Free Web NovelChapter 1339: Chapter 1219: I Won’t Ask Second Uncle
It was a weekend, Shi Nuan woke up early and found Song Yansheng wasn’t beside her. When she checked the time, it was already past eight.
Recently, she had been increasingly drowsy, and of course, waking up late today was also because she hadn’t slept well last night.
Shi Nuan got up, washed, and changed her clothes. By the time she went downstairs, it was almost half past eight. As she reached the staircase, she heard voices downstairs.
She paused for a moment, but the surprise was not because there were visitors at the Song Mansion, but because the person who came was truly unexpected.
It was Li Guirong.
A couple of days ago, Shi Nuan had a phone call with her Father, Shi Yuanbo. He showed her concern and care but did not mention wanting to visit her.
He only sent some of her mother’s books as a gift later.
Unexpectedly, Shi Yuanbo didn’t come, but the stepmother she had been at odds with for over ten years did.
Seeing Shi Nuan, Li Guirong immediately displayed a smile and greeted her, "Nuannuan, are you up? I was just talking to Mr. Song about you!"
Shi Nuan’s thin lips moved slightly, her tone indifferent, even a bit cold as she asked, "Why did you come?"
Li Guirong’s face changed slightly, but she still smiled and said, "I... It’s like this, your father cares about you very much and misses you. He wants to invite you and Mr. Song to the Shi Family for dinner, but he never dares. I see that your father is preoccupied with worry, and because I care for him, I came on his behalf to invite you. You see..."
Shi Nuan stood at the staircase, looking at Li Guirong, thinking back to how she had usurped her mother’s position as Mrs. Shi by giving birth to a son for her father.
Thinking that because of her, her father and mother ended up separated by life and death, it filled her heart with hatred.
This hatred had been suppressed for too long, or perhaps had just been transferred.
Yes, before she used to hate her father, because his actions led her and her mother to such a point.
Now, learning Tian Chao’s true origins, she found it laughable. But seeing her father, now gray-haired and gaunt-faced, indeed softened her heart.
Yet towards Li Guirong, she hated even more.
Shi Nuan did not answer Li Guirong’s question, instead, she coldly turned around and returned to the bedroom.
Li Guirong called "Nuannuan" but Shi Nuan ignored her. Li Guirong awkwardly looked at Song Yansheng beside her, "Mr. Song, you see this..."
Song Yansheng said, "I told you, our Nuannuan has her little temper. If you truly want to succeed in inviting her, you have to show utmost sincerity. But whether she accepts it or not is her own matter, I won’t interfere!"
Li Guirong opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say.
What was Song Yansheng doing? Suggesting she personally come to invite them, she personally came, wasn’t that sincerity enough?
Little did she expect Shi Nuan still refused, and Song Yansheng didn’t even say a single good word for her.
Song Yansheng instructed Aunt Hui standing beside him, "Go prepare breakfast, and take it upstairs to Lady!"
Aunt Hui agreed and was about to leave, but was stopped by Song Yansheng again.
"Once the breakfast is ready, bring it to me. I will personally take it upstairs!"
Aunt Hui glanced at Song Yansheng, agreed again, and left.
Li Guirong, hearing Song Yansheng say such, her eyes lit up, saying, "Mr. Song truly is considerate. Nuannuan hasn’t eaten breakfast yet. Talking to her at this moment will surely upset her. Once she’s full, Mr. Song will say a few words for me, and Nuannuan will surely agree!"
Song Yansheng narrowed his eyes, lightly sweeping towards Li Guirong, "Who said I would speak for you?"
Li Guirong was stumped, once again not knowing what to say.
Aunt Hui quickly prepared breakfast, brought it to Song Yansheng. He took the tray, stood up, glanced at Li Guirong, "Ms. Li, excuse me, I must go upstairs to deliver Nuannuan’s breakfast. Make yourself at home downstairs!"
Li Guirong awkwardly responded, watching Song Yansheng go upstairs.
After Song Yansheng left, Li Guirong looked at Aunt Hui standing nearby and smiled, "Your Mr. must really care for our Nuannuan!"
Aunt Hui didn’t respond to her words.
"But just now I heard Song Yansheng call Nuannuan ’Lady’, what’s this? Would Song Yansheng marry Nuannuan? How could it be, you know Shi Nuan is Song Yichuan’s..."
"Mrs. Shi—" Aunt Hui’s voice lightly interrupted her.
Even though Song Yansheng had already married Shi Nuan, Aunt Hui knew that this news must not be disclosed to outsiders.
Especially Li Guirong.
Everyone in T City knows her and Shi Nuan don’t get along. If she discovers that Shi Nuan and Mr. Song have registered their marriage, surely by tomorrow morning everyone in T City would know.
