Chapter 19: Only Song Yun Was Worthy

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xu Mu sat in the study in a daze. At this moment, the call had ended. He had yet to recover from his shock. He was supposed to give chase just now but was held up by a call.

If it was someone else on the other end of the line, Xu Mu could still refuse the call. However, the person on the other end of the line was his mother, Tao Ping. Her sincere words of advice still echoed in his ears.

“Son, you have to know that the Song family and our family are on the same level. Think about it. What can you do with Su Yunxiu? She’s just a dancer. What can she help you with? Song Yun is different. You grew up together and the two families know each other well. If you can be together, your pairing would be celebrated.”

When Mama Xu said this, Xu Mu fell silent. His rationality still prevailed. Perhaps she sensed his hesitation, so she gave him an ultimatum.

“Anyway, I’m just going to say this. Our family can’t accept someone like Su Yunxiu. Only Song Yun is worthy of you. It’s good that she’s beautiful. If you can be with Song Yun, you don’t have to worry about your project’s cash flow at all. Have you thought about the consequences if the project you’re working on fails? Think about it yourself. I’ll hang up first.”

Of course, Xu Mu knew what would happen if this project failed.

Not only would he not be able to raise his head in front of the company’s board of directors, but he would also be looked down upon by his father.

Father Xu had yet to completely delegate his power. He was still in charge of the company’s major matters. If he could look at him in a different light this time, the company would be handed over to him bit by bit in the future. Song Yun majored in finance. Be it her personal ability or family background, she could help him take control of the company faster. This was indeed a temptation to him.

It was precisely because of Mother Xu’s words that his perseverance wavered.

Xu Mu picked up the cigarette beside his hand. He had smoked countless cigarettes in the study room, and he had an ambiguous attitude toward this relationship.

At first, he had gotten close to Su Yunxiu on a dare. Since the other party was quite good-looking, he was willing to spend time pursuing her.

One day after they got together, when he officially introduced her to their friends, the envious gazes of those people satisfied the man’s vanity.

After that, they had been together. Occasionally, they would meet for dinner, but he rarely brought her out to play. Xu Mu was destined to lose a lot of freedom in such a family. It was even more so when he was about to graduate in his fourth year.

At that time, Su Yunxiu was very sensible. She would accompany him to the library and comfort him when he was feeling low. At that time, Xu Mu was wondering why there was such a silly girl.

After the two of them graduated, everything went smoothly. Su Yunxiu entered the training institute and became a dance teacher. He also began to take over the family business. Naturally, no one would take him seriously. Xu Mu needed some achievements to consolidate his position in the company.

He did not want to let go of Su Yunxiu so easily. On one hand, he had power and status, and on the other hand, he had a girlfriend for whom he had gradually developed feelings after four years.

Xu Mu was a little conflicted. His pitch-black eyes were filled with emotions. He did not want to give up on either of them.

He took out his phone and found Su Yunxiu’s contact. He wanted to tell her that he agreed to break up. After all, they had four years together. Xu Mu thought that even if they broke up, he had to make it up to her to prevent others from gossiping.

However, what he didn’t expect was that Su Yunxiu couldn’t see this message at all because she had already deleted his contact.

The red exclamation mark was too glaring. Xu Mu gripped his phone tightly and gritted his teeth. He was so angry that his temples were throbbing. He sneered in his heart. She was really fast. She was so anxious to cut ties with him.

Xu Mu couldn’t explain what he was feeling. The feeling of indignance after being deleted occupied his mind. He wondered if Su Yunxiu had fallen for someone else and was in a hurry to kick him away.

Su Yunxiu arrived at the dance studio. Today was supposed to be her day off, but she still came over. Her usual dance studio was empty. Su Yunxiu changed into a dance suit and her light pink dress danced with her steps.

Just as she was about to play music and dance, she heard a low, pleasant, and slightly serious voice.

“There’s nothing in this world that you can’t overcome. No matter what happens, don’t vent on your body. It’s not worth it.”

Yu Wenci’s words were still vivid in her mind, stopping her original thoughts. Her fingers moved slightly, and the sad classical music changed style.

Su Yunxiu closed her eyes and listened to the music for a while. She began to dance to its rhythm, and the expression on her face changed.

She had accidentally sprained her ankle last night, but it was not so serious that she could not dance. Which dancer did not have injuries on her body? As long as it was not too difficult, she could accept this pain.

In university, Su Yunxiu’s legs were always bruised, so Xu Mu didn’t mind. He just glanced at her and asked her to apply some medication. There was no need to make a mountain out of a molehill.

She had studied dance with all her might in order to follow in his footsteps. Finally, with her solid dancing foundation and the girl’s expressive but unexaggerated expression during the dance, she attracted a lot of fans. Even when the dance ended, everyone was still immersed in it.

After becoming a god with one dance, she would create a good result.

This was also the reason why even though Xu Mu’s family background was good, everyone felt that she was too good for Xu Mu.

Yu Zitong accompanied her classmates to sign up for dance class. Her friend had already paid a year’s worth of tuition fees, and the person-in-charge agreed to let them walk around the school. She dragged her friend around and saw a figure prancing in the dance room from the corner of her eye.

Her movements were both firm and gentle. She was immersed in her own world and danced wantonly.

For a moment, it attracted Yu Zitong’s attention. For the first time, she felt that Chinese classical dance could be so beautiful. Su Yunxiu danced like a fairy.

Yu Zitong’s heart began to stir. The two of them unknowingly approached her. The amazement in her eyes did not fade, as if she had seen a fairy dancing.

After the song ended, Su Yunxiu stopped what she was doing and picked up her phone. As she walked, she lowered her head and replied to the message. When she looked up and saw the two girls standing at the door, she was syunned.

Yu Zitong came back to her senses. “I’m sorry, but we saw that Sister’s dance was too beautiful, so we took a few more glances.”

Her tone was filled with indescribable admiration and envy.

At the same time, the more Yu Zitong looked at her, the more familiar it felt. This feeling did not dissipate but became stronger and stronger. This was because Su Yunxiu really looked like the person in the photo. She had this feeling from the first time they met.

Because Su Yunxiu had practiced dancing since she was young, she had an elegant poise and was very recognizable. She did not have the looks of the typical internet celebrity. Her eyes were very beautiful. Looking at her up close, the corners of her eyes curled up slightly, giving off an indescribable charm.

However, the photo on her brother’s phone was taken a little far away. At that time, Yu Wenci had taken the phone away from Yu Zitong before she could look at it carefully. It was understandable that she did not recognize her immediately.

“It’s fine.” Su Yunxiu smiled gently. She recognized Yu Zitong, but she didn’t know her name. “If you’re interested, you can ask the admissions office. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”

“Okay.”

Yu Zitong held her friend’s hand tightly. There was a thoughtful look in her eyes, and her heart was pounding.
