Chapter 42:
Song Cun received a call from Zhou's father. He said on the phone that Zhou Suling was going to travel and the return date was uncertain. He put down the phone, sat on the office chair and meditated for a while, then picked up the phone again and dialed Zhou Suling's number.
Zhou Suling didn't know that her father had called Song Cun, and she was quite surprised when she received Song Cun's call. After all, Song Cun rarely called her on his own initiative. Thinking of the things in the dream, he felt a little complicated for a while, and paused , she still connected the phone and stabilized her mood: "Hello!"
Song Cun's voice came from the phone: "Let's meet up. The location is up to you."
Zhou Suling was silent for a moment, and said, "Okay, it's at Dayi Cafe next to your company."
Zhou Suling put down the phone, looked at her parents beside her, and said, "Song Cun asked me to meet?"
Zhou's father said: "Then go and meet."
When we meet each other, talk about what needs to be said, talk about what needs to be said, and if you still can't untie the knot, this marriage contract is unnecessary for the daughter.
The two sat down in the cafe and ordered two cups of coffee. Song Cun looked at Zhou Suling and asked, "I heard you are going on a trip?"
Zhou Suling nodded, looking a little tired, stirred the coffee, thought for a moment, and said, "I've been plagued by nightmares recently, and I want to go out to relax."
Song Cun took a sip of his coffee, lowered his head with condensed eyebrows, and said rather distressed: "It is indeed very painful to be haunted by nightmares. Dreams and reality are often unclear, and you think you have schizophrenia."
Zhou Suling was a little surprised and asked him: "You"
Song Cun gave a relaxed smile and said: "I have also been haunted by nightmares, dreams overlapped with reality, and some dreams predicted what would happen to me in the future."
With a snap, the spoon in Zhou Suling's hand fell into the coffee cup.
[System: The host is lying. 】
Song Cun sneered: "I'm cleaning up the mess for you. Regardless of the outcome of the mission, attacking innocent people has violated my bottom line. I can't do anything to you in the mission world. I will settle accounts with you after the world is over."
The system signed an equal contract with Song Cun. It doesn't understand how the host will settle accounts with it, but although it is afraid of the host's power, it also knows that the host may not have a way to deal with it.
Song Cun glanced at it and sneered, but it was a conscious low-level system, even low-level weapon spirits, but intentionally or unintentionally tried to control him, presumably not knowing how high the sky was and how thick the earth was. Ignoring it, I looked at Zhou Suling and asked, "What dream did you have, can you tell me about it?"
Zhou Suling came back to her senses, she was not stupid enough to tell Song Cun what happened in the dream, but hearing that Song Cun had been haunted by nightmares before, she couldn't help but feel a little happy. Instead, she couldn't help asking: "Then how did you separate the dream from the reality?"
Song Cun glanced at her and said: "In the dream, I would make my mother angry because of a girl, join forces with my father to boycott my mother, and even get involved with Rutong. I have been dreaming this dream for a month. Later, I couldn't help but searched for the girl, but I didn't expect to find out that the girl was the daughter of my father's first love. The virtual character in the dream actually appeared in reality."
Zhou Suling couldn't help opening her eyes wide, and looked at him holding her breath.
Song Cun continued: "At this time, I am calm. No one in this world treats me better and loves me more than my mother. Although Rutong is naive, she sometimes likes to talk back to me. Still stand firmly on my side, they are all my dear relatives, it is impossible for me to treat my mother and sister like that for other girls. Wouldn't that be worse than animals?"
Zhou Suling nodded sharply, and said with righteous indignation: "You are right. It is indeed worse than a beast."
Song Cun looked at her and smiled slightly: "So when my father asked me to take care of Ms. Yang's daughter, I refused without thinking. When my father left my mother aside to go shopping with Ms. Yang At that time, I chose to freeze his bank card. When my father repeatedly bullied my mother because of Ms. Yang, I chose to support my mother to divorce him. Gradually, that dream never appeared in my dreams again. No matter what happened in the dream , as long as your heart is firm and you stick to the path you have set, you will not be affected. Then the dream is just a dream."
