Wu Meng heard Song Qiao’s arrangements, and her heart was filled with disdain once again.
Song Qiao’s arrogance was one thing, but his lack of foresight was another. He valued his own work more than the important task of entertaining the provincial leader.
It was utter foolishness.
However, this was for the best. If she were to handle the reception of the provincial leader, it would not only ensure everything went smoothly but also provide a rare opportunity for her own growth.
“Alright then, it’s also a way to help Yuqing.”
She glanced at Xia Yuqing, and seeing that the other woman did not object, she readily agreed.
Xia Yuqing looked at Song Qiao with disappointment once more.
Her husband was truly ungrateful. She had given him such a good opportunity, and he was so oblivious to its value.
It seemed that the matter of divorce needed to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
“If that’s the case, then I have nothing more to do here. I’ll be going to get busy.”
After speaking, Song Qiao left Xia Yuqing’s office without looking back.
It wasn’t that he didn’t have time, but he simply didn’t want to clash with Xia Yuqing over this matter.
During that car accident, he had publicly hit Zheng Shan’s son. Who knew what other trouble might arise then.
The rift between him and his wife was growing deeper. It was better to have one less issue now.
…
Leaving Tianhong, Song Qiao drove to the villa at the Mountain Water Resort.
The environment here was quiet. He intended to stay here for a while, allowing both his wife and himself some time to cool down.
Unexpectedly, before he could even enter, Mo Ling appeared from somewhere.
“Oh, you still haven’t returned the large villa you rented for the last gathering? The daily rent isn’t cheap. Don’t go bankrupt before our two families even declare war.”
The moment she saw Song Qiao, she immediately launched into sarcastic taunts.
“Why are you everywhere, you lingering old hag? This house is mine. What business is it of yours whether it’s expensive or not.”
Song Qiao curled his lips and retorted dismissively.
Now that there was no one to stop him, like his wife and others, he had no need to hold back when it came to Mo Ling.
“You, who are you calling an old hag? You said you bought this house?”
Mo Ling was initially enraged by Song Qiao, but upon hearing the latter half of his statement, she almost burst into laughter.
She would never believe that Song Qiao had the means to afford such a villa.
“Believe it or not, it has nothing to do with you. You can move aside now.”
Seeing Mo Ling’s spiteful demeanor, Song Qiao had no interest in arguing with her.
After saying this, he intended to walk past Mo Ling and enter his villa.
“Stop right there!”
Although Song Qiao didn’t want to entangle himself, Mo Ling was not one to let things go easily.
She stomped her foot fiercely and darted forward to block Song Qiao.
“Let me tell you, we’ve already started dealing with Ye Zhiwei. That bitch won’t be arrogant for much longer. I advise you to surrender obediently now, or your fate will be even more miserable than hers.”
“Oh? Ms. Mo seems very confident. Feel free to use whatever means you have. Let me, Song Qiao, witness the capabilities of your three families joining forces.”
Song Qiao let out a scornful laugh, completely unfazed by Mo Ling’s threat.
“Stubborn to the end. Just you wait.”
Seeing that her threat was ineffective, Mo Ling felt a sense of frustration. She glared at Song Qiao indignantly and was about to leave.
Just then, Xia Xueqing suddenly ran over from somewhere.
Her eyes were red, and there was a clear handprint on her cheek.
“Brother-in-law, I finally found you.”
Upon seeing Song Qiao, she seemed to have found a savior. She rushed into his arms and, unable to hold back her tears any longer, began to sob uncontrollably.
Song Qiao’s expression immediately turned grim, and he shot a cold glance at Mo Ling.
It must have been Mo Ling’s bodyguards who had taken action against Xia Xueqing when she came looking for him.
“Mo Ling, you’re practically asking for death.”
Song Qiao snorted coldly and gently patted Xia Xueqing, who was clinging to him.
“Xueqing, be good, tell brother-in-law who bullied you.”
Song Qiao asked softly.
“It was, it was Mo Ling’s bodyguards. They stopped me from coming in.”
Xia Xueqing was somewhat choked up, her words laced with deep grievance.
She had immediately rushed to find her brother-in-law after learning he was here, but she never expected someone to block the entrance to the villa complex and refuse to let her pass.
She had argued with them, only to be slapped in public!
“Boss, I didn’t expect this little girl to be so stubborn. We couldn’t stop her no matter what.”
At that moment, two burly men in suits hurried over, casting a guilty glance at Mo Ling.
“Hmph, two grown men couldn’t stop a little girl. I think you’re all useless freeloaders.”
“Let’s not worry about them for now. We’re leaving.”
Mo Ling snorted coldly and waved her hand, intending to leave with the two bodyguards.
Her main purpose for coming here was to persuade Song Qiao to surrender. Since he was being stubborn, there was no need for her to stay any longer.
“Stop, did I say you could leave?”
Song Qiao gently helped Xia Xueqing off him and looked with a chilling gaze at Mo Ling and the two bodyguards beside her.
“What? What do you want to do?”
Mo Ling, having witnessed Song Qiao’s physical prowess, immediately cowered behind the two bodyguards, a hint of fear in her eyes.
“I’m warning you, they are both experts. Don’t do anything rash.”
“I’m just asking one question: who hit my sister?”
Song Qiao didn’t answer. He suddenly stepped forward, closing the distance between them.
His gaze was icy, devoid of any emotion.
“Kid, you’re quite arrogant. Do you intend to take on both of us alone?”
“To tell you the truth, I was the one who did it. What are you going to do about it?”
One of the bodyguards adjusted his sunglasses, his words showing no regard for Song Qiao.
“Good, very good.”
“If you have the guts, then you must pay the price for what you’ve done.”
Song Qiao gritted his teeth in anger and lunged forward, ready to strike.
However, Xia Xueqing suddenly ran to his side and grabbed his waist.
“Brother-in-law, let’s just let this matter go for now. They have significant influence. If we cause trouble, it might be difficult to resolve later.”
Xia Xueqing said, pulling Song Qiao away from the scene.
“Hmph, I didn’t expect the little girl to be so sensible. It seems that slap taught you a lesson.”
Seeing Song Qiao and Xia Xueqing about to retreat, the bodyguard couldn’t help but taunt them arrogantly again.
“You’re asking for death!”
How could Song Qiao tolerate this? He gently shook off Xia Xueqing’s restraining hand, then delivered a flying kick, sending the bragging bodyguard flying.
