Chapter 29
Eating Western Foods
After Song Fan went to school, she was prepared to rent a house near the school. She did not want to take a taxi to school from the Song residence daily.
Besides, leaving her belongings with the Song residence was unsafe. She touched the pistol hidden at the back of her waist. She did not want to receive nagging from the Song family.
Song Fan rented the house as quickly as possible and planned to move in the next day.
Song Yin believed that her brother would let Song Fan go back.
Although there was no news, she planned to use a trick to make Song Fan leave immediately.
Therefore, she deliberately said during dinner, “Elder Brother called me and said that Sister has already broken off her engagement with the Fu family. The purpose of bringing her back has been achieved. Will Sister still stay at home?”
Although Song Kai scolded all the servants, he did not live at home. The servants were only afraid momentarily and did not take it seriously. Therefore, they did not treat Song Fan as a young miss.
When they heard Song Yin’s words, they were happy. It seemed that she was finally leaving.
When Song Fan returned home at night, she saw the happy servants. She did not understand why these people were laughing, but it had nothing to do with her.
Song Yin limped over and said, “Sister, you’re back. Dinner is ready. Hurry up and sit down.”
The dining room had prepared a table full of delicacies, different from the morning dry bread. However, the table was filled with Western foods, and none could be eaten with chopsticks.
Song Yin stood at the side and watched.
When Song Fan’s mother was alive, the family only ate Chinese food. Only after she passed away did the family start eating Western food. At that time, Song Fan had already been sent out.
Song Yin thought that Song Fan had never eaten these dishes before. She probably did not even know how to hold a knife and fork.
The servants also gathered at the door, waiting to see the Young Miss make a fool of herself.
Having experienced the luxury of the Song family, they considered themselves above the common folk.
Despite Song Fan’s privileged upbringing, they believed their knowledge surpassed hers. This made them even happier, so they all looked forward to the opportunity to mock Song Fan.
Song Fan ignored the food. He thought that the Song family’s menu today was Western food.
She picked up her knife and fork and skilfully cut the steak, startling Song Yin, who was about to go forward to remind her. Song Fan looked like he was already used to eating this. She was not at a loss, as she had imagined.
Not only did she pick up the knife and fork correctly, but she even made only a slight sound when she cut the steak. This was not something that could be done for the first time.
She was dressed in casual clothes, but she looked elegant and calm, like a noble.
Song Yin gritted her teeth and looked at her. She had worked hard for so many years to practice dining etiquette. She was even more careful when she ate, afraid that anything would be wrong. That was why she had a good reputation for being elegant.
How could a village girl like Song Fan have such manners? She should be uncivil. Could it be that she had the blood of the Song family?
“Sister, have you eaten Western food before?” Song Yin asked.
Song Fan ignored her and said, “I don’t remember.”
Song Yin fell silent after being rebuffed. Seeing that Song Fan was about to go upstairs after the meal. She said anxiously, “I heard Fu Nian say that he has already broken off the engagement with you. Brother brought you back because of this. I wonder if he will send you back?”
Her face was full of worry as if she was saying this for Song Fan’s good.
Song Fan said indifferently, “Ask him yourself. Let me know when the time comes.”
Song Yin could not say anything else. She suspected that Song Fan knew something. Her brother was cold and did not talk much to his family. If she asked, she would be embarrassing herself.
Song Fan wiped her mouth with a napkin, then got up and went upstairs, leaving Song Yin in the dining room.
Song Yin had said so much just to scare Song Fan so she would know the difficulties and scram back to the countryside. Why did she seem not to understand? Could it be that she was not educated and was stupid?
The assistant passed Song Yin’s words to the Song family’s eldest brother. He believed that Song Fan intended to depart and arranged for someone to provide the travel expenses, pocket money for her return journey, and living expenses for her return to the countryside.
However, Song Yin only sent the plane tickets and left the money behind. The entire household was aware that the Young Miss was finally leaving.
Song Fan remained silent, placing the plane ticket on the table, packing her belongings, and preparing to move them outside. The following day, she departed in a car.
Song Yin believed that her scheme had succeeded, and she was in an exceptionally good mood on her way to school.
