My Super Beautiful Lady Boss-Chapter 612 - 606 Song Shuangshuang’s Happiness is Gone
Chapter 612: Chapter 606 Song Shuangshuang’s Happiness is Gone
Because Song Shuangshuang had only enough antidote for one poison needle, it was necessary to extract some of the poison from Qiuyue’s body first. With no better method available, Su Xuan actually used his mouth to suck out some of the poison, so that applying the antidote afterward would essentially cure her.
Hiss!
As Su Xuan was sucking the poison from Qiuyue’s body, though Qiuyue was in a dazed state just a moment ago, she could hear Song Shuangshuang’s words and knew that Su Xuan was extracting the poison for her.
With each extraction, Qiuyue groaned in pain. At such a time, there was no consideration of gender, only the pressing need to save a life.
After Su Xuan finished, he rinsed his mouth with clear water, then applied the antidote to Qiuyue. Before long, Qiuyue felt much better and turned to Su Xuan with a look of shame, "Thank you."
Su Xuan didn’t say much.
It was instead Song Shuangshuang who knew that the only place in the Song Family with poison needles was the Mourning Hall.
"Did you go to the Mourning Hall?!"
Song Shuangshuang asked. Although she seemed somewhat simple-minded, she was sharp inside, knowing that Qiuyue must have been poisoned in the Mourning Hall.
"Yes, she was poisoned in the Mourning Hall."
Su Xuan admitted, feeling that Song Shuangshuang was a good girl, which was why he was being candid with her.
Qiuyue gave Su Xuan a look, signalling him not to say anymore, fearing that Song Shuangshuang might tell her father, Song Tianbao.
Seated at the table, Su Xuan took a sip of tea and rinsed his mouth again, pondering whether he should tell Song Shuangshuang the whole story. If she were to help, it would be beneficial, but if not, the security around the Mourning Hall would become even stricter.
Seeing that Su Xuan appeared to be holding back words, Song Shuangshuang said, "Whatever you have to say, you can tell me. I absolutely will not tell my father, I promise!"
"Alright, I’ll tell you."
Su Xuan revealed his true reason for coming here – to find the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus to save someone.
Song Shuangshuang stared at Su Xuan with her bright, wide eyes, unblinking, trying to see through him.
"So that’s it, you never really wanted to be a Study Companion. You took the position just to get the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus to save someone, right?"
Su Xuan nodded. What Song Shuangshuang said was correct; that was the situation, and at this moment, Su Xuan had no more secrets from Song Shuangshuang.
Song Shuangshuang, impressed, had not expected Su Xuan to be such a man of valor, seeking the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus to save someone.
"The girl named Li Yuanyuan must feel very blessed to have someone who loves her as much as you do," Song Shuangshuang said wistfully.
"No, I’ve only met her twice," Su Xuan explained.
"Oh, just twice, huh? So your relationship is just ordinary?"
"Yes."
At this moment, Song Shuangshuang’s mood inexplicably lifted a great deal. Su Xuan was undoubtedly a person of integrity and loyalty, and Song Shuangshuang found herself quite fond of him.
"I’m definitely going to help you with this!"
Song Shuangshuang wanted to obtain the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus for Su Xuan, reasoning that since it was of no use just sitting at home, it was better to use it to save a life.
Su Xuan was delighted to hear this. With Song Shuangshuang’s proactive assistance, their task would be much easier.
"That’s wonderful. If we really succeed, I must thank you properly. I can fulfill a small request for you."
"Okay, I’ll let you know my request when I think of it."
"Agreed."
This way, Su Xuan and Song Shuangshuang made an agreement.
When she was young, Song Shuangshuang was playing in the Mourning Hall and accidentally triggered a mechanism, which caused her to be hit with a Poison Needle. Therefore, she only had the antidote for one remaining needle.
After Song Shuangshuang left and Qiuyue’s poison was almost completely neutralized, Qiuyue was deeply moved by Su Xuan’s actions earlier in sucking out the poison. If it weren’t for him, she might have died by now. Death did not scare Qiuyue, for as an Assassin, she had survived many a day licking blood from the blade. Now, she felt she owed Su Xuan too much, the poison in his body, the poison in Li Yuanyuan’s body, all were caused by her. Looking back, she felt like a clown, sinking into the depths of self-abasement.
"Don’t think too much about it. As long as Song Shuangshuang is willing to help us, we have already succeeded in large part," Su Xuan said confidently.
Su Xuan had thought that Song Shuangshuang might collude with him to steal the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus from the Mourning Hall, but the next morning, she went to find her father, Song Tianbao. She not only took responsibility for the incident in the Mourning Hall the night before but also threatened to die unless she was given the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus.
Song Tianbao had never seen his daughter so determined and was truly terrified. She was his only daughter, and once lost, she would be gone forever.
"Shuangshuang, don’t make it hard for your father. The Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus was acquired with your grandfather’s life; it cannot be given away lightly to outsiders," Song Tianbao pleaded, genuinely terrified and trying to dissuade her from her resolution.
"Are you going to give it to me or not today? Just give me a straight answer," Song Shuangshuang demanded angrily, knowing full well that her father was skilled at evading issues and would likely delay indefinitely if it were up to him.
"If you need it for yourself, I could give it to you, but to give it to a stranger? Why must you do this?" Song Tianbao couldn’t understand. Ever since Su Xuan arrived at the Song Family, his daughter behaved as if she were under a spell, always taking the outsider’s side, to the point where Song Tianbao wondered if she had been cursed.
