Chapter 285: Absolutely not!

At noon, the Song family.

Wu Donghai and Wu Xin carefully selected some gifts before heading to the Song family.

Old Master Song already knew they had come to Jin Ling and also knew that their family's junior had encountered some things, so he didn't expect them to come to the house to pay a visit so soon.

However, since the eldest son and grandson of the Wu family had both come, Old Master Song was naturally very polite and came out to entertain them in person.

Wu Donghai and Wu Xin sat in the guest seats, Old Master Song sat opposite, and Uncle Yu was busy serving tea and water for everyone.

Wu Donghai presented a large pile of gifts, and then he arched his hands and smiled, "I haven't seen Uncle Song for a long time. I didn't expect Uncle Song's body to be so strong. It's really enviable!"

Old Master Song smiled slightly and said, "My body can't be called strong. At most, I still have some self-care ability and won't die for a while."

Wu Donghai said hurriedly, "Uncle Song, you are really humble."

As he spoke, he added, "Uncle Song, I heard earlier that you were unwell, but looking at your glowing face this time, it seems your body has recovered well?"

Old Master Song smiled sadly and said, "At first, I also felt that I had recovered well, but today I suddenly realized that I am still far from being well."

Wu Donghai was a bit surprised and asked, "Uncle Song, then what is called well?"

Old Master Song smiled slightly and sighed, "Returning to the physical state of more than ten years ago overnight—that is truly well!"

When he said this, what came to Old Master Song's mind was Shi Tianqi, who had overturned his cognition and shocked him incomparably today.

Since returning from Jishitang, he had been unable to forget this, and even felt resentful.

When could he also encounter such an opportunity? He would not have lived in vain.

However, Wu Donghai didn't know what he had experienced and thought he was joking, so he smiled and echoed, "As the saying goes, flowers have a day to bloom again, but people never return to their youth. Uncle Song, you long to be ten years younger, and I have the same wish. It's just a pity that this is ultimately just a wish and cannot be realized."

Old Master Song smiled indifferently and didn't say much.

Wu Donghai thought it was impossible to realize because he was sitting in a well and watching the sky, and had never seen a true dragon on earth like Master Ye.

Therefore, there was no need for him to argue with him on this issue.

So, Old Master Song asked him, "By the way, Donghai, how is your second son now?"

Wu Donghai sighed and said, "Still the same old state. All kinds of methods have been used, but there is still no progress. I have already sent him back to Suzhou and Hangzhou."

Speaking of this, Wu Donghai added, "Xiao Xin and I haven't left yet because we want to find out why my second son became like this. I suspect he was harmed by someone, possibly by strong psychological suggestion, and it may even have something to do with the kind of black magic in Southeast Asia. I don't know if Uncle Song knows if there are any experts in Jin Ling who are good at this kind of method?"

Old Master Song shook his head and said, "I have only heard of things like black magic, witchcraft, and the like, but I have never seen them, and I can't even be sure whether they are true or false."

Wu Donghai said seriously, "Black magic, witchcraft, raising ghosts—these things are actually true, but they are all side-door paths. Those who use these means are mostly villains, or people who crave wealth and want to become high-class people. Like our big families, generally, we don't bother to engage in these things."

Old Master Song nodded and said, "Big families all believe in Feng Shui, fate, the I Ching, and gossip. This is the essence passed down by our Chinese ancestors. As for the dross from Southeast Asia, to be honest, I really don't look down on them."

Wu Donghai said, "Looking at it this way, there is really no clue at all. In this situation, it is probably not easy to find the mastermind behind the scenes."

After speaking, Wu Donghai arched his hands and said, "Uncle Song, Xiao Xin and I are planning to stay in Jin Ling for a few more days to properly investigate the relevant clues. I don't know if it's convenient for Uncle Song to arrange for us to stay at your mansion for a few days?"

Old Master Song smiled and said, "The Song and Wu families can be considered family friends. Why be so polite about such a small matter? Since you are here, I should naturally fulfill the duties of a host. I will ask the servants to clean up two guest rooms later. You can just stay."

The Song family's villa is a mansion. There are more than a dozen rooms on one floor, and there are eight guest rooms in the house alone. It is too easy to arrange for the Wu family father and son to stay temporarily.

When Wu Donghai heard this, his face lit up with joy, and he thanked him hurriedly, "Thank you, Uncle Song!"

After speaking, Wu Donghai pulled Wu Xin, who hadn't spoken, to his side and smiled, "Uncle Song, I haven't officially introduced him to you yet. This is my son, Wu Xin, and also the next heir to the Wu family."

Wu Xin hurriedly bowed respectfully and said, "Junior Wu Xin, meet Grandpa Song!"

Old Master Song nodded with a smile and said, "The eldest son and grandson of the Wu family is indeed a talent!"

Wu Donghai laughed and said, "Uncle Song, you are too polite. Actually, your grandsons and granddaughters are all dragons and phoenixes among people!"

After speaking, he sighed, "Especially Wanting. I haven't seen her for many years. When she visited the hospital yesterday, I almost didn't recognize her! Now she is becoming more and more beautiful, atmospheric, and mature."

Old Master Song smiled and said, "Wanting just looks mature and capable, but in her heart, she is still a little girl."

Wu Donghai nodded and asked deliberately, "Uncle Song, Wanting should be of marriageable age. I don't know if you have found a good family for her?"

Old Master Song immediately thought of Ye Chen. It's just a pity that Ye Chen is still a live-in son-in-law of the Xiao family, the husband of that Xiao Churan, and has no substantial progress with his granddaughter, so he could only say, "I haven't found a family for Wanting yet. She is not very old, so this matter is not urgent."

Wu Donghai said hurriedly, "Uncle Song, actually this matter should be urgent. Time passes very quickly. If you are not in a hurry this year, not in a hurry next year, you will suddenly find that it is too late the year after. By then, finding someone, falling in love, grinding, talking about marriage, getting married, and ten months of pregnancy—by the time the child is born, she might be almost thirty years old."

Old Master Song nodded in agreement and said, "What you said makes sense. I have kept it in mind. I will talk to her properly later and persuade her to plan early."

Actually, Old Master Song thought that later he would use this set of rhetoric to persuade Song Wanting to take the initiative to attack Ye Chen as soon as possible and not continue to drag it out.

However, Wu Donghai thought that he had already paved the way and could get straight to the point.

So he said confidently, "Uncle Song, I see that Wanting and Wu Xin are about the same age and have reached the stage of talking about marriage. And I see that they can be considered a match. Uncle Song, I don't know if you have the intention to become in-laws with our Wu family?"

After speaking, Wu Donghai looked at Old Master Song with a full face of smiles and determination.

He felt that after Old Master Song heard this, he would definitely agree to him without hesitation.

Wu Xin on the side also stared at Old Master Song nervously, looking forward to Old Master Song being able to agree.

However, no one expected that when Old Master Song heard this, he blurted out two words: "No!"

After speaking, he added four words: "Absolutely not!"
