Song Yansong’s birthday banquet was grand and prestigious. The attendees were all wealthy and respectable people. By six o’clock that evening, the hotel’s entrance was already filled with luxurious cars.

Song Xuanhe and Song Xuanlin stood at the entrance to greet the guests. Originally, Song Guochao had also been present, but he had left after receiving a phone call. Song Xuanlin would chat with the arriving people in his usual steady manner. He would then call for someone else to escort the guest in before casting his gaze onto the next arrival. He said to Song Xuanhe, “If you’re bored, you can go in with Wei Chen when he arrives.”

“Really?” Song Xuanhe raised a brow, but he didn’t turn to look at Song Xuanlin. He smiled at the passing people before replying to the other in a hushed voice, “What should I do if Song Guochao comes to make trouble for me?”

Song Xuanlin responded with a simple and concise sentence, “He won’t if Wei Chen is around.” VmqMWY

“Okay.” Song Xuanhe smiled as he shook hands with and greeted a middle-aged couple. “Mr. Yang, Mrs. Yang, thank you so much for coming to celebrate Grandfather’s birthday with us.”

Song Xuanlin then came forward to accept their gift and chatted with the Yang couple before having someone else lead them into the hotel. Just as the couple had moved on, Wei Chen appeared.

Song Xuanlin nodded. “Wei shao.”

Wei Chen greeted him in return. He then said to Song Xuanhe, “I hadn’t expected for you to obediently stand here and welcome guests. I thought that I’d have to look for you in this crowded banquet hall.”

Song Xuanhe curled his lips into a smile. “How could I let Wei shao search for me? My father had specifically arranged for me to wait for Wei shao. I promised Father that I would make you feel at home.”

“Father?” Wei Chen laughed, understanding what Song Xuanhe was getting at. He handed his gift over to Song Xuanlin’s personal assistant and then pointed to the banquet hall. Towards Song Xuanlin, he said, “Song da shao, can I borrow your brother to guide me around this place? I’m terrified of unfamiliar places.”

Song Xuanhe glanced at Wei Chen and saw that the other looked very composed. There was an unrestrained unruliness in those sharp, jet-black eyes of his. He didn’t seem to find his own words out-of-sorts at all. When he noticed Song Xuanhe’s gaze, he even smiled at him. He looked very relaxed.

Song Xuanlin had also been stunned by the other’s shamelessness. However, he had always been mentally strong. He had only paused for half a second before nodding calmly. “If that’s the case, indeed, you should have someone with you. Xuanhe, help familiarize Wei shao with the banquet hall. Just make sure to go to Grandpa before the banquet starts.” smVLhD

“Then, I’ll have to trouble you, ge.”

Song Xuanhe casually grabbed two glasses of champagne and handed one over to him. As they walked, he said, “Aren’t you afraid of unfamiliar surroundings? Shouldn’t you be the one thanking me for accompanying you, Wei shao?” BSj9CI

Wei Chen raised a brow and smiled. He didn’t continue with this topic. Instead, he asked, “Where’s Xiao Yuanmu?”

“You’re looking for him?” Song Xuanhe tilted his head towards Wei Chen. “I’ll give you the address. If you leave now, you can probably catch him.”

“Tsk.” Wei Chen took a sip of his champagne and grinned. “Keep on pretending.”

Song Xuanhe smiled without a word. 8vTShl

Shortly after Song Xuanhe and Wei Chen had left, Song Guochao had rushed over. He frowned upon seeing that only Song Xuanlin was there. “Where’s Song Xuanhe?”

“Wei shao has arrived, so he’s accompanying him.” Song Xuanlin took in Song Guochao’s expression and asked, “Father, is something the matter?”

“Of course there is! That brat….” Song Guochao gritted his teeth but stopped halfway through his sentence. When he saw new guests approaching, he concealed his anger and didn’t bother finishing his sentence. “I’ll stay here. You tell Song Xuanhe to wait for me in the lounge upstairs. I have something to ask him.”

Song Xuanlin calmly greeted the arriving guests. After they had left, he said, “Wei shao said that he had some business with him just now. They will probably be together tonight. If it’s nothing important, you should wait until Grandpa’s banquet is over.” 7GbXEw

“How could it not be important?” Seeing that there were no guests around, Song Guochao’s expression sank. He said, “Your cousin was beaten up. Both his legs have been broken. Do you know who did it?”

