"It's impossible." Zhai Cheng blurted out his refusal, a nameless anger surging up.
If he hadn't come this morning to check on how she was doing, would she have just left without a word? Without even saying goodbye to him?
Song Ge weakly tugged at the corner of her lips and said helplessly, "I don't want to stay here anymore. Can you let me leave?"
What Leng Jing said last night made a lot of sense. So why on earth wouldn't he let her go? Anyway, she was of no use here. It would be better for her to leave earlier.
The more Song Ge thought about it, the angrier she got, and her complexion turned a bit unpleasant.
Zhai Cheng stared at her with a straight face. "I don't care why you want to leave. As long as I'm here, you won't succeed."
"Now, put your things back and come down for breakfast." Zhai Cheng said with a foul face and then walked downstairs.
If he didn't leave right away, he was afraid he would lose control and start scolding.
"Why?" Song Ge angrily let go of the suitcase and shouted at Zhai Cheng's back, "Why won't you let me leave? I'm of no use here at all. Instead, I've been causing you trouble. Can't you just let me go?"
Why was this guy so stubborn? All these recent problems had started because of her. As long as she left, everything would be peaceful.
Zhai Cheng suddenly stopped in his tracks. After a moment of silence, he said calmly, "All these things have nothing to do with you. Put the suitcase down and come down for breakfast."
After saying that, he walked straight to the downstairs dining room without looking back, leaving Song Ge no chance to refuse.
Song Ge was instantly furious. She glared at Zhai Cheng's back and then turned back into her room. Before closing the door, she didn't forget to protest, "I'm not eating!"
Out of anger, she slammed the door shut with all her might, and a loud bang echoed through the villa.
Nanny Chen had heard every word of their conversation in the dining room. Hearing this, her eyelids kept twitching.
She thought Song Ge was just saying it out of anger and nervously waited there for her to come down for breakfast. But ten minutes passed, and there was still no sign of Song Ge.
"Go up and check on her," Zhai Cheng rubbed his temples and said with a headache.
Nanny Chen was extremely worried. After getting permission, she rushed upstairs to the bedroom.
Thankfully, the bedroom door wasn't fully closed. She pushed it open with a little force.
Once inside, she found Song Ge lying on the bed, with her head covered by a pillow. She clearly had no intention of going down for breakfast.
Nanny Chen tried to persuade her earnestly, telling her that Zhai Cheng didn't let her leave for her own good and so on.
But Song Ge just wouldn't listen. She simply ignored Nanny Chen's words.
"Sigh, Miss Song can be angry, but it's not good to neglect your own health because of it," Nanny Chen sighed and left after failing to persuade her.
Seeing that Nanny Chen couldn't persuade Song Ge, Zhai Cheng asked the other servants to take turns going up to persuade her. But no one succeeded.
The servants lined up nervously, waiting for Zhai Cheng's scolding.
"Nanny Chen, ask someone to prepare something and send it up to her," Zhai Cheng said tiredly, rubbing his temples.
Nanny Chen sighed and quickly went to the kitchen to prepare food for Song Ge. The other servants also retreated to do their own things.
Zhai Cheng smiled helplessly. On the surface, he had shown no emotion just now, but only he knew that his eyes always inadvertently fell on the door of a certain room on the second floor.
Her uncle must have been brainwashed by that woman Song Ge, which was why he had always indulged her without limit!
After Leng Jing parted unhappily with Zhai Cheng, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got. So she simply called Ji Qingyun and invited him out for dinner.
The latter sensed her unhappiness from her words and was afraid that something might happen to her if she was alone outside, so he had no choice but to agree to accompany her.
"Stop drinking. You've had quite a bit," Ji Qingyun quickly grabbed Leng Jing's hand as she was about to pour another glass of wine and said with a headache.
Since they had come to the restaurant, Leng Jing had been drinking non - stop. If she continued, she might not even be able to walk properly.
Leng Jing ignored him and took another sip of wine. Her face still looked unhappy.
Seeing that she wouldn't listen to his advice, Ji Qingyun simply gave up and said casually, "Did you quarrel with your uncle at home? Where's Song Ge? Why didn't you invite her out for dinner with you?"
Leng Jing's complexion changed slightly. She just drank on her own without saying a word.
"You could have invited her along today. It would be more convenient for you girls to have a heart - to - heart talk," Ji Qingyun didn't notice the change in her complexion and said another sentence.
"Slap!"
"Can you stop mentioning Song Ge all the time? I'm the one who invited you out for dinner today. Don't you think it's inappropriate for you to keep talking about her?" Leng Jing slapped the wine glass on the table and rudely interrupted him.
She was really fed up. At home, she had to be oppressed by that woman Song Ge, and even when she came out for dinner, she had to keep hearing her name.
The gentle Leng Jing he had seen before had suddenly smashed the wine glass, which made Ji Qingyun a bit stunned.
Leng Jing seemed not to notice and picked up the wine glass to pour herself another glass. "I just don't understand why everyone treats Song Ge like a treasure? I'm clearly a thousand times better than her. Why doesn't anyone see my goodness?"
All the grievances of these days burst out at this moment. Leng Jing lifted the glass aggrievedly and drank it all in one gulp.
"You've had too much. Stop drinking," Ji Qingyun touched his nose, feeling that things might be getting serious.
Leng Jing quickly dodged his attempt to grab the glass and stared straight at Ji Qingyun. "I'm not drunk. I just want to make this clear."
Her little face was full of stubbornness, which made it impossible for Ji Qingyun to interrupt her.
"Then go ahead. I'm listening," Ji Qingyun said with a complicated look on his face.
"Stop thinking about that woman. She's going to be my uncle's woman. There's no future for the two of you," Leng Jing suddenly laughed, a bit gloatingly.
Ji Qingyun's face instantly changed. He reflexively grabbed her wrist and asked urgently, "What do you mean?"
What did it mean to be Zhai Cheng's woman? Weren't they just in a simple superior - subordinate relationship?
For a moment, all kinds of speculations rushed into his mind, and Ji Qingyun couldn't stay calm anymore.
"It doesn't mean anything. They're just going to be together soon. Don't you believe me? If you don't, I can take you to see," Leng Jing stopped drinking and stared blankly at his hand, smiling half - heartedly.
Leng Jing was probably really drunk. After saying this, she stood up unsteadily and pulled Ji Qingyun outside. "I know you won't believe me, but you will after you see it."
