Chapter 446: Chapter 446: Don’t Give Me That Insincere Nonsense

Old Mrs. Song saw it this way: courtyard houses and apartment buildings are different. Courtyard houses can’t be built anymore, and more often, it’s apartment buildings that are being constructed. Apart from the value of the land, cement and red bricks are useless, so courtyard houses are definitely going to be worth more than apartment buildings.

Her thoughts were greatly praised by Song Yunuan.

Song Yunuan felt that her grandmother truly had foresight.

Now, the money in the family account was nearly five hundred thousand.

That was no small sum.

Therefore, when Grandma spent over thirty thousand on a house without batting an eye and gave her money for expenses, it was no longer just a dime or two, but five 1965 edition bank notes.

Going out with Grandma was great, as there was nothing to worry about. Although Grandma had never traveled far, it didn’t prevent her from learning and arranging everything clearly after that.

When Song Yunuan was about to have an exam and the school gave them a five-day break to relax, she went back to the village.

Even though their home was in the countryside, it was absolutely exquisite.

Bathing and washing were very convenient.

This year, the weather and rainfall were just right, and the river wasn’t too deep or too shallow—it was perfect for swimming.

However, the old lady wouldn’t allow it.

No matter what, she wouldn’t let Song Yunuan go to the crowded riverside.

A granddaughter as lovely as hers absolutely couldn’t go swimming in the river.

You could call her feudal or old-fashioned, but she just wouldn’t agree.

Song Yunuan had no choice but to give up.

As a result, she spent those five days tutoring her elder brother.

Before the exam, she received a call from Gu Huai’an, who only asked about her review progress and didn’t inquire further, as he knew it should be fine as long as she performed normally.

He then told Song Yunuan that the exploration equipment had been handed over to a newly established team to explore for gold and antiques.

He hoped there would be good news.

He also mentioned to Song Yunuan that he would be coming to the Nanshan test flight base in a few days.

After some thought, he added that Murong Feng had regained his memories.

He personally witnessed Qian Cheng point a gun at Gu Tiansheng amidst the chaos, only to be misunderstood and have the gun turned on himself.

As he was falling, he saw Qian Cheng kill Su Miaolan.

All these were ironclad evidence.

They matched up with the investigation findings.

Old Man Qian was hospitalized due to excessive shock.

Mainly because he had never expected his nephew to be an internal betrayer and that his most beloved wife had once been a mistress to an old man.

These were things he truly hadn’t been aware of.

There was also the question of Qian Cheng’s death—was it a natural death or was he silenced?

Su Miaolian, knowing the inside story, was cruelly poisoned to silence and ruin her.

There were also traces of Shangguan Yunqi in all this, and now it was better since Shangguan Yunqi had added one more piece of evidence to her record.

But this evidence couldn’t really harm her, apart from the threats involving Qu Limei and the psychotropic incense.

Nevertheless, while she could avoid the death penalty, she couldn’t escape punishment, and her sentence was increased by half a year.

So, Shangguan Yunqi fainted from anger.

Song Yunuan chuckled but then asked Gu Huai’an, "Your grandfather isn’t feeling guilty again, is he?"

Gu Huai’an raised his finely arched eyebrows, "How did you know?"

"Just guessed—given your grandfather’s personality, he must be thinking... if he had trusted Murong Feng a bit more, would all of these tragedies have been avoided?"

Gu Huai’an was silent for a moment.

He said in a low voice, "That’s right."

The grandfather appeared happy on the surface, but deep down, he was filled with bitterness.

This time there were no thoughts of suicide, but such a depressive state of mind could hardly be said to be any better than suicide itself.

Murong Feng too was not in a good mental state; he only had two family members left, and even they had dragged his siblings into this misery. He was in a lot of pain.

Murong Feng would rather not know or remember anything at all.

Another main issue was Wang Xiuniang, the widow Murong Feng once married.

She had come to Beidu to find Murong Feng.

Being somewhat physically disabled, she was carried here by her two sons.

It is said when her sons saw Murong Feng, they shamelessly called out to him as their father without any sense of shame.

As for Wang Xiuniang, she played the role of a villain filing a suit first, accusing Murong Feng of being ungrateful and betraying her after he acquired wealth and fortune, forgetting the grace of her saving his life.

The other party was clearly advised by someone more knowledgeable, not talking about a divorce at first but rather focusing on the life-saving grace.

This point was indisputable.

Wang Xiuniang also claimed that it was her eldest son who pressured her into the divorce; otherwise, at her advanced age, how could she possibly do something so shameful?

She conveniently omitted to mention her neglect in caring for Murong Feng and how she and her sons would often abuse him verbally and physically since Murong Feng was slow to respond or physically impaired due to his injuries.

Thus, Wang Xiuniang really just settled in by force.

By now, Murong Feng had his own separate residence and had received his compensation.

Then suddenly, Qianqian’s sixth aunt disappears.

We are trying our best to look for her.

Qianqian wanted to go to Xiangjiang to look for her but was stopped by Old Mr. Gu in the end.

For now, we could only wait for news.

That Wang Xiuniang continued to lord it over everyone frequently.

Murong Feng had a tough life when he was confused; it only got more unbearable when he regained his clarity.

Old Master Gu felt that he bore an inescapable responsibility for the hardships Murong Feng had endured.

Everything seemed to be fine for now, but if anything were to happen to Murong Feng, it’s likely Old Mr. Gu would have to atone with his own life.

Song Yunuan said, "...I want to make a phone call to your grandfather. I’ve been thinking lately; my Fanhua needs an old secretary to preside over it. Zhong Shaoqing is ultimately from Xiangjiang, and I want Fanhua to become an internationally renowned brand. How about letting your grandfather oversee things for the time being?"

The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to Song Yunuan.

It was like making good use of waste... ah no, no, no, more like making the most of remaining heat.

What she was really interested in was the elder’s connections and his sense of justice.

Of course, she would also need to consult with Zhong Shaoqing; if he disagreed, she wouldn’t approach Old Mr. Gu. After all, it was just a casual mention to Gu Huai’an.

As expected, Zhong Shaoqing felt uneasy about it; although Gu Tiansheng was a significant figure, he was Gu Huai’an’s grandfather.

The thought made him feel awkward no matter how he pondered it.

Yet he still said softly and obediently, "I’ll listen to Little Nuan."

Song Yunuan tapped the phone receiver and said directly, "If you don’t like it, I won’t let him come. We are fine as we are, free and easy, so, illiterate Second Young Master, don’t be hypocritical with me. If you disagree, just say it directly. I will definitely respect your opinion; don’t give me lip service that belies your true feelings."

Zhong Shaoqing: ...

It had been a long time since Little Nuan had called him the illiterate Second Young Master.

Bubbles of joy bubbled up from within, and his voice became cheerful as he quickly expressed his loyalty, "...When I say I agree, it’s not lip service. Little Nuan, you’ve been thorough in your consideration; I will definitely go along with your plans. Really, Little Nuan, I’m speaking sincerely."

Song Yunuan believed the Second Young Master dared not deceive her.

Still, she discussed the pros and cons with Zhong Shaoqing.

Right now, their two companies in Beidu were among the top, dealing with import and export. The fact was, without Gu Huai’an, not only would they be unable to enjoy preferential policies, but they might also have to pay various fees.

Operations might also not run smoothly.

Presently, things are running well, which is related to their abilities, and background plays an important role, too.

Zhong Shaoqing thought internally, Little Nuan made sense; no matter where you do business, connections and background are both indispensable.

He understood the logic, but there was still a feeling of being defeated, like no matter how hard he tried, he could never achieve that level...
