C214 Go to Visit
In order to not let others discover it, Soong Shiyan did not let Tiankui drive her there. Instead, she called a taxi and arrived at Lin Family alone.
The matter of Lin Lang cutting her wrist and committing suicide was sealed off by the people from the Lin Family. As a result, no one in the outside world knew about it and naturally no one came to visit.
Soong Shiyan came to the front door of Lin Family and revealed her identity. Previously, Zheng Jinghao had informed Lin Bo on the phone that Jing Sung would visit Lin Lang, so the servant quickly opened the door and respectfully brought Soong Shiyan into Lin Family.
Soong Shiyan was naturally very familiar with Lin Family. Back then, before Lin Lang had even gone overseas, she had often come to Lin Family to play with Lin Lang. It could be said that even Soong Shiyan could still remember the rough layout of the Lin Family up till now. Now, after a long period of time had passed, when Soong Shiyan came to the Lin Family once again, a feeling of familiarity arose involuntarily, causing her to uncontrollably sigh.
Hearing Soong Shiyan sigh, the servant thought she was worried about Lin Lang's illness, so he smiled and said to her, "Miss Jing Sung, my Miss will wake up this afternoon. Don't worry."
Hearing this, Soong Shiyan smiled bitterly. Then, she seemed to have thought of something and asked the servant: "That Xue Zhaowu, is he still in Lin Family?"
At the mention of Xue Zhaowu, the servant was also a bit angry. His tone also carried some unfairness as he said: "Him? Still here — this afternoon, when the young lady had woken up, the master and the two of them had talked for some time in the study, and we servants did not know what they were talking about. "But —" The servant looked around and whispered to Soong Shiyan.
"But what?" Seeing this, Soong Shiyan was slightly curious.
"Everyone is guessing, that the father and son duo, Master and Xue Family, are in the study room discussing the Miss's marriage with Xue Zhaowu." Then the servant sighed heavily.
Hearing this, Soong Shiyan's expression turned a little heavier. Lin Lang and Xue Zhaowu didn't like each other in the first place, so the two of them finally got their family's permission to cancel the engagement. But now, the issue of Lin Lang and Xue Zhaowu staying over at the hotel had become so big that the circle didn't have a good impression of Lin Lang. There were also many people who took the opportunity to discredit Lin Lang's image. From the looks of it, only by getting Lin Lang and Xue Zhaowu married could Lin Lang's reputation be preserved.
However, even if Lin Lang married Xue Zhaowu and saved her reputation, would Lin Lang really be happy? Soong Shiyan didn't know.
… ….
Soong Shiyan came to the front of Lin Lang's room. The servant who brought her here knocked on the closed door and said to the person inside, "Miss, Miss Jing Sung has come to see you."
No one answered him. After a while, the door opened slowly. It was Lin Lang's mother.
Lin Lang was lying on the bed with a bottle in her hand. Her face was pale and she looked weak. It was a sight to behold. It seemed that Lin Lang's mother was worried that she would do something stupid, so she stayed in her bedroom, guarding her.
"You are?" Lin's mother looked at Soong Shiyan, but didn't recognize her, so she asked.
"Hello, Auntie. I'm Jing Sung. I heard that Lin Lang is not in a good mood right now, so I came to see her--this is Lin Lang's favorite food, Tiramisu. " Soong Shiyan looked at Lin's mother and said with a smile. With that said, she passed the delicate box in her hand to Lin's mother.
"Come on in!" Lin's mother saw that Soong Shiyan had a decent speech, so she smiled and invited her into the room.
Servants brought chairs for Soong Shiyan to sit and chat with them by the bed.
Lin's mother opened the box and said to Lin Lang, who was lying on the bed, "Daughter, Jing Sung brought you Tiramisu, do you want to eat it?"
Hearing this, Lin Lang did not say anything but nodded her head nonetheless.
Seeing this, a trace of a gratified smile surfaced on Lin's mother's face. She looked at Soong Shiyan, sighed, and said, "This child, I said she has no appetite, and has not eaten for quite a number of meals. Fortunately, she is still willing to eat the Tiramisu that you brought.
Soong Shiyan nodded with a smile but didn't say anything. She knew that Lin Lang had a habit of eating only sweets when she was in a bad mood. Therefore, when she came to Lin Family today, she would go to Lin Lang's favorite bakery and ask the pastry chef to make her a strawberry-flavored tiramisu.
