Li Feng helplessly made a quiet phone call to Shen Ci, asking him to notify Song Enshu.
He didn’t have Song Enshu’s phone number, and since they weren’t close, he could only turn to Shen Ci.
Shen Ci, who rarely got angry, was infuriated this time.
He wished he could immediately organize a wedding for Song Enshu and Xia Ping, but considering that he couldn’t stop the Song family from making a scene at the wedding, and worse, the Song family might bully the Xia family, he could only suggest that the couple first get a marriage certificate.
That was also what Song Enshu had in mind.
With things having turned out , Xia Ping didn’t blame Song Enshu, but she suddenly didn’t want to continue dealing with him.
Not to mention secretly getting a marriage certificate.
The influential families had many tactics, and she worried about her parents’ safety.
She wasn’t being overly anxious without reason.
Sure enough, Xia Ping’s parents faced continuous threats and intimidation.
After discussing with her parents, Xia Ping decided they would immediately return to Hai City with her grandparents and younger brother, and she would break up with Song Enshu.
If it weren’t for her desire to finish university, she would have gone back to Hai City too.
Xia family didn’t want to trouble anyone.
Such kind people deserved to be treated well.
Hearing what happened, Han Zheng made an immediate decision to become his father’s sworn brother. This way, Xia Ping would become his goddaughter, Meng Chuyue’s godsister, and Shen Ci’s cousin and god-aunt...
Such relationships were sufficient to ensure their safety.
The Xia family, upon hearing this, were dumbfounded.
Even more, they were moved.
What merit or capability did they have to first encounter Shen Ci and Meng Chuyue, and now Han Zheng...
If it had just been for his own considerations, Mr. Xia wouldn’t dare to aspire to associate with Han Zheng, but Xia Ping and Song Enshu were genuinely in love.
For their sake, Mr. Xia decided to accept Han Zheng’s kindness.
Tong Wen, hearing this news, felt jealousy and anger that nearly drove her insane.
Meng Chuyue was too bully.
Both Xia Ping and she were her close friends, so why play favorites to such an extent?
Was it because Xia Ping and Shen Ci were relatives?
No, that distant relation who hadn’t previously interacted much, how could that be an influence?
Meng Chuyue simply looked down on her. That was all there was to it.
Tong Wen even suspected that Xia Ping and Song Enshu’s love at first sight wasn’t true at all but instead was an arrangement by Meng Chuyue through Shen Ci.
"Love at first sight" was just a lie to deceive her.
Tong Wen irrationally clung to her hatred.
In fact, she knew some of her supposed reasoning was utter nonsense...
But she couldn’t care less.
She was in so much pain now, only hatred could slightly relieve her.
What Tong Wen didn’t know was that fate sometimes also favored her.
One Sunday, when she was at a mall buying clothes, she suddenly felt a stomach ache and stayed longer in one of the restrooms there.
Just when she was about to get better and ready to leave, she suddenly overheard a woman who came into the restroom after her say to another woman, "Red Leaf Restaurant, room 808, tomorrow night at eight, right? Don’t worry, I’ll definitely lure Song Enshu there and get him drunk. Both my husband and I are his classmates; he’ll give us face."
The other woman replied, "Mm, here’s ten thousand yuan from Miss Li Fangwei for you. After the job’s done, you won’t lack for greater benefits."
"Hehe, I know, I know."
Tong Wen guessed the two were speaking so daringly because they had seen other restroom occupants leave, and since her stall had been silent the whole time, they thought it was unoccupied.
Afraid to be discovered and silenced, she dared not even breathe heavily. Although the restroom had a continuous flush toilet system, where the sound of neverending water flow allowed her to breathe normally.
The two women left quickly.
Tong Wen remained immobile until others came in, which snapped her out of it.
After composing herself, she came up with a bold idea.
Even though she didn’t know who was plotting against Song Enshu, she could intercept them.
This idea didn’t last long before she dismissed it.
She cursed herself for being crazy.
As a student of Imperial University, did she really need to stoop to such desperate measures, just because she wasn’t married yet?
