Chapter 28 The Secret of Birth
The banquet today was in fact, a discussion Lu Lan had with Qiao Yue beforehand. And the purpose of it was to curry favor with Qiao Yue, and at the same time, to teach Song Ye a lesson.
But who would"ve thought that the timid Song Ye that lacked existence would dared to openly go against her parents and took the upper hand and slapped Qiao Yue first.
The surroundings had gone out of control when that slapping sounds were heard.
Lu Lan jumped over, wanting to pull Song Ye"s hair. But the latter had dodged to the side, causing her to fall onto Qiao Yue.
“Ouch.”
The impact of the rolling purple yam was so great that Qiao Yue"s spine almost broke from it. The table was also crushed and all the plates of food had came crashing down the floor, making a mess.
“Mum.”
“Mother.”
The son and daughter beside her rushed up and exclaimed while trying to help her up. Song Cheng En and Song Cheng Mei had even began raising their voice,
“How dare you hit my mother with your low upbringing. Let me tell you, we of the *first family will not let you go just like that.”
While leaving behind those words, Song Cheng En kept on glaring at Song Ye"s face. When she entered and was compared to him, he had felt unhappy about it. Even though they are relatives, she"s still not worthy to be compared to him.
Song Ye was able to understand his mentality from his glare full of hatred. With a cold smile on her face, she then turned around stepping onto the food sc.r.a.pes and was about to walk out of the room.
She did not want to bother herself with a bunch of mad dogs, but there were still some that can"t read the situation and tried to mess with her.
“Song Ye, you can"t go.”
Song Yuan Zhi raised his arms to block Song Ye"s way, the anger on his face was the same as everyone in the room,
“With how this place turned out to be like this because of you, and you over here still have that att.i.tude. Let me tell you, if you don"t apologize to your eldest aunt, don"t you even think about stepping out of this door.”
Compared to others, Song Yuan Zhi"s mood was the worst. Song Ye was still a child, and so all the blame of faults she committed will fall onto him. The compensation for the food in this room was enough to make him feel stressed out.
So, Song Ye can"t go. As long as this deal is done with, Qiao Yue then won"t sought any trouble with him.
“Get out of my way. Don"t let me repeat that for the second time.”
Song Ye frowned, her voice was so cold it was almost as if it can freeze people up.
If her colleagues in her past life see her acting like this, they would have been so scared that they would be running away for their life. Because they knew, Song Ye can be really scary when she was angry.
But Song Yuan Zhi did not know and took out the att.i.tude of a father towards his child, stretching his hands out wanting to pull onto her arm,
“You too don"t make me repeat it the second time. Hurry up and apologize to your el- Ah!”
Before he can finish his sentence, Song Yuan Zhi suddenly felt pain in his wrist and his whole body was instantly lifted from the ground, with his right arm going around 180°. When his back hits the floor, he was in so much pain he screamed.
Song Ye had single handedly beat him down and under the stupefied looks of everyone, the pair of white shoe then stepped onto the man"s chest. Looking down, she was able to see the confused and the painful struggling look on his face, she then coldly said,
“Surprised? The blood flowing in me is not even that of the Song family. Even if I were born to be cruel and cold, it would not be weird at all.”
When she had said those, Song Yuan Zhi who was on the floor widened his eyes and forgot to struggle,
“You…”
“Don"t ask how I know about it.”
Song Ye moved her glance away and swept it over Lu Lan, Song Ting Ting and Song Mei Mei, one by one. Her voice becoming more and more colder,
“I should be grateful that you had saved me that year. But I had began to do the house ch.o.r.es when I was only three years old and serving Song Ting Ting and Song Mei Mei in ensuring they had an easy life. I even went out to work during winter holidays to help the family out. I ate even the leftovers that all of you left behind, wore what all of you threw out. When Lu Lan was slightly dissatisfied she would even beat me up and condemned me. When all of this had happened in front of you, you had not even tried to stop it. The responsibilities and grat.i.tude towards the Song family have been fully repaid in these fifteen years. So, from now onward, there"s nothing between us anymore.”