Lin Lang looked at Soong Shiyan in confusion. "Why are you here?"
Seeing Lin Lang's worry, Soong Shiyan explained with a smile, "How can I not worry when something has happened to you? "So, I came to take a look — don't worry, I came in a taxi. I took a circle around the city center before I came to see you."
"My cousin told you?" That big mouth of Zheng Jinghao! The next time I meet him, I will definitely not let him off! " Lin Lang said angrily.
"How can a child like you call your cousin by his name? Are there any more courtesies? " Lin's mother looked at Lin Lang as she complained.
"Who asked him to tell poetry about me … Jing Sung's? " Lin Lang said angrily.
Seeing that, Soong Shiyan smiled and said to Lin Lang: "Lin Lang, don't blame him. I called you so many times, but you never answered. That's why I called him. "
Hearing this, Lin Lang remained silent. She originally thought that as long as she didn't see Xue Zhaowu again, after a while, this matter might be over. However, she never expected that the matter between her and Xue Zhaowu would be captured by the media and even appear on the news boards and television screens. She couldn't think of anything else, so she went to the bathroom and tried to end her own life. When Soong Shiyan called her, she was still in rescue and hadn't woken up.
Lin's mother fed Lin Lang spoonfuls after spoonfuls of Tiramisu. She sighed and asked, "Lin Lang, did something happen between you and Shiyan?"
"Why did you suddenly ask that?" Lin Lang looked at her mother with a puzzled expression.
"Didn't she always have a good relationship with you, as if she was wearing a pair of pants? What happened to you? Not only did she not visit, she didn't even bother to make a phone call? Sigh, I really don't understand the thoughts of you youngsters! " Lin's mother shook her head.
Hearing this, Soong Shiyan looked at Lin's mother and smiled awkwardly. At this moment, she was sitting right there. However, other than Lin Lang, no one else knew her true identity.
Lin Lang rolled her eyes and looked at Lin's mother. She said impatiently, "Mom, you can go now!"
Seeing that, Lin's mother smiled awkwardly and said: "Sigh, I'm really old and muddled! You youngsters will only have something to say if you stay together, while I sit here, I will only ruin the scenery. Jing Sung, I will leave first, you can accompany Lin Lang here and properly enlighten her. "
"I know, Aunt, don't worry!" Soong Shiyan replied with a smile.
Lin's mother placed the Tiramisu on a nearby table and walked out of Lin Lang's bedroom, closing the door behind them.
Soong Shiyan sat on the edge of the bed. Looking at Lin Lang's pale face, she asked with concern, "Lin Lang, are you feeling better now?"
Hearing this, Lin Lang nodded her head with an unconcerned expression. She looked at Soong Shiyan and said with a smile, "I didn't die. Aside from the burning wound, everything else is fine."
"You know, I asked about something else." Soong Shiyan looked into Lin Lang's eyes and said with a serious expression.
"Of course I'm all right — it's not a feudal era. It's not a big deal to spend the night in a hotel. Don't tell me you want to be dipped in a pig cage and criticized by the world?" Lin Lang said indifferently. However, the more she pretended, the more Soong Shiyan's heart ached.
"Lin Lang, you don't need to act in front of me, because I know what you're thinking." Soong Shiyan looked at Lin Lang with a pained expression.
Hearing that, Lin Lang's expression instantly became sad. She lowered her head and did not say anything, but her entire person was shrouded in silence and grief.
"Xue Zhaowu, he …" Soong Shiyan wanted to prove Xue Zhaowu's innocence. She wanted to say something, but hesitated, afraid that it would affect Lin Lang's mood.
"Shiyan, don't mention this name in front of me again in the future. If it wasn't for the fact that killing will make you pay with your life, I would have definitely killed him long ago!" The moment Xue Zhaowu was mentioned, Lin Lang became excited and her tone was filled with hatred.
Soong Shiyan knew that Lin Lang must have misunderstood Xue Zhaowu and thought it was because of him. Therefore, she braced herself and explained Xue Zhaowu, "Lin Lang, this thing really isn't what you think it is."
"What do I think?" Lin Lang said coldly.
"Do you think that Xue Zhaowu sent people to do this? However, I have already investigated and found out that the person who drugged the food was not Xue Zhaowu's man, but this man! "Just like you, Xue Zhaowu was set up by someone." Saying that, Soong Shiyan took out the photo Tiankui had given her and handed it to Lin Lang.
