Chapter 446: 432 A Conversation Full of Misunderstandings (2)

Song Xiaoyu shook her head, "I don’t know, it’s quite serious. I heard it’s related to her dad..."

Related to Song Qinglong!

Song Hui’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be...

"Xiaoyu, did you tell Dad how long Xiaoxiao has been sick? Was it a week ago?"

A week ago was the exact time the officials announced the capture of Song Qinglong.

Seeing Song Xiaoyu nodded her head, clueless, the couple’s hearts tightened once again.

Could it be true?!

After Song Qinglong was taken in, his biological daughter immediately faced retribution. Could it be that his capture involved a substantial web, and someone had already begun to lay in wait?!

Song Hui felt chills up his spine.

What a cunning and shrewd Du Family!

They didn’t invite them earlier, nor later, but right after their granddaughter’s mishap, they immediately invited them to be guests at the Du Family’s home.

If they hadn’t seen the truth, they probably would have taken the two hundred thousand and a big bag of gifts back home today, and within a few days, they would have been silenced by those people!

The delicately dressed Song Xiaoyu in front of them, where is she the God of Wealth? She’s clearly a harbinger of death!

Tian Xiaoe wished she could just leave her at the Du Family and go back on her own right away.

But!

Leaving the child at the Du Family, they would definitely find a way to get in touch with themselves again...

What should I do?

How can I perfectly rid myself of this hot potato?!

Song Xiaoyu looked at them strangely, "Mom, Dad, do you know why Sister Xiaoxiao got hurt?"

Tian Xiaoe, "I don’t know!"

Song Hui, "I know!"

The couple glanced at each other, then changed their statement.

Tian Xiaoe, "I know!"

Song Hui, "I don’t know!"

Song Xiaoyu, "???" Do you know or not?!

Song Hui cleared his throat awkwardly, "How would we know about the Du Family’s affairs?"

They were all making educated guesses, and even if they knew, they couldn’t say so!

What he blurted out was just a slip of the tongue. He had to cover it up quickly.

Song Xiaoyu sighed. Her expression was a mix of helplessness and seriousness, "Let’s go back earlier..."

She clutched at her sleeves.

This beautiful little dress, it was Mother Du who bought it for her, her favorite one...

Going back, should she change back into her old clothes and return this one to Mother Du?

During her time at the Du Family, she felt warmth and affection she had never known before. Song Xiaoyu didn’t resent them for mistaking her identity; it was just her own bad luck, unable to hold onto such long-term happiness.

Tian Xiaoe shook her head, "It’s rare for us to come to the city. This afternoon, Mom will take you to the amusement park for a round. Once we go back, it might be your last chance to come here!"

A sinister smile curved at the corner of her mouth. She thought of a perfect way to dispose of Song Xiaoyu.

The unsuspecting girl looked up, hesitant to speak.

Mother Du had already taken her to the amusement park once or twice, and they had made plans that after Sister Xiaoxiao got better, they would go to the amusement park together...

Now it seems that won’t happen...

And for her parents, this was the first time they had taken the initiative to suggest taking her to the amusement park.

Song Xiaoyu nodded her head slowly.

This might be her last tender memory of City A...

From today on, she would no longer be related to the Du Family and would continue to return to the small mountain village, to be the naïve and easily bullied Song Xiaoyu...

Not long after, the "family of three" came out of the room cheerfully.

Steward Du knew they were going to the amusement park and immediately arranged a car to take them there.

Once they had left, Father Du became impatient and walked from the study to the living room, pacing back and forth, sighing heavily.

The room was as silent as the gaze of a colossal abyssal beast, eerily quiet to the point of suffocation.

At six o’clock in the evening.

The Du Family car came back, and Father Du hurriedly ran out to greet it.

When the car door opened, Du Manchang got out, holding the tearful Song Xiaoyu in his arms.

"Oh, my dear Xiaoyu, you’ve suffered," Father Du said quickly, reaching out to take her, "I’m sorry, your grandfather kept you in the dark and set up a situation that troubled you."

"Grandfather..." On the way back, Song Xiaoyu had already been told the whole story by her uncle and now she was crying uncontrollably.

