Chapter 771: Chapter 276: The Main Lady Finally Appears, Yuwei’s Concerns (Part 2)
Next month, the main lady will be joining the company, and at this critical moment, it’s even more important not to flaunt around, staying low-key is better.
However, more than just two people know about it.
Shortly after entering the house, Song Yuwei’s phone rang. It was a call from Song Yutong.
Sister Song shared the news of her housewarming with her younger sister today.
"Sis, have you moved into the new house?"
"Haha, yes, I have, just got in a while ago!"
Song Yuwei leaned back on the soft orange sofa, feeling quite cheerful.
"Congratulations, sis, I’m so envious of you, having your own little place not far from West Lake, it must feel great, right?"
Song Yutong said with a tone of envy.
"Yutong, we’re sisters, my little place is your little place too, you can come live here anytime you want, there’s plenty of room with three bedrooms."
Song Yuwei said with a smile.
"Sure, with the holiday coming in a month, I’ll definitely stay over for a few days, just as long as you don’t mind me being a third wheel to you and Brother Ze, hehe!"
"You little rascal, making fun of your big sis again, just see if I don’t get you when the holiday comes!"
"..."
After chatting for a while, just as she hung up, the phone rang again.
This time, it was a call from home.
Her parents also knew about her moving to a new house, and Song Yuwei even asked if they wanted to come to Lin’an, but the elders politely declined.
Firstly, the journey was a bit of a distance, and Granny Song had previously suffered from a serious illness, leaving her body weak and rarely traveling far.
Secondly, they knew the house was bought by the young boss from their daughter’s company, and he would obviously be there that day, their presence wouldn’t be convenient and might interfere with the couple.
They asked if she had already moved in, said a few auspicious words, and then Mr. Song stated, "Dear daughter, no matter what, we respect your decision, after all, you’ve grown up and have your own thoughts!"
Granny Song also chimed in, "Yuwei, as long as you feel you’re doing well, don’t put too much pressure on yourself, your dad and I have realized that although we once lived in wealth, those days are gone, we’re old now, and face and money don’t matter anymore, our only wish now is to see you and Yutong safe and happy."
After the Song family declined, being looked down upon by many, their eldest daughter was dedicated to finding ways to restore the family’s reputation, working hard and even saying she would eventually buy back their old villa.
The Song elders worried she was too obsessed and putting too much pressure on herself.
"Dad, Mom, don’t worry, I’m doing well now, and everything will only get better!"
Song Yuwei spoke with confidence.
She also advised, "Mom, since I can’t be there to take care of you, please take care of yourself, have more nutritious food."
"Hehe, Yuwei, the fact that you care makes Mom very happy, no need to send money back often, work is not easy for you out there."
"..."
All day long, Su Zelin stayed at Song Yuwei’s new residence.
The apartment complex is located near the West Lake scenic area, with few vehicles at night, very quiet and fresh air, in the summer you can hear distant insect calls and frogs croaking, it’s an excellent place to relax, even improving sleep quality quite a bit.
After a while, Song Yuwei suddenly thought of something and turned to him: "Dear, what if your childhood sweetheart finds out about us, will she come looking for trouble with me? Even kicking me out of the company and away from you?"
Bringing up the girl at that moment was a bit inopportune, but Sister Song couldn’t help but ask.
Su Zelin claimed he could handle it, but she was still a bit afraid.
During sophomore year, on New Year’s Day, a rascal went to Shenghai to pick up a car and met Song Yuwei.
Not long after, she came to Lin’an and soon was with Su Zelin.
Calculated by the fingers, it has been more than two years.
She had long fallen in love with this man, with a strong sense of dependency.
If she were forced to leave Su Zelin, Song Yuwei felt the sky would fall.
Even though she knew if that day really came, Su Zelin would surely give her a large sum of money as compensation, but compared to money, Su Zelin was much more important.
"It won’t happen!"
Su Zelin chuckled softly: "You’re overthinking it, she’s not the type of person."
"And, what if," just hypothetically, if she finds out, how would she react?"
Song Yuwei relentlessly pursued the question, she’s very concerned about this as it involves her feelings and fate.
Su Zelin was silent for a while before speaking, "If she can’t accept it, she’d rather leave silently than make a scene."
He knew his childhood sweetheart’s temperament very well.
Besides, in the previous life, when Qin Shiqing found out about his infidelity, she didn’t make a fuss, just turned and left, never to return.
She neither scolded him nor that other woman.
It’s worth mentioning that the person she caught him in bed with was the little secretary.
Song Yuwei breathed a slight sigh of relief: "So, she has quite a good personality."
"Indeed, she’s so good that at one point I couldn’t bear to be with her, deliberately keeping my distance, but eventually something happened, and we ended up together anyway."
Since Song Yuwei’s curiosity killed the cat, the rascal didn’t mind talking about Qin Shiqing with her, after all, the two women would soon meet and get to know each other, and they’d be working in the same company in the future.
Moreover, to win over Qin Shiqing, Song Yuwei’s cooperation might be necessary, this benefits her too, surely Song Yuwei also hopes Qin Shiqing can accept her existence, preferably without having to be secretive.
Song Yuwei expressed understanding.
A man like Su Zelin, if he were her childhood sweetheart, she’d follow him blindly even knowing it’s dangerous.
Of course, Su Zelin’s feelings for that girl are certainly deep too, with her being proactive, how could he possibly hold back over time.
Clearly, he favors the girl the most.
Sister Song felt a bit envious, wishing her family lived beside Su Zelin’s, being neighbors with him.
But it’s not so bad now, at least her boyfriend is quite doting, not to say fulfilling every whim, but he does try to meet her material desires, and everyday life is fairly romantic, thus Song Yuwei is content.
...
The next day, right after Su Zelin finished work, he received a QQ message from Qin Shiqing.
Sunny Day: "Xiaolinzi, next week is your birthday, have you planned how to celebrate?"
During Su Zelin’s college birthdays, one time he dined with dormmates, and she went to the School of Finance.
Another time was spent singing karaoke in a private room with Lu Haoran, Xiaoyanzi, himself, and Huang Panpan.
That night she and the underclassman competed in drinking, ending up both drunk and tossed onto the same bed by Su Zelin.
Forever Handsome: "Got it all planned, Shiqing, but there might be a lot of people this time."
Sunny Day: "Oh, who are they?"
Forever Handsome: "The subordinates from the operations department, somehow my birthday got leaked, and they all want to celebrate it for me. Oh well, such is the trouble of having too high a reputation, being overly adored."
Sunny Day: "Yeah right, you vain man!"
Despite her words, Qin Shiqing believed him.
Besides his high position in the company, Su Zelin is a social butterfly, with undoubtedly a wide social network.
Forever Handsome: "In addition to that, there are some social people, business partners or friends, they invited me to their birthdays, I think it’s only polite to reciprocate, anyway it’s just networking, and finally, my roommates and some close classmates."
Sunny Day: "Why so many people?"
Forever Handsome: "Well, can’t help it, Shiqing, you need to know, as they say, once you’re in this world, you can’t help it."
Sunny Day: "Alright then."
Qin Shiqing felt a bit helpless, but she understood.
As a company owner and executive, not to mention an enterprise in rapid development, social interactions are indispensable for Su Zelin.
In the end, Xia Country is a society of interpersonal relationships.
In high school, she hoped her childhood sweetheart wouldn’t be a rascal and would succeed.
But once he left that behind and succeeded, it felt like he suddenly became everyone’s Su Zelin, no longer exclusively hers.
This indeed left her conflicted.
