So if you're scheming, please, Mom and Dad, only scheme against her!
She can bear anything; she is willing to sacrifice her own happiness in exchange for her parents' satisfaction and the safety of Aunt Song and Wenwen.
"Wenwen, remember to stay awake."
"Your mother and I are definitely fine, Zhili. Don't worry, we will definitely find a way to get you out of the Cheng family."
"No need." She paused for a moment and said, "Wenwen, you and Auntie don't need to do anything for me. I'm doing fine at the Cheng family's house."
"What a load of rubbish!" Song Wenwen couldn't help but swear. "Cheng Zhili, have you been brainwashed by them?! Your life shouldn't be like this!"
"No matter what my parents' motives are, they haven't harmed me. For our circle, the Ji family and Ji Yunyang are already very good choices. Many people want to squeeze me out but don't have the chance!"
She pretended to be relaxed, which made Song Wenwen even angrier: "This is not about whether the Ji family and Ji Yunyang are good or not, but about your future. You should choose it yourself, not have it arranged for you."
"So my choice is to let my parents arrange it. Wenwen, you don't need to persuade me anymore. You can call me stupid, but I'm just stubborn like this."
After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone, and Song Wenwen was so angry that her chest hurt.
"What's wrong?" Song Xia asked in surprise.
"It's Zhili. I don't know what's gotten into her. She clearly knows the Cheng family's disgusting intentions, but she still willingly jumps into the fire."
Song Xia had anticipated this and patiently explained, "For Zhili, those are the parents who raised her from childhood, so the feelings are naturally different. Just like you and me, if an outsider were to sow discord between us, would you believe them and leave your mother?"
“It’s different. Mom, your love for me is selfless, but the Cheng family only schemes against her.”
"But in Zhili's growth process, you can't deny that Yu Peiyan really put her heart into it. Human emotions are very complicated. Some people are decisive and learn from their mistakes, while others are indecisive and stuck in the past. Just like what you often call being love-struck, some girls know that the man doesn't treat them well and even beats them often, but they still refuse to break up."
Song Wenwen scratched her head in frustration. So Zhili is acting like a love-struck fool, knowing it's a trap but still jumping in? How can she be so stupid, not thinking about herself?
You think of the Cheng family, but have the Cheng family thought of you?
"Mom, what should we do?"
"Take it slow and see what the Cheng family is planning to do to make Zhili gradually lose heart towards them. If she insists on listening to them, there's nothing we can do. Let's just do our best to protect her happiness. After all, marriage isn't the only thing in life. People can get divorced after marriage. What does their engagement mean?"
Wenwen nodded as if she understood, which seemed to make sense. Marriage was just a small episode in life, and there was still a vast world waiting to be explored. It wasn't like she had to stay at home forever just because she married Ji Yunyang.
"Alright, then we'll listen to you, Mom. Anyway, Zhili is still a few years away from marriageable age. Maybe she'll come to her senses in those few years, or maybe the Cheng family will decline even more and be unable to control Zhili anymore!"
Song Xia smiled approvingly. Unlike the two children, one was pessimistic and the other anxious. There was still a long way to go, so why rush? Everything that Zhili had been suppressing would eventually be released.
Perhaps on that day, Cheng Shizhang and Yu Peiyan will voluntarily give up their control over Zhili. What she needs to do is to become stronger.
The next day, as Song Xia expected, Yu Peiyan and Zhili arrived at her door, along with Cheng Zhibo.
Cheng Zhibo looked at Song Wenwen with a meaningful gaze, his inner turmoil no less than anyone else present. He never imagined that Song Wenwen was actually his own sister!
When he heard the news a couple of days ago, he even thought his parents were joking with him. What a coincidence! But fate is just so cruel.
He had mixed feelings about Song Wenwen. He used to be glad that Zhili had such a good friend, but later he felt that Song Wenwen had led his sister astray and made her overthink things all the time.
But what if Song Wenwen is his biological sister?
He seemed somewhat relieved for Song Wenwen, relieved that she didn't have to live with the burden of her family's honor and didn't have to shoulder so much responsibility.
However, she can't continue to be so willful and willful. She's fifteen or sixteen years old now, and it's time for her to be sensible and grow up. For example, regarding the matter of acknowledging her biological mother, how could she talk back to her mother? She's her own mother who gave birth to her!
Of course, Song Wenwen didn't give him a friendly look.
She dislikes no one in the entire Cheng family except Zhili. Can Cheng Zhibo really ignore Zhili's marriage proposal?
To put it bluntly, everything Zhili sacrificed was for the benefits he had built up.
But since Mom specifically instructed us to let them in today, let's do it.
This was clearly not Zhili's first time here, but Yu Peiyan and Cheng Zhibo looked around curiously, gaining a deeper understanding of Song Xia's wealth once again.
The mother and daughter lived in a duplex. The first floor had only two bedrooms, namely Song Xia's bedroom and the nanny's room. The remaining 100 square meters were a living room and an open kitchen.
The house was originally purchased fully furnished. Because the developer had excellent quality, Song Xia didn't make any major changes afterward, but only hired a stylist to decorate the home.
She has plenty of money, so the designers can buy whatever they want without restraint. As a result, everything in sight, from lamps and sofas to curtains and decorative lights, is a luxury item. Because of the good matching, it makes them look even more sophisticated.
What startled Yu Peiyan was the vase on the entryway cabinet. It wasn't a luxury item, but the flowers in it were all strung together with gemstones.
Song Xia followed her gaze, and explained with a slight smile, "I like to do some handicrafts in my spare time. I bought a lot of gemstones a few years ago, and they weren't very good quality, so I made this."
Yu Peiyan couldn't laugh. Song Xia spoke so casually, but she couldn't ignore it. She was a woman who wore jewelry; how could she not know the value of these gems? Song Xia actually used them for this? It was simply a waste of precious resources.
She wondered again, could you really make so much money selling barbecue?
She was deeply jealous. The Cheng family's business hadn't been doing well in recent years, and she hadn't bought any decent jewelry for several years. She looked down on the ones that cost tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan, but she was always hesitant to use the tens of millions of yuan pieces because the company needed working capital. Unlike Song Xia, who spent all her money on herself.
What's there to be smug about? I just don't want to take over Cheng's shares. If I wanted to, I could have plenty more.
