The green camphor tree has a deep view

Chapter 37: You can always avoid it if you can't afford to offend it

Gu Huaiyuan smiled and was thinking about how to answer when he heard someone calling him from a distance: "Young Master Gu, are you here too?"

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw Butler Yu walking towards them quickly, breathing heavily.

"Ms. Wen, is Miss Zhou awake?" Butler Yu asked Wen Qing.

"Awake." Wen Qing's eyes dimmed slightly, and she asked, "Did Uncle Yu come to inform us of the meeting?"

Housekeeper Yu was slightly stunned, then immediately smiled with wrinkles all over his face: "Miss Wen is really smart, Mr. Song also asked me to tell you that you will go tomorrow as well."

Wen Qing didn't bother to ask which Mr. Song it was and nodded to indicate that she heard it.

Housekeeper Yu ignored Wen Qing's cold attitude and hurriedly turned to the ward. After a while, Zhou Wen's unexpected question came from the ward: "Jing Long is going too?"

"Yes, Miss Zhou, Jing Long must go to the Song family meeting. Even if he doesn't understand, he can still be a witness."

After hearing this, Zhou Wen nodded with tears in her eyes. She could barely protect herself now, let alone take care of her son. After years of hard work, she ended up in this situation. She felt numb and wanted to wake up from the long-term numbness.

When Wen Qing heard that Jing Long was also going, she looked a little unhappy. She wanted to ask whose idea it was, but was stopped by Gu Huaiyuan just as she was about to open her mouth.

Wen Qing looked up in surprise, and saw Gu Huaiyuan shaking his head slightly at her. Then he exchanged a few words with Butler Yu, and took Wen Qing to see the butler off to the elevator door.

It was not until he saw the elevator door of the butler close that Gu Huaiyuan breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Wen Qing and said, "Butler Yu is here to pass on Song Jingshen's message today. Butler Yu will pass on everything we do here to him."

"So what? My aunt has nothing to lose."

“Do you think that if your aunt doesn’t want money, Song Jingshen will let her go?”

"What else do you want?" Wen Qing sneered angrily, "Does he want to take my aunt's life?"

Gu Huaiyuan looked at her thoughtfully and said quietly, "I always feel that things are not that simple. It seems that he is not only targeting Zhou Wen, but also paying attention to you. He deliberately asked you to attend the meeting, as if he wanted to see your reaction."

After hearing this, Wen Qing suddenly realized something, and her pupils suddenly contracted: "Will he use my aunt to threaten me?"

"It's hard to say..." Gu Huaiyuan said, "Do you remember the day after the old lady's birthday party, you came to talk to me about the study room?"

"I remember. I wanted to cancel the study room in the Electronics Building at that time." Wen Qing said.

"Yes, that day, right after you finished talking to me, Song Jingshen came to talk to me about the base station project, and he mentioned you in passing."

"Mentioned me?" Wen Qing was surprised and annoyed. Why was he always there?

"He asked about the rent of your study room and said that if you insist on giving up the study room, he would recommend you to be a tutor at Guangyu."

"Guangyu?" Wen Qing was confused.

Gu Huaiyuan nodded: "You don't know that Song Jingshen has acquired many industries of the Song family in recent years, and also took the opportunity to go deep into the traditional industries that the Song family is good at, such as real estate."

"Could it be that Guangyu was built by him?"

"Although he is not the one, he is also closely related to you. The developer of Guangyu is backed by the Fang family, and Fang Ziming, the young master of the Fang family, has a close relationship with Song Jingshen. Many shops around Guangyu are owned by Song Jingshen, and one of them is a very large training institution. He asked you to be a tutor at Guangyu, so you should be working there part-time."

"I heard from Yin Xiaoxiao that the Fang family made their fortune in finance." Wen Qing ignored any training institutions and focused all her attention on the Fang family.

"Private equity." Gu Huaiyuan corrected, "Song Jingshen's research start-up funds cannot be separated from the support of the Fang family. Of course, he will also use the huge profits to repay the Fang family. These are all normal business behaviors. However... I am worried that Song Jingshen will sell out the interests of the Gu family."

"He has no shares in the Gu family, nor does he have management rights. Even if he wants to do this, how can he do it?"

"He is engaged to Gu Jia." Gu Huaiyuan said, "But from what I know about him, he doesn't like Gu Jia, and he doesn't like being controlled by the Gu family. Logically, it's unlikely that he would marry her. But he has suddenly acted out of character recently, and I think there must be a reason."

Wen Qing suddenly remembered the way Gu Jia hung in Song Jingshen's arms, nodded and said, "Gu Jia is deeply in love with him. Many people have seen her come to see him in the Electronic Building."

