassed hearing about that, but she also felt a hint of sweetness flowing through her heart.

So Song Chuyi did so many childish things behind her back.

And he still kept calling her childish. He was no better than her.

“Oh, right, I’ve also heard Shaobin mention how they chased you all the way to Mount Huxiu. It was hilarious.” Siyao couldn’t stop laughing. “He was just afraid you’d be snatched away by that Lin Yueli, and the moment he heard you left the city with him, he got Shaobin to drive and catch up with you immediately. The two men weren’t even prepared. Shaobin suggested they take the cable car up, but Song Chuyi refused. He was afraid that the two of you would cultivate feelings for each other during the hike. In the end, they got lost on the mountain. The next day, when he came over to our house to eat, I saw that his face was filled with mosquito bites. How childish. I heard he wanted to look for a job initially, but upon hearing that Lin Yueli was chasing you, he stopped his job hunt all because he was afraid he’d lose you.”

Changqing couldn’t help but smile.

Actually, she also figured that meeting him on the mountain wasn’t a coincidence. He must’ve gotten someone to tail her.
