One and Only: Doting CEO's Infinite Love

Chapter 501 - 499: Secrets Forgotten by Time (19)

"Mom, can’t you change your bad temper at a time like this?"Song Song wouldn’t fall for it, she reached out to tidy her long hair, "Look at how haggard you look. Now you’re telling me to go on a honeymoon. You might as well just plaster the words ’unfilial daughter’ on my face, it would be more straightforward."

Song Xueqin gritted her teeth. Ever since this girl lost her memory, it’s like she unleashed another personality, one that increasingly resembled her: sharp with words and prone to mock others.

But she has to leave here. Although the Royal Family’s power extends globally, as long as Xiao Jinghuai is by her side, they will naturally hesitate—

At least it won’t be so easy for them to succeed.

And what she has to do is make everyone believe Qiao Yu is her biological daughter during this time.

But, this is as difficult as climbing Everest.

"Damn girl! If you dare talk back, believe it or not, I’ll smack you!"

Song Xueqin raised her hand high as she spoke, as if Song Song said one more word, that hand would strike her face.

Xiao Jinghuai was not unfamiliar with this scene. Remembering the previous time during the competition, he immediately stepped in front of Song Song, saying righteously, "Song Song just wants to fulfill her filial duty, please support her."

"Heh! Filial duty?" Song Xueqin’s eyes were cold, "When did she genuinely ever be filial to me? From childhood, everything I forbade, she insisted on doing. Marrying you without my knowledge, entering a cooking competition, she clearly said she wouldn’t make money from cooking, yet... she still posts cooking videos on Weibo."

"Song Song, don’t you think so!"

"..."

The sudden questioning startled Song Song, her body trembled all over. Her mind was a terrifying mess, with certain vague things seeming to become clearer.

Her memories seemed to be slowly being evoked, flashing through her mind like a movie playing.

"I... don’t know." Song Song shook her head, "Mom, you know I lost my memory, I can’t remember anything from before."

Song Xueqin laughed coldly, "Yes, you lost your memory, so why didn’t you forget your old mother too? Just leave now. I, Song Xueqin, don’t have a daughter like you—"

"You’re already married. A married daughter is like spilled water, clinging to your old mother for what reason! Waiting for me to die to inherit my estate? Sorry! I’m flat-out broke, can’t give you anything, so hurry up and leave!"

Everyone was shocked, they couldn’t understand why Song Xueqin’s attitude suddenly changed so drastically?

Especially Huo Chen, during this time he was by her side for treatment abroad, helping her get through chemotherapy repeatedly, it was Song Song—

She said: If my Song Song were here, she would definitely laugh at me for not being strong enough, so I won’t fall so easily!

The mother and daughter relied on each other for over twenty years, even if not biological, they were closer than blood.

So, Huo Chen concluded there must be a reason for Song Xueqin doing this—

Perhaps, it was related to that black box, and her true identity.

Song Song broke free from Xiao Jinghuai’s embrace, looking at the woman in front of her driving her away with tears, "Do you really have to do this? Why have you always been like this to me! Since childhood... no matter what I do you never support me, you only tell me ordinary is the best blessing, simple is the greatest happiness. Song Song, you should just be a most ordinary girl."

"I’m afraid you’ll be upset, afraid you’ll ignore me, afraid you’ll lock me in the little black room again, so I listen, I don’t participate in any other activities, I just bury my head in books. Eventually, in many classmates’ eyes, I was no different than a fool. Mom, sometimes I really wonder if you are my real mother?"

"Because no mother would not want their son to succeed, their daughter to blossom..."

"Slap"—

Song Xueqin slapped without hesitation, "Song Song, if you’re capable, say that again!"

She remembered, why remember at this moment?

Why remember at the most inappropriate time?

"I said you’re not my biological mother at all because no mother would be like you!"

Song Song suddenly yelled through her tears.

From the moment of that slap, Song Xueqin’s heart started bleeding, she raised her hand again—

Xiao Jinghuai immediately protected Song Song in his arms, eyes sharp as knives, "If Ms. Song insists on venting, then hit me!"

Huo Chen also came over to mediate, "Xue Qin, what’s wrong with you? She’s Song Song, your daughter, Song Song is already much more obedient than other kids, you’re being too strict."

Song Song stubbornly stared at Song Xueqin, then broke free from Xiao Jinghuai’s embrace and ran away.

Seeing this, Song Xueqin felt a deep sigh of relief internally, she understood this girl, who seemed gentle, but in fact had a stubborn temper like hers.

This time they are so stiff, she definitely won’t come back, at least not show up in front of her for the next few days—

Song Xueqin’s legs went weak, Qiao Yanjing intended to catch her, but she had already fallen into Huo Chen’s arms. Her face was haggard almost to the point of withering, making people feel heartache.

Huo Chen stroked her increasingly dry hair, "Xue Qin, why go to such lengths? Isn’t this mutual destruction?"

"...Huo Chen, come with me to the study, I have words for you."

"Alright—"

Qiao Yanjing very much wanted to know what they would discuss, but as soon as he made contact with her cold gaze, he retreated.

Because, in her eyes, he saw no existence of himself.

Xue Qin, in your heart is Huo Chen more important than me?

...

Outside, Xiao Jinghuai stood behind Song Song, watching her sob until she slowly squatted down—

He originally wanted her to cry out, but still couldn’t bear her being so sad, he walked over with his hands in his pockets, teasingly saying, "Your memory... disappears quickly, but also recovers quite fast."

The girl flinched, slowly lifted her head, with a small tear-streaked kitten face, "Uncle, do you have to tease me like this?"

"Uncle?" Xiao Jinghuai suddenly chuckled, "It’s not quite appropriate for you to call me that now, it makes me feel... uh..."

Song Song’s blurry vision slowly gained focus, her mind constantly recalling intimate moments with him. With an "ah," she immediately covered her face with both hands, "Scoundrel, you took advantage of me when I lost my memory... shameless!"

Xiao Jinghuai lifted the little girl from the ground like a cat, then hugged her into his arms, whispering in her ear, "Yes, I seized the opportunity. Want to go on a honeymoon? Actually, I think your mother’s proposal isn’t bad, we can go out for a while, I haven’t taken a vacation for a long time..."

Song Song couldn’t withstand his teasing, her fair ears turned scarlet, Xiao Jinghuai saw it and liked it a lot, opened his mouth and took her earlobe, "Promise me, hmm?"

"No, no way." Song Song felt like she was about to explode, "Now is really not the time, maybe after this period..."

"Ah! Xiao Jinghuai you—"
