Chapter 219: Two hundred nineteen, I have never hated you Chapter 219: Two hundred nineteen, I have never hated you Yang Xin’er returned to the Song Family with Song Yan Ning and two others.
“Young Madam! You’re back!” a servant greeted them. She had heard rumors about the young master having someone else outside and persistently wanted to divorce the Young Madam. However, as long as the young master hadn’t divorced the Young Madam, then Yang Xin’er remained the Song Family’s Young Madam.
“Where is the young master?” Yang Xin’er had not informed Song Yufeng of her return to Beijing. Now Yufeng’s entire focus was on that other woman. Even if she called him, he rarely picked up. If he did, his words were cold and indifferent, something she couldn’t bear. Inevitably they would have a major argument, and their relationship would become even more strained.
“The young master hasn’t returned these past few days,” the servant replied, a trace of sympathy in her eyes. The young master used to come home no matter how busy he was, but now, he only returned home once every so often. There was no need to guess where he spent his time.
Yang Xin’er slowly clenched her hands, “Go tell Mr. Song that my parents and the third young miss have come.” All she could do now was endure. As long as Mr. Song sided with her, even if Yufeng liked that other woman, she couldn’t possibly step foot into the Song Family’s home.
Mr. Song had received news yesterday that Song Yan Ning would be returning to Beijing. Hearing the servant’s report, he nodded happily and walked towards the living room.
The people assigned to protect Xiao Ning reported to him that Xiao Ning had become even more outstanding. Every time she went out, if she wished to elude them, they had no means to keep up with her. He had sent the family’s elite, but to Xiao Ning, they were hardly different from ordinary people. If only she would be willing to return to the Song Family.
Not to mention the Protective Jade Pendant Xiao Ning had given him. If it hadn’t been for it, he would have left this world three years ago.
One day three years ago, he attended an old friend’s birthday celebration. Not long after he left, he heard a loud bang on the car window. Before he could react, another bang followed, and numerous shards of glass mixed with bullets flew towards him.
He knew he couldn’t escape, but just then, a white light shot out from his chest, protecting him from the bullets and the glass shards.
His companions by his side realized what was happening, quickly got out of the car, protected him, and pursued the people trying to assassinate him.
He was extremely shaken at that moment and didn’t think too much. It was only later that he realized that the Jade Pendant’s color had dimmed. He was no ignorant man, and quickly figured out that the Jade Pendant Xiao Ning gave him was not an ordinary one, but a genuine Magic Artifact.
Magic Artifacts weren’t something one could simply obtain, even within the Hidden Sect, they were extremely rare, showing just how powerful the force behind Xiao Ning was.
Hearing footsteps, Yang Xin’er knew that Mr. Song had arrived. She stood up and looked at Mr. Song, “Dad!”
Mr. Song nodded slightly, sitting down on the sofa opposite Song Yan Ning and smiled at Yang Lisheng and Li Meixiang, “It’s been a long time since you’ve come back to Beijing. Xiaoning is also on summer vacation now; you should stay longer this time.” He obviously knew why Xin’er brought her parents and Xiao Ning to Beijing; he didn’t wish for Yufeng to divorce her either, as it wouldn’t reflect well on the Song Family.
Yang Lisheng smiled and nodded, “Our main reason for coming to Beijing this time is to understand Yufeng’s thoughts.” Mr. Song certainly knew their purpose for coming to Beijing, and there was no point in hiding it.
Mr. Song sighed softly, “I also hope they can get along as husband and wife. I have already spoken to Yufeng about this.” He didn’t know what trick that woman had used to make Yufeng ignore his words as if they were nothing. Was the position of Family Head of the Song family not more important than a woman?
“Father, it’s my fault for the past behaviors, especially what I did to Xiao Ning. I truly regret it, and from now on, I will make it up to Xiao Ning and ensure she will not suffer any more grievances,” Yang Xin’er said regretfully, looking at Song Yan Ning. She had sent Xiao Ning away initially mainly because she was unattractive and she feared that the rich young ladies from other families would laugh at her.
Now that Xiao Ning has become so beautiful, bringing her out will only make others envy her. Naturally, she would not treat Xiao Ning the same way again. Moreover, whether she could retain the status of Mrs. Song also depended on Xiao Ning.
“It’s good for you to think this way,” Mr. Song nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at Song Yan Ning, “Xiao Ning, you’ll be starting middle school soon, won’t you?”
“Um,” replied Song Yan Ning.
“Have you ever thought about returning to Beijing for school?” Mr. Song smiled at her. Now that Xin’er had changed her attitude towards her, no one in the Song Family would oppose Xiao Ning’s return. His wife had suddenly fallen seriously ill and passed away a year ago, leaving him grieved for a long time. But the dead cannot be brought back to life, and there was nothing he could do.
Song Yan Ning shook her head, “I think Yang City is quite good.” She didn’t wish to have any ties to the Song Family, nor did she want to return to the Song Family.
“Xiao Ning, this is your home, haven’t you ever thought about coming back? Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Xiao Li, Xiao Yang all hope you could come back. Mom knows she was wrong before, she’ll make it up to you, please forgive Mom, okay? Come back,” Yang Xin’er looked at Song Yan Ning earnestly.
Li Meixiang looked at Yang Xin’er with relief, “Xiao Ning, after all, this is your home. Grandma knows you’ll miss us, but your Grandparents will often come to see you.” It’s good to see Xin’er acting like a mother. Of course, she was reluctant to part with Xiao Ning, but the Song Family was her home, and she inevitably had to return.
“Um,” Yang Lisheng nodded in agreement. He too hoped Xiao Ning would return to the Song Family. Though it was hard for him to let go, as long as Xiao Ning was happy, he was satisfied.
Mr. Song and Yang Xin’er both looked at Song Yan Ning, waiting for her decision.
Song Yan Ning looked at everyone and smiled faintly, “I think things are quite good now, there’s no need for a change.” Her main reason for coming to Beijing was for her grandparents; she knew they were worried about Yang Xin’er. Going with them, regardless of whether Yang Xin’er and Song Yufeng ended up divorcing, they at least tried their best.
“Xiao Ning, do you still hold a grudge against me? Is that why you won’t come back? As long as you forgive me, I’ll do anything you want,” Yang Xin’er knew it wouldn’t be easy to get Song Yan Ning’s forgiveness. After all, she had never fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother, and the one time Song Yan Ning returned to Beijing, she had treated her so harshly. Thinking about it now, she felt she had been unreasonable.
Song Yan Ning shook her head, “I have never hated you.” She wouldn’t waste her emotions on someone she didn’t care about.
“Really?” Yang Xin’er was somewhat incredulous.
