Chapter 263: Women Did Not Have It Easy

Song Chulang proposed the acquisition of the Yan Corporation and that was why Song Huaisheng was willing to let the matter rest. After all, Song Huaisheng had been eyeing Yan Corporation’s exclusive drug.

If he could acquire the Yan Corporation, it would, of course, be more cost-effective than investing in it. Furthermore, the Yan Corporation basically had no other choice.

He felt a chill in his heart. He didn’t think his family would plan this scheme.

“Chuyi, what’s wrong?” Yan Lei asked.

“Nothing.” He picked up his chopsticks again and lowered his head. “I didn’t know about it.”

“True, you seldom take charge of the company’s affairs, and the hospital is usually so busy. Perhaps selling the company is the best choice.” Yan Lei sighed with disappointment and raised his glass. “If Dad sells the company and has nothing to do, you will have to give birth to some grandchildren quickly for me to play with.”

Upon hearing this, Changxin said readily, “Dad, since you said so, I have to have a baby this year, but Changqing, on the other hand, you aren’t separated like your brother-in-law and I. Why haven’t you had a baby yet when the two of you are together every day?”

Changqing’s face turned slightly red and she stammered, “I ... I mean, you’re my elder sister. I can’t get ahead of you.”

“Haha, that doesn’t matter. You don’t have to wait for me on this issue.” Changxin made eyes.

The room echoed with the long-lost sound of laughter.

After dinner, the family played cards for a while.

The more Changqing played, the more she lost and she threw a tantrum at Song Chuyi who was beside her. “What kind of advisor are you? You didn’t even say a single thing and made me lose.”

“Lose?” Song Chuyi came back to his senses. He took some money out and placed it on the table. “It’s okay; you can lose slowly.”

“Wow, how generous,” Changxin said enviously, “Now you don’t have to pull a face when you lose.”

Changqing looked at her sister disapprovingly. “His money is my money. Losing his money is the same as losing mine.”

“Stingy.” Changxin teased.

Song Chuyi smiled. His lips were slightly pale. He turned his head around and took a little sip of tea.

Everyone played cards until it was past 11 at night. Changqing had lost a few hundred dollars and was grumbling at Song Chuyi back in the bedroom. “Look at you—you didn’t even help me the entire night.”

“Your sister is finally back. What’s the matter with losing some money to her? I’ll help you win it back next time.” Song Chuyi tried to coax her.

“Mm.” Changqing suddenly blinked as she studied him suddenly. “Chuchu, you were strange tonight. You don’t seem very happy.”

“Perhaps I’m a little tired.” Song Chuyi undid his buttons and went for a shower.

In order to save time, the two showered together. Changqing even thought he would do a little something and if he did, she wouldn’t reject it either. After all, she was in a good mood since her sister came back tonight.

However, he was actually very well-behaved and after helping her wipe her back, he carried her out.

“Chuchu, I don’t feel like doing my skincare routine. Can you help me do it?” After being carried out, Changqing started to feel lazy. Actually, she just blurted it out but she didn’t expect Song Chuyi to really sit up and go to the vanity table to help her find her skincare products.

“What should I do?” He looked at the bottles of products and felt his head hurt.

“Just those two yellow bottles and that little black bottle,” Changqing instructed him.

He brought them over and followed her instructions to moisturize first, apply some cream and finally apply the eye cream. After more than 10 minutes, he felt even more tired than he did after completing a two-hour operation.

“Chuchu, now you know it’s not easy being a woman, right?” Changqing put her arms around his neck and said softly, “In order to let you men see us with perfect skin, women have to spend almost 40 to 50 minutes on skincare. Say, aren’t you going to treat me a little better in the future?”

Song Chuyi pinched her nose and was at a loss for words. What did her skincare have to do with him treating her well? He didn’t even ask her to do her skincare.

However, he had already learned to not attempt to reason with women. “Mm, alright. Go to sleep quickly.”

Changqing lay obediently in his embrace, her little face lying on his chest as she said, “Chuchu, actually, it’s not bad for your family to acquire our family’s company. That way, my dad won’t have to work so hard and he can lead a better life with Auntie Shen.”

“... Mm.” After Song Chuyi switched the lights off, he stared at the ceiling for a very long time before closing his eyes. However, he couldn’t fall asleep.

The next morning, Changqing found that Song Chuyi had already left the bedroom when she woke up at around seven.

“He went to work already?” Auntie Zhang was stunned. “I didn’t know; I didn’t see anyone go out when I woke up at 6:30 am.”

Changqing was bewildered. When did he leave and why did he leave so early?

At the Song Household, after eating breakfast, Song Chulang took his briefcase and was prepared to go to the company.

“Big Brother...” Song Yunyang caught up with him with slow steps.

“Yunyang, what’s the matter?” Song Chulang looked at her frail appearance and his gaze softened.

Song Yunyang watched this face that was somewhat similar to Song Chuyi’s. However, Song Chuyi’s face was more elegant while Song Chulang’s face was sharp and would make one a little frightened. This oldest brother had matured earlier especially because of the disharmony between Song Huaisheng and his wife and that was why she had always been respectful and polite to him most of the time.