The cold and calm voice resounded through the room. The shock that everyone had felt from the beginning turned into them losing their words. Although Song Ye was not of the Song family and they had discriminated against her all these years, they had never known that Song Yuan Zhi and his family had abused Song Ye until that point.
While Lu Lan mother and daughters group had gone silent from the guilt, Song Yuan Zhi"s train of thoughts were different from others. He was on the floor unable to move, but his face was that of impatience,
“Song Ye, you knew where she"s at, don"t you. You tell me, tell me….”
The ‘her" from his mouth is none other than Song Ye"s biological mother. On that year, she had escaped to Yun Cheng with Song Ye in her arms. When she met Song Yuan Zhi, she then left her daughter in his care. And Song Yuan Zhi had fallen in love at first sight with her to the point that he had swore not to get married in his life. At that time, Grandpa Song was so angry by this he almost had a heart attack and even said he wanted to burn the calamity called Song Ye. In the end, as he waited for a long time without any news from her, he then had to marry the uncultured Lu Lan when his age went up.
Even though so many years had pa.s.sed, the woman was still in his heart.
Even the most hateful person will be pitiable at some point. The Song Yuan Zhi at this moment was just a man that was crazy due to love, but,
“I will never tell you anything about her.”
Living through her life twice, she had never know what was love and desire. Even if she didn"t know, she won"t ever think that Song Yuan Zhi"s longing is any form of love. If not he would not have distanced himself away from her after Lu Lan purposefully hidden her face.
And that woman, her biological mother, she will look for her.
But, now is still not the time to do so.
Ignoring the pretentious face of the people in the room, Song Ye turned around and opened the door of the room.
At the moment, the door had closed, Lu Lan then regained her senses,
“Can"t go, we can"t let her get out of here. Song Yuan Zhi, what do we do if she was to get out of here!”
This roar had everyone pulled back to the reality from the depths of their thoughts. Looking at the messy situation in front of him and thinking about the compensation for it, he then hurriedly got up,
“Song Ye!”
When he pulled open the door, Song Yuan Zhi who had a messy appearance now crashed into someone, and it was not Song Ye. The man standing in front of the door of the room was wearing a formal suit with light reflecting from the leather. Even if he did not know the brand of the clothing, Song Yuan Zhi had subconsciously felt inferior when he saw the watch on the man"s wrist and was about to bow down to apologize. But when his eyesight moved, he saw someone familiar,
“Song, Song Ye…”
Zhao Zhen, who felt pain from his chest that was caused by how hard Song Yuan Zhi crashed into him had frowned and wanted to reprimand him. But to his surprise, he heard the man calling out to Song Ye"s name, so, he reflexively turned his head towards the girl in front of him,
“Song Ye, do the both of you know each other?”
“Mmn.”
Song Ye did not deny it. Not wanting to delve deeper into the topic, she then looked towards the man beside Zhao Zhen,
“If Director w.a.n.g believes me, do leave a seat for me in the next event.”
w.a.n.g Yu Tang then laughed,
“I had heard that Director Zhao had someone capable to direct him. I never would"ve thought that I would have the luck to meet with you today. Do not worry, Miss Song, at that time, I will personally come over to send the invitation out. I actually liked the Apple Green quite a lot, but it was such a pity that there were members of the Qu family there. Haha, if there are any other good stocks, do leave one for me.”
“Haha, don"t worry about it, Director w.a.n.g.”
Director w.a.n.g? Director Zhao? Apple Green?
Song Yuan Zhi was confused when he heard all of those terms. When did his daughter Song Ye get to know these people?
Note:
1. First Family=大房 the first of the whole family (in tis context, it would be the eldest amongst the siblings of the same family with the same surname/family name, in some cases also applies to families with concubines)
