Chapter 303: Chapter 303 Are You Surprised?

All of this actually happened in just tens of seconds.

Xia Bowen hadn’t reacted before Song Yunuan kicked open the door of the west wing room of his house.

Shangguan Wan, who was hiding in the room, let out a startled shriek as the door she was behind was knocked down on her.

Then Song Yunuan stepped forward, lifted the door with one hand, and yanked Shangguan Wan out, even kindly straightening her hair for her.

As Song Yunuan dragged her out, she turned to Zhong Shaoqing, who stood by and said, "Your relationship is really good, your fiancée is so happy to see you. She was so ecstatic she almost went mad..."

Zhong Shaoqing: ...

Song Yunuan, I don’t quite understand what you’re saying.

Afterward, Song Yunuan held Shangguan Wan’s hand with great affection and said, "This is the gift I’m giving you, are you surprised or not?"

Shangguan Wan was so frightened her face turned pale as paper; how could she possibly feel happy?

However, at this moment, Zhong Shaoqing suddenly burst into a silly chuckle, grabbed Shangguan Wan, his gaze unfocused yet fixated on her, and then, suddenly bulging his eyes, he said in a low, sinister voice, "Little Wan, I fell in love with you at first sight. I like only you. If you refuse to be my wife, I’ll kill not just the whole Zhong family; I’ll also murder you and your family."

Struggling fiercely, Shangguan Wan screamed out, "No, no, no, I won’t marry you, uncle save me, cousin save me..."

At that moment, Xia Bowen finally realized something was wrong with this young man.

But before he could do anything, Song Yunuan reached out, yanked Zhong Shaoqing toward her, and asked, "She just said she doesn’t want to marry you, did you hear that?"

Zhong Shaoqing’s eyes suddenly turned red.

Staring intently at Shangguan Wan, he said, "Say it again."

His tone was menacing, as if he would tear her apart right there if Shangguan Wan said she wouldn’t marry him.

Shangguan Wan cried out in terror.

Xia Bowen’s head ached, but for some reason, he couldn’t feel any anger towards Song Yunuan, a girl who clearly wouldn’t recognize him as her grandfather.

In resignation, he said, "Little Nuan, what on earth is going on?"

Song Yunuan blinked and said, "Old Master Xia, you don’t know?"

Xia Bowen felt a sinking sensation in his chest, "What should I know?"

"As you can see, this is the Second Young Master Zhong, and also Shangguan Wan’s fiancé, who pretended to be a sponsor and sneaked into the Xia summer camp with four bodyguards and two other people. Then Shangguan Heng called Shangguan Wan to tell her what to do. Didn’t she tell you?"

Xia Bowen’s face turned dark.

He quickly understood: no wonder Shangguan Wan suddenly told him that to ease the relationship, they could let Little Nuan go to the summer camp, but as it turned out, this Zhong Shaoqing was already prepared to go there. His intentions were crystal clear.

Fortunately, he had asked Little Nuan beforehand and hadn’t sent her to the camp without her consent.

If he had, he and Little Nuan would have truly been at irreconcilable odds.

He asked Shangguan Wan somberly, "Little Wan, are you telling me you knew about all this beforehand?"

Shangguan Wan clutched her head and shook it frantically, "I didn’t know, I didn’t know!"

"Knowing or not knowing isn’t important right now; now that the Second Young Master Zhong is here, aren’t you going to call your dad?"

Song Yunuan reminded her leisurely.

At this time, Xia Zhi and Xia Liying were watching the scene unfold with wide eyes and mouths agape; there weren’t many people in the courtyard of the Xia family, and it was quiet enough to hear a pin drop.

The next moment, Zhong Shaoqing spoke again, "Shangguan Wan, do you truly not agree to marry me?"

Shangguan Wan looked at him in terror, his eyes a fiery red, his face distorted. She frantically shook her head, wanting to run out onto the street, but her hand was held by Song Yunuan, and she couldn’t move at all.

Seeing Shangguan Wan’s reaction, what more did Xia Bowen need to understand?

Admitting it or not was no longer important.

Why is the Shangguan family becoming more and more disgusting?

It’s like they won’t rest until they’ve dragged our Xia family into hell.

Xia Bowen, holding back his anger, said, "Little Wan, would you like to call your father?"

Shangguan Wan’s mind was a mess right now, completely unable to understand why such a thing had happened.

Song Yunuan, even if not taken down by this lunatic, should not have appeared at my aunt’s doorstep with him.

What exactly happened?

Shangguan Wan felt it was all a tangled mess.

Then, hearing Xia Bowen’s words, that was the only thought in her head.

Yes, call, she needed to call daddy right away.

It shouldn’t be like this, something must have gone wrong, but she had no idea what it was at this point.

Song Yunuan stopped Zhong Shaoqing, who was about to follow her.

She said to him gently, "Second Young Master Zhong, your fiancée must be too happy and wants to share the good news with her dad. You just wait here for the happy announcement."

He had to wait for the call to go through. Otherwise, if he followed her, and Shangguan Wan got too scared to make the call, what then?

Zhong Shaoqing was feeling a bit anxious now. Song Yunuan wouldn’t really let him marry Shangguan Wan, would she?

Zhong Shaoqing’s face had gone a bit pale.

Xia Bowen, seeing Zhong Shaoqing’s condition, felt a little relieved inside. Clearly, this was not the crazed brutality and bloodthirstiness of rumors.

He looked somewhat abnormal, but it seemed within controllable limits.

Importantly, he seemed to listen to Song Yunuan particularly well.

Xia Bowen was very interested to find out what had happened at the summer camp.

He then asked Song Yunuan where the four bodyguards and the other people were.

"The other two said they were buying some things. They should arrive in Beidu in a day or two, and as for the four bodyguards, they are just outside the gate."

Xia Bowen glanced at the gate.

Was Song Yunuan planning to stay in Beidu for a few days?

He asked her, "Where are you staying?"

"I’m staying at Second Grandpa’s house."

Xia Bowen didn’t say anything else.

But Song Yunuan said, "It seems like Shangguan Wan is so happy she’s gone crazy. She might even speak incoherently to her daddy. Let’s go in and check."

Then she led Zhong Shaoqing inside.

At that moment, Shangguan Wan was indeed speaking incoherently to Shangguan Heng.

"...Didn’t you say that after he took a fancy to Song Yunuan, he wouldn’t come looking for me? Why did he follow Song Yunuan to the Xia family, saying that it was hard to come all this way, that he must marry me, daddy, I don’t want to marry him, I’d rather die than marry him, you go find Chairman Zhong right away, tell him his son is already in Beidu, you guys talk it over. If I explain things clearly on this end, could we call the wedding off, please?"

Song Yunuan then saw that Zhong Shaoqing’s eyes suddenly lit up.

It looked like Shangguan Wan was indeed just a decoy.

Luckily, Shangguan Wan did not like Zhong Shaoqing; if she had, it would have broken her heart.

Seeing everyone following inside, Shangguan Wan’s face immediately flushed red; she had been too excited earlier, and now she was sure everyone had heard her.

Xia Liying finally found her voice again, "Shangguan Wan, why are you so mean? When you told my dad earlier, to ease the relationship, you found someone to pull strings to send Song Yunuan to the summer camp. I even argued with you back then, you said you just wanted to ease the relationship between the two families with good intentions. Turned out you had hidden agendas all along, and you wanted to harm us!"
