Chapter 953: Side Story – Liu Jinbao VS Song Jinghuan (4)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The feelings between people were mutual. Although Liu Jinbao felt terrible that his biological father had died, it was far less of a blow than Old Master Liu chasing him out of the family.
Unlike his parents, who had been hands-off caretakers after giving birth to him, his grandfather was his closest relative who had doted on him since he was young.
Although it had changed after Second Uncle was born, their relationship was still there.
When he heard Song Jinghuan’s question, he subconsciously wanted to nod, but he was afraid that it would really be as Manager Liu had said. His grandfather;s condition would worsen if he was unhappy.
Song Jinghuan knew what he was thinking at a glance. She curled her lips and said, “Don’t just believe what others say. Are you stupid?”
Liu Jinbao looked up at her with red eyes. He looked like an abandoned puppy. Song Jinghuan glanced at him and couldn’t bear to continue stabbing him with words. She glanced at the shrewd Manager Liu in disdain. “Let’s not talk about whether this person bullied his master or not…” Thinking that she didn’t have any evidence yet, and that Liu Jinbao believed this person’s words without a doubt, he changed the topic. “We didn’t come all the way here for nothing, right? This is very likely the last time you’ll see your grandfather.”
Liu Jinbao’s eyes darkened. “Grandfather…” He believed his grandfather didn’t want to see him.
Song Jinghuan thought to himself, “1 used to think that this person was quite smart. Why did he stop thinking when it came to Old Master Liu?”
She scratched her head. “Even if he doesn’t want to see you. You can see him secretly. You’re afraid that his condition will worsen, so you can just not let him know. Besides, your father is gone. As his son, you have to burn incense, right? And your mother, aren’t you going to visit her?”
Liu Jinbao was stunned. His grandfather didn’t want to see him, so he could sneak a look outside the window.
Manager Liu’s hand that was holding the pouch was still in midair. When he heard Song Jinghuan’s words, he knew that something was wrong. Seeing Liu Jinbao’s tempted expression, he opened his mouth to say, “The Old Master has instructed me not to let you take half a step into the Liu residence.”
Before he could finish sDeaking. Song linghuan snatched the Douch and shook it in his hand. It looked to be about 20 to 30 taels of silver, but as the manager of a rich family in town, he could casually take out so much money. Those who didn’t know better would think that he was the old master.
“You’re master and servant after all. For you to be able to give us so much money, you must be thinking about old times. Let him go in and offer incense to his father. He won’t object if we secretly take a look at the old master, right?” Song Jinghuan imitated the way the servants looked at them just now and glanced at him. “Anyway, the old master is sick now. Let’s go in quietly. As long as you don’t say anything, he won’t know that Liu Jinbao has returned. Naturally, he won’t be so angry that his condition will worsen.”
She directly blocked Manager Liu’s excuse. Manager Liu narrowed his eyes. “I wouldn’t dare to lie to my superiors.” He no longer referred to himself as an old servant.
Song Jinghuan sneered. “Are you afraid? Or do you already think of yourself as the master of the Liu residence? Are you afraid that we’ll discover something when we go in?”
Manager Liu seemed to have been stepped on and raised his voice. “Nonsense.” Seeing that Song Jinghuan was not easy to fool, he flicked his sleeve and said to Liu Jinbao, “You know Old Master’s temper. If you still respect him, leave quickly. Don’t make everyone look bad.”
Liu Jinbao was already persuaded by Song Jinghuan and didn’t listen to him at all. “I’ll go in and take a look before leaving.”
As he spoke, he was about to walk in.
Manager Liu naturally would not agree. He threatened, “I’ve already said all the good things. If you continue to pester me, don’t blame me for being rude. When the time comes, I’ll sue you for trespassing.”
The people in the government office had taken so many benefits from him in the past few years. As long as he sued them, he would guarantee that Liu Jinbao would never be able to come out.
Thinking of this, he wasn’t worried anymore. It was good that Liu Jinbao was back. He could just crush him to death to prevent any unnecessary trouble. He gave Yan San a look. The latter understood and immediately left.
Song Jinghuan saw this and didn’t stop him.
Looking at the guard who stood in front of him, Liu Jinbao hesitated for a moment.
It wasn’t that he was afraid of meeting the officials, but these people wouldn’t let him in. If he barged in, he would definitely cause a commotion and his grandfather would find out.
This was how humans were. The more they cared, the more careful they would be.
Song Jinghuan didn’t give him any time to waste and whipped Manager Liu.