“Chuyi... called me in the morning.” Song Yunyang bit her pale lips. She looked up. “Big Brother, stop whatever you’re doing. Even if you ruin Chuyi and Yan Changqing’s marriage, it’s already impossible for Chuyi to be with me again.”

“Stop whatever I’m doing?” Song Chulang wasn’t angry. Instead, his gaze became even gentler. “Yunyang, you should tell Chuyi that at this time, if I stopped the acquisition of the Yan Corporation, they would have an even worse ending. If it wasn’t because Dad wanted to own the Yan Corporation, I wouldn’t want to acquire it.”

“I don’t know anything about business.” Song Yunyang shook her head. “However, to me, you don’t seem like the Big Brother that I know. Ever since you manipulated the Yan Corporation’s drugs in order to achieve your aims, I felt that you were too much. Also, there’s Dai Ai. How could you do that? No matter how much you detested that child, it’s still a life.”

“I did all that for you and Chuyi...” Song Chulang’s handsome face stiffened. “Look, even the things you say are so similar. Yunyang, I don’t believe that you’ve totally let him go. You’re too kind. You obviously still like him but you keep holding yourself back...”

“If I didn’t hold myself back, would you want me to become like you?” Song Yunyang couldn’t control her reddened eyes. “I’ve tried fighting for him, but I failed. I don’t want to lose the last of my pride because of a relationship. If you don’t stop now, you will really lose Chuyi as a brother and at the same time, you will lose me too.”

“What do you mean?” Song Chulang squinted.

“I’ve thought things through. I will leave China after recovering.” Song Yunyang turned her face away. “It’s because of my arrival that things developed the way they have. I hope that my departure will restore peace.”

“You dare?” Song Chulang grabbed her arm. “Yunyang, I won’t let you drift around overseas again.”

“I’d rather drift around than see this side of you.” Song Yunyang broke free from his grip. “Did you know that Chuyi told me he wasn’t the one who braved the storm to give me an umbrella? Big Brother, if you liked me and tried fighting for me even if it was just a little, maybe I wouldn’t have fallen so hopelessly in love with Chuyi. If I hadn’t fallen in love with him but you, perhaps I wouldn’t be in so much pain right now, but you’ve never even put in the tiniest bit of effort. You thought that since Chuyi liked me, we should be together, but how different are we from goods in your eyes?”

Song Chulang was stunned. After a while, a deep sense of pain was revealed in his eyes. “You were never goods to me. Chuyi is the little brother I care about the most and you’re the person I care about the most. I thought I wouldn’t mind if you two were happy then.”

“You not minding was actually the most selfish thing. Now, it feels like you’re very scary.” Song Yunyang turned around and walked into the house with moist eyes.

Song Chulang lowered his head dimly and stared at his hands.

Sometimes, he did think about what might have happened if he had pursued the person he liked without care, but what would’ve happened to Chuyi? What would’ve happened to the Chuyi who liked Song Yunyang so much?

He didn’t have any other choice but to let them be together back then.

At the hospital, Song Chuyi had just rescued an old man who had a heart attack. When he switched his phone on, he received a call and a message from Director Yu: Come to my office.

He notified the doctor who was on the same shift softly and went to Director Yu’s office.

“You came so quickly. Take a seat.” Director Yu was brewing tea at the coffee table. The fragrance of tea wafted throughout the entire office.

“What’s the matter?” Song Chuyi sat down and said, “Hospital Director, please make it quick. I cannot leave the Emergency Room for too long.”

“It’s great news,” Director Yu said with a chuckle. “The hospital managed to fight for a spot for further studies in Zurich this year. As you know, Switzerland’s medical technology is among the best in the world. They have the most comprehensive medical system in the West. Moreover, their humanized and carefully planned hospital systems are worthy of study and research. I thought about it and you’re the most suitable candidate from the hospital. Besides, you told me many times that you’ve always wanted to learn about Swiss medicine.”

Song Chuyi was slightly stunned. “When would I be flying over?”

“The middle of this month,” Director Yu said with a grin. “It’s half a year of studies. Even if you went over to travel, just staying there would be a kind of enjoyment, let alone studying there. Chuyi, I will send the relevant documents over tomorrow. I have to send an email over to declare this.”

Song Chuyi sat still and didn’t move. There was no smile on his face at all.

Usually, he would definitely be elated. After all, for every medical practitioner, this was the best opportunity. However... the Yan Family was in this state. If he were to leave, he wouldn’t be able to get over it responsibility-wise and conscience-wise.

“Director Yu, was this arranged by my brother or my father?” he asked lightly.

Director Yu poured him a small cup of tea slowly. “Chuyi, does it matter who arranged it? What’s important is the opportunity. This kind of opportunity is really rare. Think about it—who could get this kind of opportunity at such a young age? You have the talent in this respect and you should try your best to realize your dreams while you’re young. When you come back, you can also help improve our hospital’s technical skills.”