Lin Lang hesitated for a moment before taking the photo from Soong Shiyan. She glanced at it and was so angry that her entire body began to tremble. After a long while, she finally said while gnashing her teeth: "I don't know him at all. There's no enmity between us, so why does he want to harm me? — Just who sent this person?"
"I don't know — I haven't even found out who he is. However, Lin Lang, don't worry, I've already sent people to investigate — but it might take quite a bit of time. " Soong Shiyan said with a frown.
"It's fine. No matter how long it takes, I can wait. Once I catch this person, I will definitely make him pay the price for his actions!" A trace of hatred rose in Lin Lang's eyes as she spoke while gritting her teeth.
Soong Shiyan couldn't help but sigh when she saw Lin Lang being blinded by hatred. She never wanted Lin Lang to get involved with the matter between her and Yan Duoya. She just didn't want to see Lin Lang being blinded by hatred. But now, she couldn't do anything about it.
"I heard from your family's servant that Uncle and Xue Zhaowu had been discussing things in the study room with the intention of getting you married." Soong Shiyan hesitated for a moment, but eventually she said to Lin Lang, hoping that she would prepare her mind, "Lin Lang, what exactly do you think?"
Lin Lang's face broke into a bitter smile. She looked at Soong Shiyan and said faintly, "Since things have come to this point, what else can I do? At that time, I finally cancelled the marriage contract. I thought that I would be able to meet a person I liked and walk into the palace of marriage with that person. But now, with such a thing happening and making such a fuss, I think no one would really want to marry me. After all, no one wants to wear such a big green hat without getting married. Even if we get married, it will only become a joke in the media.
"Lin Lang, if you really don't like Xue Zhaowu, then don't force yourself to marry him — after I get my revenge, we can go overseas and start a new life together. No matter which country you want to go to, I'm willing to go with you. " Looking at Lin Lang's expression, Soong Shiyan felt bitter in her heart.
"Shiyan, you and I are different in the end — — right now, you are the only one left in Soong Family, so you can go anywhere without any restraints and start your life anew. But I can't! My home is still here, and I still have my parents. No matter where I go, the people I care about will always be here. " As Lin Lang spoke, she couldn't help but shed tears.
"So, are you determined to marry Xue Zhaowu?" Soong Shiyan sighed and said, "You know that Xue Zhaowu doesn't like you. Do you really want to marry a man who doesn't love you? Do you really want to live a life without love? "
"Shiyan, I know, the person Xue Zhaowu likes is you. In this way, I am reassured — at least, I know, you will have nothing to do with him, having regard to my feelings. In this way, I don't have to worry, I will become what others call a 'husband that betrayed his wife'. Lin Lang bitterly smiled, and the tears in the corners of her eyes sparkled as she said, "But …"
"But what?" Soong Shiyan was puzzled.
"I've already heard from mom that Xue Zhaowu would rather pay with his life than marry me," Lin Lang pretended not to care at all as she smiled and said, "I've already let go of my previous prejudice and agreed to marry him. But now, he actually seems to despise me." "Shiyan, tell me, why am I so unlucky?"0
"Lin Lang, rest well. Don't think too much about it. Once Xue Zhaowu calms down, he will naturally make the right decision." Soong Shiyan comforted him with a smile.
"But, I can't think too much about it. You know, what are those people online saying about me right now? "If Xue Zhaowu doesn't marry me, I will lose all my face in my family." Lin Lang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Lin Lang, don't worry. You'll have a good night's sleep tonight — no one will talk about you in the morning?" Soong Shiyan smiled soothingly.
"But, if there really is a way, dad wouldn't be so anxious." Lin Lang said in a choked voice.
"Don't worry, I have a way." "Tomorrow morning, Xue Zhaowu will not only agree to marry you, but those people on the internet will also not talk about you anymore." Soong Shiyan held Lin Lang's hand to make her believe him.
"Shiyan, have you really thought of something?" Lin Lang looked at Soong Shiyan, her face full of hope.
"En!" Soong Shiyan nodded her head heavily and said, "So this time, you have to believe me just like before — I will think of a way to resolve this matter."
"Shiyan, I believe you." A trace of a smile appeared on Lin Lang's face.
It could be that Lin Lang's water had a tranquilizer, so it didn't take long for a trace of weariness to surface on her face. Lin Lang yawned before slowly falling asleep.
Soong Shiyan looked at Lin Lang's serene sleeping face before standing up and slowly leaving her bedroom.
