So You're Such A Doctor Song

Chapter 279 - She Was So Childish

Chapter 279: She Was So Childish

Now, hearing the story from someone else was a different kind of heart-throbbing experience.

So the aloof Song Chuchu was actually so childish behind her back.

Fake decency.

As she let her train of thoughts run, the rims of her eyes started to become warm and moist.

Zhan Mingwei nudged Siyao silently and reminded her with a smile, “Can you not expose Old Song? If he found out about this, he would definitely pull a face and it’d be awkward again. Be careful if he shows attitude next time.”

Siyao stuck her tongue out. “Changqing, you must never tell on me. He’s such a petty person, but I really do hope that the two of you can be together. Actually, my marriage with Mingwei was also pretty rough. The two of us fell in love in university and Mingwei’s family was too well-off. They were government officials for generations while my family was just from a small province. My dad opens a breakfast shop while my mom is just a normal housewife who has poor health. Mingwei’s family was strongly against the two of us being together. Forget that our family statuses weren’t aligned, but our families were simply worlds apart. However, I made it through the stress and was with him for seven years before his parents gave in, and that was how we came to be.”

Changqing stared at this elegant woman with a clean, short haircut in front of her with disbelief. Every move of hers was filled with confidence, and Changqing assumed that Siyao and Zhan Mingwei’s families were of the same status. She never thought Siyao actually had such a family background.

“You’re shocked, right?” Siyao smiled. “His mom even went to my parents personally to talk about it and even attempted to dismiss me with money. She said some pretty nasty words, but I was a proud person. I did think about giving up back then but seeing how Mingwei was so persistent and unrelenting, I thought I should just take a gamble. In any case, with this person by my side, there was nothing to be afraid of. I never thought I would win the gamble.”

Zhan Mingwei looked at his wife and let out a pampering smile. “I couldn’t bear to give up such an adorable wife.”

Siyao snorted. “And I’m the only one who could take all that stress.”

“Yes, yes, yes. It was my fortune to be able to marry you.” Zhan Mingwei agreed, making allowances.

Changqing was envious upon seeing their interaction and wavered slightly.

She couldn’t help but think about the relationship between Xin Ziao, Ruan Yang and Zhao Zhu.

Xin Ziao’s family also looked down on Ruan Yang.

However, Xin Ziao chose to give in to the stress and got engaged with Zhao Zhu.

Whereas Zhan Mingwei chose to resist the stress and persevered on.

After a slight comparison of certain aspects between people, suddenly, all was clear.

When the celebratory dinner ended, Zhan Mingwei and his wife bade Changqing goodbye.

“Remember to add me on Weibo when you get back,” Siyao reminded her with a smile as she held her husband’s arm and walked down the stairs. “Chief Zhan, what did you think about my performance tonight?”

Zhan Mingwei raised his brows and pinched her little face. “Full marks. I’ll reward you well when we get home.”

“Mingwei, wait a minute...” Song Huaisheng’s voice came from behind.

The two turned back. Song Huaisheng took a few steps down. “Mingwei, can we have a little chat?”

“Uncle Song, let’s talk on the way,” Zhan Mingwei said gently.

Song Huaisheng nodded. There were also a lot of people coming down behind him successively and he didn’t want to block their path either. “Has Chuyi contacted you recently?”

“Yes, he mentioned Auntie,” Zhan Mingwei said.

“What happened to his mom was quite regretful,” Song Huaisheng said sympathetically. “Chuyi has always been close to you. Did he tell you about his future plans?”

“His current plan... is probably to reconcile with Changqing.” Zhan Mingwei smiled slightly. “Any man who feels responsible for his family wouldn’t be in the mood to look for a job when his wife wants a divorce. Isn’t there a saying that goes: ‘A man should settle down before carving out his career’?”

Song Huaisheng’s face sank. “I didn’t tell him to divorce Changqing.”

“Uncle Song, when you consented to Song Chulang’s plan to acquired the Yan Corporation, you already put Chuyi behind your self-interests. There’s no point in you telling me all this right now.” Zhan Mingwei’s lips formed a slight curve. “Besides, Song Chulang planned such a meticulous plot against the Yan family, and now that the deal wasn’t completed, the Song family is fine, but he caused the Yan Corporation to end up in such a state, and there wasn’t even a single word of apology. Would the Yan family not feel disheartened? Not to mention the many times Song Chulang humiliated Yan Changqing and said nasty and derogatory things to her. There was one time when he even abandoned her on a deserted street, causing her to almost be taken advantage of by some gangsters. Any normal person wouldn’t dare to even step foot into the Song Household.”

Song Huaisheng frowned. He never imagined such things happened.

“Uncle Song, perhaps you think the Song Family is superior in every aspect and it wouldn’t matter even if your son got a divorce since he could look for another wife just like you, no matter how young she is. Pardon me for saying such unkind words as a junior, but a divorce isn’t a glorious thing after all. Song Chulang probably also took on certain aspects of your thinking and thought that divorce was nothing at all, so he didn’t spare any efforts to force his brother to get a divorce. Instead of anxiously finding out about Chuyi’s plans, why don’t you take this time to teach and guide Song Chulang so that he doesn’t take the wrong path?” As Zhan Mingwei spoke, they arrived at the entrance of the hotel without realizing it. His chauffeur drove over too. “Uncle Song, you should go back earlier to rest. We’ll take our leave first. Lastly, I just want to let you know that if the Song family wants to continue its attack on the Yan family, I won’t just sit by and watch either.”

