Mrs. Gu looked at the changes in Song Qiao and knew her purpose today had been achieved. She stood up, looking at Song Qiao with a hint of sympathy, "Although Miss Song you certainly are a nice girl, our Linyuan is destined not to be with you. I believe you now understand this, the time Linyuan spent with you was only due to a temporary interest..."
At this point, her gaze fell on the bank card in front of Song Qiao, "This 100,000 yuan is for your grandfather’s surgery expenses. I forgot to tell you, Linyuan was probably not with you yesterday, right? That’s because Yun Wei returned to the country yesterday, and Linyuan went to accompany her. Last night, the parents from both our families discussed, and one month later, Linyuan will have his engagement ceremony with Yun Wei..."
After Mrs. Gu left, Song Qiao did not immediately leave but instead sat there, gazing blankly at the bank card in front of her.
She just felt that her current mood was very chaotic, even feeling a bit surreal, as if meeting Linyuan’s mother was like being in a dream!
How could she believe that the man who had said just days ago that he would take care of her for life, and would marry her, already had a fiancée and was going to hold an engagement ceremony in a month!
The girl sat quietly, the sunlight streaming through the window falling directly on her, making her appear even more melancholic!
What Song Qiao didn’t know was that less than five meters away from her, a man dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, extremely handsome to the point of being divine, had witnessed everything between her and Linyuan’s mother!
Watching the somewhat desolate Song Qiao, the man’s eyes deepened a shade, yet his expression remained unchanged.
"No way, Jingchen, from the time I went to the restroom you’ve been watching that young lady, and now that I’m back, you’re still watching her. You couldn’t possibly be interested in her, could you?" Just then, a bespectacled and scholarly-looking man sat opposite him, exuding a gossipy aura!
Lu Jingchen withdrew his gaze, his handsome face expressionless, his thin lips slightly parting to speak lightly, "How is the investigation going?" Chapters first released on NoveI[F]ire.net
Gu Xicheng, who was originally curious and turned his head to look at Song Qiao, just wanted to know what sort of girl was worth Young Master Lu’s long attention, and was also very curious about what the rumored Cinderella was like!
However, his position was quite unique because there was a potted plant about half a person tall not far from him, making it so he could only see a small figure from his position!
At most, he could confirm that the young lady was really young, looking about twenty years old, and she probably had a nice appearance!
Hearing Lu Jingchen’s words, he hurriedly withdrew his gaze, directly pulling out a photo from his briefcase and handing it over to Lu Jingchen, "This is Song Ru Hai’s younger daughter, Song Xi, 23 years old, studying at the Film Academy, a junior!"
Lu Jingchen glanced at the photo, which showed a girl in a pink evening gown, looking like a high and mighty princess. He withdrew his gaze, took a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, took a drag, and through the smoke looked at Gu Xicheng before speaking, "Isn’t there supposed to be another older daughter?"
