Chapter 247: What a Fine Mess You’ve Made

Song Qingtian dealt with the savage father and son, then called the police officers who had come to help.

On the other end of the line, there was a moment of stunned silence.

Just like that, it’s over?

But there was nothing they could do—after all, they couldn’t repay such kindness, and since the other party had already resolved the issue, there was no choice.

The police headed back the way they came, and Song Qingtian, holding her daughter, was also preparing to leave.

“I’ll see you off.”

Shen Conghao acted like a knight in shining armor.

Since Song Qingtian had received their help, she didn’t feel comfortable refusing.

The three of them left together.

Shen Conghao particularly liked Ling Nuonuo, chatting with her as they walked.

At first, Ling Nuonuo was a bit timid and shy.

But Shen Conghao helped her, and she was grateful.

He knew how to coax her, and soon she was smiling.

Shen Conghao even picked up Ling Nuonuo and carried her.

Song Qingtian hadn’t wanted to, thinking her own daughter should be held by her.

Yet Ling Nuonuo didn’t seem to mind playing with Shen Conghao, and when he said he knew an even more fun place, her eyes lit up.

The amusement park had left a bad impression, and Song Qingtian didn’t want her daughter to still be scared when she got home.

If Shen Conghao could help her forget those unpleasant memories, that would be a good thing.

The three of them went downstairs, and only then did Song Yinyin stop following them.

To make sure the photos were really saved on her phone, Song Yinyin opened it and checked again.

And this time, Song Yinyin had learned her lesson.

She wasn’t going to go straight to Ling Hanyu; if she did, he’d think she was spreading rumors and leave a bad impression.

She had to go through someone else.

After all, selling these kinds of photos would earn her a reward no matter who she sold them to.

This whole affair needed to be kept as secret as possible.

Song Yinyin couldn’t reveal that she was secretly plotting against Shen Conghao.

Today was Song Yinyin’s first day at the Song Family office.

Song Yingtang had given her a very strange task: to receive the president of a company planning to invest in the Song Group—namely, Shen Conghao.

It was said that the elder of the Shen family had once been indebted to the elder of the Song family, so this time, when the Song Family ran into trouble, the Shen family specially sent their young president.

And the Shen family is well-known internationally.

Song Yingtang even mentioned today that Shen Conghao is still unmarried.

This trip back home wasn’t just about helping the Song Family—it was also about finding a suitable match for him.

The Shen family was interested in the Song Family, which is why they asked her to handle the reception.

Song Yinyin thought this whole thing was ridiculous. She didn’t want to marry Shen Conghao anyway, and besides, she didn’t even know that Shen Conghao was born to a concubine and apparently wasn’t well-liked in the Shen family.

But then she stumbled upon Song Qingtian, which came as a delightful surprise.

Bringing them together would be extremely advantageous for her.

Song Yinyin found a contact and called to ask about the price.

After several rounds of negotiation, they finally agreed on 500,000 yuan for the photos.

But throughout the process, they were extra cautious—cautious, and then some!

When Song Yinyin received the money, she was overjoyed and immediately bought herself a handbag.

Meanwhile, Song Qingtian still had no idea that her outing with her daughter and Shen Conghao had already become public knowledge.

When Aunt Chen saw the news, she was absolutely shocked.

She almost dropped her phone.

How could the young mistress do such a thing?

Ling Hanyu had already arrived home, waiting for Song Qingtian to return with her daughter—but instead of her, the photos were everywhere.

Ling Hanyu was idly scrolling through his phone when he came across them.

He frowned as he looked at the photos one after another.

Aunt Chen stood nearby, her face growing paler and paler.

Just then, Song Qingtian returned with her daughter.

Ling Nuonuo was thrilled, running around while pulling a balloon and saying, “Mommy, I’m giving this to Daddy!”

“…Slow down, now!”

Song Qingtian still had no idea what had happened.

Outside the villa, Shen Conghao got into his car and received a call.

“What a fine mess you’ve made!”

The voice on the other end was furious—Mr. Shen, the patriarch.

He’d hoped his grandson would marry into the Song Family to repay the favor owed to the Song patriarch.

Now that the Song Family was in trouble, he’d hurriedly sent his grandson back home.

But what on earth had gone wrong?

Shen Conghao was baffled: “What’s going on?”

“Take a look at the news—those photos. Get rid of them before tomorrow morning, and as for that woman—who is she?”

With that, Mr. Shen hung up, nearly out of breath!

Shen Conghao opened his phone’s browser and started reading the local news.

“The wife of A City’s most domineering CEO, Ling Hanyu, has spent three years alone, unable to bear the loneliness, and has taken her daughter to seduce Shen Conghao, the arrogant young head of a multinational corporation.”

Shen Conghao’s expression darkened as he thought of Song Yinyin.

How interesting!
