Chapter 402 - Song Chunlis Perseverance (1/2)
Song Ci had thought that she was wrong.
“Is it really you?” She came over. “Have you resigned? I heard from the headmaster that you took a long vacation.”
Ah Zi was terrified, immediately sitting up and staring at Chen Chen. She planned to take action as soon as Chen Chen looked somewhat confused.
Chen Chen blinked her eyes. “Miss Song, long time no see.”
“Phew.” Thankfully, she remembered what had happened at school…
“I heard that you were ill. Are you okay now?” Song Ci looked Chen Chen up and down and found that she looked well.
Chen Chen was about to say that she was not ill, when she heard Jiang Rui say coldly, “She is not sick, she just doesn’t want to teach.”
As soon as Song Ci looked up, she was stunned. “Jiang… Jiang Rui?” She covered her chest and looked more carefully in order to make sure that she saw him clearly. She had seen Jiang Rui from a distance. It really was Jiang Rui!
“Chief Jiang!” Song Ci immediately greeted him. “I didn’t expect to encounter you. What are you…?”
Jiang Rui glanced at her. “I’m eating with my wife. If you have nothing to say, please leave us alone!”
Song Ci was confounded, and she looked at Chen Chen, finding that she did not look at her with her head down. So she smiled wisely and said, “My greeting is very abrupt. Mrs. Chen, although we’re not going to work together in the future, can we have dinner together sometime?”
“Oh!” Chen Chen looked up, and upon seeing Song Ci looking at her with a smile, she felt embarrassed and nodded. “OK, keep in touch.”
Song Ci left, but before leaving, she stared at Bear for a long time. Bear also smiled at her, and when he offered to send her out, she didn’t even refuse him actually.
“Ah Zi, you have eaten up all the chicken wings. Why didn’t you leave one for Bear?” Chen Chen saw Ah Zi continue to eat.
Jiang Rui frowned and asked Xiao Si to order a few more chicken wings. “Don’t worry. Help yourself.”
“Exactly. Don’t worry about him. Maybe he went to eat with the beautiful woman.” Ah Zi picked up another one.
Bear heard her words when he came back and got upset. He just clearly told Song Ci not to have a big mouth, instead of eating with her. But he couldn’t explain that in front of Chen Chen, so he got close to Ah Zi with a smile.
“How about I grill a fish for you? The fish here are very delicious!”
Ah Zi ignored him, while Tuan Zi raised an oily hand. “I want one!”
Song Ci didn’t sleep well all night. The next day, she deliberately asked for leave to find Song Meiyu.
“Meiyu, haven’t you gone to see Jiang Rui recently?”
Song Meiyu was looking at herself in the mirror and cutting her nose hair. On hearing her words, she said angrily, “Song Chunli hasn’t been coming to see me for a long time. I have no chance to go see my cousin.
“But why do you suddenly care about me?” Song Meiyu glanced at her immediately. “Do you also want to lay hands on Jiang Rui?”
“What’s wrong with you?” Song Ci’s face clouded over. “I know you like him. And even if you didn’t like him, he is not the kind of man that I like.” She continued more gently, “It’s said that his wife seemed to be seriously ill.”
Song Meiyu gave her a mean look. “You know nothing about the truth. His wife is not ill at all. I heard from my dad that when Cousin Jiang performed a task, that stupid woman went along and got accidentally shot in the head.”
“Head?” Song Ci remembered what Chen Chen had looked like last night. She could not see it.
“Yes, I heard that it had the side effects of memory loss.”
Song Ci thought that it was nonsense. Yesterday, Chen Chen clearly greeted her, but it was a good reason. She thought about it and laughed. “Isn’t this a good opportunity? How could you sit still?”
“What do you mean?”
Song Ci sat down in front of her. “If I were you, I would go to Song Chunli and inquire about what happened. Maybe his wife has even forgotten him.”
“You mean… the woman surnamed Chen doesn’t remember Jiang Rui?” Song Meiyu stood up excitedly.
“I never said that. But I mean it’s possible.” Song Ci grabbed her. “So I advise you to ask the old woman!”
Jiang Rui had been Song Meiyu’s dream all her life, so even if she could not marry him, she had to make herself his woman. Therefore, she didn’t hesitate to go to the Jiang family’s residence that night.
“Don’t mention that woman.” Song Chunli’s face clouded over after Song Meiyu finished her words.
A few months ago, Jiang Qianren had told her that Chen Chen had been wounded in the head accidentally, and then they found that she was the daughter of Boss Wan.
“A soldier actually married the daughter of a great munitions merchant. Our Jiang family does not have such a grandson.” Song Chunli said while getting angrier, “Don’t tell me that you’ll find your cousin again, because he is not my grandson anymore.”
Song Meiyu quickly poured her a cup of tea. “Great Aunt, if you leave him alone, wouldn’t it just fulfill that woman’s wishes?” She tried to persuade her while giving her a back rub to make her breath smooth. “Now we have better reasons to make my cousin divorce that woman. Furthermore, if there is really something wrong with her brain so that she has forgotten my cousin, will she…”
Song Chunli glanced at her. “Just say it.”
“Will she cheat on Cousin Jiang?” Song Meiyu saw the old woman look gloomy immediately, then hurriedly said, “Great Aunt, don’t be angry. It’s just a casual remark. Otherwise…”
“No, you’re right!” Song Chunli’s eyes lit up. “Jiang Rui won’t divorce the woman according to my instructions. But what if Chen Chen does something to embarrass him?”
Song Meiyu nodded excitedly. “Yeah. In this way, Cousin Jiang will have no other way. Will he forgive a woman who has cheated on him?” But then, Song Meiyu began to worry. “But what if there is nothing wrong with her brain?”
