Chapter 810 Bequeath the Debts to Song Yunying
Shao Tianze soon delivered on the promise to Gu Changle.
He booked plane tickets the next day after he had told Gu Changle about the tour to Parise. Regardless of the huge crisis faced by the Shao Family, he took Gu Changle to Parise for the fashion show.
No one in the Shao enterprise knew why Shao Tianze took that woman to Parise now.
The Shao enterprise was facing a nasty crisis, and he should be so relaxed to take his girlfriend to Parise for a fashion show.
The news was circulated among those rich people, and as expected, Song Yunxuan soon heard it.
Next to her, Mei Qi asked Song Yunxuan, “He probably believed that you’re sick since he dared to take Gu Changle to Parise at this time.”
Song Yunxuan breathed out a sigh and put aside the parenting book in her hand, saying, “Maybe.”
If he could, in this situation, take his beloved girlfriend to a fashion show in Parise to make her happy, then he must have believed that Song Yunxuan would die soon.
Corners of her lips upward, Song Yunxuan gave a cold smile with darkness in her eyes.
It was fine if Shao Tianze kept letting himself slack off. She would beat him down little by little.
There was a coldness in Song Yunxuan’s gaze, and it was like a thin knife gliding through the air.
…
In the past few days, Song Yunying played the role of an obedient daughter-in-law in the Xue Family.
Xue Tao’s parents also heard about Song Yunxuan’s healthy condition from him.
In the past, they didn’t dare to force Song Yunying to do anything, but now they could boss around whenever they needed her.
Even Nurse Zhang, the servant who helped Song Yunying look after the baby, could not stand it anymore. She frowned when Song Yunying finished doing the dishes, saying, “That’s the job of a servant, Young Mistress! How could anyone make you do this?”
“It doesn’t matter. It’s just a couple of days.”
She would turn the Xue Family upside down when Song Yunxuan was free to help.
Song Yunying thought to herself silently.
But she still looked obedient and submissive.
Song Yunying picked up the baby after she washed a stack of dirty dishes.
Her son grew up day by day these months and would soon learn to crawl and walk.
As months elapsed, she was less scared than before.
When her son was young, she was always afraid he would fall ill.
He was not Xue Tao’s blood, so Xue Tao’s parents, who always suspected the baby’s identity, might ask for a paternity test if the baby got sick and was sent to the hospital.
If they knew the truth, Song Yunying would be doomed.
But now, the baby grew up healthily.
And he rarely got sick.
It was a great relief for Song Yunying to see it.
She would let the Xue Family order her about because it would not last long, anyway. Besides, the Xue Family would not go too far before the news of Song Yunxuan’s death came.
Making her do some chores was the worst thing they could do to her.
Song Yunying returned to the room with the baby in her arms.
Nurse Zhang went in with her to put the baby to bed.
But when Nurse Zhang was about to go in, Xue Tao’s mother stopped her.
“Come here, Nurse Zhang.”
Hearing the call, Nurse Zhang went to her and asked with a smile, “Do you need anything, Madam?”
She took Song Yunying’s side, indeed, but it was the Xue Family who owned the house.
Nurse Zhang could not defend Song Yunying even though she was dissatisfied with Xue Tao’s mother, the woman who could pay her salary.
With the baby in arms, Song Yunying was about to get into the room. Xue Tao’s mother took a look at her and then turned to Nurse Zhang, saying, “Go to the housekeeper. He’ll pay you the salary this month.”
Nurse Zhang paused a moment, and then she asked in confusion, “Why do you pay me now, Madam? It’s not the payday.”
Nurse Zhang had a sinking feeling.
As expected, after she asked,
Xue Tao’s mother began, “We’ve already got many servants. As you can see, Yunying can take care of Little Master when he is growing up. You won’t be wanted here, so I want you to go home.”
Nurse Zhang knew immediately that she was fired.
For a moment, Nurse Zhang lost countenance. “Little Master is not yet a year old, Madam. He’ll cry at night. Young Mistress will have to look after him on her own if I leave. How could she bear that?” She said.
Nurse Zhang was telling the truth.
For young children under three, a late-night snack was a must.
It would be easier with Nurse Zhang’s help. If Nurse Zhang left, Song Yunying would have to look after the baby all alone, which would be a sheer torment to her.
Xue Tao’s mother knew it, but she didn’t care about what Nurse Zhang said. All she wanted was to torture Song Yunying.
She frowned, saying, “Yunying is his mother. Isn’t it natural for her to take care of her son? So now what? Do you think you can take care of Little Master better than his mother?”
Xue Tao’s mother got mad as Nurse Zhang refused to take the money and leave.
Nurse Zhang noticed her angry face.
Thus, she shot Song Yunying a vexatious look.
Song Yunying wanted to entreat Xue Tao’s mother not to fire Nurse Zhang, the one who always helped her look after the baby.
