"Xia Yuqing."
Madam Shen murmured the name to herself, finding no recollection of it.
Furthermore, the person had barged into her home late at night for a visit.
This made Madam Shen think the individual utterly lacked any manners!
With a cold sneer, she replied, "I'm very sorry, I don't know you."
"While I don't know what you wish to discuss with me this late at night,"
"I need to sleep now, and there's no need for me to chat with you!"
Saying this, Madam Shen stepped out of the bedroom, intending to escort her out.
Xia Yuqing remained unhurried, speaking leisurely.
"It's alright if you don't know me. I want to talk to you about Song Qiao."
"Song Qiao?"
"That's right. He saved you, and you ought to repay him in some way."
Upon hearing that the topic was related to Song Qiao, Madam Shen frowned.
The action of wanting to kick Xia Yuqing out of her home faltered slightly.
After a moment of hesitation, she still wanted to know the other's intentions.
She gestured towards the living room and said, "Let's talk over there."
Moving from the bedroom to the living room, the two sat down.
Before Madam Shen could inquire, Xia Yuqing cut straight to the chase.
"Sheng Xiong died at Song Qiao's hands. Madam, you must be able to rest easy for a long time now."
"What? Is what you're saying true?"
Hearing this news, Madam Shen wasn't just relieved; she was overjoyed!
Song Qiao had chatted with Mo Ling about how many people would be able to relax after Sheng Xiong's death.
One of those people was undoubtedly Madam Shen!
One knew that Sheng Xiong had always wanted to kill Madam Shen, which had caused her immense torment for a long time.
Especially after Song Qiao had warned her that Sheng Xiong was still alive.
In the past two days, Madam Shen had even reached the point of being unable to sleep.
Now, learning that Sheng Xiong was actually dead, how could she not be both surprised and happy?
Xia Yuqing smiled and nodded, "Of course."
"That's why I dared to presume to come and ask for this favor from Madam."
Madam Shen frowned, still somewhat confused.
"Since Song Qiao killed Sheng Xiong, if he were to ask me for a favor, I would naturally not refuse."
"But why is it you who has come?"
Xia Yuqing smiled beautifully, replying calmly.
"It's very simple, because Song Qiao is injured."
"If that weren't the case, I wouldn't have come to find you."
Madam Shen's eyes widened. She doubted the truth of these words.
Because that was Song Qiao! Who could injure him?
But when she thought of the cause and effect, Song Qiao was facing Sheng Xiong.
Madam Shen suddenly understood, lowering her head and carefully piecing together the events, muttering.
"He killed Sheng Xiong, and was injured in that battle, is that it?"
Seeing Xia Yuqing nod, Madam Shen frankly replied.
"I'm very sorry, if he's injured, I suggest you take him to see a doctor as soon as possible."
"I don't know any medical skills, nor did my ancestors pass down any miraculous elixirs."
"Even if you come to ask for this favor, I'm afraid I can't help."
Seeing that Madam Shen was about to show her the door again, Xia Yuqing remained unfazed.
She looked at Madam Shen with amusement, shook her head, and smiled.
"Madam, you are too modest. Though you don't understand medicine, saving someone doesn't necessarily require medical skills."
Before Madam Shen could look puzzled, Xia Yuqing continued.
"If I remember correctly, Guo Can owes you a favor, doesn't he?"
"To use a favor to repay a favor, don't you think that's the natural order of things?"
Madam Shen's brows furrowed deeply. She was becoming more and more bewildered as to why this woman had come to see her.
"What does Guo Can have to do with this?"
"Of course, he has something to do with it. Guo Can wants to kill Song Qiao!"
"What?" Madam Shen's heart jolted. Only then did she finally understand Xia Yuqing's purpose in seeking her out.
"Song Qiao is severely injured, and Guo Can is making moves."
"Are you saying he might not be a match for him?"
The smile on Xia Yuqing's face suddenly vanished. She stared intently at Madam Shen and said in a low voice.
"Only you can prevent Guo Can from acting without provoking the Guo family."
Madam Shen lowered her head, falling into thought.
Then, she raised her face, looked at Xia Yuqing, and asked.
"To go to such lengths to save his life, what is your relationship with Song Qiao?"
"Heh."
Xia Yuqing took a deep breath, her brow furrowed as she fell into contemplation.
It was evident she wasn't pondering philosophical questions about her identity or her relationship with Song Qiao.
It was more like recalling something.
After a moment, Xia Yuqing replied softly, "The same as yours."
"The same as mine? What kind of answer is that?"
Madam Shen was startled by this response. She quickly stood up, her face red, and questioned.
"I... I... what's my relationship with him?"
This girl, so young, can't just say such things!
Xia Yuqing shook her head and slowly continued.
"I also owe him a lot, and I need to repay it!"
"Alright, the 'curious' time is over."
Xia Yuqing withdrew from her contemplation, her gaze fixed on Madam Shen again, a glint of ruthlessness in her eyes.
The threat in her tone was also unmistakable.
"Please consider my request carefully, Madam."
"As far as I know, the cooperation between the Conglomerate and Nanyang Group is about to begin, isn't it?"
"If Madam hopes for something to go wrong during this cooperation, or if you wish for your own life to be in danger."
"Then you are welcome not to agree!"
