A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

Ah Cheng tutted his words and said, "This young master is truly not an ordinary person. He may look cowardly, but he's actually quite capable. In my opinion, Miss, I'm afraid that after he returned from the hospital that day, he had already secretly arranged for someone to keep an eye on him."

"They said they didn't go to the hospital because they felt embarrassed, but in reality, they did it to let others down and figure out who the adulterer was."

Gui'er asked worriedly, "Who is that adulterer? Have you found out? Did Sha Yanyao kill him?"

Ah Cheng said, "I did find out. I bribed the nurse and the eldest young lady, ahem, the maidservant beside Miss Song. Oh, it was a rich lady that Miss Song often interacted with, and the young master of a branch of her family."

"He's called a young master, but he's actually just an ordinary guy. He just took advantage of his family's influence and went to school for a few years. He even went to Hong Kong and the United States to study. After returning, he was neither high nor low, and he didn't want to be an employee. He spent all day eating and drinking at the rich lady's house. Then he planned to see if he could attract the daughter of a high-ranking official or a wealthy businessman to be his son-in-law."

"And I heard that guy has a pretty face and a clean shaven head, but he's a bad character. He's gotten several girls pregnant, but he found out they were from ordinary families and weren't willing to marry him. It was that rich lady who paid to settle the matter."

When Gui'er heard this, she knew without hesitation that it must be this pretty boy who said sweet words to Song Tingting, making her bewildered, and then the two of them had an affair.

She asked, "So what's happening with this guy now?"

Ah Cheng said, "I haven't had time to find his residence yet. I just heard what the young master said. I'm afraid he has already captured him and is probably holding him somewhere. Do we need to find him?"

Gui Er shook her head and said, "Forget it. I don't want to get involved in this mess again. Let's go to Xu's Bookstore."

Arriving at Xu's Bookstore, she walked in and looked left and right. Xu Wenjie was inside and his assistants were sorting books outside.

Gui'er walked in and pretended to pick up a book. Xu Wenjie saw her and hurried over to ask, "Is there an emergency?"

Gui'er smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's not a bad thing. Song Xichen is coming over, and I want to tell you, can we work with him to rescue Manager Liu?"

Xu Wenjie said in surprise, "How did you know he was coming? The higher-ups just made the decision."

Gui'er hadn't expected the organization to call Song Xichen over to help rescue Manager Liu, so she smiled and said, "I had no idea the organization had made such an arrangement. It's just that Song Tingting and Sha Yanyao at the Sha Mansion had a little conflict, and they're probably going to divorce, so they asked me to call Song Xichen and have him come over."

Xu Wenjie smiled with emotion after hearing this: "The marriage between the eldest son of a warlord family and the daughter of the richest man in the city can't even survive!"

Gui'er felt that there was a little bit of gloating in his words, but as his fiancée was Sha Yanyao's ex-wife, it was normal for him to laugh at the joke.

Afterwards, the two agreed to wait for Song Xichen to come and meet again to discuss what to do, and Guier went back.

Song Xichen arrived in the afternoon of the next day. Gui'er was still in school at that time. After class, she originally wanted to go to the small hotel to meet Manager Zhang, but Acheng told her that Song Xichen was here, so she quickly changed her mind and rushed to Sha Mansion.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Song Xichen and Sha Yanyao sitting in the hall chatting, and Guier hurried over.

Song Xichen also stood up with a smile, and came over to say, "Are you out of school? Well, it seems like you've grown taller again. You've become a grown-up girl now."

Gui'er felt a little embarrassed and asked him quickly, "Brother Xichen, are you feeling alright? Did you suffer in that cell?"

Song Xichen took Gui'er's hand and sat back on the sofa, saying, "It's okay, it's okay. After all, my parents have some respect in Jiangcheng, and they gave me money."

Sha Yanyao and his wife were both there. His wife smiled and said, "Didn't Mrs. Song and Mr. Song come over? With such a big thing happening, aren't they worried?"

Song Xichen said a little embarrassedly, "Father happened to have a business deal and couldn't leave. Mother did come, but she's a little tired from the long journey and is resting in the hotel now. She asked me to greet Madam and say she's very sorry."

The lady sneered and said, "I knew she wouldn't come. Well, take her back. So your girl is really ruthless. She's simply throwing our family's reputation on the ground. But we still took good care of her and sent her to the hospital for treatment in time. She has three good meals a day and all kinds of nutritional supplements like milk powder. But since he likes that jerk, we'll make it happen. Divorce her quickly and let her marry him. Otherwise, when she gets pregnant, everyone will know about her scandal."

Song Xichen's face turned pale and blue, he felt a little angry, a little embarrassed, and a little awkward.

Sha Yanyao sighed and said to his wife, "Mother, why are you saying all this to Xichen? It's not his fault." Then he turned to Song Xichen and said, "At this point, I don't know what to say to him. Go to the hospital to see her, and then make an appointment to go and complete the divorce procedures."

Song Xichen spoke with some difficulty, "Yan Yao, I don't know how things turned out like this. Tingting is usually very obedient at home, but I didn't expect that she would get into such a big trouble now. I'd better go to the hospital to see her first. Gui'er, I don't know the way very well, so you can come with me."

Gui'er immediately said, "Okay." But when she turned around, she saw the lady's gloomy face and felt a little timid again.

Sha Yanyao nodded and said, "That's fine. When I took Tingting to the hospital that day, my sister went with me. She knew the way."

Gui'er followed Song Xichen out of the house and got into the car as if she had been pardoned.

On the way, Song Xichen asked, "I was originally ordered by my superiors to come and rescue Manager Liu, but I didn't expect to receive your call before I set off. I thought this was an excuse you made up for me. What's going on?"

Gui'er sighed and said, "Brother Xichen, since Miss Song entered the Sha Mansion, I haven't had much interaction with her. I don't know who her friends are in Nanjing, or who she hangs out with to play mahjong. She's never taken me out. We just meet at home and chat occasionally."

"That day, I was doing homework in my room when I suddenly heard a noise outside. When I ran out, I saw her fall down the stairs. I wanted to feel her pulse when I came out, but she refused and went back to her room to rest. After a while, I heard a commotion outside. My eldest brother wanted to take her to the hospital. When I saw that no female relatives were going with her, I got in the car and went to the hospital. The doctor said she was pregnant. My eldest brother's face turned pale at the time. He said they had been sleeping in separate beds recently... That's how it happened."
