Chapter 273 The Song Family Seeks a Powerful Backer
For the next few days, Song Nanxi stayed in the small building.
We see several patients every day. Old Xiao next door has been in much better spirits since he started taking the medicine.
This gave everyone in the Xiao family a glimmer of hope. Perhaps... Song Nanxi really could cure it?
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, it was noisy and bustling outside.
Song Nanxi had just finished writing the prescription. Her study window had a direct view of the front door. "It's not a big problem. Take the prescription back and get five doses of medicine first. Come back for a follow-up visit after you've finished them."
As she spoke, she turned her head to look, and when she saw the large group of people standing outside the gate, her usually calm face twisted in shock.
no--
She opened her mouth and called out, "Qi Yu!!"
Qi Yu immediately came over from the rest area. "What's wrong?"
Song Nanxi pointed to the main entrance, incredulous and finding it utterly absurd, and asked Qi Yu, "What's going on? Am I hallucinating?"
Otherwise, how could she have seen Song Hong and Song Lan here?
Qi Yu leaned on the table, glanced outside, and couldn't help but twitch her lips.
Song Nanxi was radiating rage.
Although she had no deep-seated hatred or contact with Song Hong and Song Lan, it didn't mean that Song Nanxi considered them family.
Qi Yu quickly reassured her, "Don't worry, I'll go down and ask right now."
Song Nanxi slammed her hand on the table. "Get them out of here."
Seeing that Song Nanxi seemed to be busy, the patient took the prescription, hurriedly got up to say goodbye, and followed Qi Yu away.
Song Nanxi banged her head against the table, thinking to herself, "Are these people crazy?"
Moreover, Song Hong and Song Lan didn't just come by themselves; it seemed like their whole family came, a huge group of them.
Old Master Song was also surprised by their arrival. He frowned and asked Song Hong with displeasure, "Who sent you?"
Song Hong rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "Dad, you're not home for the New Year and you won't be back for the Lantern Festival either. Can a place be considered home without you? So, Song Lan and I thought about it and decided to bring the younger generation of the family to visit you."
Old Master Song scoffed coldly; he had given up all hope for these unfilial sons.
A bunch of good-for-nothing idiots!
"Now that you've seen it, get out of here."
Song Lan gritted her teeth, her expression freezing for a moment.
She secretly gave her son a push.
A boy stumbled forward a few steps before struggling to stop. When he looked up, he saw more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring at him. He gritted his teeth and knelt down before Old Master Song with a thud.
Happy New Year, Grandpa! Wishing you good health and all the best!
When facing the younger generation, Old Master Song's expression softened slightly, but not by much.
"Alright, let's talk outside. Lao Bai, go book a restaurant outside and eat out."
"Hey?" Song Hong glanced around furtively and said with a smile, "Dad, it's fine to eat at home. Just prepare something simple. If there's no chef here, you can have your daughter-in-law cook you a meal."
"Stop thinking about such nonsense!" Old Master Song scolded.
With so many people here, the Nanxi River is going to be a nuisance when it comes down.
He knew that Song Nanxi didn't have any feelings for her second uncle and aunt, so he didn't force her to get along with them. It was fine as it was, and Nanxi could do whatever she wanted.
"Eat if you want, or get out now!"
Seeing that Old Master Song was angry, Song Hongcai reluctantly shut his mouth.
Song Lan took the initiative to ask, "Dad, where's Nanxi? Isn't she home?"
Grandpa Song looked at her coldly, "It's the New Year, and I don't want to say anything unpleasant, but let me make this clear first: none of you should try to take Nanxi's place!"
They looked at each other in bewilderment.
Song Lan smiled bitterly, "Dad, who among us would dare to make a move on her? Do you know? Jingtai went bankrupt!"
In the days following Song Mo's arrest, Jingtai was already on the verge of collapse due to Song's withdrawal of investment. Other shareholders, seeing the situation was not good, also sold off their shares one after another. Then, the entire R&D department resigned. In addition, Song Mo was taken away in front of the public, and on such a charge, which was equivalent to being marked with a mark by the country. As long as he was still in China, he would never have the opportunity to move up in society again.
Thus, Song Mo, once the most outstanding eldest grandson of the Song family, was completely ruined.
Old Master Song was slightly taken aback, and a trace of sadness flashed quickly across his eyes.
But he quickly came to his senses and shook his head, "This is all his own fault, he can't blame anyone else, and you can't blame Nanxi for his fate either, Nanxi won't take the blame!"
This old man's favoritism is truly boundless—
This thought popped into both Song Hong's and Song Lan's minds.
Right now, they're too busy trying to curry favor with Song Nanxi to go against her.
They all smiled ingratiatingly, "You're right, we would never think that way! Xiao Mo is confused, he's been spoiled by his older brother and sister-in-law. Look at my older brother's family, from their biological son to their adopted daughter, not a single one of them is any good!"
Qi Yu listened quietly for a while and realized that there was no room for him to speak. Old Master Song had already cut off any possibility of them staying there.
So he turned around and went upstairs again, repeating everything to Song Nanxi.
Song Nanxi touched her chin and quickly realized what was going on.
Is this guy trying to curry favor with someone powerful?
interesting.
"When did XtalPi go bankrupt?"
Song Nanxi was too busy, so she forgot about this matter.
"yesterday."
Qi Yu showed her the news and said, "Song Mo is out, Nanxi, be careful."
He was worried that Song Mo might resort to desperate measures and do something detrimental to Song Nanxi.
“If he wants to stay inside for the rest of his life, then let him come,” Song Nanxi said meaningfully.
Qi Yu thought about it for a moment and couldn't help but smile, "That's true."
Which of the people following Song Nanxi are just for show?
I'm afraid they'll be broken before they even get close to Song Nanxi.
He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had woken up early enough; otherwise, even if he wanted to be Song Nanxi's bodyguard, it seemed there was no place for him.
After a while, Butler Bai came upstairs and asked Song Nanxi if she wanted to go out for dinner.
Song Nanxi didn't care whether she went or not, but Old Master Song definitely wanted her to go.
She hadn't been out for a long time either. She stretched and nodded, "Then let's go."
Restaurants are most difficult to book during holidays, especially high-end restaurants.
However, none of this mattered to the Song family now, and they quickly secured a private room spot.
The exceptionally large private room didn't feel crowded even with more than a dozen people sitting inside.
Song Hong tried to strike up a conversation with Song Lan, hoping to build a connection with Song Nanxi, but Song Nanxi's perfunctory and indifferent answers were enough to drive anyone crazy.
Knowing that Song Nanxi didn't want to talk to them, they could only shut up awkwardly after a while.
Song Nanxi was playing on her phone when she suddenly felt a tap on her arm.
Song Nanxi lifted her eyelids and glanced sideways.
The boy, whose blond hair had turned black, grinned foolishly at Song Nanxi. "Hey cousin, do you remember me? We met when Grandpa was in the hospital!" He gestured. "That time, you were holding a toilet brush and scrubbing it at my aunt and uncle—so cool!"
