But every time you see me winning certificates and trophies from competitions, you get indignant and, when no one's looking, tear up my certificates and smash my trophies... Do I need to say more?
Song Lan looked at Song Ning without showing any emotion.
"You, you..."
Song Ning pointed at Song Lan, muttering "you" for a long time without being able to say anything more. Her face had turned a liverish color, clearly indicating that she didn't know how to refute him, making her both angry and frustrated!
Song Lan slapped away the hand that was pointing at her and said, "Pointing at people is very rude and shows a lack of manners. If you don't want to suffer a big setback because of such behavior in the future, you'd better remember what I'm telling you today."
"What makes you think you're so superior?"
That was Song Jiaojiao's voice. Her eyes were blazing with fury as she gritted her teeth and said, "You've been living a life of luxury by my parents' side for years, using my identity. What gives you the right to act so high and mighty in front of me?! Song Lan, let me tell you, you owe me a debt you'll never forget!"
"Am I high and mighty? Do I really am?"
Song Lan looked completely bewildered. She said, "As for taking over your identity and enjoying years of happiness? Song Jiaojiao, have you forgotten why we were switched at birth? Have you forgotten that my parents raised you?"
The mix-up at birth wasn't our fault. I was indeed doing well in your family, but you were doing just as well in mine.
"What's so great about it?! I've been suffering in your house..."
Before Song Jiaojiao could finish speaking, Song Lan interrupted her: "Shut up! You want to suffer? In the village, which parents dote on you like my parents do? If you suffer, why are your hands so tender and calloused when you come back home?"
Upon hearing this, Song Jiaojiao's face instantly turned bright red.
"Aren't you ashamed?"
Song Lan remained calm and said, "The conflict between us is actually just you targeting me, and the reason you're targeting me stems from Chen Dongze. But the problem is, Chen Dongze and I have no relationship anymore."
It's your business if you like him, and it's his business if he likes you or not. But you're acting like a mad dog, blaming me for Chen Dongze's dislike of you. You're desperate to see me ruined, and now you even want me to die so that Chen Dongze will hate me and erase all memories of me from his heart...
Song Jiaojiao, to be honest, if I were Chen Dongze, I wouldn't like a girl like you who has ulterior motives and would do anything to achieve her goals!
"You're talking nonsense! How could I have impure thoughts?"
Song Jiaojiao was furious and wanted to slap Song Lan in return for the slap he had given her.
Unexpectedly, Song Lan was faster than her and casually slapped her again.
"Speaking politely is also a form of good manners."
Song Lan's eyes were calm. She stared directly at Song Jiaojiao, as if she hadn't seen the two large handprints she had left on the other's face, and said, "Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. I've said it before, don't fall into my hands again, or I'll keep my word and make you regret being born!"
As soon as she finished speaking, ignoring the murderous glares from Song Jiaojiao and Song Ning, Song Lan turned and walked out of the room.
In the living room, Qin Yanzheng, Song Weimin, and Song Chenguang felt increasingly awkward as they sat down.
The reason is simple: the group had nothing to talk about. To be precise, Qin Yanzheng didn't initiate any conversation, while Song Weimin and his wife talked about almost everything they could say or ask. Well, to put it simply, it was more like Song Weimin and his wife started the conversation, and Qin Yanzheng gave brief replies.
And these simple replies are really simple; they either respond with "um" or add a few more words, but they don't initiate any conversation.
"Let's go, Dad and the others are waiting for me to cook!"
Song Lan returned to the living room and her gaze fell directly on Qin Yanzheng. Upon hearing her words, Qin Yanzheng immediately stood up and said, "Okay."
"Lanlan, let's eat before we go back!"
Luo Yueqin and Song Weimin stood up. Luo Yueqin smiled at Song Lan and said, "It's been a while since we've seen each other. Let's sit down and have a good chat before your sister-in-law finishes cooking."
"I'll spend more time with Auntie next time I have the chance."
Song Lan declined, then greeted Song Weimin and Song Chenguang before leaving the living room with Qin Yanzheng.
The moment Song Lan turned around, Song Weimin and his wife's expressions turned ugly. Naturally, they didn't see Song Lan and Qin Yanzheng off, but just watched Song Chenguang see them off.
"She calls me 'uncle' and you 'auntie,' which means she really doesn't want to have any deep involvement with us!"
"I know you're upset, but what can we do? Putting aside Jiaojiao's attitude towards her adoptive parents, there's also the matter of how we... we forced the girl to divorce and remarry when the Qin family had that incident."
We've already alienated her from our hearts... but the fact that she's come to give us a hundred-year blessing shows she doesn't want to push things too far. Since we've accepted the New Year's gift, let's just leave it at that for now!
"If we don't deal with it this way, do you have a better solution? I'm just a little annoyed!"
"You're a grown man, is it really necessary to get angry with a little girl?!"
Luo Yueqin comforted Song Weimin, saying, "By the way, do you think we should also let Jiaojiao go and wish her adoptive parents a Happy New Year?"
"Jiaojiao is at home, how can she go?"
Song Weiqiang sat back on the sofa and casually said something.
"What I mean is to wait for Jiaojiao to return to Shisong Village, bring her New Year's gifts and go to her adoptive parents' house. Actually, it's more about helping Jiaojiao repair her relationship with that family than paying a New Year's visit."
Luo Yueqin had a plan in mind, saying, "If this relationship is good, our relationship with that brat Lanlan and her parents will naturally improve as well. In the future, if we need the Qin family's help, it will be easier for us to ask them for help."
Upon hearing this, Song Weimin opened his mouth, about to say something, but unexpectedly, when he saw Song Jiaojiao appear in the living room with two handprints on her face, he couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "What happened to your face?"
Before Song Jiaojiao could speak, Song Ning's gloating voice came from behind her: "She got beaten up by that brat Song Lan!"
You're gloating.
Luo Yueqin's face was gloomy, and she used a declarative tone.
"Mom, why are you saying that to me?"
Song Ning looked unhappy and said, "I didn't make things up."
"Lanlan hit Jiaojiao, what are you doing?"
Luo Yueqin scolded, "As the eldest sister, don't you know how to advise your two younger sisters? Are you just going to stand by and watch Lanlan beat Jiaojiao?"
"Why should I try to stop her? It was Song Jiaojiao who spoke recklessly in front of that brat and got slapped twice. If I tried to stop her, wouldn't I get slapped too?!"
Song Ning spoke confidently. Upon hearing this, Luo Yueqin asked Song Jiaojiao, "It's the New Year, and Lanlan came to our house to wish me and your father a Happy New Year. This is a good thing. Why did you go looking for trouble and provoke Lanlan to attack you?"
