Song Ci’s lips curled into a mocking smile. What was that woman thinking? She was the one who chased the original Song Ci and her biological mother out. In addition to being a third party who destroyed others’ families, she was also a heartless scumbag. How could she call herself a parent? It was really ridiculous.

Song Ci deliberately sighed and said, “Lu Gan liking me is the problem.”

“What do you mean?”

Pang Xiaohui was holding back her anger.

“Lu Gan likes me and thinks the two of you are abusing me. That’s why he doesn’t want to meet up. I tried to coax him, but he won’t listen.”

Song Ci pretended to sigh again.

Pang Xiaohui immediately advised, “Your parents are your elders. It’s only natural for us to be strict. Besides, we’re doing this for your own good. Without us, do you think you’ll be able to marry Lu Gan?”

Song Ci lamented, “That’s what I said too, but Lu Gan is a stubborn man. He thinks that you’ve mistreated me.”

“You can settle that yourself.”

Pang Xiaohui continued, “Song Ci, let me remind you again, your father feels really bad. He knows that it’s not easy for you to replace Peihan as Lu Gan’s bride. If he’s willing to let you return home, you should cherish the opportunity…”

Song Ci sneered and looked at Lu Gan. Then, she placed her phone beside him and turned on the speaker. She shouted, “Lu Gan, what are you doing?! Why are you snatching away my phone?”

Lu Gan looked at Song Ci with a confused expression. The latter made a reassuring gesture. Using a pen, she began writing something on a piece of paper.

Pang Xiaohui asked in a puzzled tone, “Song Ci?”

Lu Gan looked at what Song Ci wrote and cooperated.

“It’s me, Lu Gan.”

When Pang Xiaohui heard Lu Gan’s voice, she immediately put on a fake, happy tone.

“Oh! I’m your mother-in-law!”

“I’m not that familiar with you. My actual mother-in-law is already dead!”

Lu Gan followed the note and continued coldly, “Don’t you have a mirror at home? Why are you so thick-skinned?”

Pang Xiaohui was angered by Lu Gan’s words. Her hands trembled, but she dared not lose her temper with him. She could only smile and say, “Is Song Ci by your side? Pass her the phone.”

Before Lu Gan could say anything, Song Ci opened her mouth.

“Give it to me quickly. Don’t just snatch my phone.”

Then, she continued, “Aunty, I’m really sorry. This is how Lu Gan usually behaves. His words are not pleasant to hear, but he’s rich. You won’t argue with him, right?”

Of course, Pang Xiaohui would not hold it against Lu Gan. However, it was a different story when it came to Song Ci.

“Do you think I care? If you hadn’t begged the Song family like a dog and wanted to return, your father wouldn’t even bat an eye. Don’t be so shameless. You deserved to be chased out. You’re as annoying as that d*mn mother of yours!”

Lu Gan’s face instantly turned bitter.

Song Ci pretended to be aggrieved and said, “What can I do? Lu Gan won’t let me go back. He has such a bad temper, so I dared not talk back to him.”

As she said that, she wrote something again. Once she was done, she shouted, “Lu Gan, you snatched away my phone again! Hurry up and return it to me.”

Lu Gan, who had not done anything all this while, was quite befuddled. Still, he managed to keep up with the act. After reading the contents of the note, he said, “How could you say such things? As a third party who destroyed others’ families, aren’t you embarrassed? Song Ci’s mother died because of you. You also chased her out and brought your illegitimate daughter into the Song family. Do you think you can be the official Mrs. Song? You’re such a b*tch. In fact, you’re not even qualified to be called a human being!”

“You…!”

Pang Xiaohui was so mad that she could not speak.

“You still have the guts to scold Song Ci? Don’t call her again in the future. Otherwise, I’ll kill you!”

After saying that, Lu Gan hung up the phone as instructed by Song Ci.

Pang Xiaohui was extremely furious. She cried and complained to Song He.

“Song Ci… That b*tch… Bullied me…”

Meanwhile, Song Ci praised Lu Gan, “Excellent. You delivered your lines very well!”

“Why didn’t you tell her those words yourself?”

Lu Gan asked.

“Obviously, I was just pretending. How else would I proceed to the next step? Things would have been fine if they left me alone but as you can see, that’s not the case. I have to be calculative about some matters.”

The original Song Ci was Song He’s biological daughter. He was also Kong Chuyun’s first husband. Their marriage was not arranged and Kong Chuyun was the one who chose Song He.

Kong Chuyun liked Song He so much that she gave him all her assets. This was how he became rich. Although his wealth could not be compared to the Lu family, it was still much more than average.
