Chapter 15 Seeking Help
An alliance marriage required agreement from both sides.
My good Brother had finally acted. As his sister, I had to live up to his expectations.
From that day on, I looked depressed. I had no appetite. Everyone noticed.
But I did not actually make myself sick. I only made myself look weaker and paler. My face was my main weapon.
When the time was right, I went to the Song Group after school instead of returning to the Song residence.
"Hello, I would like to see Song Chengyuan."
"Do you have an appointment?" The receptionist showed no contempt.
I had expected some sarcasm, like in novels.
Of course. A top company like this would not allow any faults.
I bit my lip and put on a troubled expression. "Could you please tell him that I... am Song Chengyuan's cousin?"
"Very well, miss. You may wait in the lounge." She guided me there and prepared tea.
I felt awkward handling kindness.
"Miss Lin Ruxu, Assistant Yan will take you to Song Chengyuan's office."
Song Chengyuan acted quickly. I had not even finished one cup of tea. He must have been waiting for this day too.
"Miss Lin Ruxu, this is Song Chengyuan's office."
"Thank you." I pushed the door open and walked in. Success or failure depended on this.
