Chapter 295 - I Just Like You
Chapter 295: I Just Like You
Song Chuyi walked over, and when he saw Robben, his face became black.
Forget about Lolita—she had grown a lot and looked just like a wolfdog, while Robben, who used to look suave, had gained so much weight that his neck almost disappeared. “How did he get so fat?”
Changqing stroked Robben’s fat chin embarrassedly. “That just means that the food at our house is good. Auntie Zhang always feeds them this and that from time to time, and I often take them out for supper as well, so he got fat. However, he’s still quite cute. Right, Robben?”
Robben barked twice at her proudly.
Song Chuyi’s face was completely black. He said coldly, “Lose weight. Wait for me to come back and help him lose weight.”
Robben hung his head immediately, looking like an aggrieved child.
Changqing’s heart ached for him. She could already sense that the coming days for Robben would be very tough.
A pitiful one indeed. After such a long time, he was still afraid of Song Chuchu.
“Don’t scare him,” Changqing said as she bent down and hugged Robben.
Song Chuyi scoffed. Judging from just how she protected the dog, he didn’t believe that she really thought these two dogs interfered with her search for a partner.
“I’ll call you tomorrow. Sleep earlier.”
At around 3 pm the next day, Song Chuyi went to the station to pick her up. Changqing took some time off to rush to the Ministry of Trade and Commerce to fill in her particulars, accompanied by Lawyer Chang.
After she was done, they went to another company to sign the contract. Before they left the meeting room, Song Huaisheng came in in a huff. “Rong Chang, are you mad? You’re actually going to give the company’s shares to an outsider.”
Song Chuyi stood in front of Rong Chang. Rong Chang said lightly, “I’m not mad; I’m pretty well.”
“I think you’re sick. What are you doing back in China instead of staying in Europe?” Song Huaisheng was furious.
Changqing, who was hiding behind, was scared out of her wits. It was her first time seeing Song Huaisheng flaring up with such a temper, even worse than when Dai Ai fell.
Song Chuyi’s face became cold. He said crossly, “I’m warning you—watch your tone.”
“Did I need your permission to come back to China?” Rong Chang scoffed. “Does the country belong to you? I can come and go as and when I like. Song Huaisheng, I left my two sons to you back then because I trusted you, but what have you caused my two sons to become? Are you using them as tools?”
“You don’t know sh*t.” Song Huaisheng threw out coarse words once again. “Wasn’t I nice enough to them? I helped Chuyi with all my heart to become a hospital director and I made Chulang the CEO. They’re the ones who aren’t appreciative at all because of this Yan Changqing. You’re even going to transfer the shares to her now? I gave you the shares then so that you could leave them for our two sons, not for you to transfer them to someone else.”
“Changqing isn’t just anybody else—she’s the lawful wife of Chuyi and is in his household registration booklet. So what if I transfer the shares to her? Giving her the shares is akin to giving them to my future grandchildren. Even if I didn’t give them to Changqing, it’s up to me if I wanted to give them to a beggar on the streets. It’s none of your business.” Rong Chang continued walking forward after her sarcastic comments.
“Stop right there.” Song Huaisheng chased after her. Song Chuyi blocked his path and grabbed onto his arm, saying coldly, “I made Mom do that. If you or my brother dares to make trouble for the Yan Family again, I will sell these shares to your competitors. In any case, I’ve never cared for your company. Worse come to worst, we can all be unhappy together.”
“Song Chuyi, I’ve raised you up all these years for nothing.” Song Huaisheng was trembling from rage. “I had your well-being in mind, yet you’re going to use an outsider to deal with me like this?”
“I didn’t think you had my well-being in mind. You know what? Even if you raised a docile dog, if you force it into a corner, it will also bite. You can lead your life and I’ll lead mine in the future and we won’t have anything to do with each other. That way, I might still vote for you for the role of Chairman at the end of the year.” He let go of Song Huaisheng’s arm coldly and pulled Changqing along to catch up with Rong Chang.
“Fine, Song Chuyi. If you have what it takes, don’t look for me ever again,” Song Huaisheng said with exasperation.
Changqing’s legs went jelly from fright. “Chuyi, will things really be fine like that?”
“It’s fine.” Song Chuyi put his arm around her waist.
Although the procedures relating to the company were slightly more complicated and tedious, all Changqing had to do basically was sign.
When the procedures were almost done, Song Chulang walked into the meeting room impassionately. “Mom, are you really going to transfer all the shares to Yan Changqing? How long have you known her? Do you really trust her so much?”
There were many people in the office, and all of a sudden, everyone had their focus on Rong Chang.
Rong Chang had her head lowered and was reading the document in her hands. She looked up. “So what if I don’t trust her? So what if I trust her? I’m doing all this because I don’t want you to make trouble with Chuyi and Changqing anymore. Since I’ve given them the shares, they can do whatever they want with them. In any case, your dad and I are already divorced. I really don’t care what happens to his company and I don’t care for those yearly bonuses. The money I make is enough for me to spend for the rest of my life. Also, by right, half of the Song family shares are supposed to be yours, but Chuyi said he’s left the Song family and he doesn’t want anything from your dad, so you can have all of those shares. That way, I think it should be enough for you.”
