"Are you out of your mind?! Whether or not Chen Dongze takes a liking to me is none of your business. Do you have to curse me like this?"
Yes, I'm not exactly good-looking, but why don't you look in the mirror? With your flat nose and small eyes, you're practically an ugly monster compared to me. What gives you the audacity to laugh at me?
Song Jiaojiao showed no mercy to Song Ning, her words hitting the bullseye. Unsurprisingly, Song Ning's expression changed drastically from the shock. He suddenly stood up, rushed over, and slapped Song Jiaojiao across the face.
"Ah! Song Ning, I'll fight you to the death!"
The pain on her face caused Song Jiaojiao to lose her mind instantly. She ignored Luo Yueqin and Song Weiqiang sitting in the living room, and disregarded the incredulous stares of Song Chenguang, his wife, and his younger brother Song Chenyang as they looked at her and Song Ning.
Just as Song Ning was showing his smugness, he slapped the other person twice, and in the next moment, he grabbed Song Ning's hair, dragged him to the wall, his eyes were vicious and his face was ferocious, and he slammed Song Ning's head against the wall.
"Dad! Mom! Help me! Big brother, help me!"
Song Ning naturally resisted, swatting at Song Jiaojiao with both hands, but Song Jiaojiao was surprisingly strong at this moment, and managed to make Song Ning's head hit the hard wall.
The impact left Song Ning dizzy and in tears.
Everything happened too fast. When the others in the living room came to their senses, they almost simultaneously got up and went to pull Song Jiaojiao and Song Ning apart.
"Are you crazy?!"
Luo Yueqin slapped Song Jiaojiao, her face cold, and stared straight at Song Jiaojiao, saying, "It's just a quarrel between sisters, is it worth taking your sister's life?!"
"Song Ning is your daughter, and so am I, Song Jiaojiao. Why don't you hit her, but only me? Wasn't it she who started the trouble by making sarcastic remarks?"
She scratched my face again before I retaliated, and in your eyes, it's all my fault? Did you find me on the street?
Song Jiaojiao cried loudly, looking at Luo Yueqin as if she were an enemy: "I hate you, I hate everyone in this family. You don't treat me like family. Do you think I care about you?"
She turned and ran to her room, slamming the door shut with a bang, crying as if her parents had died.
Song Weiqiang sat back on the sofa, his face as dark as ink, and said, "Always making a racket, if you don't want to stay in this house, get the hell out of here!"
"dad……"
Song Ning looked at Song Weiqiang with a wronged expression. She felt that what Song Weiqiang said was directed at her, and she felt extremely sad.
"I'm not your father, and I don't have a daughter like you who stirs up trouble and seems to want nothing more than chaos in the house!"
Song Weiqiang's gaze on Song Ning was devoid of any warmth. He said, "As the older sister, you don't know how to be considerate of your younger sister. Instead, you're constantly picking on her. Do you have no heart, or do you not even consider Jiaojiao your sister?"
His gaze shifted to Luo Yueqin, Song Weiqiang's voice filled with dissatisfaction: "They're both your children. Even if Jiaojiao didn't grow up by your side, as their mother, can't you handle the conflict between the sisters rationally? Why do you have to physically punish Jiaojiao?!"
In fact, between the Song Ning and Song Jiaojiao sisters, it wasn't just Luo Yueqin who favored Song Ning; Song Weiqiang felt the same way. This wasn't because they, as parents, intentionally treated each other differently.
One daughter grew up by their side since childhood, while the other returned to their side when she was almost eighteen. Emotionally speaking, the younger daughter undoubtedly carries less weight than the older daughter.
But reason told them they should make it up to their younger daughter. However, humans are emotional beings, and Song Jiaojiao, their younger daughter, was cunning and prone to causing trouble. For example, their adopted daughter's estrangement from them was a clear indication of this.
If it weren't for the youngest daughter's mischief and giving the couple bad advice, would their adopted daughter have started calling them "uncle" and "aunt" and maintained the last shred of politeness between them?
Feeling agitated, Song Weiqiang got up and went to the study with a sullen face before Luo Yueqin could defend herself.
"mom……"
Song Chenguang gently called out to Luo Yueqin.
"I'm going back to my room."
Li Wan tactfully left, knowing it was inappropriate for a daughter-in-law to remain in the living room. After all, her mother-in-law had been scolded by her father-in-law, and her husband was clearly trying to comfort her. If she didn't leave, she would be incredibly inconsiderate.
“My dad was just saying that in anger. I know you feel the same way about all of us siblings. Don’t be sad because of what my dad said.”
After his wife Li Wan left, Song Chenguang comforted his mother Luo Yueqin, but all he saw was Luo Yueqin's blank expression.
Song Chenyang sat on the sofa with his lips pursed, not saying a word. He had already hated his family when his sister Song Lan severed ties with them. He was extremely dissatisfied with his parents and older brother and sister, and he could be said to resent Song Jiaojiao.
In Song Chenyang's view, his parents and siblings were all selfish. Even though he didn't know that Song Lan's near-accident was related to Song Jiaojiao, he did know that it was Song Jiaojiao's idea for Song Lan to marry into the Qin family.
The boy had doubts about this. He didn't think Song Jiaojiao was acting out of kindness, trying to get his parents to rely on the Qin family and marry his sister Song Lan into the Qin family. But he also couldn't see Song Jiaojiao's true intentions.
Later, upon learning that his older sister Song Lan was living a good life in the Qin family, the young man didn't think much of it... Unexpectedly, as the Qin family experienced a change of fortune, his parents forced his older sister Song Lan to divorce and marry the mentally challenged son of Deputy Factory Director Qian. At this time, Song Chenyang finally saw Song Jiaojiao's sinister intentions.
To be more precise, he personally heard Song Jiaojiao suggest that her parents make her older sister, Song Lan, divorce her husband, get rid of the Qin family's burden, marry into the Qian family, become a wife to a mentally challenged man, and exchange this for benefits for the family.
Song Jiaojiao made her purpose ambiguous.
Song Chenyang wasn't stupid; how could he not understand?!
He opposed his parents' decision, but no one in the family listened to him. His older siblings supported Song Jiaojiao's suggestion, and they spoke in a very respectable manner, believing that it was a great thing for their sister, Song Lan, to divorce and remarry.
Knowing that no one in his family would listen to anything he said, Song Chenyang felt extremely isolated. He could only watch helplessly as his family, under the guise of doing what was best for his sister Song Lan, tried their best to persuade his beloved sister to divorce her husband and marry a mentally challenged man to live a supposedly better life.
Fortunately, his usually obedient and docile older sister, who always listened to his parents, underwent a dramatic change.
She refused to divorce and remarry, and also severed ties with their family.
He felt great, feeling that his sister Song Lan had finally stood up for herself. Even though he was reluctant to see his relationship with his sister gradually become distant, he was genuinely happy for her, that she wouldn't have to let his parents control her thoughts and ruin herself by being a "nanny" for a fool.
It was after discovering Song Jiaojiao's wickedness that he harbored deep resentment towards his second sister, who was related to him by blood.
Just now, I saw the other person get scratched by the older sister. To be honest, the first word that came to his mind was "serves him right," followed by "good for him."
Knowing full well that Chen Dongze was Song Lan's ex-boyfriend, she shamelessly chased after him to the countryside, wanting to date him. Where is her shame?
