"You really have no taste." Song Yanxue unhappily threw the skirt in her shopping bag back in. "Why did you suddenly ask about her?" She didn't like Ling Yue. Although she was from a prominent family, Ling Yue always looked like a bullied girl as if everyone was bullying her. In comparison, Ling Meng behaved more like the young miss of the Ling family. If Ling Meng's love interest was not her brother, she would have insisted that Ling Meng marry her brother.
"You don't like her?" Song Ziyuan could tell from Song Yanxue's disgusted expression.
"I don't like her. In fact, I really dislike her." Seeing Granny Wang walking over with a bowl of bird's nest soup, Song Yanxue put her shopping bag on the nearby sofa. "Granny Wang, you can put that on the coffee table first. I'll drink it later."
"Yes, young miss." Granny Wang put the bird's nest on the coffee table and picked up the shopping bag on the sofa. "Young miss, let me take your things back to your room."
Song Yanxue nodded and sat down on the sofa, hugging a stuffed animal pillow. She gently squeezed it. "Help me cut up some fruit later."
"Sure."
Song Ziyuan sat down next to Song Yanxue. "I think Ling Yue is quite a nice person." Before interacting with Ling Yue, he didn't actually like her either. Whenever he saw her, she always had her head down as if she was not presentable. But now his impression of Ling Yue had completely changed. On the other hand, he didn't like Ling Meng. She always encouraged her younger sister to buy unsuitable clothes for her and made her sister dye her hair and put on heavy makeup, claiming it was non-mainstream. Just looking at it hurt his eyes.
Song Yanxue rolled her eyes in contempt. She picked up the bird's nest on the table and took a sip. "Brother, do you have a problem with your eyes? If she was good, would the Ling family banish her from the family? Fortunately, Mu City brother canceled their engagement, otherwise Mu City brother's life would have been ruined by her."
"Maybe Mu City would regret it one day?" Song Ziyuan smiled mysteriously.
Song Yanxue glared at Song Ziyuan. "Impossible. Absolutely impossible." Were all the young ladies in the Capital City dead? There's no way Mu City brother would go back to an ex.
Song Ziyuan didn't argue with Song Yanxue. "Go to bed early tonight. We'll leave at 7:30 tomorrow morning. Also..." He glanced contemptuously at Song Yanxue's outfit. "Really ugly."
"7:30? So early? What if I can't get up?" Song Yanxue wailed. It was summer vacation now. She slept in every day until she naturally woke up. Making her get up early in the morning, she really couldn't do it.
"Then don't go if you can't get up." Song Ziyuan left those words and headed towards his room. He was really looking forward to Ling Yue and Zhou Mu City's meeting tomorrow.
Song Yanxue angrily stomped her feet. Remembering what Song Ziyuan just said about her being ugly, she looked down at what she was wearing. "Where is it ugly? This is obviously fashionable, non-mainstream. No appreciation."
The morning air was exceptionally fresh. The dewdrops on the tree leaves shone brightly in the sunlight like crystals, making people want to pick them.
Ling Yue had just finished breakfast when someone knocked on the yard gate.
Granny Xu went to open the door. Seeing Song Ziyuan at the door, she was a little surprised. "You are Young Master Song."
"Hello!" Song Ziyuan smiled politely. "I'm here looking for Ling Yue. We agreed to meet today yesterday."
Granny Xu smiled and nodded. Facing the room, she called out, "Little miss, Young Master Song is here."
"Coming." Along with a cheerful voice, a girl wearing a white T-shirt, jeans, sneakers, and a baseball cap that completely covered her face with a mask came out.
Seeing Ling Yue's bright eyes, Song Ziyuan felt regret. If that fire had not ruined her looks, how nice would that be.
Ling Yue walked up to Song Ziyuan. "Let's go."
Song Ziyuan handed Ling Yue the bag he was holding. "I just bought breakfast on the way. This place has really good food. Try it."
"Thanks. But I've already eaten." Ling Yue shook her head with a smile. Turning to Granny Xu, she said, "I'm going," and followed Song Ziyuan out of the alley. The alley was secluded and narrow. The brick road was a little damp and dim. Several bricks in the darker corners were already covered in moss.
Song Ziyuan didn't insist. He smiled and took back his hand. "My car is parked outside the alley. My sister came along too. You should know her. She goes to your school, Song Yanxue."
Of course Ling Yue knew her. In the original owner's memories, the original owner did not get along well with Song Yanxue at all. Under Ling Meng's instigation, Song Yanxue would often bully the original owner.
Song Yanxue kept yawning. Last night, she had forgotten the time while reading comics and only went to bed at 4 am. Now her eyes were so tired she couldn't keep them open.
Hearing voices, Song Yanxue turned to look. Seeing Song Ziyuan walking over with a girl wearing a mask, she asked, "Brother, who is she?"
"Ling Yue."
"Why did you bring her?" Song Yanxue's face soured.
"Ling Yue is my friend. If you don't want to go with us, you can go home yourself." Song Ziyuan hardened his face too.
"Who is more important to you, your sister or her?" Song Yanxue glared fiercely at Ling Yue. She was so annoyed!
"Are you going or not? If not, get out of the car." Song Ziyuan's tone turned cold. He went forward and opened the passenger door.
"Humph!" Song Yanxue glared at Song Ziyuan and turned her head without saying anything more. She knew her brother's temper. Arguing with him further would definitely get her kicked out of the car.
Seeing that she had stopped talking, Song Ziyuan also didn't dwell on it. He closed the passenger door and opened the rear door. "You take the back seat."
"Ok." Ling Yue nodded and got into the car.
Song Ziyuan closed the door and circled to the driver's seat. After getting in the car, he started it up and glanced at the rearview mirror. "It's a bit far. There's mineral water and motion sickness medicine in the back."
"I don't get carsick." Seeing newspapers in the back, Ling Yue asked, "Can I read the newspapers?"
"Go ahead." Song Ziyuan gave a faint smile and withdrew his gaze.
Seeing the interaction between the two, Song Yanxue became more and more angry. She took out her phone and sent a message to Ling Meng. Although Ling Yue was Ling Meng's sister, she knew that Ling Yue was very afraid of Ling Meng.
Ling Meng was half-asleep when she heard the notification sound. She reached out to grab her phone from the bedside table and opened her sleepy eyes to look. Seeing the message was from Song Yanxue, she opened it. Reading the content, she instantly became fully awake.
"How did Ling Yue get together with Song Ziyuan? She really has some skills. I underestimated her before." Ling Meng gave a cold laugh and replied Song Yanxue with a message: "Do you know the address?"
Hearing the notification sound, Song Yanxue opened it and glanced at it. She sent an address to Ling Meng.
