The real heiress is wild and seductive, making all the male leads fall for her.

Chapter 9 Xiaorou, be strong!

"Song Nanxi!" Madam Zheng couldn't take it anymore and complained to Old Master Song, "Old Master, I know you favor Song Nanxi, but you can't just cover up the mistakes of the younger generation! Look what she did to my A Zhe!"

"Aunt Zheng, you've misunderstood me," Song Nanxi said innocently.

"What? Didn't you slap A-Zhe's face?" Madam Zheng sneered. She had seen the video and wished she could strangle Song Nanxi!

How dare Song Nanxi humiliate her son like this!

Song Nanxi nodded, her voice strong despite her lack of conviction, "I didn't say I didn't hit him, but isn't it normal for young couples to have some friction? Aunt Zheng came to our door over such a small matter, isn't that a bit petty? Zheng Yuzhe is over twenty years old, and he went home to tell his parents after being hit. People who don't know any better would think Zheng Yuzhe is a mama's boy."

What nonsense is Song Nanxi spouting?

"You call this friction?!" Madam Zheng was so angry she trembled.

Song Nanxi was afraid that she might have Parkinson's disease, so she turned to Butler Bai and said, "Old Bai, why don't we call 120 first? I'm afraid she'll get so angry that she'll start blaming our family."

Butler Bai had the same idea and praised, "Miss Nanxi is truly prescient."

Hearing their conversation, Zheng Yuzhe clenched his fists. "Song Nanxi! You've gone too far! When have I ever had any disagreement with you? You go crazy and start hitting me at the slightest provocation, and now you're even being disrespectful to my mother. Today, I'm going to call off our engagement!"

"Is this what you call being disrespectful? Zheng Yuzhe, is your mother the Empress Dowager? If I marry into your family, will I have to kneel and pay my respects to her morning and night and serve her?" Song Nanxi asked Grandpa Song with a shocked face, "Grandpa, you never told me before that the person you found for me is a member of the royal family!"

Old Master Song's face darkened slightly. "Young Zheng, Nanxi is my most cherished granddaughter. I will not allow anyone to bully her!" He looked at Madam Zheng and saw that she was not surprised at all by Zheng Yuzhe's words, so he knew that the mother and son were in cahoots. He sneered, "The engagement was arranged by Old Man Zheng and me together. Young Zheng did not object at the time! Now that you want to annul the engagement, if you don't come up with a decent reason, I will definitely not let it go!"

The old man, who had been on the battlefield, had truly seen blood. Under his sharp, eagle-like gaze, cold sweat broke out on Zheng Yuzhe's forehead.

"Grandpa Song, I..."

Madam Zheng immediately stepped forward, "Old Master, what you're saying is unreasonable! Look at my son Zhe's face, isn't that reason enough?! You and my father-in-law have been friends for decades, and Zhe is his most beloved grandson. He's been beaten like this, and Song Nanxi hasn't offered a single apology yet?"

"I'm sorry," Song Nanxi said without hesitation.

It's just an apology, simple.

Madam Zheng choked, and her face darkened even more.

That brat from the countryside, she's shameless!

Old Master Song glared at Song Nanxi with amusement, "You child..." He said to Madam Zheng, "Look, Nanxi has apologized too."

Madam Zheng gritted her teeth. If she were to let the matter rest, not only would she be unwilling, but the engagement would also be impossible to cancel.

What a waste of time coming today!

"Anyone can apologize, sir. The two children are clearly not a good match, so why force them to be together?"

Old Master Song narrowed his eyes: "So, you two are determined to annul the engagement today?"

“It’s not that we have to call off the engagement,” Madam Zheng said with a smile, her eyes darting around. “Sir, our two families have been friends for so many years. Actually, my father-in-law originally arranged the marriage in Nanxi to strengthen family ties. Unfortunately, the two children are really not suitable. Rather than letting them marry and become a miserable couple, it would be better to…”

"Tsk tsk tsk, I knew it! So that's what they were waiting for! Grandpa, did you understand?" Song Nanxi asked Grandpa Song.

Old Master Song frowned and looked at the Zheng family mother and son.

Being interrupted displeased Madam Zheng. "Nanxi, adults are speaking, children shouldn't interrupt! This is a matter of manners!"

"Aunt Zheng, your words really hurt me. Everyone knows I was orphaned at a young age, born of a mother but raised without one. I admit I have many shortcomings, but my heart is good, and I have never intended to hurt anyone! Isn't that enough?" Song Nanxi sighed dramatically. "Grandpa, I'm so emotional!"

Although he knew his granddaughter was easygoing, hearing her say that still made Grandpa Song feel incredibly sorry for her.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Yuzhe's heart skipped a beat, and he was furious. "Song Nanxi! Stop pretending, Grandpa Song, don't be fooled by Song Nanxi! She wasn't like this when she hit someone last night!"

Song Nanxi lowered her hand, and there wasn't a single tear on her face.

I cried, but I was faking it. (jpg)

She gave a half-smile, "Then tell me, why did I hit you?"

Zheng Yuzhe snapped, "How should I know why you suddenly went crazy!"

Seeing that he didn't think he had any problem, Song Nanxi didn't mind being a little kind, "Since you're so curious, I'll tell you. It's because you're fickle and easily distracted! Men need to be disciplined to grow up properly. I think I've already spared you because of the friendship between my grandfather and Grandpa Zheng."

And you think getting a beating is the end of it? Once you're married to me, I'll have an obligation to push you to become a decent person. A light beating every two days and a big beating every five days is inevitable. You'd better get used to it this time.”

