Chapter 166 - 166: A Different Her
Luo Bing did not expect Song Nan to say it so directly. Instead, he blushed. “I’m fine. The elders like this. Don’t mind them. Although today’s gathering is a little retro, we won’t be the victims of an arranged marriage.”
Song Nan’s eyes flickered. Luo Bing seemed to hear a faint sigh, but he looked at Song Nan calmly. She said calmly, “Actually, I’m also a guest in the Mu Family. It’s just that I received Auntie’s favor and she sponsored me, so I have this unique identity. I’m not Miss Mu, but I’m not a servant of the Mu Family either.”
Song Nan looked up. Seeing that Luo Bing was not impatient and was listening attentively, she was relieved. She smiled brightly. “I don’t have any intention of complaining. I was forced by Auntie at the Shen Family once. Today, it’s the same again. I’m really worried that you’ll find me detestable!”
“Auntie is doing this for my own good. I can’t embarrass Auntie, but I also want my face and don’t want to be misunderstood by Director Luo. Now that the two families are so close, I’m afraid there will be many such scenes in the future. Thank you for not embarrassing me directly. Please help me smooth things over if you encounter such a thing in the future! I’ll be really grateful!”
Song Nan might as well be more direct. In the end, she laughed too.
Luo Bing, on the other hand, had a good impression of Song Nan. After all, no one could reject such a straightforward girl. She took her pride and rubbed it against the ground.
Luo Bing could not help but say, “Don’t say that. I’ve made things difficult for you every time. I’m sorry.”
Song Nan smiled. “I’m already used to it. If it weren’t for Mu Ci’s poor health, Auntie would have forced me into Mu Ci’s arms back then. Fortunately, Mu Ci has married Bei Shuo now. I’m relieved that the two of them are still so close.”
Luo Bing was shocked. “Are you going to listen to your Auntie like this? Aren’t you going to resist?”
Song Nan’s smile was a little bitter. “Without Auntie, I wouldn’t have survived until now. She’s doing this for my own good. Why should I resist it? However, I’m older now and have the ability to support myself and repay Auntie, so I can’t agree to the marriage she arranged for me blindly. Moreover, I think you guys are very nice and it must be very happy to be friends with you, so I want to find an opportunity to make things clear so that you won’t hate me.”
Song Nan covered her mouth and smiled. “I’m a little conniving because I don’t want to be hated by you guys.”
Luo Bing hurriedly said, “No, I won’t hate you.”
“Thankyou!” Song Nan said sincerely.
Luo Bing thought for a moment and said, “We don’t have the right to choose our background, but we can choose who to marry. Don’t marry someone just to repay your kindness. Your life is so long. Don’t suffer the first half of your life and create the pain for the second half.”
Song Nan’s eyes turned red and she choked. “This is the first time I’ve heard such words. Thank you!”
She seemed to find it difficult to control her emotions and smiled hurriedly. “I’ll go over first.”
Looking at her back, Luo Bing fell into deep thought.
Song Nan stopped crying the moment she turned around and smiled.
It was impossible to capture a man’s heart by fighting him head-on. Duan Si still did not understand this logic. Hence, her husband would not come back to see her. Her marriage only existed in name.
Was she going to bet her entire life on such a failure?
Luo Bing was just a good spare tire that she had chosen. To her, the Mu Family was her first target. It was because they were familiar and easy to control.
“Who do you think you are?! How dare you shout in front of me?”
Shen Su’s sharp voice sounded around the corner. Song Nan was shocked and hurried over.
Bei Shuo was holding Shen Su back, while Bei Le was covering her face and crying in Shen Yu’s arms.
Shen Yu’s face was full of anger, but she didn’t dare to say anything.
Duan Si and Yu Ling were not around, so Song Nan had to walk over and ask with concern, “What’s wrong?”
Shen Su’s face was cold, and Bei Le only knew how to cry.
Song Nan stopped smiling and said calmly, “Bei Shuo, Bei Le is your younger sister and Shen Su is a guest. They had a conflict in front of you. Aren’t you too disappointing as the Eldest Young Madam of the Mu Family?”
Shen Su didn’t expect Song Nan to target Bei Shuo. She was about to speak when Bei Shuo stopped her. Bei Shuo said calmly, “Shen Su, let’s go to my place.”
However, Bei Le said, “Sister, you’re so ruthless!”
