“…..”

Song Zhiqiu was unable to say anything because of the question.

Wen Yanfeng had always been a good-natured gentleman.

In fact, a large part of the so-called disputes between husband and wife over the years were caused by her dissatisfaction with Wen Yanfeng’s family education.

Probably because she had been a “strong career woman” for a long time, Song Zhiqiu never admitted defeat in such disputes. She knew how to handle him very well—one was to mention the deceased child, and the other was to use divorce as a bargaining chip.

The former relied on Wen Yanfeng’s equal guilt as her, and the latter relied on Wen Yanfeng’s leniency.

“Are you sure you want to divorce me?” Song Zhiqiu was under the control of anger before she realized it. Now the regret in her heart had risen uncontrollably.

She didn’t want to divorce Wen Yanfeng, not at all.

Wen Yanfeng, who had made up his mind, nodded, “Yes, we will divorce.”

As a husband, he didn’t get any soft words or respect from his wife.

As a father, he couldn’t get the right to discipline his children. Even if he had the heart to, the two children were spoiled rotten by Song Zhiqiu and weren’t close to him.

“…..”

Song Zhiqiu was fixed in place by these decisive words. Within a few seconds, her legs went limp and she collapsed on the floor, tears naturally falling down.

“If Xiao Rui was still around, our family would not have become what it is now ……” she murmured nostalgically for her child.

Only this time, Wen Yanfeng ignored her tears and walked towards the inpatient department without looking back.

Song Zhiqiu stared at his never-before-seen cold back, and could no longer gather a trace of unwillingness, resentment, or anger. Her heart was overwhelmed by a wave of remorse, and she burst into tears on the spot—what had she done all these years?

How could she have educated Wen Chenglang into what he is today? How did she push her husband, who had always doted on her and loved her, further and further away from her until divorce?

If she could do it all over again, she would never make the same mistake!

Wen Yibei and Shi Yunnan shook their heads in unison. The two brothers looked at each other and ignored Song Zhiqiu.

Song Zhiqiu’s heart-wrenching cry attracted the attention of others. More and more gazes gathered on her as if watching a show.

Wen Wanyou really wanted to escape this embarrassing situation directly, but for her own future she had to endure it.

She pretended to squeeze out some tears and hurried up to appease Song Zhiqiu, “Mom! Calm down!“

She pulled Song Zhiqiu to a distance and whispered, “Brother hasn’t been convicted yet. At most, it was an intentional homicide, but don’t forget, the company’s business is an important matter as well.“

“If those funding loopholes can’t be filled, not only my brother, but also you are in danger!”

Wen Wanyou maintained absolute rational persuasion. There was no trace of affection for her family in her eyes.

In her opinion, even if Wen Chenglang was caught in prison, he deserved it. It’s good as long as he didn’t jump around outside and implicate Song Zhiqiu and herself.

What’s more, if Song Zhiqiu can survive this company crisis safely, and Wen Chenglang can honestly go to jail, logically speaking, wouldn’t she be able to get all the assets as her own daughter?

In this way, she had to thank Wen Yibei and Shi Yunnan for their help.

Wen Wanyou looked at the two nominal cousins who had gone far, and thought to herself.

Song Zhiqiu, who was on the verge of losing control of her emotions, failed to detect her daughter’s intentions, but under the comfort of this “painstaking persuasion,” her sanity finally recovered.

“Yes, I can’t mess up. Your brother and the company are waiting for me.” Song Zhiqiu tidied up her messy hair while trying desperately to calm herself down.

“I, Song Zhiqiu, can’t just fall down like this.”

Wen Wanyou stroked her back and took the opportunity to strengthen her sense of existence, “Mom, you still have me! I can help you. I’m also your child. You have to believe me.”

Song Zhiqiu nodded again and again, and a hint of comfort finally surged in her cold heart.

The mother and daughter supported each other and left the hospital.

…

Old Man Wen was transferred to the intensive care unit, and his family members were not allowed to visit yet. Wen Yanfeng saw that it was getting late, so he took the initiative to stay in the hospital and let the two brothers go home to rest.

Shi Yunnan had tossed and turned since his long flight, and his arm was still vaguely painful after treating his injury, so he didn’t refuse his elders’ kindness and simply went back to the Luo residence first.

When returning to the familiar Luo residence, Shi Yunnan’s nerves that had been tense for a day finally relaxed.

Little Goldfish, who had just taken a bath, saw Shi Yunnan and immediately ran down to greet him, “Little uncle! You’re back!“

“Um.”

Shi Yunnan rubbed Little Goldfish’s head with a smile, “Are you going to bed? Little Uncle will tell you a story in two days, okay?”

Seeing Shi Yunnan’s tiredness, Little Goldfish immediately gave him a hug and said, “It’s okay little uncle, but can I sleep with you tonight?”

“Sure.”

Shi Yunnan took him upstairs.

The butler, who had just finished cleaning up, saw Shi Yunnan, and approached him, “Mr. Shi, have you eaten? Should I ask the chef to cook something for you?“

“No need. I’ve already eaten with my brother.”

While the two of them were talking briefly, Little Goldfish ran over, holding his familiar little blanket.

Seeing this, Shi Yunnan said, “Uncle Qin, you should rest early too. Little Goldfish is sleeping with me tonight.”

Butler Qin replied, “Alright, then you guys rest early.”

