Chapter 456 Yunjia’s Funeral Pt. 2
All that Gu Changle said in the first place was to pave the way for the very request.
Shao Tianze was not silly. He could understand what she meant, and he knew clearly that she wanted to find an excuse to enter the Shao enterprise.
It was just that he didn’t want Gu Changle to enter the Shao enterprise.
No matter how many times she asked, he would not let her enter the Shao enterprise.
It didn’t need further discussion.
He pressed his lips, looking at Gu Changle calmly and earnestly. He replied, “I don’t want you to focus on your career just like Changge did.”
He just wanted Gu Changle to be around him and be his wife. He didn’t want her to be a strong woman.
He hoped that Gu Changle could be different from Gu Changge.
However, things would not work out as he hoped.
After being rejected, Gu Changle frowned, and her eyes glowed with the grievance. She murmured, “I just want to be with you every moment.”
“I go home on time every day, so you can always be with me. Therefore, you don’t need to work with me in the Shao enterprise.”
Gu Changle frowned and grasped his pajamas with her fingers, still unwilling to let the chance slip. She said, “But it’s really boring to stay at home all day.”
“You can get a facial, go shopping, or do charity work. If it’s still boring, you may adopt a kid.”
He really shouldn’t have said that.
No sooner had he said that she might adopt a kid than Gu Changle let go of his pajamas, asking doubtfully, “You hate it that I can’t give you a baby?”
Gu Changle pressed her lips, looking at him with grief in her eyes.
Shao Tianze immediately remembered that it was Gu Changle’s sore spot, so he hastily coaxed her, “No, that’s not what I meant.”
“Bulls.h.i.t!” Gu Changle got out of bed and strode to the door, leaving the words, “The reason you don’t want me to enter the company is that you want a b.i.t.c.h to give a baby to you, right?”
Seeing that she strode to the door, Shao Tianze tried to stop her and explain himself.
However, no sooner had he jumped off the bed than Gu Changle stormed off, slamming the door behind her.
Hearing the big noise of the door slamming, Shao Tianze gave up chasing her.
He sunk back on the bed and covered his forehead with his hand, letting out a sigh.
He didn’t want Gu Changle to be like Gu Changge.
If Gu Changle had followed in Gu Changge’s footsteps, his love for her would have been dimmed no matter how deep it had once been.
Once a woman was ambitious, her love would not be pure anymore.
Some people could marry someone they didn’t love just for money.
And some could even take risks to commit murder and arson.
As long as two people had a benefit-based relationship, they would try to hurt the other when there was a conflict of interest.
The last thing he wanted to do was to hurt Gu Changle.
However, Gu Changle insisted on entering the Shao enterprise.
The first time Gu Changle mentioned this, he refused her.
Now it was the second time she brought it up, and he could still refuse her.
However, as long as Gu Changle didn’t give up, she would bring it up again and again.
Considering her character, it was impossible for her to give up until he compromised.
…
After rushing out of the bedroom, Gu Changle slowed down.
She thought that Shao Tianze would chase after her.
However, after waiting for a few minutes in the corridor outside the door, she found that Shao Tianze still did not rush out to look for her.
Seeing this, her mood worsened.
She felt that she was about to explode with anger.
If Shao Tianze had rushed out to chase her when she had just stormed off, she could have taken the opportunity to bring up the matter of entering the Shao enterprise again. And Shao Tianze would probably agree as he didn’t want to make her angry.
However, Shao Tianze hadn’t rushed out after several minutes.
Her idea and plan failed to work.
She was not reconciled to her failure, and she did not give up.
She wanted to enter the Shao enterprise, which was her dream.
She had already owned the man who had once been Gu Changge’s and had got his favor and love. Besides, she had even eradicated Song Yunjia, who had once been the stumbling block.
The next thing she wanted was to have a legendary and admirable life as Gu Changge did.
Gu Changge was known as the legend businesswoman of the whole Yuncheng. Why couldn’t she, who was also the daughter from the Gu Family, also be a legend like Gu Changge in the business world?
She clenched her fingers and began to think about how to mention the issue to Shao Tianze again and let him agree.
After Gu Changle left the bedroom, Shao Tianze closed his eyes and began to reflect on the last time he met Song Yunjia.
The story started yesterday morning.
At that time, he didn’t expect that Song Yunjia would call him at his company to ask to meet him.
Learning that the call was from Song Yunjia, Shao Tianze had already decided to refuse to answer the call.
However, the secretary’s next sentence let Shao Tianze abandon the idea of refusing to answer the call.
The secretary said, “Chairman Shao, Miss Song said that she would turn herself in if you refused to meet her.”
The words were full of threats.