But before she could say a word, Xue Tao’s mother broke in, “You didn’t mean you’re not able to look after your son on your own, did you, Yunying? I can hire a new nurse for you if you can’t do it alone. Nurse Zhang could make mistakes when she looks after the baby, given her age.”
Hearing that, Song Yunying understood that Xue Tao’s mother was forcing her to make a choice.
She should either take care of her son in every way and all by herself,
Or she should accept a new babysitter hired by Xue Tao’s mother.
Song Yunying would rather look after the baby on her own than leave him to a babysitter Xue Tao’s mother brought home.
At least Song Yunying would feel safe to look after the baby herself. Who knew what kind of strange people Xue Tao’s mother would hire to torment the baby if Song Yunying chose the latter.
Song Yunying knew that no one must try to discover her son’s identity.
So she always chose carefully.
Song Yunying signed, saying to Xue Tao’s mother, “Of course, I can take care of my son. I know you have compassion for Nurse Zhang because of her age and want her to go back home to live out her life in retirement. So I’ll follow your advice. I can do it on my own.”
Hearing that, Xue Tao’s mother smiled.
And there was a maliciously triumphant look in her eyes when she realized her filthy little trick worked.
Nurse Zhang took a look at Song Yunying, who was filled with grievance and tried her best to tolerate it. Nurse Zhang, however, could do nothing but sigh and go to the housekeeper, as Xue Tao’s mother asked, to get her salary this month in advance.
Song Yunying watched Nurse Zhang leave and then said to Xue Tao’s mother, “I’m gonna take the baby to bed now.”
“Hold on a second. The servant that helped me sweep the storage room left last month. Could you clean it for me, Yunying? There are a lot of valuable things in it, so I don’t feel easy about letting a stranger sweep it.”
“It’s time for the baby to sleep. I’ll do it tomorrow.”
Xue Tao’s mother looked at the big blinking eyes of her grandson, saying unkindly, “Your father wants a book in the storage room now, so you had better clean it today. It seems that the baby’s not tired yet. I’ll hold him. Just go and get the book for your father.”
Song Yunying knew Xue Tao’s mother would never let her off easy.
She nodded, saying, “Fine, I’ll do it now, mom.”
“Good. Give me the baby.”
“It’s fine, mom. It’s noisy when he cries, and you don’t know how to pacify him, I’m afraid. I’ll take him with me. I can take care of him.”
Song Yunying resolutely refused to leave her son to anyone.
Kids were often noisy, so Xue Tao’s mother didn’t intend to help Song Yunying take care of the baby at all. She was just saying.
Actually, she planned to go out and play cards. How could she do it with a baby?
As Xue Tao’s mother asked, Song Yunying went to sweep the storage room with the baby in her arms.
She had cursed Xue Tao’s mother a thousand times, but still, the room was there waiting for her to sweep.
She went to the storage room with the baby.
Seeing that, Xue Tao’s father came to his wife with a frown, saying in displeasure, “You should have asked a servant to do it. Song Yunying is the Young Mistress in this house, after all. Besides, Song Yunxuan is still alive. You shouldn’t have treated her like that.”
“Why?”
Xue Tao’s mother laughed, saying, “What are you afraid of? Song Yunxuan is going to die! I admit that I’m bullying her sister, and so what? She couldn’t hurt Xue Tao anymore, could she?”
She had got no good from the Song Family ever since Song Yunying married her son.
Instead, she was suppressed by Song Yunxuan, Song Yunying’s younger sister.
As Song Yunxuan was finally going to die and was unable to fight anyone, Xue Tao’s mother would want to deal with her useless daughter-in-law, of course.
“I know your meaning, but you should never hit a man when he’s down.”
Xue Tao’s father was very cautious.
He did not feel right when he saw his wife treated Song Yunying like that.
Xue Tao’s mother was hooked on the idea of going out and playing cards. Seeing that her husband was so worried, she said, “You’re thinking too much. Song Yunxuan is dying. How could she take vengeance on us?”
After that, she went towards the door, saying, “We can talk about it later. Now I got to go. I’m going to play cards with Chen.”
Xue Tao’s father watched her walked out the door.
He sighed after pondering and decided not to stop Song Yunying from cleaning.
The baby was asleep after Song Yunying finished cleaning the storage room.
She went into her room with the baby.
She pressed her sore waist when she noticed that Song Yunxuan was calling.
Her eyes twitched at the sight of the number, and then she picked it up with grievances in the heart.
“Yunxuan, you got to help me when you get better.”
Hearing that, Song Yunxuan understood immediately.
People in the Xue Family began to deal with Song Yunying already because they thought Song Yunxuan would soon be over.
“Did the old b*tches in the Xue Family bully you hard?”
Song Yunxuan asked Song Yunying.
When Song Yunying lived in the Song Family before she married Xue Tao,
Or when she lived in the Xue Family after her marriage, she had never been treated as a servant.
So she felt being humiliated more than just tired when she was treated like that.
“Yunxuan, they’re now treating me as a servant since they think you’re dying.”
