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 woman’s voice came from the other end: “I’m landing in two hours; come pick me up.”
“Pfft…” Song Xiaodong immediately recognized the voice—it was He Lingzhi. He had thought about He Lingzhi possibly looking for him, but didn’t expect it to be so soon. He said, “Lingzhi, our engagement isn’t even set yet, and you’re already running to my place. Isn’t that a bit much?”
He Lingzhi snorted, “Why all the nonsense? Hurry and pick me up. If I can’t find you, don’t blame me for tearing your house apart.”
Song Xiaodong laughed helplessly, “Alright, I’ll pick you up at the airport.”
“That’s more like it.” He Lingzhi finally hung up.
“What’s up? Going out?” Su Yuya asked.
“Yeah, that girl from the He family is coming over.”
“A girl from the He family… Beijing’s He family? Your fiancée?” Su Yuya’s voice suddenly raised eight tones.
Song Xiaodong said, “Aunt, is your reaction really necessary?”
Su Yuya’s face turned dark, “She’s different from other women. She’s from the Beijing He family and is your fiancée. Since she’s coming, we must give her the highest courtesy. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to the He family.”
Song Xiaodong’s face darkened, “No need to indulge her.”
“Family Head, you can’t be reckless. If the He family thinks you treat her poorly and disrespect them, this engagement could be canceled, and our Su Family’s plan to enter Beijing would be thwarted.”
Song Xiaodong laughed, “Aunt, you’re overthinking it. No matter whose family she’s from, once she’s in our home, she’s a member of the Su Family. Here, no one gets special treatment. Besides, she’s definitely sneaked over. The He family probably doesn’t even know about it. Otherwise, they would’ve coordinated with me first.”
“That makes sense… for her to sneak over like this, Family Head… you’ve got guts.”
Song Xiaodong smiled, “She’s up to something. Alright, I’m heading out now; it’ll 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 lightly—who knows if it’s 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. Don’t you know I have a lot to do, and yet I have to pick you up?”
“You could’ve just said so; I could’ve taken a taxi.” He Lingzhi rolled her eyes at Song Xiaodong, “Besides, I’m your fiancée, right? What’s wrong with having you pick me up?”
Song Xiaodong jokingly looked at He Lingzhi, “What’s gotten into you? Have you taken the wrong medicine? Suddenly admitting to being my fiancée?”
He Lingzhi lifted her chin, “You’re the one who’s taken the wrong medicine. Isn’t there a saying? When you can’t resist being strong-armed, you might as well enjoy it. I’ve accepted my fate, okay?”
Song Xiaodong didn’t buy it, “That’s not right. With your personality, you wouldn’t easily accept fate. You’re definitely up to something, aren’t you?”
He Lingzhi just chuckled, “Why so much nonsense? Come on, let’s go to your place.”
The two got into the car. He Lingzhi didn’t say much, just looked out the window, while Song Xiaodong’s 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?”
“It’s alright.” Song Xiaodong casually replied.
“What do you mean ‘alright’? Compared to your home, our He family courtyard is nothing. I’m finally realizing how lavish these local families are.”
“It’s 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, wouldn’t 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, “Everyone’s home; I’ll take you to meet them.”
“Hah! Aren’t you afraid I might bully them?”
“If you’re 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 family’s 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 can’t blame me!”
