Chapter 73 - Confession
Fu Le said helplessly, "Song Ning, can you not be so stubborn? I admit that I was wrong; you have to, at least, give me a chance to change, right? Even if you can't do it for anyone else, can't you forgive me for my mother's sake? I'll definitely break up with Feng Man."
"Fu Le, whether you break up with Feng Man or not is your business. I have nothing to do with you anymore. As for your grandmother, I agree not to say anything for the time being so as to not agitate her. However, you're on your own. I have no wish to act with you," Song Ning said before she turned around to leave.
Fu Le reached out and grabbed her arm. "Song Ning, let's look for a place to sit down so we can have a good talk."
Song Ning pushed his hand away before she said solemnly, "Fu Le, there's nothing for us to talk about. Didn't we make everything clear? I've reflected on our relationship as well. Indeed, I'm not suitable for you. My mind is focused on my studies so I can't give you the romantic love you want. I can never change this about myself so don't waste your time on me."
Fu Le replied anxiously, "Who says you're not suitable for me? There's no need for you to change. I'll change. I'll change, alright? All I ask is for you to not break up with me. Let's find time to register our marriage. After we get married and settle down, you'll be able to see my determination…"
There was no change in Song Ning's expression as she looked at him and calmly said, "There's no need for that. I'm already married."
Song Ning did not want to have any more entanglements with him so she turned around to leave after she finished speaking.
Fu Le shouted at her back, "How can that marriage of yours count? Song Ning, marry me!"
The doctors and nurses in the surroundings exchanged a look upon seeing this small commotion.
Meanwhile, Song Ning did not pause in her steps at all; she really did not want to have anything to do with him anymore. He was just like a child. He probably wanted to get back together because he found that she had gotten married and was provoked by that. He was like a child who had discarded a toy, but when someone else picked up the discarded toy, he suddenly wanted the toy again. This alone exposed his selfishness.
Song Ning really felt lucky. It was clear that she and Fu Le were incredibly incompatible. She was really fortunate she did not get married to him.
At this moment, Song Ning's phone vibrated. Mu Chen had sent her a picture of Zhuang Ji's workroom. Her mood improved immediately when she saw the beautiful and meticulously decorated workroom.
She was pleasantly surprised when she found out not only did Jiahui's cousin, An Ran, like embroidery, but An Ran was an expert as well.
When An Ran discovered the studio had once belonged to Zhuang Yi, she burst into tears immediately. After all, Zhuang Yi was the reason she had fallen in love with embroidery and influenced her to embark on the road of fashion designing. Apart from that, she had been moved by Cheng Che's business direction and philosophy. Therefore, she did not hesitate to sign a contract with Cheng Che, officially becoming the first employee of the new Zhuang Ji.
With this, Cheng Che felt like a tiger who had sprouted wings. Now that he had someone who understood the current trend and technology on his side, he became even more confident about seeking cooperation with others. He was so excited that he even asked Mu Chen if he could invest in Zhuang Ji and become a shareholder. He found that he was really interested in the business. In response, Mu Chen had told him to speak about this matter again after he had made Zhuang Ji famous.
In private, Mu Chen had spoken to Song Ning and asked her about her vision for Zhuang Ji.
Initially, Song Ning only wanted to keep Zhuang Ji from closing down. It was something her mother had left her, after all. She was unwilling to see her mother's hard work wither in her hands. However, currently, with Cheng Che's help, Zhuang Ji's future was limitless.
Song Ning mulled over the matter the entire night before she decided to let Mu Chen make the decisions. She believed in him. Her only request was that Zhuang Ji must not lose its heart and forget its roots.
Mu Chen, naturally, understood what she meant and reassured her.
Song Ning really felt the heavens were watching over her when she thought about these things.
…
In the afternoon.
Professor Li had asked Song Ning to go to the Inpatient Department to get a few case files for research purposes.
As Song Ning walked past the emergency exit near the Cardiology and Neurology Departments, she was hoping she would not run into Fu Le. When she heard the sound of arguments, she felt rather awkward. When she heard the words 'Song Ning' and the voices, she knew it was Fu Le and Feng Man who were arguing.
The sounds of Song Ning's grew softer; she did not want to be discovered since she wanted nothing to do with their matters and had no interest in listening to their arguments.
Nevertheless, the volume of Feng Man's voice made it difficult for Song Ning to tune out their argument.
"The entire hospital is now talking about you chasing Song Ning and asking her to marry you! How can you embarrass me like that?"
Fu Le said in a reassuring tone, "Manman, don't be angry. It's not like that. Listen to my explanation."
Feng Man ignored Fu Le and continued to say, "What's the point of explaining? Fu Le, I treated you sincerely, and this is how you return the favor? Are you worthy of me?"
