Chapter 809 Disclose the Relationship
Xue Tao also thought Song Yunying would sneer at him.
Unexpectedly, Song Yunying was surprisingly obedient and agreed to his request.
Song Yunying’s obedience confirmed Xue Tao’s belief that Song Yunxuan was going to die of illness.
Thus, on the way home, Xue Tao asked Song Yunying aggressively, “Now you know who’ll be in charge of the Xue Family, don’t you?”
Song Yunying frowned, yet her voice was weak. “It’s you.” She answered.
“It’s good to hear that. Now Song Yunxuan’s going to kick the bucket, and you should persuade Song Yunxuan to leave you the inheritance after she dies if you want to stay in the Xue Family.”
“That’s impossible.” Song Yunying said.
Xue Tao looked at her unpleasantly, asking, “Why? Song Yunxuan is dying, and she got no boyfriend, or husband, or descendant. It’s natural to leave her property to you, her only relative in the world, isn’t it?”
Xue Tao got a lot of wishful thinking.
Meanwhile, Song Yunying snickered in her heart that Xue Tao was such a naive fool.
How could any of his filthy little tricks work as long as Song Yunxuan was still alive?
But currently, she got to listen to Song Yunxuan’s advice to tolerate Xue Tao temporarily for the greater good.
Song Yunying went to bed with the baby after they arrived home.
They got back late, so the nurse had already put the baby to bed.
Xue Tao was meant to take a look at his son but soon gave it up at the thought that he must inform Shao Tianze of Song Yunxuan’s health condition first.
Without saying a word to Song Yunying, he went straight to his room and called Shao Tianze.
Shao Tianze picked up the phone, asking, “What does Song Yunxuan look like?”
Xue Tao sneered in a triumphant voice, “Well, I think she’s going to kick the bucket.”
Hearing that, Shao Tianze frowned, asking, “You mean she’s truly sick?”
“Yep, she’s a mere skeleton but still wears the same look as before. I really admire her for dragging herself out and having dinner with us considering her poor physical condition.”
Xue Tao had no particular intention in saying that.
But Shao Tianze found something strange. He asked, “You just said that Song Yunxuan had dinner with you?”
“Yeah, but only for several minutes because she felt unwell.”
Shao Tianze lowered his eyes.
Next to Shao Tianze, Gu Changle saw he was looking at the ground and seeming to be pondering something. “What happened?” Gu Changle asked with concern.
“I’ll tell you later.”
Shao Tianze whispered to Gu Changle.
Gu Changle understood immediately that Shao Tianze was hushing her.
Xue Tao continued mindlessly, “Song Yunxuan won’t live long. Song Yunying, the b*tch, knew it too, so she doesn’t dare to retort when I scold her recently.”
Hearing that, the doubt emerging in Shao Tianze’s mind disappeared.
“But she’s Song Yunxuan’s sister. You had better be nice to her before Song Yunxuan dies.”
Shao Tianze was not speaking well of Song Yunying.
He was just warning Xue Tao to restrain himself and not to get carried away.
A starved camel was bigger than a horse. It seemed that Song Yunxuan was going to die.
But she could send her men to help Song Yunying. And if Song Yunxuan knew that she wouldn’t live long,
She could finish Xue Tao before her death.
Shao Tianze reminded Xue Tao, “Song Yunxuan might become reckless if she’s truly dying. You had better be careful. She could kill you.”
The Xue Family used to be a thorn in Song Yunxuan’s eyes.
But now, even the property of the Lu Family belonged to Song Yunxuan.
Xue Tao and his families were nothing to Song Yunxuan.
She got the ability to eliminate the Xue Family anytime if she wanted.
Shao Tianze reminded Xue Tao to be careful, and Xue Tao agreed with him after pondering. “You’re right. Song Yunxuan is a viper. She could do anything to win.”
“It’s fine as long as you know it.”
“I’ll bear that in mind. It’s just that…” Xue Tao still had his doubts.
Shao Tianze noticed that Xue Tao was trying to say something hesitatingly. He asked, frowning, “What do you wanna say?”
Xue Tao no longer hid it and decided to say it out since Shao Tianze asked.
“Who’ll take over the huge property of the Song Family since Song Yunxuan will have no husband or child to inherit it after she dies? Yunying’s the elder sister of Yunxuan, so I am thinking…”
Xue Tao did not finish his last sentence.
But Shao Tianze knew what he meant.
Shao Tianze smiled, saying, “You can rest assured. Song Yunying will inherit all that belongs to the Song Family as Song Yunxuan’s elder sister and your wife.”
Hearing Shao Tianze’s words, Xue Tao was reassured immediately.
“Good,” he said trustingly.
“But I will take over and promote some of their industries.”
Shao Tianze said.
