Fall in love with your enemy

Continuing from the last time, my uncle came to Malaysia unexpectedly, on the anniversary of my aunt’s death. But the worst-case scenario was those two scenarios, and there was nothing I couldn’t accept, so I got over it quickly.

After breakfast, Chengcheng and her uncle went to Huayan to discuss cooperation. In fact, the Song family only had a few requirements. Our family was in charge of Linjiang's food, clothing, housing and transportation. She had just arrived and it was impossible for her to participate in everything immediately, so she planned to start with catering. Several of her catering projects needed support from my family.

I am not very clear about the messy things like opening a store in China, selecting stores, marketing and promotion, business endorsements, introducing investments, purchasing and operations, etc., but that's it. After the foundation is laid, the Song family will gradually take over, open up the domestic market, and then slowly move on to other industries after it becomes bigger. Our family's requirements for the Song family are basically the same, except that the catering business has been changed to electronic technology. My family has always been lacking in this area. If we can establish relationships and reach cooperation with many foreign research laboratories, it will be of great help in the future.

My uncle went with Chengcheng, so there was no need for me to follow him. Originally, my role was just to keep an eye on Song Jie. When I had nothing to do, I would play with the cats and dogs in the house. On a whim, I wanted to learn flower arrangement, but unfortunately I messed up a lot and it didn't look good at all, so I just threw it aside. I don't know if it was telepathy between sisters or if Gao Xinci sent her undercover. Lulu sneaked into the hotel to find me after a while. I have to say she really can't lie. Her acting expression is so fake!

"Shishi, you said we haven't seen each other for a long time, but you don't seem to miss me at all! This really hurts my heart, okay--" She said this in an exaggerated manner, looking around the room.

I followed the direction of her gaze and looked around the room, then squinted at her: "There's no one else in this room except me. Chengcheng left early in the morning. I wanted to find him at Huayan. If you're sorry, I can check the surveillance for you."

"Tsk! I didn't mean that..." She felt relieved and disappointed at the same time. The two expressions mixed together were really awkward. It took her a long time to swallow her emotions. She put her hands on her hips and pretended to be serious: "I really came here to see you! I broke up with him, so why would I want to see him!"

"I'm more inclined to believe that you're Gao Xinci's undercover agent. Also, we see each other every day, and I don't think you look any different in real life than in your phone." I shrugged and threw the spent flowers into the trash can. "Tell me, what did he ask you to do?"

Lulu pursed her lips. Since she was exposed, she simply stopped pretending: "Then I'll be frank! Shishi, it's really impossible for you to get back together with Lao Gao? How could you really be with Teacher Lin? You were so reluctant to break up with Lao Gao. Although I can't tell you now, Lao Gao really has never forgotten you. He doesn't like Song Fei, and he won't marry Song Fei. You can definitely get back together after it's done! In fact, it's only three years. You have a successful career and he has made a comeback. These three years can actually be waited out..."

"Lulu, do you think I could have predicted the current situation three years ago?" I interrupted her and asked.

Lulu was stunned. It was obviously impossible. No one had the ability to predict the future. Even though Gao Xinci, Cheng Cheng and I were all reborn, we were still walking on unfamiliar roads. We could rely on the memories of our previous lives to avoid some risks, but life is not static.

I smiled bitterly, "Yes, three years doesn't sound long, but it's still 1095 days. Gao Xin resigned to pursue his career, and I fully support him, but he can't let me not consider my own future after I separate from him. I am with Mo Du because my family wants me to do so. Otherwise, it's Feng Shizhi. They want me to have a child, and the father of the child must be chosen from these two people."

"Feng Shizhi is the head of the family who grew up. He can still live well without me, but Mo Du will definitely die without me. You must have heard some stories about what will happen to a useless person in the Fu family, right? Even I almost became like that, so does it really matter whether you love him or not?"

"We just want to save our lives, and add a little more affection on top of that, and we just hope that life can get better and better. Lulu, I have no backup. As long as I still have a little hope, I won't do anything against my will, and I'm not afraid of waiting. Not to mention three years, even five or ten years, as long as Gao Xinci still lets me go a little, I can wait for him. But at that time, my life will really collapse completely. Even if I don't consider myself, I can even end my own life. What about the eldest house behind me? You know all of Chengcheng's flaws. Yangyang is too young and disabled. I'm the only one left. My father spent thirty years to build this empire. Am I going to throw it away casually?"

"Let me tell you the truth, and you can also convey my exact words to Gao Xinci. I love him, and I may not be able to love Mo Du as much as before, but for me, love has never been everything in life. It is hard enough for me to protect the person I love. I don't care what he prepared for the wedding in order to be with me. I only know that I have not let him down, and I have the right to choose a life that is more beneficial to me. No matter how good he is, I cannot owe others for him. In this relationship between Mo Du and I, I am already a vested interest, and he has paid everything, so I can't abandon him. I have to be responsible for the benefits I have gained. His intimacy with me in any situation, or his mention of you, will only embarrass me."

