Chapter 260: Madam, You’ve Finally Grown Up

Song Yinyin clutched her phone tightly; she simply couldn’t believe that Song Qingtian could pull this off.

She still had to meet Shen Conghao and had even dressed up specially for the occasion.

Since she didn’t want to dwell on it, she decided not to think too much about it.

Song Yinyin glanced at herself in the mirror one more time before heading out to see Shen Conghao.

After hanging up the phone, Song Yinyin turned around and looked at her daughter, Ling Nuonuo, in the bedroom.

It seemed she really did have to go out—but the question was… who would take care of her daughter?

Song Qingtian pondered for a moment: it was time to poach someone from the competition.

So she picked up the phone and called Aunt Chen.

At first, Aunt Chen was rather hesitant.

But Song Qingtian assured her repeatedly that she could make sure Aunt Chen had nothing to worry about.

Aunt Chen also admired Song Qingtian, so she quickly packed up and called Ling Hanyu, telling him she was quitting.

Ling Hanyu was in the middle of a meeting when he received the call. His expression darkened, and he had no choice but to adjourn the meeting and step outside.

In the hallway, Ling Hanyu wore a somber look.

“Is this Madam’s wish?”

Who was Ling Hanyu, after all?

Wouldn’t he know exactly what kind of person Aunt Chen was?

Without Song Qingtian, Aunt Chen might have spent her entire life working for the Chen family.

To steal the boss’s employee—Aunt Chen had to be bold.

Aunt Chen was already on her way out, feeling torn.

“Mister, please don’t put me in an awkward position.”

Ling Hanyu paused for a moment. “Take good care of them—mother and daughter!”

Aunt Chen was momentarily taken aback. “Mister…”

“I’ll provide the money; for now, you just take care of them.”

“Auntie…” she began.

“I’ve got another meeting to attend. If there’s anything urgent, give me a call. I don’t want anything to happen to mother and daughter. Madam is still young; although she’s reformed, she still lacks a bit of thoroughness. Stay by her side and watch over her closely—don’t let anything happen to her.”

“Yes…”

Aunt Chen’s anxious heart finally settled, and she even felt a little secretly pleased.

She never would have dreamed that Ling Hanyu would say such things.

Ling Hanyu hung up the phone and turned to head back to his meeting.

Aunt Chen soon arrived at Yunhai Pavilion.

Song Qingtian was waiting for her at the door.

She hadn’t been to Yunhai Pavilion very often—she’d only come once before.

She couldn’t remember what she’d done then.

But the layout of Yunhai Pavilion was no different from that of Haitian Pavilion; the only difference was the corresponding positions.

As soon as she walked in, Aunt Chen pulled her luggage and said worriedly, “Madam, this place is under seizure. Does that mean we’re breaking the law?”

Aunt Chen was dutifully following Ling Hanyu’s instructions: she was supposed to look after Song Qingtian.

Song Qingtian smiled. “Don’t worry, Aunt Chen—we’re staying here legally. The previous seizure wasn’t bankruptcy-related; it was a temporary hold because the assets were in the hands of people unrelated to my parents. It was necessary to temporarily seal them off until we could determine who owned them and carry out an inventory.”

Aunt Chen was stunned. “Then what about now?”

“Right now, the property is in Mr. Ling’s hands—but that doesn’t mean he can stop me from moving in. The reason is simple: he’s holding these assets for me. Whether he applied for the seizure or not, it all comes down to me. And although I don’t have the right to sell anything here yet, this place…still belongs to me. I’m living here, and no one has the right to interfere.”

“Oh!”

It took Aunt Chen a long while to realize what Song Qingtian meant.

Aunt Chen couldn’t help but admire Song Qingtian: “Madam, you’ve finally grown up!”

Her admiration was genuine.

But Song Qingtian merely smiled faintly.

If the original female supporting character had half of Song Qingtian’s wisdom—if she hadn’t fixated on just one man—she might still be enjoying a wonderful life right now.

What a pity!

Once inside, Song Qingtian explained everything to Aunt Chen, to prevent her from being swayed by Ling Hanyu.

Song Qingtian made it clear that she wouldn’t tell Aunt Chen the password to the main gate—for now.

Aunt Chen nodded. “I understand.”

After settling Aunt Chen in, Song Qingtian handed her daughter over and left the room.

The reason she did this was that she couldn’t post any information about Yunhai Pavilion online—otherwise, trouble would surely follow.

The police could easily trace the source of any video posted, and that would be far from fun.
