#243 - Chapter 243 Song Shikang’s estrangement!

Xu Mengyao: "Qianqian, it's very late today. Be a good girl and go to sleep. Let Daddy tell you a story. If you don't sleep, there won't be time for a story."

Lin Qianqian nodded.

Xu Mengyao hung up the video call quickly.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

A dozen minutes later, Lin Qianqian fell asleep.

Xu Mengyao sent a message to Lin Chen: "Husband, how is it going? Is everything going smoothly on your end?"

Lin Chen had booked a business suite.

There was a small living room outside the bedroom.

He went to the living room and made a video call to Xu Mengyao. Xu Mengyao had finished her shower and was sitting on the bed wearing a silk nightgown.

"Husband."

Seeing Lin Chen, Xu Mengyao said sweetly.

Lin Chen looked at Xu Mengyao "greedily." Xu Mengyao said coquettishly, "Husband, what kind of look is that?"

"A look that wants to eat you up."

Lin Chen chuckled.

A faint blush appeared on Xu Mengyao's face.

She said shyly, "Husband, I'm talking about serious matters. What's the situation with the Song family now?"

Lin Chen told her about the Song family's situation, but he didn't mention the contents of the will to Xu Mengyao over the phone.

Xu Mengyao said, "Husband, from what you're saying, it's very likely that Song Shikai's wife was the one who did it. Song Shikai might also be aware of it."

"They are really terrible people."

"Old Master Song was so good to them!"

Lin Chen: "They are different from ordinary families. The Song family has assets of 300 billion yuan, and the interests involved are too great."

"Husband, the disputes in wealthy families are very cruel. Don't get involved. Come back as soon as possible after Old Master Song's funeral."

Xu Mengyao said worriedly.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, wife. I'll definitely be fine."

The right to distribute Old Master Song's inheritance is in his hands.

Moreover, the country won't let anything happen to him. Song Shikai and the others might dare to resort to dirty tricks, but they wouldn't dare to use guns.

The nature of the matter would be different if they used guns.

As long as they don't use guns, what can happen to him?

Does the Song family think they can find a way to have the police arrest him?

"Husband, I know you're capable, but you still have to be careful."

Xu Mengyao said.

Lin Chen said with a smile, "Don't worry, we haven't gotten married yet, and we haven't consummated our marriage. I'll definitely be careful."

"Hmph, it's good that you know."

Xu Mengyao snorted softly.

The two chatted for a long time, and Xu Mengyao reluctantly hung up the video call. She had to get up early tomorrow to go to another city for a meeting.

Usually, Xu Guofeng would handle these kinds of meetings, but now that Lin Chen has taken Lin Qianqian away from Modu, it's okay for her to run around.

...

In the middle of the night.

The Song family's mourning hall was set up.

"Beep beep!"

Song Shize's phone rang.

He answered the phone, and the person on the other end said, "President Song, the results are out. There is indeed a problem with the perfume. It contains a very rare substance."

"This substance will evaporate, and it won't be detectable after a long time."

Song Shize said in a deep voice, "Will this cause allergies?"

"Not necessarily, it depends on the individual's situation. But after analyzing your father's situation, we have determined that this substance did cause him to have an allergic reaction."

The person on the other end of the phone said.

"Understood, thank you."

Song Shize hung up the phone.

He told Song Shikai and Song Qingquan about the situation.

Song Qingquan said angrily, "Big brother, this is murder! The mastermind behind the scenes wants to put the blame on Wan'er and Lin Chen."

Song Shikai: "Big brother, third brother, I know you suspect me, because I might benefit from this."

"But have you considered the possibility that external forces are trying to tear the Song family apart?"

"The enemy's goal may be to turn us brothers against each other."

Song Shize nodded slightly.

He knew that the most likely culprit was Song Shikai and his wife, but the possibility that Song Shikai mentioned also existed.

The Song family has many enemies both domestically and internationally.

In the process of development, they would offend other forces, and after they developed, many people would definitely be envious. People who seem to be close friends on the surface may be enemies.

"Big brother, did Dad leave a will?"

Song Shikai asked.

Song Shize shook his head: "Probably not. Dad passed away suddenly and may not have had time to leave a will."

Song Shikai: "Has a lawyer contacted you yet?"

"No."

Song Shize nodded.

Song Shikai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The fact that a lawyer hadn't called after so long meant that their father probably hadn't left any will.

Without a will, it would be every man for himself.

His wife's family had a strong influence, so even if Song Shize was the head of the family, Song Shikai wouldn't be afraid of him at all.

As for Song Qingquan... Song Shikai didn't take him seriously.

"Big brother, third brother, there's something I want to say. Although Lin Chen didn't kill Dad, his cooking did make the situation worse."

"I suggest we distance ourselves from him in the future."

Song Shikai said in a deep voice.

Song Shize: "Dad valued Lin Chen because he was worth being valued. It wouldn't be good for us to distance ourselves from him."

Song Shikai said: "Big brother, as far as I know, Lin Chen is an extremely skilled chef, which allows him to make many connections. He has already made some."

"Dad valued him because of this, right?"

He had only found out about this, and didn't know that Lin Chen was Lin Yu.

--The state's blockade made it difficult to investigate.

Song Qingquan said, "Second brother, if we distance ourselves from him, what about Wan'er?"

Song Shikai: "Wan'er is eating normally now, right? In that case, is there any need for you to be with him? Third brother, you have a good relationship with him. What do you want to do?"

"Do you want to use him to compete with big brother for the position of family head?"

A strange look flashed in Song Shize's eyes. Lin Chen was very capable and would become even more capable in the future. He had a decent relationship with Lin Chen, but not as good as Song Qingquan's.

He definitely wouldn't be an enemy of Lin Chen.

With Lin Chen's calligraphy, he must be on the higher ups list.

Song Shize wanted to strengthen his relationship with Lin Chen.

As long as he also had a good relationship with Lin Chen, Lin Chen would never help Song Qingquan to seize his position as family head.

"Second brother, don't talk nonsense."

"I also have a good relationship with Young Master Lin."

Song Shize said in a deep voice.

Song Qingquan looked at his second brother, and a look of disappointment appeared in his eyes.

He used to think that his second brother was a good person, but now, in his eyes, his second brother was becoming more and more unfamiliar.

"Big brother, I'm just mentioning it."

"Third brother, don't take it to heart. I'm not saying that if you have a good relationship with Lin Chen, you will definitely seize big brother's position as family head."

Song Shikai said calmly.

He sneered in his heart, he didn't believe that once the seed of suspicion was planted, Song Shize wouldn't have any thoughts in the future.

Lin Chen's network of connections might become stronger and stronger, and Song Qingquan's help might also become stronger and stronger.

Even if the Song family became stronger, what significance would it have for Song Shize if he wasn't the family head?

"Second brother, stop talking."

"Let's work together to hold Dad's funeral first!"

Song Shize said in a deep voice.

Song Shikai and Song Qingquan nodded.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning.

Lin Qianqian opened her eyes and said cutely, "Daddy, that place wasn't fun yesterday. Can we go somewhere else?"

"Of course, we can."

Lin Chen kissed Lin Qianqian and said.

The memorial service was tomorrow, so he didn't need to go there today.

Last time, he went to the Song family to attend a birthday banquet, and this time he was going to the Song family again, without taking Lin Qianqian out to have fun.

"Qianqian, where do you want to go to play?"

Lin Chen asked.

Lin Qianqian said happily, "Daddy, I'm okay with anything. I'm happy as long as I'm with Daddy."
