Chapter 22: It’s a Fake

What made Lou Junchen even angrier was that not only did he not expose Song Wei true colors last night, but he even embraced her and slept the whole night. The cold aura emanating from his body scared Lin Yi so much that he did not dare to speak from the beginning to the end.

Among these people, Song Xiaoyu was probably the only one who was happy. His parents were finally together like the other children’s parents. He happily dragged Qin Xiao, who was being scolded so badly, to the back of the mountain to play.

The courtyard suddenly became quiet. Song Wei sat on the rocking chair and occasionally waved the cattail leaf fan in her hand. She could not figure out how she went from the bed into Lou Junchen’s arms. She had always been a light sleeper, so she would wake up if there was even the slightest movement, but she slept very soundly last night..

‘Tsk!’ Thinking about what Lin Yi had said this morning, Song Wei felt that her reputation had been ruined last night.

At this moment, the sound of a car horn came from outside the courtyard again. Song Wei looked up and saw Zhao Wanyu alighting from the car. She let out a light chuckle. Her small courtyard had been quite lively recently.

Zhao Wanyu had given Song Ning a lesson before she came, asking her to put her attitude in order. The comments on the Internet were all over the place at this time. If this continued, Song Ning’s acting career would be ruined. Not only that, but the good reputation that she had worked so hard to build up in the upper-class society would also be exhausted, and she would be criticized by others.

Although Zhao Wanyu felt that her choice back then was not wrong, to outsiders, she had abandoned her child, Song Wei.

Song Ning had a kind smile on her face. “Younger Sister, we came here specially to invite you to visit Yanjing for a few days. Mom and I will respect your opinion and not force you to stay in Yanjing, but you can come with us to take a look and join our family. If you want to go home in the future, you can come back anytime.”

“Okay, then I’ll go and have a look.”

Song Ning and Zhao Wanyu looked at each other. They did not expect Song Wei to agree so readily. They exchanged a look. They understood each other and confirmed that Song Wei was indeed playing hard to get, wanting to get more benefits from them.

Once they brought Song Wei to Yanjing for a tour, she would soon be dazzled by the colorful world. At that time, they would be able to easily get rid of her by promising some benefits. After all, she had not even graduated from high school. After staying in this godforsaken place, Liaoxi Village, for more than ten years, she surely had a narrow vision.

They did not know that the reason Song Wei agreed so readily was that she felt that what happened last night was a little awkward. She wanted to leave this place temporarily to calm down.

Zhao Wanyu and Song Ning first brought Song Wei to the Shen family. Zhao Wanyu had given birth to a son after marrying Shen Congrong back then. He was 15 years old this year and had just entered his first year of high school. The Shen family’s villa was magnificent. Song Ning sat in the car. No matter how much she pretended to be approachable, she could not hide her sense of superiority deep in her bones.

Zhao Wanyu reminded Song Wei worriedly, “Lil’ Wei, this is your first time in Yanjing. Don’t talk too much later, otherwise, the Shen family will think that we don’t know any rules.”

Song Wei. “…”

She did not want to have too much interaction with the Shen family.

After entering the villa, Song Wei looked around. The Shen family was indeed quite rich, but they did not have a good aesthetic sense. The decoration style was too gorgeous, and at first glance, it did not look like a place for people to live in. Instead, it looked like some European palace for people to visit.

Everything in the house was valuable. The Italian leather couch, the sparkling crystal lamp, the Persian carpet, and even an ordinary painting hanging on the wall were all worth millions.

Given the interior… It was as if they were afraid that others would think that they were poor.

“Take your eyes off those things and don’t look around. You’ll make others think that you’re ignorant.” Song Ning could not stand the way Song Wei looked like a country bumpkin, so she lectured her.

If it was not for her future career, she really did not want to have anything to do with Song Wei. What right did such a person have to be her younger sister? It was embarrassing!

Zhao Wanyu glared at Song Ning. Song Ning had pretended for so long, so why could she not endure a little longer?

“Lil’ Wei, it’s fine. You can look at them if you want to, but the things at home are quite expensive. You can look at them, but don’t touch them as you can’t afford to damage them.”

Song Wei turned around and saw the largest oil painting hanging on the wall of the living room—”The Pillar That Propped up the Sky”.

Noticing her gaze, Song Ning proudly introduced, “Isn’t that painting nice? It was painted by Ge Lie, the internationally famous master. It’s priceless. Uncle Shen bought it with great difficulty.”

Song Wei raised her eyebrow. “It wasn’t easy to buy it? It’s just a fake.. Is there a need to go through so much trouble?”
