Chapter 65.2 : A Completely Different Aura and Abnormality (Part 2)
"Tianren, what do you think of the young master of the Song family?"
"The young master of the Song family?" Lu Tianren, who was focused on driving, felt a bit puzzled. "Young Master Tang, are you asking about the Song young master born to the original wife, or the one born to the current Madam Song?"
"The one born to the original wife. He's a classmate from the class next door."
Hearing Lu Tianren say this, it seemed that outsiders were already well aware of the internal affairs of the Song family!
"If it's the eldest young master of the Song family, then I can only say it's a pity," Lu Tianren said calmly.
"A pity?"
"I heard it from my father. When Young Master Song was six years old, an instructor from the Martial Arts Academy once said that he possessed extremely high talent."
"Unfortunately, not long after that, Madam Song passed away. The Song family head suddenly married her sworn younger sister, then completely stopped involving himself in the family's affairs. About a year later, when my father went to the Song household again to discuss business, he found that all the servants had been replaced by the new Madam Song, and that the eldest young master had already been ruined by indulgence…"
"So that's how it was." Tang Qingmo nodded.
He had already learned all of this from the system—there was no new information here…
However, Lu Tianren continued, "Still, although the Song family head ignored the eldest young master, he doesn't seem to have been completely muddle-headed."
Tang Qingmo raised an eyebrow. "How so?"
"I heard that when the Song family head wanted to marry the current Madam Song, he suddenly issued a family notice and a will, stating that he would hand over full authority of the Song Group to the eldest young master."
"Full authority?"
"Yes. Right now, the Song Group is being managed by old retainers who once fought alongside the Song family head and his wife. After that notice was issued, even after he married the current Madam Song, she had no authority to interfere in the Song Group's affairs."
Because of this notice, even though Song Junqian's adoptive mother replaced the servants with her own people and deliberately ruined Song Junqian, she still couldn't completely sideline him from the entire Song Group!
"That's why my father said back then that the Song family head truly loved his child," Lu Tianren said with a faint smile.
Tang Qingmo: ...
Was that really the case?
If this had been before, Tang Qingmo might have believed those words.
But after seeing Song Junqian's state just now, he felt uncertain.
Tang Qingmo asked silently, [System, is everything Lu Tianren just said true?]
[Yes, Host. Is there a problem?]
Since the plot development—Song Junqian being ruined and the Song family being infiltrated by the adoptive mother—matched what the system knew, it didn't see any issues.
Tang Qingmo continued, [Then can you confirm that the Song family head has truly been decadent for twelve years without any change at all?]
[Yes! Ever since the Heavenly Dao was interfered with, apart from setting up the family notice and will, the Song family head has locked himself in his room and completely given up on himself. He doesn't even go back to the company anymore!]
[His subordinates tried persuading him many times. Later, they probably got annoyed, so they stopped bothering with him altogether. Any problems were taken directly to Su Jingchen instead.]
[...]
The system didn't understand family power struggles, so it felt these details weren't important.
But to Tang Qingmo, there were serious issues here!
How could a Song family head who had been completely decadent suddenly issue a notice and will that affected the entire Song Group?
And then there was the aura Song Junqian released earlier—completely different from his usual self…
It seemed he really needed to find time to have a proper talk with Su Jingchen!
Meanwhile, in the infirmary.
After Song Junqian collapsed, Su Jingchen had been sitting beside the hospital bed, waiting for him to wake up.
Before long, Song Junqian's fingers and eyelids twitched. A sharp, piercing gaze slowly surfaced, making Su Jingchen nervously stand up.
"Young Master, are you feeling alright?"
"I'm fine…" Song Junqian's voice sounded somewhat weak, yet his tone was icy. "That person just now… his name was Tang Qingmo?"
"Yes. He's the Tang family's real young master who caused quite a stir online a few days ago," Su Jingchen replied.
"He just now… mentioned the Martial Arts Academy, didn't he?" Song Junqian felt his head aching badly, his vision gradually blurring, and he clenched his teeth.
"Yes. The teacher said today that we'll soon be filling out our university application forms."
Hearing this, Song Junqian immediately grabbed Su Jingchen's hand and said with difficulty, "Jingchen, when the time comes, no matter what choices are written on my application…"
"When you submit it, you must change everything to the Mo Wu Academy!"
