Chapter 1604: Chapter 1311: I Don’t Want to Force Him (2)

Song Yansheng’s thin lips moved slightly. He said, "Aunt Xu, did I do something wrong?"

Xu Ling understood what he meant. She sighed and said, "A Yu, don’t blame yourself too much for Aunt Tong’s matter. She was willing to die for your mother, which shows that all these years your mother truly treated her well. Feelings are like that, there’s giving and there’s return. Of course, if you feel guilty, just help her family more in the future..."

Song Yansheng said, "But no matter how much support I give, Aunt Tong is still gone, and she’ll never come back again!"

Xu Ling sighed and said, "A Yu, you’ve been through a lot these years. You ought to see life and death more clearly. This matter is already over, don’t dwell on it. You know there’s still a great deal you need to do later..."

Song Yansheng’s gaze quivered, because he thought of Shi Nuan.

What was Shi Nuan doing at this very moment? Her mother had been found, but Shi Nuan’s situation was still unresolved!

Regardless of whether they had the fate to be husband and wife in the future, he still hoped that her life ahead could be simpler, purer, safer!

He looked at Xu Ling and said, "Aunt Xu, I’m entrusting my mother to you. There’s something I need to deal with."

Xu Ling’s brows drew together. "No matter what it is, it’s not so urgent. Your fever just broke, and it’s very late. Go get some sleep. Wait till you’ve rested, then deal with it—it won’t be too late."

But Song Yansheng shook his head. "Thank you, Aunt Xu, but there are some things where every second counts. They can’t be delayed."

...

Li Guirong was arrested on suspicion of murder. After being discharged, Shi Yuanbo returned to the Shi Family; he hoped Shi Nuan would go back too.

Shi Nuan refused. She said, "Dad, don’t forget, there’s still Shi Jiaojiao in the Shi Family."

Shi Yuanbo’s brows tightened. He wanted to say that back then Shi Jiaojiao was still young, and in the matter of his wife Xu Hua’s death, Shi Jiaojiao definitely hadn’t taken part.

But he couldn’t say it. He knew that whether it was Li Guirong or Shi Jiaojiao, back then they had both brought Shi Nuan immense pain.

Even if Shi Jiaojiao hadn’t killed his wife Xu Hua, she had killed the still-unformed child in Shi Nuan’s womb. Shi Nuan hated her.

Shi Yuanbo no longer forced the issue. After leaving the police station, Shi Nuan followed Huang Shihui back to the Huang Family’s villa.

The royal villa’s location wasn’t far from the Song Mansion; it was also one of the very few villas in the vicinity of the Song Mansion.

Standing on the third-floor balcony, Shi Nuan could see, from afar, the faint lights inside the Song Mansion.

Only, she felt that Song Yansheng was probably not there. Earlier, he had already taken her away to Nuan Residence.

So was he now at Nuan Residence? Or at the Song Family Mansion?

With things having come to this point, the situation outside was anything but good. Especially today, when she acted on impulse and willfulness, she made the public opinion that Song Yansheng had just barely managed to suppress surge up again.

She really owed Song Yansheng too much.

Someone behind her gently pushed the door open. Shi Nuan turned. The person coming in was Huang Shihui.

Huang Shihui was leaning on a cane. Shi Nuan hurried to support him, calling, "Grandpa Huang, what brings you here?"

Huang Shihui said, "The servant said you were on the third-floor balcony, so I came to take a look at you..."

Shi Nuan’s eyes flickered slightly; she didn’t speak.

Huang Shihui said, "You’re looking at the Song Mansion, aren’t you?"

Shi Nuan’s thin lips moved; she didn’t know what to say.

Supported by Shi Nuan, Huang Shihui sat down and said, "Nuannuan, if you really can’t let go of Song Yansheng, I can go to him and talk. I believe..."

"No, Grandpa Huang, please don’t go to him. This time, he really had no choice. I don’t want to push him."

Huang Shihui’s brows knit. "But aren’t you just making yourself suffer like this? You have Song Yansheng in your heart. I’ve met that boy—he seems to care about you quite a bit too. Back then I was relieved, thinking that since you’d met Song Yansheng, the old man in heaven could rest easy. Who could have imagined something like this would happen..."

Shi Nuan dropped her gaze and said, "Grandpa Huang, I’ve already dragged him down enough. Now... forget it. Without me, he’ll live better..."

"And you? Without him, will you live better?"

Shi Nuan’s lashes trembled lightly. After a pause, she said, "I will... I will live better too."

...

After leaving the Song Family Mansion, on the way, Song Yansheng called Chi Rui, who was at the police station handling the Zhong Jinnan case, and told him to immediately go to the restaurant where Shi Nuan and Shen Zui had eaten and investigate.

Chi Rui was slightly taken aback and asked, "Mr. Song, what do you want investigated?"

"People," Song Yansheng said. "Nuannuan’s matter really is related to my mother. But who did my mother contact on the outside, including bribing people at the hotel to swap the red wine—all that makes me very suspicious. Before, my mother’s disappearance had my mind in chaos. Now that I think back, there are a lot of doubtful points. Go check it immediately, and get everything clear. That includes all the calls to and from the Song Mansion before and after Nuannuan’s accident, and everyone who went to the Song Mansion to see my mother. Check all of it. Don’t miss a single thing!"
