Eighties Sweetheart Wife
Chapter 477: Explosive Plot

Chapter 477: Chapter 477: Explosive Plot

Another person, revering the spirits, felt that perhaps Eldest Miss Hai really did manifest a presence to deliberately curry favor.

He sincerely said, "Indeed, that’s exactly what happened. I wasn’t standing far away and saw it with my own eyes. My heart is still pounding in my chest. I need to leave now. Thank you for your generous hospitality, but I suggest you still check everything afterward. Also, Second Young Master Zhong isn’t just a good kid, his agility is impressive too. Truly outstanding!"

At this time, several middle-aged noblewomen came over to take their leave from Xue Meirou.

They expressed their lingering fears.

"Mrs. Zhong, you’re really lucky today, you’ve escaped death. It was thanks to your stepson."

"We always hear about this and that from him, but the true nature of a person is revealed in critical moments."

"Treat him a bit better from now on, I really hadn’t expected this."

"Excuse us, we’ll also take our leave."

Xue Meirou’s face turned ashen. What had happened wasn’t merely a push; that little bastard had kicked her, and she could still feel the pain in her stomach.

But she couldn’t say that, and had to force a smile.

As the chattering guests gradually left, Xue Meirou looked at the empty hall and thought about their words. Some were comforting her, but others were plainly watching a farce unfold.

This was the first time Xue Meirou had encountered such a situation since she joined the Zhong family.

Her angry gaze turned towards Zhong Shaoqing and Song Yunuan; these two were the harbingers of doom.

Otherwise, how could such an incident have happened at an otherwise normal banquet?

Yet, Zhong Shaoqing was also questioning Zhong Daqiao. He roared, "If it hadn’t been for me today, you would have been smashed into a meat pie, including that despicable woman. Who gave you the courage to glare at me with those dog eyes, as if you’re disgusted that I’m not crazy enough? You’re all ungrateful wretches. No one speak to me. Take me to see the safety deposit box right now. If there’s any more mischief, my mom won’t let you off!"

Xue Meirou and Zhong Daqiao instantly turned pale.

But after taking a deep breath, they both cast doubtful glances at Song Yunuan.

Song Yunuan was baffled, "Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Both of them had serious suspicions about Song Yunuan but had no evidence.

Especially since it seemed like even Miss Ai Ni was afraid of her.

And the way Madam Shangguan Heng behaved today was nothing like yesterday.

Today she was like a quail.

Zhong Daqiao managed a smile towards Song Yunuan, first thanking her for attending the banquet, feeling that it was graced by her presence, then acknowledging her care for Zhong Shaoqing and thanking Olde Miracle Doctor Ji for his help.

After he finished speaking, Zhong Shaoqing asked directly, "Where is the safety deposit box?"

Zhong Daqiao: "...Don’t fret, I’ll take you there now."

But Xue Meirou looked towards Song Yunuan with a dark expression.

She was always holding back a breath of anger; today was supposed to be about showing the gold-digging Song Yunuan what a wealthy family was like.

Yet, it had ended like this.

She had lost face so badly.

Unable to hold back any longer, Xue Meirou sarcastically said, "All the guests I invited are old friends, only you, Song Yunuan, are new here, yet such an incident happened.

To talk of Eldest Miss Hai’s spirit manifesting? It’s laughable.

If Eldest Miss Hai could have manifested her spirit, she would have done so long ago; why wait until now?

You know, in those years, Second Young Master went mad quite seriously, narrowly escaping with his life.

I think, maybe, the crystal chandelier fell today because Eldest Miss Hai was angry.

But why was she angry?

Shaoqing, think about it. Is it because you brought this Song Yunuan back?

Is it possible your mom was actually displeased with Song Yunuan, and that’s why she issued a warning to you?"

Because of a guilty conscience, Zhong Daqiao always felt a bit uneasy.

Then, with Xue Meirou’s explanation, her eyes suddenly widened.

Yes, the lady is right.

This is the most correct interpretation.

She had scared him into thinking that Hai Mingzhu was really going to dispose of him.

So this was not dissatisfaction with him, but dissatisfaction with Song Yunuan?

That’s right, how could she be dissatisfied with him? That woman loved him so much; she certainly wouldn’t want to scare him. It must be to intimidate Song Yunuan, to make her back off and leave Zhong Shaoqing as soon as possible.

Zhong Daqiao’s eyes flickered.

Without Song Yunuan by his side, this scourge would actually be easy to deal with.

Perhaps with the help of Hai Mingzhu, he could drive Song Yunuan away.

Zhong Shaoqing had always known that Xue Meirou was a shameless person.

He had not expected her to be even more shameless.

Just as he was about to speak, he was dragged aside by Song Yunuan.

Song Yunuan held Xue Meirou’s wrist, very polite and coy, and said, "Mrs. Zhong, let’s find a secluded spot; I have something private I want to discuss with you!"

Xue Meirou was stunned for a moment, then struggled to shake off Song Yunuan’s hand, but she didn’t expect Song Yunuan’s delicate fingers to be so strong, involuntarily pulling her into a quiet corner.

Over there, Zhong Daqiao frowned.

He didn’t know what Song Yunuan was pulling the lady to talk about, especially to a secluded place.

At this moment, Xue Meirou looked impatiently at Song Yunuan.

What a cheap girl, just because she’s hanging around rich people, she thinks she’s something special.

These men praise her so highly, but it’s only because she’s pretty.

But why is Ai Ni behaving the way she is towards her?

Could it be that Song Yunuan has come here to threaten her with going to Ai Ni to tattle?

If that’s the case, then she has her own words to say.

Song Yunuan simply doesn’t match the standards of the people from Xiangjiang.

Especially since the people from Xiangjiang also look down upon outsiders.

In this regard, she and Miss Ai Ni undoubtedly stand together.

This explanation, it’s flawless.

"Miss Song, what I said earlier was reasonable; from any perspective, you simply don’t meet Eldest Miss Hai’s standards for choosing a daughter-in-law. Her spirit in heaven is very angry, which is normal; but since she’s gone, you don’t need to mind her."

Song Yunuan fixed her gaze on Xue Meirou.

This was a woman with incredibly strong mental fortitude.

Unfortunately, she had triggered a storyline.

Although it was a single plotline, it was quite explosive.

"Mrs. Zhong, you’re wrong there; I do care very much about Eldest Miss Hai’s thoughts in heaven.

That’s why, at the Beishan summer camp, I took the pitiful Second Young Master Zhong, who had been drugged by his own father into madness and on the brink of death, to Beidu, and even had Old Miracle Doctor Ji personally treat him."

Xue Meirou, who was previously composed, now had a drastically changed complexion.

She hadn’t expected Song Yunuan to have such a vicious tongue and leave no room for mercy.

Just as Xue Meirou was about to speak, Song Yunuan gestured with her hand: "No need for useless words, I’ll tell you a shocking piece of news.

The truth is, Zhong Daqiao’s pride and joy, his eldest son, Zhong Tianci, is actually not his biological son but is born from his wife Xue Meirou and a man named Chen Youcai..."

Standing in front of Song Yunuan, Xue Meirou seemed as if struck by lightning, her body rigid, and her blood felt as though it was flowing backward.