She had seen that her sister-in-law was good at using the whip, so she got someone to make one. This was the first time she had used it.
This old thing was really lucky.
Liu Jinbao was stunned for a moment when she suddenly attacked. Those guards did not have time to react at all. The whip hit Manager Liu’s shoulder firmly, leaving a long red mark on his chin.
“Ah!” Manager Liu cried out in pain. He was helped up by his subordinates so that he did not fall to the ground.
The guards reacted and surrounded Song Jinghuan.
They didn’t take a little girl seriously at all. Similarly, Song Jinghuan didn’t take them seriously. She whipped out again and wrapped her whip around Manager Liu’s neck, dragging him in front of her.
“If you take another step forward, I’ll strangle him.” She tightened the whip.
She had been listening to this old thing’s pretense for a long time.
Manager Liu’s face turned red. He rolled his eyes in annoyance. Seeing this, the guards did not dare to go forward.
However, Song Jinghuan didn’t want to kill him for the time being. She intimidated him and loosened his grip. “Tell your men to move aside.
Otherwise, I’ll kill you first before barging in. Anyway, your death will be in vain.”
He didn’t want to die in vain.
Manager Liu had just gotten a chance to catch his breath. When he heard this, he was furious again. He said hatefully, “If you kill me, don’t even think about leaving Qingping Town.”
Would Song Jinghuan be afraid of him?
At this moment, a man could not help but say, “Young Master, Manager Liu is doing this for your own good. You should leave quickly with your companions.”
Song Jinghuan looked over. It was the follower who was so excited that he almost cried when he saw Liu Jinbao.
He seemed to be helping Manager Liu, but the worry in his eyes could not be faked.
This was most likely the person who sent the letter to Liu Jinbao.
However, this was not important now.
Seeing that she was silent and did not make a move, Manager Liu thought that she was afraid and continued to say ruthless words.
Song Jinghuan was impatient. She pulled out the dagger from her waist and stabbed it into his abdomen.
There was another wail like a pig being slaughtered.
After he finished howling, Song Jinghuan said coldly, “If you dare to spout nonsense again, I’ll cut off your tongue.”
The knife stabbed into him and blood flowed. Manager Liu knew that she was serious and did not dare to say anything else. He trembled and asked the servants to make way.
The attendant wanted to persuade Liu Jinbao to leave quickly before the officials arrived.
However, Liu Jinbao was not really stupid. At this point, how could he tell that something was wrong? He ignored his attendant and strode into the residence.
With Manager Liu in hand, the guards only dared to fall far behind. When they reached the second gate, a group of people blocked their way.
“Madam, it’s them. They kidnapped Manager Liu and want to barge into the residence.” A maidservant pointed at Song Jinghuan and Liu Jinbao.
The woman she called Madam was Song Jiayue.
Because Song Jiayue had given birth to a son, Old Master Liu valued her very much. Later on, she used the excuse that she didn’t want her son to be looked down upon by others to persuade Old Master Liu to support her. She was now the old madam of the Liu family.
However, because she was younger than Eldest Master, no one could call her Old Madam, so they called her Madam.
Song Jiayue’s gaze swept across Song Jinghuan’s face and finally stopped on Liu Jinbao’s face. Perhaps it was because a servant had reported it, but she didn’t recognize him until a long time later.
“Liu Jinbao, what are you doing?” She looked disgusted.
For the sake of Old Master Liu, Liu Jinbao cupped his hands and said,
“Grandfather is seriously ill. I…”
“What grandfather? Your grandfather isn’t here. You have nothing to do with our Liu family anymore.” Song Jiayue interrupted him sharply. “Hurry up and let her go. Otherwise, I won’t be polite to you.”
In the past, Liu Jinbao had been spoiled by Old Master Liu and had bullied many people. However, he only bullied his classmates in the academy. When the servants didn’t do as he wished, he would scold them. As for Old Master Liu’s concubines, as long as they didn’t cause trouble in front of him, he wouldn’t care at all. Therefore, there was actually no feud between them.
However, Song Jiayue didn’t like him from the moment she saw him.
The reason was very simple. She was once the beloved daughter of the Song family, but she could not compare to Liu Jinbao at all. When the Song family was in trouble, they even treated her as a concubine without hesitation. Seeing how happy Liu Jinbao was, she was initially jealous, but later on, it was to pave the way for her son.
Now that he had returned, she was afraid that he was here to snatch her son’s assets, so she naturally wouldn’t be happy..
