Chapter 447: Chapter 446: Send Her Back
"You... so that’s what you really think."
Old Mrs. Song slowly came over, looking at Song Weili with eyes that no longer held the affection of the past. All she felt at this moment was a chill in her heart. The person she painstakingly raised by hand actually said such things, even blaming her for bringing her to the Song Family, causing her to be separated from her parents.
"If that’s the case, you can go home tomorrow. Don’t come over anymore."
After saying this, Old Mrs. Song left without looking back. But upon closer inspection, one could see her steps were somewhat unsteady. After all, she had genuine feelings for Song Weili, whom she had raised herself, and hearing such words naturally caused her sadness and heartache.
"Grandma..."
Song Weili only reacted to what she had said when she saw Old Mrs. Song come back. However, before she could explain, Old Mrs. Song had already said everything she wanted to say, leaving her no chance to explain. At the sight of Old Mrs. Song leaving, she immediately chased after her.
Yiyi, seeing the situation, continued to move forward.
Over in the front, Ding Yuejun and Song Xiaoqing had naturally seen what happened. When they saw Yiyi coming forward, they couldn’t help but say, "Yiyi, we should hurry to the front."
The banquet was about to start, and it was not the time to discuss other matters.
When Yiyi reached the front, she saw Old Mrs. Song smiling broadly, holding Little Le Kang in her arms and happily talking with others. As for Song Weili, she followed behind Old Mrs. Song carefully, wanting to say something but never finding the opportunity.
"Yiyi, Yue Jun, you can sit over there."
Song Xiaoqing had long arranged seats for Yiyi and her mother, so she directly took them to the main table.
Ding Yuejun felt a bit surprised at this arrangement, given the many relatives in the Song Family, and it typically wouldn’t fall to them to sit at the main table. However, Song Xiaoqing insisted, so she said nothing more.
After sitting down with Yiyi, the mother and daughter began to speak quietly.
Yet, even if they said nothing, others certainly had words to say.
Still, Song Chi had already considered this situation. Before the elders of the Song Family could speak, he directly said, "Yiyi and her mother are major benefactors to our Little Le Kang, so they naturally should sit together with him."
Song Chi always held considerable status, and now, with his own son, his position in the Song Family had further solidified. Therefore, seeing him speak so seriously, even if the elders had more to say, they kept silent.
Old Mrs. Song also chimed in, "Indeed, Yiyi and Yue Jun are major benefactors to us; it’s only fitting they should sit here." Saying so, she cheerfully invited others to sit.
With this, everyone had nothing more to say.
Sitting at another table, Song Weili watched all of this, her face twisted with jealousy.
Beside her sat her biological parents. Previously, Old Mrs. Song had considered that she hadn’t seen her biological parents for a long time, so she arranged for them to sit together. But little did she expect Song Weili to say those things. Still, this arrangement turned out to be quite fitting, for after the meal, she could let her parents take Song Weili home directly.
Song Weili had no idea of Old Mrs. Song’s thoughts; at the moment, she was still pondering how to explain herself to her.
However, when Song Le Kang’s banquet ended, she found no opportunity to speak with Old Mrs. Song again, and was left sitting grimly.
"Weili, has something happened between you and Grandma? Today, I noticed Grandma is not as close to you as usual." Mrs. Song pulled Song Weili aside and quietly asked, fearing that her daughter’s status in the Song Family might have diminished.
Upon hearing this, Song Weili bit her lip but didn’t explain. Seeing this, Father Song couldn’t help but say, "What happened? Is there something you can’t share with us?"
Finally, hearing her father’s words, Song Weili narrated the events, concluding with, "Grandma must be upset, which is why she ignored me earlier."
Heeding her daughter’s words, Father Song’s face turned livid with rage.
"You child, how could you speak without thinking? Moreover, knowing Grandma was just ahead, how could you utter such words?"
Mrs. Song also looked at Song Weili with a face full of reproach, saying, "Weili, you truly shouldn’t have done that. After a while, you should go apologize to Grandma. Grandma has cared for you since you were little, she will surely forgive you. Now, come over with us."
Seeing her biological parents scolding her instead of comforting her made Song Weili feel even worse.
"Dad, Mom, actually, what I said isn’t wrong. Since Uncle and Auntie have their own son, I am even less likely to..."
"Shut up."
Before Song Weili could finish speaking, her father stopped her and then, with a livid face, dragged her to Grandma’s room.
Seeing the few of them arrive, Old Mrs. Song immediately spoke, "You came at just the right moment, there’s something I wanted to discuss."
Father Song seized the chance to interrupt her before she finished speaking, promptly apologizing along with Song Weili, "Grandma, Weili is young and doesn’t understand. Please don’t mind her, she knows she was wrong, and she was just crying to us about upsetting you."
Mrs. Song quickly nodded in agreement, saying, "Indeed, Weili truly knows she’s wrong. Please forgive her this time, Grandma."
Listening to this, Old Mrs. Song frowned at them, then turned her eyes to Song Weili.
Song Weili didn’t feel she had spoken wrongly, considering her increasingly awkward status in the Song Family.
But feeling the pressure from behind, she instinctively moved forward, finally apologizing as her parents had.
Ultimately, considering she was the child raised from a young age by herself, as Old Mrs. Song remembered Weili’s sweet and sensible behavior over the years, her anger dissipated entirely. But before she could speak, Song Chi’s voice came from the doorway.
"Mom, so you are all here. Perfect, I have something to discuss with my cousin."
Song Ci entered afterward, stating his intentions directly.
"Weili is no longer young. You must have missed her a lot while she’s been here. Let’s take this chance for her to go back home with you."
Initially, he was unaware of the situation. It was his wife who found the opportunity to tell him about these events, revealing the cause and effect.
After learning about it, he was quite upset.
Aside from his mother’s nurturing kindness towards Song Weili, just the great favor Yiyi had done for the Song Family alone was enough for him to be unable to accept Song Weili trying to sever the relationship between Yiyi and their family, so this time, he insisted on sending Song Weili back.
