Chapter 74 - 74 You deserve it

Chapter 74: You deserve it. Chapter 74: You deserve it. Qin Yushen pushed open the car door and stepped out, walking up to Song Yan Ning and the others.

“Let’s go inside,” Yang Lisheng adjusted his collar and sleeves. It had been a long time since he had dressed so formally, and he was somewhat unaccustomed to it.

“Mm!” Li Meixiang nodded slightly and took Song Yan Ning’s hand, following Yang Lisheng towards the Song Family’s mansion. They had been to the Song Family’s home before—it wasn’t their first visit; they had attended Xin’er and Yufeng’s engagement, their wedding, as well as the one-month celebrations for Xiao Xue and Xiao Li. Although there had been some changes, they were not significant.

Qin Yushen slightly curved his lips into a smile and caught up with the three.

“Brother Yushen!” A pretty figure jogged towards Qin Yushen.

Qin Yushen subtly furrowed his brow.

“Brother Yushen!” Song Yanxue ran up to Qin Yushen, her face beaming with happiness as she looked at him, seemingly oblivious to Song Yan Ning and the others beside her. Brother Yushen must have noticed her beauty today. Would Brother Yushen be moved by her? Although they were still young, even kindergarteners knew about liking each other, and they were almost in middle school, surely old enough to start dating. She had always harbored a crush on Brother Yushen.

“Mm,” Qin Yushen responded blandly.

“Brother Yushen, do you think I look pretty today?” Song Yanxue walked up to Qin Yushen’s side and reached out to hold his arm.

Qin Yushen stepped aside, avoiding Song Yanxue’s hand. He had always disliked being touched by others, especially those he did not like.

Song Yanxue looked at her empty embrace, feeling somewhat dejected. When would Brother Yushen finally accept her? She knew that Brother Yushen did not like to be touched, but she was different—she had grown up with him, and both of their elders hoped that they could be together in the future.

“You’re Xiao Xue, right?” Li Meixiang smiled at Song Yanxue, who shared a resemblance with Yang Xin’er. Xiao Xue was born when she and her partner were still in Beijing; they had even held her when she was a baby. In the blink of an eye, she had grown so much.

Upon hearing this, Song Yanxue glanced up and down at Li Meixiang, “Who are you?” Did she not see that she was talking to Brother Yushen?

Yang Lisheng frowned displeasedly, “We are your grandparents.” He had heard from Xin’er that Xiao Xue was polite and well-behaved, but now she seemed much worse than Xiao Ning.

“Grandparents?” Song Yanxue turned her gaze to Song Yan Ning, “Is she the ugly freak?”

That comment made the three onlookers’ faces darken.

Song Yan Ning mockingly curved the corner of her lips. Just like Yang Xin’er in character.

“She is your sister, how can you say that about her?” Yang Lisheng reprimanded sternly.

Li Meixiang pulled Song Yan Ning into her embrace and gently patted her back, “Xiao Ning, don’t be sad. In our eyes, you are the most beautiful, incomparable to anyone else.” Xin’er was really out of line to raise a child this way.

“Grandma, I’m not sad,” Song Yan Ning hugged Li Meixiang and shook her head with a smile. How could she possibly care about Song Yanxue’s words?

“Apologize!” Qin Yushen looked coldly at Song Yanxue.

Song Yanxue was startled when she heard what Qin Yushen had said. She could dismiss anyone else, but she had not expected that Brother Yushen would also side with that “ugly monster.”

A feeling of injustice surged in her heart, and she glared fiercely at Song Yan Ning, saying defiantly, “She is indeed ugly, otherwise why would my mother have sent her away?” It was all because of that ugly monster that Brother Yushen was treating her this way.

“That’s outrageous, I’m going to find Xinxin and Yufeng and ask how they raise their daughter,” Yang Lisheng huffed coldly, striding toward the Song family mansion.

Li Meixiang looked at Song Yanxue with disappointment and followed Yang Lisheng, holding Song Yan Ning’s hand. She was also angry, but since it was Mr. Song’s birthday celebration today, she still needed to try and persuade her husband not to be too impulsive.

Song Yanxue snorted in defiance and looked at the trio of Yang Lisheng with disdain in her eyes. She didn’t care about them; what difference did having grandparents make? She was a member of the Song family, with or without grandparents.

Seeing Qin Yushen catching up, Song Yanxue quickly followed him, looking at him with a sad face, “Brother Yushen, they are all bullying me.”

Qin Yushen glanced at Song Yanxue, the coldness in his eyes showing nothing but disgust for her, “You deserve it!”

Song Yanxue could not believe what she heard from Qin Yushen. Could it be that Brother Yushen liked that ugly monster?

Thinking of this possibility, a surge of anger and unwillingness rose in Song Yanxue’s heart. She was determined to make that ugly monster pay.

Yang Xin’er was chatting with guests when she saw Yang Lisheng and the others arrive and smiled slightly at Liu Xiang, “Mrs. Lin, please excuse me for a moment.”

“Go ahead, Mrs. Song,” Mrs. Lin responded with a smile, nodding her head. It was normal for Yang Xin’er to be busy as the host of the banquet.

Yang Xin’er nodded slightly and walked toward Yang Lisheng and the others. She couldn’t let anyone know that Song Yan Ning was her daughter, else she would be utterly ashamed.

“Mom, Dad, you’re here!” Yang Xin’er stopped as she approached Yang Lisheng and his group.

“Hmph!” Yang Lisheng snorted unhappily. If it weren’t for Mr. Song’s birthday banquet, he would have seriously questioned her about how she was raising her daughter.

Yang Xin’er frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure in her eyes, “Dad, what’s wrong? Who made you angry?” If it weren’t for her father’s insistence on inviting them, she wouldn’t even want them to come. She knew they would definitely bring Song Yan Ning along.

Li Meixiang gently pushed Yang Lisheng and smiled, “Xin’er, where is your grandfather?”

“He’s over there, Mom, Dad, I’ll take you there. Xiao Xue, take your sister to your room to play for a while.” Seeing Song Yanxue approaching, Yang Xin’er instructed.

“Okay, Mom,” Song Yanxue nodded in response. Watch how she’ll deal with that ugly monster later.

“No need, Xiao Ning hasn’t met her grandfather yet; we’ll take her to see him,” Yang Lisheng said, leading Li Meixiang and Song Yan Ning toward where Mr. Song was.

Yang Xin’er quickly stopped the three of them, “Dad, that area is filled with distinguished guests, it’s not convenient for children right now. Xiao Xue, Xiao Li, and Xiao Yang haven’t gone to wish Grandfather a happy birthday either. Let’s have the four siblings go together later. Let Xiao Ning play with Xiao Xue and the others for a bit, it’s good for them to bond.”

Yang Lisheng and Li Meixiang saw the sense in Yang Xin’er’s words.

Li Meixiang, recalling the harsh words Song Yanxue had said about Song Yan Ning earlier, looked worriedly at Song Yanxue, “Xiao Xue, make sure to take good care of Xiao Ning, and do not bully her, do you understand?” They are real sisters; they should be able to get along in no time.
