Speaking of this, she turned around innocently, about to leave.
Just then, the phone in the living room rang. Lan Yi answered it and hurriedly brought the phone over. "Madam, it's for you."
She handed the phone to Song Qiao Ying and added, "It's Miss Mu Jing calling."
Mu Jing??
Li Yu Sha wanted to snatch the phone, but it was already too late. With one foot already out of the dining room, she was neither going nor staying, feeling restless and anxious.
"Mu Jing?" Song Qiao Ying took the phone and asked with kindness, "Is there something you need, dear?"
"Auntie, Sasha's phone is turned off. I'm really worried about her. There's something I must tell you. Your relative, Qing Yan... she..."
Mu Jing had intended to say that Qing Yan had violent tendencies...
But Song Qiao Ying naturally asked, "Oh, you mean my daughter, Yan Yan? What happened to her?"
"You... Your daughter??" Now it was Mu Jing's turn to be stunned. After a few seconds of confusion, she asked, "Qing Yan, she's your daughter?"
"Yes."
"Biologically?"
"Yes."
"Then she really is Sasha's..."
"Sister."
"What did Sasha say she was..."
"What?"
On instinct, Mu Jing asked, "Isn't Qing Yan a relative of your family?"
"Sasha told you that? She said Yan Yan is a relative of our family?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yu Sha hurriedly rushed over and snatched the phone. "Mu Jing! Why are you calling again? Forget about relatives or non-relatives! Don't spread rumors! We have things to deal with, so stop causing trouble with your calls!"
After hanging up the phone, Li Yu Sha hastily explained, "Mom, don't listen to Mu Jing's nonsense. She must have misheard. I never said that my sister is a relative..."
Watching her agitated and angry, Song Qiao Ying's gaze darkened slightly. "Sha Sha, you have always been a sensible and kind child. What you do next, you should understand, right?"
"Mom... Don't worry, I will tell all our friends that my sister and brother-in-law are the rightful couple. I am just an adopted daughter..."
"I will never compete with my sister for my brother-in-law. I won't take anything that belongs to my sister!"
"Whether you believe it or not, in my heart, my sister is the most important..."
"I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. Really sorry!"
Tears streamed down her face as she took the opportunity to leave...
Qing Yan had been watching this drama since earlier, eating as she watched. Now she was full.
"Dad, Mom, take your time. I'll go upstairs first." She was about to leave.
"Yan Yan..." Song Qiaoying hurriedly held her back. "Let me apply some medicine for you."
"No need, it's just a minor injury. I can take care of it myself."
Qing Yan didn't think much of the minor injury, but Song Qiaoying insisted on making her sit down. Following the list handwritten by Si Yechen, she first applied some anti-inflammatory ointment and then some pain relief cream.
"Did Mu Jing trouble you today? What did she say?" Song Qiaoying wanted to clarify the situation.
"Not much," Qing Yan replied.
It was all just curses.
"It seems like Sasha deliberately misled Mu Jing, making her believe that you're a relative in the family..."
It's not hard to understand, considering Sasha had been doted on by their entire family for eighteen years.
She was the only princess in the family.
And suddenly, one day, a girl returned, claiming to be the real heiress, while Sasha was just an unrelated child...
Anyone would find it hard to accept such a sudden disparity...
"Perhaps she wanted to save face in front of her friends..." Song Qiaoying speculated. "Or maybe she was afraid to reveal your identity before it was made public... In any case, this incident has caused you distress."
"I'm not distressed." Qing Yan simply couldn't stand the green tea girl acting in front of her all the time. Tonight, she had a chance to strike back a little.
But unexpectedly, the green tea girl burst into tears and feigned distress again...
She was acting to an excessive degree.
Li Yuanfu, who was on the side, felt heartbroken. "Wait for some time until your grandfather, grandmother, and grandparents' health improves. We'll visit them together, and then let them decide when to announce your identity."
"No rush," Qing Yan planned to visit the Triangle District in a while. If her identity was revealed prematurely, those people wouldn't be able to touch her, but they would surely trouble her family...
Although Li Yuanfu and Song Qiaoying had several bodyguards, they were clearly not a match for those people.
If those people set their sights on the four elderly members of her family...
After some thought, Qing Yan made a decision. Besides the Triangle District, there were some threats that needed to be dealt with quickly...
When Li Yusha returned to her room, she cried her heart out, feeling both devastated and furious. "Mu Jing is such a fool!"
"Miss Mu Jing is just worried about you..." Zhang Ma gently stroked her back. "Don't be angry. You should be happy to have such a close friend."
"I almost ruined everything tonight!" Li Yusha sobbed, thinking about her parents' cold expressions. She felt aggrieved and angry. "It seems like my parents trust Qing Yan more and care more about her feelings... Does eighteen years of affection really pale in comparison to this blood relation? They promised to treat me as their own daughter..."
But every word was biased towards Qing Yan, criticizing her...
Their favoritism couldn't be any more evident!
"Fortunately, the young master went to rest, unaware of everything that just happened. Otherwise..."
Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but interject, "Be more cautious in the future and don't give that wretched girl any ammunition. I think she's nothing but a tattletale, always seeking trouble."
Liyusha agreed wholeheartedly with this viewpoint.
"Didn't you want her to accompany you and visit Mr. Si last time? Even if she didn't agree, she deliberately sulked and skipped lunch, just to get the attention of the master and madam... It's despicable!"
Liyusha also felt the same way. If Qing Yan didn't play mind games and didn't put up that icy facade, but instead tried to please her and get along with her, they could have been close sisters on the surface!
But unfortunately, Qing Yan didn't give her a friendly face and responded to her with all sorts of disdain...
"It's time to give her a taste of her own medicine." A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Mrs. Zhang's eyes. "We need to let the madam know that she's not as perfect as they imagine..."
Just because she can play the piano and do some sewing, she thinks she's superior... Compared to Miss Sasha, that wretched girl is far from having the true demeanor of a young lady!
Early the next morning...
After Qing Yan finished breakfast and was about to go to work, Li Yihan spoke up, "I'll take you there."
Liyusha almost couldn't hold her chopsticks upon hearing this.
"No need, I have someone to take me." Qing Yan stood up. "Enjoy your meal. I'll be home for dinner tonight."
Li Yihan looked at Aunt Lan, and Aunt Lan hurriedly explained, "It's Young Master Si, he comes to pick up and drop off Miss Qing Yan every day."
Si Yechen??
Song Qiaoying smiled mischievously and said, "That boy Archen is really thoughtful. I heard he gave Yan Yan a pink diamond necklace, QY's."
