Clenching her lips, she said, "Are you done talking? If you are, please leave... And by the way, Yu Dou, I don’t need you to worry unnecessarily about my affairs!"
Yu Dou smirked lightly, "Don’t worry, I’m not Song Yansheng; I don’t like meddling in other people’s business... But after all, I am your uncle, even if I don’t want to meddle, there are some things I have to remind you about: what you gain, you will inevitably lose something. If you feel like you’ve lost it all, then what you sacrifice must be yourself, both body and soul!"
That day, after Yu Dou finished speaking, he left. She did not want to delve into the meaning of Yu Dou’s words.
She did not think he was helping her by saying this, so she simply ignored it.
About two minutes later, Song Yansheng finished his call and returned.
Seeing that not much was eaten from Shi Nuan’s bowl, he asked, "What’s wrong? Are you full?"
Shi Nuan concealed the strange feeling in her heart and nodded softly, "Almost..."
Song Yansheng raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "But it seems like I’m not full yet. Nuannuan, keep me company and eat a bit more, okay?"
Looking at Song Yansheng’s handsome features and those excessively clear eyes, Shi Nuan couldn’t bring herself to refuse.
Finally, she nodded lightly and said, "Okay!" fre(e)webnove.l.c.om
Over there, Shi Nuan and Song Yansheng continued dining, while outside, Yu Dou quickly returned to his own booth.
Inside, Song Qingyang was sitting there, her face pale, with a faint glistening of wetness at the corners of her eyes.
The man pulled out a chair and sat down, giving her a faint glance before asking, "What’s wrong? Did you get upset?"
Song Qingyang’s damp eyelashes fluttered as she spoke, "Second Uncle said that if you insist on not backing out of the engagement, there’s nothing he can do..."
"Oh~~" Yu Dou responded, his tone flippant, "But I think the reason you’re upset is probably not just that!"
"And... I asked him if Xiao Chuan were still alive, would he marry Shi Nuan... Do you know how he replied? He said he would... He actually said he would..."
Song Qingyang bit her red lips, tears spilling one by one, "How could he do that? Xiao Chuan was his own nephew. Xiao Chuan respected him so much, protected him, always thought of saving something good at home for Second Uncle, yet he... he actually took Xiao Chuan’s fiancée..."
"And, do you know how ridiculous it is? The night before Xiao Chuan died, the two of them were already sleeping together. Even if Second Uncle said at that time Xiao Chuan and Nuannuan had broken up, what kind of families were the Shi Family and the Song Family? Could such a break-up be decided by just two youngsters? If it could be decided, would I still be so tangled up with you?... They... they had both betrayed him while Xiao Chuan was still alive. How could they do that... how could they?"
Yu Dou listened to her complaint, his face showing no expression. He took a sip of the wine at his side, and asked softly, "Anything else?"
Song Qingyang’s eyes trembled, "More? Isn’t this enough? Do you know how much Xiao Chuan liked Shi Nuan? To get engaged to Shi Nuan, he knelt before my father and begged him. Even though our Song Family is going downhill, you should see more clearly Shi Nuan’s position in the Shi Family. If it weren’t for Xiao Chuan’s insistence, how could they have successfully gotten engaged? But Xiao Chuan gave so much, and what did he get in the end? What did he ultimately get?"
Yu Dou set down the wine glass, furrowing his dark brows with a cold smile, "Miss Song, I really didn’t expect, after talking with Song Yansheng for so long, that you’d talk about so many useless things!"
