Chapter 500: Song Yansheng’s Ten Thousand Calamities in Ten Years
Zhong Jinnan smiled faintly and said, "But don’t worry, even though Song Zhongming has many spies, he will absolutely not know the things I don’t want him to know!"
Yu Yao wanted to sneer. Her son, Song Yansheng, may not be able to ascend to the heavens or burrow into the earth, but at least defending against Song Zhongming shouldn’t be a problem.
However, while her son could defend against Song Zhongming, he couldn’t defend against the man in front of her!
So, her expression turned cold again in an instant.
She said in a calm voice, "So you came here to threaten me?"
"Threaten?" Zhong Jinnan shook his head, "A Yao, so in your eyes, I’ve become such a contemptible person!"
Yu Yao slightly furrowed her brows but said nothing.
She didn’t have much resentment towards Zhong Jinnan. When Zhong Jinnan pursued her back then, she never doubted his sincerity.
But she had already fallen in love with Song Xiuwen; with Zhong Jinnan, she could only apologize.
Afterwards, Zhong Jinnan disappeared. That kind of disappearance was a form of fulfillment. At that time, she still felt a bit guilty towards Zhong Jinnan.
The next time she heard news of Zhong Jinnan was on her son Song Yansheng’s fourth birthday. Zhong Jinnan suddenly appeared and gave her son a gift.
It was a silver gourd, with Sanskrit carved on it, which she couldn’t understand.
They were old acquaintances, so she treated him politely.
But while her husband was holding their son to entertain other guests, Zhong Jinnan suddenly leaned in close and whispered, "A Yao, do you know why I gave your son a silver gourd?"
She was slightly puzzled and looked at him in surprise.
Zhong Jinnan raised his eyebrows. He was a martial artist, not very tall, at most 1.75 meters, but his overall demeanor was indeed intimidating.
Zhong Jinnan glanced sideways at the direction of her husband and son, his lips curling with an ambiguous smile, and said, "I predict that ten years from now, your son will face a catastrophe, so I’m giving him a gourd to help him through it. If you need my help in ten years, just have someone bring the gourd to Moyang Mountain to find me!"
At that time, Yu Yao’s expression turned unpleasant. Her son was only four years old. Zhong Jinnan was neither a god nor an immortal, just a martial artist. How could he know her son would face a catastrophe in ten years!
Zhong Jinnan also noticed her expression and raised his eyebrow slightly: "What? A Yao doesn’t believe? It doesn’t matter. I believe you will definitely come to me in ten years... definitely!"
That day, Zhong Jinnan raised a cup of clear liquor from the table, drank it, and then left, not appearing again for many years.
But for some reason, she kept the silver gourd he gave.
She didn’t believe his words; it was just that, at the very least, it was a gift for her son, not something to be casually discarded.
However, she also didn’t give the silver gourd to her son. Her four-year-old son was still very young, and there were indeed too many gifts received that day, making it hard to remember this one specifically.
The days that followed were smooth. Her husband’s business grew bigger, the Song Family developed well, and her son was quite clever and sensible.
She felt that in this life, she was very content, and if such days could continue, it would be a form of happiness.
But unexpectedly, in her son’s fourteenth year, her husband suddenly had an accident and became a vegetative state. Song Zhongming, using the excuse that Song Yansheng was still young, temporarily took over the position of CEO of the Song Family.
Her fourteen-year-old son wanted to fight for something, but she stopped him. At that time, she felt that her son and husband’s lives were the most important, disregarding the company, wealth, or status. She didn’t care at all, not in the slightest!
