Chapter 562 Rose and Fell Together Pt.3
Song Yunxuan was walking out.
And Xu Mei stared at Song Yunxuan closely.
When Song Yunxuan was about to leave the room, Xu Mei said suddenly, “What do you want me to do?”
Xu Mei said it through gritted teeth.
Hearing Xu Mei’s words, Song Yunxuan raised her eyebrows and smiled softly, “It’s great that you can figure it out, Mrs. Xue.”
Song Yunxuan said it leisurely.
Meanwhile, Xu Mei gnashed her teeth in hatred.
At the age of several decades, she never thought that she would lose to a young girl.
And the young girl was the one she hated most.
Song Yunxuan turned around and looked at Xu Mei, “Mrs. Xue, don’t worry. I won’t let you do illegal or cruel things. I only want you not to find fault with my sister in the future.”
Xu Mei glanced at Song Yunxuan. She didn’t believe that Song Yunxuan just asked for such a simple thing while Song Yunxuan knew her secret against her.
Seeing Xu Mei’s expression, Song Yunxuan knew Xu Mei didn’t believe what she had said. Therefore, Song Yunxuan frowned lightly and said, “You think my request is too simple, don’t you?”
Xu Mei said in a calmer tone, “Except for Song Yunying to gain a foothold in this home, what else do you want?”
“Nothing. Don’t worry, Mrs. Xue. I only want my sister to live comfortably in the Xue Family. That’s all I want.”
Song Yunxuan smiled and looked at Xu Mei.
And Xu Mei frowned and stared at Song Yunxuan.
She absolutely did not believe Song Yunxuan was so simple.
Seeing Xu Mei’s doubt, Song Yunxuan did not explain but said, “It’s late. Mrs. Xue, You’d better go downstairs for dinner. After finishing the meal, I need to go home in case that Mochen worries that my visit does not go well.”
Song Yunxuan mentioned Chu Mochen deliberately.
As expected, that made Xu Mei nervous.
What Xu Mei was afraid of was the backer behind Song Yunxuan.
The Xue Family was not big, so was the Xue Family’s property.
As long as Song Yunxuan said one more word to Chu Mochen, the Xue Family would be defeated sooner or later.
What was more serious was that Song Yunxuan dug out Xu Mei’s history and mastered Xu Mei’s fatal secret.
Xu Mei clenched her fingers tightly, almost pinching her fingernails into the flesh.
For a long time, she did not move, let alone go downstairs to eat immediately.
Seeing Xu Mei’s condition, Song Yunxuan smiled and reminded her, “Mrs. Xue, don’t doubt that my request is too simple when I know the secret against you. I can keep making excessive demands on you in the future, as long as I know your secret. And you have to agree to them all as long as you want to continue living in the Xue Family, right?”
Hearing Song Yunxuan’s words, Xu Mei couldn’t help but swear, “Song Yunxuan, you’re despicable!”
Xu Mei’s scolding made Song Yunxuan smile. Song Yunxuan did not get angry. She just turned around and walked out with this, “Let’s go and eat, Mrs. Xue. You can live well in the Xue Family only when you eat to fullness.”
Song Yunxuan’s sarcastic remarks made Xu Mei clench her teeth.
However, even if Xu Mei clenched her hands so tightly that her nails were broken, she couldn’t fight back.
It was because she had been living in fear since Xue Tao appeared in her belly.
She did not dare to confirm Xue Tao’s birth father. She was afraid that her husband would divorce her after knowing Xue Tao’s birth father was a man who had raped her.
No one had ever mentioned this matter for so many years.
Xu Mei didn’t expect Song Yunxuan to find out about it. And Song Yunxuan even threatened her with this secret.
She pursed her lips and frowned tightly.
While she was pondering, she heard Song Yunying’s voice, “Mom, Yunxuan is already waiting for you downstairs. Let’s go down to eat.”
Xu Mei got angry when she heard Song Yunying’s voice and wanted to scold her. However, when she raised her head and was about to curse, Song Yunying said, “Mom, we’re on the same boat. I know your secret now. You won’t get any benefit even if you drive me out of the Xue Family. Why don’t we be harmonious mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?”
Song Yunying’s voice was gentle.
However, Xu Mei frowned and stared at Song Yunying coldly. Her attitude did not soften at all.
Seeing that Xu Mei’s expression did not soften, Song Yunying couldn’t help but shake her head slightly and said, “Mom, we are indissolubly linked now. We are bound together for good or ill. If you hurt me, you hurt yourself. You have to understand.”
Song Yunying’s words stroked a chill in Xu Mei’s heart.
What Song Yunying said was correct.
Now Song Yunxuan knew Xu Mei’s secret, so did Song Yunying. If Xue Tao was not her husband’s child, Song Yunying’s child couldn’t be her husband’s grandson.
If Xu Mei insisted on saying that Song Yunying’s child was not Xue Tao’s son, it would arouse her husband’s suspicion. If the grandfather, father, and son did paternity tests together, the Xue Family would fall apart and become a joke in Yuncheng in one day.
