Chapter 363: 362, Surprising Price Chapter 363: 362, Surprising Price Yang Lisheng had just gotten off the train when he saw Song Yufeng and Yang Xin’er.
“Father!” Yang Xin’er and Song Yufeng came over joyfully upon seeing Yang Lisheng.
Song Yufeng reached out to take the luggage from Yang Lisheng’s hand, “Dad, are you going back to the courtyard house or coming to my place?”
“Let’s go to your place, this time I didn’t tell Xiao Ning. Is Xiao Xue still the same?” Yang Lisheng asked. He hadn’t told Xiao Ning because he worried she would be upset.
Song Yufeng nodded, “Still the same.” Seeing Xiao Xue like this really pained him.
“How did Xiao Xue get into a car accident?” Yang Lisheng asked, puzzled. With the Song Family’s resources, Xiao Xue should have had a driver.
“I’m not sure either. I heard from Xiao Li that Xiao Xue had argued with Xiao Ning and then rushed out just before the accident happened.” Song Yufeng also wanted to know what exactly Xiao Xue and Xiao Ning had argued about, but since Xiao Li wouldn’t say, he was helpless.
“It’s related to Xiao Ning?” Yang Lisheng frowned. No wonder Xiao Ning was unwilling to help treat Xiao Xue.
“Seems so,” Song Yufeng nodded. Whatever Xiao Ning had said, he couldn’t blame her, they owed her too much.
Yang Lisheng thought for a moment, “I should go back to the courtyard house.” He wanted to ask Xiao Ning what exactly had happened.
Song Yufeng and Yang Xin’er exchanged glances, then nodded.
When Song Yan Ning heard the knock on the door and opened it, she saw Yang Lisheng, “Grandpa, what brings you here?” She then realized why her grandfather had come to Beijing; it must be because of Song Yanxue.
“I’m here to treat Xiao Xue.” Yang Lisheng walked into the courtyard house with Song Yufeng and Yang Xin’er.
They all sat down in the main hall.
“Xiao Ning, I heard that Xiao Xue’s car accident had something to do with you. Can you tell Grandpa what exactly happened that day?” Yang Lisheng looked at Song Yan Ning. He knew Xiao Ning and she wouldn’t harm her family, but he was curious as to what she had said to make Xiao Xue so impulsive.
Song Yan Ning looked at Yang Lisheng, “Grandpa, do you believe in me?”
“I do!” Yang Lisheng nodded firmly. Xiao Ning was raised by him, he trusted her completely.
“Then Grandpa, please don’t ask.” Song Yan Ning didn’t want Yang Lisheng to know about the matters of the Emperor Realm.
Yang Lisheng thought for a moment, then nodded, “Alright, Grandpa won’t ask, but can you help treat Xiao Xue?” He really wasn’t good with neurological issues.
Song Yan Ning shook her head. She felt this was for the best for Song Yanxue, at least now she couldn’t cause more trouble. Otherwise, she wasn’t sure she could restrain herself from ending Song Yanxue.
“Xiao Ning, Xiao Xue is your own sister.” Yang Lisheng knew it was difficult to change Song Yan Ning’s mind, but he felt pity since Song Yanxue was in her twenties, the most beautiful time of one’s life.
“Grandpa, I’m powerless.” Song Yan Ning refused to acknowledge Song Yanxue as her sister.
Yang Lisheng sighed helplessly, “Grandpa won’t force you, just come with me to the hospital to have a look.” Xiao Ning’s medical skills were better than his, he could consult her if he ran into any challenges during the treatment.
“Alright.” Song Yan Ning nodded. She didn’t want to disappoint her grandfather, but she wouldn’t save Song Yanxue no matter what.
Song Yufeng and Yang Xin’er were pleased to hear this.
“Dad, you must be tired from the trip. Rest today, and we’ll go to the hospital tomorrow,” Yang Xin’er suggested. She was grateful that her father had come all the way from Yang City. She had wronged him and her mother in the past.
Yang Lisheng thought for a moment, then nodded, “That’s fine.” Xiao Xue’s condition couldn’t be cured in a short moment. Perhaps Xiao Ning would change her mind by tomorrow.
“It’s getting late, why don’t we all go out for dinner?” Song Yufeng suggested, checking the time.
Song Yan Ning looked at Yang Lisheng. She didn’t mind.
Yang Lisheng felt a bit hungry and nodded, “That sounds good.”
The group left the courtyard and drove to a restaurant that looked ordinary from the outside.
Upon entering the restaurant, they saw that there was only one table in the main hall.
“Why is there only one table?” Yang Lisheng asked, surprised.
“That’s the specialty of this restaurant, they only serve one table per day, and you need to reserve in advance,” Song Yufeng explained. He was a regular at this restaurant and particularly liked its atmosphere.
“Mr. Song!” upon seeing Song Yufeng, the restaurant manager immediately came to greet him.
Song Yufeng nodded slightly, “Please arrange our seating.”
“Of course, please follow me,” the restaurant manager escorted Song Yan Ning and the others to the table. Once everyone was seated, he handed the menu to Yang Lisheng.
Yang Lisheng took the menu and was startled by the prices, he looked uncertainly at the restaurant manager, “Are these prices for real?” He was worldly-wise, but the prices on the menu were extraordinarily high, charging by the gram.
“Rest assured, sir! These prices are absolutely fair,” the manager responded with a smile.
Yang Lisheng’s expression turned somewhat uncomfortable, handing the menu to Song Yufeng, “Yufeng, you order.” These prices were too steep for him to handle, just one glass of wine cost as much as he and his spouse’s monthly living expenses.
Song Yufeng nodded, took the menu, and then passed it to Song Yan Ning, “Xiao Ning, you pick something.” It was his first time taking her out for a meal, naturally, he chose a place that was a bit more upscale.
Song Yan Ning took the menu, glanced over it, “Ham, black truffle orange tart, steak…”
“Xiao Ning, that’s enough,” Yang Lisheng knew Song Yufeng was wealthy, but he still felt it was inappropriate to order too much.
“It’s fine, Xiao Ning, order whatever you like. Dad, do you know why I chose this place?” Song Yufeng wasn’t worried about money, he just wanted Xiao Ning to be happy.
Yang Lisheng shook his head. If it were up to him, he’d prefer a bowl of Yangchun noodles, affordable and filling.
“The chair you are sitting on and this table are over a hundred years old. After our meal, we can go to the courtyard behind to have tea; it’s actually part of the original Beile Mansion,” Song Yufeng pointed towards a door at the back.
Yang Lisheng turned his head to look at the door behind him and nodded. He knew about Beile Mansion, just didn’t realize it was connected to this restaurant.
Song Yan Ning put down the menu and scanned Beile Mansion with her Divine Sense. The base of Beile Mansion was six feet high with three front doors and one side entrance. The main hall was five-layered, each layer five rooms wide, all topped with barrel tiles. The ridge was decorated with lions and seahorses. The doors and columns were painted in red and green oil, while beams and columns twinkled with gold, decorated with painted flowers.
“Xiao Ning,” Yang Xin’er called out when she saw Song Yan Ning was distracted.
Song Yan Ning withdrew her Divine Sense and turned to look at Yang Xin’er.
