Chapter 123: We need to talk (5)

December 7, 20XX (Monday)

Various Places

It was the next day in Country Z,

In the Song's Mansion,

Song Lie and Song Yao was sitting in the study room with Qi Ling Hu, they did not know why did he came to the Song mansion and find them. But they knew it was something bad, the Song's did not have a good relation with the Qi's.

The only person in the Song family that are close to the Qi's are Wan Yu and Song Yu, both the mother and daughter are the only ones that are close to the Qi's. Song Yao and Song Lie had an extremely bad relation with Qi Ling Hu, or simply said to have a business relation.

After Butler huang served the tea and left the room, Song Yao asked in a courteuos tone "Old master Qi, do you have something..."

"As per the deal, this years annual meeting will be up in a few weeks. Xiao Yue will not attend the annual meeting...." Qi Ling Hu interrupted Song Yao from talking.

"How are you going to make Xiao Yue to not come to the annual meeting?" Song Lie asked in a confuse tone, he had been thinking of ways to prevent Song Yu from going for the annual meeting. But no matter how he thought of an idea to prevent her from coming, he eventually stops as he felt that it was not a good reason to stop Song Yu from going.

But Qi Ling Hu said it in a leisure tone, as though he had everything under control. "That you do not need to know, what you need to know is to fulfil what you promised." Qi Ling Hu said in a stern tone before standing up preparing to leave the room.

"Qi Qi's wedding is coming up, would you be coming?" Song Lie stood up in a hurry to stop him from going, he had hoped for him to attend Wan Qi's wedding as it would greatly benefit her. He wanted Wan Qi to have a strong backing.

Qi Ling Hu stopped in his tracks, he gave a ridiculing laughed and said in a disgusted tone "She is not my granddaughter.."

"Qi Qi she is my Xiao Yue's sister..."

"Stop!" Song Yao yelled at Song Lie to prevent his stupid son from speaking further nonsense.

"Father!" Song Lie shouted in grievience.

"I see the old one is much more clever than the young one..." Qi Ling Hu joked before leaving the room.

In Z.D.Y Corp,

"This is the finished draft, I had my team to do a research and this is the story behind the new fashion brand we are going to established and the few different products we had agreed to designed on previously." Lu Nan Cheng passed the documents to Song Yu who was sitted beside him.

Song Yu had on a blank expression when Lu Nan Cheng passed the documents to her. She did not looked at the document, she just sat there emotionless. Seeing Song Yu did not say anything, Lu Nan Cheng was about to call her when he saw the hagard looked she was.

She was wearing a navy blue two piece suit, she had her suit jacket taken out. Her white blouse were folded to her elbows, her blouse looks wrinkled and her hair was also messy. It looks like she had not had a rest, he could see that her usual confident and a air of haughtiness was gone.

He did not know why but he felt his heart ache seeing her work so hard, "Ms Song" He waited for a minute or two for her to speak or move but after waiting for a few minutes there was still no movement, he called out to her in an attempt to wake her out of her stupor but it was a futile act.

"Song Yu?" He gently tapped on her shoulder to wake her up, and it did work. Song Yu who was in a daze suddenly said "The document...."

"Shall we have out meeting scheduled to another timing?" Lu Nan Cheng asked, as he knew if they were to continue the discussion. Nothing would get into Song Yu's head, as anyone could see that she was not in the right state.

Song Yu shooked her head, "That is not needed, let us continue..." she took the document and hurriedly looked through it.

Seeing her like that, Lu Nan Cheng gave a helpless smile. "It's about time for lunch, shall we go and grabbed a lunch?"

Song Yu stopped looking at the document and looked at her watch, seeing that it was already lunch time. She closed the file and placed it on the table, "I guess the discussion ends here?" she said in a helpless tone.

"Did something happened?...because you does not seem to be in the right state today" Lu Nan Cheng asked in a concerned tone.

"Nothing" Song Yu replied in a short word, seemingly does not want to continue the talk.

Knowing what she meant, Lu Nan Cheng shrugged his shoulders and said "Its fine if you do not want to talk about it, why not lets go and grabbed some lunch?"

Song Yu stood up from her sit and walked towards her desks, she pressed the line and said "Ai, come in and escort Mr Lu out..."

"You are still as cold as usual..." Lu Nan Cheng knew she would not agree to have a meal with him no matter what, hence he stopped asking and left with Tang Ai.

Seeing that no one was left in the office, Song Yu sat down on her chair. She leaned back on her sit and messaged her temples, she did not have a blinked of rest upon reaching Country Z. She did not want to think about what happened with her and Gu Chen, hence she bured herself with work.

But it seems that nothing was going according to what she wants, she could not seem to focus. She was having a headache, she took out her glasses and closed her eyes. Hoping to take a short rest, so that she could concentrate better.

But before she could rest, her phone rang. In frustration, she took her phone and glared at her phone. When she saw who is was she furrowed her brows and hung up the call, she had been declining the call.

Qi Ling Hu had been calling her after she reached Country Z, and she had been declining the call as she knew it was nothing good. Ring....Ring...Ring...her phone rang again as Song Yu stared at the caller ID.

She knew she could not run away from it, she gritted her teeth and answered the call. "Why have you not answer my call?" Qi Ling Hu scolded in a slightly high pitched.

"I was busy" She deadpanned.

"Didn't you say that you will be out for a week or so?...why are you back in advance?" He asked in dissatisfaction.

Song Yu scoffed upon hearing what he said, "Are you not happy that I am back?"

"Of course I am happy.....Xiao Yue, come back home for dinner. I will wait for you at your house" Qi Ling Hu asked in a gentle tone.

"Grandfather, I...." before she could finish her sentence, she heard the sound of call hanging up. Angered, Song Yu grabbed her car keys and strode out of her office.
