Chapter 414: Fool, of course I’ll stand by your side
At this time, Song Song could no longer hear anything. She only saw the passersby around her rushing towards that place...The place where blood overflowed.
"Oh my God! Someone actually jumped off a building."
"Quick, call 911! Fortunately, it’s the fourth floor; there might still be hope."
"So young, why would they think life has no way out?"
"What a tragic fate!"
"Hey! Isn’t that Teacher Lin? My grandson’s class teacher!"
"So miserable, really so miserable..."
Xiao Jinghuai’s call was already connected, but Song Song just held the phone like that without saying a word, or rather, she had completely forgotten how to speak.
"Song Song, what’s happening over there?"
"..."
Song Song, like a soulless puppet, walked to the fallen person. She cried fiercely into the phone, "Lin, Lin Man jumped off a building..."
"Lin Man, Lin Man, wake up. I should have gone in with you; I shouldn’t have left so early."
"Lin Man, Lin Man..."
But the person showed no reaction, none at all.
Song Song got up from the ground and looked towards the fourth floor. She saw three people standing there shocked, Xu Lang, Xu Lang’s mother, and Su Mengni...
She couldn’t believe it; she didn’t believe Lin Man would commit suicide. She had just said she would work hard for Little Xiyou. How could she bear to abandon Little Xiyou like this? So it couldn’t be...
That’s right, Little Xiyou.
Where is Little Xiyou?
Thinking of this, Song Song immediately became frantic, rushing up to the fourth floor and bursting into the room, only to find it a mess, like there had been a fight just now, and Little Xiyou was on the sofa, waving her arms and crying nonstop...
Obviously, she had been crying for a while; her voice was a bit hoarse.
Song Song immediately went over and took her into her arms, and at that moment, Xu Lang also turned around, seeing his daughter about to be taken, he wanted to step forward and snatch her...
"Xu Lang!"
Song Song shouted, her eyes full of hatred, "You will pay for what you’ve done, you definitely will!"
"A man worse than a beast like you doesn’t deserve to be Little Xiyou’s father. If you dare to snatch the child now, you’ll only die faster!"
She never wanted Xiao Jinghuai to be mixed up in this matter, nor did she want to use him as her sword, but at this moment she still did so.
For Lin Man, for Xiyou, it seemed she could only do this.
Su Mengni’s clothes were disheveled; her eyes evasive, her face still showed no sign of guilt. "Song Song, stop trying to scare people here! You don’t really think we pushed Lin Man down, do you?"
Song Song raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Isn’t that so?"
"Of course not, she slipped and fell on her own, who’s to blame for that! You don’t need to bring up Brother Jinghuai to scare me; whether he’ll stand by you is still unknown! What’s your arrogance for!"
Song Song didn’t want to waste words with her, "Su Mengni, I don’t want to hear the four words ’Brother Jinghuai’ out of your mouth again because you don’t deserve it!"
"You—"
After finishing, she didn’t care about these three scumbags, directly holding Little Xiyou and turned to leave.
She would never leave Little Xiyou with them, never!
...
When Xiao Jinghuai arrived at the hospital, he saw Song Song holding the child and sitting despondently in the corridor, her eyes vacant, seemingly unfocused for a long time.
Only when she saw him did she slowly come to life, calling his name with red-rimmed eyes, "Xiao Jinghuai..."
The man walked forward, reached out, and pulled her into his arms, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
"It’s them, they killed Lin Man..."
Song Song clutched the child in her arms tightly, agitated, "They pushed Lin Man off the building."
Xiao Jinghuai frowned, glanced down at the child as small as a kitten, "Is this child left by Lin Man?"
"...Yes, I can’t leave the child with them; they will definitely abuse the child. I want... I want to raise her, can I?"
Xiao Jinghuai saw her red-rimmed eyes, clearly, she had cried for a long time; otherwise, her voice wouldn’t be this hoarse. He reached out to caress her tear-stained face, "We’ll discuss this matter when we get back."
"No, I’m not going back; I want to wait here until Lin Man comes out."
Song Song pressed her face against Little Xiyou stubbornly, "I can’t leave her alone here."
Xiao Jinghuai suddenly felt a bit regretful; he shouldn’t have let her manage Lin Man’s affairs. Lately, all her thoughts had been focused on Lin Man. The more emotionally invested she got, the deeper the hurt in the end.
"I’ll handle Lin Man’s funeral arrangements, you don’t need to worry. Now be good and come back with me; you haven’t rested well during this time; isn’t it tiring running to the hospital frequently?"
Song Song glanced at the man, "And Xu Lang? You’ll stand by me, right?"
Xiao Jinghuai sighed, "Silly girl, of course, I’ll stand by you, but first, we need to sort this matter out clearly. Alright, come back with me first."
"...Then can I bring Little Xiyou with me?"
To be honest, Xiao Jinghuai didn’t think she had the energy to take good care of an infant who hadn’t long been born...
However, he knew that in this situation, no matter what he said she wouldn’t listen.
He could only wait until she’s calmer before discussing the child.
After returning home with Xiao Jinghuai, Song Song’s first task was to have Sister-in-law Zhou start preparing clothes and some daily necessities for the baby. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novelhall.com
Luckily, Xiao Jinghuai had just gone to the old house after being discharged to bring Bao Bei and Sister-in-law Zhou back, otherwise, she wouldn’t know what to do.
Even though she had given birth, she completely didn’t know how to care for a child.
Sister-in-law Zhou was a bit puzzled, but since it was Young Madam’s instruction, she complied and began preparing right away...
And after Xiao Jinghuai sent Song Song home, he immediately went to investigate the matter regarding Lin Man.
In the afternoon, when Xiao Beibei came home from school, she bounced into the living room with her little backpack and saw Song Song and Little Xiyou...
Song Song was currently comforting Little Xiyou to sleep, humming a lullaby; the scene was both warm and touching.
Bao Bei was unclear about the situation. She walked to Song Song’s side, tossed her backpack onto the sofa, and pouted, asking, "Woman, where did this wild child come from?"
"It’s definitely not my dad’s kid! Not his, could it be yours?"
"Tell me quickly with which wild man you had it?"
"..."
Upon hearing, Song Song wished she could pull down Bao Bei’s pants and give him a spanking. Although she already knew Bao Bei was different from other children, she hadn’t expected him to be so unique. In just a few days, she found that this child sometimes acted like an adult in speech and behavior.
"Not your dad’s, nor mine, it’s my... friend’s, Lin Man’s daughter..."
As she spoke, Song Song’s eyes reddened a bit, but she didn’t want to cry in front of the child, so she struggled to hold back.
Bao Bei chuckled, "So it’s Teacher Lin’s child, let me see, must be an ugly duckling, since Teacher Lin herself isn’t pretty, her child surely isn’t either."
"Xiao Beibei!"
Song Song suddenly shouted angrily, "Who taught you to be disrespectful!? Go to your room and reflect on your actions. If you don’t realize your mistakes, no dinner for you!"
