The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 848 - 271: Lu Jingchen Married You for Another Purpose

Chapter 848: Chapter 271: Lu Jingchen Married You for Another Purpose

To be honest, when Mrs. Song’s attitude suddenly took a 180-degree turn over the phone, Song Qiao was truly shocked, especially as Mrs. Song was almost crying and begging her to see Father Song.

Song Qiao couldn’t figure out what had prompted such a drastic change in Mrs. Song. Even if Father Song was hospitalized, there was no need for such begging.

She couldn’t forget what Mrs. Song’s attitude towards her used to be like. Her heart was already filled with those past feelings, and this sudden change made her mind overflow with various thoughts all at once.

Upon hearing her words, Father Song’s expression changed noticeably, but as he was still weak, he remained silent for a moment before continuing, "I haven’t been good to you before, and I’m here to apologize. I don’t expect you to forgive me, I just..."

"The one you should apologize to is not me, but my mother." Before Father Song could finish, Song Qiao interrupted him coldly, her eyes suddenly seeming to be filled with a chilling coldness as she continued, "From beginning to end, the person you have truly wronged is my mother, your first wife. I’ve always thought you and my mother could live quietly together for a lifetime, but then you brought Song Xi and her mother into the family. Do you even realize how disappointed my mother and I have been with you?"

Father Song’s face suddenly turned ashen, staring in a somewhat dazed manner at his daughter in front of him.

In his memory, this eldest daughter had always been extremely sensible and well-behaved, never giving them cause for worry. But ever since his wife passed away and he married Song Xi’s mother into the Song Family, everything started to change slowly.

Song Qiao looked at the middle-aged man lying there, who seemed to have aged ten or twenty years in an instant. In her memory, this man had always been very spirited and confident, even though he was actually in his fifties, he appeared more like a man in his forties, as he never had a beer belly and maintained his skin well. His daughter was in her twenties, yet there were still young women in their twenties who fancied such a man.

This was probably what they called Uncle-chasers.

But maybe it was because the relationship between the father and daughter had never been good, after staying for a while, Song Qiao felt she couldn’t stay any longer. The atmosphere was as silent and awkward as usual, and after glancing around the ward, it seemed the caregiver wouldn’t return quickly, but she didn’t need to worry much, as there were doctors and nurses in the hospital.

Moreover, the VIP wards in this hospital were for the wealthy to burn money on, and patients in VIP rooms were almost like patrons of the hospital, so it seemed the hospital adopted a one-on-one nursing care for patients in VIP rooms.

Taking a deep breath, she tried her best to hold back her impatience that was about to break through and directly said, "If there’s nothing else to say, I’ll head back now."

The wedding with Lu Jingchen was approaching, everyone at the villa was busy, and she needed to start preparing some things for the wedding and learn what to be mindful of during the ceremony.

After all, it was her first marriage, although she had attended others’ weddings before, it was not the same.

Father Song pursed his lips, looking lost, without saying a word.

Song Qiao cast a casual glance at him before heading straight to the door, but as she reached the door, his voice came from behind, "Have you ever thought that Lu Jingchen might have other motives for marrying you?"

Song Qiao stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him, meeting his slightly displeased eyes.

After a pause, she tugged at the corner of her mouth with a smile and said, "I only know that I have other motives for marrying Lu Jingchen."

Upon hearing her words, Father Song’s eyes widened instantly, looking at her in disbelief.

But Song Qiao didn’t bother with anything else, she directly opened the ward door and walked out.

Undeniably, she did indeed have other motives for marrying Lu Jingchen, and her target—was the Song Family.

Yet seeing Father Song like this now did make her a bit hesitant, unsure whether or not to continue her plans.

However, if she didn’t proceed, the Song Family would inevitably fall into outsiders’ hands sooner or later. Song Xi’s mother... was not a simple person.

A woman who could even exploit her own daughter Song Xi was not worth sparing.

...

As the wedding on the 15th draws near, every newspaper and magazine report becomes more frenzied, especially when the PR department of CK Group released the wedding photos of Lu Jingchen and Song Qiao, which instantly became headlines in major magazines and newspapers, and within less than an hour, it topped the Weibo trending list.

Because she was the wife of the CEO of CK Group, people in the company looked at her with a kind of... reverent gaze, but in reality, there were also many eyes filled with envy and jealousy, which Song Qiao simply chose to ignore.

