âFind her. She must be found at all costs! Once sheâs found, bring her to me immediately. Remember this, though: I want her back safe and sound. Should anything happen to her and the baby, Iâll hold you guys responsible!â
âUnderstood!â The person, on the other end, turned somewhat hesitant as he probed, âSir... what shall we do if that woman refuses to leave with us?â
âThen, keep an eye on her, and Iâll go fetch her myself.â
âYes, sir. Weâll do just that.â
The person then ended the call in trepidation.
The young man tossed his phone onto the desk while looking solemn.
She will ultimately return to my side!
...
The Songs were currently anxiously trying to come up with a viable countermeasure.
Later that night, Jiang Qimeng brought the matter up to her husband to see if he had any solutions. She did not exactly think that he would take the matter to heart, but contrary to expectations, the man flew into a thunderous rage as he jumped up from the bed and asked in disbelief, âWhat! That bratâs got another woman carrying his child?â
âI couldnât believe it myself when I heard about it, but our daughter had credible people look into it, so this info canât be wrong,â replied the woman hurriedly, feeling somewhat agitated herself.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Fury had her husband clenching his fists; he could not believe how preposterous his future son-in-law could be. âThat chap is too much! What does he mean by that? Is he asking my daughter to live like a widow after their marriage?â
âThatâs too crude of a saying.â She grumbled.
âCrude? How so? Think about it yourself; our daughter has yet to marry into their family, yet heâs already thinking of getting himself a mistress! Even though thereâs such a rule within the Mu family, itâs a hidden rule that canât be exposed to the public. He hasnât even held the wedding with our daughter, yet he dared to knock up some woman and doesnât have the sense to abort it! Is he out to embarrass the Songs?â
Rather than his daughterâs feelings, Song Zhengguo was more concerned about the familyâs reputation, and that got his wife feeling conflicted.
âHow do you think we should deal with this matter? Enya wants to go reason with them and get Mu Linfeng to seek justice for her, but I told her thatâs too rash of a move. If we end up antagonizing that old, wily fox, her life in that family will only get tough in the future.â
âWhatâs there to fear? That chap is eagerly waiting for our support!â He paused, then added. âHeâs just gotten promoted, and without a strong foundation, he canât do anything at all. Even though Enyaâs expecting his child, given his character, he wouldâve never agreed to this marriage if not for him eyeing our familyâs prestige and background! Even then, he did it reluctantly. Once the wedding is over, weâll naturally give him the support he deserves, but heâs got some nerve stirring up this sh*t at this juncture, so weâre not the ones being unreasonable here!â
The womanâs lips moved in a bid to say something in response, but no words came out from her mouth ultimately. After a long silence, she carefully asked, âHow about we consult dad about this matter? Since the Songs and the Mus are coming together in a marriage of convenience, we can invite the elders in our family to come over and discuss things. Who knows? They may have some good suggestions.â
