“Really?” Song Xuanhe raised a brow, but he didn’t turn to look at Song Xuanlin. He smiled at the passing people before replying to the other in a hushed voice, “What should I do if Song Guochao comes to make trouble for me?”
Song Xuanlin responded with a simple and concise sentence, “He won’t if Wei Chen is around.” k4Q2zP
“Okay.” Song Xuanhe smiled as he shook hands with and greeted a middle-aged couple. “Mr. Yang, Mrs. Yang, thank you so much for coming to celebrate Grandfather’s birthday with us.”
Song Xuanlin then came forward to accept their gift and chatted with the Yang couple before having someone else lead them into the hotel. Just as the couple had moved on, Wei Chen appeared.
Song Xuanlin nodded. “Wei shao
Song Xuanhe’s complicated emotions disappeared into the air with Wei Chen’s interruption. He glanced at Wei Chen before turning to look at Zhou Nan again. “Do you know why he went street racing?”
“Hasn’t he always had this kind of hobby?” Zhou Nan hadn’t been close to Lu Chao. He had only paid attention when someone had mentioned it, because he knew that Lu Chao and Song Xuanhe used to be close. Therefore, when he talked about it now, he was able to remain completely unaffected as a spectator. “It seems like he had gone to a highway in the mountains on the outskirts of town. Didn’t it rain really hard half a month ago? The rainfall had caused a landslide on the mountain, which had ended up blocking the road. It had only been recently cleared. Because not many people take that road, the railings haven’t been installed yet. They just closed it off with some yellow tape. Who would have expected that they would go over there to race?” DeuT2c
Wei Chen paid attention to Song Xuanhe’s expression before continuing off where Zhou Nan had stopped. “I also went to look at that highway a few days ago. Although there aren’t any railings, it still shouldn’t be a problem if you’re driving normally. They would only have fallen off the cliff if they had been doing some tricks on purpose while racing.”
Song Xuanhe turned to look at Wei Chen. When he noticed that the other’s expression didn’t change, he looked away. However, his slightly pursed lips did relax.
He knew that Wei Chen had said this because he knew about what had happened between him and Lu Chao in the past. The other didn’t want him to feel responsible.
But, Wei Chen was obviously overthinking things. Song Xuanhe was no saint. The original host had died an even more tragic death than Lu Chao had in the book. Furthermore, it was Lu Chao’s own fault. Even if Lu Chao had decided to go racing, because he had felt unhappy about Song Xuanhe bringing Lu Yue back into the Lu Family, at least it had been a decent death. Song Xuanhe already knew about Lu Chao’s secret machinations. Even if Lu Chao hadn’t died, Song Xuanhe would not have allowed him to live a good life. IFB4L
What he had been thinking about just now was that, with Lu Chao’s death, the future would only be even harder to predict. He had to make preparations and changes now. However, there was one thing Song Xuanhe could confirm. Zhou Rong would certainly blame Lu Chao’s death on him. Furthermore, his method of revenge would be even more difficult-to-predict and intense than it had been in the book.
Therefore, the consequences of Lu Chao’s death have become an even thornier problem.\n
