Xue Tao prepared a gift for Song Yunxuan, and that night he was not with Song Yunying.
He went out on a spree with the excuse of busyness, just like a dog ate droppings.
Song Yunying was inured to it and did not care about it at all.
Xue Tao had spent a whole night drinking and heeling around, but he still remembered their plan to visit Song Yunxuan the next morning when he went back home.
Moreover, he asked Song Yunying to start in the afternoon exactly on time.
Song Yunying knew that he held some filthy little tricks. It was just that she did not say it out.
Song Yunying nursed the baby before she went out with Xue Tao.
Xue Tao kept talking about Song Yunxuan all the way. Meanwhile, he asked Song Yunying, âCan I meet Yunxuan when we arrive?â
He heard that Song Yunxuan was seriously ill.
Generally, only girls and Song Yunxuanâs sister were allowed to meet her in the room. He was afraid of making a trip in vain because he might not be able to see Song Yunxuan at all.
Hearing what Xue Tao asked, Song Yunying could not help frowning, saying, âYunxuanâs very sick. Sheâs not in the mood to meet a male.â
âOh, come on, male?â Xue Tao said in displeasure, âIâm not some kind of indecent bad guy, okay? Iâm her brother-in-law. Iâm entitled to visit her, right?â
âWeâll talk about it later,â Song Yunying said. She wanted to stop Xue Tao from meeting Song Yunxuan.
But she could tell that Xue Tao would never be satisfied if he could not see Song Yunxuan with his own eyes.
Song Yunying couldnât be bothered to answer Xue Taoâs question.
But Xue Tao kept asking her all the way.
Song Yunying was fed up with his endless chatter, so she took a snap on the car with an excuse.
Seeing that Song Yunying was about to sleep, Xue Tao frowned, trying to wake her up and ask her again.
But when he just stretched out his hand to touch her shoulder,
A phone call came in.
Xue Tao took a look at his phone and found that it was Shao Tianze.
He frowned and picked up the phone.
From the other side came the voice of Shao Tianze, âI heard that youâre gonna come to Song Yunxuan today.â
âYep,â Xue Tao answered when he caught a glimpse of Song Yunying secretly.
Song Yunying ignored the phone call as she was dozing. With her eyes closed, she did not see the funny look on Xue Taoâs face.
If she opened her eyes and took a look at Xue Taoâs expression, she would see how scared Xue Tao was to let her know this call.
But lucky for him, Song Yunying did not open her eyes.
Hearing Xue Taoâs vague responses, Shao Tianze asked, âIs there anyone with you?â
âYunying and I are on our way. I think weâll soon arrive at the Song Family.â
Hearing that, Shao Tianze knew it was not a good time to talk about it in detail. âItâs not a good time. Your wife may hear what we say. Find me in my villa in the Baixiang Garden when youâre free,â Shao Tianze said.
âOK,â Xue Tao said.
Shao Tianze hung up the phone.
Xue Tao hung up the phone and began to hum a tune, seeming to be much happier than before.
Song Yunying was annoyed by the noise. She opened her eyes in displeasure, saying, âCould you be quiet?â
âWhy canât I sing? Iâm so bored in the car.â
Xue Tao did not think he did anything wrong.
Song Yunying could not help frowning and said, âYunxuan is seriously ill, and you are singing on our way to visit her. What the hell are you thinking about?â
Xue Taoâs face took on an embarrassed expression at Song Yunyingâs question.
He was planning to take over Shao Tianze and Song Yunxuanâs property.
But it seemed meaningless to be so happy as he did not know how sick Song Yunxuan was or what she looked like now.
Hearing Song Yunyingâs words, Xue Tao stopped humming.
But what he said was quite offending, âI thought itâs a good thing to have you and your sister meet each other again. Thatâs all.â
âWe can meet anytime if we want. We donât need you to be happy for us, okay?â Noticing the ominous meaning in Xue Taoâs words, Song Yunying scolded him, frowning.
Xue Tao sneered, saying, âWell, I hope you can. But I doubt that Song Yunxuan may die someday without notice, considering her health condition.â
Song Yunying was unhappy at his words. She said immediately, âRetract your words and stop cursing my sister! She wonât die even after you die.â
Song Yunxuan was safe and sound. Only a fool like Xue Tao would think that Song Yunxuan was going to kick the bucket.
Xue Tao would not have said that if he had seen Song Yunxuanâs appearance.
But she could not tell Xue Tao about it directly.
So no matter whatever he thought or how happy he was, just let it be.
He would know it when Song Yunxuan wanted him to.
Song Yunying did not talk much to Xue Tao all the way and in the Song Family.
The housekeeper told Song Yunxuan immediately after Song Yunying and Xue Tao arrived at the villa.
