Chapter 391: Zhao Li
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When Meng Xia saw the words “Song Yin, ” her heart felt like it was about to leap out of her chest.
She had tried to indirectly inquire about where Song Yin had been sent, but Meng Yu always evaded the topic. However, she knew that Song Yin was in great danger.
Later, Song Yin’s death made her somewhat fearful. The former high and mighty young miss of the Song family had died, and her death was inevitably connected to Song Fan.
Meng Yu cried loudly in public but seemed only mildly sad in private. She even managed to extract many comforting gifts from Song Yi in the aftermath of Song Yin’s death. Upon turning around, Meng Yu’s face was filled with happiness again.
Now, the fact that the deceased Song Yin was sending her a message puzzled Meng Xia. She had witnessed Song Yin’s death, and they even did a DNA test afterward, confirming it was indeed Song Yin. So, was the person sending her the message Song Yin’s close friend from before? Was this person seeking revenge for her?
Walking back and forth in the utility room, Meng Xia was uncertain. But considering her current situation, if anything happened to Song Fan or Song Fan was dead, the responsibilities of Song Fan’s job would likely fall on her shoulders. Song Yi would never let such a good opportunity go to someone else!
As time passed, the other party didn’t send her any more messages. However, Meng Xia quickly analyzed the pros and cons and felt it was necessary to give it a try.
Since the person used Song Yin’s identity to contact her, they must be Song Fan’s enemy. Regardless of who it was, the enemy of one enemy was a friend. She decided she needed to go and find out.
The Market Department Three was busy, with almost everyone occupied.
Taking advantage of the lunch break when many people went out to eat, Meng Xia quickly followed suit, descended the stairs, and entered the private room of the restaurant across the street.
She was extremely nervous the entire way, only realizing upon entering the room that there was only another girl of similar age sitting inside.
The girl had her hair elegantly styled, exquisite makeup, and a hint of disdain in her eyes. However, from her clothes, jewelry, and even the globally limited edition handbag, it was clear she had a significant background, even more luxurious than Song Yin’s.
The girl stared at her coldly, then made a dissatisfied sound and asked, “You’re
Meng Xia, the adopted daughter of the Song family, right?”
“Yes, that’s me,” Meng Xia sat directly across from the girl, trying hard to appear less nervous. “Who are you? Why did you contact me using Song Yin’s name? Don’t you know she’s already dead?”
Though a bit nervous, Meng Xia still clenched her fists. She couldn’t afford to show any weakness at this moment.
The girl raised an eyebrow lazily and said, “Why do you care why I used Song
Yin’s name? She’s just a dead person.”
Hearing her words, Meng Xia finally relaxed a bit. If Song Yin was still alive, there might be a chance of her returning and competing with her for the position of Miss Song. But since she was dead, it was for the best. Without Song Fan, the position would naturally be hers, especially if she got rid of Song Fan.
“Do you know about the Zhao family in the capital? Oh, you’re just an adopted daughter. You probably wouldn’t know.” The girl, Zhao Li, playfully looked at Meng Xia. “But you can use the internet, right? You can find out with a search. I am Zhao Li, the young lady of the Zhao family.”
Zhao Li’s eyes were filled with arrogance and exuded an aura that Meng Xia couldn’t compare with. However, Meng Xia was unwilling to concede. She didn’t know how powerful the Zhao family was, but since Zhao Li sought her out, it meant she had some requests or needed help. Moreover, Zhao Li alone wouldn’t be enough to deal with Song Fan.
Thinking of the relations involved, Meng Xia felt somewhat relieved. “Yes, I haven’t heard of the Zhao family among the four major families in the capital, and you aren’t well-known in A City either. Zhao Li? This name isn’t as famous as Song Fan’s! Song Fan is not just the young miss of the Song family: she’s also a great contributor who facilitated the collaboration between Brown Group and Gu Corporation.”
Hearing others comparing her unfavorably with Song Fan, and even looking down on her, made Zhao Li stand up and slam the table. “What did you say? I’m not as good as Song Fan?”
Zhao Li’s eyes reddened, her expression becoming somewhat ferocious. “You’re just an adopted daughter! A little b*tch came from the unknown. How dare you look down on me? Just go and ask anyone! Who in the capital doesn’t show respect to the Zhao family? Just you? Do you think you’re worthy?”
Seeing her infuriated, Meng Xia felt even more reassured. Zhao Li’s reaction proved that she resented Song Fan deeply. Meng Xia confirmed that Zhao Li was indeed someone worth using.
“Yes, I’m nothing. But Song Fan is different. She’s not just the young miss of the Song family; she’s also the one in the heart of Young Master Gu.” Meng Xia stared at Zhao Li unwaveringly. In just a few minutes, she figured out that if someone from the capital came to deal with Song Fan, it must be because of Gu Chen.
As expected, Zhao Li’s anger flared up.. “Just her? She’s not worthy! She is not worthy to be with Gu Chen!”
