852 Going back to the city



Wang Yufan's call came abruptly which caused Song Yan and Fu Yu Sheng to leave the military district before the others. The rest of the family still wanted to take a few days off from their busy life especially Fu Shu Chang and Li Wenyi who were in their ' I chase and you deflect' period but Song Yan could not stay behind with them, she needed to return to the city and see what was going on with Wang Yufan and his family with her own eyes. 

She left a few talismans with Commander Chen and his family before returning to the Fu residence where she started to pack for her trip back to the city while she was packing for the road trip, someone knocked on her door causing her actions to pause as she turned to the door and said, " Come in." 

Who knows what happened with Song Dong Ming but when he stepped inside his mood was slightly off, he stepped inside her room and then sat on the floor with Song Yan. 

" I could not find your mother, Yan Yan," though Father Song pretended that it was not a big deal in front of Song Ling Yan because he was worried that his son would worry. But in truth he was heartbroken, his wife and him were childhood sweethearts, he basically grew up with his wife before marrying her, he promised that he will treat her well but now he could not even give her a proper burial.

Song Yan who was folding a shirt that she wore quite usually turned to look at her father as she placed the shirt on the pile of clothes in her suitcase and then said, " I know father…. Chu Lian will not tell something like this easily to us, she knows what kind of life she has in front of her which is why she will try to milk it for all its worth." 

" I don't even wish for her to stay alive, how dare she dream of making a comeback,"  Song Dong Ming couldn't wish for anything more than taking Chu Lian's life with his own hands but he dare not to dirty his hands with the blood of that woman. It was already enough that she was still alive after killing his wife and trying to do the same with his son and daughter, he will be a fool if he allowed her to get away!

" If that is the case then you do not have to wait for long Dad," Song Yan calmly patted her father on the back of his hand. She did not wish for her father to blame himself too much and over something which was way out of his control. " You should stay with Old Master Yan and grandfather for the time being, leave the matter of the company to me and brother, we will take care of the matters in the city as for Chu Lian, its better to pretend that she does not exist for the time being." 

Though she was in a hurry to find the corpse of her mother as well, Song Yan knew that the things which are done in a great hurry only result in nothing but a mess. 

Song Dong Ming nodded before he thought about something and then said, " Yan Yan, I will not say anything further about you and Fu Yu Sheng. I can see that man though barely reliable does not wish to take a divorce with you, which is something that I can understand since you are so capable." 

While he was speaking, Song Yan did not speak instead she waited for him to finish speaking. Song Dong Ming was grateful that his daughter was not interrupting him because he wished to finish speaking first,  " I know that you have grown up and have your own plans which is why I will not force my will on you but I hope that you will agree to this request of mine." 

Song Yan was happy with Song Dong Ming's initiative of taking a step back and acknowledging Fu Yu Sheng already which was why she nodded with her eyes lit up and asked, " Dad you can tell me what you want, I will agree to it." 

Song Dong Ming was satisfied with his daughter's attitude, he then nodded and then said with a serious expression, " I don't want anything but I hope that you will not lower yourself in front of that man from now on… as for another child, I know that your husband would want one soon but I will suggest that you will wait unless your husband agrees to stay at home and give a proper childhood to your kid. It's not every day that children as understanding as Chen Chen are born." 

Of course, this was something that Song Yan understood as well which was why she nodded and agreed, " Don't worry Dad, I and Yu Sheng…" She blushed in embarrassment as she added, " We don't have any plans to have another child this soon." 

Though Fu Yu Sheng wanted a daughter, he was not unreasonable. He wanted to stay with Fu Chen first and make up for the lack of fatherly love and attention first before giving birth to another child. 

Only then did Song Dong Ming heave a sigh of relief even his dissatisfaction with Fu Yu Sheng lowered a bit, at least that man was willing to make up for his mistakes. 

Seeing that her father was at ease, Song Yan smiled and said, " Instead of worrying about us Dad, you should take care of yourself. Don't push yourself too much and living your life being locked up for eight years is not a small thing. Go out with your friends, Brother is now capable and can take care of the company." 

" I know …you two were so young when I left and now you two no longer need your dad to hold you up.." as Song Dong Ming spoke his eyes could not help but turn red, though he pretended to be strong, he regretted everything. 

Marrying his daughter away in a hurry, sending his son away such that he will not be harmed —— if he was not in danger he would have kept his children close to his heart all his life!

" Dad, ah…who said that," seeing that her dad was getting upset thinking about the past, Song Yan leaned in close and laid her head on Song Dong Ming's shoulder. " Even if I and brother get old and wrinkly, we will still need you to hold us in your arms and tell us that we are doing fine, without you, we are nothing. Don't say something like this or else even Mother will get upset."
