Chapter 69 He betrayed her again
What are you doing?
Si Yuan was startled by the sound.
But Song Yan still didn't let go until he sat down on the sofa, at which point he withdrew his hand.
Song Yan said calmly, "Mom, just say what you want to say. I'd like to hear what Si Yuan has with you."
Song's mother looked at Si Yuan, narrowed her eyes, and questioned, "Did you tell your brother?"
Si Yuan lowered her eyes and said, "No."
"Why would he give me, his mother, that kind of look if he hadn't complained?"
How could Si Yuan know?
Song Yan frowned and asked his mother, "Si Yuan is my sister, what is there that I can't know?"
Seeing how serious Song Yan's expression was, Song's mother suppressed her dissatisfaction with Si Yuan.
It doesn't matter if Song Yan knows. It's good for him to understand that no matter which one of them is him or Si Yuan, no one in the Song family can go against family ties.
Song's mother picked up her teacup, took a sip, and calmed down a bit.
Si Yuan was already getting a little anxious.
"Mom, where are my things?"
Song's mother put down her teacup without even looking up: "You want it?"
Si Yuan nodded eagerly.
As expected, Song's mother smiled.
"Of course, as long as your brother and Shuangyu get engaged, I will return those things to you intact."
Si Yuan understood.
Even if Song Yan doesn't get engaged, it will still affect her.
It turns out that Song's mother believed that the conflict between Song Yan and Lin Shuangyu stemmed from her.
Therefore, she felt that as long as she used the relics to manipulate herself, she would force Song Yan to return to his original position.
Song Yan's expression darkened slightly. Although he didn't understand what it was, he never expected it to be related to his engagement.
"Mom, whether I get engaged or not depends entirely on whether Lin Shuangyu can gain Si Yuan's forgiveness. What does it have to do with Si Yuan?"
Yu Qingfang looked at Song Yan with disbelief, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, and sneered: "Shuangyu is the daughter-in-law I personally chose, and the Lin family's status is second only to the Song family. How could she possibly humble herself and apologize to Siyuan? What do you expect the Lin family to think?"
“But she hurt Si Yuan,” Song Yan retorted immediately, his tone leaving no room for argument.
At this moment, he truly felt indignant on behalf of Si Yuan.
"She already knows she was wrong!"
Yu Qingfang raised her voice, sounding somewhat impatient, "She even threatened to commit suicide, isn't this enough sincerity?"
Song Yan was speechless for a moment, and subconsciously turned to look at Si Yuan beside him.
Si Yuan's hands, hanging by her sides, clenched tightly, her fingertips turning white, and she slowly said, "Mom, I can't forgive her."
A villain like Lin Shuangyu doesn't deserve forgiveness. She will never admit her mistakes and should pay the price!
But those words completely exhausted Yu Qingfang's patience.
Her face turned cold, her eyes sharp and devoid of any emotion, her tone extremely authoritative: "Of course you can refuse to forgive. Then, I'll just have to get rid of what you want."
Si Yuan felt a sudden pang of pain in her heart.
For the belongings of her soon-to-be-lost biological parents, and even more so for Yu Qingfang's undisguised ruthlessness at this moment.
She looked up in a panic, at a loss, and could only look to Song Yan for help.
But Yu Qingfang was prepared and didn't give Song Yan a chance to speak.
She looked directly at Song Yan and reminded him clearly, "Yan, the Song family is not yet in your hands. If you are not willing to maintain the dignity of the Song and Lin families, your father and I will have to reconsider whether the company can be handed over to you right now."
Song Yan was completely stunned. He hadn't expected his mother to bring up the company's inheritance rights. He looked at his mother in disbelief and asked, "Mom, how could you do this?"
"What's wrong with me?" Yu Qingfang retorted coldly, her tone full of disappointment. "It's just about getting you engaged, and you all have a bunch of excuses. Why can't you think more about the adults and the Song family?"
She did it not only for Lin Shuangyu.
He was determined not to let Song Yan and Si Yuan's relationship deviate from the right path in the slightest.
It couldn't be Lin Shuangyu, and it absolutely couldn't be Si Yuan.
Si Yuan didn't say anything more.
She lowered her eyes silently, as if she had been crushed by something once again.
She thought she could finally escape the vortex of these complicated relationships and stop suffering from them, but in the end, she couldn't get out of it.
She forced a smile, her voice filled with exhaustion: "Whether my brother gets engaged or not is not up to me."
Yu Qingfang stared at her, her tone mocking: "It seems you really don't intend to take those things."
He then got up to leave.
Si Yuan raised her head in a daze, truly panicked.
She couldn't forgive Lin Shuangyu, but compared to the pain she had suffered, his belongings were the only things her parents had left to remember her by.
She lowered her head: "I accept it, I won't pursue it anymore, Mom, please give my things back!"
Yu Qingfang stopped, a satisfied smile spreading across her face: "Isn't that right?"
But the next second, she suddenly changed the subject, "But I will only return it to you after Song Yan and Lin Shuangyu are officially married and he has made up his mind."
Si Yuan's heart sank instantly.
So, will she be tied up in this matter for even longer?
Si Yuan didn't want it; she didn't want to be bound by anyone anymore.
Yu Qingfang and Lin Shuangyu are in cahoots. The relics might soon become Lin Shuangyu's new leverage, a tool to humiliate him once again.
If she were to suffer that kind of torture again, she really would die.
With nowhere else to turn, Si Yuan could only look to Song Yan, hoping that he could help her.
She has now conceded; all she wants is her parents' belongings back.
After all, they are mother and son, and as long as he gives in, Yu Qingfang will definitely back down.
Song Yan ignored her gaze, his fingers unconsciously stroking the sofa armrest.
He was pondering what Yu Qingfang had said.
If his father really doesn't let him take over the company, then all his hard work this year will be wasted, and he can't bear the consequences.
So he remained silent and did not speak.
Yu Qingfang then looked at Song Yan, her tone becoming more serious: "If the Song family is embroiled in a scandal now, affecting the Song Group, neither of us can bear the responsibility. Have you thought about how you will lead the Song Group to establish itself in Haicheng in the future?"
Song Yan looked up, his gaze hesitant as he looked at Yu Qingfang.
He lived for twenty-three years, every step of which was arranged by Yu Qingfang. He endured and worked hard, all for the day when he could take over that position, and perhaps on that day he would be free.
This day cannot be postponed any longer.
He's probably made up his mind.
Taking a deep breath, Song Yan finally spoke: "Since Si Yuan has forgiven Lin Shuangyu, I will marry her."
Si Yuan sensed something was off about his words, but still clung to her last hope and pleaded, "Brother, I won't bother you. I just beg you, please ask your mother to give my things back!"
Song Yan didn't know what was making Si Yuan so anxious, but at this moment, nothing was more important than the overall situation.
"Siyuan, don't disobey your mother. Everything she does is for our own good. Just wait a bit, and I'll take good care of everything for you."
Si Yuan stood frozen in place, as if she had been frozen in place.
She looked at Song Yan, the light in her eyes gradually dimming.
This time, he chose to betray her again.
