Chapter 1205: Chapter 1206: He Lingzhi Has Arrived
Tuesday, Song Xiaodong was signing a few documents when his phone rang.
He glanced at the number. It was completely unfamiliar, but obviously a Beijing phone number.
After answering, Song Xiaodong politely said, "Hello, this is Song Xiaodong, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, a womanâs voice came from the other end: "Iâm landing in two hours; come pick me up."
"Pfft..." Song Xiaodong immediately recognized the voiceâit was He Lingzhi. He had thought about He Lingzhi possibly looking for him, but didnât expect it to be so soon. He said, "Lingzhi, our engagement isnât even set yet, and youâre already running to my place. Isnât that a bit much?"
He Lingzhi snorted, "Why all the nonsense? Hurry and pick me up. If I canât find you, donât blame me for tearing your house apart."
Song Xiaodong laughed helplessly, "Alright, Iâll pick you up at the airport."
"Thatâs more like it." He Lingzhi finally hung up.
"Whatâs up? Going out?" Su Yuya asked.
"Yeah, that girl from the He family is coming over."
"A girl from the He family... Beijingâs He family? Your fiancĂ©e?" Su Yuyaâs voice suddenly raised eight tones.
Song Xiaodong said, "Aunt, is your reaction really necessary?"
Su Yuyaâs face turned dark, "Sheâs different from other women. Sheâs from the Beijing He family and is your fiancĂ©e. Since sheâs coming, we must give her the highest courtesy. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to the He family."
Song Xiaodongâs face darkened, "No need to indulge her."
"Family Head, you canât be reckless. If the He family thinks you treat her poorly and disrespect them, this engagement could be canceled, and our Su Familyâs plan to enter Beijing would be thwarted."
Song Xiaodong laughed, "Aunt, youâre overthinking it. No matter whose family sheâs from, once sheâs in our home, sheâs a member of the Su Family. Here, no one gets special treatment. Besides, sheâs definitely sneaked over. The He family probably doesnât even know about it. Otherwise, they wouldâve coordinated with me first."
"That makes sense... for her to sneak over like this, Family Head... youâve got guts."
Song Xiaodong smiled, "Sheâs up to something. Alright, Iâm heading out now; itâll take some time to get to the airport."
Su Yuya watched Song Xiaodong leave and shook her head. The He family! That Song Xiaodong dares to take it so lightlyâwho knows if itâs right or wrong? But since Song Xiaodong has decided, she could only comply.
Two hours later, Song Xiaodong picked up He Lingzhi, who just carried a backpack and wore a casual outfit, appearing very fresh, not at all like a spoiled girl from a prominent family.
Song Xiaodong approached and said, "You really know how to trouble people. Donât you know I have a lot to do, and yet I have to pick you up?"
"You couldâve just said so; I couldâve taken a taxi." He Lingzhi rolled her eyes at Song Xiaodong, "Besides, Iâm your fiancĂ©e, right? Whatâs wrong with having you pick me up?"
Song Xiaodong jokingly looked at He Lingzhi, "Whatâs gotten into you? Have you taken the wrong medicine? Suddenly admitting to being my fiancĂ©e?"
He Lingzhi lifted her chin, "Youâre the one whoâs taken the wrong medicine. Isnât there a saying? When you canât resist being strong-armed, you might as well enjoy it. Iâve accepted my fate, okay?"
Song Xiaodong didnât buy it, "Thatâs not right. With your personality, you wouldnât easily accept fate. Youâre definitely up to something, arenât you?"
He Lingzhi just chuckled, "Why so much nonsense? Come on, letâs go to your place."
The two got into the car. He Lingzhi didnât say much, just looked out the window, while Song Xiaodongâs phone continued to ring with numerous matters requiring his attention, leaving no time to converse with He Lingzhi.
Arriving at the Su Family Courtyard, He Lingzhi got out with Song Xiaodong and was surprised, "Whoa, your place is this big?"
"Itâs alright." Song Xiaodong casually replied.
"What do you mean âalrightâ? Compared to your home, our He family courtyard is nothing. Iâm finally realizing how lavish these local families are."
"Itâs because the land here is cheap, so we can build such a large estate. In Beijing, building an estate this size would cost dozens of times more."
"True, but this place is quite nice, like a Suzhou Garden. I like it."
"Are you planning to stay here?" Song Xiaodong asked with a smile.
He Lingzhi lifted her chin, "If you marry me, wouldnât I be the lady of the house? Is it wrong to live here?"
Song Xiaodong laughed, "There are many ladies in the house, not just you."
He Lingzhi sneered, "Playboy, humph, a bunch of foolish women."
They reached the vicinity of the main villa. Looking at the luxurious building, He Lingzhi sneered again, "Quite the enjoyment, huh?"
Song Xiaodong looked at He Lingzhi and said, "Everyoneâs home; Iâll take you to meet them."
"Hah! Arenât you afraid I might bully them?"
"If youâre not afraid of getting spanked, then go ahead and try."
"You jerk." He Lingzhi glared at Song Xiaodong before following him into the living room.
It was almost dinner time, so the women had returned home. Recognizing He Lingzhi, Song Xiaoru, Miao Xuanxuan, and Miao Qingqing came up to greet her.
Although He Lingzhi knew Song Xiaodong had many women, seeing a group of beauties sitting in the living room still made her feel dizzy.
Song Xiaodong introduced everyone, and He Lingzhi greeted them, but her expression was noticeably uneasy.
Sun Yiyi was also there today. She approached smilingly and said to He Lingzhi, "I heard our familyâs man found another woman who knows Kung Fu. I need to see how good your skills are."
He Lingzhi paused, looking at Sun Yiyi, "You know Kung Fu too?"
"Of course! Shall we have a spar?" Sun Yiyi smiled at He Lingzhi, but there was a hint of challenge in her eyes.
He Lingzhi glanced at Sun Yiyi, then turned to Song Xiaodong, "Is this some kind of intimidation?"
Sun Yiyi blinked, "What? Are you scared?"
He Lingzhi sneered, "Scared? Me, scared? Song Xiaodong, your woman is the one instigating this; you canât blame me!"
