Chapter 236: Chapter 236: Mo Yinhe Becomes Inhuman Again! 1
Song Tengfei thought, This daughter must die! If you don’t cut the grass and remove the roots, it will grow again when the spring breeze blows! I was too greedy in the past, always thinking this convenient daughter could bring me limitless benefits, how she could help me latch onto Mo Yinhe and elevate the Song Family. That’s why I fell for her ploys, leading the entire family into this predicament!
During his few days in the detention center, Song Tengfei had figured it all out.
I absolutely cannot let this troublesome daughter live! Otherwise, the Song Family will face annihilation! This troublesome daughter will undoubtedly pursue us relentlessly, aiming to kill every single member of the Song Family! First, it was my sister Pianlan, then my mother, and then my grandfather. Soon, it will be my father’s and my turn! Once I’m imprisoned, my wife stands no chance against Si Mingjing. Our struggle for temporary control of the Song Group made it clear: with Mo Yinhe backing her, Si Mingjing is unbeatable—my wife wouldn’t stand a chance, not even if there were ten of her! So, between me and this troublesome daughter, it’s a fight to the death! I must find a way to kill Si Mingjing! The question now is, how can I kill Si Mingjing without implicating myself? This needs meticulous planning! I can’t get dragged into this myself! The simplest way is an unexpected traffic accident. All I need is a drunk driver!
Having made up his mind, Song Tengfei set about arranging it, finding a truck driver in the final stages of kidney failure. The truck driver didn’t have long to live. If he could receive a large sum of money before dying, ensuring his wife and children would not have to worry for the rest of their lives, the truck driver said he was willing to do it—even if it meant he would also lose his life in the accident.
Song Tengfei’s plan was solid, but Si Mingjing had not left her house for half a month straight. She spent her days in the Ye Family mansion, living like a secluded lady who never steps outside. Even when Song Tengfei called her to go to work at the Song Group, Si Mingjing wouldn’t leave, making excuses that she was still sick and needed to recover at home. This was because Zhou Wanyun had called to warn her that Song Tengfei was planning to deal with her. Si Mingjing had yet to figure out exactly what Song Tengfei was planning, so she chose to stay at home, making no moves.
Song Tengfei was fuming and growing impatient. Just as he was at a loss, Fang Jing gave him an idea.
Fang Jing said, "Before the New Year, Mingjing treated the wife of Lin Group’s President Lin Hanfeng. At that meeting, I heard the prescription she gave to Mrs. Lin, which would cure her in half a month. I’ve found out that Mrs. Lin seems to have been cured. If Lin Hanfeng throws a banquet and invites Mingjing, she surely won’t be able to refuse. We could use this opportunity!"
Overjoyed, Song Tengfei asked, "What illness did Mrs. Lin have?"
Fang Jing replied, "Hasn’t Mrs. Lin been fighting cancer? Last time, Mingjing treated Xie Changyuan’s cancer, and it took half a month to show results. Mingjing must have cured Mrs. Lin’s cancer. I heard that Lin Hanfeng was so happy, he’s been praising Mingjing’s medical skills to everyone."
Song Tengfei’s face lit up with joy. "That’s great! But how do we get Lin Hanfeng to throw a banquet to reward that wretched girl?"
Fang Jing added, "We can use Lin Xiansi. She married my brother Huo Hailou, so she’s my sister-in-law. Over the New Year, I heard Lin Xiansi express regret for offending Madam Lin because of Mingjing. I’ll give her an idea to make amends: suggest to Madam Lin that the Lin Family should hold a banquet for Mingjing. I believe Madam Lin would be delighted."
Song Tengfei was thrilled. "Excellent, excellent! Go and arrange it now. As soon as that girl steps out, I’ll make sure she doesn’t return!"
「Three days later.」
Si Mingjing received a banquet invitation from the Lin Family. Mrs. Lin’s cancer had been cured. Lin Hanfeng had taken Mrs. Lin for a check-up at the hospital, and the test results showed that all the cancer cells in her body were gone. Lin Hanfeng wept with joy. Madam Lin declared they would hold a banquet to celebrate her daughter-in-law’s recovery, and Lin Hanfeng, without a second thought, agreed. They immediately sent Si Mingjing an invitation. Si Mingjing was the greatest contributor; she could not possibly refuse.
Lin Hanfeng also sent invitations to the Ye Family, so on the night of the banquet, Si Mingjing traveled with the Ye Family in their car. A grand procession set out and arrived at the Lin Family’s estate, where Lin Hanfeng and his wife personally welcomed them.
Lin Hanfeng and Ye Junqing were old friends. Ye Xinguang and Mrs. Lin were close cousins. Lin Hanfeng’s daughter, Lin Xia, and Ye Shen had been classmates from elementary to high school. Ye Siyuan also had a very good relationship with Lin Xia. As the group stepped out of the cars and stood together catching up, it was quite a lively scene.
Of course, the person the Lin Family was most grateful for was Si Mingjing, who was standing beside Mo Yinhe. More precisely, as soon as Mo Yinhe got out of the car, he stood next to Si Mingjing, as though they were a pair.
Lin Hanfeng approached Si Mingjing and expressed his deep gratitude, "Miss Si, thank you for curing my wife. Your tremendous kindness is something I, Lin, will never forget."
Si Mingjing smiled serenely. "You’re welcome. Treating patients is a doctor’s duty; I have merely done what I ought to do."
"Great kindness requires no thanks. If there is ever anything you need from me in the future, Miss Si, please do not hesitate to ask. I, Lin, will certainly not refuse."
Lin Hanfeng made a very formal gesture of invitation and ushered Si Mingjing into the house. For Lin Hanfeng, Si Mingjing saving his wife made him even more grateful than if she had saved his own life. Today, Si Mingjing was the guest of honor.
Many people came to the Lin Family’s banquet to offer their congratulations. Looking around, the guests were as numerous as clouds. They clinked glasses and mingled freely, creating a very lively atmosphere. On the dance floor, numerous young guests were dancing. On a long table nearby, a variety of drinks and delicious foods were laid out.
Si Mingjing found it all very novel. However, her new high heels were rubbing her feet, and after staying a while in the banquet hall, her feet began to hurt.
Mo Yinhe asked in a low voice, "Are you uncomfortable?"
Si Mingjing replied, "No, not really. It’s just that these high heels are rubbing a bit. I’d like to find a place to sit for a while."
Mo Yinhe nodded and escorted her to a chair in the southeast corner of the dance floor. "Sit here for a bit. I’ll get you something to eat. Would you like wine or a cocktail?"
"A cocktail, a sweet one," Si Mingjing said.
Mo Yinhe then left. He was tall and imposing, with an extraordinary demeanor; wherever he went, he was the center of attention.
After he left, many girls in the banquet hall curiously sized up Si Mingjing, filled with a mix of envy and jealousy as they whispered amongst themselves.
"Is that Si Mingjing, the girl from Prison Star?"
"She’s so lucky. Did you notice? She came in with the Ye Family, and they all seem to like her, especially Mo Yinhe. She’s truly struck gold!"
"What’s there to be jealous of? Mo Yinhe is a devil! I can still vividly recall the scene when he pushed Lin Xiansi down the stairs. Any woman who sets her sights on that man is courting disaster!"
