Chapter 489: Chapter 487: So Arrogant at the Song Family’s Place?!
Qin Ling was not afraid, but that did not mean Song Wang wasn’t scared.
He knew exactly what he had just said to Lu Zhaozhao.
He had only been so bold because there were no security cameras nearby, spewing filthy words at Lu Zhaozhao.
Now, hearing Mr. Song’s decisive words, he realized there must be security cameras around, ones he hadn’t noticed.
If this incident was confirmed, he’d be dead for sure.
He had thought that without any evidence, he could just insist till his death that it was Lu Zhaozhao who seduced him, and that would have been the end of it.
The Song Family surely cared about their reputation, and in this matter, whether or not there was anything between him and Lu Zhaozhao, as long as he claimed Lu Zhaozhao seduced him, he could deflect much of the blame.
As for whether Lu Zhaozhao actually seduced him, that wasn’t important. What mattered was that as long as people doubted him, she, as a wife of the Lu Family, wouldn’t be able to continue in her role.
Once Lu Zhaozhao was no longer the wife of the Lu Family, she would have nothing, and wouldn’t that make her easy for him to manipulate?
Song Wang had already made his calculations ahead of time, never expecting a Cheng Yaojin to emerge out of nowhere.
What was even more unexpected was that there were cameras in this garden?
Song Wang immediately turned coward.
Even if he was reluctant, he had to bite the bullet and apologize, "I’m sorry, Old Master, I just lost my head just now, it was just a joke, I really didn’t intend to do anything."
Song Wang wanted to downplay the incident, after all, the Song Family cared about face too. He was proactively stepping down, they wouldn’t refuse to accept his gesture, would they?
He was already thinking about what other methods to use against Lu Zhaozhao in the future, so that he could avenge the humiliation he had suffered today.
Then he heard Mr. Song’s exceptionally chilly voice ring out in the back garden, "A joke? This matter isn’t something you can get past with just a joke."
To bully a member of the Song Family to this extent and still expect to lift the matter high and set it down gently?
What a joke, did they think the Song Family had no one left?
Song Wang also realized the anger in Old Master Song, and knelt on the ground, knocking his head to the ground, "Old Master, I really know I’m wrong, please look at... look at how Mrs. Song adores Yuan Yuan, and spare me this once."
Lu Zhaozhao, already disgusted by Song Wang, was even more intolerant when she heard him using Yuan Yuan as a shield, and she kicked him to the ground.
"Ah!" Song Wang cried out in pain, falling to the ground.
Qin Ling, watching her man being kicked around by Lu Zhaozhao, instantly exploded.
She was about to leap at Lu Zhaozhao to fight when the bodyguards held her down, leaving her furiously powerless on the spot.
"Old Master, take a look at this woman! Our Awang was clearly apologizing, and she’s attacking him again!"
Qin Ling’s venomous gaze was fixed on Lu Zhaozhao, wishing she could tear her apart right then and there.
She was merely a marriage connection for Song Jia, and yet she dared to act so arrogantly in the Song Family?!
She wanted to see how arrogant Lu Zhaozhao could be once she couldn’t bear children and was discarded by Song Sinian! 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
Mr. Song couldn’t help but give Song Wang a disdainful look, if it wasn’t for their Zhaozhao wanting Xia Wenyan’s adoption of Yuanyuan to be aboveboard, he would’ve dealt with these two a long time ago.
What a disgrace to the Song Family!
Even though these two were related to the Song Family’s side branch, he still found it humiliating.
"I will investigate this matter thoroughly. If you two are fine, then don’t run around everywhere. Now, get back to your rooms," Mr. Song waved his hand at the butler and said, "Find a doctor to check on these two in their rooms."
Qin Ling and Song Wang had thought they would be taken to the hospital, but never expected that Mr. Song wouldn’t even allow them to go to the hospital. On second thought, however, the family doctor of the Song Family should also be a renowned one.
There seemed to be no difference whether they went to the hospital or not, so both had to obediently return to their rooms.
Nighttime fell over the Xia Family living room.
The Xia Family members were sitting upright and gathered around the coffee table in a circle.
"Second brother, please tell everyone in detail what happened," Wen Qingyu said, arms crossed, her entire demeanor was tight with anger, her brows deeply furrowed.
Xia Nie gently rubbed her shoulders, trying to calm her down.
But it seemed his comfort did nothing to soothe her.
The eyes of the other Xia Family members were all focused on Xia Wenqing.
They had originally gathered because of Xia Wenmo returning to the country, only to hear another explosive news related to Lu Zhaozhao as soon as they got home.
Xia Wenqing felt a bit of a headache coming on, pressing his temples.
The incident at the Song Mansion--he had only just learned about it, and it was Xu Zhenzhen who told him.
He was so angry then that he forgot to tell Xu Zhenzhen not to spread the news to anybody else.
To his surprise, before the second day even arrived, his mother already knew about it. She already felt guilty because she had taken Lu Zhaozhao out late at night, causing her to catch a cold.
Now hearing that Lu Zhaozhao had encountered such an incident, Wen Qingyu’s anger reached its peak.
Xia Wenjue, with arms crossed, gave Xia Wenqing a sidelong glance, "What exactly happened again? Why do you talk as if you’re telling a riddle?"
Ever since Xia Wenqing joined Song Group, he always felt that his younger brother knew much more than he did. If he knew earlier, he would have let his brother handle the XJ Group’s affairs while he helped out at Song Group.
Xia Wenmo, although he had just come back from abroad and wasn’t interested in domestic affairs, realized the importance of the situation when he saw how angry Wen Qingyu was, suspecting it might be related to Lu Zhaozhao.
He could ignore other people’s issues, but when it came to his precious younger sister, he had to step in.
"Second brother, is this incident related to Zhaozhao?" Xia Wenmo couldn’t help blurting out.
Xia Wenyan’s eyes widened significantly upon hearing this.
He had clearly visited the Song Mansion that afternoon. How could something have happened to his precious sister without his knowledge?
Xia Wenyan suddenly felt a bit restless, as he had been too preoccupied playing with the adorable Yuan Yuan in the afternoon, seemingly paying no attention to anything else.
As he thought this, his gaze fixed unblinkingly on Xia Wenqing.
Xia Wenqing felt the prickles of their stares on the back of his neck and had no choice but to let out a sigh of resignation and speak, "Today, a member of the Song Family’s side branch named Song Wang went to the Song Mansion, where he harassed Zhaozhao, and then he was beaten."
"Is that harassment? That was clearly intimidation and bribery!" Wen Qingyu spat out through clenched teeth.
She had originally wanted to ask Xu Zhenzhen about Lu Zhaozhao’s condition and find a chance to take her precious daughter out, only to hear such an infuriating incident.
A mere member of a minor branch of the Song Family dared to run wild in the Song Mansion?
And in front of her precious daughter!
Almost instantly, the atmosphere in the entire living room of the Xia Family turned grim...
