The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

Song Lingxue followed behind Shen Yanran and Wen Qian with a heavy heart.

Shen Yanran was so engrossed in picking out clothes for the two children that she didn't pay much attention to Song Lingxue's mood. Wen Qian was also constantly entertaining the two little ones, having a great time.

Until Shen Yanran saw a nice dress and wanted to ask Song Lingxue's opinion, "Xiaoxue, what do you think of this one? Isn't it cute?"

Song Lingxue was holding her phone and looking at something, clearly not hearing what Shen Yanran said.

Shen Yanran called her name twice more, "Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue?"

Song Lingxue finally heard this and quickly put her phone away. "What's wrong, Sister Yanran?"

"I wanted you to help me take a look at this dress. I'm getting a little overwhelmed by all the choices." As Shen Yanran spoke, she noticed her complexion was getting worse. "Are you... alright?"

Song Lingxue felt that today's blind date had already caused trouble for Shen Yanran, and didn't want to make her worry any more. She smiled slightly and said, "Sister Yanran, I'm fine. Didn't you just ask me how the dress was? I think it's very nice. The tiger on it is especially cute."

Shen Yanran gave Song Lingxue a deep look, and since she didn't want to say more, she didn't want to force her. "It's good that you're alright. But we have similar tastes, so let's go with these two."

Because Shen Yanran gave birth to twins, she would buy two of everything.

Wenqian noticed their conversation and joined in, saying, "Come on, let me see what you bought."

She held two almost identical baby outfits in her hands, looking them over again and again. "This one is nice, a little tiger, quite cute. Hmm? Why did you only buy four? Buy more! My goddaughter and godson are so adorable, how can two outfits be enough for them?"

Shen Yanran said helplessly, "You have no idea how many clothes my two little ones wear. They probably have more than me combined. I think I bought too many of these four pieces of clothing, and I was even thinking of returning two of them."

She finally understood how wealthy families raised their children. Even if she dressed them in different clothes every day, they could wear the same clothes for a year. This was only because she strongly stopped the old mansion from sending clothes and toys over every week, which brought things under control.

Wen Qian couldn't help but sigh, "Oh my, it's all because your two little darlings are so cute. Anyone who sees them can't help but want to buy them gifts. You have to say, genes are really important. Apart from their eyes being similar to yours, they look almost exactly like Li Zhanting."

Song Lingxue, standing to the side, was filled with envy.

It's not that she hopes to marry a rich or handsome man; she just hopes that he can love and cherish his wife like President Li does.

Unfortunately, the wish was beautiful, but the reality was cruel.

Just now, what she feared still happened.

That Ye Dong, not only did he fail to go on a blind date with her, but he also turned around and complained to her parents, exaggerating all sorts of things about her.

This caused Song Lingxue's parents to lose face. Regardless of whether Ye Dong's words were true or false, they kept apologizing and making amends, and only after giving him several bottles of good wine did they finally let it go.

What they did was not for Song Lingxue, but for their precious son at home.

Since breaking up with that internet celebrity, he's become much more irritable, spending his days either playing games at internet cafes or drinking heavily with some bad friends.

There wasn't a single day of peace.

The elderly couple couldn't take it anymore and were thinking of finding him a wife to keep him in check.

After much difficulty, they found a matchmaker to marry the principal's youngest daughter. She was well-educated, gentle, and only a little overweight and older.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have remained unmarried until now.

People have seen photos of Song Lingxue's younger brother. He is tall and handsome, but he doesn't have a proper job and his family's financial situation is very ordinary.

However, as women get older, they can't make as many demands.

However, I heard that the Song family has a daughter who works in Haicheng. She is said to be good-looking and has a good job, but she has never dated anyone.

They proposed an idea: to introduce their daughter to the principal's brother-in-law's son. If it worked out, the two families would become in-laws, and the bride price and dowry would be offset against each other.

No one can gain an advantage over the other.

Upon hearing this, Song Lingxue's parents were naturally more than happy. They were overjoyed to be related to the principal's family by marriage and not have to spend a penny on the wedding.

Moreover, Song Lingxue is of marriageable age and will get married sooner or later. It doesn't matter who she marries, and this marriage is even more so, as it strengthens family ties.

Moreover, the man is also quite well-off and earns a lot of money; this is a marriage that most people would beg for.

Song Lingxue's mother, Guo Rong, couldn't wait to marry her daughter off to him.

But things didn't go as planned. She finally managed to get Song Lingxue to go on a blind date, but the date was unsuccessful, and she was even scolded by the other party, almost ruining her son's marriage.

