Chapter 459: Chapter 459: Teach Her How to Behave?

Zhong Daqiao began pondering upon hearing these words.

Indeed, if he wanted to regain control over Zhong Shaoqing, he needed to deal with Song Yunuan first.

This Song Yunuan was like a bloodsucking leech.

If Shaoqing were still alive at twenty-five and remained the same as now, his inheritance would be in jeopardy, and there’s a chance he wouldn’t get a penny.

Zhong Daqiao frowned and looked at his gentle and soft-spoken wife, thought for a moment, and said, "Don’t underestimate Song Yunuan, that girl is very formidable, and she’s quite strong, you’re not her match."

Xue Meirou had contempt in her heart, but her surface was still submissive as she said, "You’re right to remind me. I am kind-hearted, gentle, and weak by nature. I heard that Northern Lass is savage and unreasonable—I’m not going to fight her. I only mean well and want to show her the world. So I’m asking you, if Shaoqing insists on marrying her, can you still stop him?"

Zhong Daqiao’s heart stirred, mainly because he hadn’t considered this angle before. Now upon reflection, it seemed Song Yunuan had impure motives.

What if she really married Shaoqing?

He immediately shook his head, "No, I absolutely disagree, even marrying a cat or a dog would be better than that Northern Lass."

Unconsciously, he had also started referring to Song Yunuan as Northern Lass along with Xue Meirou.

In Xiangjiang, Northern Lass is a derogatory term.

The two were using it on purpose.

Xue Meirou laughed, "What can you do if you disagree? Now Shaoqing won’t even listen to you. Tell me, after he inherits that enormous wealth, do you think he’ll still listen to you?"

As she spoke, she paused and then continued, "Instead of being disgraced later, it’s better to teach her more now, to expose her more to the world, the social elites, and the genuine daughters of prominent families.

We have to let her mingle with them frequently, observe every word and deed, and see how these people behave, to avoid any embarrassment or ridicule. And remember, if it really happens, she would be the Zhong family’s daughter-in-law. If she’s truly unacceptable, not only will you lose face, but I, as her stepmother, will be embarrassed too..."

Zhong Daqiao agreed.

Even if he couldn’t do much to Song Yunuan, letting her experience the atmosphere of high society, instilling a sense of fear in her, would be beneficial.

His wife was right; if they ended up getting Shaoqing to marry her, they needed to teach her how to be the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family.

She shouldn’t think that strength was all it took.

She also needed presence, charisma, connections, and to be liked by the ladies of high society. That was nearly impossible.

Letting her experience it would indeed be good.

So she wouldn’t be arrogant and overbearing, thinking she was superior just because she was strong and had special abilities.

Although Xia Bowen and Old Master Gu had different goals, there was some overlap in their interests.

Thus, Xia Bowen and Old Master Gu quietly discussed the phone call from Shangguan Heng earlier.

Even though he was in charge, with Old Master Gu present, it was still best to report back to him.

Old Master Gu asked, "What’s your plan?"

Xia Bowen replied, "Shangguan Heng is sly and cunning. I can’t say for sure this is a trap, but there might be something waiting for me. I still want to go. I suspect the Nine Dragons Inkstone is in his possession; otherwise, he wouldn’t have said those words..."

It was definitely risky.

Xia Bowen, as if making final arrangements, discussed a lot with Old Master Gu.

Old Master Gu frowned, "Do you believe Shangguan Heng has the audacity to kill you?"

Xia Bowen shook his head, "He won’t do it himself, but he’s crafty and has many ways to harm someone. I’m not a young man anymore, and an unexpected death would raise suspicion. I have a heart condition and many other age-related illnesses. It would be easy for him to arrange an accident if I refuse to cooperate with him."

"...Given that, do you still intend to go?"

"Yes, I will go alone, without taking anyone with me. If I don’t come back, that will confirm that the Nine Dragons Inkstone is indeed in his hands."

This was a thorny issue.

Old Master Gu glanced at Xia Bowen, "Let’s do this, I’ll send someone to follow you. After you’ve been inside for half an hour, have them knock on the door."

Xia Bowen shook his head, "Old Master, Xia Xindong has arranged a few people here, they will take action as they see fit."

At this moment, Song Yunuan was in her own room.

Her room was the best princess room in the hotel.

The decorations were noble and elegant, yet there was an understated luxury.

It was prepared especially for Song Yunuan by Uncle Lew.

Even though he hadn’t had much contact with Song Yunuan, he had learned quite a bit about her from Shaoqing.

Not to mention the boundless future of such a capable young lady, just the way she provided a life-saving help to Shaoqing, something that even he had not achieved.

Naturally, when Little Nuan arrived, she was definitely going to stay in the best room.

The princess room was not just a simple suite, it had a full range of facilities, including a gym, a screening room, and even a swimming pool.

This was Song Yunuan’s favorite part.

Then, Little Asheng followed his sister and moved into the princess room.

He was currently playing in the swimming pool, laughing gleefully with a sharp voice.

He also felt a bit sorry that he couldn’t bring Da Bai, for Da Bai would surely have been even happier than him.

Xia Xindong was also there, but he was reading books in the library.

Song Mingbo was more interested in the gym and the screening room, where there were many foreign movies and Xiangjiang films.

They seemed very interesting to watch.

He even went to the gym and fell in love with it instantly.

He told Song Yunuan, "Uncle Lew is really nice to let you stay in such a good room."

Song Yunuan felt Uncle Lew was a good person; she and Shaoqing’s company, Fanhua, had also received a lot of support from the old master.

Just the recorder this time made her earn more than two hundred thousand.

The princess room was large, and everyone was doing their own thing.

But Song Ting was doing laundry for Song Yunuan and Asheng. There was a washing machine, but Song Ting thought the machine was too rough, so she hand-washed Little Nuan’s silk dresses and the linen summer clothes.

Especially the linen, although improved, still shrank after washing.

So, she hand-washed everything.

Without waiting for Song Yunuan to organize her things, Song Ting had already efficiently sorted everything out and hung the clothes in the wardrobe, while the worn clothes were washed and hung on the balcony on the other side.

After finishing these tasks, Song Ting started looking around and had to admit that the wealthy in Xiangjiang really knew how to enjoy life.

Song Yunuan was planning to tidy up, but she felt that Youngest Aunt was not only fast but also very methodical in organizing things.

So, she simply didn’t bother with anything and played in the swimming pool with Asheng.

When Song Ting had finished organizing and came over to the pool, Song Yunuan invited Song Ting to live with her, but Song Ting said, "I’m staying with Jinglan, so I won’t come."

Shi Jinglan was Youngest Aunt’s best friend at the workplace, so naturally, she wouldn’t leave her to stay here alone.

Song Ting pondered for a moment and honestly said to Song Yunuan, "Little Nuan, I feel like I’m much more confident than before, actually, I used to be very insecure.

For example, with Second Uncle and Sister Xinyi, they were really nice to me, just like family, but I always kept my distance, with a barrier in my heart.

In the words of our family, it’s being overly courteous, or as your grandma would say, being needlessly fussy. Then there were things at work that I couldn’t resolve by myself, so I thought of just bearing with it, and it ended up affecting my best friend."
