Chapter 36 Everything!
The scandal surrounding Song Yu Han's mother, Lu Tingting, was something that some of the high elite families would use as a subtopic in their conversations whenever there was a time to gather around. They would laugh and make use of the words that Song Ruan's wife used to call Lu Tingting to seek favor from the Song family's madam.
No one knows if it was done by Song Yu Han or the Old master Song, however, it was enough to shut the mouths of every other person who wanted to mock young master Song and his mother.
However, that didn't mean that no one would ever mention the topic again. There still might be people who would talk about this topic secretly and in private.
Ran Xueyi sighed as she sat back down in her seat. She grabbed the bowl of popcorn and looked at the TV in front. However, her mind was swirling and thinking far.
Her new husband's life was really unfortunate. When he was young, he had to experience being thrown around after the fall of the Lu family. When he was at the age where he was able to read and write, he was taken by Old master Song back to the Song family's main mansion so everyone could recognize him as one of the heirs of the Song family. But no one really took him seriously as he was labeled as an illegitimate child and the homewrecker's child.
As for what happened to him inside the Song family... Ran Xueyi had her guess more or less. With a step-mother who indirectly killed his mother and unfeeling father, Song Yu Han's life should have been hellish.
Sighing, Ran Xueyi reached toward her phone and typed some words before pressing send
Ping! Pong!
At the other end, Song Yu Han was inside his study listening to the reports of his special assistant about some business matters when his phone chimed.
Special Assistant Guo paused and thought he was hearing things. Did he forget to put his phone on silent mode before meeting his boss?

Just as Special Assistant Guo was about to lose his mind in worry and wanted to pull his phone out from his pocket to turn it off when he saw the man sitting behind the large office desk in front picking up his phone.
Special Assistant Guo: ...
Song Yu Han didn't seem to notice the weird expression on the special assistant's face as he looked down to read the message.
[Snowrabbit: I will be out of reach for a few days so if you have something to say to me, just wait for me to come back to talk. Take care of your health and rest when you have time. =3= ]
Song Yu Han read the message three times. His lips twitched and the corner of it was slightly raised before it disappeared quickly.
How long has it been since someone told him to take care of his health and rest. Ever since he started working and building a name for himself, everyone around him became cautious, wary, and afraid of him as though he was a plague they couldn't contain and afford to offend.
Even those he considered as his friends couldn't not hide their fear of him. And maybe, he was already too used to their expression and how they see him that he no longer cared about the opinion of other people.
It was normal for humans to fear the strong and bully the weak. This was just part of human nature. No one could blame anyone for fearing him or blame him for being at the top of the food chain.
"S... sir, should I come back later?" As someone who worked closely with his boss, Special Assistant Guo would always notice the shift in his boss' mood and attitude. Just like now when his boss openly looked at his phone when they were in the middle of a discussion that was worth half a billion dollars yet, he didn't look down coldly but also lifted his lips into a slight smile.
Song Yu Han shook his head and said, "No need. Continue."
He might say so, but his boss was still looking at his phone and even tapped his long fingers on the screen.
Special Assistant Guo: ...
When Special Assistant Guo was done speaking until his throat was dry, he heard his boss speaking again after a long while.
Song Yu Han: "Assistant Guo, you must have had many girlfriends in the past."
Special Assistant Guo, who expected his boss to ask him about the business proposal: "... No, sir.... I only had three girlfriends before I went to the military and worked for you."
"So, you had one before."
Special Assistant Guo: "...Yes, sir."
A long pause.
Another pause.
And another.
Special Assistant Guo stood on his toes and waited for several minutes. When he thought Song Yu Han no longer had anything to ask him, he saw his boss pick up a magazine and turn the pages and stop at a women's apparel and jewelry from a luxury brand.
"What do you think about this?" asked Song Yu Han.
Special Assistant Guo scrutinized the page, not getting the craze over these products that women would kill for and said, "It looks cute, sir."
"Buy it."
The assistant froze and raised his head up in shock. "Whi...which one sir?"
"Everything in this magazine."
