So You're Such A Doctor Song - Chapter 268

Chapter 268: I’m A Coward

Song Chuyi was stunned.

Changqing closed her wet eyes and shook her head. “They won’t. Do you think I still don’t understand clearly what kind of a person your brother is? To be honest, thinking about your brother and your dad now make me shudder, especially your brother. Every time I interact with him, I’m on pins and needles. I’m even afraid to run into him when I go to your house. Last time, he only abandoned me on a deserted street, almost causing me to be taken advantage of. This time, he only destroyed the Yan Corporation’s reputation, causing the company to lose a huge sum of money and face an unknown future, but what about next time? What would he do then? What would he do to my family again?”

Song Chuyi held onto her hand tightly until her arms started turning red. “Changqing, I wouldn’t let such a thing happen…”

“Chuchu, although you have friends like Chief Zhan and Shaobin, you guys ultimately don’t know what it’s like in the business field. As long as the Yan Corporation is around, your brother would find a way to get us. This time, it was my dad’s company. Next time, it might be my sister. She’s just a doctor. It’d be a piece of cake for the Song Family to destroy her. Just like that Dr. Yan—isn’t he the best example? There’s no need for evidence at all, yet the Song Family can simply create its own evidence.” Changqing recalled Song Chulang’s face and couldn’t help but shudder. “Previously, he told me at the hospital that if I didn’t leave you, the Yan family would have to pay a heavy price. I got with you again because I liked you. I was submerged in the joy that you brought me and even forgot what kind of person your brother was. As long as I’m with you, he will haunt me like a ghost and pester my family. I’m fine with that, but… I don’t want my family to be hurt again.”

Song Chuyi saw the fear on her face and he felt like an ax had chopped his heart ruthlessly in half.

As a man, he was helpless when his woman was afraid and all this fear was even caused by his family.

Changqing pushed his hand away bitterly. “Chuchu, I’m sorry. I really… don’t dare to carry on. I’m a coward. I can’t risk it with you till the end. The only wish I have is for my family to be safe and healthy. I’m not good enough for the Song Family. As for the investment, I will get my dad to sell the company as soon as possible so that we can return the money to the Song family quickly. That way… we can go back to the time before we got married sooner. The Song and Yan families will each lead our own lives.”

Song Chuyi didn’t move. His hand was frozen in mid-air. He watched her with a deep gaze.

For the first time, he felt that he might really not be able to hold her back.

She was right about some things.

Being with him was a risk. She had a reason to not take a risk with him.

He yearned for a quiet and peaceful life, but never did he expect that in the end, he would make his woman feel that being with him was a risk.

How hilarious.

The corners of his lips curled up bitterly.

Seeing him like that, Changqing felt a sense of convulsion in her throat. “Go to Switzerland. I think I can understand now why you… didn’t want to go. You felt that leaving at this time would be akin to abandoning me, right? Then right now, I’m abandoning you first so you can go. You should still chase your dreams. My sister said before that every medical practitioner longs to further their studies at a place like that. I… I’ll get going first. We’ll find a time to get the divorce finalized. Also, I will leave Robben and Lolita in your care in the future.”

After saying that, she walked into the elevator. Robben and Lolita chased after, barking behind her.

Song Chuyi closed his eyes and shouted coldly, “Robben, Lolita, come back here.”

Robben’s tail froze from fright and he stood rooted to the ground. Lolita watched him blankly. When she turned her head back, she realized the elevator door had closed. She scratched at the door hard but it didn’t open again.

Song Chuyi stood in the hallway quietly for a while before walking into the apartment.

Robben and Lolita hung their heads as they followed behind him.

Are we staying here in the future?

We don’t want to stay here.

They were used to the house with a large garden. They didn’t like to only be able to run around the living room every day in this small house.

Robben whined and lay on the floor. He felt every single pore in his body exuding sadness.

Song Chuyi threw himself on the couch expressionlessly.

He didn’t move.

The sun set slowly.

The house got darker. Robben and Lolita started barking.

They were hungry, and they wanted to eat.

However, their male owner ignored them.

They missed the pretty female owner.

Could it be that they were going to live with this male owner in the future? That would be an unthinkable nightmare.

When Song Chulang entered, the house was pitch black. If not for the sound of the dogs’ movements and their barks at him, he would’ve thought that Song Chulang forgot to close the door before leaving.

However, upon seeing another husky that also looked like a stray dog beside the labrador that he saw before, Song Chulang’s brows knit even tighter.

He felt around the wall and switched the lights on. When he saw Song Chuyi, who was lying on the couch, he frowned. “Are you going to open a pet amusement park? How many dogs are you going to keep?”

Song Chuyi’s eyes were still shut. He didn’t even blink.

Song Chulang knew that he definitely wasn’t asleep since the dogs were so noisy.

The moment he took a step forward, Robben and Lolita ran to block his path and barked wildly at him.

