Chapter 303: Three hundred and two, double standard Chapter 303: Three hundred and two, double standard Mr. Song glanced at the chess pieces on the board and burst out laughing as he put back the chess piece he had just picked up, “I lost! You are really amazing, little girl!”
“Too kind!” Song Yan Ning stood up. “I’m going back.”
“Alright!” Mr. Song nodded his head. The more he interacted with Xiao Ning, the more he felt how exceptional she was. It was just unfortunate that she was unwilling to come back; otherwise, the Song Family would have advanced even more because of her. Ah! He regretted once again that he hadn’t been able to stop his wife and Xinxin.
Qin Yushen opened the door and saw Song Yanxue sitting at the doorway, frowning. Why hadn’t she gone back yet?
Upon hearing the door open and seeing Qin Yushen, Song Yanxue’s face immediately lit up with joy, “Brother Yushen, I knew you were home.”
“Is there something you need?” Qin Yushen asked indifferently, his tone clearly distant.
“Brother Yushen, I was beaten by Song Yan Ning, and I can no longer cultivate,” Song Yanxue’s eyes slowly filled with tears as she looked pitifully at Qin Yushen. She had come to seek comfort and also to inform him of Song Yan Ning’s misdeeds, making him aware that Song Yan Ning was not a good person.
Qin Yushen’s lips slightly curved, “Go back, I have other things to handle.” If it weren’t for the relationship between the Qin and Song families, he would have done so earlier. Regardless of who was backing Song Yanxue, her continuing to cultivate was not a good thing.
“Brother Yushen, I’m in so much pain. Song Yan Ning not only beat me up but also had her servant throw me out,” Song Yanxue complained, tears falling more violently as she recalled the incident.
Qin Yushen looked at Song Yanxue with an expression devoid of any emotion, “From now on, call me Qin Yushen. We are not that close. Someone! Take Miss Song out.”
“Brother Yushen!” Song Yanxue looked at Qin Yushen in disbelief. How could he become so heartless? It must be Song Yan Ning’s doing. But she didn’t dare to trouble Song Yan Ning any further.
“The next time I hear you calling me Brother Yushen, I will no longer consider the Song family’s face,” Qin Yushen’s eyes filled with an impenetrable chill.
Song Yanxue couldn’t help but shiver. Brother Yushen is so frightening! But why do I still like him so much?
“Miss Song!” The servant approached Song Yanxue.
Song Yanxue glanced at Qin Yushen one last time, slowly got up from the ground, and walked towards the outside, looking back three steps at a time. No matter how Brother Yushen changed, she still liked him, and that would never change in this lifetime.
Qin Yushen took out his cell phone and dialed the only number on it. This phone number was only known to Xiao Ning.
“Hello!” The pleasant voice of Song Yan Ning came from the phone.
“Song Yanxue said you crippled her,” Qin Yushen said with a pleased laugh.
“Mm, I just left the Song Family, and I’ve already gotten the Cultivation Secret Book.”
“My Xiao Ning is truly awesome!” Qin Yushen’s smile deepened.
“Don’t you feel a bit sorry for her?” Song Yan Ning teased with a playful laugh.
Qin Yushen helplessly shook his head, “The only person who can make me feel sorry is you. What do I have to do with anyone else?”
“I don’t need your pity,” Song Yan Ning pouted haughtily.
“You are the one I love, and if I don’t care for you, who will I care for?” Qin Yushen smiled. He really wanted to hold her in his arms and stroke her soft, shiny hair.
“Gross!” Song Yan Ning rolled her eyes speechlessly, but her smile turned even sweeter.
Song Yanxue came home crying and went to Mr. Song’s study. “Grandpa, can you show me the Cultivation Secret Book? I’m having some issues with my cultivation.”
“What happened?” Mr. Song frowned, looking at Song Yanxue, who was crying pitifully.
“I was punched by Song Yan Ning, and now I can’t cultivate,” Song Yanxue sobbed. Only through cultivation could she have a chance to win back Brother Yushen.
“Why would Xiao Ning hit you?” Given his understanding of Xiao Ning, she wouldn’t hit someone without a reason.
“I went to see my grandparents, and Xiao Ning got jealous when she saw me and punched me. Then she had Xiang throw me out.” She obviously couldn’t tell the truth, or else Grandpa would never help her.
“Tell the truth,” Mr. Song wasn’t going to believe Song Yanxue’s words.
“I’m telling the truth,” Song Yanxue said, lowering her head, unable to meet Mr. Song’s eyes.
“Go back to your room and reflect on yourself. When you’re ready to tell the truth, come find me again,” Mr. Song shook his head in disappointment. He realized how different Xiao Xue and Xiao Ning were. Even if Xiao Xue cultivated, her personality would ruin her, and even if the Song Family were handed over to her, there wouldn’t be much change.
“Grandpa, why don’t you believe me? Song Yan Ning really did hit me,” Song Yanxue said, feeling wronged. Brother Yushen didn’t believe her, and neither did Grandpa.
“What I want to know is the reason Xiao Ning hit you,” Mr. Song said seriously.
Avoiding Mr. Song’s sharp gaze, Song Yanxue hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, “I went to find Song Yan Ning, hoping she would stop clinging to Brother Yushen, so she hit me.”
“Who Xiao Shen likes to be with is his business,” Mr. Song said coldly. He would choose Xiao Ning if he were in the same situation.
“But Brother Yushen and I grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and the older generations of the Song Family and the Qin Family have always tacitly approved our relationship,” Song Yanxue argued.
“That’s enough, stop seeking Xiao Shen from now on,” Mr. Song waved his hand and turned to the butler, “Bring the secret book.”
“Yes!” The butler responded and walked towards a small room in the study.
Song Yanxue watched incredulously as Mr. Song favored Song Yan Ning, “Grandpa, I love Brother Yushen, and I won’t let anyone take him from me.”
Seeing the butler bringing the secret book, Song Yanxue snatched it, “I will definitely become very powerful in the future, and Grandpa, you just wait and see. I will definitely surpass Song Yan Ning.” Song Yan Ning was at best an Ancient Martial Cultivator, while she was a Cultivator—there was a world of difference between them. Like her and Song Yan Ning, she was the cloud in the sky while Song Yan Ning was doomed to be the mud on the ground, only able to look up to her.
Mr. Song watched Song Yanxue’s retreating back and sighed. It was better she couldn’t cultivate; otherwise, with her temperament, she would definitely make big mistakes.
Song Yanxue returned to her room and immediately opened the secret book to start cultivating. She was startled when she saw the content—it wasn’t the book she had given Grandpa. What was going on?
Song Yanxue flipped through a few more pages, stood up furiously, and rushed to Mr. Song’s courtyard. She had to find out where her real Cultivation Secret Book had gone.