Song Xuanlin furrowed his brows. A strange light flitted through his eyes, but there was no worry in his tone. “Song Jiabao’s legs were broken by someone?”

“Not just that! He nearly lost his life too! If it hadn’t been for the person who noticed him in time, he might have frozen to death in that parking lot!”

Song Guochao’s expression was fierce as he said this. Although Song Jiabao was his nephew, Song Guochao was someone who didn’t even really care about his own sons, let alone a nephew. If anyone else had been the culprit, he would have at most just helped to investigate who had a grudge against Song Jiabao and whether it had something to do with the Song Family. He would then have acted according to that person’s identity. tUoXkx

But, the person who had beaten Song Jiabao up had unexpectedly been Song Xuanhe’s lover who he had been keeping!

It was preposterous!

A thing that couldn’t even be shown in public had actually dared to beat up a member of his Song Family! Who knew if this had been orchestrated by Song Xuanhe or if Xiao Yuanmu had decided to use his status as Song Xuanhe’s lover to intimidate Song Jiabao!?

Regardless of which it was, Song Guochao felt like his authority was being provoked. He couldn’t do anything to Song Xuanhe, but he could deal with that boyfriend of his with just a word. ws6GNy

Song Xuanlin noticed Song Guochao’s expression, but his own remained expressionless. He only reminded the other in a flat voice, “Father, there are guests.”

Song Guochao immediately broke out into a smile and chatted with the guests. After the guests had left, his expression became heavy again. This time, before Song Xuanlin could ask, he said, “The person who beat your cousin up was Xiao Yuanmu, that boyfriend Song Xuanhe has been keeping outside. Simply audacious. He doesn’t take our Song Family seriously at all. I had thought your brother was just playing with him, so I didn’t meddle. But this time, I have to teach him a lesson.”

Song Xuanlin’s expression didn’t change. He simply asked, “Father, what do you plan on doing?”

“I’ll make him understand his place, and then, make him kneel in apology to your cousin.” Song Guochao sounded like he could just see the helpless and ugly look that would be on Song Xuanhe’s face after he suppressed Xiao Yuanmu. Because of that, his tone improved. “At the very least, he needs to know his place. Even if Song Xuanhe doesn’t inherit the company, he can’t decide his own marriage. It would be good for his little boyfriend to understand that. If we were to offend his future in-laws because of his little lover, our Song Group would suffer badly.” UMZN1H

Song Xuanlin finally looked at Song Guochao when he heard this. There was a bit of doubt in his tone. “You’re saying that Xuanhe won’t inherit the company?”

Seeing that Song Xuanlin had finally shown a bit of a reaction, a feeling of pride flickered through Song Guochao’s heart. He had gone so far as to forget himself in front of his son just because he was angry over Song Jiabao’s matters. The reason he had been saying so much in front of Song Xuanlin was because of this.

Since he himself had no hopes of inheriting the company, then the company could only fall into Song Xuanlin’s hands. If it were to be handed over to Song Xuanhe, then Song Guochao’s later years would really be full of despair.

“The old man hasn’t made his decision yet, so it’s hard to say.” Song Guochao smiled and nodded at the guests, continuing to speak with Song Xuanlin in a quiet voice. “But now that this has happened with Song Jiabao, we have a chance.” FdWJwh

Song Xuanlin paused as he looked at Song Guochao, who looked like he was devising strategies on the battlefield right now. He then turned away again and said in an insipid voice, “Father, it is up to Grandpa as to who the company will go to. I don’t need any chances.” He checked the time and then continued, “Most of the guests should have already arrived. I’ll be heading in first. Father, there’s a bit of dust on your sleeve. You should wash it off before entering.”

Song Guochao, who had just been really confident, was stunned as he stared after Song Xuanlin’s back. It took him a moment to react.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Song Xuanhe had no idea as to what had just occurred between Song Guochao and Song Xuanlin. But, he still was currently shocked anyways. This was because Zhou Nan had told him that Lu Chao had died in a street race yesterday at dawn.

