Chapter 448: Chapter 448: Dreamed About Him

Song Yunuan actually felt that her grandmother’s worries were justified.

Her grandmother’s life had been unstable, and now all she wanted was some peace, which was understandable.

Her uncle had recently not been leaving the village much, staying at home instead, and then she told him about going to Xiangjiang, but her uncle didn’t say anything else at the time, so why did he suddenly want to go now?

There were some things that her grandmother shouldn’t hear.

Song Yunuan sat beside Zhu Feng, wiping away her tears, and spoke in a soft voice, "Grandma, your concerns are right, and it’s right for you to feel this way, but my uncle is not the same as he used to be.

Besides, I’m going as well this time. I’ll be my uncle’s bodyguard, so you can rest assured."

Zhu Feng glared at Song Yunuan without amusement, "How old are you to be your uncle’s bodyguard? Even if you’re strong, you’re still a child, don’t always try to act tough."

Song Yunuan, "I just love hearing Grandma call me a child, Grandma, let me talk with my uncle."

Song Yunuan took Xia Xindong to sit under the pumpkin trellis in the courtyard.

This season was just the summertime and also the perfect time.

Not only were the flowers red and the willows green, but the fruits were also fragrant.

Zhu Feng’s courtyard was tidy and clean, surrounded by fence walls, with vegetable gardens in front and back, and there was an apple tree in the yard, laden with fruit.

According to Old Mrs. Song, there was actually no difference between Zhu Feng’s big courtyard and the quadrangle courtyard in Beidu.

But the price was a hundred times different.

However, Song Yunuan really liked this pumpkin trellis.

Now it was full of pumpkins the size of fists. Some were already edible, while others were still growing.

Zhu Feng had already made Song Yunuan several meals of pumpkin pancakes.

Actually, there was nothing bad about this rural life, as long as one didn’t have too high material demands.

On a spiritual level, if one desired this kind of pastoral scenery, it could fully satisfy.

In the future, isn’t it just about going back to the past? From the city back to the countryside, hidden in the mountains manors, villas with beautiful scenery, and carefully crafted farmstays...

Her uncle had been staying in the countryside these days, also enjoying himself.

He was even preparing to invest in building a villa on Little Southern Mountain, where the scenery was beautiful, and there was a natural lake.

He even discussed with Song Yunuan how to make the villa look good.

As for the Begonia house in Beidu, it was bought for Song Yunuan, who could live there if she wished.

Now that her uncle suddenly wanted to go to Xiangjiang, there must be a reason.

With no others around, Song Yunuan asked Xia Xindong, "Uncle, why do you want to go to Xiangjiang?"

Xia Xindong glanced at Song Yunuan.

"Can I not say?"

Song Yunuan shook her head, "No, you can’t!"

Xia Xindong laughed, "When did you learn to be so domineering? What if I just don’t tell you?"

"I won’t let you go," Song Yunuan said earnestly, her little face tense, "I have a lot of say in this trip to Xiangjiang, do you believe me?"

Xia Xindong smiled helplessly, "I believe, I believe!"

Song Yunuan, "Old Master Xia told me that he has something very important to confirm in Xiangjiang, mainly to check if a certain item is in Shangguan Heng’s possession."

Xia Xindong scoffed, "That man is full of schemes, don’t let his outward gentleness blind you, you need to be cautious when necessary, and not let him take advantage of you."

Song Yunuan nodded obediently, "Don’t worry, he wouldn’t dare to use me."

Xia Xindong looked at his confident niece and thought to himself, indeed, with Little Nuan’s capabilities, who would dare scheme against her?

However, he was definitely going to follow Song and Dance Troupe One to Xiangjiang for the consolation performance this time.

"...In the thirty years in Xiangjiang, too much has happened.

Even though I have a good memory, there are many painful memories I don’t wish to recall, which I’ve suppressed.

But three days ago, I dreamt of Hea Yunfei."

Song Yunuan asked in surprise, "Hea Yunfei, who is that?"

Xia Xindong’s expression was calm, his eyes neither bloodshot nor teary, yet Song Yunuan felt as if he was crying.

It was an indescribable feeling that tugged at the heart.

Song Yunuan’s heart softened, and she said obediently, "...Uncle, I won’t ask anymore."

Xia Xindong actually smiled, "There’s nothing you can’t ask."

He stood up and looked at the lush pumpkin leaves in front of him, with sunlight streaming through the gaps between the leaves, casting countless dancing lights and shadows in front of him, like the spirits of butterflies.

The brilliant sunshine, the fresh air, the green mountains and waters, the farmhouse with its hedge wall...

This was the life he liked, the one he had dreamed of.

But, he still had things to do.

"Hea Yunfei is an associate of mine, though not exactly a friend. Actually, in that lab, I had no friends, and they ignored me; they were all foreigners, with me being the only one from the mainland.

They were free to move around, but I had my own lab. One day they assigned someone to be my assistant, and that was Hea Yunfei from Nanyang. That year I was seventeen, the same age as you are now.

Hea Yunfei said he’d help me send news to my family and secretly wrote down my home address.

I thought there was hope this time, so on the surface, I obediently developed drugs for them, while secretly looking forward to Hea Yunfei leaving and sending messages to rescue me.

One day, Hea Yunfei left, telling me to wait for his good news.

But after he left, that bastard Shangguan Heng locked me up...

Shangguan Heng said Hea Yunfei was just playing me, that he had reported everything I was planning, and they were all laughing at me.

Laughing at how I longed, how I became disappointed and then desperate... He even said to me that I would die in their lab.

Don’t think the Wang family wasn’t involved; in fact, Chairman Wang has a son named Wang Kai, who is cruel and vicious.

He came to me, saying Hea Yunfei had already snitched, saying I wanted to go home.

He said, "Go home, and I’ll make sure your soul stays in the ocean."

Back then, they all surrounded and laughed at me so merrily. They wanted me to beg, to cry, to give up completely.

I stopped thinking about Hea Yunfei, and stopped trying to find someone to save me.

I was under their strict surveillance; they knew everything I did.

Back then, I was not just a cash cow, but also their plaything."

At this point, Xia Xindong’s warm gaze turned to Song Yunuan.

He saw his niece with tears welling up in her eyes, clenching her little fists.

Xia Xindong ruffled Song Yunuan’s hair, "Who would have thought that I would actually get out, and it would be my niece, like a little hero, who rescued me."

Song Yunuan’s eyes were still tearful, but she gave a hee-hee laugh.

Her uncle had suffered so much, what they knew was just the tip of the iceberg.

Xia Xindong: "...I hadn’t thought about what happened in Xiangjiang for a long time. I believe that in the end, good and evil will receive their due. When I have gathered enough strength, I’ll make sure they never rise again.

Yet I actually dreamt of Hea Yunfei, who told me he didn’t snitch, apologizing to me all along.

Last time in Nan City, I didn’t question Shangguan Heng; I figured it’d be the same old reasons even if I did.

But I think, while gathering strength takes time, I need to clear up Hea Yunfei’s matter as soon as possible.

This time, I can also take on a task, that is to work with Xiangjiang Kangda Pharmaceutical Factory.

Lu naturally wants to go with me, and now with my official status, they wouldn’t dare to do anything to me.

Your grandma is just having a stress reaction; I’ll persuade her."
