Hu Xin

After going back to her house, Song Wei Ling's father called her unexpectedly. He was wondering, what's the reason why Song Wei Ling was stuck there for a long time before going home since there's a business deal that needs her presence.

When Song Wei Ling saw the person who was calling, she declined the call, but her father didn't give up and he called her another time, every time she declined the call. So, she has no choice but to pick it up even though she has no intention to answer it.

The moment she accepted the call, her father started nagging her. "SONG WEI LING!" he said in a loud voice. "Are you mad? You haven't picked up my first call. Did you know that you wasted thirty minutes of my time?"

She ignored his angry tone and said, "What do you want?"

"I'll be frank then since I'll be wasting my time on the person who doesn't care," he said. "So, when will you be back? Haven't you known that you need to attend a business meeting with Mr. Wang? Are you wasting your time on the stupid boy and ignoring our business?"

She rolled her eyes. "What do you know? I'm minding my own business so mind yours too," she replied to him. "Also, I'm not in charge of the company because you're the one who's in charge of it. You're the president and I have no responsibilities in running the company since I don't hold any position there."

"But still, you'll be the one who will manage it in the future." her father answered her.

"First of all, Grandpa doesn't force me to run the business since he cared about me while you aren't, so take care of your business and I'll handle mine." After that, she hangs up. Her grandfather didn't expect her to handle the business since he has someone in mind to handle it in the future and she knows that, but her father is still assuming that her grandpa will pass the company to her.

As for that person, she knows that it'll be her grandfather's illegitimate son who will take over the company so she's starting her own business instead of waiting for a blessing that will never come. After her work, she called Su Xiao Qin to eat some skewers.

After ordering some skewers, Su Xiao Qin asked her about what happened to her since she wouldn't dare to invite her to eat something at this busy hour. Song Wei Ling sighed and decided to tell her what her problem was.

When the skewers were ready, Su Xiao Qin munched some of them first. "So, your father wants you back for the company."

"Yes, and I want to tell him about the grandfather's will that the company won't be taken over by me." she picked up some skewers and had a bite. "But he's not in good health and I know that there's something bad will happen if I told him about that. Grandfather will kick him out of the company since he knows that he's a threat to his beloved illegitimate child from his first lover."

"Haven't your grandmother known about this before she died?"

"She knows but she doesn't want to tell it to my father, so she kept it to herself." she finished eating the first stick of the skewer. "That's also the reason why grandmother died of a heart attack. She can't defend herself because she is protecting my father. Grandfather is a crazy man, so no one dares to question him."

"Is there something I can do?"

"I'm afraid you cannot do anything about it," she said. "You just brought back the Su Group from the ashes and I don't want you to be stepped over by my grandfather. He looks like an angel at first glance but he is surely hideous as a devil."

Su Xiao Qin was quite touched by what her best friend said. "Don't worry, if you need some help in the future, you can call me anytime."

"I know that and I'm here to ask you about the incident about Hu Xin." Song Wei Ling looked at her seriously. "Did you find any lead that will point to who's her murderer?"

"Well, I already sent some people to search for clues but there's still no result," she answered her. "I guess I have to wait for a little longer."

Song Wei Ling nodded. "What if you won't be able to receive any news from them?" she asked her. "Why don't I call some of the private investigators I know to help you look for some clues faster?"

"Thank you for your suggestion but I'm being low-key." Su Xiao Qin told her. "Hu Xin's matter can't be revealed to the public because I felt like a socialite was behind her death. I don't want that person to know that I'm still looking for him or else, that person won't be caught."

"You got a point." Song Wei Ling agreed. "But do you think there's another hidden issue involved in her death aside from that her so-called money debt issue?"

"About that, I felt like her ex-husband was involved in this matter since from the last thing I heard from her, they're fighting over the custody of their child."

"So do you think that her former husband was also the suspect behind her death?"

"There's a huge possibility since her husband's company increased its sales after her death for the reason that she won't be able to stop him from partnering with those thugs in the social circle." Su Xiao Qin said. "But there's no proof that it can be the cause of her death."

"Hu Xin faced too much when she was alive and now her son replaced her place." Song Wei Ling felt a little sympathy. "And now, he's doing lots of dirty work for his father."

"That's also the reason why I don't want to end her murder case that was never been settled even though the court decided to close it." Su Xiao Qin gulped some water from the cup. "It will make her son's life stable and the same as mine. I have to know the things that I have to know that will end someone's career in exchange," she added. "By the way, why did you ask about that so suddenly?"

"My father reminded me of a meeting with Mr. Wang of Hei Group," she answered. "And last month, I asked someone to investigate him for me and I found it a little strange since Sun Lei will marry his daughter all of a sudden and there's a rumor that Sun Lei will be marrying this girl because of a threat that was received by his father."
