Chapter 215: 215, One’s own fault Chapter 215: 215, One’s own fault Yang Zhengdong was violently thrown to the ground, the impact of the landing causing him intense pain in his chest and abdomen, and a metallic taste in his throat. Unable to hold back, he spat out a large mouthful of bright red liquid mixed with several teeth.
Seeing Qin Yushen walking toward him, Yang Zhengdong’s faced turned pale with fear. Enduring the severe pain, he slowly moved backward, “I was wrong… Please let me go this time… I apologize… I’m sorry, I’m sorry…” He already regretted provoking the other man. Despite his young age, Yushen was incredibly formidable. Twenty people had surrounded him and failed to injure him at all. Instead, he had knocked them all down.
Qin Yushen stepped up to Yang Zhengdong, planted a foot on his hand, and looked at him with an icy gleam in his eyes, “This is the last time.” If it hadn’t been for being on the busy street and the potential trouble that could follow, he would not have let him off so easily. Especially after he had dared interrupt Xiao Ning while she was putting on his hair tie.
“I promise there won’t be a next time, absolutely no next time. I swear,” Yang Zhengdong quickly assured. He knew now just how formidable his adversary was; he’d be insane to trouble this man again.
Qin Yushen snorted coldly, stepped over to Song Yan Ning, took her hand, and started walking through the crowd of onlookers toward the direction of the hotel.
“Xiao Ning.” Qin Yushen looked at Song Yan Ning with a hint of anticipation in his eyes. He was still thinking about the hair tie.
Song Yan Ning rolled her eyes silently, took the hair tie from her pocket, “Give me your hand.”
Qin Yushen immediately showed a delighted smile and extended his hand to Song Yan Ning.
Song Yan Ning shook her head with a smile, wrapped the hair tie around Qin Yushen’s wrist, “Satisfied now?” Sometimes Qin Yushen could be quite childish.
“Yes!” Qin Yushen nodded, happily looking at the hair tie on his wrist. From now on, anyone who saw the hair tie on his hand would know he was taken.
Lisheng and Li Meixiang were having dinner when they heard a knock at the door, assuming it was someone from the village who had fallen ill and came to seek treatment.
Xiang stepped forward to open the door and saw a haggard middle-aged woman outside.
“Xiang, who is it?” Li Meixiang walked out from inside.
“Mom, it’s me.” Yang Xin’er came up to Li Meixiang crying, reaching out to hug her. She had reached a point of no return with Yufeng, who was adamant about getting a divorce. Yet she truly didn’t want to divorce, so she came to ask her parents to journey to Beijing and persuade Yufeng not to divorce her. Yufeng had always held great respect for her parents, and her father had some connection with Yufeng’s father, so perhaps he could mediate the situation somehow.
“What happened?” Li Meixiang tenderly patted Yang Xin’er’s shoulder, looking at her with concern. Although Xin’er had disappointed them before, she was still their daughter, and it hurt her to see her like this.
“Yufeng wants to divorce me, he has someone else now,” Yang Xin’er’s grief grew as she spoke. She couldn’t understand how the love she and Yufeng had shared for so many years could just vanish like that.
Li Meixiang frowned, “Haven’t you and Yufeng always had a good relationship? How could he do such a thing?” If Yufeng and Xinxin weren’t getting along, Yufeng wouldn’t have listened to Xinxin in the first place and sent Xiao Ning over to them.
“All of this is because of Song Yan Ning. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have been sent away. If I hadn’t been sent away, none of this would have happened today.” Yang Xin’er thought about the past, biting her teeth with hatred.
Li Meixiang withdrew her hand and pushed Yang Xin’er away from her embrace, looking at her with disappointment on her face, “I can’t believe after all these years, you’re still the same. Xiao Ning has done nothing to you. Why do you always look at her unfavorably? What has she ever done to offend you?” Xiao Ning is so smart, so well-behaved, and so filial to them, where could you find a child like that?
“You should leave, we don’t welcome you here.” Yang Lisheng’s cold voice came from behind.
“Dad, Mom, I’m your daughter. Are you really going to drive me away for someone else?” Yang Xin’er shook her head, looking sadly at Li Meixiang and Yang Lisheng. Am I not even better than that freak?
“Xiao Ning is not someone else, she is our granddaughter. In our hearts, Xiao Ning is the most important,” Li Meixiang and Yang Lisheng looked at Yang Xin’er with disappointment. They thought she would change a bit with age, but it turned out she was still the same.
Yang Xin’er shook her head in utter sorrow, sneering at Yang Lisheng and Li Meixiang, “So, for her, you’re going to disown your daughter? If you saw me dying, would you not feel the slightest pain? In your hearts, am I not even comparable to a stranger?” She thought they were her last resort, but they wanted to drive her out because of that Song Yan Ning.
“Xin’er, we just hope that you wouldn’t target Xiao Ning. Xiao Ning is a good child. It was your mistake to send her over in the first place, but Xiao Ning has never blamed you,” Li Meixiang couldn’t help but feel soft-hearted. After all, Xin’er was connected by blood and seeing her in distress also made her feel bad.
Yang Xin’er scoffed derisively, “She may not have blamed me, but because of her, Xiao Xue was sent away, and I was forced to leave the Song Family. If I hadn’t left the Song Family, Yufeng would never have had someone else and would not have divorced me. All of this is because of her.”
“It’s all your own fault,” Yang Lisheng snorted coldly. He was clearly aware of what had happened and who was at fault.
“You call her out. I want to ask her what grudge she has against me that she would harm me this way.” Yang Xin’er thought about how she had been here for so long and yet had not seen Song Yan Ning.
“Xiao Ning is not at home,” Li Meixiang sighed deeply. Feeling heavy-hearted and blocked up. How did she end up with such a selfish and self-serving daughter?
“Not at home? I bet she’s done so many shameful things, she doesn’t dare face me,” Yang Xin’er said and then stormed into the house. Song Yan Ning had caused her so much trouble. There was no way she would let her go.
“Yang Xin’er, how long are you going to keep causing trouble?” Yang Lisheng angrily followed her into the house.
Li Meixiang shook her head. Now she understood why Yufeng had divorced Xin’er— with such a temper, how many men could endure it?
“Song Yan Ning, come out! Hiding won’t help, I will find you,” Yang Xin’er pushed open a room, saw the decor inside, and knew it was Song Yan Ning’s room, so she rushed in.
