CHAPTER 1157: CHAPTER 1158 THE UNWELCOME TRUE DAUGHTER 101

Zhang Yu was also in Harbor City at this moment, talking to Doctor Song about Song Qian’s situation.

Long ago, Zhang Yu had known that Song Qian had gotten into contraband substances, and the other party hoped she could cover the costs of purchasing them.

After becoming addicted, Song Qian, despite cursing the other person vehemently, could not leave the person who provided her money for these substances and remained with them.

The jewelry on Song Qian’s hands slowly turned into contraband substances, and the two of them could be said to have lived quite a good life for a while.

When all her jewelry was sold off, and the money thrown in did not even make a splash, she realized she had been deceived.

She wanted to go to the agency to settle accounts, demanding compensation, but how could those in this line of work be unprepared?

The investment contract she signed back then clearly stated that she would bear the risks.

Song Qian consulted several lawyers and, only after spending all her money, realized there was no way to get back the money she had invested, leaving her completely dumbfounded.

The two, now penniless, put on quite a show, becoming very irritable and accusing each other of deceit.

They smashed up the house to the point that it would make any landlord faint, and the result was that they were kicked out by the landlord.

As for paying compensation, neither Song Qian nor her ex-boyfriend had a penny to offer, both being completely broke.

The landlord sued both of them, but apart from negatively impacting their credit scores, it achieved nothing else.

Song Qian later disappeared, and Zhang Yu had no one to continue following her.

Once someone becomes addicted, quitting is truly not an easy task unless one possesses incredible self-control.

Did Song Qian have self-control? Zhang Yu didn’t think she had such a thing; if she did, she should have quit when she first became addicted.

Zhang Yu always thought she would never learn any news about Song Qian in this lifetime, yet unexpectedly, she did get news.

But it was news of her death. How did she find out? It was through Song Qian’s friends or rather her drug buddies, who published posts online mourning her death.

Originally, Zhang Yu wasn’t aware of this matter; she seldom paid attention to such things since they were not significant.

But it was hard to ignore when someone online @-ed her, along with Song Shijian and the others.

Zhang Yu went online to find out about it, but a few days had already passed, and, of course, the keen-sensed media had directly gone to interview the people involved.

Zhang Yu watched the entire interview, recalling forgotten past events. The once prominent Song Family, now fallen from grace, unexpectedly reentered the public eye in such a manner.

If Zhang Yu had a choice, she would rather not have found out this way, "Knowing she got into this stuff, she was more or less finished."

"It’s unexpected that after successfully quitting, unfortunately..." Zhang Yu didn’t expect Song Qian really managed to quit successfully.

"It’s a pity every time she encountered the wrong people." Each person pushed Song Qian into the abyss.

Especially her last partner in life, who not only dragged her back to hell but also turned what was known about Song Qian’s past into a bargaining chip for profit.

Song Dafa, although not directly involved, was aware of certain things.

"Should I..." Song Dafa was very angry at how the other party spoke ill of Zhang Yu online.

Zhang Yu smiled while watching the other party’s interview, her face beaming with smiles, "A rather good interview."

"Let him say whatever; I don’t mind."

"If I respond, his popularity will rise, and he’ll be able to make money."

Zhang Yu expressed that she would never send money to the other party, and the money earned by the other party now is simply compensation for informing her about Song Qian’s tragic life.

Be it Song Qian or Song Ziming, none of them had a good life.

As for back in the day, when the Song Shijian and Tang Fu couple was deeply in love, their relationship wasn’t as good as in the past.

Zhang Yu knew Song Shijian had a woman outside and had a daughter out of wedlock, whom he treated very well.

He invested heavily in this daughter, who seemed to have grown up beautifully, with many talents, sending her overseas to study a few years ago.

Because of this, Tang Fu had quite a dispute with Song Shijian, but unfortunately, the result was that the latter went abroad as a student-parent companion.

To punish Tang Fu, he directly cut off her living expenses for a few months. Tang Fu, used to living a lavish lifestyle and never having earned a penny in her life, spent money quite lavishly.

If Song Ziming were still an IT CEO, he would have boldly proclaimed himself as Tang Fu’s backing, but unfortunately, he was now living an ordinary life, struggling to care for himself, let alone supporting Tang Fu.

With no one to rely on, Tang Fu had to endure for living expenses.

The news of Song Qian hitting the hot search was actually due to Zhang Yu’s connection.

Otherwise, given the so-called former Wealthy Family Song’s reputation, few would care.

With Zhang Yu not responding at all, the news gradually subsided.

Song Shijian learned of Song Qian’s death when he was taking his younger daughter to a school interview and was only slightly surprised by the news.

Then there was nothing more, and he continued visiting the school with his daughter, as Song Qian had long been abandoned by him.

Upon knowing she had gotten into things she shouldn’t have, Song Shijian had already predicted her death.

Only, he didn’t expect her to last until now.

When Song Ziming learned of Song Qian’s death, there was a slight surprise, then nothing more.

As for Fu Jie, that former fiancé, he showed no reaction at all.

After learning of Song Qian’s death, Zhang Yu’s mindset changed—previously, she had been a career woman frequently flying for business negotiations.

Even after becoming a mother, although her pace slightly slowed, she continued working hard to earn money.

Now she seemed to have entered early retirement, enjoying tea in the morning, exercising, and spending time with her children.

Fu Jie, worried if Zhang Yu had met with any trouble, flew over specially, and upon learning Zhang Yu was just tired, he was greatly relieved.

"Let’s take some time to travel together," Fu Jie suggested.

Zhang Yu looked at Fu Jie, who was always by her side, "You know I won’t give you any promises."

"I’ve never thought about marriage."

"No worries." For Fu Jie, just being by Zhang Yu’s side was enough.

"Alright." Suddenly, Zhang Yu found the idea of spending the last phase of her life with Fu Jie not too bad.

Though they had traveled globally, visiting many places and holiday resorts during vacations...

When it came to truly relaxing properly on a vacation, they felt somewhat clueless about where to start.

After a discussion, they settled on a destination for their trip, arranged everything accordingly, and began their journey around the world.

Song Ziming sat alone in a house so quiet it drove one mad, and a long sigh escaped him upon knowing the news.

"They are a pair."

"Out of the whole world, I’m the most unfortunate." Song Ziming toasted to himself.

The wife and son were doing well abroad, and Song Shijian was having a good time abroad with that mother and daughter.

Even Tang Fu, who stayed in the country, began a new phase in life—though still Lady Song, she didn’t mind stepping out with her young boyfriend.

Clearly, he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, holding a winning hand, yet it all ended up like this.

In his unhappiness, Song Ziming drank continuously, not knowing just how much he had drunk; when the house cleaner came to tidy up, all that was left was a lifeless body.

Drunk, Song Ziming choked on his own vomit.
