Song Yi clutched his chest, and Meng Yu quickly stepped forward to support him. Then she reprimanded, “Fanfan, I know you’re upset, and I can understand, but you can’t be so angry with your dad!”
Meng Xia saw an opportunity and hurriedly supported Song Yi on the other side. “That’s right, sister, you were too harsh just now. Godfather has been thinking about you all these years. I can understand that you feel uncomfortable…
“You can understand? Can all of you understand?” Song Fan clenched her fists. “Were you abandoned in the wilderness? Or did you ever go hungry, without a place to sleep? Can you understand my life back then? If not, don’t speak useless words here.”
She looked at Song Yi seriously again. “Dad, I still call you Dad now because you’re the man my mom loved. But you should also know that just because there’s a blood relation doesn’t mean I have to obey you. If you want to collaborate with Charlie, do it. If not, it’s fine. I’m not interested in the affairs of the Song Corporation.”
She went upstairs without continuing to look at the people downstairs.
Song Yi was so angry that he trembled all over, and he had to take a pill to calm down.
Meng Yu hesitated and asked, “Isn’t Charlie going to cooperate with the Song Corporation? Why does it have to be this unfilial daughter? Can she be on the same page with you?”
Meng Xia, at this moment, was also clever. She quickly helped Song Yi along his back and said gently, “Godmother is right. I’ve always had a good relationship with Charlie. He even made plans to hang out with me in a few days.”
“Godfather, if sister is so angry with you, it seems she won’t cooperate well with Charlie. I’m also interested in jewelry. Look at this necklace Charlie gave me. How about letting me work on this project with him?”
When Song Yi mentioned Charlie’s cooperation earlier, Meng Xia had already made plans, especially when she remembered that Charlie had said to her that if she was an adopted daughter, she would still have inheritance rights. She began to get restless.
“Miss Song” was just a status, but the property was real. If she could get a share of the Song family’s wealth, even if she just managed a small branch of the
Song Corporation, her future would be different, especially now that she had Charlie as a strong support.
Meng Yu could see her intentions. Meng Yu had already been expelled from the Song Group. If Meng Xia could be sent in, it would be a good thing. She quickly said, “Yes, Xiao Xia is obedient and listens to you. You’ve watched her grow up and know her the best. Besides, she has always performed well academically, and she’s a quick learner. If she manages a new brand, with your guidance, it will surely be fine.”
Song Yi coldly appraised the two women. How could he not see through their intentions? However, if Song Fan was the only one to handle it, it might not be a good thing either.
So he nodded and then showed his usual smile. “You’re right; Xiao Xia is still good. I’ll be more at ease with her in the Song Group.”
Upon hearing his words, Meng Yu and Meng Xia exchanged glances, seeing the joy in each other’s eyes.
But he continued, “But Charlie has made it clear. If it’s not Song Fan in charge, he won’t cooperate. You should know that there is not only the Song family but also many other big companies in the country eager to cooperate with the Brown Group.”
He looked meaningfully at Meng Xia. “If we can change Charlie’s mind, maybe there is still hope. What do you think?”
Meng Xia looked at his expression and was surprised in her heart. But she still smiled and said, “Godfather, I understand.’
She knew very well that she was just a pawn in the Song family, not only in Meng Yu’s eyes but also in Song Yi’s.
It wasn’t until eight o’clock in the evening that Meng Xia started to dress up.
She understood Song Yi’s intentions—just to let her take the initiative and see if Charlie would compromise. If she had no use, Song Yi wouldn’t let her enter the Song Corporation.
She had already called Charlie early. Charlie didn’t answer. She sent him a
WeChat message, asking him to pick her up at nine, but Charlie hadn’t replied. At nine o’clock, the doorbell rang at the Song residence, but the visitor was not Charlie.
“Mr. Gu? It’s so late; what brings you to my house?” Song Yi looked at Gu Chen with some surprise. They only had some business dealings, and they had never had private contact. Moreover, Gu Chen had never come to the Song house before.
Gu Chen, however, didn’t seem reserved. He nodded slightly. “I’m here to find Song Fan.”
At this moment, the doorbell rang again, and Charlie finally arrived. Upon seeing Gu Chen, he didn’t appear surprised but smiled.. “It seems we both came to find Song Fan?”
