“Mom… I hate Su Yu,” Song Yishi’s face was grim as she immediately objected.
“It doesn’t matter if you like him or not, the Su Family just called and the commander politely rejected my proposal.” Mayor Song walked up to his wife and daughter, a little unhappy with the situation.
“That’s good since I didn’t plan on being set up with Su Yu to begin with. I really don’t like that man, he’s nothing compared to Qin Chu…” Song Yishi viciously defamed Su Yu.
“Yishi… let me ask you, are you determined to interfere in Qin Chu’s marriage?” This was the first time Mayor Song asked his daughter such a serious question, to which Song Yishi answered without hesitation, “Yes.”
Mayor Song looked at his daughter with slight disappointment. “Yishi, there are so many fish in the ocean, why are you so hung up on the one you can’t have?”
“No one is as outstanding as Qin Chu.”
“But he has a wife…” Song Yishi’s mother interjected.
“He can get divorced,” Song Yishi said casually as she looked down at her phone and began fondling it.
Mayor Song sighed. “I know that kid pretty well. Qin Chu is a great man and perhaps the perfect son-in-law, but he’s married, and his relationship with his wife is stable. It’s immoral for you to try to break up their family.”
“Who cares about morality? The only thing people care about these days is the result, no one cares about morals and ethics. Plus… no matter how moral I am, no one will present me with an award, so why should I abide by ancient ideologies and these so-called ‘morals’?”
“People will talk about you behind your back for being someone’s mistress. You might not be afraid of scandals, but what about your dad? He’s the mayor! You shouldn’t be this stubborn…” Song Yishi’s mother didn’t want her daughter to keep chasing after Qin Chu, especially since she had been at it long enough and still hadn’t succeeded.
Therefore, she and Mayor Song kept trying to persuade their daughter into mending her ways.
“You guys… you’re too conservative. In today’s world, there’s something called ‘public opinion’, and a profession called ‘internet water army’. I can hire some water armies to boost my reputation while at the same time ruin Huo Mian’s. They can make up a story of how she’s the other woman who intervened in Qin Chu and my relationship. In a couple of years, I’ll be Mrs. Qin, and everything will be a done deal. By then, no one will care if she was wronged or innocent.”
“That’s victimizing!” Unlike his daughter, Mayor Song was a man with integrity. Therefore, he would never do anything like what his daughter had just suggested.
“Who did I victimize? Huo Mian? That’s not called victimizing, it’s called survival of the fittest. It’s the law of nature,” Song Yishi said matter-of-factly.
“If that’s the case, then I have nothing else to say. Do whatever you want. You’ve grown up, and we’re too old to discipline you… But I hope you won’t regret your decision today.” Mayor Song knew that his daughter was set on sticking to her guns, so he didn’t want to waste any time persuading her. Therefore, he stood up to leave…
“Yishi, please don’t cause too much trouble for us. Your dad was saying how he wanted us to immigrate to Australia after he retires.”
“No, I’m not going anywhere, I have to have Qin Chu.”
Right now, not only did Song Yishi want to steal Qin Chu. More than anything, she wanted to steal the thing that Huo Mian treasured the most.
Her infatuation for Qin Chu had become a war between women…
Song Yishi’s feelings for Qin Chu wasn’t love. It was an urge to control and dominate him.
Before Huo Mian got off work, she tidied up her office, took off her white lab coat, and put on her red cotton jacket.
She also put on the scarf and toque that Mrs. Xie made her and looked adorable with her little bag.
“Goodnight, Chief Huo.”
“Night, chief!”
Her colleagues waved goodbye as she headed out the hospital…
After leaving the hospital, Huo Mian saw a Maybach parked outside before she even saw her own car.
She immediately ran up to it and knocked on its window.
“Hey, handsome, you can’t park here. The fine is 200 yuan, pay up.” Huo Mian smiled as she playfully stuck out her hand.
