Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the private room, the atmosphere had gotten a little stiff.
Song Zhizhi knew very well that Yi Wenhan was making such a scene in order to keep her. Of course, even if he failed, he wanted to show others how heartless she was.
But even so, what difference did it make?
They had not been dating, so it was not a break up, and she was not cheating on him. She bore no emotional burden.
On the other hand, Song Zhizhi, who had always been obedient to Yi Wenhan, had suddenly changed to the point where he could not control her anymore. He must be so furious right now his cardiovascular was about to rupture.
“You know what my situation is, but you still try to make things difficult for me. I don’t understand this kind of love at all. Let’s stop here, Yi Wenhan,” said Song Zhizhi.
“Song Zhizhi!” Yi Wenhan fiercely yanked on Song Zhizhi’s arm. He was obviously enraged at this moment.
He never expected that Song Zhizhi would reject him so bluntly, embarrassing him in front of so many people. He always thought Song Zhizhi was someone who would answer to his every whim. He had gone to such lengths, how dare she not appreciate it.
He was so angry right now that he felt like pummeling Song Zhizhi to death, but there were a lot of people there, so he dared not lash out. He tried to say in as calm a voice as possible, “If you go now, we’re done forever.”
He meant that it was a point of no return. He would no longer try to retain her.
“I wish you joy and happiness,” said Song Zhizhi.
Yi Wenhan was so angry that his whole body was trembling.
He had never been defeated so badly by Song Zhizhi before.
“You’re willing to marry an impotent man for money, Song Zhizhi?” Yi Wenhan shouted furiously.
Song Zhizhi bit her lip. She looked straight at Yi Wenhan and declared clearly, “Ji Baijian is not impotent!”
“You mean you and Ji Baijian have already… How can you be so shameless!” Yi Wenhan shouted.
He was probably furious because he had not even touched her yet and someone else already did.
Men were always such selfish creatures. Regardless of whether they really like a girl, they would not allow other people to touch her.
“Ji Baijian is my fiancé. Anything that happens between us is our business and no one else’s. You have no right to ask!” Song Zhizhi ruthlessly pushed away Yi Wenhan’s hand and walked away.
While she was walking away, she abruptly stopped, turned back and said, “I’m marrying Ji Baijian for money? No, we’re just from families of equal statuses!”
She did not say the phrase “you’re not good enough for me” out loud, but men like Yi Wenhan would naturally get it!
Song Zhizhi left.
Everyone in the private room stared at Yi Wenhan. They did not know what to say.
It was awkward.
After a long while, a voice finally broke the silence, “Matters of love can’t be forced, Wenhan. Cheer up. Time will make everything better.”
Yi Wenhan was not thinking about love at all. He was trying his hardest to suppress his anger.
He wanted nothing more right now than to kill Song Zhizhi to vent his frustration.
But he tried to calm himself down and said, “I’m sorry you guys had to see that. It’s getting late. You guys should go.”
Everyone there looked at each other. After offering more words of concern, they left one after another.
In the end, Yi Wenhan and Nie Xiaofei were the only ones left.
The two of them dropped their pretenses.
Nie Xiaofei stomped her feet furiously, “Who the hell does Song Zhizhi think she is? Look at her attitude! You’ve gone so far for her today but she’s not appreciative in the slightest! She doesn’t care about your feelings at all. What does she take you for these past three years? A toy to keep her entertained?”
Yi Wenhan’s blood boiled even more after listening to Nie Xiaofei’s words.
After thinking about it, Nie Xiaofei picked up the phone and called Nie Wenzhi. “Mom, Song Zhizhi rejected the proposal!”
Nie Wenzhi’s expression changed slightly. “What the hell is Song Zhizhi thinking?”
“Who knows. She changes her mind so suddenly. It makes me suspect if she actually knows something!”
“Impossible!” Nie Wenzhi had a lot of confidence in herself. She had never let anything slip.
“So what now? Song Zhizhi doesn’t care about my brother anymore,” Nie Xiaofei said unhappily.
“Let me handle the rest. Did you take the pictures I asked you to take?” asked Nie Wenzhi.
“Yeah.”
“Send them to me,” said Nie Wenzhi, “She started it, so don’t blame me. I didn’t intend to do anything to her initially.”
