The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

As soon as Song Lingxue entered her grandfather's room, she was stunned.

This is no place for people to live; it's clearly a warehouse. There's only one bed inside, proving that someone is sleeping here, and there's not even room to turn around.

Song Lingxue remembered that her grandfather's room was quite spacious before she left.

Looking at the scattered cardboard boxes, they were filled with household odds and ends, mostly miscellaneous things that Song Lingfeng had bought over the years, which he had played with for a few days and then no longer wanted.

Guo Rong couldn't bear to throw them away, so she piled them up in her grandfather's room.

It's pitiful that my grandfather, who worked so hard for this family his whole life, ended up in such a state in his later years.

Song Lingxue truly regretted not coming back sooner to take her grandfather away.

She looked around but couldn't find anything that showed her grandfather's whereabouts, except for a bunch of bottles and jars on the bedside table.

Song Lingxue picked it up and looked at it; it was medicine for treating chronic diseases in the elderly.

He's already eaten more than half of it, which shows that Grandpa has been sick for some time.

But Grandpa never mentioned it during the phone calls.

He was probably afraid she would worry while she was away.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the door.

Song Lingxue thought it was her grandfather returning, so she quickly went outside, only to find her younger brother, Song Lingfeng.

He's gained a lot of weight since the last time we met, but he still has that carefree, irresponsible look.

Song Lingxue looked behind him; there was no one there, only him. She asked coldly, "Where's Grandpa? Where did he go?"

Song Lingfeng came back to get something. After glancing at Song Lingxue twice, he said nonchalantly, "How would I know where he went?"

"Don't you know? Grandpa is so old, how could he possibly be away for such a long time? What if something happens to him? Aren't you worried?"

"What do I have to worry about? Don't come back and act all hostile towards me. I didn't do anything to you."

"Song Lingfeng, your grandfather always dotes on you so much, how come you don't know how to be filial at all?"

"Fine, you're filial, the most filial one in the whole family. Besides sending some money home every month, what else have you done? It's still my parents and I who take care of Grandpa. We put in the effort and the money. Now you come back and criticize me. You really know how to use moral blackmail."

Song Lingxue really didn't know who was morally blackmailing whom.

“If you hadn’t treated Grandpa badly, do you think you would have wanted to come back to this house? And you, you’re not a child anymore, still sponging off your parents. You don’t have money to get married, so you ask me for it. Do you think I own a bank? You can’t just ask for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Even if you sold me, I wouldn’t be worth that much.” Song Lingxue said helplessly.

Song Lingfeng said as if he knew something, "That's not necessarily true. Isn't Ye Dong quite interested in you? As long as you get married to him, he'll give you a dowry of 200,000 yuan."

A bride price of 200,000?

No wonder Guo Rong was so eager to pair her up with Ye Dong as soon as she got home.

Even Ye Dong's mother came along, and she acted like a mother-in-law.

It seems she can't stay in this house any longer, otherwise she wouldn't even know she'd been sold.

But her grandfather hasn't been found yet, what should she do?

If all else fails, you'll have to call the police...

But as soon as Song Lingxue took out her phone and dialed the number 11, it was snatched away.

"Song Lingfeng, what are you doing? Give me back my phone. I'm calling the police to find my grandfather."

"Are you crazy? Grandpa didn't abandon you, why are you calling the police for no reason!"

Song Lingxue immediately seized on the loophole in his words, "Do you know where Grandpa is?"

Song Lingfeng said with a slightly evasive look in his eyes, "I told you I don't know, don't ask me."

"Why didn't you tell me where Grandpa is? Did something happen to him? Is he sick and hospitalized?" Song Lingxue thought of a series of questions.

Song Lingfeng impatiently slapped his hand away, "Ugh, are you annoying or what? I said I don't know, and I don't know. If you have any questions, ask Mom. My friend is waiting for me. I'll keep your phone for now, so you don't make any random calls."

Seeing that he was deliberately avoiding the question, Song Lingxue's worries deepened.

She caught up with him, grabbed Song Lingfeng's arm, and said with a serious expression, "You must know where Grandpa is, tell me quickly!"

Not wanting to be bothered by Song Lingxue, Song Lingfeng forcefully pushed her to the ground, then ran out and locked the door behind him.

Song Lingxue couldn't open the door, and she didn't have her phone in her hand.

Suddenly, I felt like I was crying out to heaven and earth in vain.

Song Lingxue's mind raced, and she suddenly remembered that there was a computer in Song Lingfeng's room. She could use it to contact the outside world and also contact her senior brother Han.

Song Lingfeng's room was the largest room in the whole family.

Because his parents doted on him, they gave him the best room in the house from a young age.

The items inside the house were all luxury items that didn't fit the home.

It would cost at least tens of thousands.

It's easy to imagine that her parents favored Song Lingfeng to the point of spoiling him.

They would buy Song Lingfeng anything, even if it meant selling their pots and pans.

Song Lingxue opened Song Lingfeng's computer, worried that it might have a password and wouldn't work.

Unexpectedly, the computer screen lit up and went straight to the main interface.

That's true. Song Lingfeng is a little tyrant in this house, and no one dares to touch his things, so there's no need to set a password or anything.

