Chapter 202 It's a real shame you guys aren't actors.
"Dad, did you come back from abroad on a mission?" Song Qingshi was about to lose his mind. "Why are you trying to tear my family apart?"
Grandpa Song started panting heavily again, "I'm so angry, I'm really going to die of anger."
The caregiver reacted quickly, taking a plastic bag from his pocket and putting it over Mr. Song's head, explaining to the Song family, "This can prevent respiratory alkali poisoning."
Seeing that Old Master Song's breathing had stabilized, the Song family finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After recovering, Grandpa Song ripped the plastic bag off his head and pointed at the family of four across the street, saying, "You treated me like this because of a woman."
“Grandpa, I just want you to experience what it feels like to be wronged,” Song Xu said with a stern face. “You made false accusations against Xixi without knowing anything about her. Did you consider her feelings? Did you consider my feelings?”
“Xixi is my girlfriend, yet I made her suffer in front of me, and I was powerless to do anything about it.”
“I’m a good-for-nothing, and so is my dad. He’s indifferent to the fact that you’re scolding my brother and my mom is furious.”
“I don’t want Xixi to marry into this family. I can’t get married, and my dad can’t get married either. I might as well ruin everything for you. This family is no longer worth keeping.”
"Damn it," Song Qingshi slapped Song Xu's head hard, "You're too bad, when have I ever been useless? When your grandfather was scolding you, when did I not talk back to him?"
“What’s the use of just arguing?” Song Xu winced in pain. “You need to solve the problem at its root.”
"Is our company going to go bankrupt?" Song Xu asked, rubbing the back of his head. "Otherwise, why would you insist on me marrying a rich man's daughter and living off her?"
"Bullshit! Don't you know what's going on with our company?" Song Qingshi slapped him again. "Since I took over, the annual profit has increased many times over compared to when your grandfather was in charge. When did we ever let you live off a woman?"
"Then why can't I be with the woman I love?" Song Xu suddenly hugged Xu Wantang and cried bitterly, "Mom, why did you give birth to me in the Song family?"
“It’s all my fault,” Xu Wantang said, stroking her son’s hair with heartache. “I’m going to remarry and take you and your brother with me to a family where we don’t have to live off women.”
"Wife, you can't do this to me!" Song Qingshi pulled Song Xu away from Xu Wantang's arms and hugged Xu Wantang tightly. "If you dare to remarry, I'll kill myself."
Song Chen rubbed his forehead; he couldn't stand it anymore.
"Enough!" Old Master Song shouted, "It's such a waste that you lot aren't actors."
"What's so great about Lin Xi that makes you all so willing to risk my life and go against me?"
“Dad, Xixi is really a good child,” Song Qingshi said earnestly. “You should get to know her better before making a decision, instead of just listening to what outsiders say.”
"I know it was Lu Zhentao who called you, asking you to come back and seek justice for them, but Lu Yunqi really is not a good match."
“Yes, Dad,” Xu Wantang’s attitude softened, “that Lu Yunqi is not only stupid, but also has an improper private life.”
“I had someone investigate her social life when she was studying abroad. She was at parties almost every day. I don’t need to explain what she was doing at those parties, do I? How can a girl like that be allowed into the Song family?”
“Xixi has come from a hard life. She is simple-minded and only cares about studying and making money. Grandma Lin is strict with her, so she only earns hard-earned money.”
"She got together with Xiao Xu because Xiao Xu went to great lengths to win her over; it wasn't like she just threw herself at him."
“Dad, you also said that marrying a bad wife can ruin three generations. Lin Xi, whether in terms of appearance or intelligence, will continue to raise the quality of the Song family’s descendants. Lin Xi’s college entrance examination scores are also among the best in Jiangbei City. She is even ranked one place higher than Xiao Xu.”
Grandpa Song was taken aback; he really didn't know anything about Lin Xi. "Then which university is she in? It wouldn't be Jiang University, would it?"
“I’m a first-year law student at Jiangnan University,” Song Xu replied, “the same major as you, brother.”
The reason why Old Master Song was so wary of Song Chen was because Song Chen was too capable, and he was afraid that the Song family's assets would be taken away by an outsider like him. Such things had happened before.
“Grandpa, I know what you’re worried about,” Song Chen suddenly said. “I’m willing to transfer all my company shares to Xiao Xu. My law firm’s income is enough to support all my expenses.”
"elder brother!"
"Chenchen!"
Song Chen waved his hand, "Dad, Mom, Xiao Xu, you know I don't want these shares at all. As long as I have these shares, I will feel pressure and guilt."
"I'd be more grateful if you could introduce me to more clients in the future; I'd be perfectly happy earning this money."
Song Qingshi sighed heavily, "You child!"
Old Master Song fell silent. He glanced at Song Chen a few more times, and he was naturally pleased with Song Chen's decision.
If Song Chen is really that honest, then he wouldn't mind having another grandson.
"Alright, I have reservations about Xiaoxu and Linxi's matter," Old Master Song said, knowing when to stop. If he continued this stalemate, the family would really fall apart. "You don't need to put on an act anymore. Go do what you need to do."
Upon hearing that Grandpa Song had relented, Song Qingshi and Xu Wantang exchanged a glance, seeing relief in each other's eyes.
Song Xu wasn't too happy. He couldn't let the grievances Xi Xi suffered at her grandfather's place go unpunished. He had to make her grandfather apologize to Xi Xi.
But he didn't say it out loud; he couldn't push too hard. This had to be done slowly.
After taking Old Master Song back to his ward, Song Qingshi went to the company.
Xu Wantang stayed to take care of Song Xu, and Song Chen didn't leave either. He sat by the hospital bed and asked, "Xiao Xu, so who exactly beat you up like this?"
Song Xu touched his nose. "It's Brother Yunzhou."
Song Chen's breath hitched. "You went to provoke Yunzhou again?"
Song Xu didn't say anything. He was the one who took the initiative to find Lu Yunzhou, but the conflict was started by Lu Yunzhou. However, it was also Lu Yunzhou who scolded him and woke him up.
"Why did Lu Yunzhou hit you?" Xu Wantang asked angrily. "That's outrageous! With his sister's character, she wouldn't actually want you to marry her, would she?!"
"No, I have to go and confront him. The Lu family is really going too far."
"Mom, don't go!" Song Xu hurriedly grabbed Xu Wantang. "Brother Yunzhou isn't doing this for Lu Yunqi."
Xu Wantang snorted coldly, "If it's not for Lu Yunqi, then is it for Xixi!"
