Eighties Sweetheart Wife
Chapter 496: Three Horizontal and One Vertical

Chapter 496: Chapter 496: Three Horizontal and One Vertical

Chairman Wang, originally full of confidence, immediately became uncertain after hearing the voice of Song Yunuan.

Could he really invite her?

He and his son had planned everything so well and even paid the deposit, never considering the possibility that Song Yunuan might not come.

Complacent, too complacent, but now he was riding the tiger and couldn’t get off, everything was already arranged. If he didn’t go, wouldn’t the money have been wasted? He just couldn’t bear the thought.

Chairman Wang mustered his spirit and said to Song Yunuan, "It’s not an ordinary cruise ship. It’s a very luxurious big cruise ship that can sail into international waters, where you can see groups of dolphins. If you’re lucky, you might even see mermaids!"

Song Yunuan replied, "You’re so eager to lure me onto a cruise ship, I can tell you’re up to no good. Don’t talk about a luxury cruise ship, even if it were a spaceship I’d have to think it over."

Chairman Wang was so angry his nose was askew.

"You’re thinking too much, I’m just being kind. Furthermore, I’m not just inviting you; I’ve invited many other ladies to enjoy the trip. You must have never seen such a cruise ship. It’s huge, with plenty of food, drinks, and entertainment."

Song Yunuan couldn’t be bothered to argue with him any longer, "Give me three days. Whether Hea Yunfei is dead or alive, you’ll have to give an explanation. Chairman Wang, cut the nonsense, and don’t think of taking my life on the sea. A fortune-teller told me I’d live to at least a hundred years old, so give up on those thoughts. Don’t mess with me, or else I’ll get unhappy. When I’m unhappy, I like to smash things. Your windows were just replaced, and while you may have money, replacing windows every day is still a hassle, isn’t it?"

Chairman Wang’s face turned an iron blue as he blurted out, "So it was really you who smashed my windows!"

Song Yunuan, nonchalant, responded, "Is this even questionable? Haven’t you known this all along?"

Chairman Wang clenched the phone tightly, thinking that although he had suspected it, it was never confirmed, and now it turned out it was indeed Song Yunuan who had shattered his windows.

What an utterly pointless act.

He hadn’t even done anything at the time, what right did she have to smash his windows?

But at the same time, he felt a chill, realizing he had been overly confident and careless.

With goodwill, Song Yunuan advised, "I suggest you drop any ill-conceived plans, don’t organize any cruise parties and don’t drag innocent people down with you. Otherwise, if you get bitten back, you won’t be able to save your life, marked by three horizontal lines and one vertical."

Chairman Wang: ...

Three horizontal lines and one vertical?

What does that mean?

Ah, so infuriating!

After saying this, Song Yunuan hung up the phone.

Although she also wanted to take a trip at sea, she was going to head home in a few days.

Meanwhile, Xia Bowen had already visited Shangguan Heng’s house once but was unable to find the Nine Dragons Inkstone.

It was uncertain whether the old fox was trying to avoid compounding his mistakes or genuinely couldn’t find it.

Shangguan Heng, however, seemed much more honest.

He displayed a mix of remorse and eagerness to please when seeing Xia Xindong.

Of course, his remorse wasn’t because he felt that he had been cruel and owed Xia Xindong an apology but because he regretted not having killed him.

The eagerness to please came from his life being in Xia Xindong’s hands.

The sensation of having his fate clutched at the throat was naturally unpleasant, but Xia Xindong had experienced it for thirty years.

Song Yunuan always felt that she was too kind-hearted, just like her little uncle, truly repaying evil with good.

Just look at these three families; they haven’t really been harmed.

Therefore, Song Yunuan went to find Xia Bowen and said to him, "Call Shangguan Heng and tell him I want to visit his house."

Xia Bowen was taken aback and asked Song Yunuan, "Is there something you need?"

Song Yunuan glanced sideways at Xia Bowen, "Can’t I visit someone without a reason?"

Xia Bowen: ...

The girl was upset.

Who had upset her?

Pretty much everyone in the Song and Dance Troupe One treated her like a little sister. She was sweet-talking and resourceful, taking the girls shopping, helping them buy clothes, and was especially good at haggling. There weren’t many who didn’t like her.

As for them, whether the old folks or the young ones, even more needless to say.

Even he, to be honest, wouldn’t dream of troubling Little Nuan without good reason.

Not to mention, she had used an investment firm to tie up Xia Zhi.

No matter the motive, that act was a great benefit to Xia Zhi.

The current Xia Zhi was quite impressive and had learned a lot from Little Nuan.

Even if one day Little Nuan no longer needed him, the things he had learned from her would not be lost. Instead, they would benefit him for a lifetime.

What’s important is that, although investment companies are still a novel concept in Beidu, thanks to Little Nuan’s efforts, any company in her hands would receive some attention from above.

This was already an exception, but Little Nuan was worth it.

Just take the animation studio in Hai City, for instance. They are currently producing an animation. With funding in place and new staff recruited, they are now working with great vigor.

The old factory manager was brimming with confidence.

He said that by New Year’s Day of ’82, they expected to premiere it to children and teenagers.

Actually, Xia Bowen felt that adults would love it too.

When reading, it’s all in the imagination, but if it could be brought to life, it might be quite spectacular.

With so many safeguarding it, even if there were voices of opposition, they were mostly suppressed.

The minority must acquiesce to the majority, after all.

So, why wouldn’t Little Nuan be happy?

Gu Huai’an?

Impossible.

Even though Huai’an had been busy these past few days, he wouldn’t let anyone upset Song Yunuan.

Simazhao’s intentions are clear to everyone.

After a mess of thoughts, Xia Bowen readily agreed to help.

Regardless of what Little Nuan wanted to do, he would definitely follow suit.

And so, Xia Bowen really did call Shangguan Heng.

He didn’t even ask why Song Yunuan wanted him to make this call.

Upon receiving the call, Shangguan Heng’s mood soured.

What was this demon up to now?

Had the other two done something again?

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Now that Song Yunuan had fed him medicine, his life was in her hands.

She wouldn’t bother him for the time being, whatever her goal might be.

It’s not that she was showing leniency, rather that the girl liked to cut flesh with a blunt knife.

If she wanted him gone, she would first make sure he suffered.

Since he hadn’t been tormented much yet, she wouldn’t let go of him so soon.

Although he despised this feeling, he had to admit that it gave him a chance to catch his breath.

With this breathing space, he could go abroad to a major hospital and seek a solution.

Whether the medicine Xia Xindong had given him was real or fake, he still wasn’t sure to this day.

After all, he had taken an antidote.

But in his view, given the ruthlessness of Xia Xindong and Song Yunuan, they would definitely not be giving him vitamin pills.

Xia Xindong’s words were unlikely to be false.

Song Yunuan wouldn’t go through so much trouble just to give him nutrient tablets.

Therefore, he treasured this respite greatly.

There is always someone better out there, as the saying goes.

Perhaps somewhere, someone might know what to do.

So these days, he tried to keep as low a profile as possible, hoping not to catch Song Yunuan’s attention.

He was also extremely polite to Xia Bowen.

On the other end, Shangguan Heng put on his best enthusiastic voice to assure Xia Bowen of a warm welcome.

Then, fuming, he called Zhong Daqiao.
