Chapter 203 Extra Chapter 5: The Finale
When the woman saw Song Yanchuan get out of the car, she hurriedly walked over and reached out to help him, but Song Yanchuan refused.
If the Song brothers, Song Shiyan and Song Shiyao, still harbored some suspicions about their father based on a single intimate photo, seeing the two of them so close and oblivious to others filled them with rage, their eyes turning red with fury.
“Yingxue…” Song Yanchuan strode up to Qin Yingxue. Although he was over forty, time had not left any marks on his handsome face. Instead, after years of experience and refinement, he exuded a calm and reserved aura.
"You're back!" Qin Yingxue looked at Song Yanchuan with a smile.
Song Yanchuan subconsciously reached out and took Qin Yingxue's hand, ignoring the wide-eyed stares of his two sons beside him, and led Qin Yingxue home.
The pretty young woman wanted to follow, but Song Shiyao stopped her.
The pretty young woman then looked at the Song brothers, Song Shiyan and Song Shiyan, and greeted them with a smile: "Young Master, Second Young Master..."
"Who are you calling! This is none of your business. Go back to where you came from!"
Song Shiyao hated evil as much as he could, and the mere thought that this woman might have had an affair with his father made him want to tear her to pieces.
"Second Young Master, why are you so hostile towards me?" the woman asked, her face full of confusion.
"Don't you know who you are? This is my home, and we don't welcome you!" Song Shiyao said bluntly when he saw that the other party couldn't understand him.
Song Shiyan also stood in front of Song Shiyao, making his stance clear.
The pretty young woman looked puzzled, and was about to speak when a familiar, gentle voice came from behind her: "It's so lively at home today, eldest brother, second brother, are you waiting outside to welcome me?"
"Third brother..."
Song Shiyao saw the newcomer immediately and exclaimed with delight, "What day is it today? Big brother came back first, and you came back too."
To be honest, he hadn't seen his elusive third brother for over a year.
"Mom called me back!" Song Shiqing walked up to Song Shiyan with a slight smile on her delicate face, revealing shallow dimples, and called out, "Big brother."
"Third brother, where am I?" Song Shiyao had been waiting for Song Shiqing to call him, but after waiting for a long time, he hurriedly reminded him.
Song Shiqing showed a hint of helplessness on his face, but still obediently called out, "Second Brother."
Song Shiyan immediately beamed and replied loudly, "Yes!"
Song Shiyan and Song Shiqing exchanged a glance, their faces revealing their helplessness.
This Song Shiyao, sometimes he's just like a child.
"See this? This is our family gathering. What are you doing here, an outsider? Get out of here right now." Song Shiyao's good mood turned sour upon seeing the woman beside him. He threatened, "I don't care what your relationship is with the old man, but if you dare to make my mother sad, I'll make you wish you were dead..."
"Second Brother..." Song Shiqing looked at Song Shiyao, whose face was full of anger, and then saw that Song Shiyan was also very angry. He couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so hostile towards Aunt Hong?"
"Aunt Hong? Third brother, you actually called her Aunt Hong? Does such a shameless woman deserve it?" Song Shiyao exploded like a firecracker upon hearing Song Shiqing's words. "Third brother, I thought you were the most protective and loving towards Mother, but when it comes down to it, you're nothing special..."
"Wait, third brother, do you know her?" Song Shiyan was more rational than Song Shiyao and asked, focusing on the key point.
Song Shiqing glanced helplessly at Song Shiyao, then sighed to Song Shiyan, "Aunt Hong was hired by Mom to take care of Dad. Dad had alcohol poisoning three months ago, and by the time Mom found out, he had already been hospitalized for three days. That's when Mom asked Aunt Hong to take care of Dad."
"The old man is hospitalized for alcohol poisoning? Why didn't I know about this?" Song Shiyao was stunned for a moment, then asked excitedly.
"You were filming at the time, and my older brother was abroad. After Dad's hospitalization and observation, his vital signs returned to normal, but Mom was still worried, so she asked Aunt Hong to take good care of him. You... you wouldn't think that Dad was with Aunt Hong..."
When Song Shiqing finished speaking, seeing the regretful and guilty expressions on her two older brothers' faces, she understood everything and could only helplessly shut her mouth.
Actually, Aunt Hong is a robot; it was all arranged by Mom.
Don't assume that because of Dad's deep affection for Mom, he wouldn't even glance at other women. Even if Dad truly wronged Mom, he would be the first one to take action...
He once asked his mother why his two older brothers, even after growing up, hadn't told them that Bai Cheng and Cheng Wu, who were by their side, were robots, and that their life's responsibility was to protect their master.
In hindsight, not telling them was the right thing to do.
Perhaps they are still too young, or perhaps their concern has clouded their judgment; they are not yet mature, and their current state of mind is not up to the task.
Since it was arranged by Mom, Aunt Hong's identity is definitely not in question.
The two brothers have such a strange kind of confidence in their mother!
The misunderstanding was cleared up, and the two of them were not embarrassed. They warmly welcomed Aunt Hong into the living room.
When Qin Yingxue saw Song Shiqing return, she showed no surprise, but instead gave Song Shiyan and Song Shiyao a meaningful look.
As soon as Song Shiyan entered the living room, he saw Bai Cheng and Cheng Wu there and immediately widened his eyes in surprise.
"I came back tonight because there's something I need to tell you all..."
Qin Yingxue spoke first, and then the living room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
After a long while, Song Shiyan and Song Shiyao finally reacted, and the two brothers immediately looked at Song Shiqing.
Song Shiqing showed no shock or surprise; her delicate face remained completely still.
"Third brother, you knew all along?" the two brothers said in unison.
"I expected it when Mom first called us all home." Song Shiqing was actually still a little surprised.
