Song Yongmei knew well what was going on. It was a deliberate attempt to challenge her. But she had no choice, she had her plans, she had to bear it. So she lowered her head and tears soon started to fall, looking up at Su Xiaowan and the others with tear-streaked face.
As she wept, she spoke, "Cousin, woo - I came here by myself. I - I snuck away to come here. Woo - Cousin, don't send me away. Please, don't send me away, woo ---"
Su Xiaowan, who was most sensitive to people's emotions, noted that although Song Yongmei was crying heartbreakingly, she largely seemed to be pretending. Even though Su Xiaowan's eyes were filled with pity, her brows furrowed involuntarily.
Su Xiaowan hadn't had much contact with Song Yongmei, but there was nothing peculiar about her behavior back at their hometown. Although she fought with Song Yongyan and stole things from her, Su Xiaowan chalked it up to juvenile pettiness.
