Chapter 503: Chapter 503: Two Old Men Pulling at a Flower?

If the Ai family and Sixth Master are really like the legends say, then the balance of power in Xiangjiang is about to change.

No single person can control how this balance shifts here.

But Song Yunuan’s influence can be seen behind all these changes.

Forget the words Sixth Master left behind, and not to mention the obvious support he showed for Song Yunuan at Dongfang Hong’s press conference.

It’s been said that before going to Hongyan Grand Restaurant, Eldest Young Master Ai and Eldest Young Missus of the Ai family visited Lew family’s hotel carrying valuable gifts.

What were these two doing at Lew family’s hotel?

It must be related to Song Yunuan.

Because before this, it seems that the Ai family had already presented Song Yunuan with apologies twice.

To speak of that, one must mention Miss Ai Ni who snatched the princess room Song Yunuan was staying in.

At the Zhong family banquet, Miss Ai Ni’s behavior was simply shocking.

Even now, there’s still a lot of people gossiping behind closed doors about what exactly happened.

At that time, not only did Ai Ni open the car door for Song Yunuan but she also followed behind her like a maid.

All these incidents linked together at least prove one thing, Song Yunuan is not the enemy of the Ai family.

Even with the way Ai Ni was treated, she did not become the Ai family’s enemy.

Especially now, it’s said that Old Master Ai is ill, and he hasn’t made an appearance for a long time.

The Ai Zhifeng couple, who used to love attending all sorts of events for fun, also haven’t been seen to date.

Without any news at all, many people are speculating about what exactly happened to the Ai family.

But no one knows for certain.

Just now in the study, Shangguan Heng truly went over everything from beginning to end, the more he thought about it, the more terrified he became.

He really couldn’t bring himself to make the call to hire an assassin.

Furthermore, with Sixth Master having spoken, ordinary people wouldn’t dare to take on such a task.

He would need to find some untraceable hitman, and even if he managed to get in contact, Song Yunuan might have already left Xiangjiang.

If Sixth Master found out about it, he didn’t know how he would be dealt with.

Shangguan Heng truly felt both regret and hatred.

He no longer regretted not having acted sooner. As long as Song Yunuan, this calamitous star, was around, even if he had acted earlier, the outcome would have been even worse than it was now.

What he regretted was why he agreed to his sister’s request back then; he should have not cared and not asked about anything.

If he had just turned a blind eye to her antics, wouldn’t he have avoided all of today’s troubles?

A venomous and fierce glare was directed at Xia Bowen.

Dammit!

Everything was Xia Bowen’s fault.

If it weren’t for Xia Bowen, his sister would not have become a stepmother to someone else’s child, nor would she have been bewitched into sending Xia Xindong over to him.

This damned Xia Bowen was the root of all disasters.

Xia Bowen met Shangguan Heng’s fierce and severely resentful gaze.

His heart was filled with bitterness.

He thought he had guessed Little Nuan’s purpose and even went along with what Little Nuan wanted.

He didn’t expect forgiveness from Little Nuan or anyone else; he just didn’t want to die in pain and regret.

But looking at Shangguan Heng’s gaze now, it seemed he was being dragged to hell with him.

Could this really be Little Nuan’s actual intention?

Just as Xia Bowen turned his head to look at Song Yunuan, Shangguan Heng suddenly pounced toward Xia Bowen.

Both men were of similar height and age, and unexpectedly, Shangguan Heng managed to tackle Xia Bowen squarely without any forewarning.

Xia Bowen quickly recovered and fiercely grabbed hold of Shangguan Heng’s shoulders.

Throwing dignity to the wind, Xia Bowen hissed through clenched teeth with venomous anger, "You still have the face to hate me, you thing worse than a dog; how could I, Xia Bowen, ever have wronged you or your sister? Without me, could you have taken over as the head of the Shangguan family? How would you have today?

In the end, this is how you repay me. I may have neglected them, I may not have treated them well, but that doesn’t mean you have any right to lay hands on them.

If you had an ounce of decency, even if Xia Xindong had fallen into your hands, you would have treated him well, and it would not have come to this.

All of this is your own doing, you deserve to die; it’s you who should die the most, you want to drag me down to hell with you, fine, let’s all die together."

Shangguan Heng was not to be outdone, "It’s because of your damn dog actions, you lead on and then abandon, you deceived my sister, you made her become someone else’s stepmother. If it wasn’t for your misdeeds, would she have lost her mind and done such a thing?

You also got her thrown in jail, do you think just because you haven’t divorced her, you’re a good person? You’re not, you’re even worse than a dog, you good-for-nothing, if you truly cared for her, you wouldn’t have let her end up in jail!"

Unlike typical men, Xia Bowen did not retort by saying it was his sister-in-law who actively seduced him, though that was, in fact, true.

But in front of Little Nuan, he couldn’t speak like that, at least he was still rational at the moment.

Although the two men were similar in height, there was a significant gap in strength.

Do not be fooled by Xia Bowen’s clerical job, he came from a martial background and could hit hard.

Xia Bowen first caught Shangguan Heng’s shoulders, then flipped over, pinning him down and started throwing punch after punch at him.

He wasn’t afraid even if Shangguan Heng or his family called the police; this was his uncle by marriage, a family matter, and besides, he was acting in self-defense.

Malice was also filling Shangguan Heng’s heart.

While fighting back, he shouted, "You think you’re ending up well now, you’re nothing but a dog. Coming to my house today, following Song Yunuan around like a barking dog..."

This outburst made Xia Bowen hesitated for a moment, giving Shangguan Heng the opportunity to flip over and pin down Xia Bowen, swinging his fists down at him.

Song Yunuan had been standing by, watching the commotion with surprise.

Two old men fighting and pulling at each other’s hair?

Ah, how unexpected.

But then Shangguan Heng dragged her into his attack on Xia Bowen, and Song Yunuan, who had intended to let them fight for a while, stepped forward.

However, Xia Bowen was still Xia Bowen after all.

He quickly turned the tables on Shangguan Heng.

Thus began a one-sided beating.

When Song Yunuan thought the fight was substantial enough, she feigned concern and said, "Oh my, both of you aren’t young anymore, why are you getting physical? Stop fighting, stop it, let’s sit down and talk this out properly..."

There were only the three of them in the living room.

The butler and the bodyguards were all outside.

Shangguan Heng had already given orders that no one was to come in without his command.

The butler outside did hear the curses coming from the living room.

Now was even less of a time to intrude.

Xia Bowen got up, with Shangguan Heng collapsed on the ground; a few moments later, he struggled up, wheezing and looking at Song Yunuan who was calmly watching from above.

Shangguan Heng, like a deflated ball, asked tearfully, "What will it take for you to let me go, can’t you give me a chance to repent?

I admit my mistake, I really do. If life could start over, I would never treat your uncle like that.

I’m already at this age, even if I barely survive, there aren’t many years left. Just tell me straight, what do you want to do before you can let me go?"

From on high, Song Yunuan looked down upon the defeated and disheveled Shangguan Heng sprawled on the ground.

Aiyo, poor thing didn’t see this coming.

Should I take a photo?
