Song Li finally came back to her senses, her face still pale. She finally found some reason to recover from her shock. "Xiao Ling, you, you mean you already know? Do you know that Xiao Yuan is not Lin Jinrong's child?"
Song Ling nodded silently, "Yes."
Song Li couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling even more embarrassed, and her flustered tongue began to get tangled.
"So, you, do you know that Xiaoyuan's biological mother's death is related to me? Do you know everything?"
Song Ling felt the panic and self-blame in his aunt's tone. Her eyes were indifferent, and there was a hint of helplessness and depression in her tone.
"Yes I know."
Song Li felt unwell and couldn't stand steadily.
The wound in her heart was opened again, endless guilt surged in her heart, and tears slid down her cheeks.
"Xiao Ling, Auntie is really sorry. I really didn't mean it, but I feel sad for Xiao Yuan. So, I'm really sorry. Every time I see you, my mood is very complicated..."
Song Ling couldn't bear to interrupt, "Aunt, I know you didn't mean it. You have always been kind and gentle."
Song Li smiled bitterly and sniffed, "Haha~ But I did such a wrong thing. I have been feeling guilty and trying to atone for my sins. I am really sorry..."
"Don't mention the past." Song Ling's eyes were slightly depressed.
Song Li murmured, "Xiao Ling, actually, this is a secret that I've always wanted to tell you. But I really don't dare. I'm afraid you'll look down on me. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, and it can't be undone..."
Song Ling felt uncomfortable listening to his aunt crying.
He seems to be getting more and more emotional lately.
The hard heart became soft, as if filled with water.
He said firmly, "You will always be my aunt."
Song Li's tearful cheeks finally showed a hint of relief.
"Xiao Ling, it's great to have you. Auntie doesn't know how to put it, when did you know Xiao Yuan's background? She never knew this."
Song Ling's eyes focused again, "I discovered everything a long time ago. She doesn't know about this. She shouldn't have to endure this."
Song Li nodded in agreement. "Yes, Xiao Yuan is innocent. She is so simple, so cute, and so kind. She shouldn't have to bear the truth. I also think she is doing well now, pure and happy."
"Yeah." Song Ling replied, "So, I deliberately did this to the Pei family. I'm sure Lin Jinrong will use this to threaten you, and I'm sure you will compromise..."
Song Li finally reacted and replied, "Xiao Ling, I understand. I understand your good intentions.
You did this to make the Pei family and Lin Jinrong realize that this secret can be used to threaten me, but in fact it is just a superficial threat.
The important thing is that we can also use this secret to shut them up. Through this incident, they will also understand that for the sake of the Pei family, they will never dare to reveal this secret. Is that right? "
Song Ling has had the closest relationship with his aunt since childhood.
Before his mother died, his relationship with his aunt was even closer than his relationship with his mother.
Maybe because they had been together for a long time, my aunt quickly understood his motives.
He nodded, a glint of cherishment in his eyes, "Yes. She is innocent, I won't let her bear all the pain."
It was in the corridor that he heard Pei Xiaoxiao using Xiao Tong to denounce Liu Zhiyuan. He suddenly began to worry that Pei Xiaoxiao would vent her anger in revenge for Liu Zhiyuan and would shake up the events of that year.
At that time, he thought about it carefully and thought that maybe Lin Jinrong did not tell Pei Xiaoxiao about this incident.
But they are biological mother and daughter, and Lin Jinrong is so partial to Pei Xiaoxiao, so she will tell her sooner or later.
He knew even more clearly that Pei Songlu was waiting for an opportunity, and after the death of the old man Licheng, he could do whatever he wanted.
In order to prevent the secret from being leaked by Pei Xiaoxiao or Pei Song and Lu Linjinrong, he deliberately created this incident to make the entire Pei family feel a crisis.
Now, everything was as he expected.
The only thing that made him a little uncomfortable was his aunt's crying, and he did this without consulting her.
In order to avoid embarrassing his aunt, he originally wanted to pretend to be ignorant forever, but now he had to admit that he knew the whole story.
He could also imagine how a sarcastic woman like Lin Jinrong embarrassed her aunt.
He felt a little uncomfortable that his aunt's quiet personality was forced to tears.
After a brief silence, Song Li actually forced out a smile.
"Xiao Ling, I suddenly realized that you have changed a lot. Auntie is very happy and touched because you have gone to such great lengths to protect Xiao Yuan from harm.
It's comforting that you can finally care about others and feel sorry for others like a normal person.
I am touched that you are very happy now. That’s enough!
Auntie is relieved. Auntie will continue to fast and chant Buddha's name to redeem yourself and pray for you."
"There's no need to dwell on the past." Song Ling never comforted anyone, so he said it very simply.
Song Li nodded, "Well, Auntie understands. Auntie will call Lin Jinrong later to tell her that you are willing to stop. By the way, she still greedily wants a project."
Song Ling's eyes flashed with wisdom again, and he said lightly, "I expected this a long time ago. Ask Pei Xiaoxiao to come to me tomorrow. I will hand over this project to the Pei Group. They have suffered heavy losses during this period, so it is necessary to stop the bleeding in time."
Song Limou showed a little appreciation again. Her Xiao Ling was really getting better and better.
Just like a far-sighted king.
As the king of the world, everything was within his expectations.
She nodded. "Well, I know what to say. I'll hang up first. You should take good care of Xiao Yuan and yourself."
Song Ling's deep eyes held a deep meaning. "Wait a moment."
Song Li asked again, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Song Ling asked, "I want to know who her biological father is. You and her mother are classmates. Do you know who her father is?"
Song Li's heart suddenly trembled, and even the fingers that were clenched suddenly tightened, and the fingertips turned white in an instant.
There was a strong panic in her misty eyes. She was so nervous that she even held her breath carefully. "..."
"Aunt?" Song Ling urged.
Song Li answered quickly, his tone as calm as possible, "Xiao Ling, why did you suddenly think of asking this question?"
A trace of worry flashed in Song Ling's eyes, and his resolute features were slightly tense. "A potential threat!"
Song Li understood, and she quickly said calmly,
"No, you don't have to worry about that. I have a good relationship with Xiaoyuan's mother, but she is a very kind woman. I just heard that she was deceived by that man, a married man.
She didn't want to be a mistress, so she broke up with the man as soon as she found out the truth. It wasn't until later that she found out she was pregnant with Xiao Yuan, and she was too kind to abort the baby.
She chose someone to bear her child. Who is Xiaoyuan's father? I asked her many times, but she didn't want to talk about it. She never told me.
"You don't know?" He frowned.
