Chapter 564: The Feud Between the Two Families
“It’s Ai Li, Ah Mian, it’s Ai Li!” Yun Xiangxiang grabbed Song Mian’s arm. “Ai Li is either in Lucifer’s hands or Lucifer knows that something happened to Ai Li. That’s why he suddenly asked me where my bodyguard went!”
Regardless of the situation, with Lucifer’s ambiguous smile and Ai Li’s sudden disappearance, something must have happened to the latter.
“Ah Mian, I can’t leave like this. I have to know what happened to Ai Li. I owe her my life.” Yun Xiangxiang was a little anxious.
During the filming of Jiu Se, someone tried to plot against Du Changrong, but she was caught in the crossfire. It was Ai Li who threw herself at her and saved her life. Otherwise, if the peels pierced into her body, she would be half-crippled even if she didn’t want to live.
If it were not for this, Ai Li would be safe and far from danger. Yun Xiangxiang was very concerned about her, and because of her relationship with Lucifer, she felt that she had to do something. She had to save Ai Li no matter what.
A power that had a relationship with Lucifer was definitely not something she could solve. She could only ask Song Mian for help.
“Don’t worry, I’m here.” Song Mian Held Yun Xiangxiang’s hand and winked at Song Yao.
Song Yao understood and immediately walked to the cabin with his phone. He changed the time of the plane’s departure and called his contact.
“I’m sorry, I’ve caused you trouble again.” Yun Xiangxiang felt a little guilty.
Song Mian raised her hand and kissed her ring. “We’re family, there’s no such thing as trouble. Besides, the cause of this incident might not be you or Ai Li, it might be me.”
“How could it be?” Yun Xiangxiang could not believe it.
“How could it not be?” Song Mian explained to Yun Xiangxiang, “Lucifer and I are sworn enemies. Everything around me is under control, but he has no way to do anything about it. If this incident is really related to him, or if he is the mastermind, then he must be targeting me.”
Yun Xiangxiang felt that Song Mian was trying to prevent her from feeling guilty and taking responsibility for herself. She did not say anything but held Song Mian’s hand tightly.
Things had already come to this point. No matter what Lucifer’s original intention was, whether it was to attack Ai Li or to capture Ai Li from another place like Yun Xiangxiang, he was not dealing with anyone else but Song Mian.
“I know that Ai Li saved your life. I’ll do my best to bring her back to you alive,” Song Mian Promised Yun Xiangxiang solemnly.
“Ah Mian…” Yun Xiangxiang tightened her grip on Song Mian’s hand. “If… I say if… I don’t want you to put yourself in danger. I would rather live with guilt than lose you.”
Lucifer was not the kind of person who would do small things. He was on par with Song Mian, and he was a foreigner. Since he had chosen to help, he would not let Song Mian save Ai Li so easily.
Yun Xiangxiang could not help but think of the previous bloody plot in Mumbai. It was so fierce.
In the end, she was just a selfish person. If it was such a conspiracy, Yun Xiangxiang would rather live in self-blame than suffer the loss of Song Mian. She would rather die.
“Silly girl, I have been fighting with him since we were in our teens. He has never taken advantage of me.” Song Mian leaned over and planted a kiss on her forehead.
“What exactly is the reason for this huge enmity between the two of you?” Yun Xiangxiang could not help but ask.
“This should be mentioned from my grandfather’s generation…”
Although the Song family controlled many medical institutions, the family members started learning Western medicine from Song Mian’s grandfather.
Song Mian’s grandfather was very proficient in western medicine, and he was also an expert in Chinese medicine. When he first went abroad, he learned the essence of Western medicine while promoting Chinese medicine. This caused a conflict with Lucifer’s grandfather.
At that time, Lucifer’s grandfather was also the heir of the family. Their family had many paths to develop, but they started by relying on medicine.
The two of them had a lot of friction to begin with, and they often competed with each other, but neither of them suppressed the other.
Later on, the head of another large European family contracted a strange disease. Both of them went to study it, and the person the other party trusted more was definitely Lucifer’s grandfather. Song Mian’s grandfather had always been in a state where he could not feel the condition of the patient.
However, he guessed the patient’s condition based on Lucifer’s grandfather’s medication and treatment methods. He found that Lucifer’s grandfather was too eager for instant success. His solution could only be temporarily suppressed, and when it failed, it would explode like a flood.
Song Mian’s grandfather warned Lucifer’s grandfather. In order to confirm his guess, he even took the risk of sneaking into Lucifer’s house to check the patient’s pulse. Although he confirmed his guess, his whereabouts were also exposed.
The two sides confronted each other. Lucifer’s grandfather swore that if his method did not work, the entire family would never touch anything related to medicine again, and the descendants of the family would never be able to study medicine again.
The other party trusted Lucifer’s grandfather. At that time, China was in decline, and those people did not take Song Mian’s grandfather, who was a Chinese, seriously. They intended to use the “accidental killing” of the thief as an explanation.
Song Mian’s grandfather had arranged everything before he came, and he was rescued in time. However, he was seriously injured.
He fled back to China with his tail between his legs, and his body was covered in injuries. Song Mian’s great-grandfather was so angry that he put him in solitary confinement.
In the end, the person in charge of the financial group did have an outbreak of illness like what Song Mian’s grandfather had predicted. That was why he sent people to China to ask for the treatment of Song Mian’s grandfather.
After promising a lot of benefits, Song Mian’s grandfather agreed. In the end, although the person was cured, after going through a lot of trouble, the other party’s lifespan was also greatly reduced. Song Mian’s grandfather also customized a set of traditional Chinese medicine based on his physique.
That person only lived for fifteen years.
It was also at that time that the Song family rose to fame and gained a reputation in Europe and the United States. They also used this opportunity to develop and expand rapidly.
Lucifer’s family had to withdraw from the medical field according to the agreement. Their family’s influence was almost instantly eroded by the Song family, which was why the Song family was able to develop so rapidly abroad.
Thus, the conflict between the two families was settled.
“If they are willing to gamble, they must admit defeat. How can their family have the face to make things difficult for the Song family?” Yun Xiangxiang frowned after hearing this.
Lucifer’s grandfather had been arrogant to begin with. Song Mian’s grandfather had kindly reminded him, but he didn’t take it seriously. In the end, he could only blame himself for not being good at learning.
As for the Song family devouring their businesses, their family had to withdraw from this field. It was not the Song family but someone else.
Could it be that the Song family had bought their shares and medical facilities without paying? Or had they taken advantage of the situation and bought them at a low price?
It was likely that their family had almost killed the members of the big families but did not take his life. Their power could not be underestimated. It was impossible for the Song family to take advantage of them.
