"I heard you were here, so I came to say hello," Han Zaiye walked over to Song Yan Ning, smiling as he gazed at her. Song Yan Ning was the only woman who had ever dazzled him, her beauty as pristine and flawless as a lotus emerging from the water, her bright, spirited eyes seemingly filled with a sky full of stars, making her already stunning face look even more dazzling and enchanting. Sadly, she was not a woman he could handle; otherwise, he would never give up on such a special woman.
Song Yan Ning turned her head, her expression a mixture of a smile and not a smile, as she looked at Han Zaiye.
"I actually came to verify something with you," Han Zaiye felt exposed under Song Yan Ning’s discerning gaze, leaving him nowhere to hide.
"Okay," Song Yan Ning nodded slightly.
"Was it you who took action against our Han Family before?" Han Zaiye asked.
"Yes and no," Song Yan Ning replied. If it weren’t for Han Jinhe and Elder Mie Yu’s involvement, she would certainly not have spared the Han Family, especially Han Shengmei and Han Zaiye.
"What changed your mind then?" Han Zaiye was curious. He felt that Song Yan Ning was not someone who would easily change her mind.
Song Yan Ning shifted her gaze to Han Jinhe, who was coming out of a room.
Han Zaiye turned his head and saw Han Jinhe approaching them, "Dad!"
Han Jinhe nodded slightly, smiling at Song Yan Ning, "Doctor Song, please come with me."
Song Yan Ning followed Han Jinhe.
Han Zaiye also followed.
The three of them reached the outside of a room, where two tall bodyguards stood by the door.
Han Jinhe stepped forward, pushed the door open, "Doctor Song, please come in!"
Song Yan Ning stepped into the room and saw the mess inside. Han Shengmei was lying on the bed, and the tear stains at the corners of her eyes showed she had just fallen asleep not long ago.
"Sheng Mei," Han Zaiye realized why Han Jinhe had brought Song Yan Ning here; he stepped forward and gently patted Han Shengmei’s shoulder.
Han Shengmei opened her eyes, and seeing it was Han Zaiye, tears immediately welled up in her eyes, "Brother, please let me out, okay? I don’t want to be locked up here." She wanted to find Yushen before he left Korea, to tell him that she liked him.
Han Zaiye ignored Han Shengmei and emotionlessly walked to one side.
It was then that Han Shengmei noticed Han Jinhe and Song Yan Ning next to him. Agitated, she sat up and pointed at Song Yan Ning, "Why are you here?"
Song Yan Ning shook her head silently. How could Han Jinhe, such a shrewd man, have such an intellectually challenged daughter?
"Sheng Mei!" Han Jinhe snapped coldly.
Han Shengmei shivered with fear. If there was anyone in the world she was afraid of, it was definitely her father.
"Apologize to Doctor Song," Han Jinhe commanded sternly.
"Why should I apologize to her?" Han Shengmei grumbled defiantly. Song Yan Ning was now the person she hated the most and her rival in love; how could she possibly apologize to her?
"Did you not hear what I said?" Han Jinhe’s voice grew colder.
Han Shengmei felt a chill and swallowed hard, reluctantly looking at Song Yan Ning, "I’m sorry."
"What kind of attitude is that?" Han Jinhe was very dissatisfied with Han Shengmei’s demeanor.
"I’ve already apologized..." Han Shengmei said stubbornly. How could her father do this, making her apologize to a stranger, and even caring about whether her attitude was sincere? Saying sorry to Song Yan Ning was already humiliating enough; was she expected to kneel and apologize to her too? She was the princess of the Han Family, and Song Yan Ning was just the Song Family’s discarded daughter; she didn’t deserve her apology.
