Chapter 842 The New Villa in the Southern Mountain
Gu Changle was smart, but only about how to read a man’s mind.
When it came to running a business, Gu Changge had a lot more experience than Gu Changle.
Gu Changge was raised and trained by Gu Cheng as the only inheritor of the Gu Family, after all.
The cruelty and desperation Gu Changge had experienced were the kind of thing Gu Changle, who grew up in a safe environment, would never know.
When Gu Changge was fighting with those women belonging to her father to keep her ident.i.ty as the only recognized child and the eldest daughter of the Gu Family, Gu Changle just needed to stand there and watch.
Gu Changle was the nominal eldest daughter in the Gu Family.
No matter who would become the successor of the Gu Family, the eldest one or the illegitimate one, Gu Changle’s ident.i.ty as an adopted daughter would never change.
It was an ident.i.ty that could keep her safe in a neutral spot in the endless power struggle of the Gu Family.
And she could pretend to know nothing given her young age.
Song Yunxuan’s words confused Mei Qi.
He asked casually, “Who’s useless?”
“Shao Tianze.”
Song Yunxuan didn’t hide and told him instantly.
Mei Qi followed Song Yunxuan’s gaze and looked at the screen, on which he saw the look in Gu Changle’s eyes and her expression when she looked at Shao Tianze.
Maybe Song Yunxuan was right.
Shao Tianze was useless, indeed.
They could tell from Gu Changle’s expression that she was planning something.
Her desire for the Shao enterprise was the most obvious one.
Now that Shao Tianze became disabled, he would let a relatively trusted person take charge of the Shao enterprise.
Gu Changle was just the one Shao Tianze trusted.
But Shao Tianze didn’t allow Gu Changle to take charge of the Shao enterprise immediately.
It was because Shao Tianze just partly found out what sort of person Gu Changle was.
“You mean Shao Tianze is now useless for Gu Changle?”
Mei Qi asked Song Yunxuan.
Song Yunxuan smiled and put the cup aside.
“If I were Gu Changle, I wouldn’t see him useless as long as he could think. Shao Tianze held the same thought, so he killed Gu Changge back there. But Gu Changle wouldn’t think so.”
Gu Changle was a shallow no-brainer.
Song Yunxuan didn’t say it out, and she didn’t have to. Mei Qi understood her meaning, anyway.
She was right. Gu Changle was a shallow and silly woman.
What she did best in her life was to guess a man’s thoughts and seduce them.
“She inherited everything from Yang Yang but not even one merit from Gu Cheng.”
If Gu Changle could learn from Gu Cheng thirty percent of the schemes and means, she could stop Gu Changge from developing and taking revenge after reincarnation.
But she didn’t learn anything.
That was why Gu Changge could prosper and take revenge successfully.
Song Yunxuan took a deep breath.
Mei Qi asked, “What’s your plan, then, Manager Song?”
Hearing this, Song Yunxuan smiled and gave him the cup, saying, “Have some more tea.”
“It’s good for you to drink more water as a pregnant woman, but it could be bothering when you…”
Mei Qi said.
Song Yunxuan smiled, saying, “It’s fine.”
Wearing an easy look, she felt her swollen belly with her fingers and said smilingly, “Actually, it feels good to be pregnant.”
Chu Mochen’s child was in her belly.
She could help Chu Mochen continue his bloodline. That was good enough for her.
There was then a calm period.
Shao Tianze took a cure in the hospital.
Song Yunxuan stayed at home for rest and went back to check Shao Tianze’s track occasionally.
Shao Tianze couldn’t leave the hospital in a short time, and Gu Changle still couldn’t handle the business of the Shao enterprise deftly.
Moreover, the Song Family and the Chu Family were intentionally suppressing the Shao Family. How could the Shao Family bring about an upswing?
The Shao enterprise was down to the dust at the time.
Some of the higher managers of the Shao enterprise even ran away with the money.
What was more ridiculous, to find a stronger backer, weatherc.o.c.ks in the Shao enterprise came to Song Yunxuan and claimed that they would tell her anything she needed about the Shao enterprise.
They were willing to speak without reserve.
That really made Song Yunxuan laugh.
But it was quite understandable.
When a man was going downhill, everyone would give him a push.
In the afternoon, Song Yunxuan turned away a manager coming secretly from the Shao enterprise and went out for a walk.
It was cold at the end of March.
Though the spring was coming, she still felt the wind was like a cold knife cutting her face unless she put on more clothes.
In the company of Mei Qi, Song Yunxuan walked around the spring a few times. She looked at the gra.s.s and trees from afar, saying suddenly, “The villa is too close to the urban.”
Hearing this, Mei Qi asked her, “You want a quiet place?”
“The Southern Mountain is a good place.”
Hearing her words, Mei Qi understood immediately, saying, “A villa in the Southern Mountain?”
