Chapter 1699: Chapter 1343: Not Fond of Long-Distance Marriages (Part 2)

Song Yansheng spent considerable effort clearing these tumors, even harshly reprimanding Chi Rui for it.

Chi Rui felt very innocent.

Song Yansheng’s reason was that he initially did not plan to bring Chi Rui back to the country, wanting him to stay abroad to manage the investment company, but Chi Rui insisted on returning.

Song Yansheng reluctantly had to find a professional manager to help manage the overseas company.

Upon hearing this bizarre reason, Chi Rui really wanted to cry.

At that time, he did request to come back with Song Yansheng, but Song Yansheng never said he couldn’t return!

It’s just bad luck that he ran into trouble.

During this time, Shi Nuan took a few days off to return to the country, first visiting Song Xiuwen and Yu Yao, and later visiting Shi Yuanbo.

After six months of rehabilitation treatment, Song Xiuwen’s speech had become very clear, and he could slowly walk with support.

With Yu Yao accompanying him daily, his mental state was also quite good.

While Song Yansheng was drinking tea with Yu Yao, she asked about Aunt Hui.

Yu Yao said, "I have long been aware of her resignation, and I didn’t mention it to you because I know Aunt Hui is different from Aunt Tong. While she is sincere towards the Song Family and your father, she is not sincere towards me. I initially sent her to Song Mansion for you, taking this into account. Now that your father has awakened, it is even more impossible to keep her. The Song Family has been through turmoil for so long that finally it is peaceful now, and sending her away is a good thing. However, considering she has taken care of you and the Song Family for so many years, don’t treat her entirely unfairly."

When Aunt Hui resigned, Song Yansheng didn’t interfere at all but considering she had taken care of the Song Family and him for many years, he gave her quite a generous salary.

However, recently, Aunt Hui’s son was deceived, squandered all the money Song Yansheng gave her, and caused a lot of trouble.

Aunt Hui, being helpless, desperately sought assistance from Yu Yao. Her words were very tactful, essentially hoping to return to the old mansion to continue caring for Yu Yao and Song Xiuwen.

Yu Yao is not a fool; she had noticed early on that Aunt Hui’s affection for Song Xiuwen was different.

But she knew her husband’s temperament, that he would act appropriately, and understood that even if Aunt Hui had thoughts, she wouldn’t dare actually do anything.

So she turned a blind eye and let it pass.

Later when the incident with Song Xiuwen occurred, the Song Family quickly fell, and many servants resigned and left, but Aunt Tong and Aunt Hui stayed.

She retained Aunt Hui without exposing her because she knew at that time Aunt Hui was genuinely heartfelt towards the Song Family.

This was the consideration when she arranged for her at Song Mansion later.

But no woman would keep a woman who covets her husband by her side forever, even if she realistically cannot do anything.

However, the incident with Aunt Tong is still vivid, causing Yu Yao heartache even to this day. So upon hearing Aunt Hui had fallen on hard times, she couldn’t help but want to provide some support.

Song Yansheng understood his mother’s nature, nodded, and agreed. After all, a single phone call could ease his mother’s mind, why wouldn’t he do it?

Yu Yao continued, "Besides, I want to talk to you about Qing Yang’s matter..."

Song Yansheng slightly furrowed his brow but said nothing.

Yu Yao sighed and said, "I know you have some prejudice against Qing Yang and suspect she may have caused some discord, yet if it weren’t for my sake, her outcome might have been no better than Xiangling and Jingyun. But now, her parents are in trouble, Yu Dou as a child has divorced her, and I can’t help but feel for her..."

Song Yansheng furrowed his brows without speaking.

Yu Yaodao said, "I know you don’t like hearing these things, but Qing Yang is Xiao Chuan’s sister, and Xiao Chuan saved your life. The past grievances all originated from Song Zhongming, who has now faced his retribution. Your father’s health is also improving, and I no longer want to ask for too much, as endless revenge leads nowhere. Do you understand what I mean?"

Song Yansheng’s thin lips moved slightly, nodding, "I understand..."

After a pause, he asked, "Then what is mother’s intention? Feel free to say."

Yu Yao said, "It’s like this, I heard Song Zhongming once gave Qing Yang ten percent of Song Family’s shares, though Nanshan Residence has completely fallen. Qing Yang is still young, and she needs to carry on with her future life. But now she’s been dragged down by Song Zhongming and divorced Yu Dou, and meeting someone suitable again in the future will be so challenging.

She also carries the Song surname and was once cherished as a great-granddaughter by your grandfather. As members of the Song Family, how can we watch these things happen without caring?

Naturally, Song Family is yours now, whether to give the shares or not is your decision. But I hope, even if you don’t give, at least let outsiders know that we, the Song Family, won’t let the family name be troubled by Song Zhongming’s actions or treat Qing Yang harshly just because she is Song Zhongming’s daughter..."
