C231 To Welcome You
Tiankui drove the car at top speed.
Soong Shiyan sat in the passenger seat, her eyes closed and her brow furrowed in thought.
She never knew that Xiaohu's real name was Jing Chen. It looks like, when Xiaohu and Cen Mu first arrived at Huo Family, the Old Master had already sent people to investigate his identity in advance. Thus, when Ye Zichen had helped her and Xiaohu fake their identities, the old man had given Xiaohu a new identity using the name 'Jing Chen'.
As for the information in the file, Soong Shiyan didn't pay much attention to it. From the looks of it, the old gramps adopted her directly as Xiaohu's guardian.
Soong Shiyan couldn't help but sigh at the thought of this. Right now, taking care of Xiaohu for her grandma was the only thing she could do, so she had to make Xiaohu happy and healthy!
… ….
Tiankui drove for more than four hours before they finally arrived at Huo Family.
Ever since Tiankui had walked through the gates of Huo Family, she had been somewhat shocked and amazed. Although Soong Family Manor was meticulously crafted from many things, and was obviously luxurious, compared to the manor in Huo Family, it had lost a bit of its historical feeling, and had lost a bit of the accumulation of time.
Today, there was something going on at the company. Huo Chenglieh and Huo Mingyang had both gone to the company, and only Chiang Shuru, the half of the owner, was at home. When Chiang Shuru heard that Jing Sung had returned, she couldn't even cover her face anymore, so she stood up to greet her.
"Yo, Jing Sung is back?" Before Soong Shiyan and Tiankui could get out of the car, Chiang Shuru walked out of the living room and said to her with a smile.
Soong Shiyan and Tiankui had just gotten out of the car when they saw Chiang Shuru standing by the door, looking at them with a face full of smiles.
Seeing the smiling Chiang Shuru, Soong Shiyan frowned slightly. Not long ago, she sent Chiang Zhongkang to prison, and this Chiang Shuru even angrily called her, cursing her to die a horrible death. It hadn't been long since this incident had happened, so how could Chiang Shuru become so passionate towards her? Perhaps, it was Huo Mingyang who said something to Chiang Shuru?
However, this Chiang Shuru really couldn't grasp the proper timing. With such a drastic change in attitude, no matter who it was, everyone would suspect that she had intentions!
But as the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Now that Chiang Shuru was so "friendly" to her, Soong Shiyan naturally couldn't just directly slap her in her face in front of everyone else. Therefore, Soong Shiyan also pulled out a smile, looked at Chiang Shuru, and slowly said, "Oh, so it's Lady Jiang!" I just came back for a trip, how can I trouble you to come out and welcome me? "
Hearing this, the smile on Chiang Shuru's face froze. This title of "Lady Jiang" was truly displeasing to the eye! However, now that she thought about what her son had said and how Jing Sung would soon fall in love with her son and end up with nothing, Chiang Shuru's heart felt quite carefree. Therefore, she didn't bother with Jing Sung anymore.
"Jing Sung, I heard that your brother has a fever. I wanted to call you to inform you, but I didn't expect that the housekeeper would do things so quickly. You're back so soon! " Chiang Shuru looked at Soong Shiyan and said with a smile.
Once Xiaohu was mentioned, Soong Shiyan didn't want to waste any more time with Chiang Shuru. She replied with an "En." Then, she turned to the butler and asked, "Butler, where is Xiaohu?"
"Miss, Xiaohu is still living in the same villa as before," the butler said amiably, "After I called you, the doctor came to the house and gave him some medicine, lost some water, and soon lost his fever. "It's just that Xiaohu is still weak right now … Little miss, let me take you there!"
With that, the butler decided to lead the way for Soong Shiyan.
"Butler, there's no need. I remember the way, so I won't trouble you to lead the way. You still have many small and large things to worry about. Go and busy yourself with your own things!" If there's nothing else, just sit down and rest. " Soong Shiyan said to the butler in a relaxed manner. She then called Tiankui and the two of them headed straight to the villa where she had lived for a period of time.
"That woman must be Huo Mingyang's mother, right?" Tiankui said to Soong Shiyan as they walked.
"Yes." Soong Shiyan's gaze was slightly cold as she replied in a cold tone.
How could she forget? At that time, the death of Lentinus edodes was related to that mother and son pair! Right now, she was too busy dealing with Yan Duoya and didn't have the spare thought to deal with them. However, after she was done dealing with Yan Duoya, the next target would be Chiang Shuru!
"She was so passionate about you that I didn't expect it at all. "From what I see, this woman is definitely up to something!" Tiankui said in a low voice.
"Even an outsider like you can see it clearly. How could I not know?" Hearing that, Soong Shiyan chuckled and said, "It must be because of Yinn Haoming's death that Huo Mingyang is so confident now. "Therefore, he must have already told Chiang Shuru to be polite to me so that he wouldn't ruin his plans."
Hearing that, Tiankui looked at Soong Shiyan thoughtfully, and then asked with a mischievous smile, "In my opinion, other than having the identity of an 'illegitimate child', this Huo Mingyang doesn't have any shortcomings. Look at him, he's tall and handsome, and I heard that he is also very capable. The shareholders in Huo's are all very satisfied with him. If it were me, I might have fallen for him-don't tell me you really don't have any feelings for him. "
"Nope." Soong Shiyan replied without hesitation. Her tone was firm.
"Then why? "Do you already have someone you like?" Tiankui looked at Soong Shiyan, narrowed her eyes, and said with a probing smile, "Could it be that the person you like is the legendary great Young Master Huo Family — but unfortunately, this Huo Mingshen has already died in a car accident, right?"
Hearing this, Soong Shiyan's face darkened. After a long period of silence, she slowly spoke, "After everything that has happened, I will no longer like anyone else. Because, I will no longer repeat the same mistakes as I did in my previous life."
"Then what you mean is that if it wasn't for what happened to you before, you would have fallen for him?" Tiankui looked at Soong Shiyan and asked.
"He's as innocent as a child, and he's not in the same world as me. All I felt for him was gratitude and guilt — they all thought that I had saved him, but he had saved me, not just my life, but my heart. If it were not for him, I would never have survived that dark period of time. If it were not for me, he would not have died so young. " There was a trace of sadness in Soong Shiyan's voice.1
Soong Shiyan stopped and looked up at the blue sky, trying not to cry. She had said that she would protect that person for the rest of her life, but in the end, she had died because of her.
To others, seeing through a person's heart was very simple, but to oneself, it was very difficult. This was the so-called "the onlooker is a fan, the spectator is clear"! Tiankui looked at Soong Shiyan's expression and stood silently beside her. She did not expose her.
… ….
The two of them soon arrived at Xiaohu's place.
Xiaohu's face was a bit pale. He weakly sat on the bed. His lips were a little dry and cracked, and he had a sickly appearance.
The servant was sitting on the edge of the bed, carefully feeding him medicine. He then took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth.
After taking the medicine, Xiaohu did not forget to say to the servant that took care of him: "Thank you!"
Soong Shiyan stood quietly at the door, looking at Xiaohu, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. Tears welled up in her eyes.
