The Villain's Mother

Chapter 27 – The novel’s Ruan Xia was an excellent judge of character! (2)

Raising a child was truly very tiring work. In her stringent, unbiased opinion, even though he was almost four-years-old and there was a housekeeper to clean and cook, watching after a child was more exhausting than her previous office job.

After today’s experience, Ruan Xia gained a new appreciation and respect for full time stay-at-home moms.

When she was watching after the chubby kid today, she would occasionally have time for herself. During those times, she would look at her phone, and she happened to accidentally click on Weibo’s top searches. She saw that there had been a sudden downpour in City A last night. Originally, this would have been good news because there had been a long period of high temperatures, and the rain would have brought cooler temperatures. However, the rainfall had been too heavy, and a truck collided into a car on the road to the airport because of the bad weather conditions.

Ruan Xia felt as if her heart had leapt up to her throat.

She hastily looked for more details on this incident. It was only when she saw that the people in the accident had been sent to the hospital, and there was no news of anyone dying yet that she felt slightly at ease.

Although she had helped Song Tingshen avoid his original fate, a car accident had still occurred.

Then, was it okay to think that Song Tingshen’s death in the novel had really just been an accident?

Song Tingshen had also seen the news report for the car accident in City A.

He thought of the dream that Ruan Xia said she had and connected it with reality. For a period of time, he was silent as he digested this news.

Once Song Tingshen had handled his work in the office, he prepared to go home. Although the housekeeper aunty had informed him that Little Wang’s fever had subsided, he still felt worried. Before he could leave the office, someone knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

Li Jing pushed the door open and came inside. She was holding documents in her hand. Li Jing was a newly graduated college student and currently working in the Finance Department.

She walked to the desk and placed the documents as well as a sandwich down on the desk. “CEO Song, you don’t seem well today. Did you skip breakfast? I made this sandwich. If you...”

Song Tingshen didn’t even raise his head as he shut down his computer. In an uninterested tone, he said, “Thank you, but I don’t need it.”

Li Jing was Song Tingshen’s college friend’s younger sister. After she had graduated college, she applied at Song Tingshen’s company. Her qualifications were decent, so she was hired.

Li Jing saw him getting up and picking up his car keys. She instinctively asked, “You’re heading out?”

Song Tingshen didn’t answer her. But, when he reached the doorway, he stopped and said to Li Jing, “You don’t need to bring me this type of report. You can give it Assistant Chen instead.”

Li Jing froze in surprise for a moment. Very quickly, she nodded and said with a smile, “Okay. I originally wanted to find Assistant Chen and give him this report, but he’s not here today.”

Song Tingshen didn’t respond. After opening the door, he strode out and left the company.

Li Jing carefully hid the sandwich under the documents so that no one else in the company would see it. When she went back to her cubicle, she took a deep breath and smiled at her reflection in the mirror.

Song Tingshen had the chauffeur drive him home.

Although there was a housekeeper aunty and Ruan Xia at home today, he still felt worried. It was only when he got home and saw Ruan Xia playing with building blocks with their son on the living room carpet that he could sigh in relief.

Little Wang had mostly recovered from his fever. When he saw that his dad was back, he scuttled over and hugged his dad’s leg.”Dad, you’re home!”

Song Tingshen picked him up. Perhaps, it was just a figment of his imagination, but he felt that his son had lost weight. “En, I’m back from work. Are you feeling better today?”
