Chapter 5  : Frustrated for the First Time

Song Jiaren was also caught off guard. She didn’t expect this to happen.

But when she saw Song Chuyan lying on the ground with a furious look on his face, she felt that he looked much better than when he had a poker face.

She smiled apologetically and pressed her heavy body against his. She tried her best to stand up, but she had already used up all her strength from the run just now. Just as she lifted her body a little, she fell back down again.

Song Chuyan groaned.

Unable to take it any longer, he lifted her up with a sulky expression and pushed her to the side. Song Jiaren immediately rolled over on the ground.

“I knew you were up to no good,” Song Chuyan said angrily.

Song Jiaren muttered defiantly, “You didn’t help me up even when you saw me fall. What sort of brother are you?”

Song Chuyan’s expression turned even sulkier. He glared at her with an expression that she couldn’t read. In the end, he said nothing and left with a cold snort.

Song Jiaren cursed under her breath and walked back home with a heavy heart. This body was even more burdensome than she had imagined. She didn’t even have the stamina for light exercise. It seemed like she had to find another way to lose weight.

After she returned home, Song Chuyan saw her walking towards the dining table. He swallowed the bread in his hand quickly and left.

Song Jiaren didn’t have the energy to sulk over him anymore. Her stomach was growling and she started eating her breakfast.

Song Youyou felt smug when she saw this scene, but she still feigned concern and said, “Sis, don’t blame him. He’s just a little aloof. When he sent me milk yesterday, he also left right afterwards.”

It sounded like she was consoling her, but she was actually showing off.

Song Jiaren swallowed the bread in her mouth and said, “It’s already very nice of him to send you milk every day.”

Upon hearing this, Song Youyou looked pleased.

Song Meiyu frowned as she watched the scene from the side. Song Youyou had said things like this a lot before, and she didn’t think much of it. But today, she felt a little uncomfortable about it and glanced at Song Youyou discreetly.

When Song Jiaren saw this, she ate the bread in her hands in a cheerful mood. What she needed to do was gradually expose Song Youyou’s true colors to her family.

It wasn’t that Song Youyou was good at concealing her true colors, but because Song Meiyu had never thought of her as a bad person. As long as there was a seed of doubt in her heart, she would eventually see her true colors.

Song Youyou asked again, “Could it be that he hasn’t sent milk to you before?” she asked with feigned astonishment.

Song Meiyu suddenly said, “Enough, Youyou. Aren’t you going out?”

Song Youyou froze. Seeing Song Meiyu’s expression, she realized that she had gone overboard and didn’t dare to say anything else.

However, she was filled with resentment inside. Why?

She had always kissed up to them and tried to bring honor to the Song family. She was better than the disgraceful Song Jiaren in every aspect.

Wang Yaotian, who had been silent, suddenly said, “Meiyu, Youyou just wanted to give her some advice. Why are you so worked up?”

Song Youyou lowered her head with tears welling up in her eyes, as if she had been wronged.

Song Meiyu also felt that she was overthinking things. She was a reasonable person, and since she had done something wrong, she had to apologize. “Youyou, I was too harsh on you just now. Aren’t you going to hang out with your friends today? Take this card to spend.”

Song Youyou took the card, but still felt disgruntled. Why did Song Jiaren get to have a card with no spending limits, while she could only use a card with a limit of a few tens of thousand? She said in an aggrieved tone, “You keep giving me cards, so I don’t even know which one I should use.”

Wang Yaotian chimed in, “Why don’t you give Youyou the same kind of card you give Jiaren?”

Song Youyou said hurriedly, “That’s not what I meant.”

Wang Yaotian said with pride, “Of course I know that you aren’t that kind of child. This is something we want to reward you.”

Song Youyou stopped talking and both of them looked at Song Meiyu.

Song Meiyu felt a little troubled. For the first time, she felt that Song Youyou was acting a little petty.

She was also a little dissatisfied with Wang Yaotian. When they adopted Song Youyou, they had agreed that the Song family would be inherited by Jiaren. That card gave her access to all of the Song family’s funds. How could she give one to Song Youyou?

“Alright, you can ask me for more after you’ve used this card up. I’ve never been stingy towards you during all these years.”

With that, she ignored the awkward-looking father and daughter and turned to look at Song Jiaren.

Song Meiyu smiled affectionately as she said, “In the future, I will send milk to my precious daughter.”

After being snubbed, Wang Yaotian left with Song Youyou.

Only Song Jiaren and Song Meiyu were left at home.

Song Jiaren asked tentatively, “I feel like Song Youyou is a little hostile towards me.”

Song Meiyu replied, “How could that be? That child has always been kind. She might have crossed the line today, but she’s a kind child at heart.”

Song Jiaren didn’t say anything else.. She was just trying to get a picture of how important Song Youyou was to her.
