Chapter 554: Chapter 553 – He Accomplishes Her Revenge (Second Update)
There wasn’t a murmur at the dining table.
Song Zhizhi also dared not show any emotions.
Her current concern was if Leng Wanqing would act, as she hadn’t relayed any information to Jun Mingyu.
But in reality, Jun Mingyu should also be astute, he might have picked up Leng Wanqing’s sudden dinner invitation and its intentions.
Yet such a quiet dinner, showed no signs of abnormality at all.
Everyone was having their dinner, everyone appeared so calm and composed.
A long time.
The dinner finally ended.
The Dean said he wasn’t feeling well, he needed to go back to his room for rest, the rest of the affairs were left to Leng Wanqing to handle.
Then, Jun Mingyu accompanied the Dean to leave.
Just like that, he left.
So, Leng Wanqing indeed won’t take any action tonight.
As expected.
She was just testing her.
But at that moment she pretended to be clueless, her eyes looked at Leng Wanqing, seemingly perplexed about why nothing had happened.
Leng Wanqing didn’t give her any explanation either.
She said, “There are some things regarding the wedding that I need to discuss again, Miss Song and Zhidao, follow me back to my residence to talk further.”
Song Zhizhi and Song Zhidao were again brought to Leng Wanqing’s residence.
There were no others around, in the room there were only Song Zhizhi and Song Zhidao, along with Leng Wanqing, Jun Minghan and Jun Mingxi.
Song Zhizhi intentionally looked impatient, she asked, “I don’t know what Lady’s intentions are today?”
Leng Wanqing replied, “The Dean must have detected our plans, hence he brought along a lot of personal guards. I can’t ensure that I can completely take him down, therefore I didn’t want to act recklessly!”
“Lady could have informed me in advance. I’m not as strong as Lady internally, I fear I can’t withstand the psychological pressure.” At that moment, Song Zhizhi genuinely felt a little angry.
“I too had altered my plan at the last minute, there was no time to inform Miss Song.”
Song Zhizhi gritted her teeth.
She was blatantly unhappy but she could only swallow it down reluctantly.
“Miss Song doesn’t need to worry too much. This time I made no moves, the Dean will probably guess what my true intentions are. I won’t act, next time he will lower his guard. I’m just setting off a smoke screen, making it hard for the Dean to comprehend my thoughts, better fulfilling our wishes.” Leng Wanqing explained.
Song Zhizhi didn’t say anything else.
“Just now, when the Dean said that you and Zhidao are to take over Commercial Management, that was my idea.” Leng Wanqing admitted bluntly.
If Song Zhizhi was her person, if Song Zhizhi obeyed, naturally she would reward her.
Song Zhizhi stared at Leng Wanqing.
She looked somewhat excited but insisted on restraining it.
Leng Wanqing observed it clearly.
She said, “As long as one is truly loyal to me, I won’t let her down.”
“Thank you, Lady.” Song Zhizhi quickly responded.
“The wedding of Song Zhidao and Jun Mingxi is set for next Wednesday. Go back and prepare yourselves.”
“As for the matter of the Dean...”
“I have made arrangements and will notify you. For now, focus on preparing for the wedding. Mingxi is marrying into the Song Family, it’s mostly up to the Song Family to plan this wedding.”
“Alright, I will arrange everything properly.” Song Zhizhi nodded.
“I won’t say much else. Song Zhizhi, whether or not you can seize the future wealth, honour, influence and power, it all depends on how well you grasp it!”
“Yes.”
“Minghan, see them off.” Leng Wanqing ordered.
Jun Minghan respectfully responded.
Then he escorted Song Zhizhi and Song Zhidao out of the residence.
Naturally, the official family’s estate was huge, full of trees and man-made hills and streams.
The night was very quiet, even though there were many guards patrolling around, not a sound could be heard.
Jun Minghan led the way, Song Zhizhi and Song Zhidao followed him wordlessly.
The patrolling guards all showed them great reverence.
After a long walk, they reached the entrance.
Song Zhizhi and Song Zhidao politely thanked him, prepared to get onto the carriage when...
Jun Minghan suddenly said, “Miss Song, please hold on.”
Song Zhizhi paused.
