Chapter 304: Chapter 304: Hurry Up and Send Money!

Shangguan Wan’s hands were tightly clenched, with no retort.

She bowed her head in silence.

Song Yunuan walked over to her side and then turned to speak to Xia Liying, "You can’t blame her for this, self-preservation is a natural instinct, what are you in comparison to that!"

Suddenly, Shangguan Wan looked up, knowing that today, they had irreversibly fallen out.

She was done yielding to Xia Liying.

So, emboldened, she pointed to Zhong Shaoqing with a trembling voice and said, "He... he has super-male syndrome, has been locked up in a room since he was twelve, he’s never been educated, knows nothing, and his temperament is violent and irascible..."

Just thinking about how he had also killed someone, a flicker of fear crossed Shangguan Wan’s eyes, something she dared not speak of.

Steeled, what could they do to her even if they found her?

She would never agree to it, she didn’t believe Xia Bowen could forcefully bind her to this madman.

Besides, the Xia family members were all aware of the kind of person Second Young Master Zhong was.

She wasn’t spreading rumors.

Xia Liying looked at Zhong Shaoqing’s abnormal expression and also stepped back a few paces in fear.

Song Yunuan said, "Keep your voice down, don’t provoke him!"

Frightened, Shangguan Wan immediately shut her mouth.

The room once again fell into silence.

Xia Bowen couldn’t describe what he was feeling.

He even thought Little Nuan would never deign to set foot in his home for the rest of his life.

Standing there like that was just improper.

But Xia Liying’s face was full of frustrated anger and a hint of fear.

Shangguan Wan bowed her head, wiping away tears.

Xia Zhi stood at the doorway, frowning, seemingly lost in thought.

Originally the family had a maid, but after they moved to the courtyard house, they had let her go, and decided to keep it that way for now.

They couldn’t wait to let her go only when things truly went downhill.

After all, there was always the cafeteria to eat in.

As for Shangguan Wan, she knew how to cook.

The atmosphere in the house didn’t feel like a home at all.

Xia Bowen didn’t care about that anymore.

But for Little Nuan’s first visit, this was too shabby.

Xia Bowen glanced at his two children and went to get some fruit for Song Yunuan.

Song Yunuan didn’t care about these things.

She was waiting for a call.

Seeing Xia Bowen, with his graying hair, clumsily peeling an apple for her, Song Yunuan narrowed her eyes slightly.

There were inherently evil people in this world.

Like Shangguan Yunqi and his siblings.

To this day, they didn’t have a sliver of remorse.

But there were also people like Xia Bowen who thought of themselves as good, yet had done bad things, their consciences troubled and uneasy.

Just then, the telephone rang. Shangguan Wan, who had been standing beside the living room telephone, hesitated before picking it up.

Without waiting for Song Yunuan to speak, Zhong Shaoqing moved forward a step, sneering at Shangguan Wan with a grimace in an angle others could not see.

Startled, Shangguan Wan hurriedly asked who it was on the other side; it turned out to be Chairman Zhong.

Shangguan Heng naturally couldn’t go to meet him personally, but when Little Wan called to say Song Yunuan and Zhong Shaoqing had appeared together, before he could inquire further, the other side urged him to quickly find Chairman Zhong, then hung up the phone.

Since this group had gone there, apart from one call upon arrival at Beishan Forest District, this was the only call from Little Wan.

Shangguan Heng wasn’t too concerned.

Those four bodyguards were skilled; taking hold of a Song Yunuan should have been a piece of cake, right?

Once restrained, letting Second Young Master Zhong sleep with her would mean his daughter would no longer be involved.

And Chairman Zhong, upon hearing Song Yunuan was Xia Bowen’s direct granddaughter, was quite pleased. Zhong Shaoqing was a waste, and his days were numbered after the inheritance was settled in three years.

With the current reforms taking place, having Song Yunuan might even allow them to put pressure on Xia Bowen.

In any case, it was a win-win situation.