“Go find an architect and talk about that land.”
Mei Qi took the order efficiently and then sent his man to inquire about the place in the evening.
After dinner, Mei Qi told Song Yunxuan that the place had been taken already.
She frowned.
Mei Qi said, “My man in the Southern Mountain told me that a man bought the place to build a villa because his wife loves there.”
Song Yunxuan pondered for a moment.
Mei Qi asked, “Should we increase our price to buy the land from him?”
Hearing this, Song Yunxuan pondered and said smilingly, “Let’s see the surroundings first.”
“Maybe we should go a few days later when the weather gets warm,” Mei Qi asked for her opinion.
Smilingly, she said, “We’ll go tomorrow.”
“But it might be cold tomorrow.”
“It’s fine. I like that place. They’ll see my eagerness for that place if I go there in such cold weather.”
Mei Qi understood her subtext when he heard this.
He pondered.
Then, he smiled, saying, “Well, it’s up to you, Manager Song.”
Hearing that, Song Yunxuan laughed, saying, “You’ve been so responsive.”
“Well, you are like my little master.”
“Little master?”
“You’re also like my daughter.”
Mei Qi said.
Song Yunxuan stood up and looked at the darkness out of the window, saying, “You’re years younger than my father.”
“Then what about a younger sister?”
“Anyway, I’m like your family, right?”
Standing near the bed and immersed in the endless darkness, Song Yunxuan looked at Mei Qi quietly.
Mei Qi looked back at her, feeling lost, somehow.
Suddenly and dreamily, he saw Gu Changge’s face on Song Yunxuan’s.
“Yes, you’re like my family.”
They had known each other for so many years, and Mei Qi watched Gu Changge growing up. Though she died once and changed to a new body, they still met.
If that couldn’t be called destiny, what was it?
This kinship was good enough for her.
Song Yunxuan wanted to see the place, so Mei Qi went there with her.
It was cold in the early spring.
Song Yunxuan got off the car and walked up hills after they arrived at the foot of the hill.
Mei Qi was worried about her. He said, “We can drive up hills. You’ll be tired if you start walking from here.”
“It’s alright,” Song Yunxuan looked up at the mountain road, saying, “I want to walk, and I may look at the environment in the mountain.”
The Southern Mountain was a low hill, and the surrounding areas were rather flat.
There was the newly paved cement road at the foot of the hill.
Many ginkgo trees and red maple trees grew on both sides of the cement road.
In winter, the leaves were fallen, and only several dry leaves hung on the branches of ginkgo trees they randomly saw.
She stopped, took a look at the scenery, and then turned to leave.
Mei Qi followed her.
Mei Qi was worried about Song Yunxuan’s safety. Song Yunxuan seemed to know his thought and said, “Shao Tianze doesn’t have time to pick on me now. He’s busy enough with his own affairs, after all.”
“You’re right,” Mei Qi said.
When Song Yunxuan was on the first round of the mountain road, she said smilingly, “It’s a good place. Maybe my villa should be built here.”
Song Yunxuan pointed at the road at the foot of the hill and circled it with her finger.
Knowing that Song Yunxuan liked this spot, Mei Qi kept it in mind.
But it could be difficult to buy the place from its owner.
“Manager Song?”
“What?”
Song Yunxuan turned to Mei Qi.
When she just turned her head, she saw a black Rolls-Royce coming to them.
Song Yunxuan stared at the car.
Mei Qi also looked at it.
They didn’t think they were just tourists to the Southern Mountain.
As expected, the car parked next to them.
Then, a beautiful woman in her suit dress got off the car.
She was a blonde and looked about thirty, wearing a pair of black-framed gla.s.ses.
She looked just like an office girl or a female executive.
It was unsurprising for Song Yunxuan to see this woman.
So she wrapped her fox-fur coat more closely around herself, saying with a gentle smile, “She must be sent by the landowner.”
“Are you sure, Manager Song?”
Mei Qi asked Song Yunxuan.
Song Yunxuan nodded, saying, “Yes, I’m sure.”
Her words were soon confirmed. When she just said that, the blond woman came to them straightly.
She said to Song Yunxuan, “Sorry, Miss. You’re now on my boss’s territory.”
“Your purpose was so obvious, wasn’t it?”
Song Yunxuan said to that woman.
The woman went straight, “I’m Beyonce, an investment advisor. My boss heard that you want this place, so he told me to check it out. I never expected to meet you here, Miss Song. What a coincidence!”
Was it a coincidence?
Song Yunxuan didn’t think it was simply a coincidence to meet the advisor of the landowner today.
“I really want this place, so may I talk to your boss?”
Song Yunxuan looked at Beyonce with a smile.
Beyonce wore a perfect smile, saying, “My boss went abroad, so he can’t meet you right now.”
