276: Chapter 277: Shen Yue Is Not Convinced

Song Xiaodong was quickly taken by Shen Dongyang to play chess, while Sun Dongxiang was out buying groceries and hadn’t returned yet.

Shen Yue, on the other hand, was sitting in the living room with Miao Qingqing, and for a mont, it was sowhat awkward because Shen Yue couldn’t figure out what Miao Qingqing’s intentions were for being there.

Miao Qingqing, who was also a CEO, smiled slightly and said, “Shen Yue, I heard from Dongzi that your parents want you to be with Dongzi, huh?” She directly broke the awkwardness.

Shen Yue’s face turned red instantly, but she beca even more unsure of Miao Qingqing’s intentions, and said, “They do have that intention, and I also feel that Big Brother Song is quite good.”

Miao Qingqing’s face still wore a smile as she elegantly said, “Hmm, Dongzi indeed has qualities that are admirable, but sotis he can also drive people crazy.”

Shen Yue said, “Really?

I haven’t felt that Big Brother Song is annoying.”

Miao Qingqing let out a light laugh and said, “That’s because you haven’t spent much ti with him.

I have been driven mad by him several tis, sotis I even wish I could kick him directly into the river and drown him.”

“No way?” Shen Yue widened her eyes.

“Anyway, you will know once you spend more ti with him.”

Although Shen Yue was the daughter of the deputy mayor, she was impressed by Miao Qingqing’s deanor.

She hesitated for a mont, then gently bit her lip and asked, “Sister Miao, what is your relationship with Big Brother Song then?”

“My relationship with him…” Miao Qingqing t Shen Yue’s gaze, gently shook her head, and said, “Our relationship is quite complicated: sotis close, sotis distant, at tis I hate him to death, yet at other tis, I am still attracted to him.”

Shen Yue, puzzled, said, “This…

I’m a bit confused now.”

Miao Qingqing hadn’t expected Shen Yue to be so naive and said, “Well, I admit, I want to be with him, but he has not agreed yet.

You and I, we should be considered competitors, I guess.”

“I see…” Shen Yue felt a bit awkward and said, “Then your visit here isn’t to warn , is it?”

Miao Qingqing said, “Why would it be?

Dongzi has not just you interested in him; there are several other girls, each very beautiful.

Although you are the daughter of Deputy Mayor Shen, if you only want to rely on your status to be with him, that seems a bit unrealistic.”

“There are so many girls who like Big Brother Song,” Shen Yue furrowed her brows but then imdiately added, “That is to be expected, with Big Brother Song being so outstanding, of course he would attract many girls.

Even an outstanding woman like you, Sister Miao, is attracted to him, let alone others.”

“You do have an open mind,” Miao Qingqing laughed and said, “Originally, I ca here with a specific purpose, hoping to connect with Deputy Mayor Shen for the future benefit of our company, but seeing you, I felt that keeping you in the dark would seem too opportunist of , so I decided it’s better to speak these words to you.”

Shen Yue said earnestly, “It’s okay, business is business, personal is personal, right?

But to be honest, I used to think Big Brother Song was very good, and with my parents introducing him, I had no objections and just let things take their natural course.

But now, I really do want to compete, otherwise, I would feel like a total failure if I were out of the picture without even understanding why.”

Miao Qingqing hadn’t expected her words to ignite Shen Yue’s competitive spirit, and she felt a newfound appreciation for this girl.

She said, “Alright, then let us compete.”

Shen Yue clenched her fist and said, “I will do my best.”

In the study, only a few pieces had been placed on the chessboard.

Shen Dongyang, without being fully engaged, looked at Song Xiaodong and said, “Little Song, bringing a beautiful woman to my house, are you indicating that you have found soone special?”

Song Xiaodong placed a piece and said, “Deputy Mayor Shen, it’s not intentional on my part, but I do indeed have soone in mind now.”

“Oh?

From what you said, your special soone isn’t Miao Qingqing?”

“No, it’s not her.” Song Xiaodong was quite straightforward.

Shen Dongyang, with a smile, said, “Then I’m really curious.

Even a remarkable woman like Miao Qingqing didn’t catch your eye.

Who then has captured your interest?”

Song Xiaodong said, “Well…

it’s all about fate, just clicking with soone.

Identity isn’t that important.”

“It looks like I was too late then,” laughed Shen Dongyang as he also placed a piece.

“Ha…

saying that, I might get carried away.”

“Alright, no matter what, you haven’t deceived our Little Yue, and I appreciate that.

Affairs of the heart sotis do depend on fate.

Since there’s no fate between you two, I won’t force it.

However, as chess friends, I still hope you co by my house when you’re free.

Also, having a doctor like you co often would surely keep my family healthy.”

“Uncle Shen, I’ve never been soone’s healthcare doctor; you’re getting too much of a bargain here.”

If Miao Qingqing had heard this conversation, she might have thought Song Xiaodong was boasting too much, but Shen Dongyang didn’t think so.

After a deep glance, he laughed, “Then consider it a huge bargain on my part.”

He could tell that Song Xiaodong wasn’t joking but stating a fact.

Given Song Xiaodong’s dical skill and his extraordinary abilities, having him as a healthcare doctor was indeed invaluable, and only discussions of feelings were useful.

“Did you bring Miao Qingqing here specifically to ask for my help?” Shen Dongyang asked again.

Song Xiaodong didn’t deny it and replied, “I’ve invested so money in her venture, and she’s also a good friend of mine.

If it’s convenient for you, giving her so support would be nice.

Of course, I wouldn’t want to mix business with personal interests, as that would go against my principles of helping you.”

Shen Dongyang stared at Song Xiaodong, holding a chess piece without placing it, and said, “Little Song, you’re really becoming more and more of a mystery to .

You must be more than just a doctor, right?”

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, “Yes, I had other roles before, but now I’m not even a doctor, just an ordinary person as ordinary as one can be.”

Shen Dongyang gave Song Xiaodong a deep look, then placed his chess piece and said, “It seems you not only saved my life but also brought

a great opportunity.”

Song Xiaodong, eting Shen Dongyang’s gaze with a slight smile, said, “For a good official like Uncle Shen, rising through the ranks is only natural.”

Shen Dongyang’s heart clenched.

His earlier comnt was just a test, but Song Xiaodong’s response had confird it, stirring his emotions like a tidal wave.

The stage for his revenge, which he wanted to expand, might indeed grow larger because of Song Xiaodong.