Zhou Suling looked at him and asked, "What is my own path? Who can judge whether the path I am walking is correct?"
Song Cun smiled softly: "Life is very long, until the last moment, no one can be sure whether the current path is correct. Then start from your own needs, what do you want most now, and what is most important to you? People know better than you. If what you do is contrary to your needs and important people’s affairs, then you can completely abandon it and choose another path that is beneficial to you.”
Seeing the smile on his face, Zhou Suling couldn't help but said, "As long as it's good for me, don't you hesitate even breaking the law and committing crimes?"
Song Cun asked her back: "Then do you think doing illegal and criminal things is beneficial to you?"
Zhou Suling's shoulders drooped, "I understand what you mean, I'm just a demon tormented by dreams."
Song Cun said: "It's not your fault, there's no need to feel guilty." It's all the system's fault.
When the two came out of the cafe, most of the fatigue on Zhou Suling's body disappeared. With a relaxed smile on her face, she looked at Song Cun and said, "No matter what happens in the future, thank you for your enlightenment today."
"It should." Song Cun said with a smile, after all, he also has his responsibility.
After returning home, Zhou's father and Zhou mother saw the smile on their daughter's face, they looked at each other, and Zhou's mother asked, "How is your chat with Song Cun?"
Zhou Suling sat on the sofa and lazily said: "Through today's meeting, I have another understanding of Song Cun. I believe that he will not do those things in the dream, but at the same time, because of that dream, I have a new understanding of Song Cun. The feelings have dissipated. As for our marriage contract, let’s talk about it after I come back from travel.”
Zhou's mother glanced at Zhou's father, and Zhou's father said: "If you really don't want to marry him, then we will support you. Even if we have never helped the Song family to withdraw their marriage, with Song Cun's character, I believe we will not." It's too ugly."
Sitting between her parents, Zhou Suling hugged their arms and said coquettishly, "Thank you, Mom and Dad, no one in this world loves me more than you."
Although the nightmare tormented her, after she figured it out, she was grateful for the dream. At least it let her know that only her parents are the best for her, and she should repay her parents the most. It is not worth breaking their hearts for a man.
Song Zhengnan and Yang Susu's wedding was held in a five-star hotel in the city, and he sent out invitations widely, because he was afraid that the Song Cun brothers and sisters would disturb them, so he didn't plan to let them attend the wedding.
Yang Susu told him that when his father got married and his children didn't come, others should think that the Song Cun brothers and sisters disapproved of their marriage, and the media would play it up again.
Song Zhengnan heard her reminder, it was the same thing, went to the Song family in person, told Song Cun the time and place of the wedding, and asked him to attend on time.
Upon hearing his invitation, Song Cun said, "You didn't discuss it with me when you applied for the marriage certificate. Obviously, you didn't care about my opinion. Then when you hold the wedding ceremony, if I don't go, you probably won't care."
During this period of time, Song Zhengnan had already learned enough about Song Cun's difficulties, but getting married was a big deal, Susu wanted Song Cun's brothers and sisters to attend their wedding, how could he not satisfy her?
"For my wedding, you, as a son, don't come, do you think it's appropriate?" Song Zhengnan asked dissatisfied.
Song Cun looked at him: "There's nothing inappropriate. Don't you guys get married if I don't go?"
Song Zhengnan said without thinking, "Of course it's impossible."
Song Cun spread his hands: "So is there any difference between whether I go or not?"
Song Zhengnan said with a sullen face, "Are you going or not?"
Song Cun said directly: "I won't go. Not only I won't go, but Rutong won't go either."
Song Zhengnan took a deep breath and looked at him deeply: "Very good, very good."
After speaking, he took a deep look at him, turned and left.
On the day of the wedding, most of the fringe people in the circle went, and most of them went with the mentality of watching a movie. None of the real important people went. Clear, although unhappy, but also helpless.
Yang Susu was not clear about the affairs of the upper class. Seeing so many young masters and ladies from wealthy families attending their wedding, a smile appeared on her face.
