Chapter 797 Lu Feng’s Betrayal
On the morning of the wedding, Song Yunxuan tried on the wedding dress in front of the mirror in her room after breakfast.
It was a high-waisted wedding dress slit to the thigh, which was elegant and graceful. Besides, the lace around Song Yunxuan’s hair and shoulders made her look like a fairy.
“This wedding dress shouldn’t have been customized so early.”
Song Yunxuan said.
Mei Qi and the housekeeper were watching her try on her wedding dress.
Hearing that, Mei Qi asked, “Why?”
Song Yunxuan smiled, replying, “Because it doesn’t fit now.”
The housekeeper echoed, “Yeah. You look graceful in dresses slit to the thigh while you are not pregnant. But as you look pregnant now, it does look somewhat strange.”
Song Yunxuan smiled, stroking her belly, “Yep. But now it’s too late to sew it.”
“How about wearing the spare set?”
“The spare set?”
“Yes. a.s.sistant Mei prepared it for you. It’s also customized according to your size.” The housekeeper answered with a smile.
Song Yunxuan narrowed her eyes and turned to look at Mei Qi, wondering, “You customized a wedding dress for me? When did you do that?”
Song Yunxuan had never asked Mei Qi to do that.
Mei Qi replied, “It was finished ten days ago. I was just worried that it might not fit you as you would probably look pregnant on the wedding day.”
“Thanks. That’s very thoughtful of you.”
The housekeeper stood aside, smiling.
Mei Qi said to the housekeeper, “Help to fetch that wedding dress.”
“OK.” Hearing Mei Qi’s order, the housekeeper went to fetch the wedding dress.
After the housekeeper left the room, Song Yunxuan asked, “When did you customize it for me?”
“Last night. Wear this set. It fits you well.”
Mei Qi advised.
Song Yunxuan looked at Mei Qi thoughtfully, asking, “Did Shao Tianze make his move?”
“Yes. He dispatched someone to contact Lu Feng this morning.”
“How did Lu Feng react?”
Song Yunxuan asked Mei Qi.
Mei Qi replied, “Nothing special until Chu Mingxin wandered in front of the Lu Family and left.”
Hearing that, Song Yunxuan couldn’t help chuckling, “It appears that you think I’m still of use to him.”
“You are just lowering yourself.”
“Nothing like that.” Song Yunxuan replied, “Only if I’m of use to the other party will they cooperate with me. You know that. Therefore, it’s good that I’m still of use to Lu Feng.”
“That’s right.”
This was the only reason that Lu Feng chose to side with her and help the Song Family a lot after Chu Mochen died.
“However, Lu Feng values Chu Mingxin more than me.”
Song Yunxuan said.
Hearing that, Mei Qi asked, “So what’s your plan?”
“It won’t do much good to Lu Feng if he betrays me.”
“He will get Chu Mingxin, a woman he loves for a long time.”
Men were always like this, eaten up with pa.s.sion.
Acting on impulse could get one into trouble.
Song Yunxuan smiled, saying, “Though Lu Feng has feelings for Chu Mingxin now, after Shao Tianze hands Chu Mingxin over to Lu Feng, he may not help Shao Tianze to fight against me after weighing the pros and cons.”
“I’m listening.”
“How can he be hung up on a woman who once abandoned him for just one million?”
Song Yunxuan said with a smile.
Mei Qi pondered for a moment, replying, “He’s just not reconciled.”
“Yes, that’s the only reason. Except for that, I can’t think of any other reasons.”
The housekeeper wasted no time in fetching the wedding dress mentioned by Mei Qi.
Seeing the spare set of the wedding dress, Song Yunxuan turned to look at Mei Qi, asking, “Who designed this?”
“Gu Changge’s private designer.”
Song Yunxuan remained silent for a moment. Then she walked up and took over that wedding dress.
This wedding dress was pure white with no laces or jewelry.
But it was as white as a wing, whose skirt was spread down from the waistline.
The skirt was designed one layer after another, making it look like a petal.
“Gu Changge doesn’t like dresses with bustles.”
None of the dresses Gu Changge chose had bustles.
And the wedding dress Mei Qi asked the housekeeper to bring back also had no bustles.
The skirts were made of thin white yarn and organza.
There were no other colors or slight wrinkles on the wedding dress.
“It’s really beautiful.”
Song Yunxuan stroked the wedding dress.
Mei Qi said, “Since you think it’s beautiful, how about trying it on now?”
Song Yunxuan nodded and entered the changing room to change into the wedding dress.
The housekeeper also entered to help her.
When Song Yunxuan got dressed, she walked out and stood in front of the mirror.
Both the housekeeper and Mei Qi were stunned.
Compared with the colorful wedding dresses with fussy designs, the simple style fitted Song Yunxuan more.
A simple color was enough to make her look like a fairy.
“Wow! You look amazing in that wedding dress.”
