108: Chapter 108 Let My Son Go

The Lin family was in utter chaos.

Lin Xueyao felt the malice and humiliation from the entire world after hearing Song Yuan’s words.

The younger brother she had doted on and protected had treated her like a prostitute.

It turned out that only she herself truly cared about her family; in their hearts, she was merely a cash cow, a naive fool to be exploited to uplift the family's male heir.

At this moment, she finally admitted her identity as a doormat.

Lin Xueyao couldn't bear the blow and suddenly fainted.

When Wang Chunmei saw her daughter faint, she immediately burst into loud sobs, creating a huge scene,

“Help! Murder! They’ve killed my daughter!”

Lin Hai stared at the several debt collectors with his triangular eyes,

“I’ll fight you all!”

The five debt collectors were all burly men with strong, muscular builds, and they didn’t even glance at Lin Hai, this small old man.

They also ignored the unconscious Lin Xueyao, focusing their target solely on Lin You. In a few swift moves, they restrained Lin You and pinned him to the ground, their nunchaku pointed directly at Lin You’s vital parts.

“If this money isn’t paid back, your son will be a eunuch for the rest of his life. I’ll count down from five. Five, four, three…”

“I’ll pay, I’ll pay, I’ll pay! Let my son go!”

Lin Hai’s voice trembled with fear.

The burly men weren't actually going to castrate him; they were just playing a psychological game, scaring him.

They watched as Lin Hai opened his mobile banking app to transfer the money, and soon Song Yuan’s message came through,

“The money has arrived!”

The burly men chuckled, put away their weapons, and released him.

The Lin family collapsed onto the ground.

Wang Chunmei let out a gasp,

“Ah, blood! My daughter is bleeding! Yaoyao, wake up, Yaoyao!”

One of the burly men, seeing where the blood was coming from, had a pretty good guess. He picked up his phone and called an ambulance for her.

“Your daughter probably had a miscarriage…”

He hung up the phone, muttering curses under his breath,

“Damn, came to collect a debt and ended up being a good Samaritan, completely ruining my persona.”

Song Yuan received a call from Gu Shiyu as he was about to leave work.

“Husband, we got news from M Country. The kidney is being air-freighted back overnight, and Mom can have surgery tomorrow morning. Shall we go to the hospital together tonight to see her?”

Song Yuan replied, “Okay.”

Gu Shiyu arrived at Song Yuan’s company right at closing time. To pursue someone, one must have the right attitude, and she was there again to pick up her man from work.

She was in a hurry this time and hadn’t brought afternoon tea for Song Yuan’s brothers. Instead of going in empty-handed, she sent Song Yuan a message from the parking lot,

“I’m here, look down!”

Through the glass, Song Yuan saw her leaning against the car door, wearing a black Hepburn dress, elegant and noble, with the pair of Valentine’s Day gifts he had given her on her ears.

Song Yuan didn’t want her to wait, so he put away his phone and prepared to go downstairs. Lu Chi called out to him,

“Song Yuan, a module requirement isn’t very clear. Should we have a meeting to sort out the logic?”

Song Yuan quickly slung his laptop bag over his shoulder,

“You all discuss it first, my wife is here to pick me up!”

Lu Chi swore,

“Damn, they’re showing off their affection again.”

Amidst the envious gazes of the crowd, Song Yuan entered the elevator.

Song Yuan had left early in the morning and hadn’t seen her in this outfit. After going downstairs, he carefully scrutinized her and pulled up the collar on her shoulder a bit.

“Your shoulder is a bit too exposed.”

Gu Shiyu laughed at him,

“Don’t you understand fashion? This style makes your neck look longer!”

“Your neck is already quite long; there’s no need to make it appear longer.”

Gu Shiyu pouted.

Gu Shiyu had brought a driver today, and the two of them sat together in the back seat. The car drove steadily out of the parking lot.

Song Yuan toyed with Gu Shiyu’s smooth fingers, and as he played, he recalled the sensual scene from last night.

It was this hand, wearing a wedding ring, that had been pushing.

Bringing out specks of glistening light.

Song Yuan’s throat bobbed, and he inexplicably felt a bit hot in the car.

He released her hand. Gu Shiyu turned to look at him, and with that glance, it didn't matter; they both thought of the same thing.

When they were having fun, they only cared about enjoying themselves; afterward, there was endless awkwardness, especially for Gu Shiyu.

She averted her gaze, cleared her throat, and handed him a bottle of water, her eyes fixed straight ahead.

With the driver present, it was inconvenient to say anything.

But having a driver also had its advantages.

The driver broke the silence in the car,

“General Manager Gu, the car is low on fuel. I’ll drop you off at the hospital to refuel, and it should take about ten minutes to drive back to the hospital. You’re not in a hurry to use the car during this time, are you?”

Gu Shiyu replied,

“No hurry. We should be staying at the hospital for a while. You’ll have enough time to grab a meal outside.”

“Okay, General Manager Gu.”

The car finally reached its destination, and the driver got out to open their doors.

After getting out of the car, the two walked side by side towards the inpatient building.

Song Yuan again held the hand he had released in the car, his thumb rubbing back and forth on her slender fingers.

Gu Shiyu gave him a side glance,

“Why did you let go in the car just now?”

Song Yuan chuckled,

“Because I thought of something that excited me, and I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to control myself and do something that would undermine your authority as General Manager in front of the driver.”

Gu Shiyu scoffed,

“If you were truly that considerate of me, you wouldn’t think of such tormenting ideas.”

Song Yuan asked her directly,

“Didn’t you experience pleasure yesterday?”

Gu Shiyu’s face flushed, and she was speechless,

“Song Yuan, why do you always think of such things? Your mind is too perverted!”

Song Yuan didn’t deny it,

“It is a bit unrestrained, but only with you.”

Gu Shiyu didn’t respond, and the topic was dropped there.

As the two were about to enter the inpatient building, someone ran ahead and suddenly blocked their path.

It was Lin Hai!

Lin Hai and his wife followed the ambulance to the hospital, and Lin Xueyao was immediately sent to the operating room.

Lin Xueyao had indeed miscarried; this was the official answer from the doctor.

Lin Hai had interrogated her for a long time in the ward but couldn’t get her to reveal who the father of the child was. He figured it was probably Song Yuan’s.

He smoked in the courtyard for a long time, pondering how to settle this score with Song Yuan. He decided that if Song Yuan had caused his daughter to miscarry, the matter wouldn't be resolved for anything less than 300,000 yuan.

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. Lin Hai actually saw Song Yuan at the hospital!

“Song Yuan, do you know that Yaoyao miscarried? Your child, miscarried! Song Yuan, you scumbag!”

Song Yuan pondered for a long time. Lin Xueyao pregnant?

His first reaction was that the child wasn’t his.

They had been separated for some time, and during that time, Lin Xueyao hadn’t been idle; she had seamlessly moved on to another man.

He understood Lin Xueyao’s personality; if the child were his, she would have probably come knocking on his door immediately, and it wouldn't have waited until after a miscarriage without her having contacted him at all.

“Lin Hai, have you stooped to using such a clumsy lie to extort money? It’s truly tragic to be your daughter, to be cursed with a miscarriage by you. Have you gone crazy from poverty?”