After I said that, I took a deep breath and reached out to unbutton my clothes, revealing all the wounds under Lulu's gaze. Her jaw almost dropped in surprise, and she couldn't help but reach out and poke me.

"Mo Du and I have already slept together. He is not blind, he can see. I don't want my marriage to have any more fluctuations. Cheng Cheng and I have lived in fear for three years. It is much better than the initial embarrassment, but we still don't have the ability to be on par with the other two rooms. I can't stand any more hardships, so please, Lulu, tell him that I can't turn back."

"How come you have so many wounds! These look... fresh. Did he hit you?!" Lulu was shocked and angry, and she looked like she was going to run out and hit someone in the next second. I quickly pulled her back.

"I did it myself. I broke the bathroom mirror and it fell to the floor. He didn't blame me. Instead of being angry at me, I felt more ashamed." I turned my back, put on my clothes, and kept cutting the flowers in my hand.

I did mix in some lies, but only if I make up my mind, will Gao Xinci have the possibility to give up.

"Okay, I respect your decision. I won't get involved in this matter anymore. Don't hurt yourself. I really don't know when Gao Xinci will come to you about this... I'm going to beat him up when I get back! I'm going to avenge you, okay?" Lulu grabbed my arm with a flattering smile.

Adhering to the principle that love does not affect friendship, I have no reason to be rude to her. And to be honest, being a friend of a couple is indeed the most deceptive thing in the world, especially when the friends are people like me and Gao Xinci who love to make trouble...

I bit my lip and pulled Lulu to look at my flowers: "Don't mention that, it's not important. Help me see how to arrange these flowers beautifully."

"I'm a jewelry designer and you want me to arrange flowers? Aren't you forcing me to do something I shouldn't do? Besides, why are you learning this? The gardener has run away from home." Lulu changed her sentimental expression and tone and glanced at me helplessly.

"I'm here to learn and cultivate my sentiments. I'm free anyway, and the decoration of this hotel is so vulgar. I'll use the products of nature to improve its feng shui."

"Phew - for this thing, you'd better find a florist, otherwise it's like a mountain between two different fields. I can only wish you success." Lulu shrugged.

I thought for a while and realized that she was just insulting me. Sure enough, after one of the preparatory moves of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, she disappeared. I raised my leg and chased her!

"Catch me if you can! If you can outrun me, I'll pay for your ten years of flower arrangement classes, OK?"

"Hey! Things change over time. Do you think I'm still the little Karami who ran the 800-meter race in 6.5 minutes by Daming Lake? You're wrong. I'm running under 5 minutes now!"

"Are you kidding? How can the champion of the 4.5-minute decadent group be defeated by you? Ahhhh——"

We ran around the table for a long time, but I couldn't even catch a piece of the person's clothes. It seems that this half-minute difference is very important. I am so old but my arms and legs are old. I really need to practice more...

"I'm so tired! I can't do it anymore and can't run anymore..." We stood at each end of the table, staring at each other, and finally took a step back and admitted defeat. The only bottle of Coke on the table was decided by rock-paper-scissors. I grabbed a handful, opened the lid and felt the baptism of the carbonated drink.

Cool--

Miss Hanlu, who lost, pouted and expressed her envy: "Be gentle, can you leave some for me?"

"No, it's just a bottle of drink. There are plenty of them downstairs. I'll ask someone to bring it up to you later." I said with a pout.

However, Miss Hanlu was still not satisfied. She pursed her lips and pondered for a long time before making a "tsk" sound: "Shishi, actually, I feel like I have a very strange problem."

"What's wrong?"

"It's just that there are some things that I don't really care about that much. I know there are more and better ones that can be obtained at any time, but I still like them..." She stretched out her tone and quietly walked to my side. As soon as I squinted at her, she suddenly stretched out her hand and snatched the Coke and ran away! She also laughed a long string of gloating laughter: "Hey, hey! I just like to grab the bottle in other people's hands~"

“Hey, you’re a really unreasonable person…” I was about to chase after him when there was a knock on the door behind me.

Lulu's expression changed immediately. She straightened her clothes on the spot and even put on some makeup during this short period of time. I was stunned by her enthusiasm. But is there a possibility that it is still too early for Chengcheng to come back?

The person who came in was Tong Hua. After she bowed hurriedly, Lulu collapsed. I almost couldn't help laughing, so I turned around and signaled to Tong Hua that there was no outsider around and she could just speak frankly.

