A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

Song Xichen sighed and said, "This little sister is usually so timid, afraid of things, introverted, and obedient. How could she have caused such a big disaster? Do you know who the boy is?"

Gui'er shook her head and said, "Miss Song has been silent since she entered the hospital. Because she's not feeling well, I didn't dare ask anything, so I asked the servants to keep an eye out for anyone visiting her. Later, I heard that there was a man who was a distant relative of a noble lady in Nanjing, but I don't know what he looks like or where he lives, but it seems Sha Yanyao has already found him."

Upon hearing this, Song Xichen asked, "Did Sha Yanyao do anything to him? Did he kill anyone?"

Gui Er shook her head and said, "I don't know either. This is the first time I've encountered this. I can't remember it and didn't ask anyone to look it up right away, so he got the upper hand. I'm sorry, Brother Xichen."

Song Xichen smiled bitterly, patted her head and said, "Alas, you've done so much for me as a little girl. It's not easy. I told mother at the beginning that although my sister looks calm, she's actually spoiled at heart. She needs to find a man who can coax her all the time. But my parents didn't listen. They thought that the Marshal's Mansion was prestigious, and marrying the eldest son of the Marshal's Mansion and becoming his wife would be an honor. Now everything is fine."

Gui'er comforted him and said, "Fortunately, Miss Song is not seriously injured. By the way, what do you think about Manager Liu's matter?" In fact, this is what she cares about most.

Song Xichen gave her a doting look and said, "Don't worry. I'll come over here and finish Tingting's business, then I'll go meet Chen Zhongyu. We've got inside information that the newly appointed Tian Chuchang will be transferred to Shanghai soon, and he's trying to raise some funds for that trip. To put it bluntly, he's just trying to make a killing before leaving Nanjing."

Gui'er said with a sad face, "I know. Sha Yanyao told me about it a long time ago, but he asked for 80 gold bars. Where can I raise so much money? Besides, I really don't want to be forced to give him such a large sum of money."

Song Xichen nodded and said, "I know, so I will find a way to suppress the money when the time comes."

Gui'er nodded, but she was still worried. She felt that Director Tian would not give in easily.

As the two were discussing, the car arrived in front of a hotel. Guier looked up and saw a Western-style building, three stories high, with the middle floors rising to six stories in a tower-like manner. It was very impressive. The four characters "Central Hotel" were written in large letters on the main entrance.

Song Xichen parked the car and said to Guier, "Wait a moment, pick up my mother." Then he got out of the car and walked in through the main gate.

Gui'er was puzzled. Didn't Mrs. Song say she was not feeling well?

Song Xichen had only been in for a while when he came out with Mrs. Song. She was wearing an exquisite sapphire blue beaded cheongsam, jade earrings and a necklace, had a fashionable perm, and a handbag of the same color as her clothes. She was very elegant, and her demeanor was like a tourist, gracefully preparing to go out for a trip, and she didn't seem to be worried about Song Tingting's affairs at all.

Guier couldn't help but shook her head.

Song Xichen opened the back door for her. She got in and saw Gui'er. She smiled and said, "It's Gui'er."

Gui'er had been cheated by Song so many times in the past that it was impossible for her to be kind to her. However, for Song Xichen's sake, she still smiled and greeted him, "Hello, Mrs. Song."

Song Xichen returned to the car and continued driving to the hospital. Guier brought Mrs. Song and Sha Yanyao to Song Tingting's ward.

When the door opened, Song Tingting in the ward got out of bed excitedly when she saw Mrs. Song. The maid beside her quickly supported her. Mrs. Song hugged Song Tingting distressedly and said, "My dear little girl, you have been wronged."

Song Tingting fell into Mrs. Song's arms, wiping her tears as she said, "The Sha family won't let me go back."

Mrs. Song turned around and said to Gui'er, "Who do you think you are? How dare you bully my daughter like this?"

Gui Er was speechless about the mother and daughter. She said directly, "That's what Madam said. Why don't you go talk to Madam? I'm just an adopted daughter and can't make the decision."

When Mrs. Song heard the word "Madam", her arrogant attitude immediately disappeared without a trace. She pretended not to hear it and lowered her head to comfort Song Tingting.

Gui'er sneered in her heart. She knew that these two people were of the same character. Song Tingting would definitely not be grateful for her care for her during this period, and Mrs. Song felt that she was a soft persimmon and easy to manipulate. If it were not for Song Xichen, Gui'er would not bother to care about Song Tingting's troubles.

Song Xichen was also very worried about Song Tingting when he first entered the room, but now she seems quite normal, with a rosy complexion. Gradually, seeing these two people here endlessly performing the mother-daughter love, he became a little impatient, frowning and asked Song Tingting: "What's going on with you? Who is that person?"

When Song Tingting heard this, she immediately fell into Mrs. Song's arms again, sobbing.

Gui'er didn't want to watch this drama, nor did she want to endure their inexplicable criticism, so she said to Song Xichen, "You guys chat, I'll wait outside."

After saying that, he left the ward and sat down on the chair next to the ward.

Because the door was not closed tightly, Mrs. Song's voice could be heard after a while.

"Are you letting me stay with you for free? Now that something big has happened, how are we going to end it? I'll sell you all to brothels."

"Madam, madam, this is none of our business. We have all tried to persuade the young lady, but she said it was too boring to stay at home."

"You bastard, you still dare to quibble."

After such a big incident, the first people Mrs. Song blamed were the maids and the old woman around Song Tingting. Gui'er couldn't help but feel sympathy for them. They were really unlucky to be with Song Tingting.

"Mother, what's the point of saying this now? I've just talked to Sha Yanyao and his wife. They're determined to get a divorce, and they won't let Tingting return to the Sha Mansion. Sha Yanyao wants us to pick a date together to complete the divorce procedures."

"Oh my god, what should I do?" It was Song Tingting's cry of despair.

"How could they, mother and son, bully others like this? Even if we take a step back, does that mean her son is completely innocent? The child might be their own flesh and blood."

"What nonsense are you talking about? My sister knows best whether she is his child or not. You can tell me for yourself."

Gui'er couldn't help but prick up her ears out of curiosity, but there was no sound from Song Tingting for a long time.

"Do you know where that man came from?" Song Xichen's voice.

"My dear daughter, please tell me quickly." Mrs. Song said anxiously.