"Su Xuan’s friend has been poisoned and needs the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus. Please give it to him, I beg you!"
Song Shuangshuang was still pleading, hoping that Su Xuan could get it as soon as possible.
Song Tianbao closed his eyes, deeply pondering, how exactly to handle this matter.
Finally, Song Tianbao relented and said, "I can give you the Snow Lotus, but I hope Su Xuan will not come back!"
"Why?"
Song Shuangshuang was very puzzled, but the old fox Song Tianbao had long noticed that his daughter had a good impression of Su Xuan. If this continued, he was sure to hook her away.
"I can ask him about this, just wait."
Song Shuangshuang hurried to Su Xuan’s room, who had just gotten up since there was a limited number of beds, Su Xuan had slept on a makeshift bed on the floor tonight, while Qiuyue slept on the bed. Her body’s poison had not yet been completely cleared, so Su Xuan didn’t dare to do anything with her.
"Su Xuan, I need to talk to you about something."
Seeing that Su Xuan was tidying up his makeshift bed, Song Shuangshuang knew that nothing had happened between him and Qiuyue last night. For some reason, her heart felt very happy.
"What is it?" Su Xuan curiously asked.
So, Song Shuangshuang repeated Song Tianbao’s words from earlier, if Su Xuan got the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, he could not enter the Song Family home ever again.
"You didn’t really agree, did you?"
Song Shuangshuang said unwillingly.
"That’s a tough question."
Seeing Su Xuan struggling with the decision, Song Shuangshuang said, "Leave it to me, I don’t believe I can’t persuade him."
Indeed, the next time Song Shuangshuang came back, she had a box in her hand, containing the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus!
This time Song Shuangshuang came back with a knife in her hand, truly threatening her own life. Song Tianbao was terrified, and without a second word, he went straight to the Mourning Hall to retrieve the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus and handed it to his daughter, cautioning her not to do anything foolish.
Su Xuan, holding the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, didn’t know what to say anymore, while Song Shuangshuang kept insisting that he should quickly deliver the Snow Lotus back, otherwise, there wouldn’t be enough time. After all, discounting today, there was only one more day left.
Su Xuan had to set off immediately, knowing that the delay on the road would take a whole day. At this rate, the return trip was indeed a race against the clock.
At this moment, Su Xuan wanted to return with Qiuyue, only to discover she had disappeared!
Su Xuan searched everywhere possible but couldn’t find any trace of her. Where had she gone?
Feeling anxious in his heart because Qiuyue too had been poisoned, Su Xuan wanted to share some of the Snow Lotus with her.
At this time, Su Xuan couldn’t afford to waste any more time and planned to start his journey immediately.
In the end, Song Shuangshuang stopped Su Xuan, saying, "You need to go back, let me find someone to send you off."
"No need, I know the way back."
Song Shuangshuang shook her head, "It’s not about getting someone to send you, but to send you by airplane."
"Airplane?"
This was the first time Su Xuan heard that the Song Family, isolated at Mount Everest, had an airplane. It all sounded like a joke.
Song Shuangshuang had already obtained her father’s permission, called the steward who brought a person claiming to be a pilot. Initially, Su Xuan didn’t believe it, but once he followed them to the back mountain, he found an area spacious enough for an airplane to take off and land.
Su Xuan looked into the distance and, to his surprise, indeed saw a Russian-made Gulfstream airplane. He was truly impressed; the plane was used by the Song Family for procurement trips and was worth several hundred million yuan.
"It’s faster to go by plane. Your friend’s condition is critical, hurry back.
Su Xuan nodded, wanting to return with Qiuyue. He searched everywhere again but found no trace of her. Could she have gone back on her own?
Soon, through Song Shuangshuang’s contacts, Su Xuan got news that a woman had descended the mountain alone this morning—it must have been Qiuyue. Why had she gone down the mountain alone?
"Could it be she stole the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus and left on her own?"
Su Xuan quickly opened the box with the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus and saw that it was still there; Qiuyue had not taken it.
Worry began to creep into Su Xuan’s heart, as Qiuyue would not be able to survive without the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, and tomorrow was the last day of her life. Su Xuan was unsettled, unsure of what to do.
Nevertheless, he boarded the plane, waved goodbye to Song Shuangshuang, promising himself that he would definitely come back again.
Song Shuangshuang waved frantically from below, shouting, "Goodbye, Study Companion!"
Song Shuangshuang’s clear voice echoed around Mount Everest for a long time before fading away.
After the plane had gone, Song Shuangshuang stared at the diminishing plane, lost in thought. Without her realizing, Song Tianbao appeared beside her, placing a thick cloak over her shoulders.
"Was it worth it?"
"Worth it."
Song Tianbao felt unease in his heart; his daughter had actually confronted him with death this morning, and he had never been so afraid before.
Now that his daughter had grown up and become assertive, Song Tianbao had long wanted to find her a good family to marry into and keep her in check.
Song Tianbao hadn’t agreed to his daughter’s request for the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus aimlessly—he had arranged for her to become in-laws with the prestigious Li Family.
The Li Family was also quite influential but did not live in an idyllic paradise; they resided in a major city, yet the two families had always kept in touch through letters.
Song Shuangshuang had traded her own happiness for the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus Su Xuan needed!