Song Yunjia just wanted to tell Shao Tianze that if he refused to see her this afternoon.
She would directly go to the police station and tell the police about the real cause of Gu Changge’s death.
The threat worked, and Shao Tianze answered the phone in person. On the other end, Song Yunjia said nothing but the appointed time and place. Then she hung up.
The place Song Yunjia mentioned was the cafe in Xima Bay.
Shao Tianze was quite familiar with that cafe, which he used to have coffee with Gu Changge when he studied in university.
And every time he asked Gu Changge out, Song Yunjia and Gu Changle would also come along.
Not only was he quite familiar with the cafe, Song Yunjia and Gu Changle were also very familiar with it.
He kept the appointment.
And Song Yunjia had already been waiting there in her hospital gown.
As she was wearing a hospital gown, she chose to meet him in an alley adjacent to an eighteenth-floor residential building instead of meeting him inside the cafe.
Seeing Song Yunjia, Shao Tianze felt that she had lost much weight when she was in hospital. And even her eyes had become different from ever before.
In the past, every time Song Yunjia met him, her eyes were full of tenderness.
However, now her eyes were full of gloom.
Song Yunjia’s eyes were still filled with him, yet her eyes were no longer as gentle as before.
She asked him, “Did you or Gu Changle hire the three men who hurt me?”
Being questioned by her, he pressed his lips, lying, “How could Changle and I hire the people who hurt you?”
“You still want to make Song Yunxuan the scapegoat until now?”
“Only Song Yunxuan could do such heartless things to you.” He spoke in a firm voice.
However, after hearing this, Song Yunjia couldn’t help but sneer, “Shao Tianze, no one else can lie to me this calmly under this circ.u.mstance except you.”
Shao Tianze looked at her with a poker face, trying to weasel his way out of it, “I didn’t lie to you, and I don’t have the reason to hurt you.”
“You don’t have the reason?” Song Yunjia asked him in reply, “Do you forget that I know you are the one who killed Gu Changge?”
Song Yunjia’s words silenced Shao Tianze.
Song Yunjia did know too much.
If she hadn’t known the cause of Gu Changge’s death, they would have been possible to maintain the relationship of friends or lovers.
However, Song Yunjia knew the cause of Gu Changge’s death.
If she had told some clues to the ones who were investigating the cause of Gu Changge’s death, a series of clues and evidence would have been found out one after another.
And all the evidence would be fatal to Shao Tianze.
Shao Tianze pressed his lips, saying, “You won’t spill out those things.”
Song Yunjia sneered, “How can you be so sure?”
Shao Tianze looked at her eyes gently, replying, “Cause I know you love me.”
However, though the words showed that he trusted Song Yunjia, they provoked Song Yunjia.
Hearing this, Song Yunjia couldn’t help striding forward and grabbing his collar, questioning him furiously, “Since you know I love you, why did you let other men rape me?! Why?!”
Song Yunjia was crazy with pain.
And the look on her face became somewhat hysterical.
Shao Tianze had never seen Song Yunjia being this excited before.
Now he was shocked on seeing her like this.
Song Yunjia looked at him, saying earnestly, “You have always been my one and only. I have been waiting for these many years and have a.s.sisted you with a number of things, but what have you done? You could only let me be raped. I’m just a p.a.w.n in your plot. Your mind has already been taken up with Gu Changle, and we… we are only the stepping-stones you used to pave the way for Gu Changle.”
The more she talked, the more upset she was. As if she felt that everything she had done was meaningless, she promptly let go of Shao Tianze’s collar, giving a wry smile.
Meanwhile, she didn’t stop murmuring to herself.
“When you were with Gu Changge, Gu Changge regarded you as her husband. I joined with you to kill Gu Changge. After eradicating Gu Changge, you should know how much I love you and that I’m willing to do anything for you. However, what I risked my life to get was your worry, your betrayal, and your plot aiming at killing me.”
The more Song Yunjia talked, the more pain she felt. And she couldn’t help but squat down as if she could not take the pain.
She covered her face with her hands, and tears flowed down from her eyes.
However, no matter how much tears flowed from her eyes, Shao Tianze was still being indifferent.
When Song Yunjia looked up, what she saw was Shao Tianze’s indifference and heartlessness.
She looked up at Shao Tianze and suddenly asked him, “Do you want me to die?”
Shao Tianze knew that Song Yunjia knew most of the truth, so he came straight to the point, “As long as you keep your mouth shut, I won’t kill you.”
Song Yunjia nodded, replying, “I see. You want me to die.”
Song Yunjia nodded lightly, yet her voice was in despair.
He didn’t know what Song Yunjia was going to do next, but he instinctively had a very bad premonition.
