Novel Full Chapter 1177: Not willing to acknowledge
—————
Yu Cheng was simply baffled by what was happening. He could not believe that Yu Dong that waste of space in his family and house was actually surrounded by so many influential people. He wanted to go up to her and ask her what was happening but the crowd around the mall started to get thicker and thicker.
The onlookers had been curious about this building that was being built for more than two months. They thought that the owner of this shop was a fool as she was making a building as big as the Imperial Palace but to their surprise, the owner stopped right when the building was ten inches shorter than the Imperial Palace.
It was said that the who tried to make a building bigger than the Imperial Palace was actually trying to go against the Imperial Family but the owner of the shop was smart and decisive, leaving them all in awe. After all, just how strict calculations she must have made to make sure that the building was still ten inches shorter than the imperial palace.
” Miss congratulations!”
” Congratulations, Miss!”
When Grandma Yu saw that the onlookers were congratulating her and her granddaughter, she smiled and then said, ” Thank you for your kind wishes.”
Yu Cheng on the other hand tried very hard to get noticed by his grandmother but he did not know whether or not his grandmother deliberately or unknowingly ignored him despite her gaze falling in the direction where he was standing.
Before he could think of shouting, another carriage came driving past him. If not for the fact that his friend pulled him behind he would have been hit by the carriage just now!
” What are you doing? Do you think you can join in that fanfare? I heard that the owner of this mall is really rich! She owns the mer bar on Main Street and she is also the owner of the entire village where she lives,” Yu Cheng’s friend sighed with excitement. He looked at Yu Dong who was smiling and greeting the influential people of the town and then shook his head.
” If I was related to that woman, I would have thanked my parents for giving me such a blessed birth. If that woman was my relative then I wouldn’t have to worry about money the rest of my life. Whoever is related to that big shot is really lucky ah!”
Yu Cheng who was related to that big shot and yet had no such luck did not know what to say. He wanted to say something but before he could say anything, his friend exclaimed once more,
” Ah is that Madam Song? Damn, this Yu woman is really fortunate! Whom does she not know? She even knows Madam Song! I heard that among all the socialites, Madam Song’s brother is the hardest to get along with and Madam Song is even harder to befriend than Song Nian, don’t you agree with me, ah Cheng?”
Yu Cheng hummed. Song Yixu had a biological brother who was the only mer son of the Song family. He was arrogant to the bones and only knew how to spend his days shopping and gossiping away. He was also quite troublesome and rude, however, that only showed that the Song family doted on him and was willing to clear after him.
Because Yu Cheng wanted to cling onto the social ladder, he tried to get close to Song Nian but the latter did not even give a good look to him, if anything he treated him like he was a useless scum of the society. Even then Yu Cheng did not say anything and continued to pester Song Nian, however, the latter did not even give a chance and refused him again and again.
Yu Cheng had been quite upset with Song Nian because of this, he then thought that if he got closer to Song Yixu then Song Nian would have no other choice but to agree with his pursuit. But Song Yixu turned out to be even more difficult to approach than Song Nian!
At least Song Nian would listen to what he had to say but Song Yixu! She simply ignored him outright!
Only then did he understand that the Song siblings simply did not care about him. They simply did not care about his existence in the first place from the looks of it, he was simply a useless existence in their eyes!
However, that very same Song Yixu was now talking and laughing with Yu Dong. What happened in the past few months and why didn’t his mother tell him anything? Why was his sister standing with Yu Dong instead of coming to look for him? It wasn’t as if he was invisible!
” I am glad that I wasn’t late,” while Yu Cheng had a lot of questions no one cared about him. Yu Dong was busy talking with Song Yixu and Yu Tong despite catching sight of her brother was busy ignoring him.
She did not hate Yu Cheng as she knew that her parents and grandfather were biased towards him and it had nothing to do with Yu Cheng. It wasn’t him who asked their parents to treat her roughly. It was just how her parents wanted to treat her.
However, at the same time, Yu Cheng never stood up for her. He knew how biased their parents were towards him but he never took a stand nor did he ask them to stop bullying her or Yu Dong. In fact, despite knowing that she and her cousin were being squeezed to the last drop by their grandfather all because he wanted them to support him, Yu Cheng remained silent.
Though he was not the instigator, he was an onlooker who knew everything but stayed silent in the face of such a situation and Yu Tong did not think that he was innocent.
If he were to greet him now then he would surely try to get closer to Yu Dong while trying to ride on her coattails, she did not want that to happen!
