Avoiding Song Ennian, Song Enzhi revealed the truth to Song Ting that Meng Chuyue was abducted by Su Xiufeng.
Upon hearing this, Song Ting immediately became furious, his gentle face filled with anger.
He whispered fiercely, "She is going too far, how could she... do such a thing?"
Song Ting did not dare to loudly reproach Su Xiufeng, not because he was afraid of her, but because he did not want Song Ennian to learn about this.
He did not want Song Ennian to pay too much attention to Meng Chuyue.
Although he did not know that he had a son like Shen Ci, nor did he know that Meng Chuyue was his future daughter-in-law, he did not want Meng Chuyue to become an innocent prisoner of Su Xiufeng’s love.
Song Enzhi also had many complaints about Su Xiufeng, which was why she went to find Song Ting.
She couldn’t scold her own mother, so she said with a bitter smile, "What do we do now?"
After a long contemplation, Song Ting said, "I remember Jinnian once said that he was friends with the owner of a fruit store. The fruit store owner he mentioned—shouldn’t that be Meng Chuyue?"
Song Enzhi had an epiphany, "Right, even if she isn’t, they should be acquainted. Cousin Jinnian is so kind-hearted; he will definitely help her. Should you call him personally, or should I?"
Although Su Xiufeng’s favorite was Song Ennian, Su Jinnian was also her cherished treasure, and importantly, he was the jewel of the Su Family. As long as Su Jinnian was willing to protect Meng Chuyue, neither Su Xiufeng nor Song Ennian would dare to touch her.
Song Ting sighed, "I’ll do it, to spare you from your mother’s blame. Here’s what I’ll do: I’ll tell your mother afterward that I heard Meng Chuyue was from Hai City, so I casually mentioned her to Su Jinnian, and he said they were friends."
This way, Song Enzhi could be kept out of this matter.
Song Enzhi smiled gently, "Then I’ll leave the matter in Father’s hands."
"Right, don’t talk about this to anyone for now, not even your elder sister or younger sister."
Both her elder sister and younger sister had yielding personalities, helplessly oppressed by Su Xiufeng since childhood.
But her elder sister, Song Ennan, was already married, and telling her would be the same as informing her brother-in-law, who, for all one knew, might let his own family in on it immediately, and then it would spread further and further...
As for her younger sister, Song Enyu, she might be meek in demeanor but was ruthless at heart.
Recalling the couple of times Song Enyu had set her up, Song Enzhi shuddered with fear.
Ah, she was untouchable; it was good that her father cherished her, otherwise, she couldn’t stand living in this family for even a day.
It was also a coincidental opportunity; just after Song Enzhi left, Su Jinnian called Song Ting.
Song Ting was Su Jinnian’s maternal uncle; they were not blood-related, but Su Jinnian had learned traditional Chinese medicine from Song Ting for a period. With similar temperaments, they had a good relationship.
In Su Jinnian’s heart, he was fonder of Song Ting than he was of Su Xiufeng.
Concerned about the poison in Song Ting’s body, he often called Song Ting.
The premium fruits were first shipped to Song Ting for tasting by him.
However, what he never expected was that such actions had brought vitality to Song Ting and Song Ennian but big trouble to Meng Chuyue.
Su Jinnian had only sent premium fruits to Song Ting once.
He was unaware that these fruits had a healing effect on Song Ting and Song Ennian’s health.
This was a secret kept by Su Xiufeng, claiming it was to prevent others from taking advantage of the information.
When Jimei Fruit Store first stopped selling premium fruits, the Song Family did not think much of it, assuming that even if Meng Chuyue didn’t have them for sale, other places should.
Therefore, they didn’t seek help from Su Jinnian.
Only once, during a phone call with Song Ting, Su Jinnian mentioned, "Those fruits you sent were delicious. Could you get me some more?"
Su Jinnian hadn’t thought much of it at the time and, since he too was out of premium fruits to eat, replied, "My friend told me the orchard’s fruits have sold out, so they switched to doing something else. I can’t get them myself anymore."
