Song Ting nodded, "I know, I will make sure to confirm everything."
After he said that, he immediately called Su Xiufeng.
Han Zheng thought for a moment, then stood up and pulled Meng Chuyue to her feet, "Chuyue, let’s go make some late-night snacks for everyone."
Although he and Han Zheng got along well as future in-laws and could trust each other, he felt that it was better for him to stay away during these awkward moments.
Meng Chuyue had a moment of inspiration, "Mmm, let’s make some desserts today."
Sweet treats could bring people joy and alleviate sadness.
Shen Ci and Song Ennian had no intention of avoiding the situation.
They were eager to hear Su Xiufeng’s response with their own ears.
One wanted to know how bad his own mother was, the other wanted to know how wronged his mother had been.
Even though without that incident, there would be no him.
Even though Qin Weilan might have suffered a worse fate at the hands of human traffickers, Shen Ci still felt indignant and could not reconcile with his mother’s fate.
He might not seek revenge on Su Xiufeng, but he had to have a clear understanding in his heart.
Su Xiufeng’s call connected quickly.
She knew that Song Ting and the others had gone to Hai City, and also that Song Ting had gone to pay respects to Qin Weilan.
She claimed to be devoted and unworldly, but how could someone so strong-willed, vain, and accustomed to fame and fortune truly be pure and free from desires?
Her lack of involvement in family affairs was just for show, a way to numb everyone else.
She had always watched over the things she wanted to control like a hungry wolf.
Regarding Song Ting paying respects at Qin Weilan’s grave, she felt a bit stifled, but only slightly.
Qin Weilan was already dead, and given that Qin Weilan had never interfered in her life with Song Ting, not to mention Shen Ci had no such intentions, she should not trouble herself over nothing.
What she was truly obsessed with was how to make Shen Ci work for Song Ennian.
She thought that after so many years, Song Ting would never recall the past, and would not in the future either, but when she suddenly heard this "shocking news," her face turned pale with fear.
However, thinking that the person had been dead for many years and with no evidence to prove it, she slowly calmed down, realizing that her deliberate framing of Song Ting could never be exposed no matter what.
She pretended to be very surprised, "How could this be? I looked for him back in the day, and he said he hadn’t seen you. Why... would he do that?"
Song Ting calmly waited for her to finish, then calmly said, "I want to know his current whereabouts."
Song Ting knew the other party’s address and name; he could actually investigate without Su Xiufeng’s help. However, he wanted to know how she would answer and by doing so, understand the role she played in this affair.
Su Xiufeng fell silent for a moment then said, "He died not long after."
Song Ting could hardly believe it, "He’s dead?"
Su Xiufeng covered her lips with a sneer, speaking solemnly, "He never saw you, didn’t get timely medical treatment, and eventually died untreated."
The three—Song Ting, Shen Ci, and Song Ennian—"..."
According to Su Xiufeng, was it Song Ting who had lied?
Song Ting sneered, "So it’s my memory that is at fault? Or perhaps, I went to the wrong place?"
Su Xiufeng spoke gently, "That’s possible; maybe someone pretended to be him on purpose."
Su Xiufeng really wanted to say, "Perhaps Qin Weilan was also part of the setup," but thinking that Qin Weilan was already dead and had never entangled them, she couldn’t bring herself to say it.
Song Ting concealed his emotions, "So this is all part of some grand scheme? Whatever it is, I swear to thoroughly investigate it to the end."
Su Xiufeng’s voice became even softer, "Hmm, you continue your investigation there, don’t worry about the home front."
She thought to herself, "You could just not come back, that would be fine too; that way, the Song Family would be mine again."
You see, the current situation in the Song Family is so much better than before.
Not only does Su Zhenguo no longer exploit them, but Song Lei also dares not to.
With Shen Ci’s care, Song Ting’s branch of the family was on the rise.
Suddenly, Song Ting had an epiphany: So Su Xiufeng hadn’t repented at all?
