"The old man who was just here, he was searching for this potion, weren't he? What's your relationship with them?"
"Overall, they're some of those hidden powerful families, with might like an iceberg—what you see is only the tip. They stole almost three-quarters of my experimental samples to conduct their own research, but without the ancient texts' instructions, nobody can successfully replicate it. This potion is likely what they wanted to improve upon."
Hearing this, Song Yun's brows furrowed deeply. Hidden powerful families sounded incredibly formidable, and with his current strength, he probably seemed no more threatening than a frail chick to them.
"So, you and mother started a life on the run because of this?"
"You've got it wrong; traveling with your mother still took up a major part. After all, your father here had used quite a number of successful samples back then—those families' lackeys didn't stand a chance!"
Holy shit!!!
His old man was an absolute badass!!!
Trying all sorts of things himself! He wasn't afraid of any mishaps leading to problems with his body!
I'm impressed, truly impressed!!!
"So, do you plan to keep running now that you're back?"
"Running away is pointless now. Your little self has become quite famous, and one day if they threaten me with your life, I will have to return to the country."
Song Bu sighed deeply. He had originally hoped that Song Yun could live a peaceful life, but who knew there would be so many unexpected variables!
"It's all because I'm too outstanding!"
Song Yun also felt troubled—if he had known about all this, he would have kept a much lower profile!
"Ah, it's my fault! It's all because my genes are too strong!"
"No, no, no. Hard work is also very important!"
"Without innate talent, all the hard work in the world is futile!"
"Then tell me about the story of the Four Flowers of Forty-nine City! I heard that back then, not only were you and mother on good terms, but you also had a... relationship with the other three aunts..."
Hearing this, Song Bu immediately covered Song Yun's mouth with his hand, his face bitter as he said, "Where on earth did you hear that from?"
"Ouyang Jie told me!"
"Ouyang Shu's grandson? Damn it! Wait till I get to Forty-nine City to give him a good thrashing!"
"You haven't told me yet!"
"What's there to say! If your mother hears this, she'll kill me!"
Song Bu, heart racing, opened the study door and looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping before letting out a sigh of relief.
"Don't listen to those bastards' nonsense. Back in Forty-nine City, I was known as 'Wholesome Young Master Song'! Whatever Four Flowers, Five Flowers, I have no idea!"
"You and your nonsense!"
Bai Qiu glanced disapprovingly at her husband. Is it really okay for you, as the father-in-law, to say such things in front of your daughter-in-law?
"Mom, dad, let me formally introduce you, this is my wife, Ye Qingqing."
Song Yun wrapped his arm around Ye Qingqing's waist, noticing his wife shiver slightly. It was clear she cared a lot about her in-laws' opinion.
"Hello, my dear daughter-in-law, from now on you're part of the Song Family. If anyone dares to bully you, just tell me, and I'll take care of their entire family for you!"
Song Bu said with a carefree laugh, "Actually, I always wanted a daughter. It's just that Yun wasn't much of an achiever, being a boy. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had to worry so much!"
"What are you talking about!"
Bai Qiu pinched a soft bit of flesh at her husband's waist and gave it a hard twist.
"Qingqing, as your mother-in-law, I didn't know what to prepare for our first meeting. This is the family heirloom that Song Yun's grandmother gave to me, and I'm passing it on to you now!"
Bai Qiu slipped the dark yellow gold ring off her ring finger and then took Ye Qingqing's hand, placing it on hers.
"The ring is also called 'borrowing a child,' hoping you will bring several more to the Song Family."
"Thank you, auntie... no, I mean, thank you, mom..."
Ye Qingqing looked down at the blush on her little face, her eyes fixed on the ring with unstoppable joy.
"No need to thank me. After all, it's our Song Family who should apologize to you. We didn't even have a wedding for such a big event. You've been wronged, Qingqing."
"It's not a wrong, as long as I can be with Song Yun, it's worth it!"
"Good child, once all this is over, your mother-in-law promises you, we will hold a wedding of the century for you!"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship seemed to be very harmonious. As long as the two most important women in his life didn't have any conflicts, Song Yun was deeply grateful!
"Song Yun, arrange it, let's have a simple dinner with your father-in-law and mother-in-law tonight."
Bai Qiu instructed, "Husband, you go deal with those untrustworthy people. I heard that the Nangong Family was harsh on our son at that time! And luckily, my son was lucky. Otherwise, I would never let those people from the Nangong Family off the hook!"
Her own husband was once a figure who made a name for himself in Forty-nine City, and her son was also coming into his own. With these two men as her backbone, she naturally felt full of confidence. Explore hidden tales at m,v l'-novelhall.net
"Alright, wife, just you wait and see!" Song Bu agreed and slipped away quietly.
"Mom, dad won't get into trouble, will he?"
With the situation so complicated now, could dad really handle it?
"Don't worry, even though your father has been out of the public eye for many years, some people still have to give him some face," Bai Qiu tiptoed and, filled with maternal love, gently touched Song Yun's head: "It's been tough for you, being on your own these years."
"It's all in the past."
"Yes, it's all in the past..." Bai Qiu seemed very reflective: "Did your father say everything he needed to say?"
