Chapter 598 Memory Decayed
After disembarking from the cruise s.h.i.+p, Song Yunxuan was taken home directly.
Song Yunxuan headed for the study to read the materials after arriving home.
Seeing that the materials she brought back from the Shao enterprise were put on the desk in one piece, Song Yunxuan sat down on the chair, tapping her fingers.
Chu Mochen was going to the WS, but Song Yunxuan had no idea what he went there for.
However, she had to handle domestic affairs well, and she couldn’t make any mistakes.
She was about to achieve all her goals, so she could not be beaten down now.
She read the materials one by one. When it was about lunchtime, Mei Qi called her.
Mei Qi came straight to the point, “Xuanshui Dragon King has arrived. Would you like to have lunch with him today, Manager Song?”
Hearing Mei Qi’s words, Song Yunxuan slightly pressed her lips, replying, “I’m not available this noon. Keep the master company for me.”
Mei Qi nodded in agreement, replying, “You can rest a.s.sured, Manager Song. I’ll make him feel at home.”
Song Yunxuan nodded, adding, “I’ll wait for him in the Rose Garden at 2 o’clock in the afternoon.”
Mei Qi nodded, replying, “I’ll bring Xuanshui Dragon King there safely.”
Song Yunxuan was satisfied with Mei Qi’s promise.
After finis.h.i.+ng reading the materials, Song Yunxuan had lunch and prepared for the meeting with Xuanshui Dragon King.
Just at that moment, Gu Yi and Miaomiao suddenly crossed her mind, which made her ponder for a moment. Then she picked up her phone and called Shao Xue.
It didn’t take long before Shao Xue answered the phone. As Shao Xue saw that the call was from Song Yunxuan, she instantly knew what Song Yunxuan wanted to know from her.
So she asked Song Yunxuan, “You want to know how Yi and Miaomiao are doing now?”
“Yeah.” For some unaccountable reason, Song Yunxuan had been missing the two kids very much recently. Not only did she want to know how they were doing, but she also wanted to know what they did every day.
It was just that she felt it was improper for her to tell all her feelings to Shao Xue. Thus she said, “Things have not been going well in the Shao Family, and the Shao enterprise is at risk recently. Thus I want to know something more about Yi and Miaomiao.”
Actually, she was worried that Gu Changle might move in on Gu Yi and Miaomiao.
She didn’t want anything to happen to Gu Yi and Miaomiao because she loved them very much.
Shao Xue replied smilingly, “No need to worry. I’ve told the family servants to keep me informed. Even though I’m in the hospital now, I can easily know how Yi and Miaomiao are doing. Though the Shao enterprise is at risk, Shao Tianze seems to guard against Gu Changle now. Not only did he forbid Gu Changle to leave the hospital, but he also didn’t let her return home for even one time.”
Hearing Shao Xue’s words, Song Yunxuan was slightly stupefied, asking, “Are you saying he didn’t let Gu Changle return home?”
“Yes. But Shao Tianze returns home to see the kids every day.”
Song Yunxuan lowered her eyes.
Though Shao Tianze now still appeared to be a loving father, who knew whether he would kill his children or not as he had killed his wife?
Song Yunxuan listened to Shao Xue attentively for a while. Then she asked, “When can you leave the hospital?”
“In seven or eight days, the doctor said.”
“OK, I see. You will soon achieve your goal.” Hearing Song Yunxuan’s words, Shao Xue felt as if a lifetime had pa.s.sed.
Actually, Song Yunxuan and Shao Xue were in the same boat. As long as Song Yunxuan could defeat Shao Tianze, she could soon expose all Shao Tianze’s crimes and ask the police to verify them. In this way, she could bring justice to her parents.
But if Song Yunxuan failed, her dream would shatter.
Besides, she knew that the quickest way to revenge for her parents was to get Song Yunxuan to help her from the time she told Song Yunxuan everything.
Hardly was anyone willing to help her except Song Yunxuan.
So she could only believe Song Yunxuan from the bottom of her heart, pin her hope on Song Yunxuan, and hope that Song Yunxuan could defeat Shao Tianze in the fight.
“You can rest a.s.sured. I’ll leave hospital as soon as possible to take care of Yi and Miaomiao.”
“Apart from that, you should also take care of yourself.”
Shao Xue nodded, replying, “I know, thanks for your concern. It’s just that I know no one will help me except you. I really want you to defeat Shao Tianze for me and let him pay the price for what he did.”
Song Yunxuan lowered her eyes and concealed the darkness in her eyes, replying, “Don’t worry. Your dream will come true. Very soon.”
The victory was at hand.
There was only one more thing to do.
Shao Xue took a deep breath, saying, “My parents also hoped Shao Tianze would answer for his crimes.”
“Yes.”
Tears misted Shao Xue’s eyes when she thought of her parents.