The current situation was that Song Yunuan and Zhong Shaoqing had indeed met, but what exactly transpired between them remained unknown. However, the fact that they went together to the Xia family to find Little Wan was baffling.

Shangguan Heng urged Chairman Zhong to return the call quickly.

Chairman Zhong was also anxious; without Adah’s phone number, he had no idea what was happening there.

Fortunately, the medicine they brought was sufficient, or else it would have been troublesome.

Chairman Zhong asked Shangguan Wan, "Little Wan, have you seen Shaoqing?"

Shangguan Wan immediately nodded, "Uncle, he’s right... right by my side."

But just then, Song Yunuan reached out, snatched the phone, and pushed Shangguan Wan aside, saying, "Wait a sec, I need to speak with Chairman Zhong for a moment."

Shangguan Wan staggered from the push and, barely managing to stand, looked incredulously at Song Yunuan, who greeted with a light smile, "Chairman Zhong, hello, let me introduce myself, I’m Song Yunuan, and I’d like to have a word with you."

Chairman Zhong on the other end was taken aback and after an "ah", said, "You’re Song Yunuan, then speak."

Song Yunuan: "What I’m discussing with Chairman Zhong today is the illness of your cherished son, Second Young Master Zhong, Zhong Shaoqing."

Chairman Zhong’s brow furrowed tightly, a flash of malice in his eyes.

He was well aware of what this illness was about.

But what did Song Yunuan mean?

Song Yunuan: "I’m a kind-hearted person, and after meeting Zhong Shaoqing, I realized his illness should be curable. But the medical conditions in Xiangjiang are too poor; such a simple illness hasn’t been cured, which is utterly exploitative.

I’ve decided to act selflessly and find him the best doctor. Adah’s money isn’t enough; he gave me a thousand yuan, which barely covers lodging and dining expenses.

After a preliminary estimate of the medical costs, the first treatment will need fifty thousand yuan. I’ll give you an account number; please take it down and transfer the money quickly, so we can treat the Second Young Master."

Chairman Zhong was completely bewildered.

So was Xia Bowen.

Was Little Nuan making a bold demand, or did she have other intentions?

Chairman Zhong finally found his voice again, "Song...Song Yunuan, you’re really Song Yunuan?"

"Yes, I am Song Yunuan!"

"What nonsense are you talking? My Shaoqing doesn’t need your worry. Where does a treatment cost fifty thousand yuan? Are you trying to blackmail me? And let Zhong Shaoqing take the phone."

Despite Chairman Zhong’s forceful voice, it still carried uneasiness and impatience.

He suddenly felt as if something was slipping out of his control.

Song Yunuan didn’t argue, but obediently handed the phone to Zhong Shaoqing.

With a newfound confidence, Zhong Shaoqing no longer needed to feign insanity. But with Shangguan Wan there, he had to keep up the act.

As for whether Xia Bowen would kick him out, he didn’t care. With Little Nuan there, there was nothing to fear.

He took the phone, his expression fierce as he gnashed his teeth. "You old thing, old bastard, old turtle, give me money, I need to be cured."

Chairman Zhong on the other end was about to explode in anger.

Zhong Shaoqing then let out a stupid giggle, "Daddy, give me money, I want five million; once I’m cured, Little Wan can marry me and become my wife, daddy... wuwuwu... I want money, I want five yuan, give it to me, give it..."

Shangguan Wan let out a scream.

Song Yunuan quickly shouted, "Adah, come in quick, the Second Young Master is going crazy, hurry..."

Chairman Zhong’s scalp tightened; between his son’s crying, screams, and the scolding of a stranger, he also heard Adah’s voice. He yelled, "Let Adah take the phone."

At this moment, Adah and Acheng came in.

Pulling the seemingly crazed Zhong Shaoqing away.

Song Yunuan took the phone again, "Adah’s busy, and we can’t tie up the line too long. Chairman Zhong, take down the account number and send the money quickly!"
