Chapter 502 - 500: Secrets Forgotten by Time (20)
I didn’t expect this man would actually tickle her in front of everyone—"Xiao, Xiao Jinghuai, that’s enough... Stop it... Let go of me—"
But the man didn’t seem to intend to stop, holding her in his arms and teasing her wantonly, childishly like a kid.
Song Song really couldn’t withstand his constant onslaught, repeatedly pleading for mercy, while dodging around. Laughter filled the air—
The two people standing on the third floor, looking down, couldn’t help but raise the corners of their mouths.
Huo Chen stood next to Song Xueqin and sighed, "Xiao Jinghuai is indeed a good kid. You can rest assured entrusting Song Song to him."
"Yes!" Song Xueqin smiled with pursed lips, "If it weren’t for Song Song finding someone she likes, I wouldn’t want to make the next move either."
"Huo Chen, do you think I can really hoodwink everyone?"
She was now starting to worry. The Royal Family is never easy to deal with, and right now, she’s solely relying on Song Jingyun’s temperament.
Song Jingyun had a quirk since childhood, which was to believe her words without doubt. So if she acknowledges Qiao Yu as her daughter, he will definitely believe it too.
Huo Chen’s gaze slightly deepened, "I’m not worried about anything else, but what about Song Song? If she finds out she’s not really your daughter, she would be the most heartbroken—"
"You heard what she told me today. Actually, she’s always suspected it in her heart." Song Xueqin reached out to hold the windowsill next to her, self-mocking, "From childhood to adulthood, I’ve indeed always suppressed her abilities, especially in cooking. I thought my talent in cooking was already amazing, but I didn’t expect Song Song to be even better."
"So I didn’t let her touch those things and forbade her from doing anything outstanding at school. Other people’s children are praised by their parents for their achievements, but I continuously dampened her enthusiasm..."
"Thinking about it, this has become a habit over the years. It seems I’ve never directly encouraged her to do anything."
Huo Chen turned to meet her gaze, "Then tell me... Was today also within your expectations? Perhaps you once thought that when your family found you someday, you would prepare to end the mother-daughter relationship with Song Song?"
Song Xueqin slightly clenched her hands, "I don’t deny this. This matter has been circling in my mind since Song Song was born—ha! Do you think I’m terrible? There aren’t many women as calculating as I am."
Huo Chen held her icy hand, "No, you’re just being prepared. Xueqin, what kind of place is your family exactly? Why do you reject it so much? Is it a dragon’s den or tiger’s lair?"
"It’s more than a dragon’s den or tiger’s lair! It’s a place that devours people without leaving bones. Someone as pure as Song Song simply couldn’t survive there."
In the family, countless women are eagerly watching that position. Just when there was an opportunity to ascend the throne, a Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared halfway.
It’s not surprising they rebelled—
How could her Song Song possibly deal with those women?
Song Xueqin looked at the two still playfully fighting below, and the corners of her mouth, once slightly raised, slowly straightened into a line, "Tomorrow, help me contact Helian Sulan! After so many years, it’s time she knew who she really offended back then!"
The woman’s eyes revealed a cold, murderous intent, like a blooming mandala flower, laced with poison.
Huo Chen glanced at the woman, and even though her face was weary, the light in her eyes was enough to illuminate the entire galaxy—
It completely captivated people, making them pause and surrender to her presence.
