Chapter 659: Tang Song's Arrangement

~19 min read 3,710 words

Even in the dream, Tang Song could still feel Qiuqiu's trembling and fear.

She was holding him tightly, saying something while sobbing.

"They are all bad people—they bully Qiuqiu—that lawyer, that fat man... they bully Mom—the money can't be gotten back, and the house isn't ours anymore..."

"I'm useless... I can't do anything—they are so fierce—I'm so scared—"

Although her appearance was already that of a cold and mature mature woman, her state and words at this moment were still like that little girl from the past.

Tang Song's heart was pricked, and he patted her back gently.

His voice was gentle and firm: "Don't be afraid, Qiuqiu, Dad is here. Who bullied you? Tell me."

From Qiuqiu's figure and appearance at this time, it could be seen that it was inevitably the problem she encountered in reality.

He had always known that this cold designer friend of his, who looked like an iceberg, was actually particularly timid.

Thunderstorms, darkness, horror movies—she was afraid of them all.

"Yes, Dad is here," Qiuqiu lifted her tear-stained face and looked at his blurry face, "Dad, save me, beat the bad guys."

"Who are the bad guys? Qiuqiu, did you encounter something? Don't be afraid, I will beat all the bad guys down.

Be good."

Tang Song gently stroked her orange-brown long hair.

Under his gentle guidance, Qiuqiu's emotions gradually calmed down a bit.

She sobbed and poured out everything that had happened recently, bit by bit.

From her mother buying a house for 2 million, to the unfinished building project and being injured while defending rights, to every scene today.

Tang Song's brow furrowed, gradually understanding, "... that lawyer is so powerful... he said so many things I couldn't understand. He said—he said we couldn't win the lawsuit, and in the end, the house wouldn't be ours..."

"And that black fat man—that security company's—he was so fierce, like a gangster—"

"Mom, when she opened a small snack shop before—she was bullied by those people. They smashed our shop—Mom was pushed to the ground by them—I was so scared—I was really so scared—"

When Qiuqiu said this, her body began to tremble violently again, as if she had fallen into a deeper memory.

"Look into my eyes."

Tang Song held her wet face and gently wiped away her tears.

"Qiuqiu, don't be afraid, Dad will protect you, all the bad guys will be beaten away by me. I will also help you get back every cent of the house money."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true." Tang Song hugged her down from the simple companion bed.

The cold and dark hospital hallway instantly became warm and bright, and flowers bloomed on the walls.

Qiuqiu instantly broke into tears and smiled, "Thank you, Dad."

Tang Song rubbed her head, "Let's go, Dad will take you home to sleep."

After saying that, he snapped his fingers gently.

The surrounding scene, like a painting smudged by water, slowly changed.

Immediately following, the two appeared in the large open-plan apartment of Yanjing Huating.

Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows was the magnificent night view of Yancheng, as bright as a galaxy.

"Wow, what a beautiful house! I seem to have been here before," Qiuqiu widened her eyes, stepping on the floor cautiously, "Mm, this is your home."

Tang Song held her hand and took her around the room.

Qiuqiu was a bit timid at first, but soon, that curiosity belonging to a young girl overcame her fear.

The drinks in the refrigerator, the drawing board in the study, the guitar in the bedroom—she touched here and looked there, soon becoming familiar with it, and a true, heartfelt smile appeared on her face again.

Finally, she stood in that audio-visual room with a huge screen and surround sound, asking to play "Plants vs. Zombies."

Tang Song turned on the laser projector and game console, and played with her.

Qiuqiu naturally leaned on his lap and held the controller.

Sometimes cheering for planting a "sunflower," sometimes pounding his chest in annoyance because a "zombie" ate her "squash."

Her body was the mature appearance of her twenty-something self in reality.

But her words and demeanor had returned to that little girl of ten-something years old, full of undisguised innocence and reliance.

