In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 25

What’s going on?

It looks like Steven Song is using me as a shield again. But are these two women are so easy to fool around?

“Steven, before someone in the company sends me a picture that you have a fancy for an ordinary woman. I don't believe it. Now you take her home to live together? Violet is such a perfect match for you to marry and you don’t want her. But how could you like a woman like this, what are you thinking?”

The older woman fumes at Steven Song. She has been looking at the album just now. I wonder what she is looking at. It turn out that she is looking at the picture of Steven Song and me.

Violet, she mentioned just now, is definitely this young woman. I know I am not equal to compare with her, but it goes too far to magnify her by despising me.

“Mom, what are you talking about? I think Jane Noyes is good. She is so clever and tender, she cooks well, and also she looks beautiful.”

Steven Song says and looks at me with satisfaction.

But I am lost in the first word he says and couldn’t get coherent.

Mom?

This young woman is Steven Song’s mom? God!

I’ve read some information about Steven Song. He's only a year or two older than me. I don't think his mother could give birth to him at 10. I can only say that the rich are just so good at maintaining themselves. She is at least 40 years old, but she looks as old as her son!

Being as a woman, my mother looks like 50s in her 40s and this woman looks like she's in her 30s. That's a big difference.

Then Steven Song’s mom throws a bombshell at me.

“As a shareholder of Song Group, I hereby inform you that you do not need to go to work today. You would better have a clear understanding of yourself if you want to climb up depending on a man!” What this noble and elegant woman says is unpleasant to hear.

Violet stands behind her, with a proud smile on her lips.

“If you fire her, I can only fire the whole company. The weather has started to get cold recently, so there is not much motivation to work. It would be nice to stay in Maldives for three or two months.”

With his hands wrapped on my waist, Steven Song takes me to sit on the couch.

His mother and Violet also come over, they both look not well.

His mother sits opposite to him and says in disbelief, “you don’t even care about your company for a woman. It seems your father is right. You are a rotten wood that cannot be carved!”

Steven Song smiles lazily and sinks down on the couch.

“You have always wanted to force the rotten wood to be carved. But have you ever asked the the rotten wood if it wants to be carved?”

To be honest, Steven Song really looks like the v. His words are amazing, but also make me want to laugh.

But the two women sitting on the opposite don’t look well. Especially his mother, she is so angry and stands up and says, “Do you really want to piss me off? I care about you but you, ingrate, how can you say this to me!”

His mother takes Violet out angrily. Violet seems unwilling to leave, but she has no choice, she can only follow Steven Song his mother to leave.

The door is slammed. The cynical look on Steven Song’s face suddenly disappears.

“Is it okay to piss your mother off like this?” I ask worriedly.

“It’s fine. She is faking. She comes with Violet Sue deliberately. She doesn’t like Violet Sue, either. She knows you living with me and just comes here to find an excuse. Why don’t you think about it, how much hatred could I have with my mom.”

He gets up from the sofa and goes to his room to dress up quickly.

Since it is late, I don’t have breakfast and drive Steven Song to the company. I buy some food downstairs for breakfast.

Just as I sit down, Frances Louis calls.

It is not strange that I have Frances Louis’s number. But from where does he get my number? Besides, what happened? Why does he call me?

I look at Steven Song, who is sleeping on the opposite couch, and go to the corner to answer the phone.
