Chapter 217 The Wasted Son of an Ancient Family (15)
Changqing did not apologize.
Bai Susu also failed to apologize on his behalf.
Two days later, the Wang family came with Wang Ruo to apologize.
Changqing was called to the front hall.
Then he saw Wang Ruo staring at him fiercely with red eyes.
It seems she was forced to come by her family.
Changqing was quite impolite; when Wang Ruo apologized, he merely nodded slightly.
"Since you already know you were wrong, I'm not one to hold grudges. In the future, I hope you can learn from this experience and read more books on female virtues. By the way, you can read, right?"
Princess Wang Ruo's face turned red with anger.
She felt uncomfortable every time she saw this person.
“Of course I can read! I learned to read even before you did!” she couldn’t help but retort.
Changqing nodded, "If that's the case, you should read more classic texts. My father said that reading teaches etiquette, so you need to read more books."
"you!"
Wang Ruo gritted her teeth in anger when she heard him openly and subtly mocking her for being impolite.
This guy.
He doesn't study, just wastes his time at school, and he's also very rude!
How dare you lecture her!
She wanted to retort, but a glance at her mother's stern expression made her swallow her words.
"Alright."
Changqing stood up.
"I was just saying that in anger. Breaking off the engagement is a big deal, and it's not something I can decide. It's something my grandfather set before he passed away, and it can't be changed so easily. But, little princess, since you'll be a member of the Song family sooner or later, you should know some of the Song family's rules. When you have time, ask your aunt for advice. She'll definitely be happy to teach you."
He was not polite at all.
The Wang family's situation is not optimistic, even worse than that of the Marquis's family. For several generations, no capable people have emerged, and their ancestral connections have long been exhausted. Otherwise, they would not have arranged a marriage with the increasingly declining Marquis's family, nor would they have come to apologize.
Little princess?
Hehe, it's just a title. Without any powerful backing, it's nothing.
Wang Ruo's parents' expressions turned sour upon hearing this.
"Changqing! Stop talking nonsense!" Song Yu shouted upon seeing this.
Changqing also shut up.
Song Yu then looked at Wang Ruo's parents and smiled apologetically, "Brother Wang, it's just a small matter between the children. Why bother you to make the trip yourself? Let the children resolve it themselves."
Before the other party could reply, he waved to the younger generation, "Go, go, all of you go down. Brother Wang and I want to have a good chat over tea. Don't get in my way."
Changqing withdrew.
Wang Ruo also glanced at her father and then left.
Neither of them spoke.
Once outside, Wang Ru crossed her arms and snorted.
"You win."
Her tone was sarcastic.
However, Changqing had no intention of speaking to her at all. He had already walked away after leaving the room. When she turned around, she only saw a hurried figure from behind, which made her even angrier.
Song Changqing!
You are being incredibly unreasonable!
Wang Ruo stomped her feet.
Both are members of the Song family, so why is Song Changming such a gentleman, polite and articulate, while Song Changqing is such a scoundrel and infuriating?
She couldn't help but think of another person.
"Ruoruo".
Just then, Song Changming appeared at the corner and called out naturally.
When Wang Ruo turned around and saw it was him, her face lit up with joy, but then she straightened her face again and snorted.
"Who gave you the right to call me Ruoruo?"
Song Changming stepped forward, his smile as warm as a spring breeze, "My heart tells me to say that."
"you."
Two blushes appeared on Wang Ruo's face.
Song Changming stopped a few steps in front of her and apologized first, "Ruoruo, don't be angry with Song Changqing. He's a jerk. It's not worth getting angry with him. Come on, I'll take you for a walk around my house. There's a garden on the west side where the lotus flowers are in full bloom. It's so beautiful..."
Wang Ruo hesitated for a moment.
But then he suddenly remembered Changqing's attitude and made a firm decision.
I'll go!
Why should she care about that bastard's thoughts?
The two walked out one after the other.
If Wang Ruo didn't care about Chang Qing's thoughts, then Chang Qing naturally wouldn't care about her actions either.
It doesn't matter.
Maybe it's a destined marriage for them.
In the days that followed.
Through the system, Changqing witnessed the development of the relationship between Song Changming and Wang Ruo.
Song Changming was very proactive.
He felt a strong sense of victory, having stolen the woman from the man he hated most.
At first, the two only met at some major events and exchanged a few words. No one found this strange; they simply assumed that Wang Ruo was asking Song Changming about Changqing.
After all, these days, who would choose a son born out of wedlock if they could marry a legitimate son?
Later on, the two met more and more frequently.
With fewer large gatherings, they started meeting up privately.
"Heh, you've got some nerve."
After hearing that the two had gone boating on the lake in secret, Changqing gave his opinion.
That's not surprising.
Song Changming always felt that his parents favored his older brother, so he always tried to compete with him for everything, including the family business and women.
What about Wang Ruo?
She disliked him from the beginning, and being with Song Changming gave her a sense of revenge.
See?
Even the Song family, whose second young master is more outstanding, has been attracted to me. What can a good-for-nothing like Song Changqing with a bad reputation do?
Deep down, she even harbored a faint expectation.
That is, how will Song Changqing break through his defenses after he finally learns everything?
Since the engagement cannot be dissolved, she will find someone else.
That's just how capricious I am!
Both of them thought this would hurt Changqing, so although they tried to avoid people, they intentionally or unintentionally let Changqing see them.
Changqing chuckled to himself.
Such tricks won't work on him.
He's busy right now.
Although he was just so-so when he went to school, he loved reading picture books. After reading a lot of them, he felt that the picture book stories of this era were terrible.
I drew it myself!
The story was obviously copied, but the illustrations were his own. He used the pseudonym "Mr. Qing" to create picture books based on the story of Journey to the West. Some of these books were printed and distributed through bookstores and gradually became popular.
Stories of gods and demons are naturally appealing.
First, the child became engrossed in it, then the adults, out of curiosity, watched along, and then they too became engrossed.
Countless people went to the bookstore to urge for more updates.
However, Mr. Qing was very mysterious, and the bookstore had no idea about his background, nor had they ever seen his true face.
no way.
The key point is that Mr. Qing doesn't update at a fixed time, but rather whenever he feels like it, so even the bookstore manager doesn't know when he'll appear.
The only one who knew Mr. Qing's true identity was Jianqiu.
At this moment, she was holding Changqing's newly completed manuscript, her entire head almost buried in it.
a long time.
She looked up.
"Young master, you must tell me, after Sun Wukong subdued Zhu Bajie, were there any new members added to their team? And what kind of monsters were they?"
Changqing smiled and shook his head, "I can't give away any spoilers."
Jianqiu pursed her lips.
She stared at Changqing for a long time, then sighed.
“Young Master, I really didn’t expect that you would not only read picture books, but also start drawing them yourself. If people knew that Mr. Qing was you, they would be shocked. I have heard a lot of people talking about Mr. Qing recently. It is said that the princes and princesses in the palace love to read your picture books.”
Changqing smiled and said, "That's a classic, so it naturally has its charm."
