Chapter 398: Stand with Him
Xu Chuangu smiled, waved his hand and said, "Okay, Shaoyu, take Xiao Gu out."
Yan Shaoyu nodded slightly, took Gu Yuehuai's hand, opened the door and left the room. However, as soon as he went out, he ran into Bai Jing, who looked unhappy, and Song Lin, who looked ashen. The former said loudly: "You should have thought of it earlier and responded accordingly!"
Song Lin seemed to feel wronged and didn't want to bear the responsibility alone, so he said: "I don't want to do this either, but Charles' matter was handed down by that person. Now that such a big thing has happened, I'm afraid we can't escape the responsibility!"
He clearly wanted to drag Bai Jing into the water. Bai Jing's face became even more uglier, and he seemed to be furious.
When Song Lin met Yan Shaoyu head-on, all the expressions on his face froze.
He looked at Yan Shaoyu in disbelief, as if he didn't expect to meet him here. But thinking of the news from the capital a few days ago, he couldn't help but force a smile and looked at Yan Shaoyu in an excited manner: "Shaoyu, how could you..."
Yan Shaoyu glanced at Song Lin coldly, and when he thought of what he had just said, he chuckled. However, this chuckle looked mocking no matter how you looked at it: "Governor Song, you are a forgetful person. You probably don't remember that my last name is Yan, right?"
At this moment, Yan Shaoyu did not endure, did not treat him with a smile, and did not go along with his words to get close to him. Instead, he used the most direct way to expose Song Lin's hypocritical face, just like the wild and unrestrained boy he was in his youth, without caring about the consequences.
The smile on Song Lin's lips seemed to be engraved on it, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Yan Shaoyu gradually turned cold.
He was not a fool, so he could naturally hear some undisguised sarcasm in Yan Shaoyu's words.
It seems that he has already known about the change in the Song family's position. In this case, he has nothing to say. He is just a young man who has lost the protection of his family and can only start as a soldier. How can he pose a threat to him?
Thinking of this, Song Lin laughed again. He gently patted the non-existent dust on his collar and said in an official tone like an elder: "Shao Yu, how can you be so angry at such a young age? After all, I watched you grow up."
The interaction between the two made Bai Jing, who was standing beside them, half-close his eyes, as if thinking about something.
He had also been in the capital before, so naturally he knew the eldest son of the Yan family.
At that time, Yan Shouzhi held power and was in great glory. There were countless people who wanted to get close to him. As far as he knew, his daughter Bai Caiwei had some unusual feelings for Yan Shaoyu. He had thought about letting his daughter marry into the Yan family, but unfortunately, the Yan family had a free education and never restricted their children. The children had the final say in their marriage.
As for Yan Shaoyu...how should I put it, if it weren't for the Yan family, he would definitely not be the son-in-law he wanted to choose.
He is a rebellious man who doesn't care about anyone. Not to mention whether he will treat his wife well after marriage, just looking at his temper, if something happens to the Bai family, he will definitely stand idly by and will not be soft-hearted just because of the in-law relationship between the two parties.
Yan Shouzhi was also a stubborn and unsympathetic person. Marrying into his family would be glorious, but unfortunately there would be no benefits.
He originally couldn't find a way to get Yan Shaoyu to see his daughter more often. Later, a major change occurred in the capital. The Yan family, which had been entrenched in the capital like a giant dragon, suddenly fell. When the wall fell, everyone pushed it down, and soon it disappeared from the upper class.
Not to mention others, the first ones to be affected were the relatives and friends of the Yan family. At that moment, he was extremely scared. Fortunately, he did not marry into the Yan family, otherwise he would have been swept away by this torrent.
The atmosphere in the corridor was tense, and suddenly a light laugh was heard.
"Growing up under your watch? Governor Song's words are ridiculous. Isn't it that the Song family is trying to get close to the Yan family and pretend to be an elder? Now that the Yan family has fallen, you feel at ease to bring this up?"
The one who was speaking was Gu Yuehuai. From Yan Shaoyu's attitude, she had already confirmed the Song family's position. Moreover, Song Lin was clearly a smiling tiger. If he got the chance, he would spare no effort to get rid of Shaoyu.
She didn't need to give face to such a person. Even a well-fed dog would wag its tail at people. What about Song Lin? He used the power he got by trampling on the Yan family to teach Yan Shaoyu a lesson. This shameless behavior was disgusting.
"You!" Song Lin's face was extremely ugly. When he saw Gu Yuehuai, the anger in his heart reached its peak.
The Song family's clinging to the Yan family was well known in the capital. The Yan family fell, and the Song family rose. Who couldn't see the trick? But everyone just talked about it in private. Who dared to bring it to the table now?
"You are a country bumpkin, what do you know about climbing up the social ladder? Oh, I forgot, you tried to climb up to my son before but failed, and you held a grudge against me. Now you are climbing up to Shao Yu, so you dare to be so sharp-tongued, haha."
Song Lin is a shrewd man after all. He said this with a smile in his tone and looked at Gu Yuehuai as if he was looking at a mayfly.
He had known for a long time that this woman was no ordinary person. With such a face, it would be a waste if she didn't do something surprising. It was good this way. By getting together with Yan Shaoyu, he could naturally put an end to her thoughts of clinging to Jin An.
There is no way such a person could enter the Song family and become Song Lin's daughter-in-law!
Thinking of this, a hint of coldness flashed across Song Lin's eyes.
If an ordinary girl heard this, she would be extremely ashamed and angry, and might even hang herself with her belt.
Song Lin was ruthless and clearly wanted to create a rift between Gu Yuehuai and Yan Shaoyu.
Gu Yuehuai didn't care at all. Her red lips raised a smile, and her tone was full of playfulness: "Governor Song said it well. You may not know that your precious son has handed me the ladder countless times to help me climb up. Unfortunately, I have high standards and really look down on governors like you who step on the old master to get to the top. I'm afraid that my ancestors in the underworld will not be at peace even after death."
Although Gu Yuehuai had a smile on his face, the words he spoke were as sharp as a knife.
There was a smile in Yan Shaoyu's eyes, and the curve of his thin lips revealed a lightness that he himself had not even noticed.
This is the woman who stands by him through thick and thin. Even if the head of a province is standing opposite her, she can still be so firm and share the same hatred with him. With her by his side, it seems that facing these people is not so difficult.
Bai Jing looked at her with interest, then glanced at Song Lin, whose face turned purple, and couldn't help gloating.
Song Lin is a vicious and petty person. He keeps saying that he wants to become his relative, but in fact he just wants to use the power of his family to stabilize his position. Now that something has happened, he wants to drag him into the water.
He doesn't dare to accept such a vicious relative, so he needs to think carefully about whether to join the Jiang camp.
Bai Jing had an idea in mind and said, "Okay, let's go find Chief Xu. He was injured while saving me, and I don't know how he is now. If something happens, it's definitely not something you and I can handle."
