Chapter 818: Chapter 817: Let Me Leave
In the cafe.
Lin Ruoxuan was engrossed in playing a game.
"Yu Han, you’re here!" Lin Ruoxuan looked up, saw her enter the cafe, immediately stood up, and smiled at her.
"Mhm." Song Yuhan nodded.
"I’ve already ordered the meals for you, come sit down and rest, and let’s have lunch together."
"Thank you, but no need," Song Yuhan declined, "I have an appointment now, I might not be able to join you for lunch."
"An appointment? With whom?"
Lin Ruoxuan’s expression turned dark in an instant.
Song Yuhan, seeing her expression, felt a twinge of guilt, but to achieve her own plans, she had to do this.
"Don’t get anxious first, let me introduce a friend to you," Song Yuhan said, walking to the side of the driver, Chen.
"Miss Lin, hello." Chen, the driver, extended his hand, greeting her politely, "Just now, thanks to your timely warning, or else I might have gotten beaten."
"You’re welcome." Lin Ruoxuan snorted coldly, "Whoever it is, if they bully my people, they should be punished."
After saying that, she looked back at Song Yuhan, her tone full of jealousy, "Yu Han, why didn’t you tell me earlier that they were thugs? Do you know I was really worried that they might harm you?"
"I know," Song Yuhan smiled and nodded.
"Then why didn’t you tell me?"
"Because I wanted to teach them a lesson, to let them know not to think they can do whatever they want just because they have some dirty money."
After hearing this, Lin Ruoxuan couldn’t help but laugh.
"Yu Han, you’re right, but I like this version of you even more."
Song Yuhan also smiled, and she looked at Chen, saying, "Uncle Chen, tonight, could you personally escort me when I leave?"
"Of course, I, and others too, will protect you," Chen stated boldly as he patted his chest.
Song Yuhan smiled and nodded, "Then thank you all."
"Yu Han, don’t be so formal, do we still need to be strangers with each other?" Lin Ruoxuan spoke unhappily.
Song Yuhan glanced at Lin Ruoxuan and shook her head with a smile.
Lin Ruoxuan sighed helplessly, "Yu Han, you’ve changed, you’ve become smarter and more capable of concealing your edges."
"Isn’t that what you’ve always wanted?"
"..." Lin Ruoxuan’s eyes darkened, "What do you mean by that, weren’t all the things I’ve said before meaningful?"
"Not at all, you weren’t wrong; what you said was very true and meaningful, but you’ve never changed."
Lin Ruoxuan’s face suddenly turned awkward.
Song Yuhan smiled and said, "I’m just saying, those words don’t work on me, so please don’t take them to heart."
"If that’s the case, then that’s even better."
Song Yuhan smiled again, then extended her hand towards Lin Ruoxuan.
Lin Ruoxuan, startled by her gesture, slowly grasped her hand.
"Yu Han, I really envy you, having a loving husband and a clever daughter, you’re something I’ll never be able to learn," Lin Ruoxuan said sincerely.
Song Yuhan just smiled and didn’t respond.
"Let’s go, I’ll take you there and then head to the office," Lin Ruoxuan said.
The two left the cafe, got into the car, and drove towards the Song Family.
When Song Yuhan and Lin Ruoxuan reached the gate of the Song Family’s residence, Lin Ruoxuan’s car had not even stopped when Song’s mother rushed out and blocked her way.
Song Yuhan’s brows instantly furrowed.
Lin Ruoxuan quickly explained, "Mom, you’ve misunderstood, it was me who asked Yu Han out for tea; she didn’t mean to deceive you, please don’t blame her."
"Tea?" Song’s mother looked Lin Ruoxuan up and down. "The lady of the Song Family is Song Yuhan, not her. Who are you, an outsider daring to call yourself the lady of the Song Family, and even daring to act wildly in the Song household?"
"Auntie, Yu Han and I are friends, and her matters are my matters," Lin Ruoxuan stated unhesitatingly. "Besides, that comment of yours is really hurtful. Your daughter and your granddaughter are not mine."
Song’s mother glared at her beautiful delicate face, suddenly feeling annoyed.
"I’m warning you, we don’t have a daughter-in-law like you in our Song Family. If you know what’s good for you, leave our home immediately!"
As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Song Yuhan, "You agree, right?"
Song Yuhan frowned, "Mom, what are you talking about? Chen the driver and I just have a normal boss and driver relationship; there’s absolutely no romantic involvement."
"Heh... Really?" Song’s mother scoffed. "When you tried to avoid Gu Yanting in the past, you went as far as to pretend to be pregnant—did you think we didn’t notice?"
"That was Gu Yanting deceiving us; I was just deceived by him!"
"Oh, deceived?" Song’s mother looked at her mockingly. "Do you truly believe that the child in your womb is Yanting’s?"
"..." Song Yuhan’s heart skipped a beat, a wave of guilt washing over her.
Could it be that Gu Yanting had betrayed her?
Her gaze quickly fell on Lin Ruoxuan. Could it have been Lin Ruoxuan who told Gu Yanting?
She didn’t know how she had found out.
"Not talking anymore?" Song’s mother sneered at her. "I see you’re admitting it then. Otherwise, why would you deceitfully hide it from us? Song Yuhan, you really are shameless to deceive us in such a way!"
"I didn’t..." Song Yuhan hurriedly defended herself. "Mom, you’ve misunderstood; Yanting and I just have a pure relationship, and the child isn’t his. He doesn’t even know about this—it was my decision!"
"You..." Song’s mother immediately scolded her. "Song Yuhan, are you lying or telling the truth? You pretended to be pregnant before just to marry into a rich family, didn’t you? Now that you’ve achieved your goal, you still want to argue?"
Song Yuhan was at a loss for words.
The reason she had done it was indeed because of her own greed.
She couldn’t stand just being a driver’s wife.
But she hadn’t expected her jealousy to make her so horrible!
"I really didn’t deceive you."
Song Yuhan bit her lip, a hint of grievance appearing in her eyes.
She and Gu Yanting were truly just friends. If it hadn’t been for that one drunken incident, how could she have had the chance to carry his child?
But he had told Song’s mother about this!
Upon hearing this, Song’s mother scoffed.
"Do you think I would believe your lies?"
"I said I didn’t lie."
"Because you say you didn’t, should that be enough? Don’t forget, you and Yanting aren’t even divorced yet! We in the Song Family don’t welcome you, get out of here right now!"
Song’s mother shouted at Song Yuhan, her anger flaring.
Lately, Song Yuhan had always hidden in her room, not going out, and Song’s mother had thought she was just shy, too embarrassed to see the Song family.
But not going out didn’t mean she couldn’t meet other people outside.
Song Yuhan stared in disbelief, word by word she said, "I’ve already broken up with him, there’s no need to use this excuse to stop our communication."
"Broken up?" Song’s mother’s eyes flickered for a few seconds. "Yuhan, you haven’t been married to Yanting for long, how could you break up?"
The corners of Song Yuhan’s mouth curled into a sarcastic smirk as she said indifferently, "You should ask your beloved son! His goal all along was just to get revenge on the Gu Corporation. Now that he’s succeeded, he can’t wait to dump me."
Lin Ruoxuan listened, baffled, and couldn’t help but ask, "Yuhan, what are you talking about?"
Song Yuhan’s gaze shifted from Lin Ruoxuan to Song’s mother.
Seeing her looking at herself, Song’s mother’s eyelids twitched.
"You... why are you looking at me like that? Could it be... that you’re really that sort of frivolous woman?"
Song Yuhan’s mouth twitched a few times.
