Chapter 199: Chapter 199 Isn’t It Just Creating an Accident?_1

Xia Bowen said in a gentle voice, "I’m not angry with you, it’s just that it’s not quite appropriate for you to continue staying here.

You are Shangguan Heng’s daughter, and he’s having a tough time now. Maybe you can help him change the situation if you go back, and moreover, I can’t guarantee your safety here anymore."

Shangguan Wan blurted out, "My dad left several people here, and they’re all very capable. My aunt knows too, they can protect me, just let me stay.

Otherwise, I can move out and live on my own. Uncle, please don’t send me back, okay?"

Xia Bowen’s eyes narrowed.

Shangguan Heng still had people here?

Who?

Were they here to monitor him or what?

His sharp gaze turned to Xia Ming, who also widened his eyes and silently shook his head at his father.

Indicating he didn’t know either.

Xia Bowen thought for a moment and said, "Then stay for now."

Shangguan Wan immediately stood up, excitedly said to Xia Bowen, "Thank you, uncle. Just tell me if there is anything you need me to do."

"You don’t need to do anything, just stay at home."

Afterwards, Xia Bowen gave Xia Ming a meaningful look.

Xia Ming told Shangguan Wan to go back and rest, reassuring her that this matter was not related to her, that she was innocent and he wouldn’t take his anger out on her, and to feel at ease staying here.

After all, she was his cousin.

Standing outside, Xia Bowen asked Xia Ming, "Do you really not know?"

Xia Ming shook his head, "I really don’t know."

Then he hesitated for a moment and said, "Even if people were left here, how would that matter? This place is not like Xiangjiang, it’s not so easy to do anything here."

Meanwhile, in the sanatorium ward, Shangguan Yunqi sinisterly said to a short middle-aged man, "Old Qi, I’ve given you all the materials. You know what to do, right?"

Old Qi said, "I know, just to create an accident, right? That’s my specialty."

For a seventeen-year-old girl, creating a little accident is really simple.

"Song Yunuan is too cunning. Don’t underestimate her, she’s very sharp with words."

Old Qi said, "I’m not going to engage in a war of words with her. What use is her eloquence to me?"

Shangguan Yunqi felt relieved, "If you pull this off, I’ll get your son’s guaranteed entry form, and your daughter’s overseas study arrangements, my brother will take care of it too."

Old Qi nodded, "Then thank you, Miss Second."

Shangguan Yunqi waved her hand, "What era are we in, stop calling me Miss Second, go on, be careful."

Old Qi left.

Shangguan Yunqi’s lips curled up slightly, revealing a sinister smile.

Each and every one of you, just wait for me.

Xia Xindong, you little bastard, you dare to play tricks on me. I can’t sell you when you grow up, but you have a niece, and a nephew too.

It’s said that Song Mingsheng is very clever.

Let’s send him over to my brother too.

I’ll not let you off easily!

And Song Yunuan, that little wretch, this time I’ll definitely send you deep into the forest. Of what use is your sharp tongue?

A chain will lock you in the cellar, and even in death, you won’t be able to leave.

Just then, the room door was pushed open.

It was Xia Bowen who came in.

Seeing it was Xia Bowen, Shangguan Yunqi’s expression turned cold again.

Xia Bowen stood there and sighed helplessly.

However, he still asked Shangguan Yunqi, "Do you know your brother left people here?"

Shangguan Yunqi was startled internally, but angrily said, "What do you mean by that? I don’t understand at all!"

Xia Bowen said word by word, "You’ve already made many mistakes, you can’t keep making them."

"Really, Shangguan Yunqi, if you continue to be so obstinate, not even the greatest immortal could save you."

Shangguan Yunqi scoffed indifferently.

After glancing at the hospital room, Xia Bowen asked, "Where did Liying and Xia Zhi go?"

Shangguan Yunqi let out a scornful laugh, "I’m a sick person, barely living from today to tomorrow, how should I know?"

"Do you really not know?"

"They’re not little kids anymore. Can they even tell me where they’re going?"

Xia Bowen took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions.

But inside, that hint of resentment was growing.

He had planned to have a proper conversation with her, but Shangguan Yunqi was not cooperating at all.

He had done so much for her in his lifetime, but what had she done for him?

He’s a man, and it was his role to provide for the family, to be the pillar of his wife and children.

That was his responsibility.

But why couldn’t Shangguan understand his difficulties?

To put herself in his shoes and think for a moment, not to put him in an awkward position.

If there was any hint of regret, a willingness to cooperate, wouldn’t the situation be less passive?

Xia Bowen, seeing Shangguan Yunqi’s attitude towards him, lost his patience too, chiefly because he had too many things on his plate.

He was also a member of a temporary work team.

And he had to cooperate with the investigation.

Nobody knew how awkward he felt when facing the interrogators.

His most esteemed son, Xia Ming, didn’t understand him, and the other children wouldn’t even speak to him when they saw him.

Shangguan Yunqi remained the same, if not more aggressive.

A spark of anger began to flame in Xia Bowen’s heart.

Hadn’t he labored all his life just for them?

His other three children hadn’t enjoyed any benefits from him; they hadn’t benefited but instead suffered because of him.

But what was the result?

Not one of them considered his perspective.

Even a tiger doesn’t eat its own cubs.

What’s going on?

Do they really want to drive him, Xia Bowen, to eliminate Xia Xindong and the others?

Where do they think they are standing?

Xia Bowen realized that Shangguan Yunqi had no intention of communicating with him at all.

He turned and left the room.

Shangguan Yunqi, seeing that Xia Bowen didn’t even try to coax her, became even more furious, grinding her teeth with venomous resentment, "Damned Xia Bowen, do you value Xia Xindong now just because he’s become useful? Do you see that little bitch Song Yunuan has got to know a few people? Big deal! You wait, all of you wait and see how I deal with you!"

-----------------

Song Yunuan and Song Liang discussed what goods to purchase for their trip to the provincial city.

Song Liang had also ordered a batch of fabric from the county’s textile factory, with a majority being linen.

Song Yunuan thought it was time to expand.

Song Liang didn’t know how to expand, but Song Yunuan said, "Recruit workers, those who can make clothes, then I’ll go to the county and see if I can find some old sewing machines. The western wing room is big enough; we should be able to get started."

Song Liang was startled, "Recruit? Can it be done?"

Song Yunuan, "Why not? We’ll be under Erdao River, considered a large collective enterprise. The workers’ compensation will be the same as in the city, plus they can work right at their doorstep. Even Zhou Xiaohua is willing to come."

Song Liang’s heart pounded with the suddenness, "But... shouldn’t we discuss this with Chu Zizhou?"

Song Yunuan, "Yeah, you go talk to him. I need to make a trip to the county. I just finished a children’s fairy tale, and I’ll mail it to the publishing house."
