The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 732 - 202: The Strange Man in Black Entering the Villa_2

Although Song Feng was only in his forties or fifties, the position of general manager in the company was ultimately not a family member. The old Mrs. Song never really trusted outsiders, always worrying that others would compete for the family property, so she was always cautious. Just as Song Xi graduated from college, the old Mrs. Song thought of arranging for her to enter the company, then gradually learn to manage the various business affairs of the company, and later to take over from her own son.

After all, she only had one son, Song Feng, and the mothers of Song Qiao and Song Xi were not very impressive, each only having one daughter, and there were no other children after that.

When Song Xi first returned to the Song Family to acknowledge her ancestry, Song Qiao’s mother was still there, but the old Mrs. Song did not care whether Song Qiao’s mother agreed or not, she was the first to wholeheartedly approve of bringing her back, and then personally changed Song Xi’s surname to Song. This caused Song Qiao’s mother to increasingly dispute with Song Feng, leading to her health progressively deteriorating, collapsing at home on her last day alive. At that time, Song Qiao was at school, and Song Qiao’s mother had phoned Song Feng telling him she felt unwell, but Song Feng, being busy at work, did not return home.

This led to Song Qiao’s mother not being rescued in time and passing away.

However, Song Qiao did not know about this.

When Song Xi heard Song Qiao’s name from her grandmother’s lips, a shadow crossed her eyes, yet she still asked with some concern, "Grandma, what’s wrong? Did my sister upset you?"

Hearing Song Xi still calling Song Qiao "sister," the old Mrs. Song looked even more displeased but still responded gently to Song Xi, "Little Xi, you regard her as a sister, but she might not see you as one."

Song Xi paused, but tugged at the corners of her mouth, then obediently stood behind the old Mrs. Song, massaging her shoulders, a cunning gleam appeared in her eyes, and she smiled slightly as she spoke, "Grandma, you know, I’ve always been a good child."

"Right, right, you are a good child, Grandma certainly knows," the old Mrs. Song was so comfortably massaged she couldn’t help but want to close her eyes and enjoy.

"Then grandma, what did my sister do to you? Did she make you angry?"

"Let’s not talk about it, the more we talk, the angrier I get..." Song Xi wanted to know the details of the incident, but the old Mrs. Song didn’t intend to tell.

...

At noon, Song Qiao was in her bedroom checking her emails. Although she had taken leave, staying at home was quite dull, and she was always looking for something to do.

As she was reading an email sent internally by the company, she suddenly heard a very loud scream, which almost made her instinctively look toward the door, then realized belatedly that the scream seemed to belong to Yu Xia. Song Qiao immediately put down her laptop and hurried to the door in her slippers.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw the housekeeper, Chen Ma, who had come upstairs upon hearing the noise, frowning, she directly asked Chen Ma, "Chen Ma, what happened?"

Chen Ma also looked bewildered, shaking her head, "Madam, I also came upstairs because I heard the scream. The sound seemed like Miss Yu, could something have happened to Miss Yu?"

Chen Ma was initially downstairs preparing lunch when she suddenly heard the scream. The other servants did not know what had happened, but a few days ago, Lu Jingchen had instructed that, apart from Chen Ma and certain designated servants, others should not come upstairs, and those who could come upstairs needed a specific reason.

In the villa, besides Lu Jingchen and Song Qiao, and some people brought by Lu Jingchen and Song Qiao, like Yu Xia,

only Chen Ma among the other servants could freely come upstairs.

Having taken care of Lu Jingchen for over a decade, Chen Ma naturally could not be compared with the other servants, and even Lu Jingchen’s parents did not treat her just as a mere servant, treating her quite well.

Suddenly, Song Qiao thought of something, and without asking Chen Ma further, she immediately walked towards the study with quick steps, having a very clear feeling in her mind that something must have happened to Yu Xia in the study.

Song Qiao’s study was not very far, just a few rooms away, and she quickly arrived, with Chen Ma following behind her all the way.