But she quickly wiped her tears when realizing that she was on the phone with Song Yunxuan. Then Shao Xue said, “Well, I actually said so much about me.”
“I’ve kept it in mind. You gotta take good care of yourself.”
“I will.” Shao Xue nodded, replying.
“I have some other things to do, so I can’t speak to you for too long. I need to hang up now.”
“OK, go ahead. I can be on my own.”
Shao Xue was being good to Song Yunxuan. And it seemed that Shao Xue had been very nice during the time she was in hospital.
Song Yunxuan felt relieved after the call.
Shortly after lunch, Song Yunxuan drove to the Rose Garden.
It was a secret meeting with Xuanshui Dragon King, so Song Yunxuan went to the Rose Garden alone.
After arriving there, Song Yunxuan headed to the Flower Hall to prepare snacks and flower tea for afternoon tea. Then she waited for him to come.
At around three o’clock, Mei Qi and Xuanshui Dragon King finally showed up at the Rose Garden.
Seeing Xuanshui Dragon King, Song Yunxuan greeted, “I’ve been expecting you. Thanks a lot for coming over.”
Seeing Song Yunxuan, Xuanshui Dragon King seemed to know everything, replying, “I knew we would meet sooner or later.”
Hearing Xuanshui Dragon King’s words, Song Yunxuan tilted her head, wondering, “You knew that I would invite you over?”
Xuanshui Dragon King nodded, replying, “I knew that I would meet you sooner or later from the time your a.s.sistant asked me for the amulet around your neck.”
Xuanshui Dragon King’s voice sounded a bit old.
Noticing that he could not stand for long, Song Yunxuan pulled the gla.s.s door of the Flower Hall open and said to Xuanshui Dragon King, “It’s inappropriate to talk here. How about going inside and going into details?”
Xuanshui Dragon King took a look at the inside of the Flower Hall and nodded, replying, “Good.”
Xuanshui Dragon King entered the Flower Hall with Song Yunxuan.
But as soon as Song Yunxuan entered the Flower Hall, she whispered to Mei Qi, “Have you checked if anyone followed you?”
Mei Qi nodded, replying, “I have. No one followed me.”
Hearing that, Song Yunxuan was relieved. Then she sat opposite to Xuanshui Dragon King, poured tea for him, and came to the point, “I asked you to come all the way here, so have you guessed why I invited you here?”
“Have you been feeling that your memory is decaying?”
Xuanshui Dragon King looked at Song Yunxuan, saying slowly.
Hearing that, Song Yunxuan was slightly stupefied and replied, “Yes. Many memories have dimmed. I don’t know why.”
Xuanshui Dragon King stroked his beard, saying, “You remembered those things very well in the past, but now you can’t remember them anyway when thinking back, right?”
Song Yunxuan didn’t know what to say.
Xuanshui Dragon King sighed, continuing, “It’s inevitable.”
Song Yunxuan frowned, wanting to know why.
However, Xuanshui Dragon King explained to Song Yunxuan one step ahead, “The closer you get to your goal, the weaker your vitality is.”
Song Yunxuan lowered her eyes, and then she suddenly noticed Mei Qi’s figure on the polished floor.
Only then did she realize that she forgot to dismiss Mei Qi before she talked about the secrets with Xuanshui Dragon King.
She slowly looked up at Mei Qi.
Mei Qi met her gaze.
“Wait for me outside. I have something private to talk to the master.”
Song Yunxuan said to Mei Qi.
Mei Qi slightly lowered his eyes.
Song Yunxuan felt that Mei Qi might refuse. However, Mei Qi nodded, replying, “Call me if you need anything. I’ll be right outside.”
Song Yunxuan nodded. Then Mei Qi turned around and left.
Seeing that Mei Qi had left, Xuanshui Dragon King said gently, “Actually, even though you dismissed him, he has known everything.”
Song Yunxuan looked at Xuanshui Dragon King, saying, “Who will believe such freakish stuff?”
“You are right, Miss Song. Hardly would anyone believe such oddities. But if the man hadn’t believed it, he wouldn’t have found me and asked for the amulet around your neck at all costs.”
“I’m grateful to him.”
“So since the man could do this for you, why did you pointedly dismiss him?”
Song Yunxuan smiled and replied clearly, “It was because he was willing to do it for me at any cost that I dismissed him. I don’t want him to know anything about it, or he will be worried about me.”
Xuanshui Dragon King was slightly stunned on hearing Song Yunxuan’s words.
After a long while, Xuanshui Dragon King sighed, saying, “I didn’t expect that you would dismiss Mr. Mei because of this.”
“Since I’ve dismissed everyone who shouldn’t be here, is it OK for you to tell me everything now?”
Song Yunxuan looked at Xuanshui Dragon King.
Xuanshui Dragon King also looked at Song Yunxuan.
“Yes, you are right. It’s time.”
