Chapter 357: Chapter 357: Lying in Wait to Catch Him
Huo Junting saw her fall silent and asked again, "Do you really want to end your marriage with Xiao Jinghuai? Once it’s completely over, you won’t have any more intersections. He’ll live his life, and you’ll live yours. If you regret it later and want to reconcile, it might be difficult."
"Have you really thought it through?"
Song Song suddenly felt extremely agitated, biting her lip for a while before saying, "Big brother, I’ve been in Hong Kong for so long, and he hasn’t contacted me once. Doesn’t that say something?"
"I admit I haven’t thought it through yet, but this marriage must end. It’ll be better for both him and me. Don’t try to persuade me anymore. Tomorrow morning, I’ll pack my things and head back to Qingcheng City. I’ll settle everything on Saturday and Sunday, and return on Monday morning."
"..."
Huo Junting suddenly chuckled, "Song Song, are you sure you’re not doing this to see him?"
Song Song was momentarily dumbfounded, "Of...of course not. How could I want to see him? Absolutely not. I’m going to gather evidence so the divorce can go faster."
"Xiao Ran doesn’t need to work so hard either."
Xiao Ran was the top lawyer Huo Junting had introduced to her. He was humble and courteous, and highly capable, but he was just one person while Xiao Jinghuai’s side had an entire legal team. So, the divorce proceedings were progressing quite slowly.
Huo Junting pondered for a moment and then said, "Then go see Aunt Xue tonight and let her know."
Song Song hesitated a bit, "Tonight? I’m afraid to go to the cemetery alone so late. Can I do it after I return from Qingcheng City?"
Regarding her mother’s passing, Song Song couldn’t stop crying when watching the video, but otherwise, she didn’t feel much pain...
She always vaguely felt her mother was still around, just that she couldn’t see or touch her.
Huo Junting thought for a bit, "Alright, do as you wish."
Song Song beamed, "Then I won’t bother you, big brother, I’ll go now. Bye!"
Before leaving through the study door, she suddenly turned back and said, "I’ll bring back some specialties from Qingcheng City for you to give to your little girlfriend. Hehe!"
"Thanks..."
Huo Junting’s eyes dimmed. His little girlfriend?
He found her increasingly unrecognizable.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to tell Song Song that her provisional study at Nandao University would last only six months...
There were still two and a half months left until then, and she would have to return to Qingcheng City to continue teaching.
Forget it. Since it’s not urgent, it’s not too late to tell her when she gets back.
...
On Saturday, Song Song took an early flight to Qingcheng City.
When she got off the plane, she turned on her phone, and the time displayed was exactly ten o’clock.
She frowned slightly, finding this time awkward. She couldn’t go to the old house to catch anyone, so she’d have to go to his company...
After hesitating for a while, Song Song decided to stake out at his company.
Catching someone in an affair requires an element of surprise. If you start too overtly, the plan is bound to fail.
So upon arriving at the Xiao Family, Song Song didn’t go in but wandered around outside, lying in wait.
After a long wait, Song Song still hadn’t seen any sign of Xiao Jinghuai when she suddenly spotted Xing Quan driving back.
Her eyes lit up instantly, and she directly blocked his path with her body, scaring Xing Quan into braking hard, nearly giving him a heart attack.
He hurriedly got out of the car to ask, "Madam, what are you doing here?"
It was truly dangerous just now. If he had braked a moment later, he would have run into her.
Song Song was not scared at all and asked with a playful smile, "Where’s your President Xiao?"