"Miss, my brother-in-law said he took the young master out to see a doctor in the early morning, and he hasn't come back yet. I was able to contact him half an hour ago, and I asked him if I wanted to send breakfast to the young master. My brother-in-law said no, he would take the young master back right away. But I called and sent a message again, but he didn't reply. I asked Dean Lu and he said they had left a long time ago, and before they left, they ran into the Song family who said they were coming to pick them up..." Tong Ya said anxiously and panickedly.

"The Song family? Again?" Lulu sneered, then turned to look at my expression and comforted me, "The Song family isn't that stupid. They've even reached the Chen family's doorstep and been seen by everyone. They won't be that high."

"That's not necessarily true..." I felt a lump in my throat, as if something was unsettled. I called in Li Shirong who was guarding the door and asked, "How did Chengcheng talk with the Song family this morning? Was there any disagreement?"

"No, everything is peaceful. Besides, even if there is, the Third Master is still watching." Li Shirong said after a moment of silence.

Cheng Cheng, I've always been at ease, but how can business talks be peaceful? This is the reason why I feel something is wrong. The Song family has been declining in recent years and is eager to find someone to boost their power. I'm afraid they will do something desperate. Even if this is the stupidest thing to do, I dare not take that one in ten thousand chance.

"Uncle Li, take your men out to look for Modu and Yangyang now, and try not to let any news out. Once you find them, keep an eye on the Song family's movements. I want to see what they are doing. If you can't find them, go to Huayan immediately and tie up Song Chuanyang for me." I ordered.

"Ah? Why are they all tying up Song Chuanyang?" Lulu broke the atmosphere and poked her head out to ask in confusion.

I glanced at her, and after a little thought, I understood where her "again" came from. Gao Xinci was probably the same. I glanced at her and said helplessly, "I don't like him."

"Old Gao is like this too. Did you make enemies with him behind my back?" Lulu frowned and thought.

There is no need to talk about Song Chuanyang in the previous life. He is not innocent in this life either. I don’t bother to care about what he did to force Song Fei to go against me three years ago. He also did a lot of trouble in the days that followed. It’s not that he hasn’t returned to China. I don’t care about him at work. I have always admired people who are motivated, but he doesn’t do his job. Most of the time when he comes back, he is chasing me and saying things like “Aren’t you unwilling to see Gao Xinci and Song Fei together? Why don’t we try to make them angry too?” I was dumbfounded and refused several times. When he couldn’t catch up with me, he broke down and went crazy, and led me and Song Fei to meet and fight. Song Fei was originally a normal girl, but she came to make trouble for me because of his nonsense. Now I really want to beat him up when I see him.

As soon as he finished speaking, there were footsteps at the door. Jiang Yinan walked in holding the sleeping Yangyang. He waved his hand, and most of the people from the Song family left. Only one person came in to get things done. He chuckled and said, "We're fine. I know him, so I said a few more words to him." After that, Jiang Yinan pointed to the Song family member behind him.

"Know him?" I asked puzzledly. When did he come to Malaysia?

But he nodded anyway.

Seeing that he didn't look very well, after all, I hadn't explained to him what happened last night, and I was afraid he still remembered it, so I didn't ask any more questions.

Lulu was a little embarrassed, but she nodded and greeted him out of courtesy: "Teacher Lin."

"Miss Han." Jiang Yinan returned the greeting with a stiff smile. He never showed disapproval to outsiders for no reason, especially to his former students, so I knew that the cold face was directed at me.

Lulu soon felt that the situation was very awkward, and she didn't want to get involved in what was happening between us. She looked back at me and made a gesture to slip away. I really wanted to hold her back, but unfortunately I couldn't do that in her current condition.

Tong Hua and the others were even more worldly-wise, so they hid quickly after seeing the ways of the world. They disappeared before Lulu. The door closed with a click, and Jiang Yinan and I were the only ones left in the room.

He stood there for a while, but I still didn't know what to say, so I could only turn my back and pretend to be calm, continuing to fiddle with the flowers in my hand. I muttered something for a long time but I couldn't understand it myself. I waited for him to come closer, walking slowly.

Suddenly he hugged me tightly from behind. Even though I was prepared, I was still startled. My hand that was holding the branch was pierced and I groaned softly. This time he was not anxious when he saw it. He just pried open my stiff fingers little by little, found the injured one, slowly lifted it up and put it in his mouth.

Blood stained his lips, and I slowly turned around to look at him. He was licking the blood with relish. There was obviously only a small spot at the corner of his mouth stained red, but it seemed as if his entire body was covered in it. I was a little scared, so I lowered my head and swallowed.

But after a long while, he just sighed, hooked my cheek and said, "Shishi, it's still early for the wedding, why don't we get the marriage certificate first."
