"I won't talk to you anymore." Song Luokui finally said these words, pretending to be a little angry as she ran back home.
Song Luosheng let go of Chi Yu and ran back as well.
However, the scene of Song Luosheng hitting Chi Yu had already been witnessed by someone passing through the courtyard. After one night, everyone in the courtyard knew that the son of the Song family and the son of the Chi family had gotten into a fight again.
Originally, they had fought many times when they were little, so everyone was used to it. But after growing up, there had been no news of the two fighting again, so this fight made everyone quite curious. They were both in their twenties, and adults in the outside world, so how could they still get into a fight?
But let's not talk about the reaction of the people in the courtyard first. After returning home, Song Luokui rushed upstairs into her room and closed the door. She had only pretended to be angry earlier, but now she felt uneasy in her heart. Originally, she was going to tell her brother about it tomorrow night, but now it had been exposed prematurely, and her brother had even seen Chi Yu...
It was truly a case of rain leaking through the roof at the worst possible time. Song Luokui lay on the bed, her head buried in the pillow, wondering what to do, as her parents were not at home.
After a while, there was a knock on the door. Song Luokui's heart skipped a beat as Song Luosheng's voice came from outside, "Kuikui, open the door!"
Song Luokui hesitated for a moment but still went to open the door. As soon as she opened it, she saw Song Luosheng looking at her with a troubled expression.
Song Luokui didn't dare to look at him, feeling guilty as well. "Brother, I'm sorry." Song Luokui apologized in a low voice with her head down.
Song Luosheng walked in, closed the door, and didn't say a word. He walked over and sat down on a chair nearby, while Song Luokui didn't dare to sit and just stood by the side.
After an unknown period of time, Song Luosheng finally spoke, "Tell me, when did you two start?"
Song Luosheng looked at Song Luokui and pulled the stool directly next to him. "Come here and tell me."
Song Luokui glanced at him and immediately walked over and sat down, but her head was still lowered. "It was... before he helped me, right? I thought since I owed him a favor, I should treat him to a meal... and then..."
Song Luosheng interrupted her immediately, "Wait a minute! What do you mean he helped you? What did he help you with? Didn't I help you pay back the favor already?"
Song Luokui: "There were other things..."
Song Luosheng took a deep breath. "What other things? Tell me. I can help you pay it back."
Song Luokui raised her head. "Brother, I can pay back the favor I owe. You don't need to help me pay it back. I don't want you to make concessions in the business world either."
Song Luosheng suddenly raised his voice, "I'm willing to! Kuikui! I'm willing to make concessions for him in the business world, rather than you getting involved with him directly! Do you know who he is? He..." Song Luosheng suddenly choked and didn't continue.
Song Luokui raised her head and realized that her brother's eyes were red. She immediately felt guilty and hugged his arm. "Brother! I'm sorry! Don't be like this! He... he's been quite good to me. He even told me some internal information before, like I told you about the An Cheng project and other things..."
Song Luosheng clenched his fists. "Kuikui, break up with him."
Song Luokui's eyes widened, and she immediately turned around and said firmly, "Brother, I won't! I know what kind of person he is when I'm in a relationship with him, and he hasn't hurt me. Mom and Dad haven't objected either."
Song Luosheng's voice was trembling. "So... Mom and Dad know about it, and I'm the only one being kept in the dark?"
Song Luokui felt guilty again and turned around to hold his hand. "Brother, I was going to tell you tomorrow night."
Song Luosheng dug his fingernails into his flesh. "Tell me, when did you two start dating?"
Song Luokui: "We officially started dating not long ago."
Song Luosheng: "Specific time!"
Song Luokui: "Before the summer vacation."
Song Luosheng: "Good, very good!" Song Luosheng looked up at her. "Kuikui, then how long have you two known each other?"
Song Luokui: "Didn't we know each other since we were little?"
Song Luosheng: "You mean to say that you knew what kind of person he was since you were little? That doesn't count as knowing! I want to know when you two started going out for meals and going out together while hiding it from me."
Song Luosheng suddenly remembered something. "Oh, that incident in Country A, when you were running away, he carried you and ran, didn't he? Was that when you two had already..."
Song Luokui immediately denied it: "No! At that time, we..." She wanted to say that they weren't that familiar at the time, but then she remembered that Chi Yu had taken her out to play, so Song Luokui suddenly looked at Song Luosheng and saw that his expression was now quite unpleasant.
Song Luokui immediately said, "I can't really remember clearly anymore."
Song Luosheng: "Kuikui, let me tell you, if you really think he's a good person, then he's just pretending to deceive you. Chi Yu is not a good person, otherwise the Shan Yu Group wouldn't have expanded so rapidly in such a short time."
"Have you seen his private side? He's a cold, ruthless, and cruel person. How could the heir of the Chi family be a good person? You've been deceived by him!"
Song Luokui shook her head. "No, what about you then? Didn't Songhua Technology also become a big company in such a short time? But in my eyes, you're a very good brother, and he's about the same to me."
Song Luosheng looked hurt. "You're comparing me to him? How could I, your brother, not treat you better than an outsider?"
Song Luosheng took a deep breath. "Kuikui, I won't agree to your relationship with him. Even if Mom and Dad agree, I won't agree. Whatever favor you owe him, I'll compensate him directly."
Song Luokui: "Brother, this is my own matter. And if I'm with him, he'll call you Brother-in-law in the future. Didn't you want to defeat him before? If he calls you Brother-in-law, isn't that a kind of defeating him in a way?"
Song Luosheng's heart skipped a beat: "... I'd rather be defeated by him than have him call me Brother-in-law, that's too horrible!"
Song Luokui: "Can't I be an insider then?"
Song Luosheng wanted to shake her head to make her sober up. "Kuikui, how could he let you be an insider? Do you know what happens to insiders in their company in the end?"
Song Luokui: "I don't know. I only know that he's been okay to me, and I've grown up, I have to start dating sooner or later. Even if it's not him, it could be someone else. You said before that I deserve the best and most outstanding person, but in this whole circle, who do you think is more outstanding than Chi Yu?"
"But what if he doesn't want you later? What if he hurts you?" Song Luosheng's biggest concern was this.
Song Luokui suddenly smiled, "Brother, you always think I'm weak, that I should be protected by everyone, that I should just stay cooped up in an ivory tower. But brother... I'm not a weak person, nor am I someone who would live or die for love. Apart from studying, I also have work. Even if Chi Yu and I really do split up in the future, that would just be a growth experience I need to go through myself. Without him, my life wouldn't change much. Perhaps I'd be sad for a while, but just sad for a while."