Song Chulang’s cold face looked a little pale. “Mom, do you really think I care about the Song family shares?”
He did everything he did only because he hoped the Song family’s inheritance wouldn’t land in Dai Ai’s hands. He just didn’t want to make things easy for Dai Ai and her son.
Rong Chang let out a deep sigh. “Mom knows you’re not that kind of person. I know very well why you did all this. Like I said last time, is your purpose in life just to prevent these material things from landing in Dai Ai’s hands? Chulang, if I were like you, should I have used my life to threaten your dad to not get divorced in order to prevent Dai Ai from entering this family then?”
Other than the Song family members in the office, there were other people present as well. When they heard the mother and son talking about their private affairs, they all felt very awkward. All of a sudden, they didn’t know whether to leave or not.
However, Rong Chang didn’t seem to care. The glances from these people didn’t seem to matter to her. She continued, “As long as I didn’t get divorced, I could’ve gone on like that with your dad until I died. With my abilities, would you think Dai Ai could gain anything? Could she have taken on the role of Mrs. Song gloriously as she has now? It’s just that I wasn’t willing to do so. I was only in my 40s when I got the divorce and I felt that I still had a whole life ahead of me. I didn’t want to let Dai Ai ruin the other half of my life. Who’s Dai Ai? What abilities does she have? She’s young, pretty, and knows how to spend money. There are a bunch of women like her on the streets nowadays. Besides, there are so many plastic surgery internet celebrities nowadays. To me, this kind of woman is useless. Even one of my fingers is way better than her.”
Song Chulang was stunned.
Changqing’s heart thumped vigorously upon hearing that and she almost applauded Rong Chang.
Even her finger was better than Dai Ai. That was simply imposing.
She blinked. Suddenly, from the corner of her eye, she saw Song Huaisheng standing silently by the door. He was standing at a spot where only she could see him.
She wondered if Song Huaisheng would go mad if he heard her.
“Besides, what’s so good about your dad, that old man?” Rong Chang didn’t see him and carried on, “When he was young, he didn’t look bad. Who knew that upon returning this time, he’s lost so much hair and even has a tummy. A man in his 50s looks like he’s in his 60s. He’s narrow-minded and inflexible, even thinking that he’s very civilized. I’ve seen so many others of his age overseas who are way better than him. Sometimes, when I think back, I wonder why I was so blind to like a person like him...”
Song Huaisheng couldn’t listen on especially since she was saying that in front of so many people in the company. He subconsciously touched his head and walked in indignantly. “Rong Chang, who did you say looks like he’s 60 years old? I think no one would want a woman of your character. A woman in her 50s is a dried flower. Have you not gotten married for so many years because no one wants you?”
Changqing frowned. She didn’t think that Song Huaisheng could be so vicious when it came to scolding his wife. How ungentlemanly.
Although it didn’t seem appropriate for her to interrupt their quarrel, she still couldn’t resist. “Who said that? You have no idea—Mom is currently the most famous Chinese designer in Europe. Her style of dress and figure are simply as good as top models. She’s exceptionally charismatic. Everyone in the fashion world admires her.”
“Yan Changqing, who said you could interrupt when the seniors are talking?” Song Huaisheng shot her an irritated gaze.
Song Chuyi frowned and pulled Changqing behind him. “Changqing is telling the truth. Although... it’s true that I didn’t like how Mom left this family for her career back then, I’m still quite proud, especially when I say that Augustine Rong is my mom. To me, there are many Chinese like you who are chairmen of a company, but there’s only one top designer admired by all inside and outside of the country like my mom.”
“Chuyi...” Rong Chang watched him with her eyes slightly moist. She had always thought that her son hated her, but she never thought that he was actually proud of her. “It’s the first time Mom heard you say this. I’m really happy.”
Song Chuyi turned his face away slightly awkwardly.
Changqing looked at him and realized that her great Dr. Song’s ears were actually flushed.
How cute.
Alright, Dr. Song is shy after saying his heartfelt thoughts to his mom for the first time in front of so many people.
How great. He still has a mom while I don’t.
However, it’s not bad to have such an impressive mother-in-law.
Song Huaisheng lost all face once again. “Fine, now you’re all helping her deal with me right now. Rong Chang, you’re really something. Let me tell you—the biggest regret in my life is marrying you.”
“Thanks,” Rong Chang said lightly. “The thing I thank you the most for in this life is getting divorced with me. Also, I didn’t get remarried not because I didn’t have any suitors. I have young and matured men in their 30s and 40s chasing me, but I just had too many choices. After all, they’re all better than you. I’m simply spoiled for choices.”
Song Huaisheng’s facial muscles twitched. Rong Chang said amiably, “Relax, don’t be too agitated. Look at how much more wrinkles you get when you’re agitated. Your current wife doesn’t force you to do your skincare, right? I heard you even gave birth to a son recently. I hope that when you take your son out, others won’t think you’re his grandfather, but it’s okay, luckily Chuyi doesn’t want to have any contact with you anymore. If we continue at this rate, Changqing might be able to get pregnant next year. If they were to continue staying with the Song family, those not in the know might mix up who’s your son and who’s your grandson.”