He always felt that it wasn't a good time for his mother to tell them the secret.
Afterwards, Song Shiqing found Qin Yingxue and asked her the question that had been on his mind.
"Compared to other eighteen-year-olds, your eldest and second eldest brothers are quite outstanding. They might be a bit overprotective of their family members and temporarily become less astute. But when it comes to outsiders, they are still resourceful and intelligent. That's why Mom plans to reveal Bai Cheng, Cheng Wu, and Aunt Hong's identities to them at this time, because she's afraid they'll suspect them in the future, leading to uncontrollable consequences."
You've all grown up, and it's time for Mom to let go! Tomorrow I'm going to travel the world with your aunt and Aunt Yulan. You all have people protecting you, so Mom can rest assured..."
Qin Yingxue looked at Song Shiqing and smiled.
"Mom..." Song Shiqing felt uneasy after learning that Qin Yingxue had arranged all of this.
Hearing Qin Yingxue say this, she couldn't help but say, "I've finished what I was doing, I'll go with you tomorrow..."
"Qing'er..." Before Song Shiqing could finish speaking, Qin Yingxue interrupted him, "You know, Mom has many more secrets, but Mom hasn't told you yet. I won't say why for now, but you just need to know that Mom still has the ability to protect herself in this world. Over the years, I haven't had much contact with you three brothers, my purpose is to make you independent from a young age, without any dependency, so that even if Mom isn't by your side, you can be fine..."
“Mom…” Song Shiqing looked at Qin Yingxue with trepidation.
"I'm just giving an example. Over the past nineteen years, I've figured out the rules, and God won't take me away so easily. By the time Mom comes back from traveling the world, you'll all be married and have children! Then Mom will stay home and help you take care of the kids; I won't go anywhere else."
Qin Yingxue smiled at Song Shiqing.
It was originally just a joke to comfort Song Shiqing, but Song Shiqing took it seriously.
The following year, Song Shiqing returned to the Song residence with a beautiful young girl and a delicate baby in his arms.
Qin Yingxue was enjoying the Mexican scenery with Jiang Linlin when she was summoned back by a phone call from Song Yanchuan.
Upon seeing the baby girl who looked remarkably like Qing'er, Qin Yingxue was overjoyed and couldn't bring herself to say anything harsh.
Song Shiyan and Song Shiyao rushed over. They originally wanted to mock Song Shiqing for becoming a father at the age of nineteen, but when they saw their mother holding her granddaughter with such affection, the two brothers understood everything.
While mocking Song Shiqing's treacherous nature, they also searched for the best candidate to be the mother of their child.
When the year was up and the two brothers brought their children to Qin Yingxue to show off their achievements, they discovered that Song Shiqing's young wife was pregnant with their second child, her belly slightly protruding.
The two brothers were far behind and had no choice but to admit defeat.
Qin Yingxue no longer had time to travel the world, and spent her days with her hired nanny, doting on her grandchildren...
While Qin Yingxue was holding her fourth grandson, Jiang Linlin brought Li Xiangdong to visit her and took the opportunity to show off their wedding photos.
The two had known each other for most of their lives, and after many twists and turns, they finally came together.
In the third year, Jiang Linlin finally held her daughter in her arms.
She searched for famous doctors everywhere, and finally, through Qin Yingxue's introduction, she found an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor who made her eat three cartloads of bitter Chinese medicine before she gave birth to this golden baby.
In reality, Qin Yingxue couldn't bear to see Jiang Linlin drink such bitter Chinese medicine every time, so she spent a lot of money to buy the medicine from the mall and secretly gave it to her.
In the winter of 2020, Huo Shaoting lost his life in just three days because he didn't take a cold seriously.
Throughout his life, Song Shiqing was nurtured by this mentor and regarded him as both a brother and a father.
Huo Shaoting never married or had children in his life, and his property was confiscated.
While sorting through his belongings, Song Shiqing discovered a diary locked in a safe containing many messages and clues about her mother…
Song Shiqing was shocked to discover that her mentor had been suspecting her mother all along, and that several clues pointed directly to her mother's identity.
If these clues are revealed, it goes without saying what kind of criticism the mother will face and what the consequences will be.
For the first time, Song Shiqing broke out in a sweat, but by the end, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Huo Shaoting initially approached me only to understand me better and find leverage to expose my mother. I never imagined that he would ultimately let my mother go, but it was because of me...
It was the first time Song Shiqing had ever realized that his mentor, who was always so strict with him, treated him like his own son.
Huo Shaoting's passing undoubtedly weighed heavily on Qin Yingxue's heart.
Although they didn't have much contact, Huo Shaoting gave her the feeling that he could always see through her secrets.
Therefore, she kept her distance from anything or anyone related to Huo Shaoting.
After learning that Qing'er's teacher was Huo Shaoting, she moved to the suburbs alone to reduce contact with Song Yanchuan and her sons, so that if something really happened, they wouldn't be implicated.
Qin Yingxue was puzzled that Huo Shaoting never caused her any trouble until his death, but she eventually came to terms with it.
On the thirtieth birthday of Song Shiyan, Song Shiyao, and Song Shiqing, Song Yanchuan suddenly announced his early retirement.
The next day, he disappeared with Qin Yingxue. When they were contacted again half a year later, he and Qin Yingxue were living a simple life in a remote mountain forest, growing vegetables and flowers...
At this time, Song Shiyan was already the president of Yanjing Hospital.
After winning the Best Actor award at the age of 25, Song Shiyao announced his retirement from the entertainment industry and opened a martial arts class, recruiting martial arts enthusiasts from all over the country...
Song Shiqing was awarded the title of Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering at the age of thirty, and led a group of geniuses under his command to achieve one research victory after another...
And their lives were just beginning!