One big and one small went back to the bedroom.

Little Goldfish obediently climbed onto the bed and lay down without any fuss, “Little Uncle, go take a bath. I’ll be a good boy. Good night!”

Good children shouldn’t create trouble for the grown-ups.

Shi Yunan nodded, picked up the change of clothes, and went into the bathroom. His arm injury had been treated in the hospital. As long as he applied medicine on time, it would soon heal.

It does not affect his daily activities, and if he’s lucky, it may not even leave scars.

Shi Yunnan took a shower with the waterproof sticker on. When he left the bathroom, he found that Little Goldfish was already soundly asleep.

Shi Yunnan lay down gently. During the time they went abroad, Uncle Qin replaced the brand new bed sheets and quilt. The smell of the detergent was very light and pleasant.

But for Shi Yunnan, this smell was very unfamiliar and made him very unaccustomed.

Shi Yunnan was obviously exhausted, but he couldn’t fall asleep. He subconsciously looked to the left—Little Goldfish was tightly wrapped in a small blanket with a familiar smell, and his mouth was pressed against the edge of the small blanket from time to time. He, who had already fallen asleep, uttered two indistinguishable sounds.

“Uncle, little uncle…”

Shi Yunnan’s heart suddenly moved. He couldn’t help getting up and went to the cloakroom to find one of Luo Lingsheng’s coats, and then put it on.

The familiar scent that remained on his clothes came to him.

Although it was still a lot worse than Luo Lingsheng’s embrace, Shi Yunnan finally found a little familiarity before going back to bed contentedly.

The next second, the mobile phone on the bedside table vibrated silently. It was a video call from Luo Lingsheng.

Shi Yunnan was afraid of disturbing Little Goldfish, so he used wireless earphones, “Hey.”

He put his phone against the tissue box by the bedside while he was lying on his side to face the phone.

Luo Lingsheng, on the other end of the video, saw the coat his lover put on, and a trace of affection surged in his eyes, “Did you have trouble sleeping?”

Shi Yunnan didn’t expect to be caught by the owner of the clothes so quickly. His cheeks were slightly hot, “…Husband, I want to sleep with you.”

“…..”

Luo Lingsheng was silent for two seconds, but his breathing was getting a little heavier.

Shi Yunnan, who was aware of something, snorted and laughed. He teased him, “Mr. Luo, you shouldn’t have any physiological reaction so early in the morning, right?”

At the other end of the phone, Luo Lingsheng let him tease him and couldn’t help but coax gently, “Put your phone closer, I want to see you, good boy.”

Shi Yunnan, who was lying on his side, could only reach out with his right hand. As a result, the wound on his arm was accidentally pulled, and he unconsciously let out a muffled grunt.

“What’s wrong?”

Luo Lingsheng’s voice instantly tensed up.

“It’s nothing.”

Shi Yunnan turned the phone to the side, made sure that nothing was out of the ordinary, and then turned the camera on himself again, “Don’t you want to know what I’ve been through since I returned to China?”

“I guess so.” Luo Lingsheng replied briefly but firmly.

Shi Yunnan told Luo Lingsheng what happened after leaving the airport. Of course, the only thing he ignored was the fact that he had suffered a small injury to his arm.

It was estimated that when Luo Lingsheng returned, this wound should have healed.

Luo Lingsheng’s views toward Song Zhiqiu and Wen Chenglang, the mother and son, dropped to the lowest level, “Regarding Wen Chenglang, do you need me to find someone to help?”

He didn’t mind keeping such a person in jail for a few more years.

Shi Yunan thought for a while and said, “My brother has hired a lawyer friend, so you should stay out of it. But there is one thing. I really need you to find someone to help.“

“What is it?”

“Song Zhiqiu’s company, Huachang Musical Instruments, you send people to help me keep an eye on the situation. I’m afraid that if the matter over there is not resolved, she will continue to cause trouble.”

Shi Yunnan had a long-term vision. Right now, the Wen family could no longer tolerate that mother, son, and daughter.

Luo Lingsheng responded with a sound.

Perhaps it was the smell of the coat that played a role, or perhaps it was hearing Luo Lingsheng’s voice and seeing Luo LingSheng in the video that made Shi Yunnan drift off to sleep after just a few words.

“I’m sleepy.”

“Okay, go to sleep. Good night.”

Shi Yunnan dropped the phone, “Husband, good night.”

Luo Lingsheng, who was far away in the United States, didn’t hang up until the sound of long and steady breathing came from the video.

At the same time, Qin Jian walked in from the outside of the ward, “Patriarch, the two bodyguards following Mr. Shi have already reported the situation. Something happened on the Wen family side.”

Luo Lingsheng nodded, “I know, how is Yunnan?”

“The bodyguard said that Mr. Shi didn’t show any strange behavior in front of them, but they got word from the doctor that Mr. Shi seems to have suffered some trauma to his arm.”

Due to their neglect, the two bodyguards planned to “plead guilty” themselves and let their employer deduct their wages.

Sure enough, Luo Lingsheng’s eyes changed when he heard this.

How long have they been apart?

How did he manage to get hurt?

Luo Lingsheng couldn’t blame his lover for hiding it intentionally, but his heart felt really uneasy, “Qin Jian, ask Dr. Bence to come here.”

“Patriarch?”

“I think I have to go home early.”