Gu Huaiyuan smiled faintly and shook his head: "In fact, for so many years, Song Jingshen has always been indifferent to Gu Jia. No matter how Gu Jia's parents hinted, he never mentioned the engagement. But since the death of Old Lady Song, he suddenly became warm to Gu Jia."

Wen Qing snorted and laughed: "He can use the resources of the Gu family, right? The Gu family and the Song family are intertwined. Without the support of the Gu family, how can he compete with his father?"

Gu Huaiyuan couldn't help but pat Wen Qing's head with a smile: "Of course, you've only been here for a few days, and you're almost a consultant to the Song family."

"I have nothing to do with them!" Wen Qing said angrily, but then she thought of the kiss she passively endured that night when she lived in Song Jingshen's apartment. Her face turned red and she secretly blamed herself for having wild thoughts.

"No matter what, there's no need to carry unnecessary burdens on yourself." Gu Huaiyuan suppressed his smile and said seriously.

"What do you mean?" Wen Qing asked in confusion. Is the "burden" he was talking about referring to his aunt?

"Song Jingshen is no longer the same person he used to be. Song Weiming can no longer control him. If he wants to do something to your aunt or even Jing Long..." Gu Huaiyuan sighed lightly and said no more.

"Is there no one who can control him? He always has a weak spot..." Wen Qing was dissatisfied, "By the way, the Fang family, doesn't he need the Fang family's money? If the Fang family doesn't support him..."

Gu Huaiyuan laughed: "Depth of Field Technology is now well established, and the Fang family is waiting for his high dividends, fearing that he will not use the Fang family's money."

"What about the Gu family? If he offends the Gu family..." Wen Qing was desperate and tried every possible means.

"If he were this stupid, he wouldn't be Song Jingshen. It was precisely to stabilize the Gu family that he became close to Gu Jia. When Gu Jia graduates and fulfills the engagement, the Gu family will naturally become his possession." Gu Huaiyuan said calmly.

Wen Qing thought about it after hearing this. With her imagination, there was really no way to stop Song Jingshen from doing evil. She couldn't help but exhale a breath of foul air: "Then stay away from him. If you can't afford to provoke him, you can always avoid him!"

"Then it will probably be very hard for you, especially you. Do you think it's worth it?"

Wen Qing smiled and said, "I have never been free from hardships since I was a child. My parents passed away a long time ago, and I have been dependent on my grandma for so many years. I have gotten used to it. Besides, my aunt will get better, and Jing Long will grow up. My grandma often said, 'There is no Fire Mountain that cannot be crossed.' I think as long as relatives help each other, no matter how hard it is, it is more comfortable than being a slave in someone else's home."

Gu Huaiyuan looked down at Wen Qing and found that her beautiful face showed a rare carefree look, which made her even more charming than usual. He was moved and smiled without saying anything else.

------

The next day was a weekend, and housekeeper Yu came to the ward early and solemnly took Zhou Wen, Wen Qing and Jing Long to the meeting. Wen Qing helped Zhou Wen and her son to get ready, and she also changed into a decent dark dress, and the three of them followed housekeeper Yu on the road.

The car soon arrived at the Song family mansion. Zhou Wen's face changed slightly when she saw the outline of the mansion from afar, and she unconsciously held Wen Qing's hand. Wen Qing held her hand in return, as if to encourage her.

"We're home!" Jing Long rushed into the Song family's gate as soon as he got out of the car. Wen Qing reminded him to run slower, and when he looked up, he saw Song Jingshen standing under the porch.

He was dressed in formal attire, looking solemn, and looking over Jing Long's head at Wen Qing from afar. She was very different today, not only was she dressed solemnly, but her expression was also more distant than ever before.

Song Jingshen's heart sank, remembering that when he was a child he heard a servant say that swans liked pearls, so he stole a white pearl from his mother's jewelry box and went to the lake to lure the swan, but the swan suddenly screamed when it saw the pearl. He was so scared that his hand shook and the pearl fell into the lake.

At this moment, he seemed to hear the sound of the beads falling into the lake again, and the feeling of loss and panic came over him again - but this time he had grown up, and he not only wanted the swan, but also the beads, and even the lake water was under his control - he wanted to control everything he wanted, especially those that were disobedient.

In front of the mansion, Wen Qing helped her aunt climb the stairs. She didn't pay attention to Song Jingshen standing beside her, and it was impossible for her to know what was going on in his heart.

Today was her last time to come to the mansion. She thought that if possible, she would pack up her aunt's clothes and take them away when she left, and from then on, she would have no further contact with this place.