She was determined to settle accounts with Song Lingxue.

She called several times but didn't answer, and didn't reply to WeChat messages either. He was so angry that he had a heart attack and was begging for food.

Having no other choice, she could only threaten this ungrateful brat with the fact that her incapacitated old man was at home. "Song Lingxue, if you don't call me back, believe me, I'll just throw Grandpa out onto the street and let him die out there. Anyway, I've had enough of taking care of him. It'll be easier if he dies!"

Song Lingxue was accompanying Shen Yanran and Wen Qin to the next toy store when she was thinking about whether she should also buy a gift for the two children.

The phone buzzed several more times.

Even though she knew it was a WeChat message from home, she still looked down and glanced at it.

This sight terrified her even more.

Grandpa was the only person in the family who was good to her. If it weren't for Grandpa's constant care and help from childhood to adulthood, she might not have been able to go to university, let alone have the opportunity to come to Haicheng to find a job.

Seeing her mother risk her grandfather's life to force her into submission, her heart ached as if it were being cut by a knife.

Finally, out of desperation, I said goodbye to Shen Yanran, telling her I was going to the restroom, before daring to take out my phone and find a quiet place to call back.

Guo Rong knew that this brat Song Lingxue was still thinking about that old geezer. The WeChat message had only been sent for two minutes when the phone rang immediately. "Well done, Song Lingxue. You've really got guts. I've told you so much, and you haven't reacted at all. Do I have to bring up that old geezer before you'll respond?"

"What have you done to Grandpa? I need to talk to him." Song Lingxue hadn't dared to block her family's phone number because she was afraid it would be inconvenient to know about her grandfather's health.

Guo Rong said impatiently, "What nonsense are you talking about? You offended Ye Dong and almost ruined your brother's marriage. You still have the nerve to order me around? If you really care about that old geezer, listen to me. Apologize to Ye Dong properly, get along well with him, and it would be best if you got pregnant first, then go home at the end of the year to get your marriage certificate. Do you hear me?"

Guo Rong's intention was not only to force her to continue her relationship with that scumbag, but also to make her pregnant out of wedlock...

What kind of mother is she?!

She used to favor boys over girls and always side with her younger brother, which was tolerable.

Last year, he came to Haicheng to find her and caused a scene again, forcing her to hand over 300,000 yuan. In the end, he only stopped when he found out that Song Lingfeng had been scammed.

The following year, they forced her to go on blind dates again and wouldn't allow her to refuse.

She's not letting her live anymore!

Song Lingxue frowned deeply and said firmly, "Impossible. I would never date or even marry a pretentious and petty man like Ye Dong. Don't even think about it."

Guo Rong directly threatened, "Then how can you bear to let your grandfather sleep on the street?"

Song Lingxue was furious: "Are you crazy? He's Xiaofeng's grandfather. Aren't you afraid of being gossiped about behind your back for doing that?"

Guo Rong sneered, "Your words have reminded me. For my son's reputation, I really can't do that. But I can take the old man to the deep mountains and let him fend for himself. I can just say he's lost. Nobody can do anything about it."

Song Lingxue became anxious, "I won't let you do that! If you dare to take Grandpa away, I'll call the police and accuse you of elder abuse!"

Guo Rong said nonchalantly, "Go ahead and sue, sue all you want. You're in Haicheng, what right do you have to interfere here? Even if you manage to sue, your grandfather has already been sent away by me. By then, it will be too late for you to say anything!"

In their small county, elder abuse is common, and everyone turns a blind eye. Nobody interferes, and even if the police come, they just say it's a family matter and ask them to settle it privately. So she wasn't afraid at all.

Song Lingxue gritted her teeth and held back her tears, saying, "If you dare, I'll buy a ticket and go back today to take Grandpa away!"

"Don't even think about it. There's no way I'll give that old guy to you unless your brother gets married!" Guo Rong said relentlessly.

Song Lingxue finally understood that as long as her grandfather was in that house, she would be threatened by them for the rest of her life.

"Brother, brother, all you care about is your brother. In the end, aren't you just after money? I'll give it to you, just like we agreed on last time, 300,000 yuan. I'll give you the money, and you give me Grandpa!"

Once her grandfather comes to her side, she can completely sever ties with that family that has no affection whatsoever.

Guo Rong was overjoyed to hear that she could get money. "You should have said so earlier. But 300,000 is last year's price. I want 500,000 this year. Anyway, you know so many rich people. Even if you don't have any yourself, you can always borrow some."

To ensure her grandfather could enjoy his later years in peace, she was willing to pay 500,000 yuan. "Okay, I'll give it to him!"
