Though Xue Tao’s mother held a grudge against Song Yunxuan, she knew that her husband was right.
Even though the Xue Family suffered losses, they could not make the Song Family pay the price now.
In that case, there was no point in cursing Song Yunxuan.
Thinking this way, more tears flew down from Xue Tao’s mother’s face. She complained, “What did we do to make us get into such a plight?”
The doctor who walked out along with Xue Tao saw how Xue Tao’s parents reacted when Xue Tao was wheeled out of the operation room.
The doctor had a history with Song Yunxuan.
Therefore, when the doctor received Song Yunxuan’s call and heard that she wanted to know how Xue Tao’s parents reacted seeing what happened to their son, he told her about it immediately.
“Xue Tao’s mother has been crying bitterly when seeing what happened to Manager Xue.”
Song Yunxuan was not surprised at the doctor’s words at all.
Indeed, no parents in the world would not feel sad when seeing that their children were badly hurt.
Nevertheless, Xue Tao deserved it.
If Xue Tao hadn’t planned to betray her, it would have been impossible for him to be in the hospital.
Perhaps Xue Tao should feel lucky now.
He should feel lucky that Song Yunxuan didn’t do something more brutal to him.
If he had betrayed her in old times when Song Yunxuan fought fiercely with the Xue Family, he would have suffered much more than just being hit by a car and sent to the hospital.
He would lose his legs for good.
Song Yunxuan felt that Xue Tao should feel lucky that she had mercy on him. However, the Xue Family had no idea about it.
When lying on the bed, she was still thinking about how to deal with the Xue Family.
She was thinking so hard that she even didn’t notice when Chu Mochen got on the bed.
When he reached out and pulled her into his arms, she was startled. Then she sat up on the bed, turned her head, and asked, “Who is that?”
In the room, the orange lamp was on.
When she saw that it was Chu Mochen, she frowned and asked a little crossly, “Why didn’t you tell me that you entered?”
“You’ve been spaced-out lately. I’m wondering what you are thinking about.” Chu Mochen reached out and gently pushed her hair behind her ear.
Song Yunxuan lowered her eyes, replying in a low voice, “Lots of things to deal with.”
“Didn’t you figure out a way?”
Chu Mochen knew that Song Yunxuan had been thinking about Song Yunying’s affair. But as Zhou Ziyan took the initiative to visit her, Song Yunxuan saved a lot of time as she didn’t have to find him and it was easier to keep the secret.
“Though Zhou Ziyan visited me, I can’t let down my guard. Besides, affairs concerning the Xue Family…”
“They can’t make a big difference. Don’t worry. I’ll always be around.”
Chu Mochen’s words both encouraged her and comforted her.
However, she knew that she couldn’t completely rely on Chu Mochen.
“As long as you are around, it seems that nothing can make me afraid no matter how things develop.” Song Yunxuan looked at Chu Mochen smilingly.
Chu Mochen reached out and gently pulled her into his arms, asking her, “In this case, why were you startled when I touched you just now?”
“It was your fault. You approached me without even making a sound. No one will not be startled.” Song Yunxuan looked at him, and she still seemed to blame him.
Chu Mochen looked at her with a gentle smile and coaxed her, “You are right. I’ll greet you the next time I enter. In that way, I won’t startle you.”
Song Yunxuan shook her head smilingly. It seemed that she didn’t believe him as he was just being perfunctory.
Sensing that it was already late, Chu Mochen tucked her quilt, saying, “It’s a bit late. You should go to sleep now.”
Song Yunxuan nodded, “You too.”
Chu Mochen smiled, replying, “I’ll sleep here. If you have a nightmare at night, you can reach me easily.”
Song Yunxuan burst into a laugh, replying, “What nightmares can I have?”
In her previous nightmares, she dreamt of no one else except Shao Tianze and Gu Changle. Sometimes she dreamt of Song Yunjia.
But what was the use of dreaming of these people?
Song Yunjia had already died, and Shao Tianze and Gu Changle would return everything that once belonged to her sooner or later.
Perhaps her life-long nightmare was the thing that her legs were amputated in the hospital.
But as she had those nightmares again and again, they became less frightening.
People’s capability of adapting was strong and tough. As long as one had suffered a lot of times, he or she would gradually become brave.
She closed her eyes and prepared to sleep.
Chu Mochen pulled her into his arms and gently held her.
