After Gu Miaomiao’s funeral was over, the news soon reached Harbor City.
Both the Luo Family and the Zang Family in Harbor City got the news, but Gu Yi seemed to live in a fortress surrounded by iron sheets where no relevant information could pass.
Because of Gu Miaomiao’s death, Zang Linger had been planning to go to Yuncheng.
As it happened, Shao Xue had the same idea.
Shao Xue had contacted Zang Linger several times, hoping that she could take her along when she went to Yuncheng.
However, Zang Linger’s answer was cutting.
“You are a living person, not a thing. How can I take you back to Yuncheng without a word?”
In the Luo Family, Zang Linger said to Shao Xue while drinking tea.
Shao Xue frowned and said, “But if you don’t take me back and I can’t go back by myself, I will not be able to see Yunxuan for several years.”
Zang Linger put down the teacup and sincerely persuaded her, “You don’t need to go back to Yuncheng and see Song Yunxuan now.”
Luo Xi said sarcastically, “You’ll only bring her trouble if you go to Yuncheng now.”
Shao Xue creased her brow tightly, “But she must be very sad now.”
Zang Linger also sighed, “Even so, you don’t need to worry too much. Song Yunxuan has experienced many great upheavals. Such a small matter can’t crush her. Just rest assured.”
“But…”
“No buts. All in all, you can’t go back.” Luo Xi looked at Shao Xue and bluntly said, “Now the Song Family is having a hard time. If you go back, you will be more of a hindrance than a helper. Song Yunxuan doesn’t have the energy to take care of you, and Shao Tianze will not let you go.”
Zang Linger held the teacup and nodded in agreement, “He’s right.”
Then, Shao Xue went silent.
After considering for a while, Zang Linger asked Shao Xue, “What is your hatred with Shao Tianze? Why did you turn against him?”
Zang Linger’s questions aroused Luo Xi’s interest.
Luo Xi also turned to look at Shao Xue.
Recalling the feud between herself and Shao Tianze, Shao Xue pursed her lips and said, “Can I not tell you?”
“As long as you tell us, we can help you.”
“Of course, even if you don’t tell us, we will still protect you. However, that is for the sake of Song Yunxuan. We will protect you, but not help you.” Zang Linger explained it clearly.
Then, she waited for Shao Xue’s choice.
Shao Xue hesitated for a while before saying, “You have known that I am not his real sister.”
“Yes.” Zang Linger nodded.
She was not surprised at all.
Because she had found out that when she was investigating before.
Now she wanted to know what other vendettas Shao Xue had against Shao Tianze.
“My parents adopted Shao Tianze from the orphanage.”
Zang Linger and Luo Xi also knew a little about it, but they weren’t clear about the whole story.
Shao Xue pursed her lips and clenched her fingers a little. Then, she said, “But after my parents brought him up, Shao Tianze bit the hands that fed him.”
When Shao Xue said those words, Zang Linger almost guessed what happened later.
“What did he do?” Luo Xi hadn’t figured it out and asked a silly question.
Feeling ashamed for his sense, Zang Linger said, “I guess he killed his foster parents to prevent Gu Changge from knowing his background.”
Luo Xi was dubious, “How did you know?”
Zang Linger glanced at him, “Judging by what Shao Tianze, an inhuman b*stard, has done, isn’t it obvious?”
Zang Linger was a shrewd judge of character.
And her speculation was accurate.
Before Shao Xue confirmed it, Luo Xi still didn’t believe it and continued to ask her, “What happened afterward?”
“He lied about my father’s illness and bought off the surgeon. During the operation, my father was murdered.”
“How about your mother?”
“She also died this way. After my father died, she had been depressed. Her health was getting worse and worse. She went to the hospital for an examination and was told that she had a heart problem and needed a major operation. Shao Tianze offered the money. But my mother also died during the operation.”
Speaking of these, Shao Xue couldn’t help feeling sad.
Luo Xi felt sorry for her. He stretched out his hand and held her hand gently.
Seeing that Luo Xi was holding Shao Xue’s hand, Zang Linger shook her head lightly and commented, “Shao Tianze has great ambitions. When he did these, he certainly did not leave evidence carelessly. Your parents raised him and knew too much, so he killed them.”
“Even if he didn’t kill them, my parents would never go to him or drag him down according to their nature if he refused to come back. However, even so, he still didn’t let them off.”
“He indeed returned the kindness with viciousness.”
Zang Linger nodded and felt sorry for Shao Xue.
Luo Xi said again, “Did you stay in the Shao Family for so long because Song Yunxuan promised to avenge you?”
“In fact, it was also Song Yunxuan’s plan that I met Shao Tianze again and entered the Shao Family.”
“But she didn’t allow you to do anything.” Zang Linger said.
