Just now, in the dressing room, Song Yajing did not say much, but she expressed her words clearly. She said, “Mrs. Zhou, Shaoming is already all grown up and knows what he wants. Ning Qing is his wife, and nobody can change that, including me. Zhilei, you’re not young anymore. You should get married.”
Asking her to get married?
She couldn’t accept it; she had waited for Lu Shaoming all these years and had wasted all her beautiful youth.
Besides, she had loved such an excellent and mature man like Lu Shaoming. Who else in the world could measure up to his standard?
She thought with great resentment as a figure appeared in her peripheral vision. She looked up. Upstairs, Song Yingjie leaned against the door and looked at her quietly.
Zhou Zhilei quickly flashed a warm smile and gave him a signal, which meant that everything was going according to plan.
Song Yingjie was silent for a few seconds and nodded his head.
Zhou Zhilei laughed inside. Oh, she had Song Yingjie as a chess piece. Ning Qing’s good days are coming to an end.
Ning Qing looked at their communication quietly. She had no change in mood. She carried a book in her arms and went upstairs.
She wanted to go to the study, so she had to walk by Song Yingjie. When they were near each other, Song Yingjie spoke to her. His voice was not loud but enough for her to hear him, “Do you dare come to my room?”
Ning Qing raised her eyes and smiled. She looked at the teenager with bright autumn eyes and asked, “Can I trust you?”
Song Yingjie looked downstairs over the girl’s shoulder. Zhou Zhilei was looking at them.
Song Yingjie reached out and grabbed Ning Qing’s slender arm, pulled her into her room and closed the door.
Zhou Zhilei’s eyes glittered with light. Alright, she only had to wait for Song Yingjie’s phone notification.
…
In the room
Song Yingjie let go of Ning Qing, who straightened up her slender waist and smiled at the young man in front of her. “Say, what do you want, asking me to come in?”
“Zhou Zhilei asked me to give you drugs, and then she would bring my auntie in and catch us in the act.”
“What?” Ning Qing pretended to be shocked, and she quickly said, “Yingjie, what are you going to do? Zhou Zhilei is not a good person. She is using you to deal with me. Just now, she told me that you and your auntie are utter fools. You can’t be deceived by her.”
This “utter fools” had been made up by her. Sorry, Zhou Zhilei, for letting you take the blame. Haha!
“I already know that Zhou Zhilei has been using me. She had instructed me to do all those things before. Ning Qing, I’m sorry,” Song Yingjie said sincerely.
“That’s all right. Everyone makes mistakes. I forgive you this time.” Ning Qing patted the boy on the shoulder boldly. “But what about Zhou Zhilei’s plan?”
“On the stairs, I pretended to nod to her. She’s waiting for my call.”
“Alright Yingjie, do you want revenge? I have a plan, and I need your cooperation.”
“What’s the plan?”
Ning Qing mysteriously waved to Song Yingjie.
Song Yingjie bent down to listen.
Ning Qing whispered a few words. Song Yingjie thought for a moment, then agreed with a nod.
Ning Qing’s eyes curved as she smiled. She looked at the boy’s big bed. Then she walked over and sat on it. “I’ll pretend to faint then. You’ll send Zhou Zhilei a message and ask her to come here later.”
Looking at the girl sleeping comfortably in his bed, Song Yingjie’s handsome face was a little red. Although he was a rebellious and wayward rich young master, he has not come into contact with girls in recent years.
Not to mention having a girl in his bed.
He wouldn’t even look at the girls who were shy and weak in front of him. His heart was lonely and nobody could enter.
Ning Qing put the book in her hand beside the pillow. She had a sharp eye. Suddenly, she found a DVD beside the pillow, on which there was a scantily clad female star.
“Oh, Song Yingjie, you’re watching these things!?”
Song Yingjie saw her take his DVD and ran over quickly. He stretched out his hand and grabbed it. He was very angry and said, “Ning Qing, give it back to me; it’s not what you think! You’re violating my privacy.”
“You’re still making excuses, stupid boy; I am from the entertainment industry. I know this third-class star with one glance; you’re learning bad things!”
Ning Qing turned around. Her small hand held the DVD very high up. Song Yingjie reached up to get it. Right then, their faces were so close together.
Song Yingjie froze at that moment.
Her facial features were delicate. Her skin was so smooth it was as if water could be squeezed from it at any time. She smelled good. That night, when he was entangled with her in bed, he had smelled the fragrance of a girl.
He had accidentally kissed her on the face that night, and he got a slap from her.
Thinking of that, Song Yingjie’s eyes looked down at the girl’s lips. Her beautiful cherry pink lips were as moist as if she had applied lip gloss.
Song Yingjie quickly pulled back his hand and straightened up. He explained in a sullen tone, “I didn’t! This is from my classmates. I didn’t watch it at all.”
Ning Qing put the DVD back beside the pillow. “Stupid boy, this kind of thing can be seen occasionally. Take it as a source of knowledge, but can’t do it alright? Do you know that this kind of thing can only be done with the people you like, and you have to be responsible for whoever you touch? It’s a man’s most basic responsibility.”
“I understand.” Song Yingjie nodded.
