Chapter 66: The Chi Family's Unexpected Disaster
Zhou Huaian was an old hand after all, and he understood what Chi Wan meant almost immediately after hearing her words.
Chi Wan was actually saying that those people's purpose was to destroy Song Yangming. The reason for dealing with Chi Wan's family was just to ensure that no one could help Song Yangming.
He looked at Chi Wan as if he was looking at a little monster: "How could a young girl like you who has not experienced much of the world think of this?"
Apart from anything else, Zhou Huaian has always been quite confident in his ability to judge people - not everyone can catch his eye and not everyone he is willing to associate with.
After spending some time with Chi Wan, he evaluated her as a smart, straightforward and determined girl.
This evaluation is very high for Zhou Huaian, who has known countless people. After all, he has seen too many "smart people" who hide their shrewdness and calculation in their eyes.
But he didn't expect that although Chi Wan was young, his mind was more insightful than he thought.
However, Chi Wan muttered to himself: It’s mainly because there is a well-informed apocalyptic boss around who gave me some reminders.
She scratched her cheek, seeming a little embarrassed: "It just occurred to me suddenly, and thanks to Brother Huai'an, you told me the news about Song Yangming's biological father, I was able to connect these things together."
Zhou Huaian nodded: "If it is someone else's family, your guess may not be true. But if it is related to his biological father Song Baihan, then your guess is very likely to be true.
"Song Baihan is a son-in-law, and I am not very familiar with him. After all, the main branch of the He family is in the coastal area, and his wife He Yunzhen's lineage is a side branch. After leaving the main family, they moved to the central part of China.
“Although they are not in the same circle as our family, the He family has been committed to whitewashing themselves through various means over the years, so there are more or less some intersections. Their family affairs are not a secret to those who are interested.
"Song Baihan has been with He Yunzhen for a long time. He is a person with little ability. He only has a good-looking face, otherwise he would not have become the son-in-law of the He family. However, he has never been very honest."
Chi Wan complained: "If he is really honest, he won't have a bunch of illegitimate children... But he is a son-in-law and he is still playing around like this. Isn't he afraid that his wife will do something to him?"
Chi Wan was also curious. Song Yangming was so close to his biological father. Could it be that Song Baihan really had no idea about it? Or is it because of the He family that he dares not "know"?
Zhou Huaian smiled and said, "He Yunzhen is younger than my grandfather. She is over 60 years old now. She only gave birth to He Rong, her only son. It is said that she almost lost half her life when she gave birth to her son. Her health has not been very good in recent years. I am afraid she is too lazy to take care of Song Baihan. She only focuses on educating He Rong and helping him take over the He family.
"If she really feels that she can't hold on for much longer, then it's not impossible for her to attack Song Yangming and the others to eliminate future troubles."
Perhaps it was because Song Baihan had been restless in the past two years that He Yunzhen felt a sense of crisis, so she decided to cut off his retreat. Or maybe he wanted to have his son take over the He family and remove all obstacles.
Having said that, Zhou Huaian looked at Chi Wan with some sympathy. If this was really what they guessed, then the Chi family really suffered an unprovoked disaster.
Chi Wan whispered after hearing this: "I even began to suspect that the reason why Song Yangming became addicted to gambling might have something to do with that place... It turns out that they knew Song Yangming's identity much earlier than I did."
Zhou Huaian didn't know what he was thinking about, and sneered: "If it was really He Rong who did it, then their family's style of doing things has changed a lot. I can only say that Song Yangming is lucky. If it had been a few years earlier, I'm afraid he would have been poured with cement and thrown into the sea.
"I think this roundabout style might have been done by the younger generation of the He family. He Rong has a son and a daughter. The son, He Lingfeng, should be about your age, and the daughter, He Lingshan, is still in high school.
"This pair of siblings are always gloomy and their behavior is not very upright. Huaijin and I don't like them very much.
“But it’s interesting to say that, I don’t know what Song Yangming’s biological mother was thinking. Not only did she sell Song Yangming to a family with the surname Song, but she also sold him so close to the He family.
"Do you hope that Song Baihan will take care of you out of old friendship, or... do you want to help Song Baihan 'carry on the family line'?"
Chi Wan was stunned, but Zhou Huaian's words gave her some new ideas.
She continued along with Zhou Huaian's words: "If this is true, then Song Yangming's mother is quite ambitious..."
If Zhou Huaian's guess is correct, then Song Baihan might have known about Song Yangming's existence for a long time, and may even have helped to cover it up - after all, Song Yangming is, after all, Song Baihan's "child of the old Song family."
Although Chi Wan didn't understand, she could probably guess Song Baihan's mentality. After all, there were still voices in Qingshui Village advising her parents that "their daughter cannot inherit the family business."
Although Chi Yuanshan always fought back firmly, such voices were common everywhere, let alone from Song Baihan, who was a son-in-law.
No wonder everything was peaceful for so many years, but suddenly a series of incidents happened. It was probably because Song Yangming's existence was discovered by He Yunzhen.
This also led to Song Yangming having some "special" feelings towards both Song Baihan and the He family.
Chi Wan exhaled slowly. Now he could basically conclude that their family must have been implicated by Song Yangming.
But soon a wave of anger swept over her.
The He family is really interesting. Song Baihan created an illegitimate child himself, and he tried to cover it up, but what did his parents do wrong?
Is it so easy to destroy a completely innocent family just to deal with Song Yangming? !
Be it the He family or Song Baihan, they both make people want to vomit!
Seeing Chi Wan's ugly expression, Zhou Huaian patted her shoulder gently and comforted her: "Wan Wan, I know this matter is very infuriating, but I hope you can bury it in your heart and don't be impulsive.
"He Yunzhen's lineage is indeed not a big deal in Central China, but she still has a family. The He family has deep roots in the coastal areas and has many interests in Hong Kong.
"Let alone us, even the Xiahou family may not gain much advantage if they go to the coastal areas. Now that you already know their purpose, just be on guard. After all, their target is still Song Yangming."
Chi Wan did not comment on this.
But she also knew that given their friendship, Zhou Huaian's words were completely considered from her perspective.
But, why?
After all, before she came here, the He family was still trying to find ways to bring Chi Yuanshan and his wife, who had finally regained their fortunes, back into trouble again.
Both Song Yangming and the He family must pay the price for their actions.
