Chapter 708: Four Shadows of Rose (4)
On the day when Ningbo University's final exams ended, Song Yuesheng was invited to a cafe near the school.
Here, she met Pei's mother.
Song Yuesheng turned off her phone and gently turned the coffee cup with her fingertips: "Aunt, you didn't come to me to ask about my relationship, did you?"
"One million, leave my son alone."
A check was pushed across the table, its edge making a slight scraping sound on the solid wood surface.
Song Yuesheng lowered his eyes and looked. The seven zeros were arranged neatly, and the ink was so fresh that he could almost smell it.
The lady opposite had her Chanel handbag lifted three centimeters, as if staying there for one more second would tarnish her identity.
"Your son is only worth this much money in your eyes."
Song Yuesheng's chuckle fell into a champagne glass like crushed ice.
The sun shone through her eyelashes, casting a feathery shadow on her cheek.
She suddenly remembered the financial report she saw on Pei Zhaoye's computer the day before yesterday. This figure was only half a day's turnover of one of Pei's subsidiaries.
The other party actually had a good plan.
Block her now and save time looking for her later.
Moreover, the New Year was approaching, and the Pei family would never allow her to go back with Pei Zhaoye with her background.
Now is the best time to kill time.
If the other party is sincere, she will leave.
Right now...
Mother Pei's brows twitched slightly.
She had imagined many reactions - crying bitterly, tearing up the victim in anger, or even kneeling down to beg for mercy, but she had never expected this kind of calmness tinged with mockery.
This realization made the wedding ring on her ring finger suddenly feel heavy.
"What did you say?" Pei's mother's voice suddenly rose.
She immediately realized her mistake, quickly adjusted her breathing, picked up her coffee and took a sip to hide her emotions.
Bitterness spread across her tongue, much stronger than what she usually drank.
The corners of Song Yuesheng's lips curled up in a perfect arc.
"It's not that I can't leave. At least increase it tenfold, to 10 million." Her voice was as light as if she was discussing today's weather. "For the Pei family, this little money is easy to come up with, right?"
The coffee cup hit the saucer heavily, and a few drops of dark brown liquid splashed out, forming a few ugly flowers on the snow-white tablecloth.
Cracks finally appeared on Pei's mother's well-maintained face, and fine lines at the corners of her eyes became obvious in her anger.
"Wishful thinking!" She squeezed out these four words from between her teeth, and her lipstick-coated lips were stretched into a straight line.
Song Yuesheng leaned back in his chair calmly, flicked his fingertips lightly on the edge of the check, and the paper made a crisp sound.
"Then Auntie, we have nothing to talk about."
She pretended to stand up, and the metal chain on her wrist gleamed coldly in the sunlight.
Pei's mother suddenly pressed her hand. The bracelet was cold at night, but it made Pei's mother think of some ferocious beast ready to attack.
She retracted her hand as if she had been electrocuted, and took out a wet wipe from her Hermès bag and wiped it.
"Want to enter the Pei family?" Pei's mother sneered, her voice was very low, but every word was as sharp as a knife.
"To tell you the truth, a woman like you is only fit to be kept outside. If Zhaoye wants to marry, he must be a daughter of the Su family. Who do you think you are?"
[Beep——]
[Trigger the key plot: Break up with Pei Zhaoye within five weeks, leave Ning City secretly, and come back four years later. If you violate the rules, the mission will fail immediately. Countdown 35 days 23:59:59.]
Song Yuesheng: ...
What kind of bloody plot is this?
It's just like those old TV dramas, except now she's the heroine who gets torn apart.
All in all, it was only five weeks.
Song Yuesheng sat back down, smiled and raised her eyes: "Aunt, if you give me 10 million now, I will buy a plane ticket and leave immediately without any delay."
"but……"
"If you don't give it to me now, it won't be just 10 million if you want me to leave in the future."
Ten million plus her current savings are enough for her to live a comfortable life abroad for four years.
These words were too abrupt, causing Pei's mother to straighten her back in alertness.
But after thinking of something, he suddenly laughed.
"If Zhaoye knew that you approached him just for money..." Pei's mother laughed as if she was watching a good show, with fine lines appearing at the corners of her eyes, "Do you think he would still look at you?"
Unexpectedly, Song Yuesheng burst out laughing.
She held her chin with her hand, curling her hair with her fingertips, like a girl talking about her first love: "He knows."
"Not only does he know that I'm after his money, he also knows that I'm after his body."
"you--"
Pei's mother slammed the table and her handbag knocked over the coffee cup. The brown liquid flowed all over the table and soaked the million-dollar check.
Song Yuesheng stood up slowly, wrote down his cell phone number, and put the note aside.
"Auntie. This phone number is for your convenience so that you can call me at any time to ask me to leave. However, the money I have to pay to ask me to leave will change over time."
