Chapter 197 Lin Qiuran's Trouble
Song Yafei closed her eyes and snuggled against me. "Here, take it all. Anything you want, anything I have, I'll give it to you."
She suddenly buried her face in my chest and murmured, "Zhang Tian, please don't leave. Stay and keep me company. You're the only one in my life now."
Her kitten-like voice seemed to scratch at my heart. Even though we had broken up, seeing her like this still made my heart ache.
If I could go back to her, I probably would have immediately held her in my arms and comforted her.
I know that what she said was true. To her, the Song family only had that perverted Mrs. Song, who had never let her experience the warmth of a family.
So that place was like a nightmare for her.
She has never had the kind of family affection that others envy, which is why she wants me to stay with her forever.
Because I can give him the warmth of a family and meticulous care.
But that was all in the past.
Not immediately refuting her was the last bit of kindness I could show her.
After a long silence, I finally had to make her accept reality.
"Yafei, we're already divorced. If you help me this time, I'll agree to whatever you want me to do."
What started as a tense deal ended in a rare harmony, no longer the painful experience of stabbing each other with sharp knives at the beginning.
Song Yafei raised her head, looked into my eyes, and said with utmost seriousness, "What I want is for you to come back."
My heart skipped a beat because her expression was so captivating and so sincere.
It would be a lie to say that I was completely unmoved.
But if you ask me to come back, I really can't deceive myself. I turned my head away, not wanting to be bewitched by her.
“I gave you a chance. From the time you first proposed the divorce to the final divorce, that was a long time. You may have changed your mind.”
"But in your eyes, I can never be at the top of your heart, not even second or third."
"You said your relationship with Yu Chengliang was just a fling, but you actually sent someone who hurt me abroad and even took care of him for the rest of his life."
"I think this is your choice, isn't it?"
"You always tell me to give you time, but you know perfectly well that what I lack most is time."
"Yafei, I'm really tired. Let's stop arguing, okay? If you can help me with this, I'll make a fair deal with you."
Anything I can give her, I'll give without hesitation.
My words made us both fall into deep thought.
Rather than hysterical arguments, it seems that words spoken so calmly are more persuasive.
Song Yafei stared at the ceiling, motionless, seemingly lost in thought.
I don't know what I'm thinking. I wanted to escape, but seeing her like this, I just wanted to lie quietly beside her.
Even if I say nothing and think nothing.
After an unknown amount of time, Song Yafei suddenly got up, went to the dressing room, put on a coat, and put on a mask.
"Come on, I'll take you back."
She gestured with her eyes to the documents on the sofa, "Remember to bring your things."
I was stunned. She seemed to have stated the conditions, but then again, she hadn't. But she gave me the documents.
In the moment I was stunned, Song Yafei called to me from the doorway, "Hurry up, I have something to tell you."
"coming!"
I quickly grabbed the documents and followed.
On the way back, Song Yafei didn't say a word. Although I couldn't see her face clearly, I could feel her coldness.
Is she angry?
She said she had something to talk to me about, but when we got to the apartment building, she didn't say a word.
I waited for a while, but she didn't make any move, so I prepared to open the car door and get out.
That's when I realized she had locked the car doors. What a relief!
I had no choice but to ask her, "If you don't have something to tell me, what is it?"
Song Yafei then told me some things I didn't know.
"The Dong family is behind this whole thing with Lin Qiuran."
I looked at her in surprise, not understanding why.
"Why? Lin Qiuran didn't do anything. It was all just Miss Dong's wishful thinking from beginning to end. Don't the Dong family know that?"
"You probably don't know this yet, but of course Miss Dong refused the Xu family that she promised to marry. This time, her fiancé is a very good person."
"But this Miss Dong is too stubborn. She actually had a tubal ligation without telling anyone in the Dong family."
tubal ligation?
I was shocked!
I never expected Miss Dong to go to such lengths for Lin Qiuran. I remembered seeing her lonely figure at the banquet.
Her feelings were genuine; she just chose the wrong person.
But while I sympathize with them, I cannot understand the Dong family's behavior.
"Why would the Dong family pin this on Lin Qiuran? I know they've never even met."
"Moreover, Lin Qiuran already has her own family and poses no threat to them."
Song Yafei glanced at me, her eyes clearly saying that I was thinking too simply.
She opened the car window, and a blast of cold air immediately blew in, dispelling the warmth inside the car and instantly making her feel much more awake.
From Song Yafei's words, I heard some cruel truths that I had to accept.
“What you said is all correct, but who are the Dong family? The last engagement was already broken, and they will not allow any accidents to happen this time.”
"Originally, the marriage between the Dong and Xu families would have meant that once Miss Dong gave birth to the child, the future development of both families would have been limitless."
"But if Miss Dong does this, even if the two of them have to get married because of the face of both families, Miss Dong's fate in the Xu family is already very clear."
"Do you think the Dong family will direct their anger at anyone in this matter?"
It was naturally Lin Qiuran.
Therefore, Lin Qiuran became their outlet for venting their anger.
But I can't accept this reality.
Despite doing nothing wrong, Lin Qiuran's entire family is destined for this fate.
What did that family do to deserve this? They just want to live their own peaceful lives.
How could this be?
“I know you and Lin Qiuran are good brothers and can’t accept this outcome, but sometimes you have to face reality. It’s a dog-eat-dog world, and that’s how society has always been.”
I looked at Song Yafei, and I couldn't understand the emotions in her eyes.
I grabbed Song Yafei's hand like I was grasping at a straw, "Can you...?"
Song Yafei shook off my hand and looked at me with icy eyes.
"The foundation's matter might be resolved with some money. But this involves the Dong and Xu families, and I can't afford to offend them for Lin Qiuran's sake."
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at me, and the meaning behind her words was quite clear.
If the foundation issue isn't enough to make me agree to her conditions, what about adding this one?