…
Downstairs Zhou Zhilei was waiting anxiously for Song Yingjie’s message because she did not know how long her mother Kong Lan could keep Song Yajing busy.
At this time, she heard the Ding! of the mobile phone. Zhou Zhilei looked at it with joy.
The message was a bit unexpected, Song Yingjie had sent — things have changed, come up.
Things have changed?
Zhou Zhilei’s pupils shrank. She looked around a couple of times, then ran up the stairs, opened Song Yingjie’s door, and went in.
“Yingjie, what’s the matter, and what has changed?” As soon as Zhou Zhilei came in, she began to question Song Yingjue, and when she saw Ning Qing sleeping in bed, she immediately smiled and said, “Yingjie, isn’t this a success? Ning Qing has fainted in your bed. Quickly, you take off your clothes and make some false impressions. I’ll call someone,” Zhou Zhilei said, then ran out.
But her wrist was clasped, and she heard the boy behind her. His voice was so low as he asked with amusement, “You go and call someone, and then what?”
Zhou Zhilei turned her head and looked at Song Yingjie seriously. “Yingjie, what’s wrong with you? Then Ning Qing will be chased out from the Lu family, and I can be your sister-in-law.”
“Hah,” the corners of Song Yingjie’s lips slowly curved up, and his black and white eyes were clear as he said. “No, you’re talking about the consequences of a slut. What about me as a betrayer? Once everything comes to light, will I still be able to escape unscathed?”
Zhou Zhilei had never seen Song Yingjie like this. He had always listened to her and called her sister Zhilei.
“Yingjie, your surname is Song. What are you afraid of? What’s wrong with you? Haven’t we already planned everything? Is it… What did Ning Qing tell you? Has she strained our relationship?”
Song Yingjie smiled faintly. He pressed Zhou Zhilei closer to the corner of the room. Bam! He put one hand on the wall and the other on Zhilei’s shoulder.
Today, she wore a skirt with thin shoulder straps. Song Yingjie gently lifted the straps with one finger. Zhou Zhilei felt her shoulder grow cold, and the right half of her fragrant shoulder was exposed.
“Ah!” Zhou Zhilei screamed and quickly put her hand over her chest. She wouldn’t even dream that Song Yingjie would do such a thing to her.
“Yingjie, we can just talk things out! Tell me what happened, have you misunderstood me? I can explain it if you tell me what’s wrong.”
Misunderstood?
Song Yingjie’s smile became more and more brilliant. “My biggest misunderstanding is that I had once thought that you were a good person, one of the few people in the world who was good to me.”
…
Song Yajing and Kong Lan went into the living room. There was nobody in the living room. Song Yajing asked the servant, “Where is Young Master Yingjie, Young Madam, and Miss Zhou?”
These two days, she would often turn around and someone would disappear. Her eyelids were jumping, and she kept feeling that something was about to happen.
“In response to Madam’s question, I just saw Madam being dragged into the room by Young Master Yingjie, and then Miss Zhou opened the door and went in.”
What?
Song Yajing’s heart sank. She was still anxious about what had happened a couple of nights before. Why had Yingjie pulled Ning Qing into the room?
“Miss Zhou has also entered Young Master Yingjie’s room?” Song Yajing asked uncertainly. When had the relationship between Yingjie and Zhou Zhilei gotten so close and mysterious?
The servant looked at Song Yajing and calmly answered, “Yes, and Miss Zhou hasn’t come out.”
Song Yajing’s eyes instantly darkened with understanding. She had always felt something was off. Although Yingjie rebelled a little when he returned to T city, how could he have such harsh feelings towards Ning Qing?
Yingjie was her favorite nephew and was an easy target for those in need of a pawn. She hated it most when others approached Yingjie with malicious intent. That was forbidden by her!
Now it seemed that somebody had already started plotting behind her.
Song Yajing walked over to the stairs.
“Mrs. Lu.” Kong Lan grabbed Song Yajing’s sleeve in a hurry. “If the children are playing upstairs, let’s not disturb them.”
She had agreed with her daughter Zhou Zhilei. When the plans are put into motion, she will take Song Yajing upstairs.
But the plan had not included Zhilei. Why had she gone into Song Yingjie’s room?
Song Yajing was originally a person full of doubt, especially when Song Yingjie was involved. She was extremely protective of him. Now it was obvious that Song Yajing was doubtful.
The servant had also spoken in a strange tone just now too. How could he have reported so clearly when the three of them had entered the room one after another? The word “pull” was also used.
Unless…
The more Kong Lan thought, the more frightened she became.
She felt as if she were falling into a whirlpool.
Song Yajing turned around, and she saw Kong Lan’s panic at a glance. “It’s okay for us to go and see if the children are just playing upstairs. Why does Mrs. Zhou want to stop me? Now that I think about it, Mrs. Zhou had a talk with me that had lasted for half an hour just now. I’m unsure of your true intentions.”
“I…”
Song Yajing shook Kong Lan’s hand away and went upstairs quickly.
…
The door was unlocked. Song Yajing placed her hand on the handle and turned it gently. The door opened.
When she saw everything in the room, Song Yajing’s pupils contracted violently.
In the corner of the room, a man and a woman were entangled, both of them in untidy clothes.
