Chapter 66 Relics
"If it hurts, why torture yourself?"
When Song Yan asked this question, his face was expressionless, but there was some confusion in his eyes. It didn't seem like he was trying to humiliate Lin Shuangyu, but rather that he genuinely didn't understand.
They even felt that she didn't need to.
They were just getting married as a political alliance.
Lin Shuangyu was stunned.
Even though she always knew Song Yan was an indifferent person, she never expected him to be this cold.
She only made a phone call to Si Yuan, and then she turned her back on him when she got back.
Song Yan didn't sleep all night yesterday and feels exhausted right now.
Si Yuan hasn't been found yet, and he doesn't have the energy to stay in the hospital any longer.
Seeing Lin Shuangyu like this, he felt even more tired.
"Now that we've talked about high school, I'd like to talk about what happened last night."
“You were very immature last night. I always thought you were reasonable and would at least not do anything that would damage the reputation of both families.”
"Furthermore, if our marriage falls through and you have an injured wrist, what will happen to your future career?"
Song Yan said only a few words before coldly turning his gaze away and preparing to leave.
Lin Shuangyu couldn't believe it; this time, he really shed tears.
She knew that Song Yan was always most pleased with his own maturity, but she never expected that he would decide to abandon her without hesitation just because she showed a little bit of irrationality.
Song Yanleng was almost harsh.
The door was slammed shut.
——
Song Yan slept until the afternoon.
When he woke up, Assistant Qi had just returned the call.
But the result was only three words.
Not found.
Is there anywhere in Haicheng that the Song family can't find?
Song Yan closed his eyes, clenched his palms, and pinched his brow with restraint and forbearance.
He figured it out almost instantly.
It's the man who gave Si Yuan a necklace worth millions before.
From beginning to end, it was that man.
I don't know what methods they used, but they hid Si Yuan in a place where the Song family couldn't see her.
“She will go to work and keep an eye on TY.”
"yes."
No sooner had I hung up than Song's mother called again.
Song Yan recognized her voice as coming from the hospital, because he could hear Lin Shuangyu crying nearby.
Lin Shuangyu panicked and instead of cutting his losses, he tried to escalate the situation.
"Ayan, what happened between you and Shuangyu? Shuangyu said you don't want her anymore!"
Song Yan's eyes darkened slightly: "It hasn't come to that yet. It depends on whether Xiao Yuan will forgive her."
"Xiao Yuan?" Song's mother had been wondering for a while: "What's wrong with Xiao Yuan? Why is she being so inconsiderate, meddling in your affairs..."
Song Yan interrupted her.
"The people around Lin Shuangyu bullied Si Yuan, and it was very serious."
With that one sentence, Song's mother abruptly stopped.
She glanced at the frail-looking Lin Shuangyu not far away, and said in disbelief, "Shuangyu has been sensible since he was a child, how could he do such a thing? It's impossible!"
“I have a recording.”
Song's mother was completely speechless.
She knew that Song Yan would never frame Lin Shuangyu based on mere rumors.
In other words, Lin Shuangyu really did it.
But Song's mother quickly smiled again.
"Why bother investigating things from childhood?"
Song Yan's brows furrowed.
"Mom, what did you say?"
"Which child hasn't had some minor squabbles when they were little? Si Yuan has always had an eccentric personality. She said Shuang Yu brought people to bully her, so what? You're going to break up with Shuang Yu just because of one sentence she said?"
Song Yan's knuckles turned white as he gripped the phone, his throat tightening: "She developed depression overseas, and you're saying this is just a minor incident? Is that even possible?"
The mother on the other end of the phone paused, her tone still dismissive: "That's because she doesn't know how to handle relationships. Shuangyu is the only daughter of the Lin family, and a marriage between the two families is necessary. It shouldn't be affected by anyone or anything."
Song Yan smirked, his voice as cold as ice, "I don't need to exchange Xiao Yuan's grievances for benefits."
"you!"
Song's mother had no idea that Song Yan had become so unable to distinguish between what was important and what was not.
She was most afraid that Si Yuan would affect Song Yan, but she never expected that this moment would still happen.
Is depression a very serious illness?
Even if she suffered a great injustice, it was nothing compared to the interests of her family.
"Si Yuan doesn't actually have the surname Song. Is it worth it for you to do this for her?"
“But she has always been my sister, and she has always treated you like a mother.”
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
Only Lin Shuangyu's suppressed sobs could be faintly heard.
Song Yan closed his eyes briefly, his tone softening slightly: "I will handle the marriage arrangement, as long as Lin Shuangyu apologizes to Xiaoyuan."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Song's mother was stunned as she held the phone, not expecting Song Yan's attitude to be so resolute.
Lin Shuangyu kept a close eye on Song's mother's expression, fearing that she might waver after learning about her past actions.
But when Lin Shuangyu heard that Song's mother didn't blame him, but instead pointed the finger at Si Yuan, his heart finally settled down.
Seeing that Song's mother's phone had been swiped, she quickly asked, "Auntie, what should we do now? Ayan's attitude is so tough..."
Song's mother raised her hand and patted the back of her hand, her tone firm: "What's the panic? No matter how stubborn Si Yuan is, she has to acknowledge me as her mother."
Her gaze turned cold, and she sighed helplessly: "If she insists on blocking your and Ayan's path, I have my own ways of dealing with her."
"What's the solution?" Lin Shuangyu's eyes lit up, and he leaned forward.
Song's mother's chest heaved, as if she had no choice, but she still made up her mind.
No one can change the path they've set for their son.
She couldn't let Si Yuan disrupt Song Yan's next steps.
“When her biological mother passed away, she left some belongings with me. Over the years, she has never dared to mention them, but she must have kept them in her heart.”
Lin Shuangyu instantly understood, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Auntie means to use her belongings to force her to admit it?"
Song's mother shook her head, somewhat disappointed in Si Yuan.
"Si Yuan may seem gentle, but she's stubborn. She values family ties, and those things are her weaknesses. As long as she has her belongings, she won't dare to disobey."
"But what if she doesn't fall for that?"
Lin Shuangyu was still unsure, after all, Si Yuan now had Song Yan backing her up.
“You have to eat it whether you want to or not.” Song’s mother said firmly, “When her mother passed away, she entrusted these things to me because she trusted me to take care of her. Now that I’m bringing these to her, if she dares to refuse, she’ll be unfilial.”
Lin Shuangyu breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face: "Auntie really knows how to handle things. So... when should we go see her?"
"No rush." Song's mother raised her hand to straighten her clothes. "Wait for her to contact me first. If she still considers me her mother, she will ask about the belongings sooner or later. Then I will negotiate with her."
"but……"
Song's mother looked at Lin Shuangyu and instructed her, "Your uncle had a very good relationship with Si Yuan's father back then, and he also loved Si Yuan because of her. You must not let that stubborn old man know about these things, understand?"
Lin Shuangyu was surprised that Song's mother would help him so much, and he suddenly felt more at ease.
Yes, how can one so easily sever the bond of parental care?
Does Si Yuan really think he can't do anything about her?
