Chapter 304 Past Events Like Smoke
Director Chen's expression changed, "You..."
"What? Surprised?"
Song Yafei said, "My father has been collecting evidence all these years. Do you think you can keep what you've done a secret forever?"
Director Chen stood up, "You're talking nonsense!"
"nonsense?"
Song Yafei turned on the projector. "And what about these?"
Photos and documents appeared on the screen. They were all about what Director Chen had done back then.
"You...you fabricated evidence!"
Director Chen became anxious.
"I fabricated evidence?"
Song Yafei sneered, "Then explain why there are so many suspicious transfer records in your private account?"
The other directors, upon seeing this evidence, began to discuss it amongst themselves.
Looking at the expressions of those around him, Director Chen knew that things were not going well.
"These are all coincidences!"
He argued.
"is it?"
Song Yafei took out another document, "And this one? This is your secret agreement with the overseas company."
"You want to sell Song's core technology to your rival, right?"
Director Chen's face turned deathly pale.
He hadn't expected Song Yafei to have so much evidence.
"I……"
He wanted to say something else.
But then, the police pushed the door open and entered.
"Mr. Chen, you are suspected of commercial espionage. Please come with us."
Director Chen slumped in his chair, his face ashen.
The other directors, witnessing this scene, fell silent in fear.
Song Yafei looked around. "Does anyone still have doubts about my leadership abilities?"
No one speaks.
"very good."
She said, "Then, today's meeting is adjourned."
After everyone had left, Assistant Luo came over.
"President Song, you're amazing!"
He sincerely praised it.
Song Yafei shook her head, "This evidence was collected by my father over the years. If it weren't for him..."
She didn't finish speaking, but Assistant Luo understood what she meant.
"Oh, right."
Assistant Luo said, "When Director Chen was taken away just now, he said he was going to report something. Should we..."
"Ignore him."
Song Yafei said, "He has no chance of turning things around."
In the afternoon, Song Yafei returned to the villa and told me what had happened.
"So, this is finally over?"
She nodded. "Yes. Director Chen has been arrested."
I breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good."
"but……"
She suddenly said, "There's one more thing."
"Before Director Chen was taken away, he said..."
She paused, then said, "He was also the one who orchestrated the Han family's affairs back then."
I was stunned.
"He admitted that he was the one who instructed people to spread rumors about you and Han Nian."
"Their aim is to sow discord among us."
I was silent.
So that's how things happened back then.
I didn't know what to say for a moment.
“Ah Tian…”
Song Yafei called me softly, "I'm sorry."
I shook my head. "It's all in the past."
Although I know the truth, the damage has already been done and the harm has been inflicted.
Even now that I understand the whole story, I can't erase that painful memory.
"If only I had trusted you more back then..."
Song Yafei's voice was choked with sobs.
"Stop talking."
I interrupted her, "There's no point in saying this now."
Song Yafei looked at me with her eyes full of apology.
Just then, Xiao Xiaotian ran out of the room, shouting, "Dad, Mom!"
Seeing his innocent smile, Song Yafei and I were able to temporarily put aside our heavy hearts.
That night, I lay in bed, but I couldn't fall asleep no matter what I did.
Looking back on those days, I am filled with mixed emotions.
At that time, I had just started a successful business, and my relationship with Song Yafei was at its best.
Unexpectedly, an unforeseen disaster completely changed the course of our lives.
Han Nian was falsely accused of having an affair with me, and I was speechless with grievances.
Song Yafei chose to believe those rumors and was extremely disappointed in me.
after that……
I sighed, unwilling to think about it anymore.
Suddenly, the door was gently pushed open.
It's Song Yafei.
She stood at the door, hesitant to speak.
"It's so late, is something the matter?" I asked.
She came in and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Tian, there's something I've always wanted to ask you."
"what?"
"If...if I had chosen to believe you back then, would things have been different?"
I looked at her and asked, "What do you think?"
She lowered her head. "I don't know. All I know is that I regret it."
"Regret what?"
"I regret not giving you a chance to explain. I regret being so easily manipulated. I regret..."
She paused, then said, "I regret hurting you."
Indeed, if she had been willing to listen to my explanation back then, perhaps things would be very different now.
But reality doesn't offer "what ifs".
"Yafei".
I said softly, "Let bygones be bygones. What we need to do now is take good care of Xiao Xiaotian."
She nodded, tears welling in her eyes.
"I know you will never forgive me."
"But I still have to say, I'm sorry."
Seeing her so vulnerable, I couldn't help but feel sad.
After all, I used to love her so much.
"Go and rest."
I said, "I need to go to the hospital tomorrow to prepare for the surgery."
She stood up, walked to the door, and then looked back at me.
Goodnight, Ah Tian.
I nodded. "Good night."
Watching her departing figure, I suddenly felt very tired.
Over the years, we have all suffered by hurting each other.
Now that the truth has come out, things can never go back to the way they were before.
Perhaps this is fate's arrangement.
Time quickly passed until the eve of the surgery.
During this period, Mr. Song has been hospitalized to prepare.
Song Yafei would take Xiaoxiaotian to see him every day, and I would sometimes go with her.
It's clear that Mr. Song cherishes the time he spends with his grandson.
Every time Xiaoxiaotian comes, he prepares all sorts of toys and gifts.
That afternoon, we went to the hospital again.
Little Tian is already very familiar with this place; as soon as he entered the ward, he snuggled into his grandfather's arms.
"Grandpa, what fun things did you bring me today?"
Mr. Song smiled and took a box from the bedside table. "Guess what it is?"
Little Tian cheered as he opened the box; it contained a set of building blocks.
"Thank you, Grandpa!"
Seeing the happy scene between the grandmother and grandson, Song Yafei's eyes reddened.
Mr. Song noticed his daughter's expression and said softly, "Yafei, don't worry. The surgery will definitely be successful."
Song Yafei nodded, forcing back her tears.
I know what she's worried about.
This surgery is not only related to Xiaoxiaotian's life, but also a turning point for her to rebuild her relationship with her father.
She was afraid that everything was coming too late.
Back at the villa that evening, after putting Xiao Xiaotian to sleep, Song Yafei stood alone on the balcony, lost in thought.
I poured her a glass of warm water.
"What are you thinking about?"
She took the water glass. "I was thinking, if I had known the truth back then, would everything have been different?"
I know she wasn't just talking about my father, but also about the things between us.
"Don't dwell on the past."
