Chapter 640 - Make an Announcement
Before Gu Yi set out, the nurses received a call from Gu Changle. Gu Changle told them to take good care of Gu Yi. But the words “take good care” had a double meaning. Like Gu Changle, Shao Tianze also spoke to the nurses and let them look after Gu Yi well before Gu Yi set off. The nurses thought that Gu Changle’s and Shao Tianze’s words had opposite meanings. However, they could not afford to offend either of them. Thus if they chose to please one of them, they would displease the other. So after thinking twice, the nurses thought that the best way was to skimp it. The nurses decided to treat Gu Yi neither too well nor too bad. They understood what they should do. Neither should they be close nor slight to Gu Yi. Neither should they look after Gu Yi too well nor too bad. The bodyguards beside them were also going to treat Gu Yi like that. When Gu Yi reached the departure gate, he paused and looked back. However, no one came to see him. Gu Yi sighed, feeling disappointed. Then he turned around and walked to the plane. But just at the moment Gu Yi passed the departure gate, Song Yunxuan rushed in, shouting at Gu Yi, “Gu Yi!” Gu Yi didn’t hear it. He disappeared from sight. Seeing that, Song Yunxuan still wanted to rush forward. But Mei Qi, who was standing next to her, held her back and said, “Manager Song.” Hearing that, Song Yunxuan collected her wits. Worrying that Song Yunxuan might be too excited, Mei Qi urged her, “It’s inappropriate for you to chase him now.” Song Yunxuan calmed down and slightly inclined her head, replying, “I know.” Song Yunxuan knew that she could not chase Gu Yi now because there was no reason for her to stop Gu Yi as he had boarded. Whether she could see Gu Yi didn’t seem important now. Mei Qi said to Song Yunxuan in a low voice, “If you want to see Gu Yi very much, I can arrange a time for you to go to Harbor City.” Song Yunxuan was going to nod and say yes, but she shook her head because she suddenly remembered her present situation when meeting Mei Qi’s gaze. She said, “No need.” Mei Qi doubted, “Are you sure, Manager Song?” Song Yunxuan nodded, replying, “Yes. I’m pretty sure.” Now the priority was to deal with Shao Tianze. Song Yunxuan could see Gu Yi at any time if she wanted to. It was just that Song Yunxuan had an unreasoning sense of anxiety after Gu Yi and Miaomiao had been separated. Song Yunxuan wanted to see Gu Yi before he left Yuncheng because she wanted to tell Gu Yi not to worry about Miaomiao and take good care of himself. Since Song Yunxuan failed to see Gu Yi, she could not tell him that in person. Nevertheless, Song Yunxuan could go to Harbor City later or tell Gu Yi about it on the phone. Song Yunxuan calmed down, turned to look at Mei Qi, and said, “Let’s go home.” Mei Qi nodded. Then he set off for the Song Family with Song Yunxuan. On the way home, Mei Qi had been paying attention to Song Yunxuan’s countenance and reaction. Noticing that Song Yunxuan kept her head down and seemed to be thinking about something, Mei Qi said, “Manager Song, I’ll arrange for someone to go to Harbor City to protect the young master.” “Good.” Song Yunxuan gently raised her hand and rubbed her brows. “Shall we return to the Song Family or the Song enterprise, Manager Song?” Seeing that it was almost time for Song Yunxuan to go to work, Mei Qi asked Song Yunxuan where she would like to go. Looking at her watch, Song Yunxuan answered, “To the Song enterprise.” Hearing that, Mei Qi turned the wheel and drove Song Yunxuan to the Song enterprise. Song Yunxuan felt tired as she got up early in the morning to hurry to the airport. So she raised her hand and softly rubbed her brows. “Rough night?” “Not too bad.” Having said that, Song Yunxuan still had dreams. She woke up in the middle of the night, and it seemed that she dimly saw Chu Mochen again in her dream. Though Chu Mochen went missing, there was no sign of his body. The New Yerk Airport had already published the death notice and had acquiesced that the victims had died. However, as long as Song Yunxuan did not see Chu Mochen’s body, she felt Chu Mochen was still alive. Or it might be possible that he now stayed in some other places on the planet. Or he might be somewhere overseas. In brief, Song Yunxuan didn’t believe Chu Mochen had died. Thinking of this, Song Yunxuan gently raised her hand and stroked her flat belly. Noticing that from the rearview mirror, Mei Qi sighed. He knew that the dream Song Yunxuan had last night was probably about Chu Mochen. So Mei Qi didn’t ask Song Yunxuan any more questions. When they reached the gate of the Song enterprise, they noticed that a large group of journalists had gathered there. Every one of them was holding a microphone, waiting for Song Yunxuan’s arrival. Meanwhile, the photographers beside the journalists began to focus their cameras on the car that Song Yunxuan was in. It seemed they were certain that the one sitting in Mei Qi’s car was Song Yunxuan. Seeing the car was about to