The light had been turned off by him.
He would feel at ease as long as he was holding Song Yunxuan.
He liked the feeling and hoped Song Yunxuan could be with him forever.
So he would try his best to help her in order to protect her.
As long as Chu Mochen was holding her, Song Yunxuan would always sleep a bit more soundly. It was strange that she didn’t have nightmares tonight.
She slept soundly tonight.
Meanwhile, Zhou Ziyan, Xue Tao, and Xue Tao’s parents couldn’t sleep well tonight.
Zhou Ziyan stayed up all night, and he finally thought of a way to reply to Song Yunxuan.
Therefore, Zhou Ziyan got impatient and called Song Yunxuan at seven thirty the next morning.
When receiving Zhou Ziyan’s call, none of the servants of the Song Family knew who he was.
So the housekeeper went to ask Song Yunxuan, “Miss Song, a man named Zhou Ziyan wanted to speak to you on the phone.”
At that time, Song Yunxuan just got out of bed.
She saw that the housekeeper was standing at the door and was too embarrassed to enter.
She reached out, replying, “Give me the phone.”
Seeing that Song Yunxuan wanted the phone, the housekeeper presented it to her.
Song Yunxuan put the phone close to her ear and asked when hearing that there was no one talking on the other end, “Mr. Zhou, have you made a decision?”
“Yes, yes!” Zhou Ziyan was more than just making a decision.
He had even made a plan for the future.
As long as he could get the money from Song Yunxuan, he would be able to travel around the world to squander it.
He was not interested in such a woman like Song Yunying at all.
He curried favor with the Song Family because he wanted Song Yunxuan to believe that he loved Song Yunying and get a large amount of money.
Song Yunxuan knew about Zhou Ziyan’s scheme. So she stroked her hair after hearing Zhou Ziyan said yes. She asked him with interest, “When are you going to take my sister out of Yuncheng?”
Zhou Ziyan’s voice became low, and it seemed that words stuck in his throat, “Yunxuan, it’s a bit tricky…”
Song Yunxuan raised her eyebrows, replying, “As long as you and my sister love each other, what can be in your way?”
“Yunxuan, it’s not that I don’t love Yunying. It’s just that I may not have enough money to raise a kid, rent a house, and live on if I take Yunying out of Yuncheng.”
His explanation was somewhat farfetched.
Thinking of the limousine Zhou Ziyan drove over, Song Yunxuan asked him, “Don’t you have a bit savings?”
“Even if I do, Yunying will feel the life is poor.”
Song Yunying was a spoiled rich daughter of the Song Family, though the Song Family had all been controlled by Song Yunxuan.
But after marrying to the Xue Family, Song Yunying didn’t receive any unfair treatment.
If Zhou Ziyan had insisted on taking her away with him, the expense would have been high as he needed to raise a kid.
Zhou Ziyan feared that Song Yunxuan couldn’t understand his plan and difficulty. He explained to Song Yunxuan, “Yunying and I have different family backgrounds. I can suffer hard times, but Yunying will feel tired as she has always been spoiled, and she just had a baby. If she lives a poor life with me, she will go crazy.”
Song Yunxuan waited until Zhou Ziyan finished his words. Then she nodded and echoed, seeming that she agreed, “You are thoughtful. Actually, I’ve thought about it. After all, my sister has never lived a hard life before. It’s better for her to live in the Xue Family than to lead a hard life with you. Isn’t that right, brother-in-law?”
Zhou Ziyan was about to nod.
However, he instantly realized that Song Yunxuan might say that to set him up.
If he had said yes, Song Yunxuan would probably have taken the opportunity to say that she would let Song Yunying continue living in the Xue Family instead of letting her leave Yuncheng with him.
And he couldn’t refute her or have any reason to ask the Song Family for money.
Thinking of this, he immediately changed the subject, “That’s right. But I still want to live with Yunying and my child. After all, we are family.”
Hearing Zhou Ziyan’s words, Song Yunxuan knew that Zhou Ziyan had seen through her trap.
She sighed in her heart that Zhou Ziyan was not a complete fool.
But after saying that, Zhou Ziyan added, “Yunxuan, I want you to help me.”
Zhou Ziyan had the cheek to ask Song Yunxuan to help him.
Song Yunxuan could not refuse him now.
So she asked him, “What do you want me for, brother-in-law?”
