My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy

Chapter 357: Chapter 357 We Can’t Go Back_1
Song Shixiong’s words sent a chill down my spine.

I remembered what Gu Yuanzhou had once told me: my mother’s death was related to Song Shixiong, and he had extorted a lot of money from my father.

From a young age, I had always believed that the Song Family was wealthy and that Song Shixiong was capable. My mother and I had been blessed by the grace and favor of Song Shixiong.

So, when Gu Yuanzhou told me these things, I instinctively felt he was lying, deceiving me.

I never expected that this matter would actually be true.

In order to clarify the truth, I stood here without moving, perking up my ears, listening intently.

Wu Lijuan was still crying,

“Has our Song Family ever lacked money?”

“How can you say we haven’t lacked money? That year I invested in that gold mine overseas, I ran into an uprising in Africa and nearly lost my life… All you do is cry every day, you have no idea how hard I work to make money!”

“Song Shixiong, you heartless man, for that man’s money, do you know how painfully Xianjing died? She didn’t even know how much that man loved her to the end, she always thought she was abandoned by him, you’re truly too cruel.”

“I did nothing wrong! That man was irresponsible to begin with. He already had a fiancée, yet he still messed around with my sister. That money… was compensation for ruining my sister’s reputation.”

“Don’t talk nonsense. If what you’re saying is true, why haven’t you let Ayun recognize her father all her life? Are you afraid that she’ll hate you once she knows the truth?!”

“What nonsense have I spoken? That man, he has long since married and had children, he has his own family. Wouldn’t Ayun be an inconvenience if she went to him? Isn’t she living a comfortable life in the Song Family? We’ve all been so good to her, there’s absolutely no need for her to acknowledge a thief as her father.”

“Song Shixiong, you always think you’re right! Tell me, when so much has happened to the Song Family, where did you hide?”

“I… wasn’t I kidnapped by Gu Yuanzhou?”

“You’re lying, Gu Yuanzhou has already been sentenced to death. We’ve been husband and wife for a lifetime, can’t you speak a word of truth?”

“Alright, I’ll tell you the truth. I had a premonition that Gu Yuanzhou was going to strike at me. So, I went abroad to hide for a few days. You saw it yourself later on, Gu Yuanzhou went after the Song Family. Luckily, I ran fast, otherwise, I’d be dead now.”

“Why would Gu Yuanzhou want to go after you?”

“Don’t ask, it’s annoying. Am I not alive and back? Aren’t you happy about that? Why do you keep dwelling on the past?!”

“Is it because of what you did to the Gu Family back then?! Is it?”

“Wu Lijuan, have you gone mad? Can you stop asking? What’s the use of constantly asking these questions, acting like a resentful wife all the time, how can we live this life?”

“Song Shixiong, I’ve been true-hearted with you all my life, yet you have always been secretive with me. We can’t go on like this, let’s just divorce.”

Hearing this, Wu Lijuan’s footsteps gradually headed outside. I quickly stepped aside and hid in a bedroom.

Soon, the sound of Wu Lijuan’s footsteps descended the stairs.

Hiding in a dim corner, my heart was ice-cold.

What exactly did I hear?

Based on everything Song Shixiong just said, there were at least three things I hadn’t figured out or had misunderstood about Gu Yuanzhou.

First, my mother’s death indeed had something to do with Song Shixiong.

Second, Gu Yuanzhou’s vengeance against the Song Family was due to wrongs that Song Shixiong had once done to the Gu Family.

Third, he wasn’t kidnapped by Gu Yuanzhou; instead, he deliberately fled abroad to hide.

Gu Yuanzhou had also given me answers to these three things before, but I chose not to believe them.

I didn’t believe Gu Yuanzhou!

The truth now was a harsh slap to my face.

It was at this moment that I began to seriously scrutinize Gu Yuanzhou and everything he had done. Had I really misunderstood him?

This thought was driving me a bit crazy.

This was a terrifying turning point.

Because once I started questioning, I feared that all my understanding of him would turn out to be wrong.

I don’t want to keep thinking this way.

Stop it!

After leaving the Song Family, I’ve tried hard to keep myself from thinking in that direction.

Because… this is a path of no return.

We can’t turn back anymore.

My phone rang, it was a call from Song Zexi.

At this time, the night was deep, and I was the only person on the street, wandering around like a lost soul.

Occasionally, when a Rolls-Royce passed by on the street, I would stop and gaze, not knowing what I was expecting.

I didn’t know what I was thinking either.

It took me a long time to answer the phone’s ringing.

“Hello, I’m Song Yun!”

I blurted out subconsciously.

The person on the other end didn’t realize anything was wrong and continued, “Is something wrong today? I didn’t see you at the cinema!”

“Uh, Mr. Song!”

“What’s wrong? Why are you speaking to me so formally?”

“How do you think of me as a person?”

I stood at the crossroads, looking at the traffic lights in the distance.

Still, I couldn’t control the thread of my thoughts, moving towards the direction I wanted to know.

There’s no way, I can’t master my own heart.

“Well, you are very good! When our Song Family was in trouble, it was you who helped us. You took care of my mom and me. You dealt with Gu Yuanzhou, and even, you helped us reclaim Huaxin Group and the old residence. Honestly, I’ve been really grateful to you in my heart.”

“Then, I want you to help me clarify something, can you do that for me?”

“Please speak!”

“It’s about Song Yun who once entrusted me to help her find her biological father. Anyway, since she’s no longer with us, I thought of fulfilling a last wish for her, to give her soul in heaven some solace!”

“Hmm… it is indeed a bit difficult, but I will do my best, just give me some time!”

“Alright, thank you!”

I know, some things might not work out if I’d handle them.

But if Song Zexi were to take action, the chances of success would be much higher, after all, he is Song Shixiong’s biological son, and now the only son.

After hanging up the phone, I hailed a taxi and rushed back to Xishan Residence overnight.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the car stopped, I saw that there were lights on in the house.

When I left in the morning, all the lights were turned off.

And now, all the lights were on—could someone have come in?

I picked up my keys and hurriedly opened the door.

In my heart, I had always been hoping that Ding Yinuo would return home, and the lighting of these lamps made me feel like he was already back.

After entering the house, I indeed saw some everyday items and fruits on the table.

Upon looking more carefully, it seemed like there was a man moving around in the kitchen.

I ran over excitedly.

“Anuo!!”
