Domination of the Aristocratic Dynasty After a Body Swap with the CEO

Chapter 203

When Granny Song came out of the study, she waited outside with some worry. Probably because she had heard their loud argument, she asked with knitted brows showing concern: “Why did you argue with your grandfather? Did the old man make things difficult for you again?”

Zhong Ruanxing smiled and shook her head: “No, Granny. The company still has things to do, so I’m leaving first.”

Granny Song's eyes revealed some sadness, but she didn't say much: “Go ahead, pay more attention to your health, and eat on time.”

Zhong Ruanxing nodded and bid farewell to Granny Song before leaving. Not until her grandson's figure disappeared at the door, did Granny Song take a deep breath, then went in with a stern face and pushed open the door of the study. She had originally wanted to vent her belly of anger at the old man and question him about how he bullied her grandson, but when she saw him in that state, the old lady couldn't care less.

"Old man?! What's wrong with you? Don't scare me! Ah Jing! Ah Jing! Call the doctor quickly!"

...

Although Zou Wang conducted the investigation very covertly, just as Song JinXing said, when real clues emerged, it was easy to expose the whereabouts. Since the old man knew today, the murderer may have known too.

Zhong Ruanxing immediately arranged four bodyguards for herself. Every time she went in and out, even when going to the toilet, the bodyguards stood guard outside. For a while, Song Group employees speculated that Miss Song must have provoked some big trouble recently, to be so cautious.

Since the last confrontation with the old man at the old house, the old man hadn't called her again.

Zhong Ruanxing wasn’t sure if he had evidence in hand. She had said those words just to provoke him at that time. It would be perfect if the old man handed over the evidence in irritation. But after all, he was the founder of Song Group, he could still keep his cool at that point. But judging by his reaction at that time, Zhong Ruanxing knew she had guessed right, he did have evidence in hand.

Should she sneak into the old house one day to rummage through it? She remembered the old man had a safe in his study.

The darkened Xingxing thought so.

Whether it was the deterrence of the four bodyguards, Zhong Ruanxing's life was calm and undisturbed, and no danger approached her. By the end of summer, the crew of “Letter to You” finally wrapped up filming.

This time, Song JinXing stayed in the crew for almost five months. It goes without saying how high the shooting quality of “Letter to You” must be, given such a long shooting cycle.

Zhong Ruanxing had originally planned to go to the airport to pick up her boyfriend, but seeing that her super fans were organizing a welcoming event, she had to give up on that idea.

This welcoming event was organized by the fan club, with many people but in good order. Although Song JinXing knew about this in advance, when he really saw the sea of people after getting off the plane, he was still somewhat shocked. And once again had a new understanding of Zhong Ruanxing’s popularity now.

The car drove all the way to Four Seasons Cloud Top. After changing the agency, the “Zhong Ruanxing” team's various configurations were now top-notch. Erting finally got to sit in the Ford E350 she had longed for before. Apart from that, the driver, assistant, bodyguards, styling team were all top-of-the-line, and now she had the entourage of a popular female star when going out.

This was also because Song JinXing didn't want to be too flashy and stopped Song Shuling from cramming more people in.

He had been filming “Letter to You” for too long this time. Plus, Song Shuling wanted to create more time for her brother and sister-in-law to get along undisturbed and develop feelings, so that their feelings wouldn't fade due to long-term separation. Then who would she side with, her brother or sister-in-law? So she generously gave Song JinXing a long vacation.

During this period, he only needed to go live and endorse products to maintain a certain exposure rate. Large projects like variety shows and movies could be postponed for the time being. It would be even better if he could get the certificate with his sister-in-law during this time!

Song JinXing didn't know how much his sister cared about his relationship. Looking through the car window at the high-end community ahead, a shallow smile appeared in his eyes.

When he bought this house before, it was just to give him and the swapped person a private space to communicate without disturbance. But he didn't expect it to become his home in the end.

Going upstairs, even his mood became somewhat expectant.

He had called two days in advance, so Zhong's father had taken time off work early to wait for his daughter at home today. After entering the password, the door opened, but the little Zhong Lowu who would usually wait at the door and hang on his legs the moment he came back didn't appear.

Song JinXing closed the door with his luggage, changed into the brand new slippers at the door, and had just walked out of the porch when streamers burst out from both sides of the wall. The people hiding behind jumped out, Zhong Ruanxing was still holding a bouquet, her face full of smile: “Surprise! Welcome home!”

Zhong's father and Zhong Lowu were also holding streamer tubes, still frantically spewing out streamers.

There was also a cake on the coffee table to celebrate the wrap and welcome him home, which Zhong Ruanxing and her dad made together.

Zhong's dad had even specially ordered top-grade crabs from the procurement department of the hotel he worked at, and cooked several crab feasts in different cuisines. After Song JinXing took a simple shower and changed his clothes, the family sat around happily, eating cake and peeling crabs.

The house was noisy and lively. The previously bleak Four Seasons Cloud Top was now redecorated with traces of home. Such a simple, ordinary and warm life was the most precious treasure he wanted in his life, and he would also spend his whole life protecting this treasure.

After Song JinXing returned, Zhong Ruanxing’s domineering CEO life suddenly became much more relaxing. With the real domineering CEO taking over work, she could finally slack off!

When Granny Song learned that her grandson’s daughter-in-law had returned to Beijing after wrapping up filming, she called to discuss meeting between the two families. But it was pushed away by them both for being too busy with work. Song JinXing did take time to see Granny Song, but Song Grandpa didn't show up.

Granny Song didn't know what had happened between her husband and grandson, but she also keenly sensed something was wrong. While her daughter-in-law was having tea downstairs, she went upstairs to call the old man, wanting him to reconcile with their grandson through the daughter-in-law. She didn't expect the old man to hide even further away, unwilling to even open the door.

Granny Song felt a little uneasy, and had an ominous feeling that something big was about to happen in this family that had been calm for over twenty years.

When the leaves on the street turned yellow in the autumn wind, Zhong Ruanxing finally received news from Zou Wang, who had disappeared for months.

"I found the key witness from back then. He said he has a photocopy of the autopsy report. But he's only willing to hand it over after meeting you."

Zhong Ruanxing turned on the speakerphone and looked at Song JinXing across from her. The two looked at each other solemnly, some emotion flashing across. After a long pause, Song JinXing nodded lightly.

Zhong Ruanxing spoke calmly: “Please help me arrange a time and place with him.”
