C182 To Welcome You

The villa Soong Shiyan was currently staying in wasn't too far away from Soong Family Big House in the first place, so after a short while, the small carriage arrived in front of Soong Family Big House. In the car, Soong Shiyan looked at the huge luxurious black door in front of her, and the corner of her mouth curled up into a cold smile.

The driver slowly stopped the car. Seeing this, the bodyguard standing at the door hurried over to Soong Shiyan's car. He bent down and lightly knocked on the window. He respectfully said, "Hello, please show me your invitation."

Seeing this, Tiankui slowly rolled down the window. She took out the invitation and handed it over to the bodyguard, saying in a weird tone: "It's not like you guys don't know, the people who came to Soong Family Great House today all came to attend the tea ceremony. Is there really a need to go through all this trouble?"

The bodyguard gave an embarrassed smile and took the invitation from Tiankui, explaining, "Sorry, this is our duty."

"It's fine, we can understand." Soong Shiyan, who was sitting beside Tiankui, said gently.

The bodyguard recognized Soong Shiyan and said with a respectful smile, "So it's Miss Jing Sung, please come in!" After he finished speaking, he did not even look at the invitation card and directly used the remote control to open the door.

Upon seeing this, Tiankui rolled her eyes, sneered, and then slowly rolled up the window.

"Tiankui, the person who provoked you was Soong Shiyan, not these bodyguards. You don't have to take it out on them, right?" There was still a driver in the car, so Soong Shiyan said in a low voice.

"Yeah, I'm being petty, okay?" Hearing this, Tiankui angrily said to Soong Shiyan. She then turned her head away, no longer looking at Soong Shiyan.

Soong Shiyan actually knew that the reason Tiankui targeted these bodyguards was because she felt that the bodyguards who could stay in Soong Family Big House were probably related to her father's death that day. Tiankui was helping her redress her grievances, which was why she was acting in such a manner.

Soong Shiyan was about to explain to Tiankui when she caught a glimpse of the driver observing the two of them through the rearview mirror. She squeaked and turned her head to the other side.

It was already the latter part of March. Even though she was quite a distance away, Soong Shiyan could still see the pink clouds at first glance — — The cherry blossom forest at the Soong Family Great House was just in time. It was like a painter accidentally sprinkling pink paint onto a piece of paper, and it unwittingly became indescribably beautiful.

Back then, she had been very fond of cherry blossoms, so Dad had sent someone to bring back cherry blossoms from Japan and transplant them into the house. Fortunately, these cherry trees were adapted to the environment, and with the painstaking care of the gardeners, they grew well. It was a flawless pink, intoxicating beauty when it came to the flowering season.

"How do you feel about the beautiful scenery of Soong Family Great House?" Tiankui turned around and glanced at Soong Shiyan, purposely poking her in her sore spot.

Soong Shiyan pretended to inadvertently glance at the driver. When she saw that he didn't seem to be paying attention to Tiankui's problem, she felt slightly more at ease. She looked at the familiar grass and trees outside, pretended not to care, and replied indifferently: "My feeling is, the scenery in Soong Family Great House is really beautiful."

"Do you want to stay here?" Tiankui continued.

"I don't want to." There was a trace of coldness in Soong Shiyan's eyes. As soon as she stepped into Soong Family Great House's land, she would think of how so many people had died because of her. But, the Soong Family Big House was hers, she would take it back sooner or later!

Seeing that Soong Shiyan's expression was calm, Tiankui immediately lost the interest to continue ridiculing her. She gloomily rolled down the window as if she was bored. She leaned against the window as she surveyed her surroundings. However, there was a trace of shrewdness in her eyes.

"Miss, there is a fork in the road ahead. Which road should we take now?" the driver asked, slowing down and looking at Soong Shiyan through the rearview mirror.

"To the right." Hearing this, Soong Shiyan didn't even raise her head as she lightly said,

Hearing this, the driver's face revealed a surprised look. Although it was a quick reaction, it didn't escape Tiankui's eyes.

"This Soong Family Great House is truly grand, but, this road is so tortuous, it seems a bit petty … Last time, the CEO and I sent Mr. Yinn home, we took the wrong road here." Tiankui pointed at the fork in the road and said excitedly.

"Who told you to drive so fast, Mr. Yinn didn't even have the time to point the way before you drove off on another road." Soong Shiyan looked at Tiankui helplessly.

Tiankui chuckled and said in an honest tone, "I was just thinking of sending him over so that I could send you home, CEO!"

Soong Shiyan shook her head helplessly, but her eyes seemed to be very satisfied with Tiankui's performance.

Seeing this, the driver's face finally returned to normal, as if he didn't think about anything else at all.

Soong Shiyan and Tiankui calmly used their eyes to communicate for a moment. Then, they both turned their heads to observe their surroundings with "great interest".

… ….

The car slowly stopped in front of the main house. A servant walked up with a humble smile and respectfully opened the door for Soong Shiyan.

"Miss Jing Sung, my Miss is currently waiting for you in the greenhouse. Please follow me." The servant said to Soong Shiyan with a smile. Then, he walked to the front and led the way, preparing to lead the way for Soong Shiyan.