She couldn’t do this. She shouldn’t destroy her reputation in her old age.
Expression in Xu Mei’s eyes changed. And Song Yunying quietly watched her mother-in-law’s changing face.
After a while, after seeing that her mother-in-law calmed down, Song Yunying asked, “Mom, do you figure it out?”
“Let’s go and eat.” Xu Mei slowly raised her eyes, and her voice was full of submission and exhaustion.
Now that the Song sisters knew her secret, what was the point of her continuing to torment Song Yunying?
Xu Mei followed Song Yunying downstairs to have dinner in the living room.
During the meal, Song Yunying appeared to be a filial daughter-in-law, taking good care of her mother-in-law.
Xu Mei was not happy but did not act excessively.
Song Yunxuan had a very comfortable and contented meal. Before leaving, she deliberately said some courtesy words like “thanks for your hospitality” to Xu Mei.
As soon as Song Yunxuan left the Xue’s house and got in the car, Mei Qi asked her, “Did things go well?”
Song Yunxuan smiled, “Very well.”
Xu Mei was smart, so Song Yunxuan got things done very smoothly.
As Song Yunxuan was thinking, Mei Qi said again, “The secretary called me just now and said that Miss Zang from Harbor City wanted to meet you. She is now waiting for you at the company.”
A lady surnamed Zang...
Song Yunxuan instantly thought of the lady of the Zang Family in Harbor City and felt confused, “Why does she come here?”
Seeing Song Yunxuan’s doubts, Mei Qi asked, “Manager Song, do you want to meet her?”
“Yes. Let’s go back.”
Mei Qi nodded and turned the steering wheel, choosing the road to the Song enterprise at the three-way intersection.
When Song Yunxuan returned to the company, she saw a young woman in a black dress and white suit.
She had short clean hair, and the makeup on her face was bright and mature.
Her bright red lips made people feel a little intimidated.
After seeing the lady, Song Yunxuan smiled, stretched out her hand to shake hands, and said, “Long time no see, Miss Zang.”
Seeing Song Yunxuan’s outstretched hand, Zang Linger stretched out her hand to hold Song Yunxuan’s fingers and smiled, “We haven’t seen each other for a long time.”
“If you haven’t eaten yet, I want to invite you to dinner, Miss Zang.”
“It’s my pleasure.” Zang Linger nodded and agreed. Then, she saw Mei Qi behind Song Yunxuan and changed her mind, “Eating is boring. Let’s find a place to drink.”
Song Yunxuan had no objection and planned to have a drink with the weird lady, Zang Linger.
However, Mei Qi couldn’t help but remind Song Yunxuan, “Manager Song, do you want to inform Childe Chu?”
“No. He will restrict me from drinking if he knows it.”
Song Yunxuan whispered.
After hearing Song Yunxuan’s words, Zang Linger couldn’t help but laugh, “Your man is so strict about you.”
“I can’t drink much liquor. He’ll worry me.” Song Yunxuan explained casually.
Virtually, it was not because of her low capacity for liquor.
It was because Chu Mochen wanted to make her pregnant. For this reason, Chu Mochen quit smoking and drinking and asked her to do the same.
Song Yunxuan was persistent, and Mei Qi couldn’t change her mind.
When they reached the bar entrance, Mei Qi was worried about Song Yunxuan’s safety, so he went in with them.
Zang Linger could drink but felt that she could not say something in front of Mei Qi. Therefore, after a while, Song Yunxuan asked Mei Qi to leave.
As soon as Mei Qi left, Zang Linger put down the wine glass and said, “Have you dealt with that old woman of the Xue Family?”
Song Yunxuan smiled faintly, “She will be at my mercy because I know her fatal secret.”
“I had thought she would at least struggle or insist that her son was her husband’s own flesh and blood.”
“Xue Tao is Mr. Xue’s son, but she does not dare to do the paternity test.”
Zang Linger couldn’t help but laugh because of Song Yunxuan’s words.
“I think Xu Mei is strange. She can find out if Xue Tao is her husband’s son through a secret paternity test. Why doesn’t she do this? Why has she been threatened by Wang Yang for so many years?”
Song Yunxuan lowered her eyes because of Zang Linger’s words, “Because she is afraid.”
“Afraid?”
Zang Linger still didn’t understand.
Song Yunxuan explained to her, “In Xu Mei’s subconscious mind, she thinks that the time she was pregnant with Xue Tao happened to be the time she was raped. Therefore, she believed that Xue Tao was the rapist’s son since she was pregnant. However, she must rely on this child to marry Mr. Xue, so she gave birth to this child. For more than two decades, she keeps her son from getting injured or other things that can arouse Mr. Xue’s suspicion. She has never thought that Xue Tao is indeed Mr. Xue’s son.”
Hearing what Song Yunxuan said, Zang Linger couldn’t help but sigh, “Her subconscious harms her too deeply. She didn’t do anything wrong.”
Song Yunxuan smiled, “It also shows that the accident back then has left a deep shadow on her. She does not want to face it or think about it, nor want to find out who the child’s father is.”
