Chapter 1275 - 1194: Lost, Means It Doesn’t Belong to You

Actually, Song Yansheng had thought about Gu Zheng’s ideas ever since he returned. He knew there were many contradictions in his deductions.

If Zhong Jinnan had ties with Xue Mobei, it’s quite possible, but to say they are the same person seems beyond imagination.

Moreover, the entanglement between Zhong Jinnan and his mother existed even before marriage.

Although he didn’t fully understand, he knew that both Zhong Jinnan and his father pursued his mother back then, and his mother chose his father.

That’s why that night Zhong Jinnan asked his mother: Did she ever regret not choosing him!

Gu Zheng saw Song Yansheng remain silent. He hinted at some things but didn’t delve too deeply.

As long as Song Yansheng understands, that’s enough.

After taking a deep breath, he said, "Alright, don’t think too much. Even if Zhong Jinnan and Xue Mobei aren’t the same person, there must be some connection between them. I feel that in order to find Xue Mobei, we should start with Zhong Jinnan. You know? I have a feeling that once we find Xue Mobei, we might be able to rescue A qing!"

...

Song Yansheng had always disliked Zhong Jinnan.

But he also had to admit, if it wasn’t for Zhong Jinnan, both he and his mother, and even his father, wouldn’t have survived until now.

Many helped the Song Family back then, like Old Sir Xu, the entire Qu Family, and Ji Yunjin.

But the true reason she and her mother were safe domestic and abroad for seven years was Zhong Jinnan’s protection.

Zhong Jinnan spent ten years selecting Qin Ran and Yan Ke, assigning them separately to protect his parents at home and him.

Song Yansheng wasn’t very aware of his parents’ situation domestically, but abroad, Yan Ke saved him several times from danger.

Yan Ke had a rebellious personality, yet for seven years, he protected him diligently because it was his Godfather Zhong Jinnan’s instruction.

Similarly, Qin Ran protected his parents, including agreeing to his request to protect Shi Nuan, also because of Zhong Jinnan’s instruction.

This man was a benefactor to the Song Family, but because of the sordid thing he witnessed that night, he couldn’t bring himself to like him.

And probably never will in this lifetime.

As for the suspicion that Zhong Jinnan and Xue Mobei might be the same person, that’s probably just a feeling he has.

He knows it’s not logical, yet he still wants to imagine and confirm it boldly.

But human feelings often are wrong, inaccurate.

However, Gu Zheng is right. Even if it’s unlikely they are the same person, there must be some relationship between them.

Once the relationship is uncovered and Xue Mobei is found, everything will resolve itself, and A qing can be rescued.

And the key figure right now is actually: Xue Mobei!

Song Yansheng squinted slightly, suddenly wondering, with Liao Qinghe frequently visiting Zhou Hui these past days, has he gained anything?

And how to make this man willing to share what he’s learned.

Song Yansheng naturally didn’t believe Liao Qinghe would tell him voluntarily.

That man is as proud as he is, and even if he wants to share, he probably wouldn’t say a word unless he sees you bowing your head.

It’s really quite a headache.

When Shi Nuan and Song Yansheng went downstairs, Liao Qinghe was sitting in the living room reading the newspaper.

Seeing the two of them, he cheerfully greeted them, "Morning, Mr. Song, Mrs. Song!"

Shi Nuan felt awkward; was it still early by now? It was already quite late.

Song Yansheng responded in his usual tone and replied to Liao Qinghe with, "Morning!"

Aunt Hui walked in, saying breakfast had been prepared, and Song Yansheng asked Liao Qinghe, "Mr. Liao, have you had breakfast yet?"

Liao Qinghe shrugged, "I didn’t rise particularly early today either. I went for a walk, and when I saw the curtains drawn open on the second floor, I guessed Mr. Song and Mrs. Song must be up, so I asked Aunt Hui to prepare breakfast, yes, three portions!"

It became clear that Liao Qinghe sitting there reading the paper was just a pretense, waiting for the two of them to come down and have breakfast together, was the real deal!

Song Yansheng smiled, "Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Liao!"

"No worries, no worries. We’re all men; I understand!"

Liao Qinghe’s words instantly made Shi Nuan blush.

The words sounded ordinary, but the meaning was not. Shi Nuan wasn’t foolish; she could tell.

If nothing had happened between her and Song Yansheng a few days earlier, she wouldn’t have thought much of it.

But since something did happen last night, Shi Nuan couldn’t help but overthink it.

Seeing Shi Nuan blush, Liao Qinghe found it quite amusing. In fact, Shi Nuan and her Younger Aunt Xu Jing did look a bit alike.

But Shi Nuan was obviously a more reserved and shy girl, while Xu Jing, well, that woman was not.

Much like the nickname he gave her, she was quite feisty!

...

Initially, Shi Nuan was in a rush for breakfast because she was afraid of being late.

But seeing the two men eating leisurely, and considering that there probably wouldn’t be much work at the company, she decided to go with the flow.

That day, Song Yansheng was unusually calm and even chatted a bit with Liao Qinghe.

The breakfast atmosphere had lost the terse and competitive feeling of previous days, and Shi Nuan found it surprisingly unsettling.

After breakfast, the three of them left the Song Mansion together and once again prepared two cars.

Song Yansheng and Shi Nuan in one car, and Liao Qinghe in another.

But as they passed the gate, Shi Nuan suddenly asked the driver to stop.

Song Yansheng, not knowing the reason, asked, "What’s wrong? Did you forget something?"

Shi Nuan shook her head, "No, I just want to get off for a moment. Second Uncle, please wait for me!"

Song Yansheng squinted but still didn’t understand. He only saw the young girl swiftly get out of the car and then head toward the guardhouse.

Then he saw a man come out of the guardhouse. Shi Nuan exchanged a few words with him and then turned back.

Once she sat back beside Song Yansheng, Shi Nuan signaled the driver to go.

On the way, Shi Nuan explained the reason to Song Yansheng.

Last Friday, Shi Nuan had taken a cab back without any money and borrowed fifteen yuan from a security guard.

This weekend, the guard happened to be off duty, so Shi Nuan couldn’t return the money.

Today, as she passed the gate and saw the guard was there, she got out to return the fifteen yuan.

Song Yansheng laughed after hearing this, "I was wondering what it was; it turned out you went to pay back money?"

Shi Nuan looked at Song Yansheng, "What else could it be? What did Second Uncle think?"

Song Yansheng shook his head, "I thought maybe Nuannuan lost something and went to the guardhouse to ask about it!"

Shi Nuan "hmmed" and said, "There’s nothing much for me to lose. Some things, if lost, simply don’t belong to you. Getting them back is great, but if not, one must learn to let go!"

Song Yansheng smiled and nodded, "Nuannuan is quite right, but I have a somewhat stubborn personality, especially about things that originally belong to me. Even if I have to pay a higher price, I will find ways to reclaim them. No, I must reclaim them!"