Song Lingxue quickly logged into her WeChat account.

Suddenly a series of WeChat messages popped up.

Most of the information Han Wenhao showed her was about Han Wenhao.

Song Lingxue immediately replied, "Senior Brother Han, where are you?"

Han Wenhao was startled by the plane and immediately sent WeChat messages to Song Lingxue, but there was no response after several messages. When he tried to call her, her phone was switched off, which made him feel very uneasy.

He was quite excited to finally hear Song Lingxue reply to his message. "Xiaoxue, why was your phone off? Are you alright?"

Song Lingxue's fingers flew across the keyboard. "I'm fine, but my brother locked me in the house and I can't get out. I can only contact you through his computer. But right now, the most important thing is that I don't know where Grandpa is or if he's safe. I'm afraid he's sick and no one will take care of him. Could you please go to the police station and report this to the police for me?"

Han Wenhao sent a voice message in a heavy tone, "Okay, no problem, but you must take good care of yourself. I'll come to your house to find you after I go to the police station."

"Okay, I understand. My mom seems to be back. I can't let her find out. I've sent you my home address." After typing the last few words, Song Lingxue hurriedly shut down the computer because she heard Guo Rong calling her.

Song Lingxue tiptoed out of Song Lingfeng's room and returned to her own room, pretending that nothing had happened, and lay motionless on the bed.

Guo Rong was furious when she saw Song Lingxue acting like everyone owed her something. "What kind of mess did you make today? You offended your future mother-in-law. What good did that do you?"

To "clean up her mess," he even spent over 500 yuan treating the mother and son to a meal at a restaurant.

Song Lingxue sat up in bed and said bluntly, "I am single now, unmarried, have no mother-in-law, and no future mother-in-law. Even if Ye Dong is willing to give you a million-dollar dowry, I will never marry that bastard."

Guo Rong glared at her and said, "You really don't know what's good for you. Where else can you find such a good in-law family? Don't you even look at your own situation? You still have the nerve to complain about others. Luckily, your mother is capable and helped you persuade him. You're not allowed to do such foolish things again, do you hear me?"

Song Lingxue asked coldly, "Have you forgotten why I came back?"

Guo Rong became impatient. "Are you still going on and on? What's so good about that old man that you're so hung up on? Even if you take him away, he won't live for many more years. Besides, I gave birth to you and I raised you. I've never heard you say you'd take me to Haicheng to retire."

“You gave birth to me, that’s true, but you didn’t raise me. It was Grandpa who fed me with rice porridge, and it was Grandpa who supported me through high school by collecting scrap. So it’s only right that I be filial to Grandpa. As for you, I’m already being kind by not severing ties with you.” Song Lingxue had already been heartbroken by her mother, so there was nothing she couldn’t say.

Guo Rong angrily pointed at her nose and said, "You really think you're all grown up now. If I say one thing, you'll be waiting for me there. Fine, you want to see the old man? Okay, but first give me the agreed-upon 500,000."

Song Lingxue clenched her fists and said firmly, "I've already said it, I won't give you a single penny until I see Grandpa."

Guo Rong glanced at her suspiciously, "Five hundred thousand is no small amount. Who knows if you're lying to me or not."

"I can show you my account balance, but Song Lingfeng took my phone." Song Lingxue came up with a plausible excuse.

Guo Rong frowned. If her son hadn't let slip the most important thing, she wouldn't have rushed back so urgently. She calmed Song Lingxue down and said, "Xiaofeng, you won't be back until tomorrow morning. I won't mind waiting one more day. But you must stay home and not go anywhere. Otherwise, you'll never find out where that old man is."

After saying this, as if afraid that Song Lingxue would run away, she turned around and locked the door behind her as she left.

Hearing the sound of the lock clicking shut, Song Lingxue curled her lips into a cold smile. Like mother, like son; even their methods of guarding against her were the same.

She wasn't in a hurry to leave, since Han Wenhao was there to help her out.

But half an hour later, her door was suddenly opened, and a dark figure walked in quietly as if he were a thief.

Song Lingxue immediately became alert and asked, "Who?"

"It's me, Xiaoxue, your fiancé." Ye Dong appeared in front of Song Lingxue with a lewd look on his face.

Song Lingxue said with strong resistance, "Ye Dong, don't talk nonsense. I have nothing to do with you. Also, this is my room. Please leave."

"Want to have a relationship? It's easy. After we sleep together, you'll have any relationship you want. Baby, you've really gotten more and more beautiful in just a few days." Ye Dong said smugly, then took off his coat and walked towards Song Lingxue.

Song Lingxue realized what he was about to do and quickly hid behind him. "Ye Dong, don't go too far. This is my home. If you dare to do anything to me, I will definitely call the police to arrest you."

Ye Dong, however, said without any concern, "Honey, this is your home, but your mother opened the door for me herself. Once we've done it, even if you call the police, it's a family matter, and they can't interfere. Just obediently submit to me, and I guarantee you'll be incredibly happy."

Seeing Ye Dong about to pounce on her, Song Lingxue instinctively shouted, "Help! Help!"
