Besides, that unfilial son has been away from home for many years, and his contact information has changed several times over. It's difficult for him to even get in touch with him, let alone ask him for help.

It seems I still need to ask Chu Xia for help.

Tomorrow will be a good opportunity.

Song Ren was unusually attentive, remembering what Uncle Li had told him: Chu Xia hadn't eaten lunch that day.

I didn't see her eat much at dinner just now, she must still be hungry.

Song Ren casually picked two dishes and had the housekeeper bring them upstairs with him.

"Dong dong..."

When Song Chuxia heard the knocking, she went to open the door and saw Song Ren standing there. Unlike in the past, she didn't let anyone in directly.

"Is something wrong?"

Song Ren smiled and said in a friendly manner, "Chu Xia, I heard from someone that you didn't eat lunch and didn't eat well just now either."

Dad was worried about you, so he specially picked out two of your favorite dishes and brought them over. He also wanted to say a few words to you.

Song Ren waved his hand, signaling the aunt to take the things inside.

Song Chuxia glanced at the food and didn't make things difficult for the aunt, but she stopped Song Ren when he tried to come in.

"I'm a little tired today and don't want to talk. Let's talk another day!"

Song Ren knew that Song Yueyan's matter had already made Chu Xia unhappy, and she was going to see Tang Yu again tomorrow.

At this critical juncture, Song Ren didn't want to upset her any further.

He readily agreed, "Okay, then Dad won't bother you anymore, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Anyway, Tang Yu won't be picking him up until 10 a.m. tomorrow, so he still has time.

Song Chuxia was indeed hungry. She ate a small bowl of rice with the stir-fried vegetables, but didn't touch the fish next to her.

I found it somewhat ridiculous.

Tonight's dishes were clearly prepared specifically for Fu Heng according to his preferences.

Her father, however, kept saying that he had specially chosen what she liked and sent it over.

It seems he didn't know that she finds fishy and has never eaten fish since she was a child!

**

the next morning.

Song Chuxia woke up a little late, and it was already past eight o'clock when she went downstairs for breakfast.

Normally Song Ren would have been at the company by now, but today he was still sitting at the dining table.

The sandwiches in front of me are still intact.

Looks like I haven't had breakfast yet.

Song Yueyan was also sitting nearby, chatting and laughing with Song Ren. When she saw Song Chuxia come downstairs, she greeted her warmly, changing her form of address, "Chuxia, you're awake. Come and have breakfast! Your dad and I have been waiting for you!"

Song Yueyan was smart. Before she could figure out the situation of Tang Yu, Chu Ze and the others, she decided to keep a proper distance from Song Chuxia and get along peacefully.

When Song Chuxia heard that she had stopped calling her "sister" in a deliberately disgusting way, she ignored her and went straight to the empty seat at the dining table.

Song Yueyan didn't expect her to be so disrespectful. She smiled awkwardly and took the initiative to talk to Song Ren, "Dad, Chuxia has arrived. Let's have dinner."

"Okay!" Song Ren nodded. He still had important matters on his mind, so he started chatting with Song Chuxia to make conversation.

"Early Summer, did you sleep well last night?"

In the past, Song Chuxia would have been especially happy to receive such care from him.

It's just a bit too late.

She replied casually, without much interest, "It's fine."

"That's good. Oh, by the way," Song Ren seemed to remember something, "Do you know why Second Master Tang suddenly came to Yuncheng?"

Song Yueyan was also very curious about this question, and quietly pricked up her ears from the side.

Song Chuxia shook her head, pretending not to know.

Actually, she wasn't sure either.

Brother Tang Yu is so busy, he couldn't have come specifically for the thing she asked him to do!

Song Ren sighed with some disappointment, then inquired, "So what did he want to see you about today?"

Song Chuxia shook her head and lied, "I don't know either. Maybe it's because my brother asked him to look after me when he had time. So he took the opportunity of coming to Yuncheng on business to ask me how I was doing."

Song Ren thought this answer was quite reasonable. There were too many people last night, and there were some things that Master Tang might not be comfortable asking in front of others. So they arranged another time.

Song Ren thought that he had been quite good to Song Chuxia all these years. He had never shortchanged her money or mistreated her. He just hadn't shown her much care.

Master Tang wouldn't hold this against him.

However, none of that matters. What matters is how to seize the opportunity of Master Tang's visit to Yuncheng to gain some benefits for the Song family.

"In early summer, Second Master Tang took time out of his busy schedule to show his concern for you. You mustn't be rude!"

You should know how to be grateful!

Besides, your brother studied in Nancheng before, and I'm afraid Master Tang took good care of him. As your father, I should at least show my appreciation.

Here's what we'll do! When you see Master Tang today, mention it to him. See when he's free, and Dad will treat him to a meal as a way of thanking him for taking care of you and your brother.

Song Chuxia is not a naive and innocent girl.

If Father really just wanted to thank Brother Tang Yu, wouldn't it be enough to prepare some gifts for her to take over later?

Knowing that Tang Yu's brother is busy, he still went to the trouble of inviting people out for dinner. He must have some other intention.

However, Song Chuxia still nodded in agreement.

She was afraid that if she didn't agree, Song Ren would keep pestering her with questions, and her departure later wouldn't go smoothly.

"Okay, I'll tell Brother Tang Yu."

"Hey, good!"

Because he was happy, Song Ren ate breakfast much more enjoyably than usual.

At the appointed time, Song Chuxia got into the car and set off on time.

She had assumed Tang Yu would arrange to meet her at a restaurant or hotel, but to her surprise, the driver took her to a very old house.

She had been here once when she was little and had some memories of it; it was the home of Tang Yu's maternal grandfather.

Song Chuxia sat down awkwardly opposite Tang Yu, worried that she might run into other people. However, as a guest in someone's home, she couldn't be impolite and look around.

The little girl's emotions were written all over her face, which Tang Yu could tell at a glance. He handed her the tea he had just brewed, saying, "Don't be nervous, none of your elders are here."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought people here.

Song Chuxia breathed a sigh of relief, holding the teacup in both hands, and eagerly asked about the matter that had been on her mind, "Brother Tang Yu, has there been any result regarding the matter I asked you to investigate?"

"Hmm!" Tang Yu looked at the girl opposite him, hesitating about how to start the conversation.

But upon closer reflection, no matter what he says, he cannot cover up the fact that Song Ren had cheated on his wife. Nor can he prevent the young girl from being hurt by this.

"Actually, your brother already investigated the things you asked me to look into."

Tang Yu simply handed the prepared materials to Song Chuxia.

Song Chuxia took the file bag and pulled out a thick stack of documents inside.

I flipped through the pages one by one.

All of Song Ren's drinking parties over the years, his hotel booking records, transfer records, and call records are clearly documented.