Shao Xue lowered her eyes, “Many times, I wanted to kill him myself. However, Yunxuan has always opposed me doing this.”
Hearing her words, Zang Linger sighed, “Song Yunxuan always took her revenge without much fight or blood. Even though it was difficult sometimes, she tried to protect herself as much as possible. She doesn’t allow you to act because she wants to protect you. Think about it. If you kill Shao Tianze, no matter whether you succeed or not, it will cost you your life.”
“Yes. I also thought about these.” Shao Xue gritted her teeth, “But it doesn’t matter even if I sacrifice my life as long as I avenge my parents.”
“When Shao Tianze murdered your parents, he didn’t risk his life. If you die or go to jail for revenge, don’t you think it’s not worth it?”
“As long as my goal can be achieved, it is not unworthy.”
In the days when Shao Xue had just lost her parents, she thought about revenge day and night.
It did not matter if the price she had to pay was her own life.
However, after she knew Song Yunxuan, Song Yunxuan did not allow her to do it herself anyway.
Shao Xue could understand Song Yunxuan’s idea of protecting her.
Therefore, she treated Miaomiao and Gu Miaomiao kindly.
However, she didn’t expect such a thing to happen just after she got married and moved from Yuncheng to Harbor City.
She was sad and felt worried about Song Yunxuan.
Because she knew that in Song Yunxuan’s heart, the two children were very important to her.
Shao Xue was eager to rush back to Yuncheng. Both Luo Xi and Zang Linger didn’t approve of her going back.
Now the hatred between Shao Xue and Shao Tianze had been clarified.
Zang Linger went on persuading her, “Since you know that Shao Tianze is such a person, why do you want to go back at such a dangerous time?”
Luo Xi echoed, “He killed your parents, which shows that he may also kill you. You’d better stay in Harbor City.”
“He’s right. If you are in Harbor City, you can at least take care of Gu Yi. Miaomiao is dead. But if you take good care of Gu Yi for Yunxuan, it could be regarded as helping Yunxuan.”
These words calmed Shao Xue a bit.
Luo Xi and Zang Linger were right.
Although Yunxuan had lost Miaomiao, she had Gu Yi.
Yunxuan definitely didn’t want any accident to befall Gu Yi.
It would be enough for her to take good care of Gu Yi in Harbor City.
Seeing Shao Xue gradually calm down, Zang Linger said, “I know that you worry about Yunxuan. When I go to Yuncheng and meet Yunxuan, I will tell her your concerns.”
Shao Xue puckered her lips and looked up at Zang Linger, “Please tell Yunxuan that I will take good care of Gu Yi. She need not worry.”
“OK.”
Zang Linger and Shao Xue came to an agreement.
Then, Zang Linger left the Luo Family.
Luo Xi sent Zang Linger out.
After Zang Linger got in the car, he went to tap the window glass lightly.
Zang Linger lowered the car window and asked him, “What else?”
“Nothing particularly. I just want to ask if you know about White Dragon King’s disappearance.”
Learning that Luo Xi had known about it, Zang Linger frowned and said, “I have no idea.”
“Alright. Nothing else.”
Luo Xi asked her about this matter, but she wouldn’t talk about it.
Because it was too sensitive to talk about it at the moment, even if she knew it in her heart.
She’d better investigate secretly.
Many people in Thailend had heard that White Dragon King was missing.
However, only Song Yunxuan and the Yuan Family knew the inside story.
Yuan Xi had followed Ding Tong back to Yuncheng.
Yuan Xi had promised to marry Ding Tong, so Ding Tong set about arranging the wedding as soon as she returned to Yuncheng.
Yuan Xi thought it was not good to hold the wedding too early. And they hadn’t settled Song Yunxuan’s matter.
He said to Ding Tong, “The wedding will be too hasty. Let’s get engaged first.”
Ding Tong heard that Yuan Xi wanted to postpone the wedding again.
She did not refuse, saying, “Okay. I listen to you. Anyway, now I am not afraid of you leaving me.”
As she was saying, she put her arms around Yuan Xi’s neck.
She stood on tiptoe and kissed Yuan Xi on his lips.
Yuan Xi had been accustomed to her behavior. After she released him, Yuan Xi raised his hand and touched his forehead, “You need to pay attention to White Dragon King’s affairs.”
“Don’t worry. I have been following him closely. It will take the old guy at least half a month to recover. At that time, I will pump him for the way to deal with Song Yunxuan.”
“It’s easy to talk. How can White Dragon King tell you easily?”
“I have all kinds of methods.” Ding Tong smiled viciously.
“Don’t torture him to death again.” Yuan Xi was afraid that she would overdo it.
Ding Tong smiled, “Don’t worry. I won’t.”
