After returning home, Song Chen first called Zhai Yue on his mobile phone, but no one answered, or perhaps Zhai Yue didn't pick up.
Unable to do anything, Song Chen was filled with anxiety about what would happen next.
On the morning of the 6th, Song Chen called Zhai Yue again, but still no one answered.
With no choice, Song Chen had to go to the computer room to collect the accounts, then complete the subsequent procedures for registering the company, including getting the seals, before hurriedly taking the bus to the headquarters of Zhai Kuo Electrical.
At the reception, Song Chen found out that Zhai Yue had already arrived at the company and was in a meeting with the shareholders and relatives of Zhai Kuo Electrical. However, the receptionist refused to take Song Chen in because he didn't have an appointment.
Helpless, he could only wait on the sofa in front of the reception for the meeting to end.
"Yue, take care of yourself. Your father is sick, and your mother is like this. You can't fall ill too! Otherwise, Zhai Kuo Electrical will really be in a state of panic!" Zhai Yang, in his forties, looked at his niece with pity. He patted Zhai Yue's shoulder, sighed, and shook his head as he left the office.
Many shareholders also came to offer their condolences, and Zhai Yue responded to each of them with a wooden expression.
Looking haggard, she walked out of the meeting room and returned to the finance department. Her secretary, Xiao Yang, glanced at her boss's face and whispered, "Manager, the reception just called to say that a Mr. Song Chen wants to see you! He has been waiting at the entrance for an hour. You..."
Zhai Yue's eyes darkened, and she hissed, "Let him in!"
Led by the receptionist, Song Chen met Zhai Yue in the spacious and bright finance department. In Song Chen's eyes, Zhai Yue was always dressed seductively, but today she looked different. Wearing a white shirt and a beige pencil skirt, her OL attire made her look very different. Unfortunately, in just one day, she seemed to have lost a lot of weight. Although makeup could hide her fatigue, it couldn't conceal the helplessness and fear in her eyes.
Looking at Song Chen with a complex expression, Zhai Yue, in her professional attire today, said softly, "Chen, I'm very busy now. Can we talk about this later?"
"In a few days, it might be too late!" Song Chen sighed deeply, making Zhai Yue almost unable to meet his eyes. In fact, Zhai Yue blamed herself even more. If she had taken Song Chen's evaluation of her brother seriously, perhaps things wouldn't have reached this tragic point.
"Based on my understanding of your father and mother's psychology, your brother's character, the Zhao family, and your sister's situation, are you interested in hearing my predictions about what will happen next?" Song Chen raised an eyebrow, looking at Zhai Yue with a heavy and slightly angry tone.
In the little she knew about Song Chen, Zhai Yue had almost never seen him angry. No matter how sarcastic or mocking he was, he always had a calm expression. And now, for the sake of the unrelated Zhai family, he was angry?
Zhai Yue didn't respond, just turned her chair to look out the glass window at the street, her expression blank.
"Your father only has one son, Zhai Zheng. No matter how foolish or bad Zhai Zheng is, he is still your parents' only son. So, it's easy to guess what will happen next. Your parents will seek Zhao Yuan's forgiveness. Zhao Yuan has her own flesh and blood, and her daughter, Zhai Yan, still shares half of your father's blood. Even if she is sad and resentful, she will consider her daughter and forgive your brother, not pressing charges to avoid sending him to jail!"
"Really?" Zhai Yue turned her chair, her eyes shining with hope as she looked at Song Chen.
Song Chen gave a cold laugh, "Hearing this, it seems like a perfect solution! Perhaps your mother will truly accept Zhao Yuan, and Zhao Yuan will move into the Zhai family and be well taken care of! They won't have to live separately... As for Zhai Zheng, perhaps he will reform and start treating Zhai Yan better! What's the key here? Zhai Yue, you're so smart, you must know!"
"Zheng..." Zhai Yue murmured.
"The key is your brother! And even Zhai Yan!" Song Chen said coldly, his voice becoming more intense and high-pitched, "Your mother received such terrible treatment. Zhai Yan's resentment towards Zhai Zheng, and even the Zhai family, is inevitable and unsolvable! But she will bury her hatred in her heart! And Zhai Zheng? Will he truly reform and recognize his mistakes? Will he not act impulsively in the future? Yue, what do you think?"
"I..." Zhai Yue couldn't answer, her beautiful eyes, bloodshot, widened as she trembled, "He..."
"Zhai Yan is an unsolvable knot for Zhai Zheng. We both know this. Unless your father expels Zhai Yan or Zhai Zheng from the family and revokes their inheritance rights to Zhai Kuo Electrical, this knot will remain unsolvable!"
"Now, only Zhao Yuan has suffered Zhai Zheng's revenge. But once Zhai Zheng sets his sights on his half-sister... What will you do, Yue?"
"Zhai Zheng won't be so foolish! If he is foolish again, he will get nothing from Zhai Kuo Electrical!" Zhai Yue stared at Song Chen, speaking each word clearly, but her voice trembled, as if she didn't believe it herself!
"If he could really consider this, would he have caused such a huge disaster yesterday?" Song Chen sneered at Zhai Yue's answer, "He only thinks: I am my father's only son, and my father will protect me! Even if I break Zhao Yuan's leg and burn her with sulfuric acid, I will still be released!"
"Enough!" Zhai Yue covered her eyes and screamed in a heart-wrenching voice.
Her scream drew the attention of a few staff members outside. They pushed open the door and, seeing the situation inside, looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
"Please leave!" Zhai Yue sobbed, and Song Chen had no choice but to turn around and say.
Seeing no response, Song Chen shouted, "Leave!"
Seeing that Zhai Yue didn't object, the employees reluctantly closed the door and left, muttering, "Who are you to order us around?" But they didn't dare say this to Song Chen's face.
Song Chen came to Zhai Yue, holding her tenderly, and said hoarsely, "Yue, you know my family situation! I hate that woman, but when my brother was born, I went to the hospital to visit. In front of an innocent child, who can truly hate such a little thing? Hating this half-brother of mine, can it bring back my father's love for my mother?"
"The same goes for Zhao Yuan. No matter how wrong she is, Zhai Yan is innocent! Before the Zhai family collapses, as the eldest daughter of the Zhai family, you need to be decisive!"
"Decisive?" Zhai Yue murmured.
"Decisive! If you don't want Zhai Yan to join my company, at least... as her sister, give her a better position away from Dongou!" A hint of sadness flashed in his eyes, and Song Chen said bitterly, "But you need to understand that in this situation, such a method of exile will only deepen Zhai Yan's resentment towards the Zhai family!"
"What if she refuses?" Zhai Yue hissed.
"Let me talk to her!" Looking at Zhai Yue, a glint of hope flashed in Song Chen's eyes, "I will persuade her!"
Staring at Song Chen, Zhai Yue saw a hint of a man's ambition to possess a woman in his eyes, unmasked! She closed her eyes and said painfully, "Let me think about it!"
"..." Song Chen sighed bitterly, took two steps back, and said softly, "But Yue, if my prediction is accurate... you need to be careful. Once Zhai Zheng is released, you won't have much time!..."
Seeing Zhai Yue still silently crying, Song Chen sighed sadly and turned to leave.
