Today was the premiere of the movie โThe Inn At The End of The Worldโ, which the agency had heavily invested into. Qiu Mingyan, the heroine, was Song Zichengโs longstanding lover. So, in public and in private, he had to flatter her. However, his assistant reminded him that today was the day that Song Xiao was going to be discharged.
Song Zicheng felt awkward.
This child had been reclusive since his childhood, and would neither cry nor laugh. The doctor said he had mild autism, and an inability to express feelings.ย
As the head of an entertainment agency, Song Zicheng often appeared under the spotlight. Heโs unwilling to let people know that his child had a defect, so he always treated him as a normal child, and had never sent him to a special school.
If he went to pick up his child and disregarded the premiere, it would likely attract paparazzi. He heard that Song Xiao had lost his memory, so he reckoned that he became even stranger than before. If he was spotted by the media, he would be ruined.
Therefore, Song Zicheng chose to stay at the premiere. After cutting the ribbons, he sat down and watched the movie. Qiu Mingyan sat beside him and whispered, โI heard that Xiaoxiao will be discharged today, if you donโt go, that child will probably be sad.โ
So, under Qiu Mingyanโs persuasion, Song Zicheng took advantage of the screeningโs darkness to walk out of the cinema, stealthily heading to the hospital.ย
This time, Song Xiao had been injured, and many media outlets had been paying attention, waiting to dig out a scandal, so he decided to make a gesture of goodwill, letting Song Xiao know that dad went to pick him up. As for whether he arrived in time, that was unimportant.
In Song Zichengโs view, Song Xiao had never been close to him, to the point that he didnโt regard him as a father. This child looked at him the same way he looked at thin air. Heโd never thought that Song Xiao would say this.
โXiaoxiaoโฆโฆโ Song Zicheng looked within the room at the youth who had a firm gaze and lively expression. He could barely believe his eyes.
Song Xiao raised his head to see a forty year old man standing by the door. Even though his hair was cut short and his clothes were entirely different, he nevertheless still recognized that face.
โFather!โ
Aunt Chen pulled Song Xiao back in surprise. โXiaoxiao, do you recognize him?โ
Song Xiao blinked, and then remembered he was supposed to have amnesia. But this man looked too similar with the father of his past life, that he almost went up to make salutations.
Seeing Aunt Chenโs reaction, he was definitely his father in this life, so he pretended to be unsure, saying, โDid Iโฆ recognize wrong?โ
โYes, youโre right! Youโre right!โ Song Zicheng knew that Song Xiao had lost his memory and could only remember his own name. He never thought that this child would surprisingly remember him, this dad. Suddenly he felt a bit moved, walking over and holding Song Xiaoโs hand.
Now itโs Song Xiaoโs turn to be stunned. The father from his past life was a pedantic scholar, he had mixed within the official circles for half his life before he managed to become a vice magistrate. He had also been very strict with Song Xiao, never once had he held him even when he was a child, let alone pulling his hand at such a big age.

Feeling his sonโs stiffness, Song Zicheng felt a bit embarrassed.

Song Zicheng raised the corner of his lip and turned to ask Aunt Chen, โWhy does this child talk so strangely?โ
โAi, since he had amnesia, heโs been reading historical books for two days straight, so now his manner of speaking is rather bookish,โ Aunt Chen explained with a laugh.
Li Weiwei looked at this picture of benevolent father, filial son, and couldnโt resist twitching his lips, โThen, President Song, since you came, then I will return first.โ
Only then did Song Zicheng remember that he had originally requested Li Weiwei to fetch Song Xiao. He coughed and said, โYou all can leave first, Iโll go meet the doctor.โ
In the corridor, Song Zichengโs secretary was holding the discharge report while chatting with the doctor. Upon seeing his boss, he then passed the discharge report over.
โThe doctor said Song Xiao lost his memory, but his reclusive tendencies have taken a turn for the better and can now converse with people normally. Even his intelligence has no problems anymore.”
โNo problems with his intelligence?โ Song Zicheng was a little astonished.ย
Before, his child wasnโt intelligent, and his academic performance was very poor. He had just graduated from middle school and failed to pass even an ordinary high school entrance examination. He had long given up hope.
