Chapter 225: 225, watching a play Chapter 225: 225, watching a play Song Yan Ning and her group had just finished eating and were walking out of the restaurant. They had already planned to go riding and have a barbecue at the club in the afternoon.
“Wait!” Song Yanli saw a familiar person across the street. After thinking, she immediately recognized that it was Xiao Lan.
“What’s wrong?” Song Yan Ning felt the anger emanating from Song Yanli and looked at her curiously.
“That woman is the one who ruined mom and dad’s relationship.” Song Yanli pointed across the street where Xiao Lan, who seemed to be waiting for someone, was standing.
Song Yan Ning followed Song Yanli’s pointing direction and saw a woman dressed in a white Chanel dress, with long hair over her shoulders, delicate facial features, holding a parasol, standing in front of a coffee shop. Indeed, she was pretty enough to be a mistress.
At that moment, a young man wearing a pink T-shirt and ripped jeans walked over and pointed at the coffee shop, saying, “Let’s talk inside.”
“Okay.” Xiao Lan nodded and followed the young man into the coffee shop.
Song Yan Ning raised an eyebrow, a hint of interest flashing in her eyes, “Let’s go to the coffee shop and watch this unfold.” The young man looked pretty, possibly having some special relationship with Xiao Lan. It was likely that the money Yufeng gave to Xiao Lan was all spent on this young man.
Song Yan Ning and her companions walked into the coffee shop and sat down not far from Xiao Lan and the young man.
“I’ll go order the drinks, what do you guys want?” Qu Lingfeng asked everyone.
Looking at the menu on the wall by the counter, Song Yan Ning replied, “I’ll have a vanilla latte pudding.”
“Same for me,” Qin Yushen said.
“Let’s have the same,” Ye Qi and Fang Jingxing, not bothering to think any further since they were there to watch the drama, agreed.
After thinking for a moment, Song Yanli said, “I’ll have a Frappuccino.” She didn’t like coffee much, and it always kept her awake at night.
“Okay,” Qu Lingfeng responded with a smile and walked toward the counter.
“Has she seen you before?” Song Yan Ning turned her head to look at Song Yanli.
Song Yanli shook her head, “I don’t know; I saw her picture on mom’s phone.”
Song Yan Ning nodded, took out her phone, turned on the camera, and walked toward Xiao Lan and the young man.
As she reached near Xiao Lan, Song Yan Ning quickly placed her phone in a position to film. Although they were sitting close to Xiao Lan and the young man, their voices couldn’t be heard. This position was perfect for clearly capturing the interaction between the two and also recording their conversation.
Song Yan Ning glanced at Xiao Lan, then walked back to her seat and sat down.
“Xiao Ning, what were you just doing?” Song Yanli had only seen Song Yan Ning walk over and had not noticed her placing the phone.
“Put the phone there, and in a moment it will record everything they say,” Song Yan Ning said with a smile as she glanced at Qin Yushen. Only he should have been able to see her placing the phone just now.
Qin Yushen smiled faintly. He loved seeing her mischievous side.
Song Yanli glanced in Xiao Lan’s direction and asked worriedly, “Won’t it be discovered?” After all, a phone isn’t small and it’s easy to spot.
Song Yan Ning shook her head and chuckled, “Don’t worry.” The phone she had placed could only be seen by her and Qin Yushen.
“Oh!” Song Yanli nodded and her eyes uneasily shifted back towards Xiao Lan.
A young man holding two cups of coffee walked back to his seat, sat down opposite Xiao Lan, and handed her one of the cups, “What are your plans?” They had planned for a long time to trap Yufeng, but they didn’t expect the Song Family to pull this move and disrupt all their plans.
“I don’t know,” Xiao Lan shook her head, her feelings conflicted now. She wanted to leave Yufeng, yet she was worried this might be a scheme by the Song Family to test her, deliberately released this news.
Yang Xin’er had given birth to four children for Yufeng; the Song Family would definitely care about her. Maybe it was Yang Xin’er who suggested this, to make Yufeng see whether she truly cared about him. But she also feared, if this wasn’t a plot, then following Yufeng would only bring hardship. It’s not that she was unwilling to face hardship, but her heart wasn’t with Yufeng. If it weren’t for Zhao Yi, she would never have seduced Yufeng.
“Our company just needs one more sum of money to get on the right track, think of a way,” Zhao Yi said as he grasped Xiao Lan’s hand. During a phone call earlier, Xiao Lan had agreed to transfer two million to him.
Xiao Lan looked at Zhao Yi with a complex look and finally spoke, “I’ll think of a way.” She couldn’t believe Yufeng didn’t have any assets.
“Xiao Lan, once our company is on track, let’s leave Yufeng and get married, okay?” Zhao Yi looked at her affectionately.
“Mm,” Xiao Lan nodded, her face breaking into a happy smile. For Zhao Yi, she was willing to do anything.
Song Yan Ning scoffed. This Zhao Yi was clearly a scoundrel; he must have more women than just Xiao Lan. And Xiao Lan was a pitifully naive woman. However, every pitiful person has their detestable side.
“Xiao Ning, should I call Dad and tell him about this?” Although Song Yanli couldn’t hear Xiao Lan and Zhao Yi’s conversation, seeing their intimate behavior, she knew their relationship was deep.
“It’s not time yet, some people never learn unless they suffer a bit,” Song Yan Ning said, lips curling in a faint smile, a hint of anticipation in her eyes. She was very much looking forward to seeing Yufeng’s expression when he found out the truth, but it was still too early.
Setting down her coffee, Song Yan Ning stood up, “We’ve seen enough drama, let’s go.” They had seen all there was to see, and recorded everything that needed to be recorded; there was no need to waste more time here.
Song Yanli glanced at Xiao Lan and Zhao Yi, nodded, and followed Song Yan Ning and the others out. She was somewhat worried about her father; he would definitely be upset knowing about this.
“Xiao Ning, you didn’t take your phone, let me get it for you,” Song Yanli suddenly remembered Song Yan Ning’s phone as they left the café. She hadn’t seen Song Yan Ning retrieve her phone when they were leaving.
“No need, Yushen already got it for me,” Song Yan Ning said, pulling out her phone from her pocket.
“Oh!” Song Yanli nodded after a moment’s hesitation, “Could you send me that video?” Even if she couldn’t show it to her father, she could show her mother, who would be really pleased to see it.
“Mm,” Song Yan Ning took out her phone and sent the video to Song Yanli. She knew what Song Yanli wanted the video for, but it had nothing to do with her. This was Yang Xin’er and Yufeng’s issue; whether they split up or stayed together didn’t affect her at all.
