Chapter 40: Saying Bad Things About Him

Song Shengsheng was too busy thinking about how bad Fu Cheng was.

She didn’t notice that Fu Cheng had already quietly seen through her lie last night.

She thought she had pretended perfectly.

On the other hand, Fu Cheng already knew she had gone to the farm yesterday, and he was suspicious of her repeated trips there.

The information he had checked before showed that Song’s couple had never admitted to the outside world that Huo Yan was their distant relative.

They just vaguely said that he had saved their lives.

Later, when Huo Yan got into trouble, they simply pretended they had never had anything to do with him.

Fu Cheng knew that Song Shengsheng was very timid and a bit of a fair-weather friend. She would rather stay far away from anyone who would hurt her interests.

“How long did she stay there?”

“Sister-in-law stayed there for about ten minutes.” The young man who was responsible for keeping an eye on her continued, “Recently, no one has been bold enough to sneak in and deliver letters.”

Fu Cheng hummed in response.

For the past two years, both the other side and foreign countries had been persistent in their attempts.

The Huo family used to have both businessmen and politicians.

It was just that they took the wrong path and stood on the wrong side, and they all went abroad before the purge.

There were also other people from the Huo family who chose to stay in China.

Then, the times changed.

In these years, it wasn’t only them who fell from grace.

But Fu Cheng found it strange. Huo Yan and the Song family seemed to have nothing to do with each other, how could they be so coincidentally connected?

Fu Cheng thought about the five yuan Song Shengsheng had earned again.

Five yuan could buy her off.

“No need to keep an eye on her anymore. Pull the people back.”

“Yes!”

Fu Cheng had his suspicions, but she was right under his nose.

Besides, Song Shengsheng’s bad deeds were written all over her face, she couldn’t hide them. Like last night, it was so easy to see through her.

Fu Cheng decided to keep an eye on her himself.

To prevent her from sneaking around and running to that place again.

Although Song Shengsheng was hesitant and dragged her feet.

The day to go to the capital arrived in the blink of an eye.

Song Shengsheng was still struggling as they boarded the train. “We’re just leaving like this, leaving our son to be taken care of by others, isn’t that a bit bad?”

Fu Cheng grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him from the crowd. He was holding their luggage in his other hand.

“Last time you went to Yangcheng by car, didn’t you also leave your son with Aunt Wang?” After saying that, Fu Cheng led her onto the train and continued, “Don’t worry, Lu Chenyuan is reliable, and Xiaochi likes him.”

The train was crowded, the aisles were full of people.

Fu Cheng led Song Shengsheng through the narrow passageway and straight to the sleeper car. It was much quieter here.

The tickets were expensive and hard to buy.

Song Shengsheng was a bit scared when she got on the train and saw so many people. She obediently hid behind Fu Cheng.

There were all kinds of people on the train.

Fu Cheng put their luggage away first, then found her an empty seat. “Sit down first, I’ll make the bed.”

Fu Cheng changed the bed sheets and pillowcases, leaving the upper bunk for her.

He would sleep on the bottom bunk, so he could protect her if anything happened.

Song Shengsheng was very obedient at the moment, she did whatever he asked, afraid that Fu Cheng would leave her on the train.

Fu Cheng had bought a train that left in the evening.

They would arrive in the capital at noon the next day, they could sleep all the way there.

The sky outside the window was already dark.

Song Shengsheng didn’t dare to go to the upper bunk for a long time. She was sitting on his bed, and after traveling for a while, she was already a bit hungry.

A young couple was sitting opposite them, they also had a child with them, they looked like they were going to visit relatives.

The man was big and strong, the woman was holding the child, feeding her freshly brewed rice porridge.

The woman’s eyes were red, as if she had just cried.

The child in her arms couldn’t stop crying. The man was impatient. “Cry, cry, cry! All you do is cry!”

The woman wiped away her tears. “She’s still young, how can she not cry? She’ll be fine when she’s full.”

The man looked at his daughter in her arms with cold eyes, his expression hateful. “A money-losing item, why are you even feeding her?”

The woman turned her back and stopped talking.

In fact, when her daughter was just born, her husband wanted to drown her or sell her.

She hadn’t even finished her confinement period, and she knelt on the ground begging him.

She begged him desperately, but it was no use. Later, she picked up a knife and said she was going to report it to the police, and only then did she manage to keep her daughter.

Song Shengsheng looked at this scene and felt sorry for her.

She rummaged through her bag and took out the peach she had packed this morning, and handed her one. “Here, eat this.”

The woman looked at her gratefully. “Thank you.”

Song Shengsheng looked at the little girl in her arms, her pink and white skin, her round eyes, she was clearly very beautiful.

But her father disliked her for not being a boy.

Song Shengsheng politely asked, “Can I touch her face?”

The woman nodded. “You can.”

Song Shengsheng then asked, “What’s her name?”

The woman rarely met someone who liked her daughter, and the gloom in her heart was lifted. She smiled. “Her name is Lili.”

“Lili? What a cute name.”

Song Shengsheng felt a little regretful. She didn’t bring any milk powder with her when she left. It seemed like the child was starving.

Fu Cheng brought some hot water over and saw her squatting in front of the other woman, teasing the little girl in her arms.

She was smiling with her eyes curved, and her eyes and eyebrows were filled with a radiant glow.

Fu Cheng also bought a few meat buns and gave them to her. “Eat something first.”

Song Shengsheng gave one to the woman in the opposite bunk, and the woman thanked her repeatedly.

The woman looked at her with envy. The little girl’s partner was handsome, with a good figure, he was busy up and down the train, never stopping for a moment.

And he was willing to spend money.

Things on the train were not cheap at all.

Her husband, when he heard her stomach rumbling with hunger, wasn’t willing to spend a penny on her.

Song Shengsheng finished her bun and drank some hot water.

It was time for the lights to be turned off on the train.

Song Shengsheng grabbed Fu Cheng’s arm, tightening her grip. She said softly, “Fu Cheng, how about we just squeeze together on the lower bunk?”

Fu Cheng glanced at her hand, he didn’t push her away. “You sleep on the top bunk.”

Song Shengsheng was cowardly. “I’m really scared, what if someone climbs onto my bed?”

Fu Cheng said, “No, I’ll guard below.”

Song Shengsheng pretended not to hear, she let go of him, quickly climbed onto the narrow upper bunk, and curled up on the side against the wall.

Fu Cheng was about to pull her out, but she grabbed his wrist.

She looked up at him, her eyes wide with longing. “I want to sleep with you.”

Song Shengsheng wouldn’t let go. The night was dark, and the surroundings were quiet. Every move they made could be heard clearly.

Fu Cheng took a deep breath, and the next second, he got on the bed.

The bed was really small, Song Shengsheng was practically sleeping on him. She obediently lay on his chest, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

Fu Cheng couldn’t sleep all night, he was struggling to endure.

If Song Shengsheng wasn’t so clueless, he would think she was deliberately retaliating against him.

Actually, Song Shengsheng didn’t sleep well either.

She didn’t know what triggered it, but she had another dream.

In the dream, Song Shengsheng rejected Fu Cheng, who had come all the way to Hong Kong, and her ten-month-old baby was soon born.

It was a little boy who was very handsome from birth.