stop, the journalists flocked to it. Song Yunxuan frowned, feeling disgusted, “Why are they here again?” Mei Qi pressed his lips, pondered for a moment, and replied, “Actually, they got nothing to report. But early this morning, while you were still asleep, Lu Feng announced his engagement to you.” Song Yunxuan’s frown deepened, “This morning? Lu Feng is really great at picking times!” Obviously, Song Yunxuan was unsatisfied with the time at which Lu Feng chose to announce their engagement. Therefore, Song Yunxuan wasn’t in the mood for interviews. She said to Mei Qi baldly, “Ignore them.” Mei Qi nodded, started the car, and drove away from the front gate under the protection of the security of the Song enterprise. … The announcement Lu Feng made spread very fast. Everyone in Yuncheng knew it within half a day. The media in Yuncheng really fulfilled their roles. Moments after Gu Changle began to be happy about Gu Yi’s leaving, she received the news that Lu Feng was engaged to Song Yunxuan. Then she called Shao Tianze lest he might not get the news. After receiving Gu Changle’s call, Shao Tianze said, “I have known it.” Gu Changle frowned, asking, “So what should we do?” “Let’s wait and see.” Shao Tianze knew that Lu Feng would side with Song Yunxuan and help her when he saw that Lu Feng was being close to Song Yunxuan in the evening banquet. However, he didn’t expect that Lu Feng would marry Song Yunxuan and announce their engagement this quickly. Hearing that, Gu Changle replied worriedly, “Shall we come up with a way to screw it up?” “How? I’m listening.” Shao Tianze said. Gu Changle replied, frowning, “Song Yunxuan has many skeletons in the cupboard. I don’t believe Lu Feng can tolerate all of them. As long as one of Song Yunxuan’s scandals disgusts Lu Feng, Song Yunxuan will be in disgrace with Lu Feng.” “Changle.” Shao Tianze cut Gu Changle off as he thought Gu Changle was a bit stupid when hearing her idea. Hearing Shao Tianze calling her name, Gu Changle felt confused, asking, “What?” “Do you know why Lu Feng wants to marry Song Yunxuan?” “He can’t possibly like Song Yunxuan, right?” “No, Lu Feng may not like Song Yunxuan.” Gu Changle thought so, too. After all, though Song Yunxuan was beautiful, she was not the most attractive one in the evening banquet. So there was only one possible explanation, which was that Lu Feng and Song Yunxuan’s marriage was win-win cooperation. Realizing that, Gu Changle answered Shao Tianze, “Lu Feng, such a crippled man, wants to cooperate with Song Yunxuan, right?” Hearing Gu Changle’s words, Shao Tianze asked her, “Since you know their marriage is win-win cooperation, do you still think it’s useful to tell Lu Feng Song Yunxuan’s scandals?” Words failed Gu Changle. Indeed, Lu Feng and Song Yunxuan were going to take advantage of each other. As long as they could gain something that they wanted from the other, they would not care about how many scandals the other had. Though Gu Changle appeared to be quick-witted when fighting against her love rivals for Shao Tianze’s favor, she was short-sighted when dealing with such kinds of things. Shao Tianze didn’t want to continue talking with Gu Changle about the Shao enterprise, so he said, “Have a good rest. I have a meeting to hold.” Gu Changle also felt that this phone call was redundant, but she still wanted Shao Tianze to dote on and care about her more when speaking with him. “Tianze, when can you come to the hospital?” “I have an important meeting to hold today. I may not be able to go there in the day.” “So how about at night?” Gu Changle knew that Shao Tianze would always coax her daughter to sleep at night. After Miaomiao and Gu Yi returned, Gu Changle felt that Shao Tianze had been paying less and less attention to her than before. In the final analysis, it was because Shao Tianze began to care about Miaomiao a lot. Gu Changge enjoyed all of Shao Tianze’s love and care while she was alive and left a daughter to share Shao Tianze’s love with Gu Changle after she died. The more Gu Changle thought about it, the angrier she got. At this moment, Shao Tianze said, “I’ll see you after Miaomiao falls asleep.” “But I’ll also be asleep by then.” Gu Changle implored as she felt that she was slighted, “The nurses can coax Miaomiao to sleep. Besides, Shao Xue can take care of her. Could you spare one night for me?” However, Shao Tianze wasn’t moved by Gu Changle’s coquetry this time. He simply said, “Yi went to the Harbor City today, and I didn’t tell Miaomiao about it. She may feel uncomfortable and make a fuss at home tonight, so I need to explain to her about it.” Gu Changle’s fingers grasped her sheet, and her face clouded over with anger. Shao Tianze cared about his daughter all day and didn’t care about her at all. Gu Changle pressed her lips, and she was annoyed with Shao Tianze. She gritted her teeth and pondered for a while. Suddenly, it seemed that she came up with a good idea. Gu Changle said, “Bring Miaomiao to the hospital. I’ll help you talk her around.”
