Rebirth: She Became a Beautiful and Cool Bigshot - Chapter 418

Chapter 418: Chapter 418 Hypocritical Mother and Son

After returning to Imperial, Su Xiufeng first visited Song Ennian’s residence.

She was in luck; Song Ennian was at home.

Just as she had hoped, Song Ennian didn’t ignore her but came out to greet her himself, then started making pleasant small talk with a smile.

“Where have you been recently? Why have you lost so much weight?”

Su Xiufeng didn’t hide the truth and told Song Ennian about her vanished fortune.

Of course, she didn’t tell Song Ennian the exact amount of her lost assets.

Song Ennian, knowing better, did not ask.

However, he planned to find someone to ask the police about the place where Su Xiufeng reported the case.

“How could this happen? Why didn’t you tell us right away so we could help you look for it? Now, after so much time, it’s definitely impossible to find, and even if it’s found, that money is probably already squandered.”

Song Ennian’s tone was full of concern, but his words were like daggers to the heart.

Holding back her pain, Su Xiufeng said, “Let’s not talk about this matter. After thinking it over, I’ve decided to come back to Imperial to start a small business. Could you lend me some start-up capital?”

Song Ennian replied without hesitation, “How much do you need?”

Su Xiufeng wanted to borrow more, but knowing Song Ennian’s heartlessness, she didn’t dare ask for too much and softly said, “Thirty thousand.”

“Alright, you rest first, I’ll go withdraw it now. But Mom, my current house belongs to Dad; it wouldn’t be proper to keep you there. In addition to the thirty thousand, I’ll give you another ten thousand so you can rent a place to stay for the time being. Once I have the money to buy my own place, I’ll have you move in with me.”

Though she had expected this response, hearing it firsthand still made Su Xiufeng’s heart ache unbearably.

And she didn’t dare show it, forcing out a smile uglier than crying, “Okay, then I’ll wait for your filial piety.”

Song Ennian simply “hmm’ed” and swiftly left.

If he didn’t leave soon, he was afraid he’d vomit from his own hypocrisy.

However, he didn’t think he was heartless.

Su Xiufeng was only in her forties, hardly at an age to be taken care of like an elder. Giving her forty thousand at once was generous enough.

If Su Xiufeng had anyone to blame, it was herself for the repulsive things she’d done in the past.

Song Ennian quickly returned with forty thousand in cash and let Su Xiufeng stay the night.

His words were still a sting, “Although I can’t have you stay permanently, one night is fine. Why don’t you stay here tonight and look for a house first thing in the morning?”

It was exactly what Su Xiufeng didn’t want to be reminded of.

She wanted to slap him dead and didn’t wish to stay a minute longer.

She had always been proud, and this was no exception.

She would not let go of any dignity she could salvage.

After Su Xiufeng left, Song Ennian immediately called Song Ting to share the “bad news.”

Song Ting paused before saying, “I didn’t expect this to happen. Alright, I’ve got it. If she doesn’t come to me, I won’t target her; don’t worry.”

Song Ennian quickly said, “I know you wouldn’t, but I’m afraid she will cling to you again.”

“She won’t, unless she has no other choice, she won’t come to me. But you and Enzhi need to be careful. I’m more worried that she’ll cling to you, or that someone might use her against you. Anyway, you both have to be cautious.”

Song Ennian, “…”

So it was like this?

Were there others lurking behind the scenes? He had been too complacent, thinking Shen Ci was his only rival.

He was so scared that he immediately called Song Enzhi.

After a long silence, Song Enzhi said, “I know, I’ll be careful.”

At the time, Song Enzhi was at work in the Medicinal Food Hall, and Shen Ci was right there next to her. She thought for a moment, then went over and told Shen Ci about Su Xiufeng’s return.

Although Su Xiufeng was her biological mother, ever since her attempt to burn Song Enzhi alive, Song Enzhi no longer recognized her as such.

After listening, Shen Ci patted her shoulder reassuringly, “It’s okay, just make sure not to see her alone, or call me and Chuyue before you meet her.”
