Chapter 152: Song Mo's Death in the Previous Life: Cause and Effect

Through An Yinuo's account, Lin Weiwei gradually came to know everything about the previous life.

The opening of the previous life was much the same as this one.

It was also at Chen Xi's instigation that An Yinuo stood up for him, and thus she formed a grudge with Song Mo.

In the period that followed, Chen Xi and Song Mo were utterly incompatible.

An Yinuo always stood on Chen Xi's side.

Later, Lin Weiwei was also pulled into Chen Xi's camp and began to find Song Mo an eyesore.

Not only them—even Song Mo's elder sister Song Wanrou was deceived by Chen Xi; she naively believed there was a misunderstanding between Song Mo and Chen Xi.

And because behind Chen Xi stood the An Family and the Lin Family, Song Wanrou wanted all the more for Chen Xi and Song Mo to bury the hatchet, so even though she knew Chen Xi and Song Mo were at odds—

Despite Song Mo's opposition, she still wanted Chen Xi to make peace with Song Mo.

What Song Wanrou failed to consider was that when Song Mo saw her smiling apologetically at Chen Xi, even humbling herself to curry favor, the pressure in Song Mo's heart suddenly swelled.

Song Mo took an unorthodox path; he knew it could not go on like this.

So he devoted himself fully to expanding the Song Family.

He not only put up all of the Song Family's liquid capital.

He also took out loans of over ten billion from the bank to invest in new industries, and luckily he succeeded.

Later, Song Mo even joined forces with Leng Wanqiu.

In a very short time, Song Mo gradually gained the strength to contend with the An Family and the Lin Family.

Precisely because of this, Chen Xi went from his original arrogance to feeling somewhat uneasy later on.

He began to subtly hint to An Yinuo and Lin Weiwei, asking them to help him and to step up the mobilization of the An Family's and Lin Family's resources to suppress Song Mo.

After discovering that Leng Wanqiu actually looked quite pretty once she had slimmed down, he even conceived a sinister idea: to turn Leng Wanqiu against Song Mo.

Chen Xi succeeded.

Thus, Song Mo faced pressure the likes of which he had never known.

In the business arena, he alone had to face the suppression of three major families, as well as the short-selling of the Leng Group from Kyoto, and the pressure exerted by the family resources of several other women.

Song Mo could barely move a step; under the commercial war, the vast funds he had accumulated were simply not enough, and were quickly exhausted.

With no other choice, Song Mo could only bring in foreign capital.

To Chen Xi's surprise, Song Mo actually secured backing from the Allen Family of France, the Dushima Family of Yinghuaguo, and a female tycoon from Piaoliang Guo.

Therefore, even though domestically Song Mo was being blocked at every layer.

Chen Xi and the others still could do nothing about him.

And under the immense pressure, the companies under Song Mo erupted with astonishing potential, their market value soaring continuously, and Chen Xi himself began to feel fear.

Song Mo had talent and looks—completely unlike Chen Xi, who only knew how to play the victim and rely on the shelter of the girls who liked him.

Burning with rage, whenever Chen Xi appeared, he would suppress him fiercely.

Resentment also festered in Chen Xi's heart.

The conflict between the two escalated further.

Or rather, from the very beginning their conflict had been to the death; it was only later that it gradually turned white-hot.

Chen Xi was utterly underhanded.

Because Song Wanrou kept wanting him to ease relations with Song Mo, he agreed to her face, and often invited Song Wanrou over, pretending to discuss in detail the matter of resolving the conflict with Song Mo.

At the same time, he kept needling Song Mo, frequently fabricating things out of thin air, hinting to Song Mo that his elder sister had already taken his side.

After turning Leng Wanqiu against Song Mo, Chen Xi grew even more arrogant and domineering; he kept bringing it up in front of Song Mo, even saying outright that he thanked Song Mo for helping Leng Wanqiu lose weight—at least now Leng Wanqiu wasn't as disgusting as before.

Ever since Leng Wanqiu was turned against him, Song Mo had gone looking for her, but each time he couldn't find her, and in the end Song Mo gave up searching for Leng Wanqiu.

He knew the other party would not see him.

Because of the guilt in her heart, Leng Wanqiu simply had no face to see him.

During that period, the viciousness in Song Mo's heart grew heavier and heavier.

Therefore, his expansion on the commercial map was also wildly frenzied—he even simply laid his cards on the table outright.

He was going to wage war against all the families.

The An Family, the Lin Family, the Leng Family…

He seized the markets of the various major families; with the abundant foreign capital invested, Song Mo had absolutely no fear on the capital chain.

Song Mo's suicidal, reckless behavior offended heaven knew how many people.

It wasn't only Chen Xi who was afraid.

Even An Yinuo began to panic. Although she disliked Song Mo, it had never reached the level of enemies—yet given the situation before her, she and Song Mo were already in an enemy relationship.

Things seemed already beyond salvation.

It is worth mentioning that,

In the previous life, although An Yinuo and Lin Weiwei liked Chen Xi,

Chen Xi had never confessed to a single one of them.

Chen Xi kept a certain distance from all the girls, and hidden within this was an earth-shattering secret.

……

Song Mo was truly about to succeed.

He was like a starving wolf; in the business arena, his cold, greedy gaze swept over every enemy, and even though Chen Xi had rallied numerous families,

He still could not curb Song Mo's rise.

Chen Xi was fierce in appearance but hollow within.

On the surface he still opposed Song Mo at every turn.

But Song Mo had already lost interest in arguing with him.

Every time Chen Xi provoked him, Song Mo said nothing.

He merely watched him coldly.

His gaze was like that fixed upon a dead man.

Chen Xi felt an inexplicable chill in his heart, and the vicious words on his lips unconsciously became "polite," and upon noticing his own change, he felt ashamed.

Wasn't this just another way of showing weakness to Song Mo?

But he, Chen Xi, was the system's possessor!

Why couldn't he get the better of Song Mo?

Chen Xi hardened his heart.

He swore he would make Song Mo pay the price.

Then, Chen Xi got to know a woman.

This woman was called Liu Meiyun.

Liu Meiyun's first impression on people was that of a very charming young matron, and moreover very mysterious, extremely generous in her spending, with grand airs.

When they met at the banquet, everyone was curious about her identity.

Chen Xi began to scheme.

If the other party were a man, there was nothing he could do.

But if the other party were a woman, for him it would be all too easy.

Because Chen Xi's system was called the "Faithful-to-Death Romance System."

This system could help Chen Xi rapidly raise the favor of the opposite sex.

Every member of the opposite sex who saw Chen Xi would instantly take a great liking to him.

The effect was nearly the same as hypnosis.

Impossible to guard against.

But because the system's underlying code was "faithful-to-death,"

as long as Chen Xi confirmed a romantic relationship — even if he performed a romantic act with some woman such as kissing — the system would automatically judge that Chen Xi had found his true love.

Then,

the system would bind that woman, and that woman's favor toward Chen Xi would reach one hundred percent.

However, the favor raised by the system in other women toward Chen Xi would instantly drop back down.

What Chen Xi could not accept was precisely this point.
