Zhou Lei started to suspect that Song Hua did not hear what she was saying.
Otherwise, why would Song Hua reject her?

Awench like Song Hua should be very looking forward to going to a tea party.

Zhou Lei said patiently. “The tea party is at 11:30. I give you ten minutes to change your clothes. If you are too slow, don’t blame us for not taking you.”

“I said that I was not free.” Song Hua did not even raise her head. Instead, she turned a page of the book.

Her voice was still faint and emotionless.

Zhou Lei frowned slightly and could barely hide the look of disgust in her eyes. She thought Song Hua was really unpresentable.

If Song Baoyi had not asked to take Song Hua to the tea party, Zhou Lei would not have thought of giving Song Hua a chance to go to such a high-class place.

However, not only did Song Hua not thank Song Baoyi for that, but Song Hua also refused to go to the tea party.

Song Hua’s biological parents were definitely not good people. Otherwise, why would they have such an ungrateful daughter?

“It’s up to you.” Zhou Lei picked up the dress. “If you don’t go this time, you will never be able to go to such an occasion.”

Zhou Lei thought that Song Hua would be afraid when she heard this.

But Song Hua still looked indifferent as if she did not hear it.

What a b*tch!

Zhou Lei was furious. She held her dress tightly with both hands and glared at Song Hua before she left.

Only then did Zhou Lei realize that she did not recognize any of the words on the book in Song Hua’s hand.

It was not like any language Zhou Lei knew.

How could a wench like Song Hua read it?

Did Song Hua really think that she could be like Song Baoyi by holding a book written in a foreign language? Song Baoyi was proficient in four languages and famous for her brilliance in River City.

Zhou Lei brought the dress downstairs.

“Mom, why are you taking the dress down?” Song Baoyi already changed her clothes. Today, she wore a white blouse, a black skirt, and a pair of limited edition white shoes. Also, Song Baoyi put on perfect makeup, which made her look very beautiful.
Song Baoyi’s title of being the number one beauty in River City was not groundless.

“Is it because she doesn’t like the dress I chose for her?” Song Baoyi continued to ask.

It gave Zhou Lei a headache when Song Baoyi mentioned Song Hua. Song Baoyi always looked out for Song Hua.

But Song Hua never treated Song Baoyi as her younger sister.

“It has nothing to do with the dress. She said that she was not free,” Zhou Lei said.

Song Baoyi glanced up. “Is she very busy?”

Song Hua just returned from the countryside. She did not know anyone in River City and was unfamiliar with this place. Song Baoyi really could not think of what Song Hua was busy doing.

Zhou Lei continued, “When I went upstairs, I saw her holding a book written in a foreign language. In my opinion, she was just putting on an act. How funny!”

“A book written in a foreign language? What language is it?” Song Baoyi was a little curious. Thinking that Song Hua could speak a foreign language, Song Baoyi continued, “Maybe she can really understand it.”

Song Dalong made his fortune in the 1990s. He was not very culturally educated, so he idolized cultured people. Song Dalong was arty and bought a lot of famous paintings. When Song Baoyi grew up to be a talented young woman, Song Dalong longed to tell everyone that his daughter was omnipotent.
‘Then, Song Dalong put a big bookshelf in the living room. The bookshelf was filled with world-famous books. Almost everyone who came to the Song family’s house knew that Song Baoyi was knowledgeable.

Zhou Lei pointed at one of the books on the bookshelf and said, “It seems to be this language.”

Song Baoyi turned around and looked. “This is Ethian language.”

In Song Baoyi’s opinion, even she could not understand Ethian language, let alone Song Hua.

It turned out that Song Hua was really pretending to know what she didn’t know.

Song Baoyi did not expect Song Hua to be so conceited. Song Hua must have noticed that there was a book about Ethian characters on the bookshelf in the living room, and that was why she bought one book written in Ethian language.
Didn’t Song Hua understand that she could never be like Song Baoyi?

Zhou Lei continued, “If Song Hua isn’t going to get engaged to Yu Tingzhi on your behalf, I would never want to see her in my life. She’s nothing but a jinx.”

“Don’t say that,” Song Baoyi continued, “Since she doesn’t want to go, you don’t need to force her to do it. It’s about time. Let’s go.”

Zhou Lei nodded and said, “Baoyi, she has never treated you as her sister. Besides, she is not your biological sister. Therefore, there’s no need for you to pour your heart out to her. It’s not worth
Song Baoyi smiled. “I don’t care how she treats me. I just want to do what I think is right.”

Zhou Lei shook her head helplessly.

Song Baoyi was too kind.

Zhou Lei was a little worried that Song Baoyi would lose out in the future.

Song Hua was reading when she suddenly felt a little tired. Then, she covered her head with the book and fell asleep.
All of a sudden, the kitten on the ground jumped onto Song Hua.