After finishing his piece, he didn’t care about how terrible Song Huaisheng looked and got into the car with his wife.

When the car left, Siyao looked back. “Weren’t you a little too much with your words just now?”

“Too much?” Zhan Mingwei fiddled with his wife’s hand as he sighed. “Chuyi’s father puts too much importance on self-interests and is very greedy. Before he even got divorced from Chuyi’s mom, he already had a mistress on the outside. So many years after his divorce, he still obstinately thinks that the failed marriage was all the fault of Chuyi’s mother alone.”

“Aye, he’s indeed quite hateful,” Siyao said with disgust.

Germany, Munich.

At the hospital in the evening. Song Chuyi sat quietly in the hallway. He swiped on his phone with his thumb and logged into Weibo.

Changqing had a new post update. In the photo, she was wearing a fishtail dress and was eating barbequed meat with a playful look on her face. Her caption was equally playful: The station’s event that we anticipated for so long has finally ended. Time to have some meat to replenish my energy.

On his tired, dark face, a smile finally surfaced.

After liking the post, he commented with one word: Pig...

After commenting, he scrolled through her past posts since he had nothing to do. He scrolled on and on and actually wasn’t tired of it.

When Song Chulang came over with dinner in his hands along with Song Yunyang, he was greeted with the sight of Song Chuyi looking down at his phone with a slight smile on the corners of his lips.

Song Yunyang paused in her steps. She felt a slight ache flowing from her heart.

She was in love before and naturally, knew that that smile would only appear when someone in love thought about a special someone.

Song Chulang also detected it. He walked to Song Chuyi and the latter actually didn’t even realize it, which allowed Song Chulang to see the pictures on his phone clearly.

He blocked Yunyang, who was nervously by the side, so she wouldn’t see the pictures. He said coldly, “Let’s eat.”

Song Chuyi lifted his head and hid his phone quickly.

Song Yunyang passed him his lunchbox. “Have you fed mom?”

“Just did.” Song Chuyi received the lunchbox. There were noodles and sausage inside.

After being in Germany for so long, they basically had this for every meal.

He sighed and took a bite of the sausage. He suddenly recalled the times back at home when he used to always make a certain woman eat his sausage.

Now, he was all alone eating sausage pathetically.

Song Chulang glanced at him and walked into the ward. Rong Chang was laying quietly in bed as though she was sound asleep.

He stayed there for a while before coming out. Song Chuyi was almost done with his dinner. “Dad called me today. I’ve been here for a few days but there are still a lot of things at the company to deal with. I’ll leave Mom to you. I’ll come back in a few days to visit her.”

“Up to you,” Song Chuyi said apathetically.

Song Yunyang stood by the side and didn’t say a word. No one would’ve thought that the three of them would end up so estranged.

Song Chulang didn’t say anything more. He left on a plane early the next morning.

Changqing woke up in the morning and logged in to her Weibo. Immediately, she saw a comment from “delicate and beautiful 3”.

She was a little annoyed at the comment.

How am I a pig?

Nonsense. Indeed, no nice words come out of his mouth.

However, when she looked at the “pig” quietly again, she felt an inexplicable sense of sweetness surging from her heart.

There seemed to be a song called “Song of the Pig”.

She couldn’t help but search it up on her phone and play it on her speaker.

Mm, it seemed pretty interesting.

Shen Lu knocked on her door and entered. When she heard the song echoing throughout the room, she was shocked. “Changqing, what kind of song is this? You actually listen to something like this?”

Changqing, who was brushing her teeth in the bathroom, quickly spat out the toothpaste in her mouth and said with embarrassment, “I put it on auto-play and this song happened to be the one playing.”

“Oh.” Shen Lu nodded with bewilderment. Indeed, she couldn’t keep up with the pace of young people. “However, this song sounds like it’s about you, haha.”

“...” Changqing stomped her foot. “Auntie Shen, then you’re plainly saying I’m a pig.”

“Aren’t you that lazy little pig?” Shen Lu smiled pamperingly. “Come down quickly; I made you some noodles. It won’t be good once they’ve cooled down.”

“Alright,” Changqing answered. When Shen Lu left, she turned the music off.

I’m not a pig.

She was really going mad. Because of one word from Song Chuyi, she actually listened to this kind of song.

Changqing felt frustrated. Should she send Song Chuyi a text to ask about his mother? However, would that seem as though she wanted to be with him?

After finishing breakfast with frustration, she rushed to the station for her morning meeting.

Boss Feng had praise and criticism regarding last night’s performance.

In the afternoon, Changqing received a call from Lin Yueli while she hustled backstage. “I wonder if I have the honor of inviting Miss Yan for dinner tonight? After being busy for so long, you should have a day off, right? I’ll have to make a trip back to the UK with James tomorrow and can only return to China after about a month.”

Upon hearing that he was about to leave, Changqing felt quite apologetic. He had been asking her out often recently but she was too busy. “Sure, but it has to be late. You’ve helped me so much—I’ll treat you this time.”