“Are you for real?” Song Xuanhe’s pleased expression changed as he chatted with Zhou Nan. There was a bit of doubt in his eyes. s0 Rwd

“Yes.” Zhou Nan also sighed. He thought about how, although Song Xuanhe and Lu Chao had already fallen out, they used to be close. Therefore, he said, “The Lu Family will probably release news about this tomorrow. They’ll probably start preparations for Lu Chao’s funeral then. You…Are you going to go?”

“Why would he go?” Of the three people, only Wei Chen still had on a relaxed expression as he sat on an armchair. In a casual tone, he said, “Song Er and Lu Chao are neither friends nor family. What, should he go to the funeral to join in on the liveliness?”

Song Xuanhe’s complicated emotions disappeared into the air with Wei Chen’s interruption. He glanced at Wei Chen before turning to look at Zhou Nan again. “Do you know why he went street racing?”

“Hasn’t he always had this kind of hobby?” Zhou Nan hadn’t been close to Lu Chao. He had only paid attention when someone had mentioned it, because he knew that Lu Chao and Song Xuanhe used to be close. Therefore, when he talked about it now, he was able to remain completely unaffected as a spectator. “It seems like he had gone to a highway in the mountains on the outskirts of town. Didn’t it rain really hard half a month ago? The rainfall had caused a landslide on the mountain, which had ended up blocking the road. It had only been recently cleared. Because not many people take that road, the railings haven’t been installed yet. They just closed it off with some yellow tape. Who would have expected that they would go over there to race?” A9mTM4

Wei Chen paid attention to Song Xuanhe’s expression before continuing off where Zhou Nan had stopped. “I also went to look at that highway a few days ago. Although there aren’t any railings, it still shouldn’t be a problem if you’re driving normally. They would only have fallen off the cliff if they had been doing some tricks on purpose while racing.”

Song Xuanhe turned to look at Wei Chen. When he noticed that the other’s expression didn’t change, he looked away. However, his slightly pursed lips did relax.

He knew that Wei Chen had said this because he knew about what had happened between him and Lu Chao in the past. The other didn’t want him to feel responsible.

But, Wei Chen was obviously overthinking things. Song Xuanhe was no saint. The original host had died an even more tragic death than Lu Chao had in the book. Furthermore, it was Lu Chao’s own fault. Even if Lu Chao had decided to go racing, because he had felt unhappy about Song Xuanhe bringing Lu Yue back into the Lu Family, at least it had been a decent death. Song Xuanhe already knew about Lu Chao’s secret machinations. Even if Lu Chao hadn’t died, Song Xuanhe would not have allowed him to live a good life. MHg0rU

What he had been thinking about just now was that, with Lu Chao’s death, the future would only be even harder to predict. He had to make preparations and changes now. However, there was one thing Song Xuanhe could confirm. Zhou Rong would certainly blame Lu Chao’s death on him. Furthermore, his method of revenge would be even more difficult-to-predict and intense than it had been in the book.

Therefore, the consequences of Lu Chao’s death have become an even thornier problem.

Translator's Note

Zhou Rong appeared in Ch 20. He liked Lu Chao. Added this TL note because even I had forgotten who he was LOL.

  1. Ugh, what’s the deal with the brother and the cousin? Is he in love with him or smth??? ew ew ew suddenly remembered how he punished Xuanhe over Jiabao and bleh

    Also off topic but I noticed that this book has a lot of “Found A Handsome Man” titled chapters… Handsome men indeed… Thank you for the chap!

    • huh??? no one in the family is in love w anyone else…?

      brother rn is a bit of a mysterious character because we haven’t seen for sure if he’s a good guy that cares for our MC or not, but I’m really hoping he is (and so far he seems to be, like he refused to scheme with this scum father just now). when did he ever choose jiabo over xuanhe???cousin is a scum that always wants to get in MC’s way. last chap just insulted XYM which led to XYM retaliating (severely it seems)

