The Villain's Mother

Chapter 195 – Old Li’s sister tried to commit suicide (2)

After waiting for Assistant Chen to leave the office, Song Tingshen picked up his phone. He wasn’t concerned about Li Jing, but now that something seemed to have happened he thought about calling. In the end, he didn’t make the call to Li Yuanhang. He decided to pretend that he didn’t know anything. He believed that Li Yuanhang would be able to handle it.

Song Tingshen didn’t want to pay attention to this matter, but he received a call from another friend that afternoon.

As soon as he answered the call, he heard his friend, Yang Chao, say, “Old Song, something serious happened in Old Li’s family. You know how my wife’s relationship with Old Li’s wife is pretty good? She heard from her that Old Li’s sister tried to commit suicide.”

Stunned, Song Tingshen asked, “What?”

Yang Chao sighed. “I was very shocked too when I heard it. But Old Li seems to want to keep this matter private. After all, it wouldn’t be good to spread this matter. His younger sister swallowed sleeping pills. Fortunately, she didn’t eat too much and she was saved after they pumped her stomach. She was clearly very cheerful and lively the last time I saw her. She’s so young. Why couldn’t she think things through? Ay, what a mess. When I was her age, I didn’t have time to think about anything other than work. Old Song, do you think we should pay her a visit?”

Song Tingshen was silent for a moment before answering, “No need. Since Old Li doesn’t want to make this public, he definitely doesn’t want us to know either. He can handle this matter by himself.”

“You’re right.” Yang Chao sighed. “Fortunately, she’s okay. Otherwise...”

Yeah, fortunately, she’s okay.

However, Song Tingshen anticipated that after this incident with Li Jing, his friendship with Li Yuanhang won’t be the same as before.

That evening, Ruan Xia could sense that Song Tingshen was unusually quiet. Could there be a problem with work? That didn’t seem likely. Then was it an issue in his personal life?

However, after carefully thinking about it, Song Tingshen didn’t seem to have a social life outside this small family.

Out of concern for Song Tingshen, Ruan Xia made a cup of hot milk from milk powder and went to his study with it. It was rare to see Song Tingshen being lost in thought. He didn’t come out of his stupor until she called his name.

Ruan Xia put the cup down on his desk and couldn’t resist the temptation of asking him, “Is there a problem at work? You seem absent-minded ever since you came home from work.”

Song Tingshen shook his head. “No.”

“What is then?” Ruan Xia warmly said, “Although I might not be able to give you any ideas, you might feel better after you share what’s bothering you. It’s not good to keep things bottled up.”

Hearing these words from Ruan Xia, Song Tingshen fell silent. Ruan Xia very patiently waited for him to speak.

A while later, Song Tingshen finally slowly said, “Do you remember that my company has an employee named Li Jing? You once answered a call from her when I came home drunk that time.”

Ruan Xia looked through her memory and immediately remembered this character. “Li Yuanhang’s younger sister?”

She still had a slight impression of that woman. That woman had a crush on Song Tingshen and had called Song Tingshen’s phone with the intention of causing a misunderstanding. At that time, Song Tingshen and her were two people that lived separate lives. She didn’t take that person to heart at all.

Song Tingshen had a hard time bringing up this matter.

Seeing that he looked as if he was put on the spot, Ruan Xia took the initiative to say, “If I didn’t guess wrong, she likes you. So you’re feeling troubled because of something she did?”

Ruan Xia believed that based on Song Tingshen’s moral character, he definitely wouldn’t have an affair with Li Jing, which meant that Li Jing must have done something that troubled Song Tingshen.
