The Villain's Mother

Chapter 128 – Not serious enough to be considered an offence (1)

Ruan Xia had guessed that the sender of the flowers was most likely Duan Chi. Song Tingshen could also guess that too.

In the past few years, Ruan Xia had often gone out to have fun, but none of her admirers had dared to send flowers to their home. But recently, she no longer went out to have a good time, and someone sent flowers to their home. Using normal logic, Song Tingshen made the connection that unless the flowers had been delivered to the wrong address, the sender had to be Duan Chi, who had come to his office a few days ago to ask why he and Ruan Xia hadn’t divorced yet.

In all fairness, if this had happened in the past, before Ruan Xia had changed, Song Tingshen would have left it to Ruan Xia to handle. But now... If she had to deal with it herself, she would come into contact with Duan Chi again. Song Tingshen didn’t ignore the dissatisfaction he felt at the thought of that.

He believed in Ruan Xia. There was definitely nothing between her and that Duan Chi. He was also sure that she would never like Duan Chi.

Even though he knew all those things, he still felt somewhat unhappy. Song Tingshen squeezed the bridge of his nose. In the end, he decided to listen to his heart. He picked up his phone and called a friend. “Please investigate someone for me. His name is Duan Chi. He’s a member of the Duan Corporation.”

“Hmm? Are you interested in Duan Corporation?” The friend smiled. “Who doesn’t know that Duan Corporation has become a bottomless hole? That family is too busy with internal strife every day. Even if you’re interested in their industry, you don’t have to take Duan Corporation into consideration.”

Song Tingshen replied, “It’s not related to work.”

No matter how much he disliked Duan Chi, he didn’t like to blur the lines between personal life and work life. Work was work. Personal was personal. They couldn’t be lumped together. He wouldn’t cause trouble for Duan Corporation because of Duan Chi. That wasn’t consistent with his past style.

“Not related to work? So it’s a personal matter?” The friend was a bit surprised. “What’s going on? I remember that your company doesn’t have any business dealings with Duan Corporation.”

Song Tingshen hesitated for a moment. “Actually, it’s nothing important. It can’t be clearly explained in a few words. I’ll have to trouble you to check up on this matter.”

If he checked on Duan Chi, it would inevitably stir up movement that would alert the Duan’s. That Duan Chi was probably someone with poor judgement. If he was a reasonable person, he wouldn’t have come to his office to look for him or say those ridiculous words.

It wouldn’t be possible that everyone in the Duan’s were idiots. There must be a few clear-headed people in the Duan’s. After all, the Duan’s had once been a prominent family. He believed that they would properly deal with Duan Chi’s matter once they found out.

“Then I have to ask, did Duan Chi offend you? I have a pretty good friend that’s an extended family member of the Duan’s. I have to give him some face.”

“Not serious enough to be considered an offence.” Song Tingshen didn’t answer too clearly. “Young people are probably more impulsive in their actions. It’s not a big deal.”

Although he didn’t clearly say everything, he had said everything that needed to be said.

“I understand. Be assured, I’ll immediately check him out for you.”

He understood Song Tingshen’s personality. For him to say “Not serious enough to be considered an offence”, it meant it was already a very big offense. Moreover, he had said young people would do impulsive things...

How to put it? Not only did Song Tingshen, who had come from a poor background, give off an unfathomable aura, he had built up his career by himself. This meant that he wasn’t a simple person. It was rare to see him angry, but once he was angry or lost his temper, it had to be something big.

“Thank you for your trouble,” Song Tingshen said.

“You’re too polite. We’re friends.”