      • He did choose the cousin over his brother (the mc) though. It was also mentioned when the mc remembered the original’s memories about his older brother Xuanlin. It happened when they were all kids, the cousin suddenly started a fight at school with the original, and they were both punished by the teachers, but the original’s brother put the most blame on the original for disgracing the family name, refusing to listen to the original’s explanations. At the present, also, he’s been helping the cousin start a new business and make money even when he knows the cousin will only use the money to try to get revenge on his own little bro, the mc. The mc even figured out his brother Xuanlin was the one helping their cousin to make trouble for Xiao Yuanmu. I don’t remember all the details, but the older bro Xuanlin’s close dealings with the cousin have already been established, as well as the mc’s suspicions about the brother’s real intentions towards himself.
        • ohh right right that incident. but im pretty sure that was just the brother having strong expectations of MC. And if bro was helping take care of XYM, it was probably also to force MC to be better? although I really don’t remember this second part.

          in the OG story, someone took revenge for MC, and I’m pretty sure that’s the older brother who was in charge of the family then. also, pretty sure he doesn’t have close dealings at all with the cousin? they might’ve had contact, but when MC made fun of cousin and plotted to ruin cousin, brother didn’t interfere at all

          • no but xuanhe’s pov revealed that even if jiabao didn’t like him he would still butter up xuanhe before the incident. the incident was too sudden and the only other person involved was the elder brother. even xuanhe doesn’t know what made jiabao act so hostile towards him all of a sudden so xuanhe currently suspects the bro. also the bro is too involved with jiabao to be caring for his lil bro if you read carefully through all the chapters. he also seems to be aiming for the heir position. he is either using jiabao to eliminate his brother as a heir candid or he’s trying to get the position for jiabao. .. or both, lol. idk, im bad at making theories xd
          • Actually, I think the one who took revenge for the original soul was that Song Jienji or whatever her name was. It would make sense since she was in love with the original, a d that Lu Chao was in love with her, so maybe something happen there. Not sure tho

        • Didn’t the personal butler or assistant of Xuanhe said that is due to Xuanlin’s tender age? The mistake had been made because children learned from parents. Xuanlin grow up seeing Xuanhe being blamed for everything by his father. So his young mind then to find Xuanhe as the wrong one. After all, they are in elementary school, Xuanlin is still in same school meaning under 12 y.o. Even Xuanhe after being locked and punished at that time, still regarded both Xuanlin and Guochau as usual. When Xuanlin gave money to Song Jiabao after he is cut off by Guo Tao, I also don’t find problem with that. It just mention “gave” but we never know the details like is it borrowed, investment, or some sort of exchange. The status of Xuanhe can’t be usurped just by the branch’s seed mini success. Their social standing didn’t work that way. So far, I still see Xuanlin as a good brother; albeit too stoic, robotic and methodical (so maybe Song Jiabao took advantage of this). The case of Sun Jinren, translator had corrected, the mastermind is solely Song Jiabao and mistakenly used brother in Sun Jinren dialogue after being kicked by Mumu because the raw used Ge. But the next chapter author used cousin which is Song Jiabao. That incident is incited by Song Jiabao, Song Qiyi and Song Guochao. Song Xuanlin is innocent. From what I infered, Xuanlin isn’t bias against Song Jiabao nor Xuanhe. In his young age maybe yes. But right now, as a grown up he had seen the truth of Song Guochao and didn’t care much. One thing he can’t escape is what other prestigious family had which is battle of succession. He might be apprehensive towards Xuanhe before, but after he gave advice to Xuanhe, I find that is the transition, he knows he will be the one to succeed because Xuanhe simply didn’t care. And thus, he is no longer on guard against Xuanhe, as well as no longer care about Song Guochao as shown in this chapter. Xuanlin is just too much of an apathetic being.
    • Guys, remember how Jiaboa was friendly with Xuanhe till he was suddenly riled up by someone and started attacking him? What if the person who riled him up was Xuanlin? And what was Xuanlin doing when Xuanhe was locked up in the dark room as a baby for 2 days straight???