After the wedding photoshoot that day, Song Qiao hadn’t looked at them again. In the morning when she went to work, Lu An’an came over with a phone to show her, telling her that their wedding photos became the most shared and commented topic on Weibo ever, which made her feel astonished.

However, when she saw those few wedding photos with different outfits and poses in the phone, she couldn’t help but sigh inwardly that Lu Jingchen indeed looked extremely photogenic, even herself standing beside him appeared to be somewhat radiated by his glow.

Overall, there were only two words to describe their wedding photos—beautiful!

This wasn’t her being vain, but rather the photos were genuinely beautiful, not sure whether it was really their good looks as a couple, or the photographer’s excellent photography skills.

Lu An’an leaned her head forward, her eyes shining as she gossiped, "According to my brother’s assistant just now, my brother set the wedding photo of you and him as his phone wallpaper. See how much he loves you..."

Song Qiao heard this, glanced at her casually, but smiled and said, "Are you sure it’s not because your brother thinks he looks too good in the photo, so he set it as his phone wallpaper?"

Lu An’an, "..." I’m at a loss for words, but is this really the case?

Just as Lu An’an was chatting, Shen Yi’s secretary walked straight up to them. Seeing this, Lu An’an immediately returned to her seat to start working.

The female secretary stood in front of Song Qiao, smiled and said, "Song Qiao, President Shen wants to see you."

Song Qiao was taken aback. It seemed that Shen Yi hadn’t contacted her during this period. Even though they were in the same company, they hadn’t met. Previously, they would sometimes chat on Weixin after work.

Although, most of the time, it was about work.

She looked up at the secretary in front of her, tugged at her lips, and immediately said, "Okay, I understand. I’ll go up right away."

"Alright then, I’ll get back to work. You can just go straight into the office to meet President Shen later."

Song Qiao responded, indicating she understood.

...

Five minutes later, Song Qiao appeared at the door of Shen Yi’s office. She raised her hand and knocked on the door, immediately hearing a deep, pleasant voice, "Come in."

Song Qiao pushed the door open and went inside, only to be surprised to find that it wasn’t just Shen Yi in the office. Even Lin Musen, who rarely appeared at the company and could be described with ’like seeing the head of the dragon without seeing the tail’, was there. And there was also... Gu Xicheng!

Is this a three-way interrogation?

Shen Yi was sitting at his desk, having just signed a document. When he looked up, he saw Song Qiao standing at the door not coming in. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Little Qiao, why aren’t you coming in? Is it cooler by the door?"

Song Qiao, "... Senior, you’re joking again." She said this as she obediently walked in and closed the door behind her.

Shen Yi directly instructed her to sit in the sofa area, then picked up the internal phone and ordered, "Prepare three cups of coffee and a cup of milk."

As soon as Shen Yi finished speaking, Lin Musen immediately chuckled and said, "I want milk too. Didn’t you know I’ve quit coffee recently? I heard drinking too much coffee turns you into an idiot."

Shen Yi, "... Prepare two cups of milk and two cups of tea."

Just as Shen Yi finished speaking, Lin Musen seemed to light up and said, "You have tea here? Then I don’t want coffee, I want tea."

Shen Yi, "..." Damn, I feel like throwing you out right now.

In the end, Shen Yi asked the secretary to prepare a pot of tea and a cup of milk.

Throughout the whole time, Song Qiao sat there, glancing at Shen Yi, then at Lin Musen, inexplicably feeling that something was going on between them...

Gu Xicheng’s gaze fell on Song Qiao, his warm voice as pleasant as a babbling brook, "Sister-in-law, long time no see. Haven’t seen you for a few months and I find you’ve become more mature."

Does this mean he’s saying she’s old?

Song Qiao’s gaze fell on him, tugged at the corner of her mouth and nodded, looking him up and down, she smiled and said, "Indeed, long time no see. Jingchen mentioned you were recently sent to Africa to work on a case. You seem to have gotten quite the tan."

Hearing Song Qiao’s words, Gu Xicheng’s face immediately darkened. He was already quite tanned, and now he looked even darker.

Lin Musen chuckled from the side, almost laughing while holding his belly, his eyes nearly squinting into slits as he said, "We were just talking about how tanned he got earlier, and we even gave him the nickname ’Little Black’.

Gu Xicheng heard Lin Musen’s words and shot him a cold glare, saying one word coldly, "Scram!"

This group of people just keeps bringing up the sore spots. Although he’s not someone obsessed with appearance and thinks tanned skin looks healthy, this time he really got quite dark.
