One and Only: Doting CEO's Infinite Love

Chapter 443: Feeling Something Is Not Right

Later, she tried calling again, but still, no one answered.As a result, Song Song couldn’t focus on the rest of her classes that day. Once they were over, she rushed home...

Unexpectedly, Huo Junting also returned home early today, and the two almost walked through the door at the same time.

Song Song couldn’t contain her worries and asked anxiously, "Brother, is there something wrong with the Xiao Family lately?"

Huo Junting frowned slightly, "You know?"

"...Yes." Song Song’s heart sank, "So, what Yu Meng said is true."

"Why didn’t you tell me?"

Upon hearing the name "Yu Meng", Huo Junting paused, but quickly returned to normal, "Xiao Jinghuai asked me not to tell you, maybe because he was afraid you’d worry."

"This is a man’s issue; you’re a girl, so better not get involved. With his capabilities, he can sort it out, no need to worry too much."

At this moment, Song Song’s unease intensified, "If it’s really nothing, then why isn’t he answering my calls?"

"Not answering calls could mean the matter is quite serious, right? And according to Yu Meng, even as an outsider, I feel terrified hearing about it. I must go back to Qing City to figure out what’s happening."

Huo Junting suddenly furrowed his brow, "What exactly did Yuan Yumeng tell you?"

"Basically just..."

"Don’t listen to her nonsense!"

Before Song Song could finish, Huo Junting suddenly shouted, "There’s hardly any truth in what she says, stay away from her, lest you become tainted."

"Brother."

Suddenly, Song Song raised her voice considerably.

Huo Junting appeared slightly impatient, "What’s up?"

"Have you noticed you get a bit weird as soon as Yu Meng is mentioned? It seems... no matter what she does or says, you really dislike her. What on earth did she do to irritate you?"

"Why do I find her quite nice? She’s straightforward, lovable, and loyal, definitely better than your girlfriend who cries over the slightest thing. Aren’t they sisters? Why is there such a big difference in personality?"

"..."

After her swift rant, Song Song suddenly realized she might have said something inappropriate. Sneaking a peek at the man, his face was indeed extremely dark.

"Brother, actually I didn’t mean Yuan Yuqi is bad, I just feel... she’s really different from Yu Meng, in summary, I feel she’s... odd, you..."

Oh no! What is she even talking about? Why does it feel like the more she explains, the worse it gets?

Forget it, she’d better not say anything, after all, this is a personal issue of his. Moreover, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, no matter how large the flaws are, they can be ignored.

Plus, Yuan Yuqi’s quite good looking indeed, pitiful and delicate, perhaps she perfectly meets his girlfriend standards!

Realizing she might be meddling, Song Song hastily says, "Brother, sorry, as long as you like your girlfriend, that’s what matters."

"I just feel you really have a misunderstanding about Yu Meng, she is a very simple girl."

"Is she?" Huo Junting sneered, "For you, she may be a good friend, but she’s definitely not a good sister. How good can a sister be who always competes for things with her younger sibling?"

Song Song finally understood, "Brother, your impression of Yu Meng might be bad because Yuan Yuqi said something in front of you!"

"That’s too..."

"Song Song." Huo Junting, who is usually gentle yet authoritative, was truly angry this time, "Yuan Yuqi is a very kind girl, don’t wrongly accuse her."

"Okay, I won’t say anything." Song Song decided to change the topic, to prevent them from arguing further. "Let’s get back to the issue with the Xiao Family, I want to go back to Qingcheng City to see what’s really happening, is that okay?"

Huo Junting chuckled, "You’re asking for my opinion?"

"Yes! You’re my brother, of course, I need to seek your opinion."

Huo Junting’s heart was slightly touched; she considered him as an elder brother, but he hid some truths from her, like they aren’t actually siblings, and her mother, Song Xueqin, is still alive.

"If you want to go, you can, but be careful, I don’t want Xiao Jinghuai questioning me later!"

"Okay, don’t worry, I’ll be very careful." Song Song smiled brightly, only by going there personally can she be at ease.

At this moment, Huo Junting suddenly recalled something, hesitated a while before asking, "Do you know if Yuan Yumeng has a boyfriend?"

"Ah! Really?" Song Song looked surprised, "Brother, how do you know? Do you guys have private contact? Why do you know, and I don’t?"

"Ah, that Yuan Xiaopang is too stingy, such a big happy affair as having a boyfriend and she didn’t share it with me. Hmph, not loyal!"

Huo Junting’s face went dark, "So you didn’t know."

Song Song shrugged, "I really didn’t know!"

"Then forget it, just pretend I didn’t say anything."

After saying that, Huo Junting was about to turn and walk to his study, but after two steps, he suddenly paused and said, "By the way, have you recently had any contact with Xiao Ran?"

Xiao Ran?

If he hadn’t mentioned it, Song Song would have nearly forgotten about this person.

"No, why?"

"Oh, nothing, since you’ve decided not to divorce Xiao Jinghuai now, just cancel the matter with Xiao Ran! You might want to call him sometimes."

Song Song thought it made sense, "Okay, I’ll contact him, don’t worry, and I’ll go book the plane ticket now."

"Okay—"

On her way to Qing City, Song Song called Xiao Jinghuai several times, but he never answered, making Song Song increasingly worried. As soon as she got off the plane, she went straight to the Xiao Family office.

Coincidentally, she often stumbled upon Xing Quan whenever she arrived at the Xiao Family office. Seeing him first was luck for her, because he’s Xiao Jinghuai’s personal assistant, surely he knows his situation well.

But today, Xing Quan looked different from usual, seemingly a bit panicked, "...Madam, how come you’re here? President Xiao said you went to Hong Kong!"

Song Song smiled, "I heard some rumors, so I came to check things out. Is everything alright with you all?"

"Everything is perfectly fine!"

Now what? Miss Qiao Yuqiao just went inside not too long ago; what if she and President Xiao are discussing some past issues that could cause misunderstandings for the madam?

The only option now is to stall the madam for as long as possible!

"Oh, that’s good." Song Song’s worried heart finally dropped, and she cheerfully skipped towards Xiao Jinghuai’s office, "I’ll go see him."

"..."

Xing Quan hastily responded and bravely moved forward to stop her, "Madam, President Xiao is not in the office; he’s out for a meeting."

"Meeting?"

Song Song’s eyes glistened sharply, "But the reception said he had no meetings or engagements today."

Xing Quan sighed in frustration, the incompetent reception never handles things well, yet is quick with words.

"That’s because..."

Song Song sensed something’s off, waved her hand dismissively to clear Xing Quan out of the way, and rushed towards the office.
