Chapter 664 - - His Woman

Hearing Song Yunxuan’s question, the woman repeated what she said just now.

“Miss Song, I said that my son and I were short of cash. As Mochen has gone, I wonder if you could lend some money to us.”

Song Yunxuan smiled briefly, asking, “You and your son?”

The woman replied, a bit sheepish, “Yes. We, we have a son.”

Song Yunxuan wrinkled her brows and did not immediately reply to her.

After finishing her words, the woman continued in a wobbly voice as she didn’t get Song Yunxuan’s reply, “Miss Song, could you help us?”

Song Yunxuan sneered. She could believe the woman’s words, or she could consider her a clown.

She wanted to turn the woman down right away.

But just as Song Yunxuan was about to refuse her, curiosity crossed her mind.

She pondered for a moment and sighed, asking the woman wearily, “What’s your name?”

“Xia Binger.”

Xia Binger…

Song Yunxuan pondered over the name and then remembered that she had once heard of the name before.

And it was familiar to everyone in Yuncheng.

“Xia Binger from the SA Entertainment?”

Hearing Song Yunxuan mentioned the SA Entertainment, the woman immediately replied, “Yes, yes. I am.”

Song Yunxuan leaned back on the bedhead, looked out into the blackness of the night, and then said slowly, “Haven’t you gone abroad?”

Song Yunxuan was familiar with the name Xia Binger. Even though she didn’t pay much attention to showbiz, she had heard about the name as Xia Binger had been popular for such a while two years ago.

She was a 1.58-meter tall, lovable, and pure-style starlet.

Perhaps it was inappropriate to call her a starlet because she had been very famous in showbiz two years ago.

Not only was she popular, but she also had the possibility of rocketing to international stardom.

However, it was strange that Xia Binger suddenly quitted showbiz and vanished when she was enjoying great popularity.

Many said that she married a rich man and went abroad to be a housewife.

But Song Yunxuan didn’t care about such hearsay as she had never been interested in showbiz.

But out of her expectation, Xia Binger took the initiative to call her today.

“How much do you need?”

“Mochen gave me and Boer 300,000 per month.”

Song Yunxuan smiled, replying, “Just a small amount. You need to raise a child. If you want to go back to showbiz, you may even need 30 million per month. Speaking of which, why did you quit showbiz?”

Xia Binger hesitated for a moment and then replied, “Because Mochen didn’t want me to appear in public.”

“I see.”

Song Yunxuan pondered for a moment.

Xia Binger nodded at the other end of the phone.

Then Song Yunxuan asked, “How old is your son?”

“Only two.”

Song Yunxuan calculated the time from which Xia Binger had been away from showbiz and felt that she was telling the truth.

Song Yunxuan lowered her eyes, saying, “I’ll give you the money in person.”

Xia Binger felt grateful as Song Yunxuan agreed, and her voice trembled with excitement, “Thank you, Miss Song. Thank you so much for helping us at this critical moment.”

Song Yunxuan was uninterested in her gratitude.

After Xia Binger finished her words, Song Yunxuan remained silent for a moment and asked her, “Is he really Mochen’s son?”

Xia Binger nodded, saying firmly, “Yes.”

“How did you meet each other?”

Hearing Song Yunxuan’s question, Xia Binger hesitated for a moment and then replied, “Miss Song, it’s a long story. Let me tell you about it in person, OK?”

But Song Yunxuan showed no inclination to hang up. She continued asking, “Why did you choose to ask me for money? Since you’ve had Mochen’s child, you should contact the Chu Family.”

Xia Binger explained when hearing Song Yunxuan’s doubt, “I’ve considered that. But Mochen didn’t want me to tell his family about the son before he died.”

“Why?”

“Because he thought I was unworthy of marrying into the Chu Family or giving him a child.”

“So how did you bring your son into the world?”

Song Yunxuan continued asking Xia Binger.

Xia Binger hesitated for a moment before replying slowly, “One day, Mochen was drunk. So I…”

Hearing that, Song Yunxuan could understand how the child was born.

“Meet me at the Eastern International Exhibition Hotel at three p.m. tomorrow.”

Xia Binger agreed, replying, “OK. I’ll be there on time. Thank you, Miss Song.”

Song Yunxuan didn’t feel like continuing the conversation, so she hung up after hearing that.

Then Song Yunxuan pondered for a while and called Mei Qi.

Mei Qi felt strange as Song Yunxuan called him at this time of the day. He greeted, “Manager Song.”