“What are you planning, mom?” Nie Xiaofei asked enthusiastically.
In truth, Nie Xiaofei had been jealous of Song Zhizhi ever since she was a kid. Song Zhizhi was just lucky enough to be born into a good family. Why should Song Zhizhi be regarded to be above Nie Xiaofei in every way? Although Song Zhizhi treated her well, those in high society would only recognize Song Zhizhi.
She had detested Song Zhizhi for a long time and had long wanted to take her place. She could not wait for her mother to eliminate Song Zhizhi.
“You just wait and see,” Nie Wenzhi did not want to say too much. Instead, she instructed, “If you’re done there, come back quickly. Ask your brother to go back too. Don’t get thrown into confusion just because of a mere Song Zhizhi. Remember how I usually taught you two. Keep your wits about you.”
“Yes, mom.” Nie Xiaofei hung up the phone. She turned to Yi Wenhan and said, “Don’t worry, mom has a plan to deal with Song Zhizhi. We just have to wait and see her fall.”
The corners of Yi Wenhan’s mouth curled up into a smirk.
Hopefully. The more miserable she ended up, the better.
…
The next day.
In the Song residence.
After coming home from rejecting Yi Wenhan last night, Song Zhizhi had a good night’s sleep and woke up feeling refreshed.
Ever since Song Zhizhi discovered the true colors of that family, she no longer had any feelings for them except for hate and vengeance.
She washed up and opened her bedroom door.
The house was surprisingly lively today.
She saw her grandmother, Qin Ciling, whom she had not seen for a while.
Ever since her grandfather had passed away, her grandmother had been living by herself with the servants who took care of her in the old mansion in the suburb and would hardly come by. She said she could not get used to the air here. Why was she suddenly visiting now…
Song Zhizhi had an ominous premonition, but she still walked over and greeted her grandmother enthusiastically, “Grandma! What a surprise! I miss you so much.”
“You, girl, have a sweet mouth as always,” Qin Ciling touched the tip of Song Zhizhi’s nose dotingly.
“Since you’re here, why not stay for a few days, grandma?” Song Zhizhi asked.
“I just can’t get used to living here. I only came because of your aunt’s enthusiasm. She said it’s been a long time since I’ve visited and all of you misses me dearly, so she went to pick me up,” Qin Ciling said with a smile.
Song Zhizhi had to hand it to Nie Wenzhi. When Nie Wenzhi first joined this family, Qin Ciling would not acknowledge her at all. Who knew what she had done all these years to keep the elder happy. Now, Qin Ciling simply adored this daughter-in-law of hers.
“You should really come here more often. We’re family,” said Song Zhizhi intimately.
But inside, she was actually pretty anxious of what scheme Nie Wenzhi had cooked up.
Thinking that, she turned to look at Nie Wenzhi. Nie Wenzhi was keeping her grandmother company like a good daughter-in-law. She was displaying nothing out of the ordinary. On the other hand, Song Zhizhi seemed to sense a feeling of schadenfreude coming from Nie Xiaofei.
Song Zhizhi did not betray her thoughts. She continued to talk and laugh with Qin Ciling comfortably.
Qin Ciling was her biological grandmother after all. Sometimes, Nie Xiaofei could not even interject in their conversation. Song Zhizhi used to deliberately let Nie Xiaofei and her grandmother spend time together so that her grandmother could grow fond of Nie Xiaofei. Now, she would be crazy to care about Nie Xiaofei’s feelings.
Nie Xiaofei was obviously a little upset but she did not dare to get angry.
When it was almost lunchtime, Nie Xiaofei suddenly let out an exclamation.
Everyone turned to her in surprise.
Although Qin Ciling had accepted Nie Wenzhi and Nie Xiaofei, she still did not really consider Nie Xiaofei her own granddaughter.
Her face was a little sullen as she said, “Have some manners. Don’t suddenly go yelling out like that.”
“Sorry grandma, It’s just that… I saw the news about sis, and…” Nie Xiaofei stammered with an innocent look on her face. She turned her phone around to show everyone.
“What news? I have bad eyes, read it out,” said Qin Ciling sternly.
“Love affair of Song family’s eldest daughter exposed! The love interest has proposed! And the love interest is not her fiancé!” Nie Xiaofei read out word by word.
