“Alright, as long as you don’t turn back and attack the Song Corporation, that’s fine too. Then you can go draft up the agreement. When the Song Corporation is operating normally, I will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with you. I believe with your ability, it will only take you a few months to bring the Song Corporation back to power.” Song Wei smiled.

The three-year contract was almost up.

They only had one year left. It seemed that he didn’t even want to wait another year.

He must be eager to give Jiang Manxue a title. After all, that woman was pregnant with his flesh and blood.

Lu Chengchen only acknowledged Song Wei’s words lightly. No one could tell if he was happy or angry.

His reply made Song Wei’s nose ache. Song Wei turned her head away and stopped looking at him. She squeezed out a bright smile like before and asked half-jokingly, “Lu Chengchen, do you really like Jiang Manxue that much? You’re even willing to save the Song Corporation for her.”

It should be known that when the Song family returns to the right track, the Lu family might not despise the Song family anymore.

On the other hand, Jiang Manxue was just an ordinary Cinderella. It was impossible for the Lu family to allow a woman who was of no help to marry Lu Chengchen, even if Jiang Manxue was pregnant.

Lu Chengchen looked at Song Wei.

From his angle, he could only see the side of her face. There was a smile on her face as usual. Suddenly, he felt a little dazed.

“If not, what do you think?”

In the quiet and cold night, the man said those sarcastic words.

Song Wei felt that she was asking for trouble again.

“Manxue is pregnant now. I can’t let an innocent life carry the title of an illegitimate child,” Lu Chengchen said in a deep voice. His gaze suddenly became very serious as he stared at Song Wei. “You know, I hate illegitimate children the most in this lifetime.”

His words made Song Wei’s heart stop.

She was not a fool. She could feel Lu Chengchen gnashing his teeth when he said illegitimate child. He also looked at her with obvious mockery and maliciousness.

It was rumored that the Lu family had an illegitimate child whose birth mother was unknown. The illegitimate child, due to his lowly background, was looked down upon. He disappeared when he was 16 years old and his whereabouts were unknown.

That illegitimate child was Lu Chengchen.

After he went missing, the Lu family thought that he was dead and no one went to look for him at all. They thought that he only had his cheap life left. Unexpectedly, a few years later, Lu Chengchen came back and took over the Lu family’s power with his iron fist. He became the head of the Lu family in one leap.

When it came to illegitimate children, Song Wei had somehow offended Lu Chengchen.

She had met him when she was young. Even though she knew that he was an illegitimate child, she had never said a single bad word about him. At that time, she even felt empathetic because she was the same as him, a person who had no father and no mother.

The hatred in Lu Chengchen’s eyes was too clear, and Song Wei could not help but lower her head.

“Fine. That’s it, then.” She had nothing more to say.

Since he liked Jiang Manxue so much and liked the child in her womb, she was not an insensible person. She would also not go out and beg him not to divorce her.

Her upbringing made her remember that women had dignity too.

She would not lose herself over a man.

But at the same time, she could not figure out whether she had saved her dignity as a woman by giving in without any backbone, or whether she had really humbled herself to her bones.

Should she fight to the end or just let go?

In the middle of the night, Song Wei tossed and turned in bed. She couldn’t fall asleep no matter what. She kept thinking about this question, but she couldn’t think of an answer all night.

The next day, she went to the office in low spirits.

Lu Chengchen acted quickly and brought the contract to the Song Corporation in the afternoon. He didn’t even want to sign the contract with her in person. It seemed like he really hated her to the core. He didn’t even want to look at her after the contract was signed..