"Well said! Anyone who dares to betray you, beat them! Beat them to death!"

Grandpa Song admired his granddaughter's awareness. Although he had only one wife in his life, there were many philandering men in the circle, and he did not want his granddaughter to suffer.

"You, you, you, you—" Madam Zheng pointed at Song Nanxi, then looked at Old Master Song, "Isn't this bullying?!"

Grandpa Song frowned. "Nanxi also said that she hit a fickle man. What? Is Xiao Zheng that kind of person? If not, why are you all so nervous?"

This is utterly sophistry!

Madam Zheng was so angry that she felt dizzy.

Zheng Yuzhe still wanted to marry Song Yirou, and not wanting Grandpa Song to misunderstand him, he quickly said, "Grandpa Song, you really misunderstood me. I have never been unfaithful—"

"Sir, Miss Yirou's condition is very bad. Should we take her to the hospital?"

Just then, a servant appeared and interrupted Zheng Yuzhe.

"What's wrong? What happened to Xiaorou? Where is she?" Zheng Yuzhe lost all reason as soon as he heard that Song Yirou was in bad shape.

"Uh, it's in... in the ancestral hall..."

Before the maid could finish speaking, Zheng Yuzhe had already rushed out like a gust of wind.

Seeing his expression, there was still something that Grandpa Song didn't understand.

He looked at Madam Zheng with a gloomy expression.

Madam Zheng felt inexplicably guilty, mainly because her son had just sworn that he had never been unfaithful, and now…

"Grandpa, Zhe and Xiaorou grew up together, he's worried..."

"Stop talking, I understand!" Song Nanxi interrupted her directly. "Zheng Yuzhe and Song Yirou grew up together, childhood sweethearts, they are good brothers and good buddies! What am I, who came later? In his heart, I am probably not even worth a finger of Song Yirou."

Grandpa, my heart aches so much! It hurts so much, I feel like I'm dying!

I don't want to live anymore!

After saying that, Song Nanxi covered her face and rushed out, accidentally bumping into Madam Zheng, causing her to fall to the ground.

Madam Zheng was stunned.

Song Nanxi was so arrogant just now, was it all because he cared too much about his son and was just pretending?

Grandpa Song was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood what his granddaughter meant.

Slamming his cane angrily, he shouted, "Fine, fine, fine! Your Zheng family is going too far! If young Zheng likes Yi Rou, why did you agree to the engagement?! Get the car ready! I'm going to find old man Zheng and demand an explanation!"

Madam Zheng: "...No, Mr. Song, this isn't right! This isn't right!"

Shouldn't it be the Zheng family who are demanding an explanation?

ancestral hall.

Before Song Yirou could react, she was hugged tightly from behind.

She was scooped up and carried outside. When Song Yirou looked up, she was met with a pig's face, and her vision went black. "Who...who are you!"

Zheng Yuzhe paused for a moment, then said, hurt, "Xiaorou, it's me, Azhe!"

Song Yirou realized what was going on as soon as she finished speaking, but she didn't understand: "How come you're in the Song family?"

"Of course he's here to break off our engagement and then propose to you." Song Nanxi had come specifically to watch the spectacle. She enjoyed watching Song Yirou's incredulous and ugly expression, and said leisurely, "Don't worry, now the Zheng family and the Song family both know that your relationship is quite close. I suppose your engagement day isn't far off. Song Yirou, I congratulate you in advance! May you and Zheng Yuzhe become a couple in the end!"

Oh shit!

Zheng Yuzhe's swollen face lingered in her mind's eye, making Song Yirou feel utterly disgusted: "Song Nanxi! What nonsense are you spouting? Zheng Yuzhe is your fiancé, don't get involved with me!"

She always treated Zheng Yuzhe as a backup option—no, he didn't even deserve to be a backup option!

At most, he's just a tool for boosting favorability.

She was so disgusted that she couldn't even maintain a semblance of politeness.

"I know you're anxious, but don't worry, I'll help you." Song Nanxi lied through her teeth. "Zheng Yuzhe, don't listen to Song Yirou's nonsense about being just brothers with you. There's no such thing as pure friendship between men and women in this world, okay? Anyone who talks about brotherhood is either secretly in love with you or a green tea b*tch using you as a backup."

Of course, Song Yirou is so clear-headed and independent, she's definitely not a green tea b*tch.

So what's the last possibility? I don't need to spell it out, do I?

As Song Nanxi spoke, Zheng Yuzhe's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and he gazed at Song Yirou with deep affection.

"Xiaorou, is this true?"

Song Yirou was on the verge of a breakdown. "Song Nanxi! What's wrong with you?!" She gagged twice and struggled frantically to escape from Zheng Yuzhe's arms. "Let me go! Put me down!"

Song Nanxi clicked her tongue in amazement: "Look, she's still shy!"

As she struggled, Song Yirou's face grew increasingly red.

Zheng Yuzhe's heart was filled with emotion. He never expected... he really never expected that Xiao Rou had a crush on him!

"Xiao Rou, don't move around, take care of your health. I'll take you to the hospital right now! Don't worry, I will never let you down, I will be good to you!" He hugged Song Yi Rou tightly, like a hero, and strode out.

Forced away, Song Yirou stepped over Zheng Yuzhe's shoulder, her bloodshot eyes glaring resentfully at Song Nanxi.

Song, Nan, Xi, you just wait!

Song Nanxi smiled and gave a thumbs-up with her fist.

Xiaorou, be strong!
