Chapter 216: Chapter 216 He Has No Leverage_1
On the ride, Wenya would occasionally make a call to Su Peisheng.
I was gazing out the window at the rapidly retreating cityscape, lost in thought.
It reminded me of the past with Gu Yuanzhou…
Why had he become so terrifying?
After ending a call, Wenya turned and looked at me,
“Su Peisheng has been to the Ding Family’s place. The police were still there! That means, even though someone has died, they are still going to investigate the case.”
“Well…”
My anger, at the moment, seemed completely useless.
“Gu Yuanzhou is really scary! Previously, I didn’t realize how ruthless he could be!”
Wenya sighed.
“Yes, I never knew before that he could be this aggressive! It feels like a completely different person! I genuinely can’t accept who he is now.”
“Do you think, there’s a chance that he’s been reborn as someone else?”
Wenya’s question left me stunned.
It was indeed possible, especially considering what Wu Lijuan had earlier mentioned about Gu Yuanzhou almost dying once.
But after much contemplation, I finally shook my head in denial,
“Never! He is who he is, not someone else!”
Half an hour later, we arrived at the Song Family’s house.
To my surprise,
Song Shixiong was actually at home tonight!
Wu Lijuan, with a rare smile on her face, was bustling about, especially happy to see Wenya.
She rushed forward to grasp Wenya’s hand, tears falling even before she spoke.
Seeing Wenya reminded Wu Lijuan of me; we’ve been best friends ever since we were little and we used to visit the Song household frequently.
To keep Wu Lijuan from getting too emotional, Wenya quickly changed the topic, “Auntie, did you raise this cat?”
The cat in question was a beautiful ragdoll cat, which was rolling around in its newly bought cat bed.
Wu Lijuan answered, “Yes, Yuanzhou gave it to me yesterday to keep me company! That child is so thoughtful!”
Wenya glanced at me.
I stayed silent, my gaze shifted to another corner of the living room.
There sat Song Shixiong.
Logically speaking, my relationship with Song Shixiong should be closer.
However, in reality, he was always busy with work and was particularly strict with me, hence our interactions were minimal.
We’ve hardly spoken during the year.
Reflecting on it, I realized he was quite a mystery to me.
All I knew was that back in the day, he controlled Huaxin Group, A City’s largest trading company, owning numerous merchant ships.
During my childhood, I often saw several dignitaries entering and exiting Song’s House.
However, as I grew up, especially after marrying Gu Yuanzhou, the Song family seemingly took a turn for the worse.
Particularly after Zhenyi Company began to grow, the officials no longer frequented the Song Family.
My interpretation was,
Perhaps because of Song Shixiong’s age, coupled with neither of his sons willing to take over the family business, that led to the decline.
However, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse.
The scale of the Huaxin Group is still significantly larger than that of Zhenyi Company.
At that moment, from the time I entered the house, Song Shixiong had been on the phone.
He appeared to be in a terrible mood, sounding irate on the phone call.
Wu Lijuan led us to the side hall for tea. Wenya curiously asked,
“How has uncle been lately, are his businesses not doing well?”
Wu Lijuan, hugging the ragdoll cat, responded,
“Probably overburdened by work! Don’t let him influence you girls! Come, let’s eat dinner shortly!”
While they were at it, Wenya asked Wu Lijuan a handful of other questions.
