Chapter 46
The next day, Song Yunnian drove back to the Song family home.
The Song family villa looked magnificent in the morning light, with servants busy mowing and trimming the lawn.
As she walked in, the servant at the door immediately looked over. “Eldest Miss?”
“Where is Song Feier?”
“Miss and Madam are in the garden,” the servant replied.
Song Yunnian headed straight for the garden. Song Feier and Li Yurong were sitting on wrought-iron chairs, drinking tea and looking quite relaxed.
Song Zhiguo was there as well; the family of three looked perfectly harmonious.
“Feier, your jewelry company has been getting on the right track lately, hasn’t it?” Song Zhiguo asked with concern.
Song Feier nodded repeatedly. “Yes, it’s already gained some fame. I believe it won’t be long before it becomes even more well-known internationally.”
Song Zhiguo looked at Song Feier with a doting expression and praised, “Feier is truly impressive. As they say, a tiger father doesn’t have a dog for a daughter.”
He looked at Song Feier with extreme doting, just like a loving father.
Li Yurong chimed in with a smile, “Feier inherited your good genes; she’s always been very capable in business.”
Song Feier quickly took Song Zhiguo’s arm. “That’s right, Dad. It’s all thanks to your guidance.”
Song Yunnian stood there watching for a while, feeling a wave of suffocation in her chest. It seemed that since childhood, she had never enjoyed such loving concern from Song Zhiguo.
What always greeted her was suppression. Especially after Song Feier was born, Song Zhiguo looked at Song Feier with nothing but satisfaction, while she was seen as clumsy in every way.
After casting a cold glance at them, Song Yunnian walked straight over and stood before the three of them.
Song Feier said in surprise, “Sister, you’re back.”
Song Zhiguo frowned. “What are you doing here?”
His disgusted tone made it sound as if she had come crawling back to them.
Song Yunnian had long since learned to keep her emotions from showing on the surface. She said coldly, “Mr. Song, you’re mistaken. Song Feier was the one who asked me to come back.”
At the mention of Song Feier, Song Zhiguo fell silent, his gaze cold as he looked at her with a furrowed brow.
Song Feier curled her lips into a smile and said, “Dad, Sister has been back in Yuncheng for so long, and we haven’t seen her in years. Mom and I invited her back for a meal.”
Song Yunnian sneered. “No need. I have no interest in eating the Song family’s food.”
Hearing this, Song Zhiguo flew into a rage and began to curse.
“What do you mean by that?! Does eating the Song family’s food lower your status? Look at what you’ve done! It’s already enough that we haven’t cast you out!”
Song Yunnian’s smile grew even colder. “What did I do?”
“You…” Song Zhiguo wanted to say something, but he seemed to think of something and swallowed his words, his face turning dark with anger.
Seeing this, Song Yunnian’s eyes grew even colder.
Song Zhiguo really did know!
Her father knew about Song Feier and Li Yurong framing her, and he had condoned it.
Li Yurong had an ulterior motive for calling Song Yunnian back, so she quickly stepped in to ease the tension.
“Zhiguo, don’t be angry. It’s rare for Yunnian to come back. Let’s have a nice family meal and catch up. Your father has been asking about you.”
A flash of mockery crossed Song Yunnian’s eyes.
She and Li Yurong were not family.
“No need. Where is Auntie Yu?” Song Yunnian didn’t care to play along with Li Yurong’s pretenses.
Li Yurong turned a deaf ear and continued to persuade Song Yunnian.
“Yunnian, there’s no grudge between a father and daughter that can’t be resolved. I know you’re resentful, but what happened back then was such a huge scandal. It’s only natural for your father to be angry.”
Hearing this, Song Yunnian sneered. “Wasn’t that matter orchestrated by Madam Song herself? The way you’re talking now almost makes me think you’re innocent.”