Tired of playing, she lay in Tang Song's arms, half-opening her sleepy eyes.

She began to chatter again, telling him about the five fluffy little chicks she raised at grandma's house when she was little, and the big yellow dog next door that always liked to chase her.

She said that later, she stayed in Rongcheng for more than a year, and when she returned to her hometown, there were only three chicks left, and they had already grown into old hens that would lay eggs, never following her again.

And that big yellow dog was also stolen by dog thieves. Her voice became lighter and lighter, more and more blurry.

I don't know how much time passed, her breathing gradually became steady.

On the 【Dream Flower Seed】 above her head, the prototype of a camellia flower appeared faintly.

November 29, 2023, Wednesday, cloudy.

Six o'clock in the morning.

Cheng Qiuqiu slowly opened her eyes.

There was no fatigue or sleepiness at all, only a sense of unprecedented refreshment surging through her whole body.

As if every cell in her body was full of vitality again after a night of deep rest.

Since returning to Rongcheng, in the hospital, she had been tossing and turning almost every night, and her whole person was in a tense and exhausted bad state.

But last night, she slept exceptionally peacefully and soundly.

It seemed she even had an incomparably warm and beautiful dream.

However, when she tried to recall it seriously, those originally vivid images gradually became blurry and hazy.

In the end, only a vague emotion lingered in her heart, unable to dissipate.

"Dad—"

She shouted subconsciously, and Tang Song's figure actually appeared in her mind.

Qiuqiu's face turned red instantly! As if struck by an electric current, she sat up violently from the bed!

I—I—what was I thinking just now?!

A huge sense of shame instantly submerged her.

She just sat there blankly on the bed for a long time before the heat on her face dropped a little.

Picking up her phone, she was stunned.

On the screen, a new WeChat message sent half an hour ago was lying there quietly.

【Tang Song: "()/ Good morning, QQ, did you miss me?"】

Qiuqiu felt her heart, which had just calmed down, beat wildly again.

He took the initiative to send me a message again, and even asked if I missed him?

Qiuqiu stood up, her whole person nervous, not knowing where to put her fingers.

After deleting and modifying for a long time, she replied: "Good morning, Tang Song, I just woke up."

"Buzz, buzz, buzz—"

【Tang Song: "You haven't answered my question yet, did you miss me?"】

Qiuqiu's face gradually turned red, biting her lip, she replied: "Mm, I did."

After sending the message, she felt her whole person floating. 【Tang Song: Selfie. jpg】

Qiuqiu clicked on it quickly. In the photo was Tang Song's selfie; he should have just finished exercising, the bangs on his forehead still carrying wet sweat, fresh and handsome. Before she could recover from this "beauty" full of impact, the second message followed closely behind.

【Tang Song: "It's your turn."】

Qiuqiu was stunned, replied: "What do you mean?"

【Tang Song: "I missed you too, so I want to see your photo now."】

"Ah?!"

Qiuqiu let out a cry, subconsciously touched her face, a burst of panic.

During these few days of accompanying her in the hospital, she didn't eat well or sleep well, and her state was very bad. After hesitating for a while, she bit her lip and replied: "I have something to do, I'll send it to you later."

After saying that, she couldn't care about anything else, rushed out of the hospital like a gust of wind.

Hailed a taxi on the side of the road, and went straight to the home she was both familiar with and resistant to.

Showering, skincare, makeup, changing clothes—

Looking at herself glowing in the mirror, she finally raised her phone and opened the camera.

Yanjing Huating, large open-plan apartment.

"Ding-dong—"

The WeChat notification sound rang.

Tang Song, who had just changed his clothes, picked up his phone casually.

【Qiuqiu: Selfie. jpg】

Clicking on the photo, Tang Song's eyes lit up instantly.

She was wearing a simple white tight long-sleeved T-shirt and a pair of high-waisted tight jeans.

Yet it outlined her perfect comic-book figure vividly.

