Chapter 443: 429 didn’t dare to move, really didn’t dare to move

"Well, for today, I’ve had the steward prepare two hundred thousand in modest profits, along with some gifts, and I’ve also arranged first-class tickets for your return journey," said Mr. Du warmly. "If you wish to stay at the Du Family home a few more days, I could have my son Manchang come back and take you both around the neighboring areas for a good time before you return."

If he hadn’t known about the situation, Song Hui would have been ecstatic about Mr. Du’s arrangements!

Two hundred thousand!

Plus a whole bunch of gifts, wouldn’t bringing those back make their faces glow with pride?!

But where would he dare to now?!

Two hundred thousand, was that even money?! It was a sharp knife hanging over his neck, glittering in the light!

And what about having his son take him and his wife around the neighboring areas? Wouldn’t that just let everyone know that he had a good relationship with the Du Family?!

Wouldn’t the rumors about them raising a child for the Du Family be confirmed as if nailed down with a plank?!

This scheming... it was too terrifying! Truly too terrifying!

Song Qinglong was ruthless; he had laid a trap seven years ago to take their lives! The Du Family was no better, fully aware of the truth yet still choosing to continue the charade, insisting on dragging them into this mess to protect their biological granddaughter, Song Xiaoxiao...

Song Xiaoyu was already superfluous!

Superfluous in their family!

And she ended up being just as superfluous in the Du Family!

Now, she was not just a superfluous existence; she was a live bomb that could explode any time, endangering their lives...

Tian Xiaoe tugged at Song Hui’s sleeve, hesitating, "Hubby, Xiaoyu... Shall we still take her back? Xiao Hua needs a bone marrow match..."

Her voice wasn’t too loud or too soft, but Steward Du heard every word, and without thinking, he replied, "Wasn’t the match unsuccessful?"

"What?" Mr. Du looked curiously at Steward Du.

Steward Du hesitated about whether to speak up.

Old Master Du frowned and ordered, "Speak up if you have something to say."

Steward Du thought for a moment, "I heard Second Miss mention that Mr. Song’s elder daughter has leukemia and needed a bone marrow transplant. Recently they took Xiaoyu for a match test, and the outcome... the call between Second Miss and the doctor, I may have misheard..."

Old Master Du understood and feigned inattention, "That’s Mr. Song’s family affair, you better not gossip."

"Yes!"

The master and servant, with their responses, conspicuousy conveyed one message— the compatibility match between Song Xiaoyu and Song Xiaohua was not successful at all!

But that’s not right—didn’t Doctor Mao say to wait for Xiaoyu to be discharged and her health to recover before doing the compatibility test?

How did they already know the outcome ahead of time?!

Could they have been deceiving them all along...?

Seeing Old Master Du leisurely sipping tea again, Song Hui’s heart sank completely...

For such wealthy people like them, Song Xiaoyu meant nothing to them; why would they lie to him for no reason?!

It must be that Du Mansheng had already known the outcome back in the hospital. With her wealth and power, if the doctor wouldn’t tell him, they would certainly tell her...

This was a massive blow to Song Hui.

The issues with Azure Dragon had already left him at his wits’ end, and now even the compatibility match failed?

What was the point of keeping Song Xiaoyu in his home then?!

Eating for free and also a ticking time bomb?!

Song Hui struggled witih the decision for two minutes before he sighed, "Mr. Du, thank you for inviting Xiaoe and me to visit your home, as for that two hundred thousand and the gifts... let’s just forget about it..."

"How can we just forget about it? Previously, my daughter insisted on keeping Xiaoyu by her side without notifying the show crew, causing you all to panic and post a video looking for your daughter... She was so wilful that as soon as she knew the truth, she immediately dumped Xiaoyu on her brother and ran off elsewhere... This caused so much trouble for you, the two hundred thousand is compensation from our family."

"No, no, no!" Song Hui hadn’t even started to speak when Tian Xiaoe interrupted, "Thank you for your kindness, Old Master Du, but we really can’t accept this money, nor can we take the gifts! Please do not treat us with such formality."

She always listened to her husband on matters at home, but that didn’t mean she was without a brain of her own!

After hearing two heavy blows today, Tian Xiaoe completely understood—Song Qinglong was setting a trap, and the Du family also wanted to drag them down?!

Two hundred thousand?

Even two million wouldn’t be acceptable now!

If it were just her at home, perhaps she would have nodded in agreement to exchange her life for two million.

But Huahua and Yeye were still young, how could she rest assured?!

After Tian Xiaoe refused, she continued, "Old Master Du, we shouldn’t trouble you with this matter, but I really have no other choice! We’re poor and couldn’t afford to raise three children to begin with, and now that Huahua has been sick up to this point, it’s not just Song Qinglong’s money we can’t take; we’ve even borrowed from all our relatives...

Now with Xiaoyu... we originally thought she was your child, with trivial family squabbles... with some conflicts, we would first take care of the child, at least knowing who her biological parents are...

But it turned out Xiaoyu wasn’t even known to have been brought over by Song Qinglong, do her real parents not miss her or look for her? Could you... trouble yourselves to put out a notice, to help find Xiaoyu’s real parents? We are insignificant and don’t know many people, but if you issue a notice, you could definitely help find them! The child is suffering too much with us, and we also want her to find happiness as soon as possible."

Father Du almost laughed when he heard her "heartfelt" speech.

Song Hui unexpectedly glanced at his wife, not expecting her to be so clever at a critical moment—knowing that the Du family wanted to shift the blame onto them, she aimed to toss it right back!

Wasn’t Xiaoyu said to be Song Qinglong’s biological daughter?

Didn’t they want to cause trouble for their family?

Then let the Du family issue a notice to find Xiaoyu’s biological parents. Even if Song Qinglong’s enemies think this is a joint act put up by the Du family and his family, at least pulling one down with them is something!

Moreover, as long as the Du family agreed, he would have a reason to leave Xiaoyu at the Du home!

Or even send Xiaoyu to the orphanage?!

Such a ticking time bomb, the farther away you throw it, the better!

Father Du pretended to ponder and tactfully refused, "A notice? The Du family’s influence in this area is too limited, I’m afraid we can’t help the two of you with that."

Of course, if the Du family were to really issue such a notice, how would they smoothly acknowledge Xiaoyu’s identity in the future?

His tactful refusal appeared to Song Hui and his wife as a sign of guilt.

Song Hui silently cursed the man before him in his heart—seeming to be the head of the family, managing strategies behind the scenes, but in reality, just a petty schemer.

Tian Xiaoe spoke bluntly, "Old Master Du, please help us, if not by issuing a notice... then just send Xiaoyu to the orphanage first, and wait for her real parents to come looking for her! If we take her back, her parents might never find her in a lifetime!"

"Why is that?" Father Du was curious.

Tian Xiaoe sighed, "This child has never been registered in our household!"

"Ah?" Not only Father Du, but even Steward Du was shocked.

Song Hui, seeing this, also told the truth, "Back then, right after the reforms, registering for household required a birth certificate, and the hospital only issued us a death certificate for that other child; without a birth certificate, Xiaoyu couldn’t be added to our household..."

In fact, it would have been possible back then.

But Song Hui thought, it’s just an illegitimate child, a seed abandoned by someone, why bother spending money to register it? So they simply didn’t do it.
