Chapter Fifteen: A Mother and Daughter Meet, Their Eyes Red with Tears

  "Xiao Ai, I have something to tell you. Come with me." Song Linrang pulled her hand and walked towards the staircase, going down along the stairs, standing at the corner with windows, Song Linrang let go of her hand.

  "Xiao Ai, did you know? I'm getting engaged to your boss tonight." Her small face turned red.

  Shu Xiao Ai smiled and said, "That's great, Lin Lang."

  Hearing the news, Shu Xiao Ai couldn't express her feelings. The world is so big, yet she, a married woman, and he, an unmarried man, had something happen that shouldn't have happened between them. The world is also so small, they, good friends, formed such a situation.

  "Well, fortunately I broke up with that boyfriend I was talking to before, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten engaged so quickly. That scumbag got me pregnant and then broke up with me, I had an abortion just a few days ago."

  Xiao Ai nodded, "I'll congratulate you first here, Linlang. My superior is waiting for me, I'll head back now."

  Song Lin pulled her over, "Then you must attend my engagement party tonight, and you have to go early. Whoever doesn't go, you can't not go. We were university classmates for four years, you're my good sister, I need you to participate in all of my major life events - engagement, wedding, childbirth."

  "Linglang, I might have to work overtime tonight, it's been two days already."

  Song Lin Cang smiled, "Don't worry, Xiao Ai, my engagement ceremony won't end until 10 pm tonight. You can go after you finish work, it's not too late. I'll wait for you, you must witness the most beautiful moment of sisterhood."

  Shu Xiao Ai nodded, "Alright, I'll go."

  "Alright, hurry up and go, it won't be good if you get caught by your supervisor."

  Shu Xiao Ai nodded and turned away.

  All the way back to the office, Shu Xiao Ai was a little absent-minded, her heart was stuffy, just last night, they had just...

  He's getting engaged today...

  But they were already married, and from the start, they shouldn't have had any interactions. Now it's even more necessary to cut them off completely. Perhaps, they've already severed ties since last night.

  In the evening, from the Zhong's office building, Shu Xiao Ai carried a slanting bag and took the bus home.

  Arriving home, Shu Xiao Ai went upstairs to change into a dressy outfit, her face rarely made up, her hair loose and flowing. After checking herself in the mirror and finding nothing out of place, she headed downstairs.

  She went out and continued to take the bus to the Zhong's residence.

  A long queue of luxury cars stopped at the entrance, and after verifying their identities, they walked into a luxurious villa for the first time.

  Watching men and women dressed in luxurious finery or handsome attire, she felt a bit awkward, wearing the evening gown that her mother used to wear.

  After calling Song Lin Cang, she appeared in front of Shu Xiao Ai in a short while, wearing a white off-the-shoulder wedding dress, with a silver crown on her bouffant hair and a pair of large earrings set with diamonds, particularly eye-catching.

  "Xiao Ai, you're here?" She had a delicate makeup with a radiant smile, and pulled Xiao Ai's hand, "Let's go over there."

  Shu Xiao Ai was pulled inside by her, many celebrities, this kind of occasion, Shu Xiao Ai still participated for the first time, very unaccustomed.

  "Mom, this is my good sister from college, Xiao Ai." She stopped and introduced happily.

  Time seems to have stood still.

  Shu Xiao Ai stared at Song Mu in front of her, her eyes full of incredulity. She looked at Song Lin Cang again, and the words from just now seemed like a sharp knife stabbing into her heart.

  Song Mu's originally smiling face also froze.

  She handed the champagne in her hand to Song Linzhuang with a cold face, "I have something to say to this lady."

  After finishing speaking, he pulled Shu Xiao Ai through the crowd and left the Zhong residence.
