Chapter 78: It has nothing to do with me. Chapter 78: It has nothing to do with me. Song Yan Ning scanned the crowd, capturing everyone’s expressions, and smiled at Song Yanli, “Thank you! I have no intention of staying.”
Song Yan Ning’s response stunned many present. In a prominent family like the Song Family, being a servant was envied, let alone being the master.
“Why?” Song Yanli looked at Song Yan Ning, puzzled. Could it be that Xiao Ning was holding a grudge about the past, and that’s why she didn’t want to return?
Yang Xin’er and Song Yanxue contemptuously sneered. They didn’t believe Song Yan Ning didn’t want to return. No matter how well she might live in Yang City, could it compare to life with the Song Family? There, she wouldn’t have to lift a finger; everything was taken care of, and she could live a life of comfort without the hustle of everyday life.
Song Yan Ning curved her lips into a smile, “This place doesn’t belong to me, nor do I belong here.” The Song Family meant nothing in her eyes; she had never been impressed by them.
“Xiao Ning, Grandfather hopes you can come back, he will compensate you,” Mr. Song earnestly assured her. He truly hoped she would return.
Song Yan Ning shook her head, walked over to Yang Lisheng and Li Meixiang, and took their hands, “I feel that I am living well now and don’t want to change.” She had her grandparents; everyone else was dispensable to her.
“Xiao Ning, you must be reluctant to leave your grandparents, right? If you agree to stay, your grandparents will certainly stay in Beijing with you, right? Mom! Dad!” Song Yufeng turned to Yang Lisheng and Li Meixiang. If they agreed to stay in Beijing, he would make every effort to buy that courtyard house.
Yang Lisheng and Li Meixiang nodded slightly. They were willing to do anything for Xiao Ning. They had brought the courtyard house and now had a place to live in Beijing. However, they respected Xiao Ning’s choice.
Yang Xin’er gave Song Yufeng a displeased look. He knew she didn’t like Song Yan Ning, yet he still interfered.
This time, Song Yufeng ignored Yang Xin’er and looked at Song Yan Ning, waiting for her response. He had always felt guilty towards this daughter and hoped she would return so he could make it up to her.
Yang Xin’er bit her teeth in dissatisfaction and turned her head away. Once the banquet was over, she would make him pay.
Song Yan Ning looked at Yang Lisheng and Li Meixiang and smiled, “My decision won’t change.” It wasn’t that she held a grudge for being sent away by the Song Family, but that she genuinely disliked them.
Mr. Song sighed helplessly, “Alright, I respect your choice.” She was still young; perhaps when she was older, she would understand the benefits of returning to the Song Family.
Several elders admired Song Yan Ning. They liked her temper, it was just a pity she wasn’t their granddaughter.
Suppressing her anger and jealousy, Song Yanxue walked up to Mr. Song, clasped his arm, “Grandfather, happy birthday! Xiao Xue has prepared a special gift for you today.” She wanted the grandfather and everyone present to see that she was better than Song Yan Ning.
“What gift has Xiao Xue prepared for Grandfather?” Mr. Song patted Song Yanxue’s hand indulgently. He was fond of all his grandchildren.
“I’d like to play a piece for you, but I have an even better idea now,” Song Yanxue glanced at Song Yan Ning, a scheming glint in her eyes.
“Oh?” Mr. Song raised an eyebrow, interested.
“Xiao Xue was thinking, since there are many children of Xiao Xue’s age here today, we could have a draw. Whatever is drawn, that person performs. It could add some fun to today’s birthday feast. Of course, this is just a spontaneous idea, depending on whether everyone is willing to participate or not.” Song Yanxue revealed her plan. Her main goal was to show the guests the difference between Song Yan Ning, who grew up in the countryside, and those who grew up in major families.”
“This idea is indeed interesting.”
“I also think it’s quite interesting.”
“It’s fun, it’s just that my kid is ignorant and doesn’t know anything.”
“Everyone, the most important thing is to have fun!” Seeing all the elders interested, Song Yanxue felt even more proud.
“That’s true. Mr. Song, what do you think?”
Mr. Song smiled and nodded, “Since nobody has any objections, I naturally agree. Xiao Xue, you can go ahead and prepare.”
“Okay, grandpa! Xiao Xue promises to complete the task and make you happy and satisfied.” Song Yanxue saluted, then playfully stuck out her tongue at Mr. Song and grabbed Song Yanli, “Xiao Li, let’s go together.”
“Hold on!” Song Yanli stopped Song Yanxue and walked over to Song Yan Ning, “Xiao Ning, let’s go together.” She hoped to spend more time with her little sister to enhance their affection.
Song Yan Ning was about to refuse when she heard Li Meixiang say, “Xiao Ning, go have fun with Xiao Xue and Xiao Li.” They are sisters and should foster a closer relationship.
Song Yan Ning reluctantly nodded, “Let’s go.”
Qin Yushen walked over to Song Yan Ning and followed them.
Seeing Qin Yushen follow, Song Yan Ning turned and gave him a teasing look. Did this guy not realize that this would drive Song Yanxue crazy?
Qin Yushen smiled nonchalantly. He only did what he wanted to, never caring about others’ thoughts.
Song Yanxue, seeing the exchange of looks between Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen, stomped her foot in anger, her face turning red, then quickly walked ahead with Song Yanli. So ugly, yet daring to seduce her Brother Yushen, she would definitely teach this freak a lesson soon.
“Are you not going to placate her?” Song Yan Ning asked Qin Yushen with a mischievous smile.
“Why should I care?” Qin Yushen looked indifferent. Even though he might appear as a child, his soul was that of an adult. How could he possibly care about a child that had nothing to do with him? As for Song Yan Ning, he felt they were similar; she knew how to arrange formations and use the Qi-guided Needle, she couldn’t be just a normal child. He wondered about her identity before taking over the body.
Song Yan Ning smiled and walked in the direction where Song Yanxue and Song Yanli had left.
Qin Yushen’s smile deepened slightly, and he stepped forward to catch up with Song Yan Ning.
Yang Xin’er was really about to lose her mind at this point, but as today’s host, she had to suppress her anger, forcing a polite smile and accommodating everyone.
“Mrs. Song, that little girl just now is also your daughter, right? How come I’ve never seen her before?”
“That girl doesn’t look anything like you or your husband at all. Could there have been a mix-up?”
“You didn’t send her away just because she’s not good-looking, did you?” Various questions came one after another.