"Greenhouse?" Soong Shiyan said in surprise, "Could it be that we're having afternoon tea in the greenhouse?"2

The greenhouse had an area of at least ten thousand square meters. There were all kinds of flowers and many precious flowers. In the past, his father had even specially hired five servants to take care of these flowers and plants. He had even hired three experienced old gardeners to cultivate new species. Everything was just because Soong Shiyan had teased him when she was young, "I want to be a flower fairy."

"Miss Jing Sung, no. The afternoon tea was arranged in the cherry garden. Going through the greenhouse is closer. " The servant explained with a smile.

"Oh, I see — but I hope you'll slow down a bit. After all, Soong Family Main Hall is grand and imposing, I have long heard of your great name and had wanted to take a good look at it since a long time ago. " "Soong Shiyan buried the bitterness in her heart and said to the servant with a kind smile.

The servant was used to being ordered around by Yinn Haoming and Yan Duoya. However, when he saw Soong Shiyan, who also had a noble identity, smiling at him, he suddenly felt that he had earned his respect. Her face brimmed with a smile. Her expression turned a little more sincere as she said, "Ok, Miss Jing Sung."

Along the way, Soong Shiyan did not see a single familiar face, and she could not help but feel a little disappointed. She thought about it and felt that it made sense. With such a huge change in the Soong Family, how could Yinn Haoming and Yan Duoya take the risk of letting those servants continue working in the Soong Family? Anyone who knew her better would be able to tell that something was amiss with Yan Duoya.

Soong Shiyan and Tiankui pretended to look around curiously, but their minds were rapidly memorizing the surveillance cameras along the way as well as some dead ends.

Before long, the three of them had arrived at the greenhouse. Soong Shiyan couldn't help but stop and look up at the cherry blossoms blooming on both sides of the road. The warm sunlight shone down on her body, making her feel warm all over. A breeze blew and a pink rain of flowers fell from the sky. Soong Shiyan couldn't help but stretch out her hand, and a pink petal fell into her palm.

Soong Shiyan's heart, which had originally been calm, started to ache again for some reason. Her eyes became clear and cold, and she couldn't help but clench her hands tightly. By the time she opened them again, the petals had already become wrinkled. With a gentle blow from Soong Shiyan, the flower petal fell to the ground.

"Jing Sung, you're here —" Unknowingly, Yan Duoya had also come out of the greenhouse. She waved at Soong Shiyan with a smile, then walked to Soong Shiyan's side and said with a smile, "Why are you only here now?"

Soong Shiyan hid her sorrowful thoughts as she looked at Yan Duoya with a kind face and greeted her, saying, "Shiyan, why aren't you greeting Noble Miss in there? Why do you have to run out to greet her?"

"I saw that you didn't come all the way here, so I waited anxiously." Yan Duoya also held Soong Shiyan's hand, pouting coquettishly.

That's right, although the tea ceremony was held in Soong Family Great House by Yan Duoya, the host's name was Jing Sung. As for the Noble Miss who had attended the tea ceremony, it was all because of the name 'Jing Sung'. Noble Miss and Noble Miss had already guessed that there was some sort of relationship between Soong Shiyan and Yan Duoya. However, Soong Shiyan hadn't arrived yet, so naturally, none of those Noble Miss's group took Yan Duoya seriously.

Yan Duoya naturally understood her current situation. She knew that even with Lin Lang around, these Noble Miss's wouldn't be too enthusiastic about her. Therefore, she couldn't wait for Soong Shiyan to arrive early and give her face. When Yan Duoya thought about how those pretentious women would come to curry favor with her, she had already started to feel pleased with herself, and she started to feel proud of herself.

Yan Duoya glanced at Tiankui who was following behind Soong Shiyan, and immediately thought of that day when she was ruthlessly slapped on the face by this woman in Soong's department store. The moment she saw Tiankui, Yan Duoya felt a dull ache on her face. The smile on her face was a little stiff.

Tiankui had dressed up well today, and could be said to be very outstanding. Even if she stood in the middle of Noble Miss's group, she would stand out like a crane amongst chickens. She was so beautiful that people couldn't help but take a few more glances. The pink dress she wore was especially beautiful. Yan Duoya originally wanted to buy it, but she was unable to. Now that Tiankui had worn it, not only did it make Yan Duoya resentful, it also made her feel ashamed.

Yan Duoya looked at Tiankui with a bit of jealousy. She had sent people to investigate that this Anna woman was not Noble Miss at all, but Jing Sung's personal assistant. What did she think she was? She was just a small assistant to Jing Sung, yet she dared to be disrespectful to him! When he found an opportunity in the future, he would definitely make her regret her actions that day, and then he would kneel down and apologize to her!

However, Yan Duoya knew that she needed to rely on Jing Sung now, and this woman was not only Jing Sung's assistant, but also Jing Sung's friend. No matter how angry she was, she had to hold it in. Thinking of this, Yan Duoya forced a smile and said to Tiankui, "Miss Anna, last time, I was impulsive and made you unhappy. I hope you, Miss Anna, will forgive me this time."
