Chapter 314 - I Will Always Support You
historical
Cheng Songyang had a faint scent of cologne on his body. The smell was mild and it was easy to let down one’s guard. It was as gentle and harmless as his appearance. He held Bai Youyou. His voice was gentle as he said, “The ground is cold. Youyou, get up quickly.” He paused, then comforted her in a low voice, “I know you feel bad, but you have to take care of your body. If anything happens to you, President Bai and Mrs. Bai will be very sad.” His voice seemed to have a strange rhythm. He helped Bai Youyou to sit down, his slender fingers tapping on her knees, as if he was thinking about how to comfort her, but also as if he was expressing something.
Bai Youyou couldn’t help but follow Cheng Songyang’s hand. Slowly, her eyes became empty. It was as if the only thing in her world was the hand in front of her. The light tapping sound continued to magnify in her world. Cheng Songyang’s voice seemed to come from a very distant place. “Your life is very precious. You should use it to do more important things. Youyou, there are many ways to achieve your goal.”
Cheng Songyang’s voice became increasingly gentle. He leaned against Bai Youyou’s ear. Every word he said seemed to reach her heart. “Promise me that you won’t be so impulsive in the future, okay? No matter what decision you make, I will always support you. As long as you don’t Hurt Yourself again, okay?”
Bai Youyou looked up at Cheng Songyang. He was wearing a white suit, his clothes were a little messy, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead. His hair was disheveled from running, and he had never been in such a sorry state before. But even so, he was still as gentle as ever. He wouldn’t discourage her, wouldn’t stop her from pursuing Ji Yan, would give her advice, and would always stand behind her.
Bai Youyou suddenly realized that she could trust Cheng Songyang! Her eyes slowly turned red. She suddenly threw herself into Cheng Songyang’s arms and cried loudly. “I’m so sad!”
“It’s okay. I’m here.” Cheng Songyang lowered his eyes to hide the dark look in his eyes. He hugged Bai Youyou gently. “It’s okay. Everything will be fine.”
The scene of them hugging each other was too beautiful. Mrs. Bai and Mr. Bai both heaved a sigh of relief. Mrs. Bai muttered to herself, “It’s okay. I told you that she’s fine. She doesn’t need to see a psychiatrist.” Ji Yan’s words before he left had scared her. In addition to the fact that Bai Youyou didn’t say anything and looked like she was in a daze, as a mother, how could she not be worried? Now that Bai Youyou finally cried, Mrs. Bai was finally relieved. She knew that her daughter was in this state because she had suffered a huge blow and not because she was mentally ill.
“Don’t listen to Ji Yan’s nonsense.” Mr. Bai heard Mrs. Bai’s words. With a sullen look, he said, “If it weren’t for Ji Yan, Youyou wouldn’t have become like this. Ji Yan is vengeful and scheming. His words can’t be trusted at all.” If their family’s daughter went crazy, how embarrassing it would be if word got out?!
Mrs. Bai nodded in agreement. Looking at the gentle and considerate Cheng Songyang, she was finally relieved. Cheng Songyang was the ideal son-in-law for her. Although his career wasn’t that impressive, it was enough for him to treat their daughter well.
“Help Cheng Songyang more in the future. You can help him with his investment projects if you can.” Mrs. Bai nudged Mr. Bai as she reminded him, “Look at how good he is to our daughter. I can feel more at ease when she marries Cheng Songyang in the future.”
“You don’t understand business matters.” Mr. Bai shook his head, his attitude somewhat hesitant. After all, he was a businessman. It was natural for a businessman to chase after profits. When it came to investment, he was more concerned about the risks and returns.
...
“Yes, I don’t understand. Only you understand! It’s not like I’m asking you to empty out your assets to help Cheng Songyang. I’m asking you to help him occasionally. Just treat it as investing in a business venture for the children of your family. What can happen?” Mrs. Bai couldn’t help say angrily, “In my opinion, Cheng Songyang might not be worse than Ji Yan. Previously, he was the interim CEO of Ji Corporation, wasn’t he doing quite well? Ji Corporation’s current achievements are also because he took over the Ji Corporation...” No matter what was said, the more Mrs. Bai looked at Cheng Songyang, the more satisfied she felt. His ability wasn’t bad, but he was held back by the Cheng family, unlike Ji Yan, who could rely on Ji Corporation. She believed that if they had the same opportunity, Cheng Songyang could do even better.
