Chapter 584: Chapter 580: Will You Miss Me?_2

However, the first sentence that came out of Song Wenbai’s mouth made Madam Song’s jaw drop.

"Xinlan, your daughter-in-law has caused trouble. You have to give me some money so I can deal with the aftermath for her."

Madam Song frowned, her face full of suspicion as she glared at Song Wenbai, "Song Wenbai, you’ve only been over 60 for a few years, haven’t you? Have you developed dementia so soon?"

It was her daughter-in-law who had caused trouble. Since when was it Song Wenbai’s place, as the father-in-law, to deal with the aftermath?

Besides, such a cute daughter-in-law as Zhenzhen, even if she caused trouble, was her responsibility as the mother-in-law to fix, not for Song Wenbai, the cheap father-in-law, to step in.

Song Wenbai sat across from Madam Song and sighed, "Ah, what about you? I haven’t provoked you recently, have I? Why are you so angry with me? Even if it’s menopause, shouldn’t it be over by now?"

Madam Song, with a face ashen with rage, held back her fury and asked, "Then tell me, what trouble has Zhenzhen caused?"

Song Wenbai helped himself to some tea and, after taking a sip, carefully recounted the car accident involving Lu Sangning that had happened that morning...

Madam Song’s face brightened from cloudy to sunny as she smiled and asked, "Done talking?"

"Do you think this is very pitiful?" Song Wenbai drained his teacup in one go.

Madam Song nodded, "Yes, pitiful, too pitiful!"

After gaining agreement, Song Wenbai poured himself another cup of tea, feeling relieved at last after talking for so long, his throat dry and parched.

His wife did agree with him, after all!

"So... my dear wife, about Ningning’s issue, that child is quite pitiful too, all alone in the country, and now this has happened. It’s only right for us elders to help her, especially since this matter is indeed Zhenzhen’s fault."

Song Wenbai had never had a good impression of Ye Zhenzhen from the beginning, and with the recent events involving Lu Sangning, his dislike for his daughter-in-law had grown even stronger.

Deep down, he had never acknowledged the identity of Ye Zhenzhen as the daughter-in-law of the Song family.

Madam Song quietly watched Song Wenbai finish his tea. "When did I ever say Zhenzhen did something wrong? I’m saying Zhenzhen is pitiful, too pitiful! Oh my~ my poor daughter-in-law and poor me~"

"You... how are you two pitiful?"

Madam Song lamented resentfully, "What kind of karma did Zhenzhen accumulate in her past life to end up with such a rare specimen of a father-in-law? And poor me, I must have lived too well in my past life, enjoying too much ease for the heavens’ liking, to have ended up with such an odd husband."

Song Wenbai: ...

The servant waiting on the side, seeing Song Wenbai’s expression, couldn’t help but lower their head to hide a smile...

Song Wenbai frowned, "Listen to what you’re saying. Does it make any sense?"

Madam Song glanced at her husband with a cold tone, "The things I say don’t make sense, while what you say counts as human speech?

Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re scheming, saying Zhenzhen deliberately harmed Lu Sangning? Is that person even worth Zhenzhen lifting a finger?

Do you know what the Lu siblings did to Jinze last week in Ancheng?"

Song Wenbai had no clue, "What did they do?"

Madam Song directly conveyed to Song Wenbai everything that happened last week in Ancheng, as well as the incidents at the GK gala that Ye Zhenzhen attended just yesterday, not leaving out a single detail...

"Only you, this old confused soul, would still regard the Lu family as a treasure."

Song Wenbai was incredulous, "They really did that?"

"Lu Wen left the country yesterday. Just guess, why isn’t the old man from the Lu family calling you anymore when they’re short on funds?"

"How do you know that?"

Song Wenbai was still unconvinced.

"How do I know? Naturally, my son and daughter-in-law told me. You called Jinze today, didn’t you?"

This afternoon on the way to the airport, after Song Jinze finished speaking with Song Wenbai, he called Madam Song.

Some people he didn’t want to waste time on, and he didn’t want to waste his wife’s time either.

Letting Madam Song inform Song Wenbai would be best to let him handle it himself.

Song Wenbai had a complicated look in his eyes, "Why would Lu Sangning have such a thought..."

His thoughts were tumbling in his mind. He always thought of Lu Sangning as a little girl, one he had watched grow up, innocent and adorable.

Yet unexpectedly, she went and did such a thing.

"Brains are a good thing, but you also have to occasionally take them out and use them. It seems your brain has devolved from all that fishing!"

"I..."

For a moment, Song Wenbai was at a loss for words, cornered by his wife.

Not liking Ye Zhenzhen was one thing, but hearing that his precious son could be calculated against, even wanting to ruin Ye Zhenzhen, a surge of anger abruptly rose in his heart.

Who did they take him and the Song family for?

Moreover, the most fatal part of this matter was that it inadvertently caused the young man from the Xiao family to suffer!

If the Xiao family found out, how could he explain this?

Madam Song stood up, casting him an annoyed glance, "As for your suspicion of Zhenzhen, let me tell you, I wish it was Zhenzhen who plotted this. A mistress who wishes to break up a family deserves this fate.

"The car is nearly wrecked, and that person wasn’t seriously injured. Ah, those people really don’t commit thoroughly enough."

Listening to his wife’s words, Song Wenbai felt a chill run down his spine and beads of cold sweat form on his forehead.

He touched his forehead and felt a mix of irritation, the indignation of being toyed with, and the guilt over suspecting Ye Zhenzhen, all welling up inside him, "Then..."

Madam Song: "What are you standing around for? Clean up the mess you’ve made yourself. If you can’t handle this, I’ll go complain to Dad, and I’ll tell him everything that happened today. From now on, you need not bother coming home."
