Su Ruanruan quietly listened.
Song Wei slowly exhaled a ring of smoke: "Back then, I cohabitated with Su Minghua and was discarded. My family wouldn’t accept me. I fell sick and needed a lot of money, so I went to seek help from Su Minghua. But a month after he broke up with me, he already had a new girlfriend and wouldn’t even meet me!"
Su Ruanruan guessed: "Later you met Brother Jiu?"
Song Wei gave her a glance, and smiled: "You think it was some earth-shattering romance?"
Su Ruanruan’s face turned slightly red.
Song Wei flicked the ash from her cigarette, her gaze misty: "My relationship with Master Jiu was a transaction! He personally trained me, and later when I grew older, he introduced me to marry a tycoon in City B! However, that old man passed away last year."
Her words were simple, and Su Ruanruan felt it improper to probe further.
"It’s not something worth mentioning," Song Wei tossed her long hair, saying nonchalantly.
Su Ruanruan suddenly said softly, "You like Brother Jiu."
Song Wei was stunned.
Then, she laughed, "Little devil, trying to trick words out of me!"
Su Ruanruan remained silent.
She truly felt that Song Wei’s life had not been easy.
She deserved happiness!
Despite the events of those years, although young, she still retained memories.
Song Wei was also quite emotional.
She said, "Back then when I went to the Su Family, you were just this little. In a blink, you’ve grown into a young lady! Anyway, Ruanruan, thank you for giving me this opportunity to take my revenge."
Su Ruanruan bid her farewell.
Song Wei watched the closed door, lost in thought.
Tomorrow, she would head back to City B.
Now, she wanted to see someone, but that person was avoiding her.
Song Wei cornered Mu Jiu in the clubhouse.
Mu Jiu poured her a glass of brandy, and they sat facing each other.
"Heading back tomorrow?"
Song Wei went to Mu Jiu, knelt beside him half-supplicating, and softly asked him, "Won’t you ask me to stay?"
Mu Jiu chuckled sheepishly.
He gently patted her face, "Don’t be silly! You’ve finally made it ashore."
"You despise me, don’t you?" Song Wei placed her hand on his leg, "I don’t need a title."
With that, Mu Jiu straightforwardly spoke out.
"Song Wei! I won’t hide it from you, I can’t marry you! But to have you like those other women is beneath you. Now you have money and status, it’s better you find a proper man and settle down."
Having said that, he kindly pulled her up.
He opened the door for her, saying, "What time is your flight tomorrow? I’ll have Yan Kuan send you."
His tall frame, however, was embraced by Song Wei.
Song Wei murmured into his ear: "You are rejecting me because you like Ruanruan, aren’t you?"
Master Jiu couldn’t keep his composure.
He retorted dryly: "Who’s the bastard saying that? I’ll skin him!"
"I figured it out myself!" Song Wei let go of him, flipping her long hair and giving a bitter smile.
Previously, when she visited Jiang City, Master Jiu didn’t mind getting intimate with her.
But this time, Master Jiu was very proper.
Even somewhat celibate.
That meant there was someone in his heart.
Song Wei was no fool; she quickly realized who occupied Master Jiu’s heart.
Her articulating of his feelings made Master Jiu sigh: "What use is being good to that little creature? She’s with someone else!"
Song Wei had heard that Su Ruanruan was with Bao Jingyan.
But as a woman, she was more observant.
She had feelings for Master Jiu and was very willing to help him: "That girl might be in love, but I can tell she’s still untouched!"
The cigarette trembled between Master Jiu’s fingers.
His fingertips burned.
He jumped up, shouting, "Song Wei, you’re doing this on purpose!"
Song Wei smiled lightly.
Staying any longer would be meaningless.
Thus, she gave herself respect, and also to Master Jiu.
She said, "I have a flight at 9 tomorrow morning, have Yan Kuan pick me up at 7:30!"
Master Jiu waved his hand, applying cooling oil to his hands.
After Song Wei left, yet he tossed away the ointment, slumping into the leather seat.
Master Jiu’s mind was filled with Song Wei’s words.
He couldn’t believe that Su Ruanruan and Bao Jingyan had been sharing a bed for so long,
yet nothing had transpired...