"You'd better be mentally prepared."
Mother Pei's chest heaved with anger.
But she still maintained the demeanor of a wealthy lady.
She said: "Little girl, being too arrogant will lead to a bad fall. Since you don't know what's good for you..."
The unspoken words betrayed a threat.
"Aunt, you have to think about it. Whether you hire someone to kidnap me or do anything to me, I will take it back from your son." Song Yuesheng lowered his voice, "Aunt, which one do you think hurts more, physical injury or emotional injury?"
"Get out! Now!"
Pei's mother's finger, which was pointing at the door, was trembling slightly, and the diamond ring reflected a cold light in the sunlight.
Song Yuesheng picked up her handbag elegantly, and before leaving, she did not forget to push the coffee-soaked check back to Pei's mother.
Pei's mother was furious.
She felt that the website was deliberately looking for a woman like Song Yuesheng, wanting her to enter the Pei family and then control the entire Pei family.
dream!
She's just a scheming woman, there are many like her in Ning City.
Since she dares to threaten the Pei family, let her experience what it means to live a life worse than death.
And outside the cafe.
Song Yuesheng pressed and held the power button, and the moment the screen lit up, the phone began to vibrate wildly.
999+ missed call notifications came like a tide.
The latest message was displayed three minutes ago:
[Song Song, answer the phone.]
Song Yuesheng sighed barely audibly.
Given his current situation, if she wants to leave, there must be a very suitable time.
Song Yuesheng didn't send the location until he walked under the familiar street light at the gate of Ningbo University.
As soon as the message showed as read, hurried footsteps were heard in the distance.
Pei Zhaoye almost ran to appear in front of her.
His hair was messy, two buttons on his coat were out of place, and he was holding the car keys in his left hand.
"Where have you been?" His voice was hoarse. He reached out to touch her but stopped in mid-air. "I looked for all the places you might have been, even involving the police..."
Song Yuesheng stared at the tips of his ears that were blown red by the cold wind, and suddenly reached out to straighten the collar of his coat, and her cold fingertips inadvertently rubbed his Adam's apple.
"Want to hear the truth or lies?"
Pei Zhaoye's Adam's apple rolled.
He grabbed her hand that was about to be withdrawn and said softly, "I don't want you to lie to me."
Song Yuesheng suddenly laughed, and the teardrop mole at the end of her eye was particularly vivid under the light: "I just met your mother."
She felt the warmth coming from her palm.
"She gave me one million to leave you, but I said it was too little and asked for ten million." Song Yuesheng paused, "Then... I left."
Pei Zhaoye was stunned for a moment, then suddenly lowered his head and laughed. The laughter made their clasped hands tremble slightly: "Ten million is too little."
He raised his eyes, his eyes filled with the tiny light of the street lamp, "You should add a 'billion' at the end."
"You're cheating your own family like this?"
Song Yuesheng raised her eyebrows, but was pulled into his arms.
Pei Zhaoye wrapped her cold body in a warm coat, and rested his chin on the top of her head: "How can I give money to a money-grubber like you if I don't cheat you?"
There was a smile in his voice, but his arms were tightly held.
"My mother will come to you next time..."
"I'm just asking for 100 billion?"
Song Yuesheng laughed in his arms, "I think your mother will be more certain that I'm crazy."
She deliberately rubbed his Adam's apple with the tip of her nose and felt the arms around her suddenly stiffen.
"Do not."
Pei Zhaoye suddenly let go of her, held her face and said seriously: "Just tell her -"
He stroked his thumb across her slightly cool cheek.
"Pei Zhaoye will rely on Song Yuesheng for the rest of his life, no matter how much money he gives, it won't work."
The night wind blew up the fallen leaves on the ground, and the sound of rolling suitcases and laughter in the distance intertwined into the unique noise before the winter vacation.
Song Yuesheng looked at his eyes reflecting the light and smiled, "Are you ready to give yourself to me as compensation?"
"Ah."
"you sure?"
Pei Zhaoye nodded: "No matter how much money my mother gives you, it's not as practical as what I give you. Money will run out one day. Song Song, it's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. You should understand..."
When he uttered the word "understand", meeting Song Yuesheng's foxy eyes, Pei Zhaoye suddenly reacted and covered her eyes in shame and anger.
"Song Yuesheng, can you please put some serious things in your mind!"
"You seduce me with your face and kiss me every day, and you don't allow me to think about it?"
"do not talk!"
Pei Zhaoye grabbed Song Yuesheng's hand and walked towards the parking space.
Hearing the triumphant laughter of the person behind him, his ears turned red, but he held her hand even tighter.
As if we could go on like this forever.
But.
Some things are a carefully planned drama from the moment you meet.
