Song Tingwan took a deep breath, forced back the tears in her eyes, turned around and walked towards the dinner table, "I won't eat. If you have anything to say, tell me now. I'll leave after you listen."
"How do you talk to your parents?" Song Jia stood up suddenly, frowning tightly, "Is it so difficult to ask you to have a meal together, Miss?"
Seeing her brother, who once loved her, accusing her like this, Song Tingwan felt like a completely different person. She only felt the irony, "I'm very busy. If you have something to say, just tell me. Anyway, your dishes are already served. I don't think you are waiting for me to eat."
"Sister Wanwan, don't overthink it. Jia-ge didn't mean that." Sun Xinyuan frowned, looking as if she was trying to explain, as if she was afraid they wouldn't get along. "Mom and Dad were just worried you'd be hungry, so they ordered the dishes first."
Liu Meiying patted her hands, her eyes kind, "Xinyuan, sit down. She is ignorant, let's not argue with her."
"Xinyuan, be obedient and sit down to eat." Song Jianguo also spoke.
Song Tingwan looked at the harmonious family, her fingers trembling uncontrollably. She tried her best to control herself and said calmly, "Why did you call me all the way here? What do you want to say?"
Liu Meiying's expression instantly turned cold, and she leaned back on the chair with her arms folded across her chest. "Since you don't want to eat, then don't eat."
"Your father and I have arranged a marriage for you. The man is a director of a listed company, in his early fifties, and has excellent conditions in all aspects. Please see when you are free and we can arrange for you two to meet."
marriage?
Fifty years old?
Song Tingwan looked at the superior woman opposite in disbelief, "You want me to marry a man in his fifties?"
Song Jia seemed to have just learned about this and looked at his mother in surprise, "Mom? This..."
Liu Meiying interrupted her son and stared at Song Tingwan unhappily. "Don't think I don't know that you're being the old man's mistress. You're bringing shame to our Song family! I'll find you a good family. If you marry into that family, I guarantee you'll have plenty of food and shelter for the rest of your life. It's much more respectable than being someone else's mistress."
Song Tingwan was stung by the disdain and malice in her eyes. He stared at her closely, tears glistening in his eyes. "Ms. Liu, have you ever seen me and that old man go out together?"
Liu Meiying frowned, looking disgusted. "They are already underground lovers, kept by someone, how dare they walk on the street openly?"
"I'll just say this once: I'm not being kept by anyone, nor am I anyone's mistress." Song Tingwan glanced at Sun Xinyuan and continued, "I don't know who you heard that from, but I'm innocent. Please, be respectful when you speak."
"You have to get married even if you don't want to!" Song Jianguo slammed his palm on the table again, his face fierce. "I don't want to go out and hear people say that my daughter of the Song family is the secret lover of some old man! He's older than me! Where can I put my face?"
Song Tingwan's heart had completely turned cold. Not wanting to argue any further, she simply said, "Half a year ago, you sent me to Sifang. During that time, you ignored my calls, blocked me in messages, and even resigned from my job without my consent. Didn't you already expel me from this family then?"
"And..." Song Tingwan lowered her eyes to look at her shaking hands under the table. When she looked up again, her eyes were filled with indifference. "I don't think you made me marry that fifty-year-old man because of that fabricated sponsorship."
"Back then, your company had funding problems, and in order to secure investment from the Gu Corporation, you ignored my wishes and arranged for me and Gu Sinian to be engaged. Since you're my mother, I agreed to it to help our family through the difficult times. But after you recognized Sun Xinyuan, you once again ignored my wishes and directly transferred the engagement to her."
"Now, is there something wrong with the company again?"
Noticing the Song couple's evasive glances, Song Tingwan knew he was right. A sarcastic arc appeared on the corner of his mouth. "You found your biological daughter, didn't you? It shouldn't be up to an outsider like me to help you at this time."
After saying that, Song Tingwan picked up her bag and left a final sentence: "When you are old, I will support you and fulfill my filial duty to repay you for raising me for more than 20 years. But other than that, there is no need to contact you anymore."
After Song Tingwan left, Sun Xinyuan hurriedly stood up and stroked Liu Meiying's back, "Mom, don't be angry, Sister Wanwan is just like that."
Liu Meiying patted her hands and said, "Xinyuan, don't worry. Mom won't let you marry an old man. Your marriage with that kid from the Gu family is a done deal. It's just that you've suffered so much over the years."
Sun Xinyuan lowered her head, looking extremely aggrieved but pretending to be fine. "It's okay, Mom. It's all over. Sister Wanwan didn't mean it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a tear slid down his face.
Seeing her like this, Liu Meiying felt distressed and hurriedly comforted her: "My dear daughter, she used to bully you like this at school, so you don't have to speak for her anymore."
After saying that, Liu Meiying glared at her husband again, her face full of resentment, "It's all your fault! How could you mix up the children?! We worked so hard to raise her, only to let her bully our biological daughter at school!"
Song Jianguo quickly admitted his mistake, "Wife, I don't know what happened. Let's treat Xinyuan well in the future and make up for what we have missed over the years."
Song Jia looked at the scene in front of him without saying a word, his eyes were dark and unclear, and no one knew what he was thinking.
After leaving Siyuan Tower, Song Tingwan went to the riverside to enjoy the breeze for a while.
She never thought that the family had tricked her here to talk about this.
She didn't know what she had left to be nostalgic about.