Bai Siqing was wearing a dress and standing beside her mother. She shot left and right, but didn't see Song Cun's siblings. She frowned and asked, "Mom, aren't Song Cun and Song Rutong here?"
Yang Susu's eyes dimmed, and then he smiled and said, "They are busy, so they don't have time to come."
These words are just to comfort myself, no matter how busy I am, if I want to, can't I spare a day to attend my father's wedding? It's just that I don't want to come.
Bai Siqing frowned and said, "Father's wedding is such a big event, and they don't have time to come? They don't want to come."
Yang Susu comforted her: "If you don't come, don't come. Don't let your uncle be unhappy when they come."
Bai Siqing thinks so too, Song Cun brother and sister have eyes on the top of their heads, look down on them, how can they like their mother to marry their uncle, uncle likes mother, this is something that can't be helped, a marriage without feelings is doomed not to be happy.
After the wedding, Song Zhengnan and Yang Susu brought Bai Siqing and Bai Sifan to live in Song Zhengnan's small villa. Although this small villa is very different from the Song family's old house, it also surprised Yang Susu and his son. After all, their previous home was nothing more than Two rooms and one living room, three people can't get a room for each of them.
However, at this time, Song Zhengnan was facing another problem. The several million sold in the store had already been spent, the teahouse was not well managed, and there was no profit, and the expenses of the four members of the family became a problem. On her first birthday after marriage, he planned to give her a gift. He couldn't let her live in the Song family's old house, and he couldn't welcome her in the old house. .
In desperation, he set his sights on another store. The location of that store was not as good as the one he sold before, and the area was not very large, at most one or two million. Talking is better than nothing, and it can last for a while. As for the future, let's talk about it later. There is always a way.
The fact that Song Zhengnan sold stores and luxury goods to support the Yang family's mother and son was widely circulated in the circle, Li Lingzhen also heard about it, and laughed it off. Song Zhengnan was willing to sell stores and watches for the sake of true love, which shows how sincere the relationship between them is. Sincerely wish them a happy life together.
Song Cun was busy managing the company and building the hotel, but he didn't care about his father's married life so much.
It will be a year and a half before Zhou Suling returns from traveling.
Seeing Zhou Suling again, Song Cun found that she still had the same smile on her face, but she was dressed smartly and spoke sharply. She was obviously dressed like a white-collar beauty. He smiled and said: "If I don't know that you go on a trip, I will doubt which company you go to. Experienced."
Zhou Suling smiled and said, "You're right. I've been working in an overseas branch of the Zhou Group for a year and a half, and I just came back a few days ago. This time I'm here mainly to talk to you about the hotel's renovation project."
Song Cun asked her: "Do you want to contract the decoration of our company's hotel?"
Zhou Suling is ambitious: "Yes, your company will not be disappointed when you choose our company."
Song Cun said in a business-like manner: "I need to see your company's design drawings and planning plans. If they can't meet my requirements, I won't contract the hotel's decoration to you."
Zhou Suling said: "This is very reasonable. I need some information about the hotel."
Song Cun said, "I'll ask Secretary Zhang to send it to you."
Zhou Suling looked at him, and suddenly said: "I think I like our cooperative relationship more than the marriage contract relationship."
Song Cun asked her: "Have you considered it?"
Zhou Suling nodded and said affirmatively, "One year is enough for me to understand many things."
Song Cun nodded: "Yes." Then he looked at her: "You announce it, or should I announce it?"
Zhou Suling smiled and said, "Let me announce it."
Song Cun nodded again, "OK."
When the Song Group and the Zhou Group reached a cooperation, Song Cun and Zhou Suling divorced. The outside world was quite confused about this. They were about to divorce, so why cooperate? Especially when seeing President Song and Miss Zhou often having dinner together, I don't even know what they are playing. Is it really like what they said, after getting along for more than two years, I found that it is better to be friends?
