Chapter 184 - Song Yu, You Are Just Bluffing! (2/2)

“Since you are so confident, we will just wait and see then.” Song Yu stood up and gave her a cold stare. She produced her phone from her pocket and pressed the ‘stop’ button on a recording. Callously, she said, “Thanks to the things you’ve said today, Chengyue’s divorce with Jian Yi will be even more effortless now.”

Guan Xiaolin’s expression turned on a dime. Her smug face of confidence had gone. Slightly alarmed, she questioned, “What have you done!”

“What have I done? You want to marry Jian Yi. He’s the only person you love, isn’t that right? The Qi family will make sure Jian Yi leaves this marriage without gaining a single cent. He can join your family as a beggar,” Song Yu said in a poised manner. “You joined hands to bully those of the Qi family; do you think they will let you go this easily? Chengyue’s mother is your aunt, so what? Chengyue is her child – how can you compete? A niece caused her daughter to suffer through so much injustice. She may be able to endure this, but Chenglin won’t, and I’ll make sure Chengzhi doesn’t either.

“Though, I am curious – will Jian Yi appreciate a penniless family like the Guan family? I think it’s better if you start saving up for baby formula now,” Song Yu mocked indifferently. “Chengyue, let’s go.”

Qi Chengyue stood up with a blank expression and followed Song Yu out.

Guan Xiaolin sat frozen on her chair. She stared at the doorway in disbelief, but Song Yu and Qi Chengyue had long left.

With her jaw dropped for half a day, she finally said, as if to embolden herself, “For merely a failed wedding, she wants to get revenge on the Guan family? Song Yu, who do you think you are, to be able to control the Qi family? Even if my aunt is mad, it doesn’t mean Grandpa would let her do anything to the Guan family! Song Yu, you are just bluffing!”

Nonetheless, these words were not heard by Song Yu as she had long gotten in the car together with Qi Chengyue.

Guan Xiaolin sat in front of the table full of food in solitude, but she had no appetite.

Originally, she came to gloat and boast; in the end, she was the one left boiling with rage.

Furiously, she threw on her cap and sunglasses and stormed out of the room. In the dining hall, she headed straight for the exit, but she was stopped by a person from Dynasty.

“Miss, you have not paid the bill,” the waiter said.

“What do you mean? That’s Qi Chengzhi’s room, aren’t you supposed to just put it on his tab?” Guan Xiaolin stood in shock.

“When Madam Qi came out just now, she specifically said that you will handle the bill,” the waiter said.

Guan Xiaolin’s face went dark. She asked, “How much?”

“2350,” the waiter said.

“…”

Enraged, she could not believe Song Yu could be so shameless. She was the one who suggested Dynasty to Qi Chengyue, but in the end, they left without paying!

…

…

Cheng Dongge worried that Song Yu and Qi Chengyue would quickly fall out with Guan Xiaolin and come out any time, so he quickly ate his lunch and waited in his seat.

When he saw Song Yu and Qi Chengyue come out, Qi Chengyue was terrifyingly pale. Her eyes appeared hollow.

Before this, Qi Chengyue’s most attractive feature was that pair of eyes – typical of the Qi family. Those large, profound eyes were always filled with spirit. They carried an air of pride, but more conspicuously, a display of confidence and energy. They made her appear especially energetic – more active and youthful.

However, she now appeared many years older. Those eyes were filled with pain and despair. On her doll-like face, those eyes stood out sorely, making those around her feel sympathetic towards her.

Cheng Dongge got up to welcome Song Yu. Discreetly, he stole another glance at Qi Chengyue, then said, “Let’s get in the car first.”

After Song Yu and Qi Chengyue got in, Song Yu asked, “Where would you like to go?”

“I don’t know. You should get back to the company first. I’m sorry for dragging you here. I… wish to be alone now,” Qi Chengyue muttered. She was looking down, so Song Yu could not see her expression. “For today… thank you.”

Song Yu did not insist on staying with her. Qi Chengyue wanting to be alone to calm down was a normal reaction.

She thought that even though Qi Chengyue felt dejected, she would not do anything stupid.

Cheng Dongge drove them to Chengshi. When Song Yu was getting out, she instructed Cheng Dongge, “Special Assistant Cheng, please take good care of her. I will inform Chengzhi about this.”

Cheng Dongge nodded. As Song Yu got out, she stood by the car door and told Qi Chengyue, “If anything happens, call me – no matter what time it is.”

After saying that, Song Yu finally entered the company.

She did not know that just a while after she entered, Yu Keyao came too.

She looked washed-out. She wore a white-laced dress and had a palm-sized pouch carried on one shoulder. With her hands on her chest, she walked into the company.

Just as she was about to step through the front door, a man appeared out of nowhere. With casual clothing on, no one would have noticed him even if he stood by the streets.

He blocked Yu Keyao’s way. With his large stature towering in front of her, she subconsciously took two steps back.

“Miss Yu, please leave,” the man said with a deadpan expression.

“You know me? You…” Yu Keyao’s expression changed.

“I know you are here to see Mistress Qi. Young Master Cheng ordered that neither you nor anyone from the Yu family should go near Mistress Qi. Miss Yu, please leave.

“From today onward, no one from the Yu family is allowed to go anywhere near the mistress,” the man repeated in a cold and distant tone, like a robot.

Yu Keyao bit her lips. Her family’s company did not recover at all like Qi Chengzhi promised. Although Qi Chengzhi did stop harming the company, all he did was stop.

Nevertheless, the problems caused cannot be solved by Yu Zidong. If things continued this way, they would have no choice but to declare bankruptcy.

At the same time, Yu Zidong was going through his divorce with Liang Lihua. At home, disputes went on day after day. Moreover, those from the Liang family came over every day just to point and shout at Yu Zidong.

The studio Yu Zidong was supposed to open for her was never discussed again. Furthermore, the brand buyers and directors who had meetings set up all called in to cancel with the excuse of ‘something came up’.

At first, she thought that once Yu Zidong divorced Liang Lihua, the company would recover and everything would go back to the way it was. That was why when Yu Zidong suggested the divorce, she stood on his side.

Now, not only did the company not recover, but her career was also falling apart. Liang Lihua constantly called her an ingrate.

Thus, the reason she appeared here today was that she wanted to plead with Song Yu, but did not expect that she would not even get to see her.

Seeing that the man blocked her way, she knew there was no way to meet Song Yu.

Yu Keyao had come here several times before. She was going to show up when Song Yu left for lunch but to her surprise, be it lunch in the afternoon or getting off work at night, Qi Chengzhi came to fetch her personally. Even when he was not there, he had someone escort her. There was no way to reach Song Yu.

When Qi Chengzhi came personally, she did not even dare to show herself.

A few days passed without any chance to approach her, so she decided to go straight into the company and meet her during office hours. Unexpectedly, Qi Chengzhi arranged secret bodyguards for Song Yu.

The door was right in front of her – if she could just go through it, she would be able to see Song Yu. Sadly, she just had to be blocked. Unsatisfied, she stomped away, but she did not leave. Hidden nearby, she waited for an opportunity. There was no way this man could stare forever without blinking.

Nevertheless, he did. He stared indefinitely-he did not slack for even a second.

Yu Keyao had no choice but to return home first. As she walked through the doorway, the cries of Liang Lihua were heard. “Big brother, sister-in-law, please be reasonable. From the day I joined this family, I’ve been serious and responsible. I was worried sick for the family. If it weren’t for me shamelessly running to the Song family begging, what would have happened to Yu Zidong? Even so, now, for the company, for his own interest, he wants a divorce!”
