Chapter 258: Will you marry me if I offer you a mountain of gold and silver as your betrothal gift?



Song Ci pretended to feel sorry for her and quickly patted her plump butt. "Daddy is doing this for Qingjia's own good. Qingjia, don't be unhappy."

Without snacks and liquid milk, Su Qingjia couldn't be happy the whole day.

Song Ci quickly told Su Huanyan about Cecilio's transformation. Su Huanyan was relieved to learn that Cecilio had also started to control her daughter's diet.

That day, Song Ci was playing with building blocks with Su Qingjia when they saw Orianna coming over.

Orianna was clearly prepared.

"Song Ci, can you please excuse me for a moment?"

There are surveillance cameras everywhere in Earl Ace's manor, and guards patrolling, so Song Ci is not worried that Su Qingjia will get lost.

She called Su Qingjia and told her, "Qingjia, Cici will talk to your aunt for a while, you can play by yourself first."

Su Qingjia held a puzzle piece and waved to Song Ci and the others without even looking up, "Go ahead, Ci Ci."

Only then did Song Ci limp away behind Orianna.

Arriving at the crabapple tree planted by Earl Ace, Orianna stopped and pointed to a chair nearby. "Sit down."

Song Ci shook her head, "It's okay for me to stand for a while."

Orianna didn't insist any longer.

She stared at Song Ci, her lips moving up and down several times, but she didn't say anything. It was obvious that Orianna was struggling inside.

"Anna, just tell me what's going on." Song Ci was worried about Orianna.

Orianna then said, "Rain's body will be cremated today. Do you want to go and see it?"

When Song Ci suddenly heard Rain's name, her face turned pale.

"Today?"

"Um."

Rain's body was brought back to Rome and kept at the funeral home until it was cremated today. Aureliana knew that Rain and Song Ci had a deep relationship, so she came to tell her.

Song Ci said, "I want to go."

How could she not go?

Rain is her child!

Song Ci went back to her room to change her clothes, putting on a black windbreaker and tying up her long hair. Han Zhan saw her sitting on a dressing stool, wearing black gloves.

Han Zhan felt strange. Song Ci rarely wore all black. What was he going to do?

"You're going out?"

Song Ci’s injury hasn’t healed yet, where should he go?

Song Ci put on her black gloves, then turned around and looked at Han Zhan. She said, "Rain was cremated today. I'm going to say goodbye to her."

There was an unconscious chill in Song Ci's voice.

When Han Zhan heard Song Ci mention Rain, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Porcelain treasure..."

Song Ci lowered his head and said nothing.

She turned around, picked up the perfume bottle on the table and played with it in her palm, obviously absent-minded.

Han Zhan stood behind Song Ci.

He looked at Song Ci's face in the mirror and saw the sadness in her eyes. Han Zhan felt bad too. "Cibao, are you blaming me?"

Blame him for being so cruel and ruthless that he actually plotted against a clone.

Blame Han Zhan?

Song Ci actually understood that everyone had the right to blame Han Zhan for being cruel and ruthless, except her.

Han Zhan is afraid that something bad will happen to her. Han Zhan hates Edward. Han Zhan wants to avenge his mother's death. Han Zhan wants Valan to be free...

Han Zhan and Orianna teamed up to plot against Rain, ultimately, to protect her.

But Song Ci still blames Han Zhan.

If the person Han Zhan plotted against was just an ordinary clone, Song Ci wouldn't have felt so bad. But that child was Rain, the one who treated her like a mother and died for her.

"Han Zhan, I'm not blaming you, I just..."

Song Ci looked up at Han Zhan in the mirror, her expression suddenly becoming fragile.

She whimpered, covered her face with her palms, and choked out, "I just can't bear to leave Rain. She is so innocent and kind. She has done nothing wrong, but she has been abused and hurt since she was born..."

"Han Zhan, I feel so sorry for her!"

Han Zhan put his arm around Song Ci's shoulders.

He kissed Song Ci's hair, but because of his guilty conscience, he couldn't even utter a word of comfort.

After crying for a while, Song Ci pushed Han Zhan away, hurriedly got up and went into the bathroom to wash her face.

Without any makeup, Song Ci went straight to the funeral home with Orianna. On the way to the funeral home, Song Ci said nothing, just silently tilted her head and looked out the window.

Orianna knew that Song Ci was upset, and even knew that Song Ci was blaming her. But Orianna didn't care what Song Ci thought of her.

She didn't regret what she had done, but she still felt sorry for Rain.

When they arrived at the funeral home, Song Ci got out of the car first.

She took two steps and was suddenly stopped by Orianna.

"Song Dynasty porcelain."

Song Ci turned and looked at Orianna.

Orianna, dressed in a black leather jacket, looked cold and indifferent, but her gaze towards Song Ci was filled with guilt.

"Song Ci, I'm sorry,"

Song Ci pursed her lips for a moment before saying, "Why are you saying sorry to me? The person who really deserves your apology is already dead."

After saying that, Song Ci entered the funeral home.

Rain's body had just been taken out of the freezer and was still very cold. Her face was relatively peaceful, and she was wearing a blue dress that concealed the horrific bullet holes on her abdomen.

Looking at Rain, Song Ci thought of every moment they'd spent together in Catania. Unable to contain her emotions, she wept bitterly beside Rain's coffin...

After Rain was cremated, the people at the crematorium only gave Song Ci a small handful of ashes.

Song Ci first placed Rain's ashes in the crematorium.