Song Zhidao also looked at Jun Minghan with surprise.
“I have a few words to say to Miss Song privately.”
Song Zhizhi told Song Zhidao to get onto the carriage first.
Song Zhizhi said, “What does Sir Jun want to instruct?”
“Instruct is not the right word. But my mother did say that Miss Song is indeed a rare talent, and I should cherish you.”
“Thank you for the Lady’s high praise.”
“Song Zhizhi...” Jun Minghan suddenly leaned close to her.
Song Zhizhi paused, but didn’t avoid him.
Jun Minghan’s lips whispered in Song Zhizhi’s ear, “My mother said, let’s consummate our marriage soon.”
As for her.
All she wanted was revenge.
And he... would indulge her!
“Alright,” The Dean agreed rapidly, “strike them down off-guard while Jun Minghan is indulging in worldly pleasures!”
Ji Baijian nodded.
So did Jun Mingyu.
It wasn’t a surprise.
That couple, striving for their objectives, could be so cold-blooded and heartless!
...
Song Zhizhi sat in the sedan, utterly silent.
Song Zhidao seemed rather restless beside her.
Because he had no idea what Song Zhizhi was thinking.
Song Zhidao asked, “Sister, what exactly did you say to Jun Minghan? Why did the two of you seem so close?”
“Jun Minghan likes me.” Song Zhizhi said straightforwardly.
Song Zhidao was taken aback.
“I can feel it.”
“So, you are considering a relationship with him?”
“He’s powerful and influential, poised to become the next Dean. If I can be with him, at least we’d be secured for the rest of our lives.”
“But what about Ji Baijian...”
“Ji Baijian?” Song Zhizhi gave a small laugh.
She said nothing else.
The truth was, Song Zhidao knew very well.
Ji Baijian was already dead, set up by her.
His sister indeed had changed.
People of the Song family, no matter how noble their claims of doing things for the sake of the family, could not resist the lure of benefits!
“Should I seriously consider living a good life with Jun Mingxi?”
“Only if Jun Minghan actually inherits the title,” added Song Zhizhi.
“Alright, I understand.”
Song Zhizhi didn’t speak any further, and Song Zhidao let the matter rest.
The silence in the car resumed.
After a long while.
Song Zhizhi initiated a conversation, “Brother Ziming, have you seen Xiaolang’s cub?”
“Do you mean the little tiger?”
“Yes.”
“Xiaolang sent me a photo, but I haven’t met it in person yet.”
“There might be some things happening soon. Let’s go see the little tiger tonight, we might not get to see it next time.”
“Alright.” Ziming nodded, “I’ll drop Zhidao off first.”
“Zhidao, I’ll come and talk about the wedding arrangement tomorrow morning. You better get some rest tonight.”
“Sure.” Song Zhidao nodded.
Ziming dropped off Song Zhidao at Song Family’s mansion first before driving away.
Song Zhidao watched the sedan’s taillights fade away.
He picked up his phone and dialed a number, “Mr. Jun.”
“How did your sister react tonight?”
“She wants to ingratiate herself with you.”
Jun Minghan laughed coldly.
He knew it; women were practical.
“Okay, I got it. You prepare for Mingxi’s wedding. You’ve heard it as well; the Commercial Management will be yours and your sister’s from now on.”
“I hope you can treat my sister well,” Song Zhidao said seriously.
“As long as you obey, I’ll treat her well.”
“Okay.”
Song Zhidao hung up the phone.
No matter what, it’s just the two of them left in their family now.
As long as their interests don’t conflict, he hopes his sister will live a good life.
Inside the sedan.
Wei Ziming looked at Song Zhizhi in the backseat through the rearview mirror, “Do you have something to tell me?”
“Yes.” Song Zhizhi nodded, “Zhidao might have already fallen for Jun Minghan.”
“Indeed. Even before your father’s death, your brother had already been deeply involved. So, when you told me that Song Zhidao is different from your father, I reminded you in particular not to trust too easily.”
Song Zhizhi nodded.
That moment was indeed quite ironic!
Who would have thought that the most loyal person to her would be Wei Ziming, a man who doesn’t share any blood relations with her?
All those who were related by blood couldn’t be trusted!
