Chapter 85: Eighty-five, Lesson
Yang Lisheng shook his head, "Mr. Song doesn’t know; Xiao Ning just called to ask." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Li Meixiang suddenly nodded in realization and looked at Zhang Xiaoling, "My dear, this is where you’re wrong. Xiao Ning, after all, is your granddaughter; can’t you even bear to let Mr. Song give her a piece of jade?" No wonder people say the richer one is, the stingier they become.
"Mom, you don’t understand," Yang Xin’er spoke up. If it was ordinary jade, would she and her mother-in-law bother to come here with such a fuss?
"What don’t I understand? I may not be as wealthy as you, but I never regret and take back what I give out, and I’m not playing house like a child," Li Meixiang gave Yang Xin’er a disdainful glance, then turned to Song Yan Ning, "Xiao Ning, Grandma has made breakfast, come and eat with Grandma." She had originally wanted to invite them inside to sit, but since they came to bully Xiao Ning, she couldn’t care less about them. If they don’t consider Xiao Ning as family, why should she treat them as guests?
Song Yan Ning smiled and nodded, taking Li Xue Mei’s hand with one hand and Yang Lisheng’s with the other, "Grandpa, let’s go eat breakfast."
"Alright!" Yang Lisheng nodded and walked towards the house with Song Yan Ning and Li Meixiang, with no intention of acknowledging Zhang Xiaoling and Yang Xin’er.
Zhang Xiaoling and Yang Xin’er trembled with anger. When had they ever been treated with such coldness?
Yang Xin’er stepped forward quickly, blocking the path of the trio, "Unless you hand over the jade today, don’t even think about entering the house." She was all in now; she didn’t plan to associate with them in the future anyway, so she might as well break off relations today.
"You!" Li Meixiang and Yang Lisheng looked at Yang Xin’er both angry and saddened, their hearts feeling as though they were being squeezed, suffocating them. They were angry at themselves for not having raised her properly to prevent her from becoming what she was now.
Song Yan Ning looked coldly at Yang Xin’er, "Step aside! Or don’t blame me for being ruthless. This is your last warning." Her words carried an astonishing sharpness.
Confronted with Song Yan Ning’s cold, icy eyes, Yang Xin’er’s heart uncontrollably shuddered, and she involuntarily stepped back. She had thought it was an illusion before, but this time she clearly felt it; how could a seven-year-old child have such a powerful aura?
"Grandma, Grandpa, let’s go inside and ignore them," Song Yan Ning averted her gaze, pulling Yang Lisheng and Li Meixiang towards the house. If they continued to cause trouble, she would show them the consequences of provoking her.
"This is just outrageous," Zhang Xiaoling walked up to Yang Xin’er’s side, "Let’s go inside." She would not give up today until they returned the White Jade.
"Mom, we should make a call and have Yufeng send some people over," Yang Xin’er suggested, thinking about Song Yan Ning’s recent look and her warning, she was a bit too afraid to go in.
"Do we need to make such a fuss? Let’s just go inside, what’s there to be afraid of? It’s not like they would dare to hit us," said Zhang Xiaoling as she pulled Yang Xin’er inside.
Having walked only a few steps, Zhang Xiaoling and Yang Xin’er felt a numbness in their chests, and then discovered they couldn’t move. A sense of unease and panic rose within them simultaneously.
Yang Xin’er knew that Chinese medicine could involve acupoints, but she had only heard of it and never seen it, because her father couldn’t use acupoints, much less from such a distance. Could it have been Song Yan Ning? Had Song Yan Ning’s medical skill advanced to such a degree?
Song Yan Ning curved her lips in satisfaction and began to have breakfast with Yang Lisheng and Li Meixiang. As for the two outside, they could use the time to reflect on their behavior. Her silver needle wasn’t just for immobilizing them; it would also make them look unsightly for a while. Since they kept calling her a monster, she was going to let them experience what it feels like to be a monster.
Mr. Song arrived at the quadrangle courtyard and was somewhat surprised to see the two people standing motionless at the entrance. "What’s going on with you two?" They stood there silently, which was unlike either of their personalities.
Zhang Xiaoling and Yang Xin’er wanted to speak but found themselves unable to make a sound. They were now regretting having come here; had they known how terrifying Song Yan Ning was, they would never have acted so impulsively.
"They’ve been struck at their acupoints," Song Yan Ning walked out of the house.
Mr. Song was taken aback, "Struck at their acupoints? You did it?"
Song Yan Ning nodded and stepped forward. She pulled out a silver needle from both Zhang Xiaoling and Yang Xin’er, "If there’s a next time, it won’t be just this."
Zhang Xiaoling and Yang Xin’er found they could move again and quickly retreated two steps, their eyes filled with terror as they looked at Song Yan Ning. They really couldn’t understand how Song Yan Ning could be so frightening.
Song Yan Ning took out the White Jade and handed it back to Mr. Song, "Here, take it back." She hadn’t wanted it to begin with; he had insisted on giving it to her.
Mr. Song gave Zhang Xiaoling and Yang Xin’er a stern look, "This is yours." Once he had given it to her, he wouldn’t take it back. Having seen what had just happened, he was even more certain of his decision. Just yesterday, he had asked several old friends to try to secure her a spot to enter the Emperor Realm. With Xiao Ning’s abilities and temperament, if she entered the Emperor Realm, she was sure to become even stronger.
"Can you assure me they won’t cause trouble again?" Song Yan Ning glanced at Yang Xin’er and Zhang Xiaoling. She couldn’t guarantee she would be in as good a temper next time.
"I can!" Mr. Song nodded resolutely. He was the head of the Song Family; if he didn’t have that much authority, the Song Family would have been overrun by other emerging families long ago. Right now, the major families seemed to be at peace on the surface, but beneath it, the undercurrents were raging. One misstep could result in their place being taken by another family.
Song Yan Ning took back the White Jade, "Fine, but this is the last time."
"Uh-huh!" Mr. Song’s smile grew. He was growing more and more fond of this granddaughter, and it would be even better if she was willing to return to the Song Family. He was certain that under her leadership, the Song Family would definitely head towards a more glorious future. He believed in his judgment.
Yang Lisheng and Li Meixiang exchanged a smile. It seemed that Mr. Song still held Xiao Ning in high regard.
"Xiao Ning, Grandfather is a bit tired from the walk. Would you mind brewing a cup of tea for me?" Mr. Song looked at Song Yan Ning with a hopeful twinkle in his eye.
"Please, come inside and sit," Song Yan Ning turned and walked towards the interior.
Mr. Song laughed heartily, following Song Yan Ning’s steps. After a few steps, he stopped, turned his head to Zhang Xiaoling and Yang Xin’er, "You two, go back." He was now going to have tea and a good chat with Xiao Ning; he would settle the score with them when he returned. If he didn’t assert his authority as the Family Head this time, they would continue to disregard his words in the future.
Yang Xin’er and Zhang Xiaoling exchanged a look and turned to walk towards the outside. They certainly didn’t want to stay here; what if they were immobilized again later?
