Chapter 502: Chapter 500 Should we tell the Madame about this?
Song Sinian felt as though he was nearly drowning in the depths of Lu Zhaozhao’s tenderness.
The two of them stayed in the lounge for over two hours before Song Sinian, looking exceedingly content, returned to his office to resume work.
As for Lu Zhaozhao, she fell into a deep sleep.
"Thump, thump, thump!"
The timely knocking at the door rang out, causing Song Sinian’s brows to furrow, his gaze almost instinctively shifting towards the door of the lounge.
Thinking of the soundproof door’s efficacy, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned his attention to Zhao Xi, who was entering.
His eyes slightly raised in a questioning manner, as if to ask what the matter was.
Zhao Xi placed the documents he had in his hands in front of Song Sinian and slowly began to speak, "Recently, the third young master of the Xia Family met with Lu Dagui overseas and prised quite a lot of information about the past, some of which... is related to the Song Family."
Song Sinian was momentarily taken aback, as it seemed he hadn’t expected Lu Dagui and the Song Family to have been connected for quite some time.
However, he quickly composed himself, picked up the documents Zhao Xi had handed him, and began to carefully look through them.
These were all details investigated in-depth after hearing Lu Dagui’s words.
Among them were also details of the car accident involving Song Sinian’s parents.
Since Feng Xixi and Feng Xiran were twins, Lu Dagui and his associates had planned to stage the car accident and then switch the two sisters.
After marrying into the Song Family, Feng Xiran had led a reclusive life, barely stepping out of the house, and the Song Family members who knew her well were few, apart from Song Gu, who occasionally returned.
Song Sinian was still young, and Old Master Song didn’t live with them, making the switch with Feng Xiran indeed a viable plan.
However, they had miscalculated the accident, resulting in only Feng Xiran dying at the scene and not even a complete body remaining to switch with Feng Xixi.
Later, Song Gu’s ambiguous relationship with Xiao Jinglan left even less opportunity for Feng Xixi.
As Song Sinian’s eyes moved over this information, for the first time, he began to seriously regard the people from the Feng branch of the family.
He had not anticipated such ruthlessness from what he considered a minor Feng family.
It could be said that his mother’s death was orchestrated by Feng Xiran’s own sister.
Song Sinian may not have had strong feelings for his mother, but that did not mean he was willing to let his mother’s killer roam free.
His finger tapped the documents and he asked, "Where is this woman named Feng Xixi now?" 𝘯𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
"We’re still investigating that," Zhao Xi reported earnestly the details to Song Sinian. "Lu Dagui isn’t clear about the woman’s current whereabouts either."
Watching his unfazed expression, Zhao Xi cautiously added, "Sir, there’s another issue related to the madam."
As soon as Zhao Xi spoke, Song Sinian’s gaze unconsciously drifted towards the adjacent lounge.
His brow’s furrowed slightly. He glanced at the documents before him and coldly asked, "Is it about why she was switched with the Lu Family?"
Zhao Xi’s eyes widened in bewilderment, wondering how their master possibly knew.
He held the documents and slowly placed them before Song Sinian.
The news had shocked him too when he first heard it.
He had always believed that the mix-up between Lu Zhaozhao and Xia Wenjin was a mere accident, never imagining it to be a scheme by Feng Xixi.
Feng Xixi went so far as to induce labor prematurely to have her child born and replace Lu Zhaozhao.
Song Sinian’s dark pupils narrowed, "With the situation at the Xia Family, it’s unlikely they’d be so careless as to mistake the child, and even if the standards of the hospital 20 years ago weren’t great, such a significant error wouldn’t occur. It’s just that the Xia Family and Zhaozhao hadn’t paid it enough attention, so the matter wasn’t investigated further."
It just never occurred to him... that someone else had been involved.
That really hadn’t crossed his mind.
Song Sinian’s voice remained neutral, betraying no hint of emotion to Zhao Xi.
While their master usually bore little affection for others, he was undeniably devoted to his wife.
For a moment, Zhao Xi wasn’t sure of Song Sinian’s thoughts.
Zhao Xi hesitated, then asked, "Sir, should we inform the madam about this?"
Lu Zhaozhao was aware that she and Xia Wenjin had been switched, but she wasn’t yet aware that Xia Wenjin’s biological mother was the orchestrator.
What’s more outrageous is that this person was also Song Sinian’s maternal aunt.
Zhao Xi was somewhat worried that Lu Zhaozhao might blame their master for this.
Zhao Xi admittedly had a personal stake in it; he felt that if Lu Zhaozhao were informed, it could potentially cause friction between Song Sinian and Lu Zhaozhao.
Other than that, there wasn’t much else the information could do.
If their master didn’t want Lu Zhaozhao to know, the best approach would be to first communicate with Xia Wenmo to align their stories.
Zhao Xi’s gaze turned towards Song Sinian, his lips pursed with a certain hesitation.
Xia Wenmo had chosen not to tell Lu Zhaozhao immediately, opting to inform their master first, likely with this concern in mind.
If their master wished to keep it from Lu Zhaozhao, the Xia Family would probably assist.
After all, this matter bore no relevance to their master.
Even though Feng Xixi was a relative of their master, he had never had contact with her from childhood.
If there were to be any blame, it shouldn’t fall upon their master.
Song Sinian looked down, "Let’s talk about it when she wakes up."
Seeing that Song Sinian didn’t intend to hide the truth from Lu Zhaozhao, Zhao Xi carefully reminded him, "Sir, it wouldn’t be good if the madam becomes upset with you because of this, would it?"
"This concerns her directly, and she naturally has the right to know," Song Sinian answered almost without thinking. "To deprive her of the right to the truth for the sake of my own emotions would be unfair to her."
In his eyes, Lu Zhaozhao’s feelings were paramount.
"..."
As expected.
Resigned, Zhao Xi sighed and let it be.
He could only hope that their madam, as clear-headed as ever, wouldn’t let this matter create a rift with their master.
Song Sinian flipped through the documents in his hand and then slowly asked after a moment, "How is the Xia Family handling their business in R-Country?"
At this, Zhao Xi’s lips twitched noncommittally, "They went straight to the Fengya Family, disabled their bodyguards, and captured the Fengya Family Head. After that, it was as per the international news reports."
Fortuitously, this was overseas. Had it been in their home country, the legal consequences would have been severe.
But in R-Country, a place historically entrenched with Mafia-like entities, they were somewhat lenient in certain aspects.
Thus, even if the Xia Family went knocking on doors, they wouldn’t cross any red lines.
It wasn’t like in their home country, where they were responsible for handling the aftermath.
