267 I Never Forgot That I Have a Grandpa

When she woke up again, it was around eight. She dragged herself to the washroom, brushed her teeth, took a shower, and then wore a white blouse paired with a black skirt, that touched her knees. She then wrapped herself in a thermal coat and drove out of the mansion. 

It was an hour-long ride to the Song Mansion, where Song Guang was living at present. It had been a while since he moved out of C City to live his last remaining days in some small town situated far away from the hustle-bustle of cities.

He had moved back here after Song Chen was stabbed by Yue Ling, to be able to visit him conveniently. When Song Jia arrived, she didn't bother with any pleasantries with the maids and went straight to the nursery where Song Guang had planted a variety of tea leaves and flowers of her grandmother's choice. Whenever he was in Song Mansion, he always preferred to drink his morning tea in the pergola of the nursery, reminiscing about the memories of his late wife. 

As expected, she found Song Guang there in the nursery, reading a book and sipping on his tea leisurely.

"Grandpa!" Song Guang's wrinkled face brightened up by seeing his granddaughter so early in the morning, but he decided to replace it with a scowl instead. However, he still kept his book that he was reading, aside, to shift his entire focus on his granddaughter and this gesture didn't go unnoticed by Song Jia either.

"So you finally remember that you have a grandpa too?" He asked faking anger, as he took another sip of his tea.

Song Jia smiled softly seeing him behave so childlike. It was a good decision on her part to come and meet her grandfather, who had always had her back: he was her biggest source of strength and just seeing him eased her heart to some extent.

"No, because I never forgot that I have a grandpa." She went to stand next to his chair and cheekily hugged him from the side, which made the old man let out a brief laugh, throwing his anger out the window. A maid came up soon after and poured her some tea before she was dismissed by Song Guang. 

"How are you doing child? Ever since that wretched woman came to your life, you have never had a peaceful day. I hope that punk Zhang is treating you well, because if he isn't, then tell your grandpa. I will make sure to give him a good beating."

A stiff smile appeared on Song Jia's face. "Actually, I will have to find him first for you to do that."

Song Guang raised a brow and placed his teacup on the table. "What do you mean?"

After making sure that no one was around, she spoke in a voice that was loud enough for only Song Guang to hear, "Grandpa... Wu Zhang is missing!"

Song Jia felt that uneasiness seep into her once again and clawed her heart even more tightly this time. A sad look appeared on her face as she said, "He went to take care of some official matter in F City and was supposed to return five days back. We managed to find his injured assistant, but he is comatose and we have no knowledge of Wu Zhang's whereabouts."

"That is rather strange to be able to lay a hand on someone of his status." Only a bunch of people who were assigned to find Wu Zhang had the knowledge of him gone missing, other than that the news had been completely sealed, hence even Song Guang didn't know about it. "Do you think there is a mole?"

"Yes, I have my doubts about it, but it's hard to say anything before we get any concrete information. But the search is still going on."

"I will get some of my people as well, to look into it."

"No grandpa!" Song Jia immediately refused, which made Song Guang frown.

"Why not?"

"Don't take me wrong, grandpa. I just don't want any extra people to find out about it. This is very sensitive information and its leak can cause havoc in the Wu Corporations. Also, Wu Zihao has got people to look into it already and I expect that we'll find a breakthrough by noon."

"Alright then, But if you need any help, don't think twice to come to Grandpa, ok?" 

"Of course Grandpa." Song Jia bobbed her head. 

"So what if I can't help you with your search, I have something else that will surely uplift your mood."

Song Jia looked at him and Song Guang flashed a gentle smile.

"My old age has made me so forgetful I called you here for that and forgot about it altogether." Song Guang chuckled lightly before getting up from his chair, holding his walking stick. " Come I will show you. It is in the room next to yours."

Song Jia's mouth twitched at the mention of her room. She was surprised to know that she still had a room for herself here. Given to Yue Ling's temperament and her hatred for Song Jia, she was sure that she would have converted her old room into a storeroom by now. Even though she hid her surprise immediately, and schooled her features back to normal in just a few seconds, Song Guang, nevertheless noticed it; just that he decided to not make any comment over it.

"Come let me take you to see them." With that, Song Guang turned to walk towards the mansion and Song Jia immediately followed after him without waiting any longer. 

When they entered the room, Song Jia saw two little bumps on the large bed. She went closer and gently lifted the blanket to reveal the faces of Lin Mei and Lin Fang sleeping in the bed peacefully.
