Chapter 176: Chapter 176: In What Capacity Are You Asking ?_1 Chapter 176: Chapter 176: In What Capacity Are You Asking ?_1 Shangguan Wan was also brought up in a pampered environnt; she was the daughter of Shangguan Heng’s third wife and a twin, a dragon and phoenix set.
At twenty-two this year, she looked just like her mother, naturally very beautiful.
She hadn’t noticed anything was out of the ordinary and was still clinging to Shangguan Yunqi’s arm, acting spoiled, “Auntie, how’s that matter going?
Has Song Yunuan agreeably agreed to go to Xiangjiang?
Xiangjiang is such a nice place, and no girl from here doesn’t long for it.
Hmph, she really snatched up a great bargain…”
Shangguan Yunqi, who was on the verge of a breakdown, couldn’t contain her emotions any longer.
Seeing Shangguan Wan reminded her of Shangguan Heng, then of Xia Xindong, and finally, of Song Yunuan.
This damn girl was the cause of it all.
She pushed Shangguan Wan away with one shove, yelling, “Get out, get back to Xiangjiang.
If it weren’t for you, how could all these troubles have been caused?”
—————–
anwhile, Song Yunuan had returned from the test flight base with her younger brother and Gu Huai’an.
Gu Huai’an had other matters to attend to and said to Song Yunuan, “The theories we discussed need to be constantly put into practice.
If it’s convenient, you could record the experintal data for our future research.”
Then, with a smile in his eyes, “You’re so smart it’s beyond my expectations.
I’ll send you so books and materials when I get back.”
Song Yunuan imdiately refused, her attitude firm, “Gu Huai’an, if you dare send any materials, we’ll never deal with each other again!”
Gu Huai’an, facing her dewy, large eyes, was montarily at a loss for words.
If it were the old him, he might have brought her a truckload of study materials and exams.
But the him now was no longer the him of the past, and in front of Song Yunuan, he realized the young lady was serious.
She truly dared to cut ties with him forever!
That wouldn’t do; he still had to help her build a house using energy.
Gu Huai’an’s car arrived, and the accompanying staff did as well, including Secretary Xiao Wu, who saw Song Yunuan and greeted her with a beam.
Song Yunuan greeted him back happily.
Afterward, Gu Huai’an asked Song Yunuan, “Are you sure you don’t need my help?”
Song Yunuan, “Actually, just standing by my side is helping .”
Gu Huai’an was about to get into the car when Song Mingsheng, clutching a plane model and with starry eyes, said in a sweet voice, “Big brother, I will study from you, take you as my role model, study hard every day and strive to grow up and build a big airplane to take my sister and big brother to explore space!”
Gu Huai’an burst into laughter imdiately, rubbed Little Asheng’s head, and gave Song Yunuan a aningful look, “Hmm, that’s what a good child is like.”
Song Yunuan pinched her brother’s cheek.
Gu Huai’an exchanged a few words with Chu Zizhou, then got into the car and left Erdao River Village.
Song Yunuan ran back ho to find Old Mrs.
Song and Xia Guilan, who were originally busy preparing delicious food for her in the kitchen, had now co out to see her off.
After all, Gu Huai’an wasn’t just anyone; in fact, he was a true paragon that many people couldn’t even aspire to.
Not to ntion anything else, simply being friends with Little Nuan would be a great advantage.
But things should not be discussed in such terms.
How smart a person was Song Yunuan?
She had long guessed what Grandma and Mom wanted to talk to her about.
The conversation would be easy to start but probably not pleasant to hear.
To avoid ruining her mood, Song Yunuan cheerfully said, “Grandma, Mom, don’t worry.
Also, don’t treat Gu Huai’an just as an ordinary person.
He is really excellent, so much so that you probably can’t even imagine the extent of his excellence.
Grandma, just a few days ago you told that birds of a feather flock together and a person who accompanies a wise man becos wise themselves.
I’ve been keeping that in mind.”
Old Mrs.