Looking at Qiuqiu's proud large QQ, and then looking at her cold and pure face, Tang Song's heart couldn't help but stir.

Worthy of being called Little Su Yu.

Really beautiful!

If Tang Song had to pick one person in his mind who was "most beautiful" in a pure sense.

That answer would inevitably be Su Yu.

Whether it was appearance or figure, Su Yu was a perfect existence beyond reproach.

After all, she was the top 【Female Star】 he personally created through the system by pouring in countless resources.

Both talent and appearance were peerless, beautiful as a fairy.

Her name itself was the publicly recognized adjective for "beauty."

Don't underestimate the importance of this beauty; after all, even that 【Dream Tang Song】, who was rational to the point of near "divinity," had once been infatuated with this female star.

Even not hesitating to spend a large amount of time and energy to "cultivate" and "conquer" her.

In the eyes of people like Secretary Jin and Ouyang Xianyue.

Su Yu was probably a female succubus.

After chatting with Qiuqiu for a long time and confirming that her emotions had completely stabilized, Tang Song finally breathed a sigh of relief.

His gaze gradually became bright and sharp.

He originally wanted to wait until he finished handling Ouyang's side before going to help Qiuqiu slowly resolve her heart knot.

Who would have thought that this poor designer friend of his would encounter such big trouble.

After several deep contacts in the dream, he already knew Qiuqiu's personality and past like the back of his hand.

He knew that hidden under her cold appearance was a heart that was so timid and so lacking in a sense of security.

Tang Song's brow raised slightly, he picked up his phone again, found Luo Bin's number, and dialed it.

The call was answered quickly.

"Hello, Luo Bin."

"Mr. Tang, good morning." On the other end of the phone came Luo Bin's steady and powerful voice.

Tang Song didn't have any pleasantries and said directly: "I need you to help me handle a matter. Contact the branch of Quan Jing in the Southwest region, mobilize the best litigation and commercial team, go to Rongcheng Second People's Hospital inpatient department, and find a girl named Cheng Qiuqiu—

Her mother, Li Meihua, was injured and hospitalized because of a property rights dispute—

Also, help me check the situation of two companies, check their equity structure, asset status, and debt chains; I will send you the company names later."

"Understood, Mr. Tang." Luo Bin paused, his voice adding a hint of solemnity, "This matter might be complicated. I happen to be in Jiangcheng handling an M&A case, not far from Rongcheng. So, I will personally lead the team over. By the way, regarding some new developments of Silent Crown, I also need to report to you in person."

"Good." Tang Song said concisely, "Then see you in Rongcheng."

Hanging up the phone, Tang Song tapped his fingertips on the desktop.

After thinking for a moment, he dialed Liu Jiayi's number again.

He gave a few instructions in a low voice.

Since Qiuqiu had already faced huge trouble, it naturally had to be solved first.

As for the unfinished house, he would talk about it after he arrived in Rongcheng.

Tang Song stood up, strode toward the bedroom, and began to pack his luggage.

After 9 o'clock in the morning.

Rongcheng, Second People's Hospital.

Two community police officers in uniform sat in front of the hospital bed, one asking, one recording.

Qiuqiu's narration was exceptionally serious: "The process of the matter is like this. Our demands are very clear: we require 【Xiongshi Security】 and 【Xuyuan Real Estate】 to publicly apologize to my mother and compensate for all medical expenses, lost wages, and mental damages."

The old policeman listened, looked at his young colleague beside him, and exchanged glances.

Then he closed the notebook and said with difficulty: "Little Cheng, we can understand your mood. But look, this kind of mass dispute, the situation at the scene is very complicated, and gathering evidence is very difficult. Also, I heard from the developer side that they also have sincerity in compensation. If this really goes to court, it will be time-consuming and laborious, and the final result is not necessarily—"

"It was them who pushed me down!" Li Meihua patted the bed, "If I hadn't been lucky, if my head had hit the corner of the table next to me, it's hard to say if I would still be here!"

