Chapter 445: She felt sick even when she was close to the Song family
Gu Helian was stunned by Xiao Yan's words. Looking at the young man sitting casually opposite him with an indifferent and arrogant look, he sighed softly.
"You and your father are truly nothing alike. If he had been as cunning and adaptable as you, he wouldn't have ended up like this."
Xiao Yan didn't feel offended by being scolded, he just thought it was a compliment. He held his teacup and looked across at the other side: "So, has Patriarch Gu agreed to this deal?"
Gu Helian raised her eyelids slightly and said, "I agree, but you can call me uncle first."
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows: "Uncle."
Tsk!
Gu Helian rolled his eyes immediately, knowing that this little thief was shameless and had no idea what face was. He took the tea that Xiao Yan had brewed for him and raised his hand to lightly touch the cup in Xiao Yan's hand.
"For the sake of you calling me uncle, I agree to this. There's only one thing I want to do. If you dare to betray Tang Ning after this is done, I won't forgive you."
"Although the Gu family isn't as powerful as those aristocratic families, they are not short of money. Even if you spend mountains of gold and silver, you will always find someone in this world who dares to take your life!"
If Xiao Yan dared to betray Tang Ning, he would spend all his family wealth and kill him.
Xiao Yan didn't get angry at his threats, he just raised his lips and said, "Thank you, uncle."
Gu Helian took a sip of the tea and said with disgust, "It's so hard to drink." Putting the cup down, he said confidently, "Why don't you add more tea!"
Xiao Yan: “…”
I pinched the teacup and let him be proud for a moment.
…
After Tang Ning had packed up and drank a large bowl of medicine soup, Qian Qiyue and Xue Ru came over.
Seeing that her face was more rosy and no longer as frighteningly pale as last night, Qian Qiyue breathed a sigh of relief. She poked Tang Ning on the forehead and said, "You are trying to scare me to death!"
“How could I…”
"You're still saying no. You don't know how pale your face was when I hurried over to see you last night. If you weren't still breathing, I would have thought something had happened to you."
Qian Qiyue was still frightened when she spoke, and was about to teach Tang Ning a lesson when she was suddenly rubbed by her arm.
"What are you doing?" Qian Qiyue pushed Tang Ning's head away with a finger.
Tang Ning said with tears in her eyes, "I'm sorry, Sister Yue is so kind, but I forgot about you before."
Qian Qiyue's eyes suddenly turned red.
When she recovered from her leg injury and couldn't wait to return to Beijing, she originally wanted to share her joy with Tang Ning, but who knew that she would be met with completely unfamiliar eyes.
She felt extremely aggrieved at the time. She tried to talk to Tang Ning several times but was rejected by her. She watched her chase after Lu Zhinian like a different person.
At that time, everyone in the capital laughed at the girl from the Rong family for being willing to be lowly, and laughed at Song Tangning, a noble lady, for sticking to the Lu family. Qian Qiyue had no idea how many times she had quarreled and fought with others because of those people who cursed Tangning behind her back. But Tangning seemed to be blind to all that. Her heart and eyes were only filled with the third son of the Lu family who never had her in his eyes.
Qian Qiyue was angry at her for not fighting back, and once blamed her for not wanting to have any contact with her anymore, but she didn't expect that Tang Ning had forgotten her because of the torture caused by the old hag from the Song family.
Qian Qiyue's eyes were red with self-blame. "I should have realized that something was wrong when I returned to Beijing. You have never been so weak and willing to be bullied. If I had known earlier that the Song family would torture you like that, you wouldn't have suffered so much."
"I'm still angry with you, mad that you forgot about me and ignored you on purpose. I..." She burst into tears: "Why am I so stupid?"
Tang Ning's eyes curved with laughter at her words, and he hugged Qian Qiyue and rubbed her against him.
"Sister Ayue is not stupid. You see, even though you were angry with me and mad that I forgot about you, when I got into trouble and was bullied, you still stood by me and helped me without hesitation."
"I still remember you helping me scold those people from the Lu family. There were so many people around at the time, but you were the only one who spoke..."
Qian Qiyue cried even harder when she heard this.
Xue Ru, who was standing beside her, also had red eyes.
Rong Yue looked at the little girls crying together, and felt sad too. She wiped her eyes and said calmly:
"Alright, alright, stop crying now. Otherwise, if you return to Beijing later with swollen eyes and someone sees you, they'll think something's wrong."
After they stopped crying, Rong Yue turned to Tang Ning and said, "What are you going to do with the people from the Song family?"
Tang Ning was stunned for a moment before asking, "How did you deal with it, brother?"
Rong Yue's expression was cold: "Cut into pieces."
Qian Qiyue sat aside with her eyes still red and a fierce look in her eyes.
"They killed Madam Rong and nearly ruined you. They've been treating you harshly for years, colluding with the Lu family to bring you infamy. With what they've done, even a thousand cuts would be too easy for them. You must not be soft on them!"
Tang Ning was amused by her and laughed: "How could I be soft-hearted?"
The Song family was a nightmare to her. She had witnessed her mother die in front of her and had experienced endless despair. How could she possibly be soft-hearted towards those beasts?
"Everything they're going through now is the retribution they deserve. No amount of torture will bring back my mother. Since my brother has already dealt with them for me, let them endure it. I don't want to see them, nor do I want to say a word to them."
She felt sick even just being near them.
Rong Yue didn't expect Tang Ning to say that. She originally thought that Tang Ning would go and see the miserable plight of the Song family with her own eyes, and even take action to vent the grievances she had suffered. But when she heard her say so coldly that she didn't want to see the Song family again, Rong Yue suddenly realized.
For the Song family, Tang Ning is related to them by blood after all. Tang Ning's indifference and disgust may make the Song family more desperate than if she met them in person and started to mock, scold, humiliate and torture them.
Xiao Yan has always been vindictive and he will not let anyone from the Song family go.
The Song family will probably be in a state of being unable to live or die in the days ahead, but Tang Ning doesn't need to be trapped in the past with them.
Rong Yue reached out and touched Tang Ning's hair: "You're right, you really don't need to meet them."
Qian Qiyue rolled her eyes, but felt a little unwilling. She always felt uncomfortable that she didn't whip the Song family a few times.
Xue Ru, however, acted like she was obeying her elder sister in everything. She said softly and obediently, "As long as you're happy, elder sister, I'm happy. Besides, I'll be busy after returning to Beijing. The results of the last academy exam are out."
Tang Ning was immediately curious: "Has he come down already?"
"Well, my sister is in the A-grade, and I just barely made it to the D-grade." Xue Ru blushed shyly and whispered, "I didn't do well in the exam. I'm embarrassed for my sister."
Tang Ning was delighted when he heard this: "What nonsense! How long have you learned to read and write? It's already great that you can be admitted to the academy's class."
Rongsheng Academy divides students into four levels based on assessment: A, B, C, and D. D is the lowest grade, which may be a humiliation and embarrassment to other students in the academy, but it is different for Xue Ru.
When she left the Song family and went to Jiyun Lane, she couldn't even recognize a few words. When she was in the Song family, no one taught her anything.
She started going to school when she arrived at Jiyun Lane. From the time she first learned to read, it has only been less than half a year and she has already learned enough to be placed in a class at the academy. This is already quite talented and surprising.
