Chapter 92: There is No Such Word as ‘Relinquish’ in Her Dictionary
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“I really didn’t come back to snatch Mingxu from you. It’s because my foot injury is so severe that I can’t dance ballet anymore. I wanted to come back to China and give it a try. But my family’s businesses are all overseas. Mingxu is the only person I can depend on in the country, so I just want to seek his help. That’s all.”
“If the Fang family’s businesses are all overseas, then it should be better for you to stay overseas and rely on your family business to gain a foothold. However, you insisted on returning to China. I suspect whether your foot is truly injured and you can’t dance… or your brain is injured and you can’t take care of yourself. Hence, you must find someone else’s husband to help you.”
Fang Can was silent for a while, but in the end, she laughed. She had also removed her previous pretense.
“Song Wei, you’re very sharp-tongued indeed. However, the deeper your hostility towards me and the harsher you scold me, the more it proves that my presence has indeed threatened you, right?”
“You obviously saw the nickname that Jiang Mingxu gave me and also know who I am, but you deliberately demonstrated your dominance to me in such a roundabout manner. You just want me to become jealous and suspicious of him. When there is a rift between us, you can then take the opportunity to reconcile with Jiang Mingxu, right?”
However, Fang Can suddenly changed the topic on the other end of the line. “Song Wei, I’ve seen your photo.”
“What?”
“Mingxu placed it on his office table.” On the other end of the line, Fang Can seemed to have picked up the photo frame and was scrutinizing it carefully. There was a hint of unhurried disrespect in her voice. “Seriously, if it wasn’t that I had never worn a wedding dress before, I would have thought that I took this with Mingxu.”
“…what exactly are you trying to say?”
“Song Wei, you look too similar to me,” Fang Can finally spoke her true thoughts on the other end of the line. “Actually, when I heard that he was getting married, I had given up, too. However, later on, my friend went to your wedding. After she came back, she sent me photos of the scene…”
“…”
“I realized that you and I are just so alike…”
“…”
“I heard that you and Mingxu have a political marriage alliance, but the Song family is definitely not the family with the most compatible clout for the Jiang family. Then, why did he choose you?”
“…”
“Have you never been curious before?”
Song Wei felt a chill run down her from head to toe. She hung up the phone almost instantly.
She had never been as helpless as she was now after her rebirth.
Her entire body felt as if it had been coated with ice and chilled her down to her bones.
Very soon, her phone rang. There was a photo sent by an unknown number lying in the message folder.
The girl in the photo was standing by Lake Baikal. In the background, there was an endless expanse of the lake and sky meeting on the horizon. The girl’s smile was especially bright.
Song Wei could tell that the girl in the photo had at least 80% of similarity with her own appearance.
However, whether it was in the past, present, or future; she probably wouldn’t ever reveal such a pure, sunny smile.
She had never been to Lake Baikal either.
She was a little dazed as she recalled how well Jiang Mingxu had been treating her these days and how they had made love every night.
A strong wave of nausea and sorrow surged up, even swamping out her anger.
It turned out that the person she thought she could depend on was only looking for someone else’s shadow in her.
She knew it. Why would Jiang Mingxu choose a marriage alliance with the Song family—which was losing money so badly that it was like a bottomless pit?
Why was he always treating her better than he normally would, even though it was clearly a political marriage?
So that was how it was.
Her phone rang again. It was from Fang Can.
“Song Wei, I don’t mean to hurt you. It’s just that the moment I saw your face, I finally realized how much Mingxu can’t let go of me, just like how I can’t let go of him. I want to return to his side. If it’s possible, please relinquish your position.”
It wasn’t that Song Wei had never experienced such a feeling in her two lifetimes, but the pain at this moment was even worse than in her previous life.
Song Wei held her phone in her hand and nearly used all her strength to press these words, “Not on your life!”
In her dictionary, the word ‘relinquish’ had never existed!
Song Wei put away her phone in a trance and planned to take a taxi home straight away. She would change her clothes before going to the Jiang Corporation.
However, just as she was flagging down a car by the roadside…
A white Stretch Hummer suddenly stopped in front of her. A few men in black suits and black sunglasses got out of the car. Without any explanation, they grabbed Song Wei directly and stuffed her into the car.
“Song Xiaocao, right? Our young lady would like to meet you.”
