Chapter 55：Rivals (1/2)

The Next Day:

Song Ren drove back home this time with Su Feng in the passenger seat. After spending the weekend with the Su family, she parted ways with them, exchanging numbers with some of his female cousins and Su Yuying begged to visit her back home.

She glanced to her side, where Su Feng was resting his head against the window. He crossed his arms against his chest. She turned her head to focus on the road when she felt something warm against her right hand. She realized that Su Feng had enveloped her hand with his, holding tight. When she turned to face him, his eyes were still closed, and his head remained against the glass window.

When they arrived at her home, Su Feng helped Song Ren bring her stuff inside, while he ket mum to himself. As they walked in, they stumbled into a chaotic looking home. It looked like an earthquake had occurred in the city while they left town, as the structure of the household was intact, but everything inside was a mess. But it was not an earthquake; it was Song Jinyi and Song Jun.

Song Jinyi was eating out of a jar of Nutella while she stumbled upon Song Ren with a face full of wrath and fury. She dropped her spoon, quickly scurrying away. But as she ran, she bumped into Song Jun as he left the living room and they both collided, crashing their heads and collapsing on the floor.

”Sis, you're back,” said Song Jun anxiously as he rubbed his head, from the marble floor.

”Hm, I came a day early,” she said. As her parent's left the country, and her brother left the nest. Song Ren had been responsible for the twins, but she trusted them. But she couldn't be entirely mad. Song Ren understood the rebellious mind of teenagers. ”Where is Song Mei?” she asked.

Song Jinyi shrugged, ”Mei has been here in days, but she calls every day. Says she's been working with Song Sheng diligently that she always ends up crashing at his place.”

Song Jun continued, ”Besides, as Jinyi said, why are you here early Ren?”

Song Ren smiled with some underlying anger. ”Because of the tabloids. I think Xiao Mei thought I wouldn't find out, but I keep tabs on everything. Yang Minzhe reported to me directly. Allegedly, I am a heartless president who preys on lower-class citizens.”

”I came as soon as I heard,” she said.

Su Feng stepped in. ”I'm going home,” he said as he swiftly planted a kiss on Song Ren's head. Song Jinyi giggled to Song Jun, but they scurried away when they noticed Song Ren, giving them a deadly glare.

Song Ren turned to face him, ”When can I see you next?” she asked him.

Su Feng moved closer, grazing her ear with his warm breath. ”The day after tomorrow?” he asked her. Song Ren's breath hitched, and she slowly nodded. Su Feng granted her a smile, a light peck against her lips and left the house.

Song Ren placed her things back in her room and drove her car, but instead of the company, she went towards a different direction.

Su Feng drove his car towards his home. As soon as he arrived, he went straight to his personal computer. He read headlines and articles about Song Ren, and he felt annoyed by what they are trying to stir.

Su Feng dug into his private company files and hacked into his father's system. As he searched through the data, he found nothing.