      • I actually thought Song Jiabao sudden estrangement with Song Xuanhe is just as he said “why should Xuanhe be put on higher pedestal when they shared the same great-grandparents”. I thought this is the source, meaning when young Song Jiabao used Song Yanshong’s connection to get into the same school as Song Xuanhe, he might not be prepared for the backlash of it since he is too young. They are in separated class due to “social standing”. No matter how close you are with your cousin, can you imagine living school life like that? Maybe other callous students had been constantly talking about this behind or in Song Jiabao’s presence? Maybe he is constantly mocked or bullied or ostracised by his classmates? Or someone of higher class seems him as eyesore and “talked sense” to him to steer away from Song Xuanhe? I can imagine so many scene of “society” killing the innocence of a child. That is why Song Jiabao choose to publically denounce his relationship with Song Xuanhe at school and lead to the fight. I felt that is his testament to prove his pride to either the classmates or school, that he can find his own footing. So I never associated it with Song Xuanlin playing tricks on the two. I had to say if Xuanlin indeed that wicked when is not yet 12y.o, Song Yanshong won’t be that conflicted to gave the company to him. But Song Yanshong had, and that is why I think Xuanlin isn’t.
  2. Aish problems come one after the other. And after dog foods given to us too! Hoping that everything will be okay

    Thank you for the chapter!

  3. Thanks for the note, I also forgot who Zhou Rong was xD

    I wonder if Lu Chao is really dead…

    And why is father Song worried about Jiaobao? He’s not even worried about his own sons. He’s a horrible father >.<

    I need more balance between Xuanhe and Mumu’s screentime lol

    Thanks for the chapter <3

  4. Such problematic “friends”. Sigh

    To be honest though, even though this is a novel, the way OG Song Xuanhe suffered and died sounded so surreal. It felt kind of off like it didn’t fit perfectly in line with the modern, business and power play settings. Or maybe it’s just me who have no idea of what’s goin on inside rich, powerful peoples’ closets🤔

    Yuanmu where you at? Don’t go ballistic when you learn Wei Chen’s makin some moves on Song Xuanhe~

    Where’s Song Xuanhe’s juicy details on that morning thougghhhhh (。•́︿•̀。)

    Thanks for the update! 💕

  5. I don’t know why but I’m starting to dislike SXH brother. I always find his behaviour weird and creepy. It’s like he’s deliberately making others hate SXH and trying to turn him into a good-for-nothing.

    Thx for the chapter 😘

  6. Why isn’t the cousin dead? Honestly he’s like a cockroach. Was big bro Song’s bad relationship with OG!SXH caused by the dad? It’s seems like the dad purposely bad mouthed him to Xuanlin.

    Thx for the chapter!!

  7. His father is really full of nonsense.. i think Xuanlin is also not paying attention to his father that much haha

    Thank you so much for the chapter!!!~ 🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇

  8. Song Xuanlin’s reactions to his dad’s news is really odd. That man un unfathomable. I can’t decide If he’s upset over the cousin and happy about SXH’s not inheriting the company or the opposite.

    Lu Chao is dead for real?! The only culprit I can think of is Xiao Yuanmu… But maybe that half-brother of his did it.

    Thanks for the chapter!

  9. was in the middle of studying and my friend told me there was a new chapter.. this was basically my reward and motivation to finish studying!! thank you for the translation as always <3

  10. I’m starting to get really irked at all the mystery surrounding Xuanlin… If I didn’t respect the Song mother so much, I’d say he’d started acting out from the shadows because he’d found out he can’t be the heir as he’s not the Song father’s real biological child…

  11. Xuanlin’s actions…. the only thing he’s lacking is a placard on his forehead with ”Suspicious” written on it. Good or bad intentions, he has ulterior motives. Maybe he already knows that the grandpa actually wants to give the company to Xuanhe, and he just wants to eliminate him ㄟ( ▔, ▔ )ㄏ

    Anyway. Thanks for the chapter! (。’▽’。)♡

    • Brush, spoilers. Although I kind of suspected his brother to be the one who avenged OG!SXH, I was still a little suspicious of his motives. Which means I wasn’t 100% convinced with my theory and there’s still an air of mystery around it.

      I scrolled down to the comments to see people’s reactions and not to be spoiled (since there’s already a note to not comment spoilers since the authorities of this site don’t have the means to hide them). One of the main factors that drove me into wanting to finish this novel ’til the end was SXL. And that just got ruined. Please be more mindful of what you pose and how it can affect others. So dissatisfying

  12. i can’t make up my mind about song xuanlin. he seems suspicious to me but he also has decent tendencies. still, i can’t forget how he sided with song xuanhe when song jiabao was the one at fault.
