136 A free meal

Song Yan's expression softened as she walked to Au Mei and placed carefully placed her hand on the little girl's stomach before instilling more of her Yang energy, though she didn't want to waste any more of her Yang energy, it would be really cruel of her if she were to leave this young girl to suffer in pain.

" I can help you," she said as she squeezed Au Mei's soft, white cheeks. Seeing the dull finger marks around her throat she took out a first-grade safety talisman and handed it to her. " Remember to tie this around your neck, as long as you keep wearing it, those things will not be able to hurt you and will stay away."

" Really?" asked Au Mei as she snuggled close to Song Yan, she didn't know why she felt safe with this Aunt next to her but she felt like she has been sheltered under a protective and warm blanket. One that scared the ugly things away, the second Aunt got close to her those things were scared away into hiding!

" Really." assured Song Yan then she turned to look at Old man Au who was lovingly gazing at his granddaughter and said, " I can treat her curse but for that, I need you to find a red diamond," when Old man Au looked at her in surprise, she smiled and patiently explained. "It's not for me, a curse is like energy…its neither a spirit nor a demon just a fragment of vengeance that has morphed into something much more evil. And because of this, I can not capture it nor can I destroy it, the only option is to transfer into a shell that's strong enough to hold the curse in lest it breaks free again."

Old man Au frowned and suddenly asked after thinking for a while, " If the curse can be transferred to something other than a living being why didn't that master do it before? Instead of harming my daughter and granddaughter?"

" Because he is not capable enough," said Song Yan with a casual shrug. " Transferring a curse to a shell takes much more power and cultivation that he lacks that's why he couldn't do it and suggested such a cure to Yu Yize."

"I see." Old man Au's face turned heavy as he nodded.

Song Yan took her leave after she was done settling the matter of the Au family, though she and Fu Yu Sheng left together, she was surprised that Wang Yufan chased after them almost immediately.

"Sister-in-law, why didn't you wait for me? I didn't even get a chance to say thank you properly to you yet and you already walked out of the ward." As soon as Wang Yufan caught up with the two of them at the hospital entrance, he hurried over to them and complained looking like a golden retriever who has been abandoned by his master.

" Didn't you thank me when you paid me the twenty million that you promised?" said Song Yan with a small smile.

" How can that be enough Sister-in-law? That was just the payment for your hard work it has nothing to do with the gratitude that I feel towards you. In fact, I haven't even apologised for the trouble that I caused you," he added as he sheepishly rubbed the back of his nape. " I called you here and you were insulted without any reason, that shouldn't have happened——"

"It is a great thing that you realise that such a thing shouldn't have happened," before Song Yan could say anything Fu Yu Sheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Yufan with unhappiness wafting all over his body. " If a young child's life wouldn't have been on the line, I wouldn't have let this matter slide, Yufan——"

Song Yan placed her hand on his forearm and motioned him to come close. Frowning Fu Yu Sheng did as she asked and she carefully whispered in his ears, " What are you getting angry for? I have been insulted throughout our marriage by your family."

That caused Fu Yu Sheng to shut up resentfully, he really can't find a moment of peace because of his idiotic siblings.

After she was done dealing with her husband, she turned to look at Wang Yufan and smiled pleasantly. " I am not upset but I would like it if there is no repetition of this or else I will make you run around the city —— Naked." Does she look like she cannot take care of herself?

For eight years when she needed him to protect her, he wasn't there for her and now that she was capable of protecting herself he was standing up for her? What a joke. Now she had no use for him.

Wang Yufan swallowed, he did not know whether Song Yan was joking with him or was she serious but he didn't dare to take it as just a passing joke. He curled his lips in a smile and respectfully said, " Of course not, I wouldn't dare. The next time someone tries to insult sister in law, I will fight with my life, with them."

" That's better but remember to do that before I arrive, because then I have to waste my time." Song Yan's eyes curved up into crescents as she smiled causing goosebumps to break all over the two men, who shuddered under her dangerous smile. How can someone so pretty look like a witch?

" Ah…Anyway, sister-in-law, it's almost lunchtime… why don't you two come with me? I just found a really good restaurant just down this lane, their pecking roasted duck is the best." Wang Yufan suggested with a smile, displaying his pearly white teeth. " My treat?"

" Do you think I——" Fu Yu Sheng who wanted to return home as soon as with his wife opened his mouth to reject the suggestion when someone painfully stomped on his foot. Surprised, he looked down and saw Song Yan digging her heel in the tip of his shoe, he slowly turned his face in her direction with a questioning look to which she simply smiled and whispered under her breath. "It's a free meal, you better chose the rest of the words very carefully."

Fu Yu Sheng visibly surrendered under her threat and fake smiled at Wang Yufan before saying, " Do you think that pecking duck will be enough? I need Zhajiangmian too."

That day the CEO of the Fu corporation got his free Zhajiangmian.
