So You're Such A Doctor Song

Chapter 261: The Person I Like

Song Chuyi pushed him away forcefully and a deep grudge was brewing in his eyes. “My tolerance for you stops here.”

“What do you want to do?” Song Chulang’s expression changed. He grabbed Song Chuyi’s arm.

“What do you think?” Song Chuyi pushed his hand away and looked deeply disappointed. “It’s fine if you don’t like Changqing, but you can’t target the Yan Family. They were innocent throughout all of this. Also, you actually altered the drugs in order to achieve your aim. Have you ever considered what would happen if something went wrong? How dire the consequences could’ve been? Those drugs won’t kill anyone but they will delay their medical recovery. You’re simply a lunatic, not my brother. I’ll tell Dad about your involvement in Dai Ai’s incident.”

“What good would that do you?” Song Chulang grabbed him again. “Do you want Dad to return to the company? Or are you going to take his role? You know nothing about managing a company at all.”

“In any case, I won’t allow you to carry on like this.” Song Chuyi howled furiously. He pushed Song Chulang away forcefully.

Song Chulang smashed into the door behind him with a bang.

“What are the two of you fighting about at night?” Song Huaisheng walked over quietly, pulling a long face.

Song Chuyi took in a deep breath and started, “Dad, I want to tell you that Chulang was behind all the incidents that happened to the Yan Corporation.”

Song Huaisheng’s face turned over and he looked coldly at Song Chulang. “Was everything Chuyi said true?”

“Also...” Song Chuyi continued, “The reason why Dai Ai fell down the stairs was also because Chulang tampered with the steps, causing Changqing to slip when she walked down the stairs with Dai Ai.”

“Chulang, you...”

Before he even finished speaking, Song Huaisheng gave Song Chulang a tight slap. “B*stard, I knew you didn’t like Dai Ai but I never thought that you would be so ruthless to even harm your baby brother.”

The corners of Song Chulang’s mouth twitched as a trickle of blood flowed down. Song Chuyi felt his heart ache. He turned his face around as he couldn’t bear to watch.

If he could’ve helped it, he really didn’t want them to end up like this.

Song Chulang looked down, covering the tumultuous waves of gloom within his eyes and he was silent for a good half minute. He looked back up and started hoarsely, “Dad, I’m sorry. I was just jealous when I saw how much you doted on Dai Ai’s child because ever since we were young, you were only ever strict with Chuyi and me...”

“I was strict because I wanted to make something out of the two of you.” Song Huaisheng’s chest rose and fell angrily. “What about the Yan Corporation? Why did you do that?”

“Dad, can I have a word with you in private?” Song Chulang said suddenly.

Song Huaisheng took a look at Song Chuyi. Although he was angry, he still nodded after thinking for a while. “Chuyi, go downstairs first. I’ll give you an explanation on this matter later.”

After saying that, he went to the study with Song Chulang.

Song Chuyi walked downstairs with mixed emotions. Just as he reached the first floor, he saw Song Yunyang standing by the stairs with a complicated look on her face.

He was stunned then started bitterly, “You heard all of it?”

“I didn’t think that Big Brother would do something like that,” Song Yunyang said with difficulty.

“Yunyang, can you talk some sense into Big Brother?” Song Chuyi had a tone of exhaustion in his voice that she had never heard before.

“Sure, I’ll try. However, he’s always been very stubborn. I’m not certain either...” Song Yunyang said softly, “You’ve been close to Big Brother ever since we were young. I never thought that in the end, because of Yan Changqing...”

“I’m already indebted to her because of Dai Ai’s incident. If this goes on, I don’t know what else my big brother will come up with again.” Song Chuyi’s clean voice became rough and hoarse. “He always felt that Changqing was the main reason we became distant. Actually, we all know it wasn’t...”

“Wasn’t that it?” Song Yunyang suddenly retorted quietly. “Chuyi, you’ve fallen in love with her. If it wasn’t for her, perhaps you wouldn’t have severed ties with me so resolutely.”

Song Chuyi was slightly at a loss for words.

“But I will still help you.” Song Yunyang suppressed the bitterness inside.

“Thank you...” He lowered his head apologetically. “Let me help you back to your room.”

“No need; I can go back myself.” She turned around and walked back to her room slowly while supporting herself against the wall.

Song Chuyi walked behind her and as he looked at her thin and weak silhouette, he felt as though he was looking at his own cowardly and useless self.

He shut his eyes tightly and his heart felt as though it was being grilled on an iron pan.

After around half an hour, the sound of the door opening came from upstairs.

Song Chulang walked behind Song Huaisheng. Other than having a slight bruise on his face, he looked calm.

For some reason, Song Chuyi felt a bad premonition rising from within subconsciously. “Dad...”

“Chuyi, take a seat.” Song Huaisheng waved his hand and sat on the armchair. Song Chulang sat on the other side.

“I talked to your brother just now. I understand what happened very clearly,” Song Huaisheng said coldly. “I’ve taught him a lesson just now. Starting tomorrow, I will be back at the helm at the company and all company decisions will require my approval.”

Song Chuyi nodded. Song Huaisheng had decided to take back the power he gave Song Chulang in the company. That was within Song Chuyi’s expectations but it would probably only be a temporary measure. Song Huaisheng was already getting on in years while Song Chuyi had no understanding of the company’s operations. In no time at all, the company would still return to Song Chulang’s hands.

