Chapter 134: Don’t Blame me for Being Rude
Translator: _Min_
When Song Ling was enveloped in irritation, his phone buzzed. Seeing that it was a call from Wang Lan, he hesitated for a moment before answering, a frown already in place.
Song Ling asked, “What is it?”
Wang Lan’s voice choked with emotion: “Son, your grandpa has kicked us out of the house because of that wicked girl, Gu Dai. The property is in his name, and we don’t know what to do tonight.”
Wang Lan’s derogatory term for Gu Dai made Song Ling’s frown deepen. He spoke coldly, “I’ll send you an address later. Go and stay there.”
Wang Lan quickly agreed, “Good, son. Thank God for you; otherwise, we’d be at a complete loss.”
On the other end, Song Yu, upon hearing Song Ling’s voice, urgently chimed in: “Big brother, I’m the real granddaughter. Why is grandpa favoring Gu Dai?”
Faced with Wang Lan and Song Yu’s questions, Song Ling didn’t want to answer. He just wanted to end the call.
But Wang Lan beat him to it, speaking faster than he could hang up.
Wang Lan said. “Son, I’ve been neglectful before, nearly getting you married to two women of poor character. Just wait, this time I’ll find you a well-rounded young lady from a good family.”
Song Yu added quickly, “Brother, you’re such a great man; surely there are plenty of excellent women lined up to marry you. You’ll bring home someone far better than Gu Dai or Jiang Yue.”
Wang Lan, hearing Song Yu’s words, grew anxious and interjected: “How can you even compare those two? One is a shameless woman pretending to be innocent, and the other is a two-faced, malicious bumpkin. I suspect the mess at this morning’s wedding might very well be Gu Dai’s doing!”
Song Yu agreed. “Exactly, after all, that vile Gu Dai is always up to no good. She just can’t stand to see brother happy and wants to ruin—”
Hearing their words, Song Ling’s frown turned into a scowl. He took a deep breath and cut them off sharply. “Enough!”
Wang Lan and Song Yu were stunned into silence by Song Ling’s harsh tone.
Recovering first, Song Yu spoke in disbelief, “Brother, you’re actually yelling at me?”
With a cold snort, Song Ling spoke to them icily. “I’d like you to be more mindful of your words and actions!”
Song Ling didn’t give Wang Lan and Song Yu time to react. He continued, “Don’t think I’m unaware of what you’ve done to Gu Dai over these past three years! Regardless, she saved grandpa back then. You should stop whatever you’re doing now, or don’t blame me for being rude.”
With that, he hung up the phone.
Wang Lan and Song Yu sat dumbfounded, staring at each other as the line went dead. Both saw the hurt reflected in each other’s eyes.
All they had ever wanted was a deserving wife for Song Ling. Yet, not only did he show no gratitude, he even scolded them!
And as for the old man, they had stood by his side for so many years, only to be overshadowed by Gu Dai in a mere three years.
If only Gu Dai had remained the timid housewife she once was, they could have vented their frustrations on her. But now, she had transformed into a prominent figure in the Gu family of the capital city.
Song Yu was so infuriated that her face almost contorted. After holding it in for a long time, she finally couldn’t help but say, “Mom, we can’t let Gu Dai get away with this. We have to teach her a lesson!”
Although Wang Lan was equally angry, she hesitated. “But your brother said—”
Song Yu interrupted, “So what if he said it? Mom, think about how we’ve been mistreated. Can you really swallow that insult?”
Wang Lan responded. “I can’t!”
Song Yu nodded, “Exactly. Let’s think about how to deal with Gu Dai.”
After hanging up, Song Ling angrily tossed his phone onto the desk. To his surprise, it rang again the next second.
Assuming it was Wang Lan again, he answered without even looking, his tone far from pleasant. “What else do you want? Spit it out!”
Zhou Ci, hearing Song Ling’s irritated voice, responded with a chuckle, “Hey, man, who got under your skin like this? I just saw the entertainment news.. Is it about the wedding?”