After Song Cun returned home, he leaned tiredly on the sofa. Ever since he and Zhou Suling divorced, Li Lingzhen was very dissatisfied with him. Seeing him come back, she snorted, "You don't know how to cherish such a good girl, and you don't know what kind of wife you want. I think I want to have a grandson." , there are others waiting."
Song Cun said indifferently: "Didn't Rutong find a boyfriend, you hurry to urge her to get married, and when she gets married, you will naturally have a grandson to hug her."
Song Rutong came down from upstairs and said dissatisfied: "Brother, you don't want to get married yourself, so you let me get married?"
Song Cun looked at her coolly: "Don't you want to get married?"
Song Rutong blushed, well, she really wanted to get married, but that person had to propose. If she couldn't propose, she should come too, right?
Li Lingzhen glared at Song Cun, and said, "I'm talking about you, why are you talking about Rutong? I'm not worried about Rutong, I'm just worried about you."
Song Cun said: "I have no plans to get married for the time being, let's talk about it later."
Li Lingzhen sighed, she knew best how stubborn her son was. He doesn't want to get married, and he can't be forced to get married.
Yang Susu went to the supermarket with 100 yuan. Prices have risen sharply, and everything is expensive. Last year, 100 yuan was used sparingly. An average family can spend a day on vegetables. This year, for two catties of pork, more than half of a hundred yuan will be spent, and it is not enough to buy vegetables, fruits, and fresh milk.
When they arrived at the supermarket, Yang Susu chose and selected, calculated and calculated, and finally got enough items worth 100 yuan before pushing the cart to the cashier.
After returning home, she saw Song Zhengnan hiding on the balcony smoking a cigarette, she frowned, and then said with a smile: "Zhengnan, the family's living expenses are gone, and the lobster you wanted was not bought."
Living expenses Living expenses, living expenses every day, after living most of his life, Song Zhengnan finally realized the distress of some men, and was urged by his wife to ask about living expenses.
He was a little impatient. He always thought that Yang Susu was different. He didn't expect that after marriage, she would become no different from ordinary women. He frowned and said, "Didn't I just give you 3,000 yuan a few days ago?"
Yang Susu said, "That happened half a month ago."
Song Zhengnan said with a dark face: "Didn't I tell you, is that a month's living expenses? You spent it in just half a month?"
Yang Susu explained: "I bought two sets of clothes for Xiaofan and used some."
Song Zhengnan waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, I see."
The teahouse has been closed due to poor management. The money from selling the store was almost spent, and what made him even more troubled was that Song Zhengwen urged him to pay back the money. What should I pay him back with an empty pocket?
The next day, when it was time to buy vegetables again, Yang Susu saw that Song Zhengnan had not paid her living expenses for a long time, so she pressed her and asked, "Zhengnan, what is the money for buying vegetables?"
Song Zhengnan still had hundreds of dollars in his pocket, so he could give it to her wherever he could, and said, "Don't you have any money in your card? Use it first."
Yang Susu frowned, she was rich, but marrying Song Zhengnan was a blessing, if she had to support the family, why would she marry Song Zhengnan? Then it's the first love. After so many years, she has given birth to two children. Can she still have any feelings?
After Song Zhengnan finished speaking, he ignored her and walked out. Seeing him leaving, Yang Susu tried to catch up with him, but found that he had already driven away.
Song Zhengnan didn't go anywhere, but went to Song Cun's place. I ran out of money, so of course I went to find my son.
Song Cun asked, "What do you want from me?"
Song Zhengnan said directly: "I have no money to eat. When did you unblock my bank card?"
Song Cun looked at him: "Are you really out of money?"
Seeing his expression, Song Zhengnan felt that there was something going on, and said, "I really have no money. I want to drink some good wine, but I don't have the money to buy it. These days are too hard. I'm your father anyway, you can't be too unfeeling to me .”
Song Cun said to him: "All your money was used to buy jewelry for Ms. Yang. Whether you are hungry or full, what is the use of jewelry? You might as well sell it. Besides, in order to marry Ms. Yang, you also sold it in stores, Do you sell watches? After so many years, Ms. Yang is still willing to marry you, she must like you very much, she has true love for you, and she must be willing to sell jewelry for you."