Robben had already grown to be large and strong and Lolita had also been growing very quickly. Although she wasn’t as tall as Robben, her little wolfdog appearance still looked quite intimidating.

“What’s your problem?” Song Chulang saw Robben before and didn’t believe that Robben would bite him. Who knew that the moment he moved his foot, Lolita would bite his trouser leg. Song Chulang flung her away with annoyance.

Seeing Lolita getting bullied, Robben’s big body pounced on him.

The dogs made Song Chulang flustered. “Song Chuyi, get your dogs under control.”

“Robben and Lolita are in a bad mood today. I suggest you leave quickly.” Song Chuyi sat up expressionlessly. His eyes shone with a menacing flame that looked just like the one in Robben’s eyes when Robben pounced on him.

Song Chulang was stunned. Suddenly, he felt a sudden pain on his arm. Robben bit him.

He kicked Robben away angrily. Robben clambered up as he pounced over again with his menacing features all twisted.

“Robben, go away,” Song Chuyi chided.

Robben barked and returned obediently to his side.

Song Chulang lowered his head to look at his bleeding arm and was furious. “Song Chuyi, are you crazy? You let your dogs bite me like this?”

Song Chuyi didn’t speak. He only took a few steps forward quickly and a punch as hard as steel landed ruthlessly on Song Chulang’s face.

This time, he really gave it his all, unlike the previous time when he only used half his strength.

Song Chulang could feel the smell of blood surging up from his throat and his brain was in a buzz. He finally managed to stabilize himself.

Song Chuyi pulled his body in and kneed him hard on his abdomen.

His organs twisted in pain all of a sudden. He bent down and saw Song Chuyi picking up a stool from the side slowly and smashing it ruthlessly on his back.

Song Chulang almost lost consciousness. It took him much effort to finally flip over as his body convulsed. He saw, amidst patches of black, that Song Chuyi was standing in front of him. Song Chuyi’s face was icy cold and there was no warmth in his eyes.

He struggled to keep his eyes wide open. “Chuyi, how dare you beat me like this?”

He knew that Song Chuyi was very good at fighting. He was mischievous ever since kindergarten and when he reached junior high, he even got mixed up with people like Li Shaobin, who liked fighting. He would always run home with injuries all over, several times each week.

As for himself, he studied hard and was the obedient child in the eyes of his parents. He always thought that he had to study hard, inherit the Song Family and take care of his siblings.

Song Chuyi had also always been very respectful to him as a brother. He never thought that there would be a day when Song Chuyi would be so ruthless to him.

“Yes. I did beat you. There’s a limit to my patience.” Song Chuyi lowered his head and looked at him from above. “All my life, I’ve been grateful to you. As my older brother, you put up with me, but now, what have you become? Do you think it’s great that things have come to this? For your selfish desires, in order to pull me and Yunyang together, you found ways and means to destroy my marriage. Do you think it was for the sake of me and for the sake of Yunyang? You’re my older brother. Do you even know what kind of life I want?”

Song Chulang watched him gloomily.

“Do you even know why I broke up with Yunyang? It was because of you. You made me feel useless. When I was with her, I constantly felt tied down. Now, I’ve finally freed myself from the chains and I thought I could start afresh, but you had to mess my life up. You understood very clearly what kind of family we have ever since we were young.

“The life I want is very simple. I want to go to and from work normally, cook meals with my woman whenever we’re free, watch movies, have a few children and form a warm family that I didn’t have. We grew up in the same environment. You should know what kind of life I want.” Song Chuyi put his hand on his forehead and his eyes reddened. “You’re becoming more and more like Dad. You’re becoming more and more emotionless and selfish. You take things in your own hands. You two treat marriage lightly. You’re no longer my brother. I’m warning you—don’t ever appear in front of me again. I’ve said before that I’m no longer related to the Song family. I will never step foot into the Song family residence ever again. You can fight it out with Dai Ai however you want. Even if you get all the family inheritance, don’t look for me. We’re not the same.”

After saying that, he took Robben and Lolita out of the apartment.

He probably wouldn’t be able to live there anymore to prevent the Song family’s people from pestering him.

The house returned to its quietness. Song Chulang stared blankly at the ceiling.

It was so quiet that it felt as though he was attacked by an endless surge of loneliness.

He suddenly recalled the past when he and Chuyi would hide outside behind the door, listening to their parents quarreling and smashing things around. He held Chuyi’s hands tightly then, as though he was the source of all his strength.

After that, they grew up slowly and their parents got a divorce.

Chuyi said the divorce was good because they didn’t need to see them fight again.

After that, he would get drunk at night.

At that time, he swore he would take good care of his brother and give him all the best things in life.

However, now, Chuyi said he shouldn’t appear in front of him ever again.

The corners of his mouth lifted up into a self-mocking smile. He actually felt incomparably lonely.

