Chapter 333: Chapter 333 Shangguan Heng Won’t Come

The company only had four people.

Lin Qing didn’t know what Song Yunuan planned to do, but she had established it using the identity of the Zhong family anyway.

Then, yesterday, she received a call from Little Nuan, telling her to cooperate well with the treatment and to attend the trade fair in the middle of next month.

In case of any eventuality, bring Uncle Di along.

Zhong Shaoqing diverted his gaze.

Hmm, it’s a bit lengthy, yet it’s somewhat quick too, he hoped to recover even better.

The trade fair, huh, I wonder if Zhong Daqiao and Zhong Tianci will attend.

Zhong Daqiao always has tricks up his sleeve, but being so quiet now seems a bit off.

Adah went to the Xia family to check things out but didn’t find anything unusual.

Mainly because Second Aunt Zhang was originally from Beidu, she did run there in her earlier years, already in her thirties—her accent is hard to change.

Aside from being a Beidu native, one can’t notice it without listening carefully.

And this Second Aunt Zhang knew about Lin Qing’s movements.

The Su family didn’t hide it either since everyone knew already.

Su Junze made up with Lin Qing, Hu Xiaomei could make a fuss or sue as she liked, Su Junze was resolved to go all out and said he would sue Hu Xiaomei for taking advantage of someone’s difficulties.

The Su family’s face had been lost long ago, so naturally, they were resigned to their fate.

But Hu Xiaomei wasn’t an easy one either, insisting on giving birth to the child, even saying it was the Su family’s eldest grandson. Wouldn’t they acknowledge it?

Lin Qing and Hu Xiaomei got into a fight.

Lin Qing’s face got scratched by Hu Xiaomei. Lin Jia protected her sister and beat Hu Xiaomei up, even saying she was ready to pay with her life if she killed her.

Hu Xiaomei got scared then and didn’t dare to provoke Lin Qing anymore, but she sued Lin Jia for intentional assault, claiming it almost caused her miscarriage.

Lin Jia was locked up.

And paid Hu Xiaomei a large sum in medical expenses.

You could say it was a lose-lose situation.

At this critical juncture, Lin Qing went back to the office for returning items, dragging a cart full of antiques and claimed they were all fake, demanding an explanation from the other party.

The officials there were stunned.

Of course, they wouldn’t admit it, and the lawsuit could not proceed. Amidst the hassle and disputes, Second Aunt Zhang knew Song Yunuan was safe and sound.

She didn’t dare to test the waters anymore.

Without a stake or a vendetta of life and death, she wouldn’t oppose a person like Song Yunuan.

But she wasn’t preparing to go back to Xiangjiang.

Instead, she rented a place and stayed.

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

Song Liang was called to a meeting.

He was given a booklet, which included precautions and rules for the trade fair.

It turned out it wasn’t so simple as casually speaking to foreign guests and doing business.

But Song Liang thought, could he even do business with foreign guests?

Quite unrealistic.

However, it would be good if the clothes could be sold in Nan City.

The old accountant hired by the factory was named Zhou, everyone called her Accountant Zhou.

Her arrival made the factory appear more official.

Although Old Mrs. Song felt a loss, she was also relieved.

The paper bags printed by the printing factory arrived, and the clothes were neatly folded and placed inside; once picked up, they immediately appeared different.

They were kraft paper bags, adorned with an orchid on top and the Chinese characters for Zhilan Garment Factory below, including the foreign text.

These were for the trade fair.

Once everything was prepared, it was time to depart.

When Song Yunuan took leave, after having finished her high school midterm exams, she left Principal Cui at a loss for words.

From the same mother, yet another’s studies were much harder; it probably was all the nutrients taken away by this young girl in the womb.

The leave was granted with particular cheer.

Returning just in time for the mathematics competition.

Now, it was only Little Asheng who wanted to come along, but it was too far, and Nan City was rather intricate, so Song Yunuan was hesitant to bring him.

She suggested he stay at home to play with his uncle.

That would be for the best.

However, Xia Xindong stated that he wanted to go to Nan City.

Song Yunuan asked him what was going on, and he said he had been having nightmares recently, feeling extremely uncomfortable, waking up each time in a cold sweat.

He had a personal security guard, a round-faced young man that Song Yunuan and Asheng called Brother Lu, always smiling but with excellent reflexes.