...

"You’re saying Xiaoyu has come back?" Yan Yueqing was a bit incredulous, "And she was abandoned by Song Hui and his wife?"

Butler Zhong nodded: "Yes, it happened two days ago. Old Mr. Du said they spent two days with Xiaoyu to help her get over her emotional struggles before they rushed to Magic Capital to see you. They should be here in about an hour’s drive."

Yan Yueqing had a meeting this morning, and Butler Zhong took the call from the Du Family for her.

Father Du had spoken about the situation in advance, and Butler Zhong understood and summarized the key points of the matter.

After listening, Yan Yueqing smiled faintly, "The old ginger is still spicier. Uncle Du’s idea is very good! It completely eradicates the root and cuts off any hopes they had of coming back for more. Quite good indeed."

Butler Zhong said, "Old Mr. Du probably felt that dragging the matter out and dealing with it gradually could ease Xiaoyu’s psychological burden. But doing so would also make it hard to really settle things completely. It coincided with the incident involving Song Qinglong, which allowed Song Hui and his wife to back off on their own. It was the best outcome."

"Hmm," Yan Yueqing nodded, "In fact, before Song Qinglong went to Country T, I had considered whether I should take the opportunity of his arrest to deal with the affair of Song Hui and his wife too. Everyone knows how to divert trouble elsewhere, and they are so anxious to save their own skins that they would surely fall for it."

Later I reconsidered that it was someone else’s family affair, and I shouldn’t get too involved... But I didn’t expect Uncle Du to make up his mind, taking advantage of Sister Mansheng’s absence, and swiftly resolve the matter."

Butler Zhong lifted her lashes: "Do you think, Miss, that Old Mr. Du did this without Second Miss Du’s knowledge?"

"Certainly," Yan Yueqing confidently analyzed, "If Xiaoxiao had been involved, Uncle Du might have discussed it with Sister Mansheng; but with Xiaoyu, it’s different. Sister Mansheng already felt too indebted to her, and wouldn’t have agreed to use such a desperate measure to sever ties with the Song Family."

There were many ways to sever ties with the Song Family.

But none were as clean and decisive as the one chosen by Father Du, forever preventing any future troubles!

Yan Yueqing suddenly sighed: "Sister Zhong, I feel... sometimes it’s better to be a little ruthless. Always being too considerate, wanting everything, only to fall into one’s own traps in the end, losing more than one gains."

To put it bluntly, the decision made by Father Du was one she had also considered, but in the end, seeing Du Mansheng’s haggard face, she had given up...

Unexpectedly, Father Du still chose the most decisive and ruthless approach.

This ruthlessness was not just the cold rejection of Song Hui and his wife towards Song Xiaoyu, but also completely cut off Xiaoyu’s last shred of affection for her foster parents.

From then on... Song Xiaoyu would only be a blood granddaughter of the Du Family.

Butler Zhong understood her meaning: "Miss, you were previously troubled by Xiaoyu’s issues, which was also a manifestation of kindness, not willing to let a child suffer such a big change at a young age. But... I agree with what you just said, sometimes, it’s better to be a little ruthless! Especially when dealing with enemies, no matter who they are, once they stand against you, you need to be cautious and not let emotions get in the way."

The implications behind Butler Zhong’s words were profound.

As a steward personally selected by Teacher Jiang, Zhong Xuan was naturally also a distinguished talent cultivated by the Jiang Family.

Yan Yueqing understood her meaning.

Not to mention that she no longer had any memories regarding Jiang Ke, even if she did, the memory of how she tried to harm her with a bomb was painfully clear to Yan Yueqing!

Being able to come back was a gift from heaven, but it was also thanks to the great sacrifice made by Jun Lii across two lifetimes.

Among them, there were even sacrifices that she still didn’t know about—what exactly had her sweetheart done?

Only with their love and faith could she have come back.

Jiang Ke...

She took a deep breath, very resolute: "Don’t worry, Sister Zhong, I won’t let emotions get in the way."

No matter if it was for herself, for her two children, or for... Ah Lii...
