You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 100

Song Xiyu was slightly taken aback by Bai Rong’s coldness.

She had assumed that Bai Rong was a gentle young lady but it turned out that she was actually a stern and fierce talker. Her attitude was quite different from Song Xiyu’s expectations.

“I think there’s still something that Mingchen hasn’t told you yet.” Song Xiyu lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea.

“What is it?” Bai Rong had a bad feeling about it.

“Mingchen is rather fond of you, maybe even more than I have expected. He has been giving his all to protect you from harm’s way so that you can be warm and safe. However, this peaceful safety zone, separated from the world of danger, is built and sustained by Mingchen’s sweat and blood. Do you know that, Ms. Bai?” Song Xiyu smiled but her eyes were full of pain.

“I do not. Can you give a clearer explanation?” Bai Rong creased her brows.

“You’ve met Su Zheng, I suppose. He’s Su Wanning’s father and the current first-in-command of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. The man is blackmailing Mingchen’s father. So we have promised Mingchen that if he could find out who Governor Cheng’s murderer is, we will agree to him marrying you; but if he can’t, he must marry Su Wanning. When we agreed to that, we had hoped that he wouldn’t succeed so we deliberately leaked out information about him.”

Bai Rong stood up and could not keep her composure, “Because you leaked the information on purpose, it led to Tang Xiaojiu’s death!”

Song Xiyu did not look at Bai Rong directly, “We thought that there would be people who did not want Mingchen to find Tang Xiaojiu and prevent him from doing so. But we did not expect that it would result in Tang Xiaojiu being murdered.”

“Mrs. Gu, how could a smart woman like you not have predicted this?” Bai Rong mocked her with sharp words.

She did not expect Gu Mingchen’s parents to harm their own son.

“I admit we were selfish but this was all for Mingchen. Even though it is proven that Governor Cheng’s murderer wasn’t Tianhang nor Mingchen, the trade between Tian Hang and Governor Cheng still exists. Whether they let this case slide or not depends on Su Zheng. You might not know this, but do you remember the day when you were taken away by your husband, Su Xuyan?” Song Xiyu reminded her.

Bai Rong pressed her lips and said nothing.

“Mingchen ordered for Su Xuyan’s arrest because he wanted to save you. You still don’t know Su Xuyan’s real identity, do you? His mother, Xiong Daini is the mistress of the commander-in-chief. She is also the only other woman acknowledged by the commander-in-chief’s wife. This is a known secret in the circle. In other words, Su Xuyan is actually protected by the commander-in-chief.”

“Mingchen had caused Su Xuyan to lose his official position at the Ministry of Health and had also arrested him previously. What he did was equivalent to offending the commander-in-chief himself. There have been rumors floating around saying that Mingchen will become the next commander-in-chief. But the commander-in-chief’s son, Shen Yiyan, is already 24 years old and he is keen on letting his son inherit his position.”

“Originally, the contradictions serve as a kind of restriction to balance both parties’ powers. But once Su Zheng decided not to let Tianhang off, that’s when the scales would tilt against our favor. When this happens, the commander-in-chief would also not let Tianhang off. By then, it would be the collapse of Tianhang and I. It wouldn’t be hard to guess that Mingchen would be next. This is why Mingchen must marry Wanning. If you really love him, please save him. I’m not trying to break you two apart with this 8 million. This is just a compensation for your sacrifice,” Song Xiyu said emotionally.

Bai Rong fixed her gaze on Song Xiyu.

She really deserved the title of a strong woman.

After years of diving between business and politics, she still managed to maintain a strong foothold. It was obvious that the woman had an IQ and EQ that far surpassed that of an average person.

Bai Rong was finally persuaded by her.

“Don’t worry. No matter if he is worthless or priceless in my heart, the result would still be what you want,” Bai Rong said coldly.

Song Xiyu was touched and stood up, “I thank you on behalf of Mingchen, myself and the entire Gu family, thank you for your selflessness. I have one more request.”

“Just say it.” Bai Rong’s legs went weak and she sat down on the sofa.
