Chapter 690 The First Snow in Harbor City

Actually, families like the Zang Family knew many families’ secrets.

And they were on good terms with some of the families.

After all, the more they knew, the more uneasy others felt.

Therefore, some families would take the initiative to curry favor with the Zang Family in order to know how much the family knew about them.

After a few years, they would be on good terms with the Zang Family.

If it went on for decades, they would be old family friends.

Mei Qi finished packing very quickly. Then he got on the flight to Harbor City with Song Yunxuan and Zang Linger.

On the plane, Zang Linger asked Song Yunxuan, “You made such a rash arrangement for Shao Xue. You think she’ll accept it?”

“Unless someone makes a formal proposal to the Shao Family. Otherwise, if Shao Tianze calls the shots, Shao Xue can’t make any comments, not to mention raising any objections.”

If Gu Changle was obstructive, she was sure that if the man Shao Tianze chose was turned down by Shao Xue, Shao Xue and Shao Tianze would absolutely turn against each other.

By then, Shao Xue would be in greater danger.

Song Yunxuan didn’t want Shao Xue to be in danger, so the best way was to get Shao Xue a reliable and respected family to protect her.

After hearing Song Yunxuan out, Zang Linger understood her. But she still had got some questions.

“Yunxuan, to be honest, Luo Xi is really not a man you can trust with your life.”

Song Yunxuan smiled, replying, “But who do you think is more reliable, Luo Xi or Xue Tao?”

Zang Linger hesitated for the merest fraction of a second and then replied, “Luo Xi. But it can be said that Luo Xi is a merciless person.”

Luo Xi was not an easy-going man. Besides, though he was one of the eligible bachelors in Harbor City, few women wanted to marry him.

Because the man was never short of women, but he just played them.

What was worse, he used her girlfriend to protect him from being stabbed when his enemies came for him in a pub, which was severely condemned.

Moreover, the woman’s vital part was hurt and she died at the scene.

However, this was just a rumor. According to Zang Linger’s words, the woman didn’t die at the scene and could still be saved.

But in order to frame and completely get rid of his enemy, Luo Xi stabbed the woman again, which hurt her vital part and made her die.

Zang Linger’s words silenced Song Yunxuan.

Zang Linger said, “If Shao Xue knows that you are going to marry her to such a cruel man, she must be upset.”

“I just think Luo Xi can protect Shao Xue. As for whether Luo Xi is the man in the rumor, I must see him first and then I can decide.”

Seeing that Song Yunxuan was unmovable, Zang Linger had no choice but to say, “When we arrive in Harbor City, I’ll go to the Luo Family with you. Luo Xi caused some trouble lately, making his relationship with his family strained. I heard that the elder of the Luo Family is now keeping him in detention. If without any help, you can’t see him.”

Song Yunxuan smiled, replying, “Then you must help me.”

Zang Linger said, “Isn’t it why you take me with you?”

Song Yunxuan replied with a smile, “You are really a clever little thing.”

“I’m nobody compared with you. You’ve got a perfect scheme.”

“Do you mind my scheming?”

Song Yunxuan asked Zang Linger.

Zang Linger smiled, saying, “Who doesn’t scheme in this sphere?”

In this sphere, or more accurately, in this world, who didn’t live on by scheming?

If one didn’t frame others, he would be framed.

So it was better to frame others than to be framed.

Song Yunxuan and Zang Linger both knew it, so they understood each other’s needs.

It could even be said that they made use of each other. To put it mildly, they cooperated for mutual benefit.

After getting aboard, Song Yunxuan and Zang Linger didn’t talk much with each other.

They closed their eyes after the plane took off. After some hours, they deplaned and went to the hotel Song Yunxuan booked in Harbor City.

Zang Linger wanted Song Yunxuan to live in the Zang Family.

But Song Yunxuan thought it was too showy, so she stayed at the King Hotel instead of going to the Zang Family.

Before leaving, Zang Linger reminded her, “Be careful when you are in the hotel. It’s less safe than my family.”

Song Yunxuan nodded, “Don’t worry.”

She would not put herself at risk in such a critical moment.

After all, not only did she have to protect herself, but she also needed to protect the child left by Chu Mochen.

After Zang Linger left, Mei Qi accompanied Song Yunxuan to the hotel room, saying, “The bodyguards have arrived.”

Song Yunxuan nodded, replying, “OK.”

Mei Qi added, “Not only the bodyguards from the Song Family are protecting you, but the Chu Family also sent some men here.”

Song Yunxuan had mixed feelings.

