Chapter 52: Confession
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yu Yong naturally saw Song Yaoâs figure. He wanted to go forward and greet her, but Song Yao rode her bike so quickly that he didnât have a chance to catch up.
At the thought that he still had to catch a bus to Mei Zhaoâs house later, Yu Yong gritted his teeth and turned around to go to the bus stop.
Song Yao sent the fresh ingredients to the state-owned restaurant and planned to leave in a hurry. Ever since she realized that Lin Feng was interested in her last time, she had already planned to change to another restaurant.
Lin Feng paid Song Yao and gave her a movie ticket. âLetâs watch a movie when youâre free tonight.â
âI wonât be back tonight. You can look for someone else,â Song Yao immediately said.
âWhen are you coming back?â Lin Feng asked.
âI donât want to watch a movie!â Song Yao refused bluntly.
She thought that Lin Feng would back off and stop pestering her like before, but Lin Feng stopped Song Yao. âWeâve known each other for so long. You should be able to tell that Iâm interested in you. What do you think of this?â
Was this a confession? Song Yao was shocked. Ever since she divorced Yu Yong, she only wanted to raise Baby Xuan alone in peace, She had never thought about her own matters,
She wanted to talk to Lin Feng after this period of time, but since Lin Feng had already said it, there was no need for her to hide it.
âActually, Iâve always wanted to find an opportunity to tell you about this, but now that youâve taken the initiative to mention it, Iâll tell you that I donât have any feelings for you. I wonât come over to deliver goods to you again in the future. I hope you can find a good girl whoâs really suitable for you!â After Song Yao finished speaking, she turned around and left without waiting for Lin Feng to say anything.
Lin Feng frowned and subconsciously wanted to chase after her, but he heard the attendant behind him shout, âMerchant Lin! The boss wants you to go over!â
He clenched his fists and did not chase after her. He said impatiently, âGot it!â
Song Yao rode the car out of the state-owned restaurant and went straight to Anqing County next door.
Her aunt, Song Lan, lived in an extremely remote mountain village in Anqing County. Song Yao took a detour for more than two hours. It was not until dark that she saw a brick house at the entrance of the village.
Song Lan married early. The year Song Yao was born, Song Lan had already given birth to her second child. Now, her eldest grandson was already more than seven years old. She lived from hand to mouth, and had to think twice about eating fine grain.
When Song Yao rushed over, Song Lan was still feeding the chickens in the courtyard. When she saw her niece coming over, she didnât bother to take off her apron and went up to her. âYao?
Why are you here?â
She took the basket of eggs and a bag of river rice sticks from Song Yao and said with a smile, âYou really came just because you said so! Why did you bring something? Eh? Didnât Yong come with you?â
Song Lan had not returned to Sangqiu County for more than a year, and communication in the village was inconvenient. She naturally did not know about Song Yaoâs divorce.
Song Yao said calmly, âAunt, Yu Yong and I have already divorced.â
âWhen was this?â
When Song Lan heard this, she was a little anxious. She patted Song Yaoâs shoulder and asked, âI remember that Yu Yong treats you quite well. Why did you divorce him? Does he have a mistress?â
Song Yaoâs lips twitched. âAunt⦠Itâs a long story. Donât ask. Anyway, I donât even spend much time with Yu Yong.â
âOh no! Why canât you two live together? The two of you still have a child. How are you going to live with a child if you really get a divorce?â Song Lan said.
âWhy canât I live my life?â
Song Yao paused for a moment before continuing, âIâve made a lot of money doing business now. Without him, I can still lead a good life with Baby Xuan!â
Song Lan disagreed. âOh dear⦠What kind of business is a girl like you doing? In my opinion, this woman canât do without a man by her side.â
âAunt!â
Song Yao couldnât be bothered to listen to the same excuse. She simply changed the topic. âWhere are Cousin and Sister-in-law? Why donât I see them?â
Only then did the corners of Song Lanâs lips twitch as she replied, âYour eldest cousin brought your sister-in-law to work in the fields. Your second cousinâ¦â
Song Lan sighed. âHis family is poor. He couldnât get a wife in the village, so he followed the villagers to Yang City to work.â
At the mention of this, Song Lan panicked. âDo you think that money is so easy to earn? He hasnât gone far. What if heâs cheated?â
Song Yao smiled helplessly. âDonât worry, Aunt. My second cousin is already an adult. He canât be bullied. Moreover, there are many people working in Yang City now. Didnât my second cousin leave his hometown to earn money?â.