Seeing that the two were determined, they could only stand up helplessly, "Well, then we will contact the developer side again and try our best to coordinate for you."

Cheng Qiuqiu stood up and sent the two out of the ward.

The toughness on Li Meihua's face gradually disappeared, replaced by worry and anxiety.

The hot and savage appearance she showed when defending her rights before was actually relying on the crowd, bluffing.

Now that she really had to fight a lawsuit against behemoths like developers and security companies by herself, she was truly scared in her heart.

Especially that black fat man named Zhang Zhanpeng yesterday; he didn't look like a good person at all, and that look made her feel goosebumps just thinking about it now.

Seeing her daughter return.

She grabbed Qiuqiu's hand and asked: "Qiuqiu, should we call a few relatives from our hometown?

So we won't be bullied by them."

Qiuqiu pondered for a moment and shook her head: "Not yet. Even if they come, they won't be able to help and might instead act impulsively and ruin things. Let's find a professional lawyer in this area first and prepare to file a lawsuit."

"Then—how much money will that cost? I heard that lawsuits are very expensive!"

"Don't worry about the money." Qiuqiu comforted her, "I didn't tell you before, I've already jumped ship from the original design company and changed to a new company. Now my monthly salary is over ten thousand, and there are performance bonuses, we can afford it."

Li Meihua's eyes lit up instantly, surprised and inexplicable: "What?! Monthly salary over ten thousand?! Really or fake?!"

"Mm." Qiuqiu nodded, and in order to make her feel at ease, she opened her phone, found the screenshot of the salary slip sent by the company's finance department last month, and handed it over.

Li Meihua leaned forward, looking at the long string of basic salary, post allowance, performance bonus, and the "five insurances and one fund" that was deducted on the clear electronic table.

Her expression became incomparably complicated instantly.

Having struggled at the bottom of society for so many years, her biggest feeling was that "money is hard to earn, shit is hard to eat."

This was also why she was so stingy and valued money so much.

And her own daughter, who had just graduated from university not long ago, could actually earn so much in a month.

She looked at Qiuqiu beside her, and pride, relief, sadness, and a trace of strangeness surged into her heart.

Just at this moment, the attending physician Su Wenxuan walked in.

"Qiuqiu, Aunt Li is recovering well, everything is normal, and she can be discharged at any time."

Li Meihua hurriedly let go of her daughter's hand.

Qiuqiu stood up: "Dr. Su, please, we want a most complete injury appraisal report. In addition, for this hospitalization fee, we won't use medical insurance, hoping to get a detailed total fee list."

Su Wenxuan sighed upon hearing this, "Well, no problem. You might have people coming often, living in a 4-person room is not suitable, I helped Aunt Li apply, and she will be transferred to the independent ward next door later."

"Thank you, Dr. Su."

Su Wenxuan looked at Cheng Qiuqiu and deliberated for a moment, saying earnestly: "I have a classmate who joined the best domestic law firm 【Quan Jing】 after graduation, and now he is in the Rongcheng branch, specializing in civil litigation. If you want to take legal action, in order to avoid being pitted by the other party's legal department, how about I have him come over and tell you what materials and evidence you need to prepare? Don't worry, it's just a consultation between friends, no charge. And if you really need representation, for my sake, the price can be much cheaper."

Hearing this, Li Meihua became excited.

"Oh my! Dr. Su, you—you are truly a good person!" She grabbed Su Wenxuan's hand excitedly, "This is too good, thank you so much. We were just worrying about not finding a way, not knowing who to look for."

In her eyes, the profession of doctor itself was full of halos, and Su Wenxuan was also a master's degree holder from a top three hospital.

High education, wide connections.

Now that he was willing to help voluntarily, this meant that they finally had a "backer" they could rely on.

Looking at her mother's appearance of being overjoyed, Qiuqiu opened her mouth, but the words of refusal ultimately couldn't be said.

