Bab 59: Chapter 59

Chen Xinyi felt the room spinning around her, vertigo gripping her senses as the full weight of Song Bo's words slammed into her like a cosmic anvil. She blinked dizzily, mouth working but no sound emerging past the tidal roar building in her ears.

"Wh...What did you say?" she finally croaked, fingers clenching the tablecloth in a white-knuckled grip.

Song Bo regarded his wife levelly, seemingly unmoved by her burgeoning distress. "I said that Hui Ling and my son Song Yu will be moving into the Song manor effectively immediately. This is still my ancestral home, and Yu is my legal heir - my firstborn son. It's only fitting he assumes his rightful place here."

Chen Xinyi's carefully coiffed hair whipped around her blanched face as she shook her head in a slow, numb negation. Surely she had misheard the callous declaration spilling from the lips of the man who had once vowed eternal devotion and fidelity to her.