The chubby nurse who was passing by immediately became unhappy. How could this man be a father? Could it be that he was hoping for the childโs intelligence to drop to negative levels? She couldnโt help but open her mouth, saying, โHow could you say it in that manner? For your child to have no problems with his mind, youโre unsatisfied?โ
โNo, noโฆโ Song Zicheng quickly waved his hands.
โWe only did a simple test. Presently, it seems that the patient has no problems with his IQ, and itโs even higher than most people.โ The doctor pushed up his glasses and didnโt bother resolving the misunderstanding of the nurse. He was also rather disapproving of this sort of father.ย
His son had stayed at the hospital for so long, yet he never even bothered coming to visit, yet now that he heard that his IQ recovered, he began to care.
Song Xiao walked out with Aunt Chen. This was the first time he had walked out of the hospital. He looked curiously at the black metal box stopped in front of the entrance.
โThis is your familyโs car.โ Li Weiwei walked over to open the car door, but suddenly yelled โwhoa!โ in surprise and jumped up, scaring the woman in the car.
โDavid, I see youโre still just as lively as ever.โ The lady dressed to the nines and wearing full makeup came down, smoothing her sparkly short skirt while speaking.
Song Xiao looked at that woman and raised a brow. Within the split-second the woman came down, he clearly saw the loathing and forbearance in her eyes. If he hadnโt guessed wrongly, this woman was the mistress whom his father personally kept. Qiu Mingyan, the darling of their familyโs theatrical troupe and famous across the whole of China.
โWhy did Mingyan jie come?โ Li Weiwei gave an insincere smile and looked around. Sure enough, not far from them was a paparazziโs car. This woman definitely did it on purpose, bringing the reporter to witness Song Xiao making a fool of himself.
โAll right, get in the car,โ Song Zicheng stepped out of the hospital and pointed at the car before him, letting Song Xiao in first.
โSheโs following us home?โ Song Xiao was referring to the woman leaning against the car door. Since she was a mistress, she could not step into the main familyโs household without justification.
Not far away, the paparazzi saw this scene and immediately became excited. Qiu Mingyan was the lover of Xinghai entertainmentโs president and had also given birth to an illegitimate daughter. This was something that everyone in the circle knew. In recent years, both of them have been going to places as a couple, and had a tacit agreement to get married.
Before this, he had never taken any photos of the Song young master. It is unknown how he felt towards this prospective stepmother. Today, it seems that he has great materials!
โThis is your Aunt Qiu. Recently, Xiao Zheng has summer vacation, so theyโre living in the familyโs household,โ Song Zicheng explained with a soft voice. Before, he didnโt think it was anything to act all loving with her, but now that his son has returned to normal, he suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
Song Xiao stood still and didnโt move, frowning at the woman who was preparing to step into the car. Even if she was visiting home, she was just a concubine. Heโs the legitimate son of the first wife, how could he share a car with a concubine? Not only was it lacking in manners, it was also an insult towards him.
Turning towards Song Zichengโs secretary, he said, โManservant, go call another car over.โ
Secretary Si Dashu was surprised.ย Unexpectedly, Song Xiao remembered his surname was Si.ย He hurriedly replied with a sound, only then did he belatedly respond, โ Thereโs another car outside, itโs Miss Qiuโs car.โ
โThen let her sit in that one,โ Song Xiao, with one hand behind him and chin slightly raised. โHow could a concubine sit with a legitimate son, it is truly too impolite.โ
When this statement came out, everyone was stunned.
After hearing this sentence, the paparazzi nearly screeched, the cameraโs shutter โclick clickโ continuously. Todayโs luck was amazing! They now had tomorrowโs headline, and also the hot topic! โSong Young Master Denounced Qiu Mingyan As A Concubine, Refusing To Sit In The Same Carโ!!!!
โYou,,,โ The smile on Qiu Mingyanโs face couldnโt be held anymore, angered to the point her face was blue. This bastard, before he had ignored her, now he suddenly called her a concubine!
โXiaoxiao, how could you speak to Aunt Qiu in that manner?โ Song Zicheng didnโt know what to do.
