Chapter 120 Don't Be So Aggressive
“Miss Lin, you misunderstand. The past is the past, but now that there is a lady in the family, we have to distinguish between the primary and secondary roles.”
Wang Ma's words instantly choked Lin Qingyue's heart.
So now she's a guest, or maybe not even a guest at all, just an insignificant outsider.
A sinister glint flashed in Lin Qingyue's eyes, but she quickly concealed it and smiled again.
She thought no one had seen her, but Song Qianyi, who had just looked up to pick up some food, saw the emotions in Lin Qingyue's eyes clearly.
His brow furrowed slightly, and he fell into deep thought.
"Is the food prepared by the kitchen not good? It is indeed their fault, after all, they did not prepare the food that the guests like in advance. Next time Miss Lin comes, let me know in advance so that I can ask the kitchen to prepare it."
You've been shamelessly staying here for so long, and we can't get rid of you. You still have the nerve to say that the kitchen didn't prepare your favorite food for you.
Everyone present understood the implication of her words, but Old Master Song simply smiled and remained silent.
Meanwhile, Ji Jingshen, who was standing next to Song Qianyi, was diligently serving her food without any reaction.
Lin Qingyue suddenly felt isolated and helpless, glaring at Song Qianyi through gritted teeth.
"If Miss Lin doesn't like the food, I can have the kitchen prepare another meal now, but it will be delayed, since the chef can't serve the food immediately."
Wang Ma looked at her with a complicated expression, as if she would go to the kitchen to inform Lin Qingyue as soon as she nodded.
Lin Qingyue was suddenly placed on a high place, and the atmosphere became extremely awkward.
"I was just expressing some sentiments, but I didn't expect Miss Song to have such a quick temper. It was my fault."
Song Qianyi chuckled.
"There's no other way. After all, I'm managing such a big company. If I don't act quickly, I won't be able to grab a share of the pie. No one will wait for you forever, whether it's work or life."
Lin Qingyue's eyes instantly reddened, and her voice choked with emotion.
"Is Miss Song implying something to me? I don't understand what I did to upset you. I even went to apologize in person last night, so why are you still being so aggressive?"
Faced with her tearful words, Song Qianyi was speechless.
"It seems that Miss Lin is the truly sensitive one. She can take even a casual remark from someone else to heart. If Miss Lin doesn't like this meal, she can go home to eat. There's no need for her to make herself suffer here."
This affected manner is truly disgusting.
Lin Qingyue's movements froze for a moment as she wiped away her tears, but she quickly returned to normal.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa Song, I'm being too delicate. I just came back from abroad and there are still many things I haven't figured out yet."
As she spoke, she glanced at the man opposite her, her eyes filled with grievance and expectation.
She hoped that Ji Jingshen would speak up for her.
But the other person only glanced at her briefly before looking away.
"It's alright if Miss Lin doesn't know, as long as she doesn't break up other people's families. After all, society is very complicated nowadays, and many wealthy people keep mistresses abroad. Miss Lin has been abroad for so long, you must take the time to thoroughly investigate your friends and avoid associating with shady people, as it will only harm you in the end."
Lin Qingyue pursed her lips and didn't speak, but her hands on her lap clenched tightly.
That old geezer actually dared to speak ill of her!
She was the one who should have been with Jing Shen, but she went abroad to study and improve herself for a few years, thinking that she could stand shoulder to shoulder with Jing Shen when she came back.
But unexpectedly, Song Qianyi appeared halfway through and stole everything that originally belonged to her!
"Thank you for the reminder, Grandpa Song. I will be careful. However, I don't have many friends outside. My best friend is Jing Shen. I just didn't expect him to get married so suddenly without any news."
Upon hearing her words, Song Qianyi looked up and gave her a cold look, her aura fully unleashed, making Lin Qingyue instantly find it difficult to breathe.
She looked at Ji Jingshen with a pale face and tears streaming down her face, making one want to hold her in their arms.
“Miss Lin, you often eat while crying. This is not a good habit. You should correct it as soon as possible. Or is it an illness? If so, I will help you contact a doctor. Our Song family hospital can set up a special medical team for you.”
She can't even sit still while eating; she's almost lost her appetite.
Lin Qingyue lowered her head and didn't say anything more, but her shoulders were shaking, clearly she was crying.
"Qianyi, there's no need to be so aggressive. Let's eat first."
Ji Jingshen, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke, and the atmosphere at the dinner table instantly became tense.
Lin Qingyue suddenly looked up at him, her eyes shining with an astonishing light.
Seeing this, Old Master Song glared at Ji Jingshen with exasperation. This blockhead has turned his emotional intelligence into IQ; he knows nothing but work.
Is that what you said?
He opened his mouth, but in the end he closed it and lowered his head to eat.
What else could he say after all this?
Children and grandchildren have their own destinies; let them do what they want. As long as they don't hurt his precious granddaughter, it doesn't matter what they do.
"It's alright, Jing Shen. I was indeed too harsh. I will definitely be more careful in the future and try not to upset Miss Song."
Song Qianyi glanced coldly at the man beside her, then lowered her head to eat without saying anything more.
The main reason was that she was already starving; if Lin Qingyue hadn't been so annoying with her chatter, she wouldn't have spoken.
She just didn't expect that Ji Jingshen would actually side with Lin Qingyue.
She curled her lips in a mocking smile. "That's right. She already has many female confidantes outside, and this one is her childhood sweetheart."
Seeing Song Qianyi lower her head and stop talking, as if she had been hit hard, Lin Qingyue smiled triumphantly.
She knew that Jing Shen had no feelings for this woman; it was just a family marriage. She knew that Jing Shen still had feelings for her.
After figuring it out, Lin Qingyue's smile widened, and she kept putting food on Ji Jingshen's plate.
“I remember Jing Shen really liked eating this lettuce when he was a child.”
Ji Jingshen didn't respond to Lin Qingyue's enthusiasm, but he didn't touch the food she had picked up.
Lin Qingyue, who was in the middle of her own thoughts, did not notice this and instead found Song Qianyi even more of an eyesore.
Throughout the meal, apart from Lin Qingyue who kept talking, no one else at the table uttered a single word.
"Sorry, I got too excited just now and talked a lot about things from my childhood. Jing Shen, how about we find some time to get together properly and invite some old friends?"
The man who was pouring water for Song Qianyi didn't even look up, showing no reaction whatsoever to her invitation.
"Didn't you hear them asking you out for dinner alone? You should at least give them a response."
Song Qianyi didn't even glance at the water glass on the table; she simply poured herself another one.