“I see.”

Judging from what the Chu Family did, they valued the child in Song Yunxuan’s belly a lot.

Song Yunxuan rubbed her eyebrows with her hand, ordering, “We’ve just arrived today, so it’s not convenient for us to visit Luo Xi today. I’ll see if Zang Linger can arrange a meeting for us tomorrow.”

“I can run a check on Luo Xi for you before that.”

“OK, go ahead.”

Song Yunxuan nodded.

Seeing that, Mei Qi left the room.

Actually, Song Yunxuan had run a background check on Luo Xi.

But the information she got in Yuncheng was less than that she could get in Harbor City.

Song Yunxuan had a drink and then lay down on the hotel bed.

She felt tired, preparing to take a nap.

Just at that time, she heard someone turning the door handle of her room.

She stayed alert while sleeping and immediately realized that someone was trying to open her door. She got out of the bed immediately and padded across the room to the door.

It was possible that someone entered the room as Mei Qi didn’t lock the door when he left.

It was just her bodyguards had already been in position.

She didn’t think anything would happen.

But who turned the door handle?

She opened the door.

Then a bodyguard in the suit strode over, asking Song Yunxuan respectfully, “Manager Song, how may I help you?”

“Did anyone pass by my door?”

The bodyguard was a bit stupefied and then immediately answered, “No, I’ve been guarding at your door all the time.”

Song Yunxuan felt dubious, saying, “OK. Guard here for me.”

The bodyguard nodded, replying, “OK, Miss Song.”

After that, Song Yunxuan returned to her room.

As the time to meet Luo Xi could only be fixed after Song Yunxuan got the message from Zang Linger, Song Yunxuan and Mei Qi returned to the respective room after dinner.

In winter, the weather was getting colder and colder in Harbor City.

Feather-like snowflakes floated down from the sky.

Seeing that through the great French windows, Song Yunxuan halted.

Seeing that, Mei Qi asked Song Yunxuan curiously, “Manager Song?”

Hearing that, Song Yunxuan came out of her trance and replied with a smile, “Assistant Mei, look, it’s snowing.”

Mei Qi looked out of the windows when hearing Song Yunxuan’s words.

In the light of streetlamps, white feather-like snowflakes floated down, whitening the ground.

Song Yunxuan took a look at the watch on her wrist and found that it was eight o’clock.

It was not too late for a walk.

Song Yunxuan smiled, asking Mei Qi, “Are you tired, Assistant Mei?”

Mei Qi seemed to see through Song Yunxuan, saying, “If you want to take a walk, I can keep you company.”

“If you are too tired…”

“No.”

Mei Qi cut Song Yunxuan off, smiling at her.

Seeing the smile on Mei Qi’s face, Song Yunxuan nodded, replying, “Then let’s take a walk.”

Mei Qi was like an elder brother, always keeping Song Yunxuan company.

Mei Qi knew that Song Yunxuan’s mood worsened because of Chu Mochen’s sudden death, and he had to do something to raise her spirits.

So he always tried to make Song Yunxuan happy when being with her.

Mei Qi was willing to do whatever she liked.

Because Mei Qi always had a feeling that he was familiar with Song Yunxuan.

Song Yunxuan let a bodyguard fetch her coat and scarf for her.

Considering the temperature outside, Mei Qi took his gloves off and handed them to Song Yunxuan, saying, “Put them on, Manager Song.”

Seeing that, Song Yunxuan smiled, asking him, “But what about you?”

“Men don’t feel the cold as much as you women do.”

Hearing that, Song Yunxuan couldn’t help chuckling.

Then she took over the gloves and put them on.

While walking outside, Song Yunxuan and Mei Qi were talking with each other.

There were also some exciting voices around them. They could vaguely hear passersby saying something like “the first snow” and “so beautiful”.

Hearing that, Song Yunxuan reached out to catch the snowflakes falling from the sky.

The crystal white snowflakes fell on the black capeskin gloves she was wearing. The snowflakes did not melt immediately. Song Yunxuan looked at the snowflake in her hand and chuckled, saying, “Christmas is coming soon, right?”

“Yes.” Mei Qi replied.

Song Yunxuan continued, “He was with me last year.”

Hearing that, Mei Qi winced.

Indeed, Chu Mochen was with Song Yunxuan at this time last year.

But this year, everything changed.

Now, she would think of Chu Mochen whenever she was free.

Thinking of this, Mei Qi suddenly felt sorry for Song Yunxuan.

She did fall in love with Chu Mochen.
