I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 298

Song Huaiyan went to see Song Zhenyan as promised. Song Zhenyan was indeed recuperating at the hospital. From her expression, he could see that her injuries were quite serious. She wasn’t in a good mood, hence she only wanted a short meeting. “Are you here today because of the same matter? I’ve made myself clear. I won’t help you with Yan and Jingyu anymore.”

Song Huaiyan was infuriated by what she said. “Have we as siblings, reached the stage where we have nothing else to say?” He didn’t expect that to be the first thing she said.

Song Zhenyan asked, “Then tell me, what else can we talk about?”

“You… Fine, I admit that it’s about yesterday’s matter. That…” Song Huaiyan hesitated for a while. “I’m just here to ask you about one thing!”

“Fine, go ahead!” Song Zhenyan calmed her breathing as she leaned back on the bed. She then looked at Song Huaiyan and said, “As long as it’s something that’s within my power, I won’t refuse!”

Song Huaiyan hesitated for a moment and said, “When Jingyu was hysterical, did she mention anything about a child?”

“Child?” Song Zhenyan was shocked as she didn’t expect Song Huaiyan to ask such a question. “What child?” She did not hear anything about a child, however, there was something in Song Huaiyan’s expression. “When did Jingyu…” She held her tongue suddenly.

“What is it?”

Song Zhenyan shook her said and asked, “Why are we discussing a child?”

“I’ve asked someone to look into what happened. The photos that Jingyu saw were of a child. It’s a picture of a baby. Is that what happened?”

“This…” Song Zhenyan shook her head. “I am not sure either!”

“How can you not be sure? You were there that night. How can you not know what was in that picture she saw?”

“I really don’t know. My attention was on Jingyu the whole time; where would I still find time for that? She was indeed holding a photo, but I didn’t see it clearly. They were cut into pieces by Jingyu. Besides, I was too distracted by her episode to notice anything… By the way, she did mention Shen Qianan. I initially thought that she was triggered by something related to Shen Qianan!”

“Shen Qianan?” Song Huaiyan’s pupils dilated a little and his face darkened. He pinched the bridge of his nose and said, “Alright, I understand now. You should rest well! I’ve been in Jiang City long enough, and Jingyu’s condition needs immediate treatment. I’ll take her back to the capital with me, as for you… You’re a member of the Fu clan so it’s natural for you to continue staying there!”

“Huaiyan,” Song Zhenyan called out to him. “What does Jingyu’s breakdown have anything to do with Shen Qianan and the child? What are you hiding from me?”

Song Huaiyan froze as he shook his head immediately. “What is there to hide from you? Didn’t I tell you everything I know already? Alright, my flight is in the afternoon. I need to go back and pack. Jingyu is waiting at the hotel for me!”

Song Huaiyan left without even looking back, while Song Zhenyan didn’t feel any better despite what he told her. In fact, she felt even more unsettled. Song Zhenyan had the feeling that her brother was hiding something from her. However, she had no clue as to what it was.

Unknown to them, their conversation was repeated verbatim for Fu Chengyan to hear. He fell into a momentary silence after hearing everything that was discussed between Song Huaiyan and Song Zhenyan.

“Did you hear that just now?” Fu Chengyan looked up at Zhou Zheng who stood at attention in response. “Yes, Mr. Fu!”

“What do you think?”

“It appears your mother doesn’t know anything about this. However, as for Shen Qianan’s matter, I’m sure she knows some of it. Your uncle, though, is definitely hiding something from her. It is likely something that has to do with Song Jingyu. As for the child… I think it certainly does exist. He…”

Fu Chengyan raised his hand. “Go now and investigate further. Do we still have our contacts at the capital from three years ago?”

“Yes, we do!” Zhou Zheng laughed as he knew Fu Chengyan was doing this for real now.

As long as there was some room for doubt, Fu Chengyan would not act relentlessly. Prior to this, he did not take any action on the account of his mother. However, now that the Song family had offered one of their own heads on the chopping block, it would be too enticing for him to refuse.

“I will gather them and put them into action at the capital. What about your mother?” Zhou Zheng was still concerned about Song Zhenyan as she was also a member of the Song family.

Fu Chengyan smiled wryly in response. “Just go ahead, you don’t have to worry about her.” Since Song Huaiyan had chosen to leave Song Zhenyan with the Fu clan, he no longer had to worry about her.

“I’ll proceed as instructed.”

Fu Chengyan motioned Zhou Zheng to leave. He then made a call to the Fu residence.

It was the old butler who picked up. Fu Chengyan asked about Ning Xin and got to know that Song Zhenyan had not troubled her recently, so she was able to have some peace. Also, with Fu Heng’s care and attention, it seemed that Ning Xin’s condition had gradually improved.

When Fu Chengyan ended the call, he remained silent for a period of time before going downstairs.

Shi Nuan was watching TV in the living room. It was a comedy and Shi Nuan was rolling all over the sofa laughing. She laughed so hard that even her tears came out.
