Chapter 274 Song Mo Admits Defeat
Song Nanxi raised an eyebrow, a half-smile playing on her lips, "I remember you took a picture back then, didn't you?"
Song Yang couldn't help but shrink back when she looked at him like that.
From the very beginning, he knew that his cousin was a ruthless person.
He didn't understand why his uncle's family, and even his own mother, disliked her.
In Song Yang's opinion, Song Nanxi was much better than Song Yirou.
He gave a sheepish smile, trying to get away with it by being cute, "Cousin, I don't know what you're talking about."
"Is that so?" Song Nanxi's gaze swept over him, and without saying a word, her ambiguous expression was enough to make Song Yang panic.
"Okay, okay!" Song Yang immediately confessed without being asked. "Cousin, I just thought you were super cool, and my aunt has always been arrogant. When have I ever seen her lose face? I just couldn't resist recording it to remember the moment! I swear, I definitely didn't post it randomly!"
What a silly child.
"If you send this out, I'll kill you, you know?" Song Nanxi smiled gently.
Song Yang nodded quickly with a bitter face.
"Don't worry, cousin, I wouldn't dare!"
Song Nanxi scoffed and ignored him.
Song Nanxi noticed that although the three Song siblings had all grown up to be somewhat distorted, the younger ones, like Song Yang, were actually doing alright so far.
I don't know if it's a problem with how Grandpa Song raised his children—but if Song Nanxi said these words, Grandpa Song would probably be so angry he'd vomit blood.
Song Hong and Song Qi came with the intention of repairing their relationship, so they naturally couldn't go against Song Nanxi at the banquet. They said nice things throughout the meal, making Old Master Song smile from ear to ear.
Seeing how happy Grandpa Song was, Song Nanxi couldn't help but smile.
She knew that the elderly all wanted family happiness and harmony among their children and grandchildren, but Song Nanxi was rather selfish; she wouldn't easily let go of anyone who was on her blacklist.
However, if Song Hong and Song Lan can continue to be so sensible and keep Grandpa Song happy, Song Nanxi wouldn't mind giving them a little bit of benefit.
Just consider it a way to appease the dog.
After a few rounds of dinner, Song Nanxi felt the private room was too stuffy and got up to go to the restroom.
She had barely left when there was a knock on the door of the private room.
Song Yang was close to the door, so he casually opened it and looked at the unfamiliar man with a puzzled expression.
The man wore glasses and had a refined and scholarly demeanor.
Upon seeing Song Yang, she smiled at him and said, "Hello, may I ask if Miss Song is in this private room?"
So he was looking for his cousin! Song Yang suddenly realized!
Could this be another one of his cousin's men? Song Yang couldn't help but scrutinize him with a critical eye.
It was Shi Lou who arrived.
He smiled, letting Song Yang look him over.
The door was opened a little wider, and Old Master Song saw Shi Lou.
She was pleasantly surprised. "It's Xiaolou! You're eating at this restaurant too?"
Shi Lou nodded. "Today is a family dinner, I'm here with some elders. Grandpa Song, I heard you're here too, so I thought I'd come over and say hello."
"Oh, come and sit down."
Grandpa Song was very pleased. "I haven't seen you for the past few days. Have you been too busy with work?"
Shi Lou obediently walked over and said, "I recently accompanied the leaders on an inspection tour of the grassroots level and just got back yesterday."
"Working at the grassroots level is tough, no wonder you've lost weight! Want to sit here for a while?"
Shi Lou hesitated, "Wouldn't that be too much of a disturbance? Isn't Grandpa Song having a family dinner today?"
"It's alright! There's plenty of room!" Old Master Song waved his hand, then turned to Song Hongshi and glared at him, "Move aside!"
Judging from how warmly he treated Shi Lou, anyone who didn't know better would think Shi Lou was his grandson.
However, judging from what Shi Lou said, he was a leader who was inspecting the grassroots level, so he was probably in politics.
Song Hong quickly smiled and made way for him, "Come on, sit here."
Shi Lou remained composed, but aside from Old Master Song, his inherent arrogance would involuntarily emanate when facing others.
That's the kind of aura that comes from being pampered since childhood.
"It's troublesome."
Shi Lou gracefully took his seat and asked, seemingly casually, "Grandpa Song, Miss Song isn't here?"
"Her..." Old Master Song then realized that Song Nanxi was not there.
Song Yang quickly raised his hand, "Grandpa! My cousin went to the bathroom!"
Toilet.
Song Nanxi pushed open the cubicle and came out to wash her hands at the sink.
A short-haired woman dressed casually next door was also washing her hands, and the two did not make eye contact at all.
After drying her hands, Song Nanxi wondered where to kill time.
As she walked out of the restroom, a large hand suddenly reached out and tried to pull Song Nanxi away.
bang——
Song Nanxi patted non-existent dust off her shoulder and looked at the person who had been kicked away.
Song Nanxi was not surprised at all when she saw that it was Song Mo.
If Song Hong and Song Lan can be here, then Song Mo can certainly be here too.
The short-haired woman strode towards Song Mo. "Who are you? What do you want?"
"and many more."
Song Nanxi called out to her.
Unsurprisingly, this woman was probably one of the people sent by her superiors to protect her.
Knowing that male bodyguards are restricted to certain places, they thoughtfully arranged for a woman to come instead.
Upon hearing this, the woman immediately stopped what she was doing.
Song Nanxi had an idea for how to pass the time; wasn't this what she was looking for?
She looked Song Mo up and down. After not seeing him for a while, Song Mo had become so thin that he was almost unrecognizable, with his cheeks deeply sunken.
He hadn't shaved, and his unkempt appearance gave him a disheveled look.
No one would doubt that he was a homeless man.
"Song Mo, you wouldn't be stupid enough to come and assassinate me at this time, would you?"
Why was he arrested, and what happened to him inside? Is it still impossible for him to accept reality?
Song Mo was in excruciating abdominal pain, so he simply sat down on the ground. His unkempt hair hung down, and behind the strands, his eyes were gloomy and haggard. "Song Nanxi, I have nothing left now. Are you satisfied?"
"Song Mo, you're still as shameless as ever," Song Nanxi said, arms crossed. "Ask yourself honestly, was your failure really because of me?"
Song Mo's face contorted for a moment.
He suddenly burst into laughter, the laughter so unrestrained that he coughed a few times in an awkward manner. "Arguing about this now is truly pointless. Song Nanxi, in this contest, you are the complete winner. Now, neither I nor Xiaorou can pose a threat to you."
He leaned against the wall, struggling to stand up, staring intently at Song Nanxi, and asked, word by word, "So, can you please let Xiaorou go? A perfectly healthy person staying in that kind of place, even if she's not sick to begin with, will go crazy sooner or later."
Song Nanxi was genuinely surprised this time.
She looked at Song Mo seriously, without any malice, and said, "Song Mo, you're actually quite the romantic."
Song Mo did not refute, "So, I'm begging you, please let her go."
It's as if all his pride has been broken; now his only obsession is Song Yirou.
Song Nanxi shook her head. "Song Yirou left the mental hospital a long time ago. What, she didn't contact you?"
