Chapter 333: 332, tit for tat Chapter 333: 332, tit for tat “But it’s already dark outside, it’s not safe,” Li Meixiang said anxiously.
“It’s okay, we’re not afraid,” Song Yanli shook her head. She was an Ancient Martial Cultivator, so she wasn’t afraid even if they encountered bad people. Plus, Ye Qi was a master of Taekwondo.
“Then how are you going to get to the train station? There’s no bus service now,” Li Meixiang glanced at the time. Due to construction, the last bus had changed to 5 pm, and it was also inconvenient to get a cab.
“I’ll take my car,” Qin Yushen took out his keys and handed them to Ye Qi. Xiao Ning had just told him about what was going on with Ye Qi and Song Yanli. He also knew about Song Yanxue being with Lu Tingxuan, and he always felt that Lu Tingxuan’s purpose in being with Song Yanxue was still because of Xiao Ning.
“Thanks!” Ye Qi took the keys and patted Qin Yushen’s shoulder.
“Grandpa, grandma, Xiao Ning, Brother Yushen, we’re leaving,” Song Yanli said goodbye to everyone. She wanted to stay here for a few more days, but what was happening with Ye Qi was more urgent. She didn’t want to meet anyone else for matchmaking, no matter how excellent they were, none could compare to Ye Qi in her heart.
“Call me if anything,” Song Yan Ning told Song Yanli.
“Okay,” Song Yanli nodded, waved at everyone, and walked out with Ye Qi. They didn’t know if they could convince the Song Family this time, but no matter the obstacles, they weren’t afraid, they would stick it out to the end.
Upon returning to the Song Family, Song Yanli and Ye Qi went to Mr. Song’s study.
“Grandpa!” Song Yanli, holding Ye Qi’s hand, came before Mr. Song.
She felt a bit timid and took a deep breath to muster her courage to meet Mr. Song’s piercing eyes. She had to be brave to fight for her own happiness.
Mr. Song glanced at their joined hands and squinted slightly, “Are you two together?”
“Yes, I’m already with Xiao Li, Grandpa Song, please bless us,” Ye Qi looked firmly into Mr. Song’s eyes.
“What if I don’t?” Mr. Song looked at Ye Qi indifferently.
“Grandpa, I’ll only be with Ye Qi in this lifetime,” Song Yanli said resolutely.
Ye Qi smiled at Song Yanli, his grip on her hand tightened, as if making a promise to her, “Grandpa Song, as long as you approve of me and Xiao Li being together, I will do anything you ask.”
“Oh?” Mr. Song raised an eyebrow, “Even if I ask for your Ye Family?”
“Grandpa Song, the Ye Family isn’t mine to give. If it were, I’d willingly do it for Xiao Li.”
“I only want the Ye Family. If you can’t do that, then just go back,” Mr. Song turned his head and waved his hand dismissively.
“Grandpa Song, I can give you the company under my name and even marry into the Song Family,” Ye Qi said. All he could offer now, apart from his company, was himself.
Mr. Song no longer spoke.
“Grandpa, whether you agree or not, I will be with Ye Qi,” Song Yanli said, pulling Ye Qi and walking out.
Mr. Song turned and looked at the backs of Song Yanli and Ye Qi, shaking his head. He actually quite liked the boy Ye Qi, but now he was also helpless— the Young Master of the Tianji Sect fancied Xiao Li, and if the Song Family didn’t comply, they faced only a dead end.
Song Yanli and Ye Qi walked out of Mr. Song’s yard and ran into Song Yanxue coming from the opposite direction.
Song Yanxue looked at Ye Qi and sneered mockingly, “Xiao Li, your taste isn’t that great.” Ye Qi looked fine and his background was decent, but compared to the Song Family, he fell significantly short.
“This is my business, none of yours,” Song Yanli retorted discontentedly.
“I’m your sister, of course I have the right to care about your affairs,” Song Yanxue looked at the visibly angry Ye Qi, “What I’m saying is the truth, do you think you are worthy of Xiao Li?”
“Song Yanxue, shut up!” This was the first time Song Yanli had raised her voice so loud. She wouldn’t allow anyone to speak ill of Ye Qi.
Ye Qi pulled Song Yanli behind him, stepped forward, and glared at Song Yanxue, “I admit I’m not worthy of Xiao Li, but I’ll never let her suffer in this life. Xiao Li won’t end up unloved like you.” His company already had assets over a hundred million, and he believed that with his hard work, he would rise even further.
Song Yanxue clenched her teeth in anger, “Ye Qi, get out! This is the Song Family’s territory, and you’re not welcome here.” That jerk Ye Qi daring to tear into her wounds.
“I am a Song Family person, and Ye Qi is my boyfriend. He can stay here as long as he likes. If you want to drive Ye Qi away, then please also drive Lu Tingxuan out,” Song Yanli stepped out from behind Ye Qi.
“Song Yanli, are you rebelling?” Song Yanxue trembled with fury. She and Xiao Li had always been close; Xiao Li used to cling to her as a child, but ever since Song Yan Ning returned to the Song Family once, Xiao Li and Xiao Yang had completely sided with Song Yan Ning.
She couldn’t understand what was so great about Song Yan Ning. Not just Xiao Li and Xiao Yang, even grandpa, dad, and even mom had changed their attitudes towards Song Yan Ning. And Brother Yushen treated Song Yan Ning as precious as a treasure. She was so full of hatred and jealousy, and if she were able to beat Song Yan Ning, she would certainly have eliminated her.
Back then, she even hired someone to assault Song Yan Ning, but that person never showed up again.
“I’m just being realistic,” Song Yanli snorted and pulled Ye Qi toward the gate. She didn’t want to argue with Xiao Xue anymore; her own issues were still unresolved.
“Ye Qi, let me remind you, if you want to live, stay away from Xiao Li. The Young Master of the Tianji Sect is not easy to talk to; he is the young master of the Ancient Martial Sect,” Song Yanxue said coldly.
The reason the Young Master of Tianji Sect was interested in Xiao Li was also because of her connection. Because she couldn’t cultivate, the Song Family’s elders had always been prejudiced against her, so she had Lu Tingxuan pull some strings to secure a good marriage for Xiao Li. A marriage alliance with the Ancient Martial Sect would definitely raise the Song Family’s status in Beijing, and she would also be valued by the Song Family because of this.
“Do you think I’d be afraid?” Ye Qi snorted disdainfully. He loved Xiao Li and would never let her jump into a fire pit. So what if the Young Master of Tianji Sect was powerful? He was no pushover himself.
“I hope you don’t regret it!” Song Yanxue sneered. Why did both Song Yanli and Song Yan Ning find people who loved them so deeply, yet she could only watch helplessly? She couldn’t accept it; she was determined to ruin it, determined to make Song Yanli marry the Young Master of Tianji Sect.
