Chapter 97: Song Ting’s Change
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Song Fan disregarded Song Yin’s words and turned her attention to Song Ting.
She explained, “The two of us went to the race track together.”
Song Ting fell silent, causing Song Yin to anticipate a scolding from him.
However, after a while, Song Ting surprised everyone by directing his words toward Song Kai. He said, “Song Kai, you took your sister to play with motorcycles. What were you thinking?”
This response caught Song Yin off guard. Why was Song Ting scolding Song Kai instead?
Song Kai nodded and admitted, “I was wrong. Please forgive me, Big Brother.”
“You were only concerned about bringing your sister to have fun and didn’t consider her safety at all. It’s one thing if you get injured, but what if Song Fan got hurt too?” Song Ting’s tone was stern.
Song Yin sensed that Song Ting was genuinely worried about Song Fan. She struggled to suppress her dissatisfaction. It had only been a short while, and it seemed like everyone in the family was already taking Song Fan’s side. Had they forgotten that she had drugged Song Kai when she was young?
However, Song Fan didn’t dwell on it and continued, “I had ridden a motorcycle before, so I went with him. Besides, I wasn’t injured. However, we do need to discuss Song Kai’s injury.”
Upon recognizing that there was more to the story, Song Ting adopted a more compassionate tone and asked Song Kai to sit on the sofa. Song Yin rushed to assist him, but her offer was declined. Song Kai insisted, “I can manage on my own.”
He attempted to hop onto the sofa with one leg, but Song Fan couldn’t stand it any longer. She lifted him and placed him on the sofa before Song Kai could realize the situation.
Song Kai flashed a grateful smile at Song Fan, revealing his white teeth. Meanwhile, Song Yin watched with simmering resentment as the two of them displayed such intimacy.
Song Fan proceeded to recount the entire incident to Song Ting and added, “This isn’t the first time Liu Yue has done something like this. There are people on the team who are colluding with him. Even if Song Kai hadn’t been injured today, someone else might have been. Therefore, the Song Family needs to take a stance and make it clear to the Liu Family that they need to deal with Liu
Yue.”
Song Ting nodded in agreement and remarked, “You’re right. The Song Family needs to make a clear statement to prevent others from getting hurt.”
Song Ting held a deep admiration for Song Fan’s perspective. Even though he was the young master of the Song Family, his primary occupation was that of a doctor, and he held a profound respect for life. He didn’t want anyone to suffer harm. Today, Song Fan approached the situation from a broader perspective rather than dealing with Liu Yue out of personal anger, which impressed him greatly.
Lately, Song Ting had been discovering facets of Song Fan that he hadn’t previously recognized. He realized that he didn’t know enough about her and was gradually learning to regard her with calmness.
This wasn’t what Song Yin had hoped for. She had wanted Song Ting to scold Song Fan and distance himself from her. Only then would Song Yin feel secure and believe herself to be the most cherished daughter of the Song Family.
Yet, Song Yin managed to suppress her frustration when she thought of the people she had arranged. These people had been gathering information on
Song Fan’s movements and were waiting for the opportune moment to strike.
When Song Fan vanished from this world, there would be no one to vie with her for her family’s affection.
Song Fan caught a glimpse of Song Yin’s expression and deduced that she must be plotting something. She recognized the smug look on her face, a familiar one from their childhood when Song Yin schemed against her.
Though she didn’t know the specifics of her plan, Song Fan was no longer a child and had no reason to be afraid.
As Song Fan prepared to leave, Song Ting halted her and suggested, “It’s quite late already. Why don’t you stay the night at home? I’ll have the driver take you to work tomorrow.”
Song Ting’s mood improved considerably as he mentioned her job. Among the Song Family members, who hailed from diverse fields, none were teachers. The education sector was a noble profession, and Song Fan’s appointment as a teacher at Eke at such a young age was commendable.
Despite Song Ting’s stoic demeanor and his tendency to speak curtly, he was genuinely pleased with Song Fan’s chosen profession.
Although teaching didn’t offer an exorbitant salary, it was a legitimate profession that could provide for one’s needs. In his view, the Song Family’s children should pursue such honorable careers.
Song Fan rode back in Song Kai’s car. She contemplated the situation and concluded that staying for the night wasn’t a major inconvenience, particularly considering the difficulty of finding a taxi in the area.
She nodded in agreement and headed upstairs to her room. Song Kai, on the other hand, intended to return to his room to sleep but was intercepted by Song Ting. “I haven’t finished discussing this with you,” Song Ting asserted.
“Big Brother, can’t we discuss it tomorrow?” Song Kai pleaded, adopting a fawning tone. Song Ting shook his head firmly. “I have early work tomorrow.”