Given the circumstances, she decided to bring Little Asheng along.

Little Asheng expressed a desire to bring Da Bai and Er Bai along, the two dominant geese from the village.

The kind that could chase the big yellow dog into frantic escape.

If I could bring the big white goose with me, nobody would dare to get close.

Of course, that couldn’t be brought along.

The samples for the exhibition were sent off in advance, and there were people from the provincial city who had gone to Nan City beforehand to set things up.

They would take care of the goods.

Leading the team from Nanshan County Town were Deputy County Mayor Kou and Deputy County Mayor Zhao, as well as Secretary-General Xu.

The rest were the directors and managers of the food and timber factories.

All was quiet on the way, and at Jin Station, they rendezvoused with Xia Bowen and Zhong Shaoqing, who had also taken this train on purpose.

Of course, Uncle Xiao Dizi couldn’t be missed.

Song Yunuan checked the leather bag company’s paperwork, and it was good, they were completely ready to receive goods.

When Xia Bowen knew that Asheng was coming, he also bought him quite a few toys, picture books, and snacks.

Asheng sweetly called him Grandpa Xia, just like he did with Old Mr. Gong and Grandpa Gong.

It didn’t hold any special meaning.

Xia Bowen didn’t dare to take it to heart.

He found Song Yunuan in private and asked her if Xia Xindong’s coming wasn’t too dangerous.

Song Yunuan told the truth, "Actually, I didn’t want to come, but my uncle keeps having nightmares. He’s always been sensitive, and if he feels like coming, then he comes. I’ll follow."

Xia Bowen let out a sigh.

Song Yunuan said, "Shangguan Heng won’t come. He’s worried you’ll beat him up."

Xia Bowen nodded, "Then I must go take a look too. I have a friend here that I haven’t contacted in many years. It’s time to get in touch again."

Song Yunuan raised an eyebrow in surprise.

This so-called friend must certainly be Xia Bowen’s own man, and it was time to call him back into action.

She wondered why he didn’t keep it from her.

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

Meanwhile, in Xiangjiang.

All three families had gathered together.

Chairman Wang felt a malicious glee in his heart, as both of the other families were in trouble.

His family was not.

He was not a good person, but his wife was his first and only, his son and daughter were legitimate, and he had never locked anyone’s child in a basement.

He had always been ready to kick someone when they were down, but outwardly, he still had to pretend to be concerned.

To his surprise, after all the talk, neither of the old guys dared to show their faces directly.

Shangguan Heng said, "Xia Bowen is coming just for me. If I went, he might cripple me. Let my eldest son Wenhai go."

Zhong Daqiao, "That cursed child’s illness comes and goes; it pains me to see it. Let Tianci go then. Besides, it’s time for him to learn to manage things on his own."

Chairman Wang, naturally, would not go in person; such a rustic trade fair would be beneath him.

The three shared a knowing smile, each with their own ulterior motives.

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

Arriving in Nan City felt like entering another world; not to mention the still fragrant bird songs and flowers, but rather the fact that there were so many people doing business.

In many cities today, setting up stands is still an anxious affair, yet here, it had already become the norm.

After settling in, Song Yunuan quietly went alone to the streets near the reception hotel.

It was evening by then.

The street was not only lined with clothes and various goods for sale, but also a great number of snack stalls.

Song Yunuan seemed to find everything novel, but that got her targeted.

Mainly because Song Yunuan was beautiful, there were no adults around, and her shoulder bag was filled with money, making her look like a plump sheep delivered right to the doorstep.

Thus, a young man reached out to grab Song Yunuan’s backpack.

Usually, Song Yunuan liked to wear it crossbody.

Today, for the convenience of others*, she was wearing it over one shoulder.

He got his hands on it right away.

Song Yunuan shouted that there was a thief, and surprisingly chased after him into the alley.

She was followed by a crowd of people.

Some worried onlookers shook their heads from a distance but dared not intervene, only able to offer their sympathy.

Before long, Song Yunuan emerged from another end of the alley.

She had also obtained the information she wanted.

This method was best.

These people were often around here, and there was nothing they didn’t know about the trade fair.

At this time, the young man who attempted to snatch the bag, with a bruised nose and face, was staggering and leaning against a wall.

His heart was filled with terror.

He had been beaten severely, with both hands feeling as if they were no longer his own.

He had to go to the hospital immediately...