She didn't like owing others favors, especially when she clearly knew that Su Wenxuan had a good impression of herself.

But looking at her mother's eyes that had regained hope, she really couldn't refuse.

Su Wenxuan saw that she didn't object, so he dialed the phone right in front of them.

After simply agreeing on the meeting time with his classmate, in order to make this pair of mother and daughter feel at ease, he didn't leave immediately.

He took out his phone, searched for the official website of "Quan Jing Law Firm," and began to introduce it to them.

Top "Red Circle Firm," the alliance of the most top-tier and elite law firms in China, representing the highest level and strongest strength of domestic legal services.

At the same time, it was also a global legal service organization with 19 offices worldwide and more than two thousand professional lawyers.

It was an internationally recognized, excellent large-scale comprehensive law firm.

Listening to this introduction, Li Meihua's eyes widened more and more, and her mouth gradually opened.

"Oh my! Truly amazing! Look at this boss, he looks dignified, looks very capable, and why does he feel a bit familiar?"

"Hehe, Auntie, that is the chief partner of Quan Jing, called Lawyer Luo Bin, who often appears on the CCTV legal column, so it's right that you feel familiar."

"No wonder, Dr. Su, you are truly amazing, the classmates you know are also so amazing, we have really met a noble person!"

This simple and honest flattery from her heart made a few embarrassed smiles appear on Su Wenxuan's face.

Then, he looked at the cold and sexy Qiuqiu and opened his mouth: "Why don't we add each other on WeChat. I'll push my classmate's WeChat to you, so you can send the materials on hand to him to see first, so that when he comes later, the communication will be more efficient."

Qiuqiu was silent for a moment, then bowed solemnly: "Thank you, Dr. Su."

She was not an ungrateful person and could see that the other party really wanted to help them.

Although she felt a bit awkward, in order to make her mother feel more at ease, she added Su Wenxuan on WeChat, and the smile on Su Wenxuan's face became even brighter.

After giving a few more instructions, he said goodbye and left.

Watching his back disappear at the door, Li Meihua immediately nudged her daughter's hand and lowered her voice, saying mysteriously: "Qiuqiu, what do you think of this Dr. Su?"

Qiuqiu's brow furrowed instantly, and her expression tightened.

Li Meihua didn't notice at all and continued to praise: "Look at him, a medical master from a prestigious university, his family also runs a supermarket, he looks handsome, and he handles things efficiently. I heard that many little nurses in the hospital are chasing him!"

"I don't want to hear you say these things." Qiuqiu interrupted directly.

Li Meihua was a bit unhappy, her voice raised a few points, "I'm doing it for your own good? I heard from Little Gao that in Yancheng, you don't know what kind of scumbag you encountered, who hooked your soul! People say he's stepping on several boats, and you still—"

Qiuqiu stood up violently, her expression becoming cold and hard: "If you say it again, I'll go back to Yancheng now."

Looking at her daughter's appearance, Li Meihua immediately shut her mouth.

The expression on her face became a bit unpleasant.

She knew her daughter's personality, stubborn and headstrong since childhood.

She didn't refute it to her face, which meant that there really was such a person in Yancheng.

That hope that had just risen because of Su Wenxuan's appearance was instantly extinguished by more than half.

In her view, the best destination for her daughter was actually to find a boyfriend like Su Wenxuan.

Good family conditions, high income, decent work, high social status, and most importantly, he was local in Rongcheng.

But now it seems that her daughter simply wouldn't listen to advice.

She was determined to go all the way to the end.

Soon, a head nurse came over personally and politely informed them that they could be transferred to the VIP ward.

Qiuqiu didn't say a word and began to pack her things, moving her few belongings into that spacious and bright independent ward.

Then she sat by the window alone with her head down, looking blankly at the sky in the northeast direction.

What is he doing now? ===== CHAPTER 660 =====
