Chapter 180 Can’t Stay
These words pierced through Elder Zong's ears, causing him to stare wide-eyed at his own daughter in disbelief. "You're the one who's changed. Your whole family has changed."
Do you want to listen to the utter nonsense you're spouting?
Aren't you afraid of divine retribution for insulting Song Beiyou like that?
Liu Ting felt it was best for her to remain silent at this moment, as this was a family matter for the time being.
However, hearing Elder Zong defend Song Beiyou like this still made her extremely unhappy.
Mu Niannian was unhappy that her mother was being talked about, so she propped herself up and said, "Grandpa, how can you say that about my mother? She is your own daughter."
I think my mom was right. Did Song Beiyou whisper some nonsense in your ear?
Definitely is!
Grandpa, you don't know, although Song Beiyou is a student at Imperial University and has good grades, her reputation is terrible.
She deliberately came out of Qingshui River to hook up with rich men; she wanted to marry into a wealthy family and become a young mistress.
Undoubtedly, her uncle is the best person for her...
Before he could finish speaking, a teacup flew from Elder Zong's hand and smashed straight at Mu Niannian.
Instantly, the entire Zong family living room erupted into chaos.
Elder Zong was so angry that he kept clutching his chest. After a while, he closed his eyes and fainted again.
Now, the scene finally quieted down.
Zong Lanfang's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.
Mu Niannian turned pale with fright.
Liu Ting came in handy again, and Uncle Chen, who was helping to handle the matter, called Zong Zhengqi.
Thinking that he could take this opportunity to have a phone call with Zongzheng Qi.
However, Munemasa did not answer the phone.
In the end, it was Uncle Chen who made a phone call to inform Zongzheng Qi of the current situation.
When Zongzheng Qi learned the truth over the phone, he was furious. While rushing back, he ordered Uncle Chen and the housekeeper to disperse any irrelevant people in the house.
Uncle Chen and the steward did as instructed.
Liu Ting and Mu Niannian were driven away, but Zong Lanfang, the true member of the Zong family, is still here.
Zongzhengqi said to let her have her way, so Uncle Chen didn't insist any further.
Zong Zhengqi rushed home from the Safety Supervision Bureau.
Upon arriving at her father's room, she saw Zong Lanfang leaning against the wall, her face full of guilt.
He snorted coldly, wanting to stride further inside, but Zong Lanfang stopped him, "Aqi, I, I..."
Zongzheng Qi's face was cold. "You don't owe me anything. You don't need to tell me. I can't accept that."
I want to apologize, but I'll talk to my father properly when he wakes up.
After saying that, he didn't linger and stepped into the room.
Zong Lanfang wanted to follow, but because she was sad and uneasy, feeling that it was her fault that her father fainted, she was too embarrassed to go forward and just stayed where she was.
Xie Jingbai was the one examining the body inside.
He had just gone home, and before he could even get comfortable, he was called back.
However, he was not as familiar with Elder Zong's condition as Song Beiyou, so he gave her another phone number.
So much so that when Zong Lanfang, feeling uneasy, leaned against the wall and raised her eyes, she saw Song Beiyou, whom she loathed utterly.
The moment Song Beiyou was led in by Uncle Chen, he also saw Zong Lanfang.
There was no emotion in his eyes, as indifferent as if they were two people who had never crossed paths.
The next second, just as Song Beiyou was about to go into Elder Zong's room, Zong Lanfang stood in front of her.
Just like blocking Zong Zhengqi, they blocked Song Beiyou.
Seeing this, Song Beiyou tilted her head.
A pair of clear, bright eyes gleamed with innocence. "Madam, what's wrong?"
Zong Lanfang's jaw tightened. "I hope Miss Song can treat my father properly, considering individual circumstances and acting accordingly in private."
Song Beiyou looked at her with a smile in his eyes.
Without uttering a word, he lifted his leg and stepped over the threshold into the room.
She was wearing a very long skirt today, the hem of which went over the threshold stone, leaving Zong Lanfang with only a strange silhouette.
Ultimately, the examination results showed that Elder Zong was not seriously injured; it was just a common case of being overwhelmed by anger.
However, when facing Zong Lanfang, Song Beiyou deliberately exaggerated the outcome.
As a result, Zong Lanfang's sense of guilt increased even more.
Song Beiyou had other matters to attend to and couldn't stay at the Zong family for too long. A short while after the Zong elder woke up, she left with Xie Jingbai.
Zong Zhengqi and Zong Lanfang, the two siblings, are still alive and staying by Elder Zong's side.
Zong Lanfang felt guilty and dared not speak, like a quail.
Zongzheng Qi glanced at her with a stern expression, then looked at his biological father, who was lying in bed, staring at the ceiling with his eyes open, and said sternly, "I hope something like this will never happen again."
Otherwise, I'm not sure I would issue a statement severing ties.
The words were harsh, but Zong Lanfang did not refute them.
She looked at her father, who had woken up in bed but hadn't spoken up for her, and gritted her teeth, "Okay, I won't."
I was wrong today; I crossed the line.
"Such a thing will never happen again."
"Hmm," Elder Zong uttered in a muffled voice from his chest, "You can go back now."
Zong Lanfang didn't really want to, but she still obediently packed her things and left her parents' home.
As soon as she left, Elder Zong sighed, "What a tragic fate!"
...
Zong Lanfang returned to the Mu family home with red eyes.
When she arrived, Mu Huaishan was waiting for her in the courtyard.
Seeing his wife's eyes red from crying, Mu Huaishan felt as if his heart was being torn apart.
"It's alright, it's alright, I'm here for you," Mu Huaishan reassured him.
Zong Lanfang nodded, feeling very fortunate to have such a good husband. "Hmm, where's Niannian?"
Mu Huaishan: "She's in the room, and Liu Ting is there too."
"I gonna go see."
Upstairs in Mu Niannian's room, after washing up, she lay on the bed with Liu Ting beside her.
The door wasn't closed, and when Zong Lanfang came in, she clearly heard Mu Niannian's voice from inside, "Sister Liu Ting, you are the best candidate for aunt in my heart."
Liu Ting patted Mu Niannian's hair and laughed, "You can say these things in front of me, but don't let outsiders hear them, or they'll laugh their heads off."
Mu Niannian said, "What's the big deal? The thought of Song Beiyou causing chaos in the Zong family in the future makes me feel sorry for my mother, a true member of the Zong family."
Look at him today, my grandfather gets all fired up whenever Song Beiyou is mentioned.
How are we supposed to get along like this from now on? Sigh...
I really feel so sorry for my mom.
Zong Lanfang's suppressed grief surged up again at this moment.
Upon hearing Liu Ting say, "You'll get to know each other better as you spend more time together," Zong Lanfang couldn't help but push the door open and then lock it tightly again.
When Mu Niannian saw Zong Lanfang return, she asked, "Mom, you're back? Is Grandpa alright?"
Liu Ting stood up. "Sister Lanfang."
Zong Lanfang took a deep breath, turned around and tightly grasped Liu Ting's hand, "Liu Ting."
Liu Ting glanced at her and exclaimed, "Sister Lanfang, you're crying! What happened? Who bullied you?"
Zong Lanfang shook her head and tightened her grip on Liu Ting's hand. "Liu Ting, does your brother have any capable assassins? Song Beiyou can't be allowed to live."