After seven to eight minutes, the paramedics rushed in. They saw him lying on the floor and put him on a stretcher carefully.

“Who called you over?” he asked hoarsely.

“I don’t know, someone called 911.”

Song Chuyi brought the dogs over to Li Shaobin’s villa.

Li Shaobin was feasting with his brothers and when he received the call, he drove back immediately. Seeing the extra husky in front of him, he was shocked. “When did you get a husky?”

“Robben’s child-bride.” Li Shaobin lowered his head and stroked Lolita’s little head.

“F*ck, Robben’s so lucky.” Even Li Shaobin was a little envious. “However, I didn’t think that you were like that, Old Song. You even got Robben a child-bride.”

“It wasn’t me, it was Changqing,” Song Chuyi said lightly. “From today onwards, we will be staying here with you for a while. My dad will definitely pester me. I think staying here is the safest choice.”

“Sure, no problem.” Upon hearing that, Li Shaobin couldn’t stop smiling. One would never understand the loneliness of a single man who lived alone.

“Right, do you have meat in your house? I have to feed the dogs. It’d be great if Lolita can grow to be as big as Robben,” Song Chuyi said thoughtfully.

“This kind of dog will probably grow to be bigger than Robben.” Li Shaobin was bewildered. “Say, why did you raise two such fierce dogs? Are you sure women would still dare to get close to you? Even I’m a little afraid to get close to you.”

“No. I think they’re fine. I’ll make them bite whoever I don’t like.” Song Chuyi smiled creepily.

Li Shaobin was quite excited. “That seems to make some sense. Why don’t I get two Tibetan Mastiffs?”

“If you get two Tibetan Mastiffs, you’ll probably have to look for a man to spend your life with.” Song Chuyi shook his head. “When Robben and Lolita give birth to puppies, I’ll give you two.”

“That’s great. Then that’s settled.” Li Shaobin quickly got the nanny to look for some meat happily. He had decided to make Lolita grow up quickly so that she could give birth to little puppies quickly.

At night, at the Yan Household’s dinner table, Lin Yiqin and Changxin exchanged glances quietly. No one dared to say the first word.

Changqing ate the white rice in her bowl blankly. She took a few bites of the rice, forgetting to even get some side dishes.

Changxin couldn’t bear to see her like that. She picked some spareribs for Changqing quietly.

Changqing chewed like she was eating rubber.

Changxin was worried. Finished. Her sister wasn’t even interested in her favorite spare ribs.

They finished the meal with much difficulty. Auntie Zhang was clearing the cutlery and sweeping the bones into the dustbin when Changqing finally looked around normally. “Auntie Zhang, you can keep the bones for Robben and Lolita to chew on.”

Auntie Zhang reminded her carefully. “Didn’t you… send Robben and Lolita away already?”

Changqing was stunned and looked as though she just came back to her senses. She looked around and finally recalled that she had personally sent Robben and Lolita to Song Chuyi just a while ago.

This house had become so much emptier all of a sudden. In the past, during meal times, Robben and Lolita would love to run around the table, hoping that she would feed them some bones.

While Song Chuyi would be sitting on the chair next to her, eating quietly and elegantly.

She looked at the chair beside her. It was empty…

She looked up and watched Changxin with her large, misty eyes. “Sis, can I sleep with you tonight?”

She didn’t want to go back to that large bed alone.

Habits were very scary. There was a period of time when she found it annoying to have an extra person on the bed because she could no longer roll around freely. Now, she wasn’t used to not having that man hugging and cuddling her in bed.

“Alright, of course.” Changxin nodded quickly.

“Right, why’s Dad not back for dinner?” Changqing suddenly thought about him.

“He’s busy looking for clients to buy the overstocked goods from the company,” Changxin said. “Dad turned down the acquisition plan in the morning. He felt that even if he was willing to sell the company to someone else, he wouldn’t sell it to the Song Family.”

Changqing nodded. She could understand how her Dad felt. Actually, she agreed with it. “I’ll ask a friend for help to see if we can sell those goods quickly.”

“Mm, mm. We’ll talk about other things after this ordeal.” Changxin patted the back of her hand.

Changqing’s spirits rose and she called her friends one by one.

Although she didn’t have many close friends, Ruan Yang, Zuo Qian, and the others had an extensive network of contacts and it was always good to get them to help.

However, she didn’t think that she would really receive news a few days later. The news even came from Guan Ying.

“Changqing, do you remember that I told you previously about James coming to China? He contacted me yesterday and I mentioned this matter. It was such a coincidence that Lin Yueli’s uncle actually runs a pharmaceutical business in South America. He heard that Chinese medicinal products have been selling well there, so his uncle had been planning to look for a Chinese supplier. Although the Yan Corporation has faced some problems, as long as the goods are fine, we can still ship the stock overseas. I think you can discuss this with him.”
