Chapter 231: 231, Give Up Chapter 231: 231, Give Up He Xiong walked over and sat down next to the sofa, propped his feet on the coffee table, and reached for the teapot on the table to pour himself a cup of tea, “You approached Song Yufeng just for money, didn’t you?” He had seen many women like her, and she had come here to get money from him.
“I am not.” Xiao Lan quietly took a step back. Those three had tricked her into coming here; their intentions were definitely not pure, and she needed to find a way to escape.
“Don’t worry, after everything is clear, we will let you leave,” He Xiong said slowly as he sipped his tea. He could clearly see Xiao Lan’s slight movements, but there were also people guarding outside the door.
“What do you want me to say?” Xiao Lan suppressed the fear in her heart, but she couldn’t stop her hands from trembling slightly. She had never encountered such a situation before, how could she not be afraid?
“You just have to honestly tell us your purpose for approaching Song Yufeng, as well as your relationship with that pretty boy, and we will naturally let you go. Remember, don’t try to fool us, we are not that easily deceived,” He Xiong signaled one of his men behind him with a glance.
His only reason for bringing Xiao Lan here was to complete a task assigned by Mr. Song. They would record every word Xiao Lan said, and when Song Yufeng saw the video, he would no longer be deceived by this woman.
The subordinate stepped forward and pulled Xiao Lan in front of He Xiong.
“Speak now, don’t waste our time,” He Xiong took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, pulled one out, placed it in his mouth, and lit it.
Xiao Lan knew she had no way out now and could only honestly confess. If it weren’t for her love for Zhao Yi, she wouldn’t have approached Song Yufeng for money.
Mr. Song, watching the video on his phone, curled his lips slightly. Now that Yufeng and Xinxin had reconciled, this video no longer held much value for him.
Originally, he had planned this in case Yufeng was stubbornly foolish and still intended to trust that woman. After this lesson, he believed Yufeng would not make the same mistake again.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere was very tense in the Liu family.
Liu Yiyi stood silently to one side, her eyes red and swollen, head bowed.
“Dad, will this affect our Liu family in any way?” Liu Zhiyun asked worriedly. Wen Yue had just detailed everything that had happened at the club today. Not only had Yiyi offended the Qin and Song families, but she also offended the Qu, Ye, and Fang families, whose power was not to be underestimated either.
Mr. Liu pondered for a moment, “The Qin Family and the Song Family should not be so petty.” This was just a minor friction among the children, and Qin Yushen had already reprimanded Yiyi and Wen Yue. The Qin and Song families would likely not make a big deal out of this minor incident, though apologies were definitely unavoidable.
“Zhiyun, take Wen Yue with you tomorrow to visit the Qin and Song families to apologize,” Mr. Liu instructed Liu Zhiyun. Just to be safe, it was still necessary to make this trip.
“Grandfather, why should we apologize? We are the victims here, and besides, I was the one who got hit,” Liu Yiyi couldn’t help but speak up. Her face still hurt.
Everyone in the room turned their gaze towards Liu Yiyi, their expressions displeased.
“If you hadn’t caused trouble, would we need to make such a big fuss?” Mr. Liu looked sternly at Liu Yiyi. He was truly disappointed in Yiyi, even now she didn’t realize where she was wrong. The beating she received this time was considered light; if the Qin and Song families really wanted to make an issue of it, their Liu family would face a significant impact, possibly not even able to stay in Beijing.
“Grandfather, I just liked a horse, I didn’t know who they were, and they started it,” Liu Yiyi felt she wasn’t in the wrong.
“Bang!” Mr. Liu angrily slammed his hand on the table, and sternly instructed Liu Zhiyun, “Zhiyun, arrange for Yiyi to be sent abroad, let Nianyun teach her a good lesson.” He had spoiled her too much, which led her to act so recklessly.
“Yes!” Liu Zhiyun responded. Nianyun was his sister, currently doing business in Country M, a formidable businesswoman. Sending Yiyi to her was most suitable.
“Grandfather, I don’t want to go,” Liu Yiyi’s tears immediately started to flow. She didn’t want to live abroad, nor did she want to go to Aunt Nianyun’s, who always looked at her critically whenever she visited. If she went there, she definitely wouldn’t enjoy the freedom she had in Beijing.
“You don’t have a say in this matter now, go to the ancestral hall and kneel to reflect on your actions. Only get up when you realize your mistake,” Mr. Liu ordered Liu Yiyi sternly.
“Grandfather!” Liu Yiyi looked at Mr. Liu in disbelief. No matter what mistakes she made in the past, her grandfather had always protected her, but this time, despite her being hit, not only did he not help her, he was punishing her so harshly.
“Take her away!” Mr. Liu waved his hand. He couldn’t afford to be soft-hearted anymore; otherwise, who knew if one day, the Liu family might decline due to Yiyi’s arrogance and ignorance. This lesson for Yiyi was also a warning to other members of the Liu family to behave themselves; although the Liu family was not weak in Beijing, they were certainly not the strongest, and there were countless other families in Beijing that the Liu family couldn’t afford to offend.
Yang Xinxin and Song Yufeng knelt side by side in the ancestral hall, chatting on and off. It had been a long time since they had talked like this, and it felt really good.
“Yufeng, will you really not go see that woman again?” Yang Xinxin was still a bit worried. Previously, Yufeng had been willing to give up his own family for that woman, which showed he truly cared for her.
Song Yufeng shook his head and took Yang Xinxin’s hand, “I won’t be confused again.”
Yang Xinxin smiled lightly, “Today I received a video, sent to me by Xiao Li. I wanted to send it to you, but I was afraid you wouldn’t believe me.”
“What video?” Song Yufeng asked, surprised.
Yang Xinxin took out her cellphone, opened the video previously sent by Song Yanli, “Today Xiao Li and the others went out and encountered Xiao Lan, she was with a man.”
After watching the video, Song Yufeng’s face turned ashen and he handed the phone back to Yang Xinxin, “Xinxin, I will only believe what you say from now on.” It turned out Xiao Lan had approached him just for money, her gentleness had all been an act. Now, he was truly done with Xiao Lan.
Before, he had planned to ask Xiao Lan if she had any difficulties, now he knew he was just an ATM for her. It was truly ironic.