“A woman called me and said that she had Chu Mochen’s child, and Chu Mochen kept her for two years.”

Hearing that, Mei Qi pondered for a moment and replied, “She was probably lying to you.”

Song Yunxuan smiled, “I second that. But I’m still going to meet her.”

“Why did she come to you?”

“Since Chu Mochen has gone, the woman can’t possibly come to show me up with her child.” Song Yunxuan analyzed.

When a woman called another woman because of a man, she would always fight for the man’s favor or show off mischievously.

But neither of the situations applied to Xia Binger.

Because Chu Mochen had died.

It was unnecessary for Xia Binger to show off to Song Yunxuan in person for a dead man.

So neither of the situations applied. Song Yunxuan didn’t understand why Xia Binger took the initiative to call her.

“She told me that when Chu Mochen was alive, he gave her 300,000 per month to raise her child. Now that Chu Mochen is dead, they have no source of income and are short of money. Thus she called me and hoped that I could give her some money to live on.”

“Just this?”

Mei Qi frowned.

Song Yunxuan smiled, replying, “Yes. The reason is simple.”

“When are you going to meet her?”

“Tomorrow, at three p.m.”

“What’s her name? I can run a check on her.”

This was just what Song Yunxuan wanted.

Song Yunxuan smiled, saying, “Sorry to trouble you.”

Mei Qi felt helpless to some extent, saying, “Come on. Even if I hadn’t mentioned that, you would have asked me to run a check on her, right?”

Song Yunxuan couldn’t help chuckling. Then she said, “Her name is Xia Binger.”

Hearing the name Xia Binger, Mei Qi knitted his brows, asking, “You mean the inland starlet Xia Binger?”

“Yes.”

Song Yunxuan nodded.

Mei Qi frowned, becoming silent.

Sensing that Mei Qi got silent, Song Yunxuan asked him curiously, “What? Problem?”

“Well, no. It’s just that I feel this woman has stories.”

“What stories?”

“A lot. And…” Mei Qi paused and then continued, “Before Xia Binger quitted showbiz, she was nominated for Best Actress at the AS film festival.”

“So with that said, she does have a talent for establishing herself in showbiz.”

“But she quitted too early. If she could have stayed in showbiz, she might have been a female star as famous as Huo Ying.”

Song Yunxuan smiled, saying, “As for why she chose to quit showbiz at the peak, please find it out, Assistant Mei. I’m very curious about it.”

“I will.”

Mei Qi had always been highly efficient in running a check on someone.

Two hours after the call, Mei Qi had finished the background check on Xia Binger and sent the relevant materials to Song Yunxuan’s laptop.

Though Xia Binger’s phone call made Song Yunxuan unhappy, it didn’t get in her way of sleeping.

After lying in the bed for tens of minutes, she got drowsy and fell asleep.

As Song Yunxuan was pregnant, the housekeeper would always get Song Yunxuan up much later than usual the next morning.

It was about nine o’clock when Song Yunxuan was awakened. She took a look at her laptop and noticed that there was a new email.

She walked over and opened the email. Then she saw Xia Binger’s profile.

It seemed that Mei Qi had told the housekeeper to keep him informed. After Song Yunxuan woke up, Mei Qi called her and said good morning.

While talking to Mei Qi on the phone, Song Yunxuan quickly browsed through Xia Binger’s profile.

When reading Xia Binger’s development in showbiz and her award nominations, Song Yunxuan slightly knitted her brows.

Mei Qi asked her, “Have you read the profile I sent to you?”

“I’m reading it now.”

Song Yunxuan told Mei Qi.

Mei Qi sensibly stopped talking and patiently waited for Song Yunxuan to finish reading the profile.

Song Yunxuan soon finished reading Xia Binger’s profile.

Then she asked Mei Qi, “Is that all her profile?”

“Yeah, it should be. I investigated Xia Binger’s three previous agents, her bestie, and her rivals in showbiz.”

“What about her family?”

“Her father died of illness last year. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she hadn’t been in contact with her mother for more than 20 years. So I can’t pump her mother for any information even if I do.”

After hearing Mei Qi out, Song Yunxuan slightly lowered her eyes. Then she took a look at the TV plays and films Xia Binger once acted in, saying, “OK, I’ve got it.”

Mei Qi asked Song Yunxuan again, “Do you need me to accompany you to see Xia Binger this afternoon?”

“Yes. Let’s see what kind of woman Chu Mochen kept.”