Song Hua wanted to shake the kitten off. Nevertheless, she suddenly thought of something and put her hand on the kitten.

On the tall building opposite the Song family’s villa.

Two young men stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

One of them was tall and straight in build, wearing overalls and a black t-shirt. He held a pair of binoculars in one hand and put the other hand in his pocket. Although his deep eyes were hidden under the binoculars and his face was covered, he looked aggressive.
He pursed his lips.

And the air around him was cold.

“Tingzhi, did you see it?”

“No.”

‘Wang Dengfeng was a little anxious. “I mean the drone at three o’clock.”

Yu Tingzhi slowly moved the binoculars towards three o’clock.

Ina few moments, the apple of his throat bobbed.

He could see through the binoculars that a beauty was sleeping soundly.

The kitten was lying on her knees.

Although the beauty covered her face with the book, her good body was exposed. She bent her long legs on the chair. A few strands of her hair fell from the chair and flew in the wind.
Who was she?

“Is it the Song family’s house?”

Ina few moments, Yu Tingzhi spoke indifferently.

His voice was a little low.

“Probably,” Wang Dengfeng replied.

“Did you say that Song Dalong had one other daughter besides Song Jinfeng?” Yu Tingzhi continued to ask.

Wang Dengfeng was a little helpless. “Tingzhi, I’ve told you many times that your fiance’s name is Song Baoyi, not Song Jinfeng.”

Wang Dengfeng added, “Song Dalong adopted a child before Song Baoyi was born.”

Hearing that, Yu Tingzhi seemed to have thought of something and frowned slightly.

Wang Dengfeng went on, “Speaking of which, Song Dalong’s adopted daughter is quite pitiful. When Song Dalong and Zhou Lei just got married, Zhou Lei couldn’t get pregnant. Later on, they adopted a child and Zhou Lei got pregnant not long after that. Then, Zhou Lei gave birth to Song Baoyi. When
Song Baoyi was about six years old, she was diagnosed with liver failure. If it wasn’t for the fact that Song Dalong’s adopted daughter donated her liver to Song Baoyi, Song Baoyi wouldn’t have survived. However, after Song Baoyi recovered, Song Dalong and Zhou Lei sent their adopted daughter to the
countryside and ignored her.”

People said it was because Song Dalong’s adopted daughter was disobedient that Song Dalong and Zhou Lei sent her to the countryside. Nevertheless, Wang Dengfeng didn’t think so.
No matter what kind of person Song Dalong’s adopted daughter was, Song Dalong and Zhou Lei should raise her right for she donated her liver to save Song Baoyi.

Yu Tingzhi did not say a word. His eyes hidden under the binoculars were deep.

After a moment, he put down the binoculars. “Let’s go back.”

It was a simple sentence.

Wang Dengfeng was stunned. “Tingzhi, did you see that drone?”

“No.”

Wang Dengfeng said, “That is impossible. The drone was right there. Give me the binoculars and let me take a look.”

“There’s nothing to see.” Yu Tingzhi threw the binoculars onto the sofa. “Let’s go play games.”

Hearing that they were going to play games, Wang Dengfeng immediately perked up. “Let’s go.”

Hearing the sound of her son playing games with Yu Tingzhi, Mrs. Wang was disappointed with Wang Dengfeng. Then, she looked at Wang Dengyue, who was talking business with Mr. Wang in the living room, and let out a long sigh.
After a long time, Wang Dengfeng pushed Yu Tingzhi’s wheelchair and walked downstairs. “Dad, Mom, I am going to send Tingzhi back and I won’t come home for dinner tonight.”

Mrs. Wang nodded with a smile. “Okay. Drive slowly! Tingzhi, you are welcome to come over when you have time.”

Although Yu Tingzhi’s reputation was bad, he was still her son’s good friend. Besides, Yu Tingzhi was a decent guy with a good appearance, so Mrs. Wang didn’t hate him.

Yu Tingzhi replied, “I will.”

Mr. Wang was too lazy to talk with his useless son and he didn’t want to look at Yu Tingzhi. Hence, Mr. Wang turned around and walked into the study.

Wang Dengyue put away the documents and followed his father into the study as if he didn’t see Yu Tingzhi.

In Wang Dengyue’s opinion, he was an ambitious person. All his good friends were elites. Therefore, he didn’t want to waste his time talking to Wang Dengfeng and Yu Tingzhi.

Wang Dengfeng pushed Yu Tingzhi’s wheelchair to the door. Thinking of the attitudes of his father and Wang Dengyue, Wang Dengfeng was afraid that Yu Tingzhi would feel uncomfortable. Hence, Wang Dengfeng said, “My father and my brother are always like that. Tingzhi, don’t take it to heart..”
