Chapter 788 Xiao Mei’s Plight



After Song Yan treated Cui Deming, three days passed by in a blink of an eye, it was so peaceful these days that Song Yan could not help but question whether Cui Deming was keeping Chen Chu Chu busy enough. On the fourth morning, when she woke up she was surprised to find that everyone in the house seemed to have gone out except Old Master Fu. She was not even surprised when she found that Fu Yu Sheng was not at all, because of the sudden death of Chen Chu Chu's sister-in-law, the birthday banquet of Old Master Yan had to be pushed ahead. 

Though the banquet was pushed a few days ahead, Fu Yu Sheng could not stay at home and leave the company behind which was why he started to visit the closest branch of the Fu Corporation to deal with work matters. 

Song Yan quickly washed up and then finished her breakfast before she decided to go and check up on Xiao Mei. 

When Old Madam Yan saw that Song Yan had come to see her, she immediately ushered the latter inside the house. 

" Yan Yan, how are you? I am sorry because of our matter, your family has to stay in the district for a few more days." Old Madam Yan was a bit apologetic and annoyed when she thought about how she had to push the dates for her husband's birthday along with the arrangements as well.

She was very excited about the fiftieth birthday of her husband thinking that she will celebrate it with her friends and family but instead, she had to call everyone and tell them that they need to cancel their plans, many relatives had already gone back and asked her to tell them when the final ritual of the Chen family funeral would be done.

" There is no need to apologise, Grandma Yan," said Song Yan as she smiled at Old Madam Yan who was apologising to her. " This has nothing to do with your family, so why are you even saying sorry?" 

Before Old Madam Yan could say anything, Xiao Mei walked out of the room with her pregnant belly and then walked over to where Old Madam Yan was and said in a soft voice, " Mother, It seems that the milkman forgot to deliver milk to our house again, I will go and purchase another carton but please talk with him tomorrow." 

Old Madam Yan frowned but agreed, the old milkman had been delivering milk cartons to their house for a long time and had never missed a day but these days he had been missing for more than three days, a part of her wanted to call the old man to ask whether or not he was sick but her call had not been accepted and she had no desire to call him again. 

" Okay, you can go but come home soon, if the milkman comes tomorrow, I will give a piece of mind, he really has gotten a bit lax with our family treating him so kindly." Old Madam Yan huffed. 

Song Yan had not seen Xiao Mei for a long time, she was about to turn and greet Xiao Mei but then she was caught off guard. Behind Xiao Mei's head was a thick black mist floating, this black mist was none other than the cadaveric qi which lingered on the back of those who were about to die a brutal death. As she watched Xiao Mei turn around and leave after smiling at her, Song Yan witnessed the black mist which was only covering the back of Xiao Me's head surging ahead and then covering her entire face in one go.

Some of the black mist even covered Xiao Mei's belly, and Song Yan caught the hint of a red glow around the pregnant belly of Xiao Mei which showed that the child will suffer an even worse death than his mother. 

The more steps Xiao Mei took towards the door, the denser and heavier the black mist around Xiao Mei's belly and head became. 

Song Yan had seen tragic death occurring more than a hundred times in her two lives as a ghost and a human, she should have been calm when she saw something like this but Song Yan could not stay calm upon seeing Xiao Mei in danger, Yan Guo and Yan Bao had been like an elder brother to her when she was pregnant with Fu Chen, how can she stay calm upon seeing that Yan Bao's wife was in danger?

' The milkman had been missing and Xiao Mei was bringing the milk cartons?' 

Something snapped inside Song Yan's head and her face changed drastically as she suddenly rose from the couch and strode over to Xiao Mei's direction and caught her hand just as the latter was going to open the door and walk out of the house. 

" Sister Mei, where are you going? If you need milk then I will ask my housekeeper lady to bring some for you, our milkman arrived on time today," she paused and then added, "It's already going to be afternoon soon, I am afraid that you will get a stroke if you leave now." 

Xiao Mei was a bit surprised when she saw that Song Yan was pulling her back but seeing that she looked a bit nervous, she allowed Song Yan to drag her back just as she called the housekeeper lady to bring three cartons of milk to the Yan residence. 

Once Song Yan was done with the call, she did not let go of Xiao Mei instead she dragged her all the way to the couch and then pulled her down along with her as she sat down and then looked at Xiao Mei with a smile, " I am seeing you after such a long time, why don't we have a little chat?" 

As she spoke, she ignited the sleeping talisman with a quick snap of her fingers and then placed it on Xiao Mei's back making sure that she goes to sleep. 

Only then did Song Yan calmly ask, " Where are Brother Yan and Brother Bao and Brother Niu?" 

Where were they? And what were they doing leaving their pregnant sister-in-law and wife?
