Leng Jing rolled her eyes. Over the years, there had been countless women who wanted to marry her uncle. Each of them was more eloquent than Song Ge. But in the end, weren't they all after the money? Had any of them truly treated her uncle with sincerity?
Actually, it was understandable that people would do anything for money, just as birds would fight for food. However, Leng Jing still stubbornly believed that those who abandoned love for the sake of money were truly pitiful.
Moreover, the Zhai family was no ordinary family. Song Ge's humble background was not even worthy of stepping through the Zhai family's gates.
"It's okay." Song Ge wasn't angry at all. Instead, she smiled. "Time will tell. Leng Jing, maybe you don't understand me yet. I don't blame you. You'll come to understand me one day."
"I never will!" Leng Jing said petulantly. She was just a woman from a small family, yet she had such audacity. It was really laughable.
Zhai Cheng took a deep breath. "Leng Jing, that's enough!"
Leng Jing rolled her eyes again. She couldn't understand why her uncle was scolding her for a stranger, especially a woman she disliked. It was so frustrating. In the past, her uncle had never scolded her. What kind of spell had this woman cast on her uncle to make him so devoted? It seemed she really had some tricks up her sleeve.
"Zhai Cheng, come in."
Mr. Zhai's cold voice came from the study. Zhai Cheng replied and held Song Ge's hand, looking worried. "Father is calling me. I'll go in first. Can you wait outside alone?"
Song Ge nodded and said with a smile, "Go ahead. Don't worry about me. I'm not a child. How could I get lost?"
"I'm not afraid you'll get lost. I'm afraid someone will bully you." Zhai Cheng glanced at Leng Jing after saying that.
In Leng Jing's eyes, her uncle was indirectly saying that she was the one who would bully others. How could her uncle think of her like this?
"Uncle!" Leng Jing pouted.
But Zhai Cheng didn't even look at her. He pushed open the door and went in. Being ignored was really unpleasant. Leng Jing became even more angry and blamed it all on Song Ge. It was all this woman's fault. If it weren't for Song Ge, her uncle definitely wouldn't think of her like this.
Although Song Ge seemed gentle on the surface and would say a few good words for her from time to time, she was actually very vicious. Maybe when she wasn't around, Song Ge would talk behind her back in front of her uncle and say bad things about her. That's why her uncle didn't like her anymore, right?
Song Ge glanced at Leng Jing and saw the hateful look in her eyes. She felt a little sad. Although she could understand Leng Jing's prejudice against her, she was still heartbroken. Everyone had a heart of flesh. She had shown her utmost sincerity to Leng Jing, but why couldn't she see it?
Song Ge sighed. "Leng Jing, do you have some misunderstandings about me?"
Leng Jing snorted and raised her chin proudly, like a proud peacock. Even though this kind of behavior was very insulting to Song Ge, she still had to admit that the rich were the rich, and the aristocrats were the aristocrats. Leng Jing did this kind of action very naturally. It wasn't intentional but an innate instinct of the aristocrats. This made Song Ge feel even more uncomfortable. She was afraid that no matter how hard she tried, she would never have this kind of confidence.
Inferiority had been deeply engraved in her bones, and it couldn't be changed overnight.
Even though only a few seconds had passed, Song Ge felt that time had passed incredibly slowly. She only heard Leng Jing say, "I have nothing to do with you. Where did the misunderstanding come from?"
Leng Jing was right. Apart from Zhai Cheng, she really had no presence in the Zhai family. Leng Jing looked like she didn't want to listen to anything. But Song Ge thought that whether Leng Jing listened or not was her business, and whether she said it or not was her own business.
"No, I think there is a misunderstanding." Not sure if Leng Jing would listen, Song Ge still said it. At least saying it would make her feel better.
"You seem to have a big prejudice against me. I don't know where it comes from."
"Birth is not something I can decide. In fact, no one can decide their own birth, right?"
"If you dislike me because of this, I seem to have nothing to defend myself with because I can't change the existing reality." She said word by word.
"If I could, who wouldn't want to choose a wealthy family? Do you ask me if I envy you? The answer is yes."
Song Ge took a breath and sorted out her thoughts. "Leng Jing, in the end, you don't hate me as a person, but rather you hate why such an excellent person like Zhai Cheng chose me."
As if her secret had been exposed, Leng Jing's eyes widened. She reacted strongly. "What are you joking about? How could I hate my uncle?"
"Exactly!" Song Ge murmured in a low voice. "You're not even sure about something, but I've discovered it. So you feel panicked, right?"
"Leng Jing, have you carefully observed that among all the things I've said just now, your reaction was the most intense to this sentence. Leng Jing, I really guessed right, didn't I?"
Leng Jing opened her mouth and looked at Song Ge in disbelief, as if trying to digest Song Ge's words.
Was she right?
A voice in her heart told her no, she was completely wrong.
But another voice told her that Leng Jing, you're finished. She's guessed your secret, and it's the person you hate the most.
"No, it's not..." Leng Jing was anxious. How could she hate her uncle? Her uncle was so perfect. He was an irreplaceable idol in her heart. She could hate anyone but never her uncle!
It must be this woman, Song Ge. She had brainwashed her. Leng Jing thought that her uncle's misunderstanding of her might have been caused by Song Ge's brainwashing. Song Ge was so eloquent and good at arguing. She had been deceived, and her uncle was no exception.
"Don't be in a hurry to deny yourself. Listen to the voice in your heart." Song Ge smiled gently.
What was the voice in her heart? Was it that she really hated her uncle?
This was absolutely impossible! She didn't want to listen to the voice in her heart. Song Ge was too scary. A few simple words had turned her into this. She was really too dangerous, wasn't she?
Why did her uncle still keep such a dangerous person by his side? Couldn't her uncle get out? Zhai Cheng was deeply trapped in the quagmire.
A feeling of despair rose in Leng Jing's heart. This woman named Song Ge, whether she admitted it or not, becoming her uncle's wife seemed to be an irreversible fact. Should she continue to struggle? Maybe not. But she was so unwilling! Zhai Cheng, who was like a god, was actually willingly captured? It sounded like a joke, but it was the truth.