He glanced at Song Chulang. “Then as for the Yan Corporation...”

Song Huaisheng accepted the cigarette that Song Chulang passed over and allowed Song Chulang to help him light it up. He took a puff and sighed as he exhaled smoke. “We’ve indeed let your Uncle Yan down this time. However, now that things have come to this state, the Yan Corporation’s reputation has already been tarnished and many businesses have already lost faith in the Yan Corporation. It won’t be so easy for the Yan Corporation to stand back up again.”

“We should help them,” Song Chuyi said with a frown.

Upon hearing that, a mocking scoff formed on Song Chulang’s handsome face that was against the light.

Song Huaisheng crossed his legs the other way. “By investing in the Yan Corporation again? The few hundred million that we put in has already gone to waste. If we were to invest more money, the Board of Directors would definitely be against it. Now that things have come to such a state, must we expose that your brother was behind this incident to the Board of Directors? Would the Song Family still be able to raise our heads high in front of the Board of Directors then?”

“So you’re deciding to just let it be?” Song Chuyi sucked in a breath of cold air and stood up in disbelief. “Uncle Yan is your friend and our family was in the wrong. Are we going to stay out of this?”

“We still have another way out,” Song Huaisheng said gently. “Changqing is our family’s daughter-in-law, after all. Even if the Yan Corporation doesn’t make it in the future, we wouldn’t treat her unwell. Besides, with our previous investment of a few hundred million, the Yan Corporation will still be able to settle the compensation. Think about it. If you didn’t marry Changqing then, Yan Lei would’ve most probably gone to jail already. Chuyi, there’s no such thing as real friends when it comes to business. Besides, even if I helped out the Yan Corporation, Yan Lei is also getting on in years and who knows how many years he can still run the Yan Corporation? His two daughters have never done business before either.”

Song Chuyi nodded and seemed to understand.

He felt a chill surging up from within.

Song Huaisheng carried on: “Your wedding with Changqing at the end of the year can be more grand. Do it however you want. Dad will pay for however much you want to spend...”

“Is this the way the Song Family is going to make it up to them?” Song Chuyi’s pupils was infused with anger.

“Chuyi, you should never let your emotions get the better of you in business.” Song Huaisheng’s voice became gentler. “I really want to help them but there’s no way out. Don’t worry, in the future, we will be even better to Changqing. If your brother dares to do something like this again, I definitely won’t let him off.”

Song Chuyi scoffed. “Enough. Aren’t you just saying this to put on an act in front of me? What can you do to my brother? In the face of your so-called business interests, your use for me would never be as much as that of my brother’s. Just like when you persuaded me to go on a blind date then marry Changqing—wasn’t all that also for your so-called interests?”

“Outrageous!” Song Huaisheng’s face fell. “You dare to talk to me like this just because of the Yan Family?”

“Dad, Chuyi’s been staying with the Yan Family every day. He’s basically brainwashed by them,” Song Chulang said suddenly.

“Song Chulang, from today onwards, you’re no longer my brother.” Song Chuyi couldn’t bear it anymore and after saying that angrily, he turned around and left.

Song Chulang’s face changed. Song Huaisheng chided behind him. “Stand right there! Stay here tonight. You’re not allowed to go to the Yan Household!”

“Enough. I’ve had enough of this family already.” Song Chuyi paused in his steps and turned back, saying, “There’s no such thing as kinship in this family. It’s always about your self-interests and only self-interests. How are you like a father to me? You’re simply like my employer. I have to be cautious about whatever I do when I live under this roof. I had to be prudent and mindful with every line I said to you because I was afraid to offend you. Right now, since you have another wife and another son, would it matter if you lost me as a son?”

Song Huaisheng’s body trembled with anger. Song Chulang ran over quickly. “Song Chuyi, are you mad? You’re going to leave this family just because of a woman?”

“It’s not because of a woman. I’ve had enough of our family’s environment. You want the Song Family’s inheritance? You’re afraid that Dai Ai will snatch it away? Then go ahead; the two of you can fight it out however you want.” Song Chuyi opened the car door but was held back by Song Chulang.

“Chuyi, if you dare to leave the Song Family, then let me tell you, I will definitely do the Yan Family in.” Song Chulang revealed an ominous glint.

“You’re a lunatic.” Song Chuyi struggled free from his arm, got in the car and sped off.

Song Chulang kicked the car at the side ruthlessly to vent his anger.

Song Huaisheng walked over with a long face. “You’re the one who caused this. You have to bring your brother back.”

“... Yes.” Song Chulang clenched his fists.

In the depths of the night, there were very few cars on the road.

An Audi A7 sped across the road. It wasn’t until a long time later that Song Chuyi stepped furiously on the brakes as he saw a middle school by the side of the road.

Many familiar snippets of memories flooded in. He opened the car door and walked involuntarily towards the main gate. The main gate was already shut and the only way in was through the security booth.

An old uncle came out from the security booth and asked, “It’s so late. Is anything the matter?”

Song Chuyi looked at him. The old uncle stroked his head with barely any hair left on it. “You, lad, look very familiar.”