Xue Tao was aware that he couldn’t win Shao Tianze. So hearing Shao Tianze’s words, he broke in immediately, “Take any part you want, President Shao. Song Yunying and I are not cut out for running a business. It’s better for you to take over those promising industries than us. We’ll only ruin them.”
Xue Tao flattered.
Shao Tianze enjoyed Xue Tao’s flattering words, somehow.
So he had a short chat with Xue Tao before he hung up.
Gu Changle was there listening to their conversation all the time.
After Shao Tianze hung up the phone, Gu Changle asked, “You’re going to let Xue Tao take over the Song Family?”
“I was just stalling him. That’s the only way to win him over. If I tell him that we’ll take everything from the Song Family and that he’ll get nothing, how could he provide any intel for us?”
Hearing that, Gu Changle curled her lips.
Alright, Gu Changle did not think about that.
“Men die in pursuit of wealth, and birds die in pursuit of food. Xue Tao may be a fool, but he does have brains. He’ll never get himself in vain.”
“But Song Yunxuan isn’t dead yet, and you guys are already planning to take over her possession. Don’t you think it’s too soon?” Gu Changle asked Shao Tianze.
“Not at all,” Shao Tianze said, “Xue Tao told me that Song Yunxuan became quite skinny and that she couldn’t even finish the dinner with them and went back to bed only several minutes later.”
Knowing that Song Yunxuan was getting worse, Gu Changle was delighted. But she asked suspiciously, “What if Song Yunxuan was fooling us by faking her illness?”
“I used to doubt that too.” Shao Tianze said. He had doubted that Song Yunxuan was pretending to be sick.
When everyone had believed that Song Yunxuan had been sick and dying, Ding Tong and Lu Feng had both fallen into her traps.
It was because a sick woman who was so far gone should not be able to contrive all these.
But his doubt soon disappeared after Xue Tao told him about Song Yunying’s behavior.
“From Song Yunying’s behavior, I could tell whether Song Yunxuan is good or not.”
Gu Changle did not understand him, so she blinked, asking, “How?”
Shao Tianze explained, “Song Yunxuan is the only backup for Song Yunying to help her stay in the Xue Family. Song Yunying won’t give Xue Tao a good face if Song Yunxuan is well. She knows no matter how badly she treats Xue Tao; he won’t even lay a finger on her. But if she’s going to lose Song Yunxuan, she’ll be more obedient and won’t turn against Xue Tao any longer.”
What Shao Tianze said did make sense.
Gu Changle nodded, and then she drew near to Shao Tianze, threw her arms around his neck, sat sideways on his legs, and gave him a peck on the lips.
“You wanna say something?”
Shao Tianze was no fool. By the way, he knew Gu Changle well.
When she tried to please him like this, she was almost certain to make a request.
Gu Changle felt quite dull as Shao Tianze saw her through that fast. She curled her lips, saying innocently, “Now your things have been solved, and Song Yunxuan’s situation was cleared up. Don’t you think we should pay attention to our own business?”
To make their relationship public brooked no further delay since Shao Tianze had promised her.
A long delay might cause trouble, after all.
Shao Tianze promised to disclose their relationship, so she wanted to make it happen as soon as possible. The sooner, the better.
“Well, about the publicity of our relationship…”
“You haven’t gone back on your promise, have you?”
Gu Changle frowned, asking Shao Tianze in displeasure.
He had shilly-shallied with her more than once. He had always promised her to disclose their relationship but broke it every time they could have made it public.
She would not allow Shao Tianze to delay the business and play with her again.
“Of course, I haven’t. It’s just that…” Shao Tianze softly clung to her waist, staring at her eyes.
Gu Changle frowned, asking, “What?”
“You should have a beautiful formal dress at the press conference to disclose our relationship. What do you think?”
“So what?” Gu Changle did not know what was in Shao Tianze’s head.
“I want you to be the happiest and the most beautiful woman in the world the day we open our relationship to the press.” Shao Tianze said, smiling.
“So?” Gu Changle raised an eyebrow.
Shao Tianze smiled, saying, “So I’m gonna take you to Parise and participate in the newest fashion show of old Browne.”
Old Browne was a veteran designer working on the Parise collections for winter. The best winter fashion collections in the last few years were his works.
Gu Changle loved fashion shows and catwalk shows.
So when she heard that Shao Tianze was going to take her to Parise, she smiled, asking, “Parise? Are you sure you have no other purposes?”
“I’ve been too busy these days, so I’m sorry if I’ve neglected you. Now that Song Yunxuan is dying and our fight will soon be over, I have plenty of time. I want to have a good time with you.”
“Really?”
Shao Tianze gazed lovingly at Gu Changle, saying, “Really. I promise.”
Hearing his words, Gu Changle beamed with pleasure.
