This is Zhong Yuxiu! He used to think she was Li Qiyu with ancient memories and that's why she said she was Zhou Donglin.
Zhong Yuxiu was like this. When she got nervous, she would habitually grab her own hair. He had lived with Zhong Yuxiu for so many years, and he was all too familiar with this little gesture.
If Zhong Yuxiu has traveled through time, then where is Li Qiyu? Where has Li Qiyu gone?
Song Yunsheng suddenly felt a bit lost.
Is time - traveling something that just anyone can experience?
At first, he thought Li Xichi was the reincarnation of Li Qiyu, but now he found that it was Zhong Yuxiu's soul living in Li Qiyu's body.
Didn't this mean that he only had an empty shell?
It wasn't that he didn't like Zhong Yuxiu. He had also given her a bit of his true heart.
She was a woman who truly loved him, just like Li Qiyu. Moreover, Zhong Yuxiu was his master's daughter. He felt a bit of gratitude and respect for her.
Yes, he just didn't love her.
If he had loved her, he wouldn't have been able to use her so calmly. He used his master's prestige among the common people to win popular support for himself, and used his master, who had no desires or ambitions, to stabilize the court after he uprooted the Li family.
So in ancient times, Song Jiashe treated Zhong Yuxiu with great respect. Except for the position of the queen, he gave her all the decency a woman could get.
They were like a couple who respected each other like guests.
But now, this woman had taken over Li Qiyu's body, which made Song Yunsheng a bit disappointed.
At this time, Zhong Yuxiu also asked, "I heard we have an engagement?"
When Jiang Yongfeng was chatting with Song Yunsheng just now, Zhong Yuxiu had also listened.
Song Yunsheng didn't really want to admit this.
He replied, "It's not really an engagement. We're just dating."
"Well, that's just right. I don't like you either. Let's just call it quits."
Hearing this, Song Yunsheng raised his eyebrows. Zhong Yuxiu was quite bold to say such a thing.
"Why?"
"No reason. You, Zhou Donglin, like Li Qiyu. Oh, I get it now... It's because I look exactly like her that you..."
Song Yunsheng wasn't annoyed when his thoughts were exposed. He said, "I'm afraid this isn't something we can decide."
This was a matter between the two families. Maybe Zhong Yuxiu hadn't adapted to her new identity yet. She was no longer the former young lady. Her status didn't allow her to reject him.
"Don't talk to me about the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers. I didn't listen to my father in ancient times, and I won't listen now."
Because these people of the Li family weren't really her parents. Li Xiangping was very much like General Li in ancient times, and Li Yuanhua was just like the eldest son of the Li family.
Back then in the court, their Zhong family and the Li family were like two sharp needles facing each other. It was impossible for her to recognize the Li family members as her relatives.
"What? Even after traveling through time, you still miss that emperor?" Song Yunsheng teased.
"He was my husband and also your sovereign. Watch your words."
Zhong Yuxiu almost instinctively defended Song Jiashe.
This made Song Yunsheng feel mixed emotions.
This girl hadn't changed. Whether in modern times or ancient times, she was deeply in love with him.
It was a pity.
She wasn't Li Qiyu.
At this time, Li Xiangping, who had received Jiang Yongfeng's notice, walked in. Seeing Song Yunsheng and Zhong Yuxiu sitting opposite each other and "chatting happily", his originally nervous heart finally calmed down.
He interrupted their conversation. Zhong Yuxiu and Song Yunsheng were very tacit in not mentioning the time - traveling at all.
After lunch at the Li family's, Song Yunsheng bid farewell.
Sitting in the car, his mind kept echoing Zhong Yuxiu's words.
He felt his head was about to explode. Li Xichi with Li Qiyu's face wasn't Li Qiyu but Zhong Yuxiu.
Now, Li Xichi was like a chicken rib to him, tasteless to eat but a pity to discard.
Moreover, Zhong Yuxiu's appearance made him realize one thing: It wasn't just him who had traveled through time.
Did this also mean that there were other people who had traveled through time?
Could Li Qiyu also be in this era? Maybe she had possessed someone's body that he hadn't found yet.
But... how could he recognize her?
He tried hard to recall the bits and pieces of his time with Li Qiyu, but it was too long ago.
Since he decided to deal with the Li family, he had deliberately kept a distance from Li Qiyu. Now, when he thought of Li Qiyu, the only thing in his mind was the determined words she said when she jumped off the building: "Song Jiashe, if there is an afterlife, I don't want to be your wife anymore."
Song Yunsheng closed his eyes tiredly. Just as he was thinking, his phone vibrated, indicating a new message.
Song Yunsheng picked up his phone and took a look.
It was from Old Song.
Old Song must be assigning him tasks again.
He was at least an emperor in ancient times, but in modern times, he could only be assigned to do this and that by Old Song.
Song Yunsheng really didn't have the mood to deal with it, but he had to cheer up. He took a deep breath and opened the chat page.
Old Song sent him a news article about Li Film Industry's upcoming movie "The Collection of Spring and Yu". In the news picture, people from Li Film Industry were communicating with museum and archaeological staff. The picture was blurry. It didn't seem to be an official one. It should have been secretly taken.
However, the Song family didn't interfere in the entertainment industry. He didn't know why Old Song sent this to him.
Not sure about Old Song's intention, Song Yunsheng asked, "Are you also interested in this 'The Collection of Spring and Yu', Old Song?"
"Why would our Song family get involved in the entertainment industry? I'm showing you this so that you can contact the Li family. Our Song Enterprise wants to be the exclusive investor of this movie."
The exclusive investor of Li Film Industry?
Song Yunsheng looked down on such a small - scale project. Moreover, since the Song family was so solid in the real - estate industry, did they still need to do such flashy advertising?
Of course, Song Yunsheng understood Old Song's intention very well.
Whether to invest or not didn't really matter. The main thing was to get on good terms with Song Yian.
Old Song's flattering attitude towards Song Yian gave Song Yunsheng a headache.
He could only reply, "Okay, I'll follow up on this project."
Song Yunsheng wasn't used to following entertainment news. He was shocked when he searched for it.
This "The Collection of Spring and Yu" was so popular?
However, seeing sentences like "Donglin is prosperous, Spring and Yu can find a home" that were widely spread on the Internet, Song Yunsheng frowned deeply.
Zhou Donglin and Li Qiyu. Their names were hidden in this sentence.
This sentence made him feel a bit like he was being cuckolded.
