Chapter 6

Song Chen smiled, although Zhang Ruoxi was very beautiful, due to the unspoken ambition in his heart, he planned to break up with her. He had been pondering how to bring it up, but seeing Zhang Ruoxi now, he noticed her gentleness, her beauty, her kindness, and her intelligence, and felt that he shouldn't make such a quick decision!

In his previous life, he was a straightforward person, and he knew very well how much he had suffered in this complex and murky society! In this life, he felt that even if he shouldn't lose his straightforwardness, he didn't need to be so rigid and inflexible! Perhaps he should have better options.

"Where will the capital for starting a business come from? I will find a way, it won't be through theft or deceit!" He smiled at Zhang Ruoxi, hesitated for a moment in his heart, then moved forward to hold her hand, gently embracing her slender waist. Zhang Ruoxi struggled a bit but eventually leaned into his embrace, her eyes showing less hesitation and more tenderness.

"With your stick-like figure, you can hardly do anything bad!" She rested her round chin on Song Chen's not-so-slim shoulder and said softly with a pout.

After all, he was the man she had chosen! How could he suddenly become someone else? Perhaps the sudden change in his parents' relationship made him seem so unfamiliar and radical?

Smelling the fresh scent of her shampoo and the faint, ambiguous fragrance of her virgin body through her clothes, Song Chen's originally calm heart began to ripple.

For a man who was almost emotionally blank, especially for a penniless loser, suppressing the agitation in his body was difficult! Song Chen didn't want to rush the lady, so he tried to divert his thoughts and whispered in Zhang Ruoxi's ear, "I know a way that might help me earn my first pot of gold in a short time! It won't be much, but if it goes smoothly, I can get the initial capital I need before 2009..."

Starting a business was still a distant matter for Zhang Ruoxi, who had just started university. But hearing Song Chen's words filled with "perhaps," "should," and "if," Zhang Ruoxi knew that her boyfriend himself wasn't sure. She opened her bright, watery eyes and asked with deep concern, "What method?"

Song Chen hesitated for a moment and forced a smile, "You might not have encountered it!"

"I am your girlfriend, for such a big matter, I think I have the right to know!" Although her tone was gentle, Zhang Ruoxi's expression was very determined, "Tell me!"

Song Chen gazed at the flawless, sweet-smelling beautiful girl in front of him, his heart swayed. After a moment of silence, he smiled faintly and brushed her bangs, "I'll show you tonight!"

"Tonight?"

"Yep!"

Zhang Ruoxi thought of her mother's warning in the morning and hesitated, but then she remembered that her boyfriend had always been well-behaved and polite, and since she lived on campus, her parents wouldn't know where she went.

So she nodded in agreement.

As the sun set, the sky was filled with red clouds, as if a fairy had scattered a red robe, dazzling and beautiful.

Li Wan looked at Song Chen, who was sweating profusely from carrying large and small bags of luggage home, and her lips trembled, unable to speak.

Song Chen glanced at his mother, who was angry, helpless, and regretful, and said softly but firmly, "I have found my path, Mom, you have to believe in me!"

"Believe in you?"

Li Wan turned around, picked up a feather duster from the coffee table in the living room, and walked toward Song Chen, holding one end of the duster. Seeing his mother's aggressive stance, Song Chen didn't stand there to be hit. He dropped his luggage at the door, ran to one end of the leather sofa, and stretched out his hand to stop her, "Mom, listen to me, I have really planned my future!"

The feather duster hit the old leather sofa, making a "thud, thud, thud" sound. Li Wan, laughing in anger, scolded, "Future? Where is your future? Just graduated from high school, what company would hire you? Future? Your future is in university! In university!"

After saying this, she circled around the sofa to chase and hit her son. Song Chen again circled to the other side of the sofa, flailing his arms helplessly, "Mom, listen to me first! In this society, working isn't the only way out. I want to learn how to do business!"

"Doing business? You... want to go back to your father's side, right? You regret living a hard life with me, right? I shouldn't have taken you away from that family in the first place." Li Wan's face turned as white as snow, as if all the blood had been drained from it. She paused, then dropped the feather duster, covered her face, and fell to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

Divorcing Song Hua, Li Wan was relieved to have taken her son away from the Song family, but she was always worried that she might affect her son's future. After all, his father was successful in his career, and if she took her son away, he might not have a share in the Song family's business—especially with her ex-husband and that woman about to have a child!

This heartache had been tearing at her heart since the divorce, day after day, year after year...

Until over a decade later, seeing her son with an emotionally blank life, with no one to accompany him...

Until over a decade later, seeing her son achieve nothing, wasting his life...

In the end, she couldn't bear the despair and pain, and left the world with countless regrets.

Even if Song Chen had the chance to choose his future again, he had never thought of returning to the Song family, so he was both amused and heartbroken by his mother's reaction. He walked around the sofa, knelt beside her, and hugged her increasingly thin body, "Dad already has his own family, and he will have a second child soon. He doesn't need me! So I have never thought of going back to him, nor have I thought of asking for his help!"

Li Wan sobbed, "Then where will you get the capital for your business? To be honest, our family, except for this house your father gave me, is truly destitute! Not to mention supporting the family, if it weren't for the help of your aunts and uncles, I really couldn't make it!"

Li Wan pressed her hand to her chest, in great pain, "I'm going crazy! The one who betrayed the family is your father, why am I living such a hard life? Your father is the one who broke his heart, why am I the one suffering? Why! The heavens are truly unfair!"

Hearing this, Song Chen felt bitter and sighed, "This is the essence of society!"

Hugging his mother, Song Chen said softly, "Mom, don't be sad. I promise you, I will make you live better than your father! I will get back what you have lost! I will get it all back for you!"

With a bitter smile, Li Wan lifted her head, caressed her son's face, and sobbed, "I don't need to live well, I just want you to be safe and happy! Xiao Chen, listen to me, entering society isn't easy for you! Companies and government offices all require university graduates. Don't have unrealistic dreams! Listen to Mom and finish your four years of university, okay?"

"Mom, I have my own path, and I believe in it, which is why I am so resolute!" Song Chen's voice was soft but firm and confident.

"Method?" Li Wan stared at her son, only now realizing that her son seemed much more mature. The light in his eyes... was becoming more and more like his father's.
