Han Jin He’s expression turned even darker, "Doctor Song, I leave her in your hands." He was very disappointed in Sheng Mei at this point.
"Dad!" Han Sheng Mei looked at Han Jin He in disbelief. How could he hand her over to Song Yan Ning? She was his daughter after all.
Song Yan Ning curled her lips into a smirk and looked at Han Sheng Mei, "Do you have a problem with me?"
"No," Han Sheng Mei glared furiously at Song Yan Ning. She had more than a problem with her; she wanted to kill her.
Song Yan Ning smiled faintly, "This is your last chance. I hope you’ll cherish it. If you provoke me again, you won’t be so lucky next time."
With that, Song Yan Ning turned and walked away. If Han Jin He hadn’t saved Elder Mie Yu, she would definitely not have let Han Sheng Mei off so easily. She was not going to be so magnanimous towards someone who wanted her dead.
"Doctor Song!" Han Jin He called out but, seeing that Song Yan Ning had no intention of stopping, he turned to Han Sheng Mei and slapped her hard across the face, "You have truly disappointed me."
Han Sheng Mei was stunned, covering her face, looking at Han Jin He in shock. Since she was young, he had never laid a finger on her, but today, for the sake of an outsider, not only did he want her to apologize, but he also hit her. Who was his daughter? Was it her, or was it Song Yan Ning?
"Where did I go wrong? Why are you treating me ?" The more Han Sheng Mei thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, tears uncontrollably sliding down her cheeks.
"You shouldn’t have provoked Song Yan Ning," Han Jin He said with a dark look in his eyes. She still didn’t see the error of her ways.
"Song Yan Ning is just a discarded daughter of the Song Family; why can’t I provoke her?" Han Sheng Mei asked indignantly.
"A discarded daughter?" Han Jin He snorted coldly and took a deep breath, resisting the urge to slap Han Sheng Mei again, "Do you think a discarded daughter could put our Han Family at risk of bankruptcy so easily? Do you think a discarded daughter could heal someone on the brink of death? Sheng Mei, Song Yan Ning is not as simple as you think she is. Since she has given you a chance, you’d better cherish it and not provoke her again, or no one will be able to help you." He had seen many people and was very confident in his ability to judge character; Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen were definitely more formidable than he had imagined.
Han Sheng Mei hung her head, her eyes filled with resentment. She didn’t believe that Song Yan Ning had such capabilities. If not for Qin Yushen’s help, Song Yan Ning was nothing. As for why Song Yan Ning could heal that woman, it was just a fluke. She would never let go of Song Yan Ning. How could she have a good ending when she threatened her?
"Think it over carefully!" Han Jin He scoffed and then left.
"Sheng Mei, I know you feel wronged, but Song Yan Ning is not a simple person. Don’t provoke her anymore, otherwise, even if Song Yan Ning spares you, I will not," Han Zaiye warned her coldly.
"Why do you all want to side with Song Yan Ning to bully me?" Han Sheng Mei glared at Han Zaiye, her voice shrill with a crazy desperation. She couldn’t understand why her own family wouldn’t support her but instead sided with an outsider.
Han Zaiye shook his head, "I’ve said all that needs to be said. It’s up to you to listen or not." If she continued to be wilful, nobody could save her.
After speaking, Han Zaiye didn’t pay any further attention to Han Sheng Mei and left the room.
Han Sheng Mei watched the door close again, her eyes filled with raging anger, her contorted face terrifying. It was all because of Song Yan Ning; she wanted to kill Song Yan Ning.
Song Yan Ning had just returned to the hotel when she saw Dean Liu and his party sitting in the hotel lobby.
"Doctor Song!" Seeing Song Yan Ning, Dean Liu approached her warmly.
"Dean Liu, why are you all sitting here?" Song Yan Ning asked curiously, glancing at the group.
"We’ve been invited by the President of Korea to attend a charity banquet, and this is your invitation," Dean Liu said, handing Song Yan Ning the invitation. They were in the lobby waiting for Song Yan Ning. Without her, they wouldn’t have received such treatment.
"A charity banquet?" Song Yan Ning looked at the invitation after receiving it.
"Yes, according to the staff member who brought the invitation, only our medical team and the medical team from Country Y have been invited," Dean Liu said with a smile. It wasn’t easy to enjoy such treatment in a foreign country.
Song Yan Ning nodded, "You go ahead, I won’t be attending." She only wanted to cultivate and increase her strength now. Her power was insufficient to deal with her enemies back in the Demon World.
"But you’re the main guest of the banquet," Dean Liu said, understanding the President of Korea’s reason for sending the invitation.
Song Yan Ning smiled, "I’ve got some things to handle and really can’t make the time."
"Alright," Dean Liu nodded, a bit helplessly.
Song Yan Ning returned to her room and saw the note she had left on the table, which surprised her a bit. She glanced at Qin Yushen’s room and saw that the Array Formation Restriction was still up, which meant he was still cultivating.
With a slight curl of her lips, Song Yan Ning headed toward her own room. She had already arranged with Elder Mie Yu that once her cultivation recovered, they would return to the Demon World.
She closed her room door, set up an Array Formation Restriction, and entered the Spiritual Pearl.
Approaching Spirit Lake, Song Yan Ning stepped into the water and closed her eyes to enter the state of cultivation. The Spiritual Lake Water contained rich Spiritual Energy, which could cleanse her meridians and was very helpful for her cultivation. This was also the reason for her rapid increase in cultivation.
As time imperceptibly slipped by, Song Yan Ning didn’t know how long she had been cultivating; feeling that the Spiritual Power in her body had stabilized somewhat, she opened her eyes, ending the cultivation.
Feeling her cultivation had improved, Song Yan Ning smiled satisfactorily and stepped out of the Spiritual Pearl.
Leaving her room, she saw that Qin Yushen’s door was still closed; Song Yan Ning slightly frowned and checked the time on her phone. She had spent half a month in cultivation. Before starting to cultivate, she had called and instructed the hotel staff not to disturb them; otherwise, they would have called the police long ago, given that they hadn’t gone out for so long.
Just then, her phone rang. Song Yan Ning saw the caller ID, "Dean Liu."
"You finally answered. Is everything alright?" Dean Liu sighed with relief. They hadn’t seen Song Yan Ning or Qin Yushen since returning from the charity banquet, and their calls went unanswered. He asked the hotel staff, who relayed Song Yan Ning’s message to him, and he felt somewhat relieved. But he had been worried for several days due to being unable to reach her.
