The shop was bustling with people, and business was booming. Qiao Yunni didn't notice Song Ruier. She used a red pen to annotate the errors in the ledger and checked it again.
After finishing the ledgers, she felt a bit sore and numb in her back. She took a short break, looked up, picked up the tea that had gone cold, and saw someone sitting in the chair opposite her.
It's Song Ruier. I don't know when he arrived or how long he's been here.
He leaned back in his seat, motionless, patiently watching her with a scrutinizing gaze.
It was as if she had committed some unforgivable mistake.
Qiao Yunni felt very uncomfortable being stared at, and since the person was Song Ruier, she frowned in disgust.
Just as he was about to speak, Song Ruier spoke up, her face displaying a half-smile, as if she were showing disdain, yet also a hint of admiration.
“Mrs. Qiao, you’ve been living quite comfortably these past few years. You’ve even learned to read and write. You’re no longer that crude and ignorant woman from the countryside.”
Qiao Yunni said coldly, "What I do is none of your business. You are not welcome here. You can leave."
But he was wondering what Song Ruier wanted to do, since he had never been here before.
Song Ruier originally thought that the reason why Qiao Yunni trusted and was close to Qiao Lian'er and did not acknowledge him as her son was because Qiao Lian'er was outstanding and could bring benefits, while Qiao Yunni was inherently opportunistic and looked down on others.
He is now a tribute student. Although his ranking is not high, he is the youngest. When the list was posted, it still caused a stir in the capital. The name Pang You has spread to almost every street and alley. It is impossible for the Qiao family not to know him.
As his biological mother, Qiao Yunni must be very regretful for not treating him well back then. How could he be polite to her after he became an official?
What he wanted to see was a look of deep regret on Qiao Yunni's face.
Qiao Yunni even adopted a fawning attitude to please her son.
It wouldn't be too much to kneel down to him.
But to my surprise, Qiao Yunni remained indifferent.
As children, even if we have no feelings for our parents, we still hope to gain their recognition and see their parents regret their past actions after letting us down.
Song Ruier felt frustrated and furious. He slammed his fist on the table and chairs and stood up, adopting an arrogant posture.
"How dare you, Qiao! Do you know who you're talking to? Don't think that just because I'm your son, you can lecture me as you please. Even if you have the Princess Zhenguo as your support, you're not worthy."
“You abandoned me, your own son, and only treat Qiao Lian’er well. You think I don’t care? That’s true, I don’t crave your affection. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have insisted on staying in the Song family in the first place. But the way you treat me is tantamount to abandoning me and insulting me. So, why do you think I won’t hate you? Won’t come back to settle accounts with you?”
Now, Song Ruier speaks these words with full confidence, and when she looks at Qiao Yunni, she does so with the disdain and condescension of someone in a superior position.
Suddenly he laughed.
"Of course, if you're willing to admit your mistake and beg for forgiveness, I might take pity on you and not let you suffer too much, considering you gave birth to me."
Sure enough, such a demon, once he has something to rely on, will unleash his evil without restraint.
Qiao Yunni couldn't understand why she, a kind-hearted person, would give birth to such a child.
Perhaps, Lian'er inherited the character of the Qiao family, while Song Rui'er inherited the character of the Song family. This is the biggest difference between the two siblings.
“It is because you are mean-spirited and ungrateful, and have ulterior motives, that I am extremely disappointed in you. It is not because I am biased towards your sister.”
"Don't you understand that I don't want to see a son who commits many evils? If you had any moral character or conscience, why would I treat you like this?"
"You only blame me and complain about me, but have you ever reflected on yourself?"