Xue Tao handed all the gifts to servants and turned to Song Yunying, asking, âCould your sister get downstairs?â
âHow could she get downstairs? She even canât get out of bed.â Song Yunying knew that Song Yunxuan would be unwilling to see Xue Tao at all, so she told him in advance.
Hearing that, Xue Tao was not very disappointed. He pondered and said, âWell, I can see Yunxuan upstairs.â
It was strange that Xue Tao should be so active. âYunxuanâs very sick, so donât create more trouble for them,â Song Yunying said when she caught Xue Tao by the arm, frowning.
âYou call it making trouble? I want to see her because Iâm concerned about her illness! Youâre her older sister. Donât you care about her?â
âOf course, I care about her,â Song Yunying frowned, saying, âBut I also know sheâs too ill to see you. Maybe she doesnât want to be bothered.â
âHow could you know that?â Xue Tao retorted.
But when he just said that,
He heard the voice of Mei Qi from upstairs. âOf course, she knows, and sheâs right. Manager Song doesnât want to be disturbed,â said Mei Qi.
Xue Tao frowned, looking up at the upper floor.
He saw Mei Qi descending the steps and walking towards them.
âDo you know me, Mr. Xue?â
Hearing the question, Xue Tao wore a sour look. He knew Mei Qi, of course.
When Song Yunxuan dealt with him, Mei Qi was always there to help her.
Xue Tao looked at Mei Qi, answering, âSure.â
âIf you know me, you should know that Iâm just the messenger of Manager Song, right?â
Mei Qi asked Xue Tao smilingly.
Xue Tao said impatiently, âFine. I get it. I wonât meet her.â
âGood,â Mei Qi nodded and said. Obviously, he was satisfied with Xue Taoâs answer.
After that, Mei Qi said to the servant, âEntertain them well.â
The servant listened to Mei Qiâs order and went to prepare fruits and tea for their guests.
Mei Qi had no intention to stay with Xue Tao or Song Yunying. Instead, he was about to leave after he delivered Song Yunxuanâs words.
After Mei Qi left, Xue Tao asked Song Yunying, âWeâre gonna stay here till we leave, arenât we?â
âWhat do you want, then?â Song Yunying asked him, frowning.
âTo meet your sister, of course!â said Xue Tao.
He had promised Shao Tianze that he would see Song Yunxuan with his own eyes.
If he failed to meet Song Yunxuan, what could he tell Shao Tianze after they went back?
Xue Tao felt quite anxious.
Song Yunying glanced at him and then ignored him.
Mei Qi was done with Xue Tao and Song Yunying, and he went upstairs to tell Song Yunxuan everything that had happened.
Song Yunxuan was reading on the sofa when she heard Mei Qi opened the door. âHowâs everything going?â Song Yunxuan asked without looking up.
âI can see that Xue Taoâs up to something. He kept asking to see you.â
âI will meet him, but not now. I donât know when Zang Linger will give me the intel.â
Song Yunxuan had asked Zang Linger to help her look for a patient. She knew how capable Zang Linger was.
Perhaps she would find one soon.
But Mei Qi was worried, somehow. He asked, âWill she make it?â
âI know she will. Besides, itâs just a cinch.â
When she just said that,
On the table close by, the phone rang.
Song Yunxuan took a glance at her phone, finding that it was Zang Linger. She smiled, saying, âSpeak of the devil.â
âIs it Miss Zang?â
âYes,â Song Yunxuan nodded and said to Mei Qi, âMaybe you should talk to Xue Tao for a while, or heâll feel I ignore him.â
Hearing that, Mei Qi nodded, saying, âIâm going downstairs.â
âOK,â Song Yunxuan said. She watched Mei Qi went out of the room and then picked up the phone.
Zang Linger began, âI found that person.â
âThank you.â
Zang Linger said proudly, âI had a hard time finding her. Now you owe me a dinner.â
âSure,â Song Yunxuan smiled, saying, âAfter you come back.â
âInvite the chef that cooked for me last time. I like the dish he made.â
Song Yunxuan smiled, saying, âOkay, itâs up to you.â
Song Yunxuanâs words amused Zang Linger very much. âI only did you a favor, and you become such a soft touch!â
âWell, itâs my pleasure.â
Zang Linger helped her a lot, so it was not too much to ask for a reward, not to mention it was just a dinner.
Song Yunxuan understood it.
âIâll have my men send that woman to you. Donât close the back door.â
âOK. Iâll tell my servant.â
Song Yunxuan said.
Hearing that, Zang Linger paused a moment, saying hesitantly, âActually, I discovered another thing today.â
âGo ahead.â
âShao Tianze gathered a group of people unto him. I think theyâre going to make a move.â
Song Yunxuan frowned instantly at Zang Lingerâs words. âMake a move?â she asked.
âYep. People he got were gangsters in Harbor City.â
Hearing that, Song Yunxuan smiled, saying, âThen he must be up to something, I suppose.â