The housekeeper enjoyed the wedding dress with envy, exclaiming, “If only I can wear such wedding dresses at my wedding.”
Hearing the housekeeper’s words, Song Yunxuan said, “I’ll give you a nice wedding dress when you get married.”
“Really?” The housekeeper’s eyes were immediately filled with grat.i.tude. “Thank you, Miss Song!”
Song Yunxuan looked at herself in the mirror smilingly.
Though she wore a smile, she felt an inexpressible sadness.
It would have been great if Chu Mochen had been alive.
If so, Song Yunxuan would have surely worn it for Chu Mochen to see.
She wanted Chu Mochen to see how beautiful she could be.
Song Yunxuan lowered her eyes.
Thinking of Chu Mochen’s death, she could only hold the thoughts which could never come true.
Meanwhile, in the Shao Family,
Lu Feng couldn’t help but narrow his eyes when looking at Chu Mingxin.
“Are you happy to see your old friend again?”
Shao Tianze asked Lu Feng with a smile.
However, Lu Feng did not feel happy at all and he even felt the woman in front of him was such an eyesore.
“How could you be here?”
Lu Feng asked the woman sitting across the table, who didn’t dare to look up at him.
Chu Mingxin pressed her lips, replying, “Mr. Shao wanted me to help with something, so I came over.”
“You spent all the one million my family gave you, right?”
Chu Mingxin’s hands balled into fists.
Back then, she was really too young and ignorant. She thought that one million was a large fortune.
When she was aging and there were no reliable men around her, she began to realize that it was such a small sum of money.
Therefore, when Shao Tianze showed her a five-million check, she agreed to what Shao Tianze put forward without thinking twice.
It was just that she still felt somewhat guilty when seeing Lu Feng.
“Lu Feng, it was all my fault. I shouldn’t have listened to them and left you.”
“It’s better for such women like you to leave me. What’s the use of such women that could be bought over by just one million?”
Lu Feng narrowed his eyes, looking at Chu Mingxin with loathing.
Even though Shao Tianze noticed Lu Feng’s dislike of Chu Mingxin,
He was still sure that Lu Feng would accept his request.
After Lu Feng finished his words, he saw that Chu Mingxin still sat mute on that sofa like a rube.
Thus he asked her, “How much money did Shao Tianze give you this time to make you return to Yuncheng?”
Lu Feng did not beat around the bush.
Chu Mingxin looked up. After seeing Lu Feng’s eyes full of disgust, she hastily looked down again.
Shao Tianze noticed that Chu Mingxin couldn’t even talk like a normal person in front of Lu Feng.
Thus he answered for Chu Mingxin, “A five-million check.”
“She spent all the one million in just a couple of years. How much longer do you think she can live on with five million?”
As Chu Mingxin spent money like water, she would spend all the five million in her forties.
After all, the only thing the woman knew was to spend money. She did not know how to investigate at all.
Therefore, no matter how much money she was given, she would finally spend it all. Moreover, it was just five million.
Hearing Lu Feng’s sarcasm, Shao Tianze said with a smile, “If you are willing to help me, I’ll give Miss Chu five million every year after everything is settled. It’s just a piece of cake.”
When Chu Mingxin heard Shao Tianze’s words, her eyes lit up.
If Chu Mingxin could get five million every year, her life would be complete.
And she did not have to work at all. She could live in whatever way she wanted.
“How can I help?”
“I think you’ve heard of how Yuan Xi died.”
“Yuan Xi?”
“You’re right.”
Shao Tianze nodded.
“How does his death have anything to do with me?”
Lu Feng didn’t have time to care about anything concerning Yuan Xi.
Hearing that he wanted to disa.s.sociate himself from it, Shao Tianze said, “Of course, I know you have nothing to do with Yuan Xi’s death.”
“So what do you see me for?”
Lu Feng asked Shao Tianze, pulling a long face.
Shao Tianze smiled, replying, “Though you have nothing to do with it, it has something to do with your fiancee.”
“You mean Song Yunxuan?”
“Yes.” With this, Shao Tianze turned to look at Chu Mingxin, continuing, “Miss Chu has been missing you these years, so she has never seen any other men.”
“So?”
Lu Feng asked Shao Tianze.
Shao Tianze smiled, saying, “If you are willing to help me, I can pair you two off.”
Lu Feng sneered, “If I don’t help you, you’ll kill her, right?”
Shao Tianze did not respond to that question.
Instead, he rested his eyes on Chu Mingxin.
Shao Tianze’s gaze made Chu Mingxin give an involuntary shudder.
Lu Feng understood what Shao Tianze meant. Despite the fact that he detested Chu Mingxin,
He once loved Chu Mingxin and couldn’t let go now.
Therefore, he asked Shao Tianze, “How can I help you?”
“Betray Song Yunxuan.” Shao Tianze replied.
