“Don’t blame the darkness of the world for the simplicity of your life. Life has always been like sailing against the tide. If you don’t advance, you will retreat. Whose life is perfect? Go online and search my name, Ning Qing. I debuted at the age of 18 and have fought countless battles, small and large. I had fought against my stepmother, tore my sibling apart, kicked away a f*ckboy, and tortured a b*tch. Just how many calamities have you brought upon me since you returned home? It’s not that I haven’t been sad, but life is like this. If I had even slacked off a little, I wouldn’t have been able to get to where I am today.”

Song Yingjie listened and murmured, “You must not like my auntie very much.”

Ning Qing sneered, “Of course not. Do you think I’m m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.tic. It’s not my hobby to stick my hot face to a cold b.u.t.tock, alright?”

Old butler: “…”

Song Yingjie rose from her shoulder. If she had said she liked his auntie, he would think she was hypocritical, but she told the truth.

Ning Qing grabbed some tissues and gave them to him to wipe his tears. “But Yingjie, I’m your sister-in-law. Your auntie is my mother-in-law; we are a family. We can’t get everyone’s favor in this world, but if we try, and If we work hard, it’s alright as long as we have a clear conscience.”

Song Yingjie turned to look out of the window. He understood what she meant. She was talking about his father.

“Song Yingjie, I hope this is the last time you cry. Men shed blood and sweat but not tears. Grow up. If you continue to rebel so simply and foolishly, it will be your relatives who will suffer and your enemies who will benefit. Everything in the Zhu family is yours, and your mother left it for you. Even if you fight for love, you must only win and not lose.

“Your uncles and aunties will grow old. When you were young, they were the ones protecting you. When you get older, you should protect them. I still say that it is your responsibility to make your relatives happy.

“The world is too dark and cruel. Don’t treat this darkness and cruelty mercifully. For us to survive, we can only survive by being the strongest, eliminating the weak ones, and subduing violence using violence. A strong life never needs to be explained. Real and long-term happiness needs planning. Don’t dream of getting anything for free in this world, because it will only be a trap. If you are not tough in your present position, you will die miserably in the future.”

Song Yingjie looked at the girl’s bright autumn pupils. The car was pa.s.sing the downtown square, and the bright lights s.h.i.+ned brightly on the girl.

“I understand.” He nodded.

…

The limousine stopped in front of the Lu family Villa and the old housekeeper and Song Yingjie entered.

Song Yajing was still awake. She sat in the living room and looked at the doc.u.ments. When they came back, she looked up and went to Song Yingjie. “Yingjie, you’re back. I heard that you had dinner with the Ning family. Did you have enough? What would you like to eat? Auntie will ask the servant to make it for you?”

“No need.” Song Yingjie looked up at Song Yajing. “Auntie, I’m going upstairs.”

He went upstairs.

Song Yajing saw the wound on Song Yingjie’s face. Her face changed. She said, “Yingjie, what’s wrong with your face? Who bullied you? Tell Auntie, I will send someone…”

“Auntie, I’m all right. I’m going to bed.” Song Yingjie went back to his room and closed the door.

Song Yajing immediately turned her head and looked at Uncle f.o.o.k. Her face was stern and she asked in a low voice, “Uncle f.o.o.k, what happened today? You have been with the Lu family for 40 years. This was the first time that you had gone against my wishes when I asked you to fetch Yingjie back. What benefits did Ning Qing give you?”

Uncle f.o.o.k bowed respectfully. “Madam, Young Madam has not given me anything, but I think Young Master Yingjie will be happier with Young Madam.”

“What?”

“Madam, today the young master got in a fight at school and was sent to the police station. Young Madam picked him up and came back. The others had called Young Master Yingjie a little jinx…”

“Who?” This term was a taboo to Song Yajing, so she clenched her fists tightly as cold shards of light flashed from her eyes. “I want that person to disappear.”

“Madam, Young Madam has already dealt with them. They were at the police station at that time. Young Madam had said…”

Uncle f.o.o.k retold Ning Qing’s words to Song Yajing quietly.

Song Yajing’s pupils shrank, and her face was obscured. She put one hand on the sofa and sat down slowly. “She…really said that?”

“Yes.” Uncle f.o.o.k nodded. “After dinner at the Ning family home, she went back to the car and said something to Young Master Yingjie. Here’s what she said at the time…”

Faber repeated it all.

This time Song Yajing went silent after listening. Not a sound could be heard in the quiet villa hall. After a long time, Song Yajing quietly laughed. She turned to Uncle f.o.o.k, “Uncle f.o.o.k, have you really regarded Ning Qing as the young madam from the bottom of your heart? Look, this is Ning Qing’s strong point. She said these words to Yingjie because she wanted you to hear them; she wanted to use Yingjie to win favor and win people’s hearts.”

Uncle f.o.o.k was not humble or arrogant as he said, “Madam, how can I not see these thoughts of Young Madam? But that’s why I think she’s a good Young Madam. Even you couldn’t handle Young Master Yingjie all these years, but Young Madam could. She has not only handled and taught him, but she has also won your favor. Madam also thinks that Young Madam is brave and resourceful, not lacking wise and ingenious means Only someone like her can hold the high position of the master mother of the Lu family.

“Madam, I have been with the Lu family for 40 years. n.o.body wishes the best for the Lu family more than I do. Madam also wants the Lu family to be well. Since we all think so, why is Madam so stubborn?”

…

Song Yajing opened the door and entered Song Yingjie’s room.

There was no light in the room. Song Yingjie was lying on the side of the bed, sleeping with his eyes closed.

Song Yajing sat quietly beside the bed. She began to cover Song Yingjie with the blanket. Then she sighed and said, “Yingjie, you have not fallen asleep yet, right? Auntie wants to talk to you.”

In the darkness, Song Yingjie opened his eyes. He did not move, nor did he speak.