Song Zhengnan frowned: "You just don't want to give me money. You're making excuses."
Song Cun said lightly: "Conversely, didn't you buy those jewelry with your money? If you don't buy jewelry for her, your money can be spent so quickly?"
"Just say, will you give me money?" Song Zhengnan thought, Song Cun's main point here is to sell some Yang Susu's jewelry when he goes back, and it is enough to pay back Song Zhengwen's money and family expenses.
Song Cun said: "Take my money to support your wife's stepson and stepdaughter? I'm not that generous."
Although Song Zhengnan thought of him, he knew it. It's useless to pester him, but now he understands what his son is thinking. Knowing what he thinks, there is nothing he can do. He has only been married to Yang Susu for a year. Although he feels that Yang Susu has changed, he doesn't think about divorce. After all, Yang Susu loves him so much.
On the way back, Song Zhengnan received another call from Song Zhengwen. He didn't want to answer it, but he also knew that if he didn't answer Song Zhengwen's call now, Song Zhengwen would go to his house to ask him for money tomorrow, so he could only bite the bullet He answered the phone and asked, "What's the matter?"
Song Zhengwen sneered: "Brother, don't play dumb, pay back the money."
Song Zhengnan said displeasedly: "I'm your big brother, how can I still owe you money? What's the rush?"
Song Zhengwen said disdainfully: "Then who knows, after all, you are not the original you now, do you have the money to pay me back?"
Song Zhengnan said with a dark face: "Don't worry, your money will not be lost. Give me three days, and within three days, I will return it to you."
Song Zhengwen smiled and said: "Okay, I will give you three days."
After hanging up the phone, Song Zhengnan looked at the phone, wishing he could drop it, he took a deep breath, he thought he was down and out, even Song Zhengwen dared to laugh at him, and waited.
After returning home, Song Zhengnan proposed to Yang Susu to sell some jewelry to solve the family's expenses. Yang Susu's expression changed and he said, "Sell jewelry?"
Song Zhengnan didn't see her face, and continued: "Yes, we have no money, and we will have money if you sell some jewelry."
Yang Susu frowned and said, "You are Song Cun's father, so he really won't give you any money? You didn't tell him that you have no money for food?"
Song Zhengnan said: "If we were not married, he might still give me living expenses. It is impossible for him to let me take his money to support your mothers."
Yang Susu's face became ugly, she always thought that she would have a good life if she married Song Zhengnan, even if Song Zhengnan could only give her very little living expenses for the past six months, she endured it.
After all, Song Cun manages such a large group, it is impossible to see his father struggling to survive. Unexpectedly, he really said that he should not give Song Zhengnan money, even if Song Zhengnan had no living expenses, he insisted on not giving it, which was too cruel and heartless.
Seeing that Yang Susu didn't speak, Song Zhengnan said, "The necklace I gave you last time, and the bracelet I gave you for your birthday last year, bring them all. I'll find someone to sell them, and I can get a good price."
Yang Susu looked at him in disbelief, and said sadly: "The necklace is a wedding gift you gave me, and you also said that the bracelet is a birthday gift. How can you sell it? It's your wish, and I'm reluctant to sell it."
What kind of carelessness, Song Zhengnan said impatiently: "We have no money now, let's sell them for emergency, and I will replenish them for you when we have money, the head office?"
But Yang Susu knew that things belonged to her only in her own hands, why would she have money to replenish her in the future, and where would she get the money to replenish her?
Song Zhengnan suddenly looked at her and asked forcefully, "Are you reluctant to sell?"
Yang Susu paused, she was really reluctant, she explained: "It is a gift from you, your heart, how can I be willing to sell them?"
Thinking of Song Zhengwen's sarcasm, Song Zhengnan said angrily, "Don't say you don't care, it's important to get the money first. Go ahead and take out the necklace and bracelet."
Yang Susu was in a dilemma. Of course she didn't want to sell the jewelry, but if she didn't, Song Zhengnan would definitely not give up and would doubt her sincerity. What should she do?
