Hello Mr. King

Chapter 337: Change is Just A Sentence Away

“Why don’t you take the call?” If you decided to let him go with just a warning, why are you dragging this on and making him unhappier?

Yun Xiangxiang didn’t think Song Mian was one to drag things out.

“You will know why soon.” Song Mian kissed Yun Xiangxiang.

“Xiangxiang!” Before Yun Xiangxiang could say anything, Song Meng called her loudly from outside.

Yun Xiangxiang trotted outside and met Song Meng at the door, and Song Meng gave Yun Xiangxiang her phone. “Your phone rang a few times, and there’s no caller ID shown, so it must be someone here. I don’t think it’s a wrong number, so they are probably in a hurry.”

Yun Xiangxiang took her phone and looked at the screen, as the “Lotus of the Buddha”—her ringtone—played. She looked at Song Mian.

She swiped the screen and took the call, and Eric heaved a sigh of relief, but then he hurriedly said, “Yun, my family and I are fine with giving you the golden diamond as compensation, but I hope this matter ends here. Is that possible?”

Song Mian didn’t hear what Eric said, and he nodded to Yun Xiangxiang when their eyes met.

“Mr. Eric, this matter ends here,” said Yun Xiangxiang sincerely.

“Thank you.” Eric genuinely thanked her.

They were smart men. Qi Jun couldn’t do anything when Song Mian refused the call, and that slip of paper he left told Eric what he had to do.

Song Mian wanted him to beg Yun Xiangxiang, and he wanted Eric to know that Song Mian only slapped them on the wrist and did not damage them because Yun Xiangxiang asked him not to.

As long as Eric knew what was right and wrong, he would keep everyone in the Cardicra Family in line and forbid them from ever harming Yun Xiangxiang.

After hanging up, tears welled up in Yun Xiangxiang’s eyes. She flew into Song Mian’s embrace, not caring that Song Meng was here.

She hugged him tightly, as words couldn’t describe how touched she felt now.

Song Meng might be a silly girl, but she could feel that this was different, and she left silently, without teasing them.

Song Mian wrapped Yun Xiangxiang in his powerful arms, and he took in the fragrance that radiated from her hair.

The news turned around after lunchtime, saying that last night’s event was just an internal test on Cardi’s security system.

Eric took a lot of personnel to the company himself that night, so even if he said he was evaluating his staff, no one could prove he was lying either.

Nobody could do anything even if they didn’t believe it, since Cardi didn’t lose any jewels, and the golden diamond was Eric’s thank-you gift for GGS’ heir.

GGS was no stranger to upper-class society as it was an international medical organization. Word had it that nobody in the world could cure the deadly disease that the master of the world’s most powerful family contracted, but GGS’ boss managed it.

Song Meng cooperated by recording the video of the golden diamond’s gifting. He didn’t show his face throughout the recording and only showed his hand as he signed his name beside the golden diamond.

Everyone believed this was true since Cardi wouldn’t get an impostor to do this. They would offend GGS otherwise.

Cardi chose to do the evaluation late at night because they found out there were spies from their company’s competitors.

They couldn’t say who that competitor was since they didn’t have any evidence, but everyone was smart. They only needed to think about which company was the most delighted and attacked Cardi the most when this news broke out, and that would be their answer.

“So they not only saved their image but also got their share prices back up. They publicly declared that they gifted a golden diamond to such a powerful man as a show of friendship. This will be a huge blow for their competitors.”

After Yun Xiangxiang saw what happened, she had to admit that she would humble herself and throw away her dignity to beg Song Mian too if she was in Eric’s place.

She was once again impressed by Song Mian’s power of creating massive change with a single sentence.

Since Cardi got so many benefits, they couldn’t hate Song Mian for it.

Either that or they didn’t dare to, since the twists and turns of this event were enough for Eric to understand how cruel Song Mian could be.

Yun Xiangxiang didn’t know that this warning by Song Mian helped her get through another danger.

When Eric was done with everything and saw that his business was back on track, he trudged home and wanted to see Faye.

He wanted to tell her what happened yesterday and today so that she would know how much of a disaster she had caused.

But he stumbled upon Faye taking prohibited drugs, and he chastised her, “I want you to fight fair and square in the match tomorrow. Even if you lose, you are still a child of the Cardicra Family, but if you do such a disappointing thing once more, then I might hope you stay in there forever.”

“Father!” Faye looked at Eric incredulously.

“You stay at home. You still don’t know how much damage the family has sustained because of your recklessness...” Eric told her weakly about what happened.

After hearing the story, Faye plopped down on the ground dejectedly. She shook her head absentmindedly as she refused to believe what happened. “Impossible. We are the Cardicra Family...”

She was the Cardicra Family princess, and even actual royalty was polite to her since she was a child.

She had always thought she had enough power to do everything recklessly...

“It’s all our fault, both your mother and I.” Eric blamed himself for what happened.

He gave her the best treatment and let her grow up thinking she was better than everyone else. As she was also a great businessperson, nobody was disrespectful to Faye.

In Faye’s twenty-odd years of life, she had everything she wanted, and she never tasted how failure felt like.

Eric’s father even forced someone who once corrected Faye to death.

After giving the wrong guidance to Faye, and coupling that up with the perception that the Cardicra Family protected her, Faye didn’t have to face anyone she didn’t like.

But they had forgotten that there would always be someone better than they were.

“Father...” Faye noticed Eric’s defeated look, and he wasn’t as dashing as he used to look.

She finally discovered that her father had a lot more grey hair now compared to a month ago.

His aged look stung her eyes, and she recalled how her father would use all his free time to be by her side, no matter how busy she was.

Every time she caused trouble, she would go to her grandfather, and he would always protect her.

After being indulged and crossing all the lines, Faye thought the whole world should revolve around her.

When she met Song Mian, she thought that only a king like Song Mian was worthy of a girl like her.

She never looked at other men from then on, and she would always compare them to Song Mian. The more she did that, the more obsessed she was...

But Song Mian didn’t like her. Since this was the first time she was rejected and the first time someone treated her with disdain, she wanted to have him even more.

But Song Mian knew how to avoid her, so she didn’t have many chances where she could appear in front of him.

She did not expect the man, who would never be moved by a woman, to have fallen in love.
