Chapter 60 Being Deceived
Chapter 60 Being Deceived
I understand the principle that one is obligated to accept favors.
How could a shrewd businesswoman like Song Yafei give me these things worth hundreds of millions for no reason?
This is highly suspicious!
Seeing that I didn't take it, Song Yafei took the initiative to explain, "You can use these things as you see fit. This is a right you should enjoy as my husband."
If it's due, why are you only giving it to me now?
However, there is another matter that needs to be negotiated, and that is the bargaining chip.
"What are the conditions?" I asked her directly.
After spending more time with her, I also learned about her way of doing things.
Song Yafei seemed not to have expected me to be so responsive, so she didn't hesitate.
"There's only one condition: you can't go out and show your face in public anymore!"
“You’ve been getting very close to Professor Xie lately. You should know that some public accounts and newspapers have already taken notice of you and are eager to make a move.”
"you understand?"
To show one's face in public?
This reminds me of Yu Chengliang; wouldn't this word be more suitable for him?
It's still true that favoritism breeds arrogance!
She just had a bad day at the studio, and now she's complaining to her?
"You're doing this to help Yu Chengliang?"
It's hard for me not to think that way.
I don't know what I was thinking, but I just asked that question.
The answer is already obvious, so I've just made a fool of myself.
Song Yafei frowned, a hint of confusion in her eyes. "What does this have to do with him? If you work for someone else, what will they think of me, the president of the Song Group?"
"Is the company about to go bankrupt, and you're needed to make money to keep it afloat?"
Whether it was for him or not, I have no way of knowing.
But whether it's for him or for something else, I won't agree.
I did not agree to Song Yafei's request. "All you want is to cooperate with your husband in public. As for what I do in private, as long as it doesn't exceed the bounds of our relationship, you have no right to say no."
"If you want others to think that the Song family is powerful and that my husband and I are a loving couple, why don't you just transfer some shares to me, how about 2%? Wouldn't that be a better way?"
Upon hearing this, Song Yafei laughed, "Zhang Tian, do you know how much two percent of the company's shares are worth?"
"You dare to be greedy! You look down on small amounts of money, but you dare to ask for big money!"
I didn't think about or calculate how much it cost, but I knew it was a lot.
I just said it casually, precisely because she couldn't do it.
Therefore, she has no right to demand anything from me.
“I didn’t think about how much money it was. This isn’t to make people think that the Song family is powerful and has a solid foundation.”
I didn't even expect her to agree; it was just something she said casually.
Unexpectedly, she agreed without hesitation and immediately called Assistant Luo to ask him to prepare the share transfer agreement.
Before we had even finished packing, Song Yafei pulled me back to our bridal chamber, and she took back the file folder from earlier.
She opened the middle drawer and took out a jewelry box.
I know there are two rings in the box, our wedding rings.
I had already taken it off and put it inside when I decided to get a divorce.
Song Yafei opened the jewelry box, picked up the men's ring, and put it on my finger without thinking.
I took this ring off myself a few months ago, and now she's put it back on.
I put the ring on and bent my finger.
Looking at the familiar ring on her hand, she no longer felt the joy and happiness she had on her wedding day.
Seeing that I was standing there in a daze and didn't put it on for her, Song Yafei frowned unhappily.
These two rings are so important; they should be worn on formal occasions. I really don't want to put them on her finger against my will.
My hesitation annoyed Song Yafei, who then brought her hand close to my face.
When I couldn't think of a good excuse to reject her, I thought of Yu Chengliang.
"By putting on the wedding ring, Yu Chengliang will be officially recognized as the mistress. Are you sure he can handle that?"
"What does this have to do with him? When have you ever been so concerned about him?" Song Yafei's tone was flat, showing no sign of wanting to protect Yu Chengliang.
She seemed to notice my lack of cooperation, and reached out to grab my collar, forcing me to bend down and move closer to her.
She looked up and met my gaze, refusing to back down in the slightest.
"You have to do what you say you'll do! What you want, I'll give you. You have to cooperate with these superficial formalities, whether you want to or not."
"Do you think I'm having a romantic conversation with you? We're in a client-contractor relationship now, and I have to fulfill all my obligations."
Yes, it's just a collaboration, why am I being so dramatic?
Such a solemn event as exchanging rings has somehow turned into a collaboration.
It's truly heartbreaking!
But I also know that I can't refuse.
I took out the ring and slowly slipped it onto her middle finger.
Just as I finished putting on the ring and was about to pull my hand away, Song Yafei suddenly grabbed my hand.
I don't know if she remembered our wedding day as well as I did, but she actually called me tenderly, "Husband," which was quite unusual for her.
I shuddered instantly.
Her hands, like clinging vines, roamed over my body.
He quickly pushed me down onto the bed and then pressed himself against me.
The indoor temperature gradually rose, and file folders and clothes were scattered on the floor, foreshadowing the madness tonight.
She left immediately after finishing. After washing up, she left again.
My heart was filled with loneliness, and I didn't care where she went.
After not seeing her for several days, I went to the hospital to see the hospital director early the next morning.
The childcare worker told me that the doctor Song Yafei had consulted with the headmistress yesterday.
The results will be available in the next couple of days, and then the surgery time will be arranged according to the condition of the hospital director's mother.
This is wonderful news, and both the caregiver and I are very happy. The headmistress also seems to be in much better spirits.
I wanted to know more about the hospital director's mother's health, so I stayed in the ward a little longer, waiting for the doctor to come and check on her.
It wasn't until I saw the doctor that I realized he was someone I knew.
He turned out to be He Yang, a mutual friend of mine and Song Yafei.
I suddenly felt like I'd been tricked.
If it were He Yang, I would go to him myself, and he would definitely come to help the hospital director with her medical treatment.
Song Yafei actually used him as a bargaining chip to negotiate with me?
Despite feeling resentful, one can only admit that one's skills are inferior to others.
He Yang was also surprised to see me. "Zhang Tian, long time no see."
He frowned again after a moment. "You don't look very good."
The doctor seemed to have the ability to tell at a glance that my health was not good.
I didn't intend to hide it from him, but I also didn't plan to reveal my illness to him.
She forced a smile. "I'm doing alright for now."
I asked about the director's mother.
He Yang told them the truth, "The dean's condition is quite serious, and he must have surgery. I'm here today to tell you this, and the surgery time is tentatively set."
The situation is serious, which is what I expected; otherwise, I wouldn't have needed to see a top doctor.
