“I will never have children in this lifetime,” Song Ye lied without blinking. “In the end, it’s me who dragged Guo Guo down. Now Guo Guo doesn’t blame me, but you’re the ones looking down on her?”
“I, Song Ye, will say it clearly today. Guo Guo is the treasure I will cherish all my life. No one is allowed to slander her maliciously.” As Song Ye spoke, his expression was especially cold. “Especially the Song family.”
“What happened back then, I will never forget.”
“At that time, I was too young to protect another important woman in my life, but now, I, Song Ye, am no longer someone you can toy with at will.”
Song Shengrong’s expression immediately darkened. “Just like before, you were born to be rebellious.”
Song Ye sneered, “Rebellious?”
“Song Shengrong, check your conscience and tell me, is it really me who is rebellious, or was it your Song family who went too far? If I really wanted to pursue it, I could sue you for bigamy.”
A cold smile tugged at the corner of Song Ye’s lips. “As it happens, on this trip to Beijing, I met two friends who are lawyers. They just returned to the country and should be eager to take on a case to make a name for themselves.”
The Song family members’ expressions all changed. If it had been in the past, they might not have feared Song Ye’s threats, but now, the Song family was no longer what it used to be. Besides, there were still some old enemies from the Zhou family. If someone really caught hold of any weaknesses, the Song family’s glory would truly come to an end.
“This time I came back just to see my sister and witness her finding happiness,” Song Ye glanced at the uneasy Song family members. “I’m not interested in any of you. I’ll be leaving soon to return to Tangjia Village.”
Of course, that was impossible. He had never forgotten his mother’s death. Those who owed his mother would pay the price.
“Useless,” Song Shengrong muttered under his breath. The others, hearing that he was going back to that godforsaken place, felt a bit of disdain. The two Song elders looked full of regret. Without a way through Song Ye, they dared not try anything with Song Qing or the Elder Yuan.
Zhou Yafeng, on the other hand, let out a sigh of relief. Back then, she had worked hard to instigate the two siblings being sent away in front of the Song elders. She didn’t want Song Ye to come back.
Now hearing that Song Ye couldn’t have children, had health problems, and was planning to return to that poor remote place, Zhou Yafeng felt somewhat pleased.
Back then, her inferiority complex stemmed from never being able to match up to the true daughter of a scholarly family like the Yuan family. She had always liked Song Shengrong, but with the Yuan family’s daughter in front of her, the Song elders would never have chosen her.
Fortunately, Song Shengrong didn’t care for cultured women and preferred someone gentle and demure like her. That chaotic era was the trigger for everything. The Yuan family’s daughter had been driven to illness and death by them. Her children were also sent away by Zhou Yafeng. The family that woman had painstakingly built was taken over by her.
That was the thing Zhou Yafeng was most proud of in her life.
She wished that Song Ye, who had been outstanding since childhood, would live a lifetime of mediocrity and never surpass her son.
Song Ye glanced at Zhou Yafeng, seeing right through her thoughts. The cold smile at the corner of his mouth didn’t fade, and Tang Guo noticed it. From the start, she realized that Song Ye didn’t return to Beijing on a whim. Especially after arriving, apart from handling the branch company, he had been busy with other things.
“I’ll tell you when we get back, Guo Guo.” Song Ye saw the confusion in his little wife’s eyes and knowing how smart she was he leaned close and whispered in her ear. His open and direct behavior made Shengrong so angry that his face turned ashen.