Song Xiao looked at Song Zicheng, puzzled.
The youth whose sickness had just begun to improve still had some paleness to his complexion. His slim face made his pair of quick-witted eyes seem bigger, the confusion and surprise within them all the more clearer.
Song Zicheng suddenly felt a little soft-hearted. His son had just lost his memory and didnโt understand anything, then proceeded to read historical books, filling his mind with the misunderstanding of the ancient timesโ culture. He sighed and told Qiu Mingyan, โGo sit in the car outside, Xiaoxiao had just recovered.โ
His implication was that his son was currently the most important, so donโt provoke his anger.
Qiu Mingyan gritted her teeth and reluctantly smiled, โ Xiaoxiao is still so stubborn, then Auntie wonโt bother you anymore.โ
She knew that Song Zicheng was biased towards his son. Even when his son was a fool, he had not been maltreated, yet even though she gave birth to a healthy and smart daughter, she could not receive recognition.
Secretly pinching a crystal studded nail, Qiu Mingyan turned and walked away.ย
Song Xiao frowned. The concubines of this time were really unbridled.
The author has something to say:
Small theater:
Fish Tang: What about me? Why havenโt I come out yet?
Little bird: Whatโs the rush?
Fish Tang: (silently draws his sword)
Little bird: Your Majesty, please spare this little oneโs life, you will immediately appear, immediately! QAQ
Someone really ought to sit down and teach Song Xiao modern speech after this. I almost died from second-hand embarrassment during that concubine part! And hopefully, our Emperor is much more knowledgeable for the sake of my heart (jk it would be funny if he was ignorant asf xD)
Thanks for the chapter! ๐
lolol, read on and you shall know ๐ thanks for reading!
Why Fish Tank tho? It’s the Emperor right?
Emperor name is Yu Tang, and Yu is fish in english (but dunno the writing, maybe one of the many meaning and one of them is fish).
hello! if you read the small translation note at the bottom of chapter one, in the small theater, the author changed the characters of Yu Tang to fish pond also pronounced as yu tang. Putting his name as fish pond would be weird, so i decided to call him fish tang.
I love this novel. Very excited to know Chrysan team picking it.
I cannot wait to read after chapter 6 LOL
I’m not really liking the romance part of Song Xiao and Yu Tang, what I’m more into is the family problematic womanizing father XD Song Xiao and his father relationship is far more interesting to read imo. It’s very ‘revenge rebirth’ theme.
thank you! I’m the translator of this novel and I’m new to the Chrysan team, so thanks for reading! I hope my work is up to standards ๐
OMG this is too funny ๐ I love watching chinese drama so I can imagine the imposing aura of legitimate son while talking to concubine and it happened in front of paparazzi LOL
Thank you for the chapter ~
Thank you for reading!
Ahahaha, concubine, I’m dying laughing here bc of SX lololol He has to learn that the time has changed and so the customs. I bet we’ll have much to laugh at in the coming chapters xD
Thx for the ch (ใ หใ ห)
yeeep, heโs a bit funny because of his ways but thatโs what makes him cute! thanks for reading!
Oh no… I’m starting to like this novel! augh! I should’ve resisted reading this atleast until there’s 20 chapters posted…

Thanks for the chapter! I’m rather ambivalent concerning that dad… I’ll put him in the grey area. But that woman so deserved the slap, I’m sure of that & I do wonder if she’s not the one behind the attack? Or maybe her kid if she inherited the viper genes?
โHow could a concubine sit with a legitimate son, it is truly too impolite.โ
I laughed so hard loooool
I just started this book but so far it has been wonderfully entertaining! Thank you for the translation~!

LMAOOOO APPLY COLD WATER TO BURNED AREA
OMG! Author this is amazing, I LOVE THIS!! Pls continue to upload more!!!!!!๐
Jesus Christ, I can only give this old man a “you barely tried” star, I bet all the effort was because of Song Xiao’s mom. I hate men like him, awful. But dear God, Xiao Xiao please read some modern books I almost died from secondhand embarrassment with your language. I have a feeling this will only continue.
I love Song Xiao!!!!!!