Song pursed her lips.
This little girl is using my own words to shut up.
Afterward, Song Yunuan pushed Asheng forward.
Little Asheng, holding the plane model, caught the yardful of onlookers’ attention as they curiously gathered around.
This was their first ti seeing a plane model.
They touched it gingerly, afraid of causing any damage.
Song Mingsheng said, “Big brother took the two of us to visit the test flight base, and it’s the first ti in my life I’ve seen a real big airplane.
It’s so big, so very big!”
It’s the kind that can fly up into the sky.
“Do you know?
Big brother can fly planes, he’s really amazing.
When I grow up, I also want to build airplanes.”
Then with a sweep of her hand, adorable and endearing, “I want to take our family on a plane and fly in the sky.”
The topic was quickly derailed.
And just at that mont, an impatient voice ca through the loudspeaker, “Comrade Song Yunuan from Erdao River Village, please co to the brigade headquarters to take a phone call.”
Song Yunuan hurriedly said, “I’m going to take the call.”
Then she rushed back to the brigade headquarters.
Lian Xiang also ca out to tell them, “Don’t be so tense.
Gu Huai’an is no ordinary person, and I see that neither of the children are really focused.
If the adults keep asking, it makes us seem devious.”
The others stopped talking.
Let nature take its course, I suppose.
As Song Yunuan expected, Xia Bowen called her.
When Xia Bowen knew it was Song Yunuan, he introduced himself in a gentle voice.
Song Yunuan cut straight to the chase, “Then, how should I address you?”
Before Xia Bowen could speak, she said, “Considering our awkward relationship and the unavoidable grudges of the past, I think it’s better for to call you Old Master.”
Xia Bowen: …
What a clever girl.
He asked Song Yunuan, “Do you know why I am calling you?”
Song Yunuan retorted, “How would I know if you don’t tell ?”
Xia Bowen frowned.
Shangguan Yunqi was right about one thing—Song Yunuan was indeed a tough nut to crack.
After just a few exchanges, he felt that she was completely watertight.
So he got straight to the point, “Xia Xindong is in the process of developing a new drug called A-009.
It is said that once the research is successful, an injection can extend a person’s life by ten years.”
Xia Bowen said this with a bleeding heart.
In his eyes, Shangguan Yunqi had always been intelligent and exceptional.
But now he found her both stupid and poisonous.
Setting aside the abandonnt of her own flesh and blood, when it ca to cruelty—it made no sense.
Why not keep such a talented person within his grasp?
Why did she let him go to her elder brother?
“So, what cos next?” When there was a pause on the other end, Song Yunuan asked leisurely.
“…Shangguan Heng won’t release the person.
He hasn’t been answering calls.
I know you gave Shangguan Yunqi a deadline: if she can’t return the person safely within five days, you will take the next step, right?”
Song Yunuan’s tone was gentle, even unhurried, and carried a hint of surprise, “Old Master, are you asking ?
Then, in what capacity are you inquiring?”
Xia Bowen hesitated for a mont, “Does it…
make a difference?”
“Of course, it makes a difference,” said Song Yunuan.
“If you are asking as Xia Xindong’s biological father, then we are on the sa side.
“Together, we must do everything in our power to safely bring back your own flesh and blood, a talent that cos once in a hundred years, and take him ho!”
As she spoke, Song Yunuan’s voice was filled with passion and lofty sentints.
Her emotional control was excellent.
But then her tone changed drastically, each word striking fear into the heart: “If, Old Master, you are asking as Shangguan Yunqi’s husband, then you only have five days.
Please rember, you must return my uncle safely within the specified ti!”
The girl’s voice was sweet, but her words were chillingly ruthless, “And Old Master Xia, don’t ever try to test my patience.
I may be young and act unpredictably.
For the culprit responsible for locking up my uncle for thirty years, I will ensure she has no offspring and does not die a peaceful death!”
Xia Bowen had a lump in his throat so uncomfortable that he nearly couldn’t breathe!
