Chapter 105: Lunatic

This isn't just explosive, it's explosively extreme.

【Hard to believe.】

A wave of complicated feelings flashed through Shen Mo's heart, and he said with a speechless expression: "That Song Wenjing is the eldest young master of the Song Family, he should have been groomed as an heir from a young age, right? How could he do something like this?"

"Hasn't the Song Family reflected on their own parenting problems?"

"Also, that canary kept by Song Wenjing—how did she know her kidney was a match for his? That's not normal either."

Shen Mo felt there were too many things that didn't add up.

No matter how stupid Song Wenjing was, he was still the heir of a major family—he couldn't have been swindled this badly, right?

Zhou Yue said quietly: "I don't know how Song Wenjing became such a brain-dead idiot, I only know the Song Family has already replaced their heir."

"As for the kidney issue with Song Wenjing, it's easy to explain—that canary hooked up with Song Wenjing specifically to find a suitable kidney."

"Most likely, during the process of Song Wenjing helping her find a kidney, he also got tested for a match himself, and that's when he got duped."

"Still, to be able to pull off that scam, that canary is indeed impressive. You can only say that, for the sake of survival, she unleashed tremendous power."

"But isn't that canary afraid of retaliation?" Liu Qingqing asked a key question.

The Song Family couldn't possibly tolerate one of their own being bullied like that.

Zhou Yue sighed: "But what if the Song Family has already fallen?"

That remark left everyone present stunned for a moment.

The Song Family... has fallen?

Zhao Yanyan and Liu Yue exchanged a glance—how had they not heard such news?

Even though Jinghai and Jingcheng are far apart, and there's a gap between their families, if the Song Family had collapsed, there would definitely be a whole chain of ripple effects.

At the very least, the industries controlled by the Song Family would all be demanded back, and they would definitely have received word.

Zhou Yue said with a complicated look: "Song Wenjing himself was quite capable. Riding the Song Family's momentum, he contributed a lot to the Song Family's commercial empire and supported the Song Family's people."

"You could say, apart from being love-brained, he had no flaws."

"But I heard that his little canary, desperate to survive, sold off some of Song Wenjing's records."

"If you've been paying attention to the news anchors lately, you'll notice that a whole series of Song Family members haven't been seen for a while."

Zhou Yue's words made Zhao Yanyan and Liu Yue's expressions freeze.

【Damn, there's even this way of confirming things.】

Shen Mo was stunned.

After a long pause, Liu Qingqing sighed: "Sister Zhou, not taking the civil service exam really is a waste of some of your talent."

Who would have thought you could confirm someone's situation from the news broadcast?

Zhou Yue smiled and moved on to other gossip.

"You all know about the Zhou Family in Gangcheng, right? Their eldest miss kept a phoenix man, got swindled out of money and her body, and even had her baby swapped."

"Now she's scouring the world looking for her child and hunting down the phoenix man."

"Then there's Old Man Niu from Modu. I went there for a banquet recently, and a young man told me that the reason Old Man Niu never married his whole life was that, somehow in his early years, he became infatuated with the young widow left behind by a deceased friend—and that young widow was a manipulative green tea bitch."

"As a result, Old Man Niu lost his wife, came to a sudden realization, and kicked off a wife-chasing crematorium arc."

"He never married, and suffered his whole life."

"Meanwhile, Old Man Niu's original wife is now thriving—loving husband, grandchildren already grown."

"Similar to that is Zhao Zhongyang from Shencheng—that guy is also in the middle of a wife-chasing crematorium arc now."

"He abandoned his wife for his career. Now that he's made his name, he's drowning in the moonlight of those days. Especially after his wife left him, she went on to date a tech nouveau riche, then a celebrated musician. Now in her forties, she still looks like she's in her twenties, and while raising her daughter, she's also started dating a pilot in his twenties. After she even learned to fly a plane, the whole person became even more melancholy."

………. 【Oh my god, there are so many weirdos in this world.】

Shen Mo was truly stunned, completely unable to fathom what those people were thinking.

"So you see, reality is more explosive than novels." Zhao Yanyan sighed.

She could already picture Zhou Yue at the banquet—definitely a bystander munching on melon in the crowd.

So when some people think what they're doing is romantic and badass, they have no idea that the people around them are looking at them with the eyes reserved for idiots, secretly sighing in their hearts, what a fool.

Just thinking about it made Zhao Yanyan laugh uncontrollably.

Like Song Wenjing stopping a plane—looks romantic, but the people on the plane only think he's a jerk, and afterward the Song Family still has to pay up, earning him nothing but the title of Money-Dispensing Boy.

As for not paying up?

Sorry, then your Song Family is really something—you'd be crushed by political opponents.

Your family is that ruthless? You really think you're the emperor.

After they finished laughing, Liu Qingqing began asking Liu Yue about her situation, expressing appropriate concern, and stating she absolutely had no intention of infiltrating the Liu Family's inner circle.

Liu Qingqing already felt her life was complete—no need to go courting death again.

The main purpose of this visit was also to express that.

Whether they suspected her or not didn't matter—what mattered was she had to get her heart across.

Those few hadn't left yet, and before dinner Shen Jiajia rushed over again.

Shen Jiajia came on behalf of the Shen Family.

Upon arriving, she first launched into a tirade at Shen Mo, complaining in every way that he didn't care about his wife.

Shen Mo gave a wry smile.

【Feels like I'm about to go dark.】

Then Shen Jiajia expressed concern to Liu Yue, brought all sorts of tonics, and a string of prayer beads personally requested by Zhu Kailan.

They were truly meant for the child in the belly, not because of what Shen Mo had given.

With all the fuss, it was already evening.

Lying in bed, Liu Yue comforted Shen Mo for a while.

Although Shen Mo felt there was nothing to it, he really liked this feeling.

The next day at noon, Liu Yue woke from her nap and, not finding Shen Mo beside her, felt a sudden pang of alarm.

At this moment, the villa was also completely silent.

When Liu Yue walked out of her room, went downstairs, and came into the living room, she happened to see Shen Mo pushing the door open and coming in carrying a box.

【No way, why is my wife awake this early?】

Shen Mo was a little thrown off.

Liu Yue tilted her head — did he sneak out behind my back to do something shady?

Taking a deep breath, Shen Mo helped Liu Yue over to the sofa, then with a grin opened the box in his hands right in front of her.

Liu Yue took a look — it was a classical jewelry box.

The moment it was opened, Liu Yue was dazzled.

Three tiers: two gold bracelets, three gold rings, two pairs of gold earrings, one anklet, two bracelets, and one gold necklace.

"These were all made by my grandmother before she passed. This jewelry box was also meant to be passed down to the granddaughter-in-law."

"The old lady said that after she died, the Shen Family would most likely not just let me be raised in a hands-off, indifferent way."

"So she couldn't let her future granddaughter-in-law feel like she wasn't valued."

Liu Yue covered her mouth.
