She is already an adult. Originally, she should be filial to her mother and respect her grandfather. However, now she only makes the old man angry.
She took a deep breath, suppressed her emotions a little, and walked slowly inside.
He walked in front of the two of them and stopped.
The moment Li Qiming saw her, he was not surprised, and even had a bit of joy on his face. However, that joy only lasted for a few seconds, and the next moment, he just said with a straight face: "Why did you let her come?!"
While looking at Song Zhixing, he was talking to Li Hanyan who was standing beside him.
Every word seemed to reveal impatience and indifference. Song Zhixing almost felt that the joy in her grandfather's eyes just now was just her illusion.
"Grandpa..." Song Zhixing was not afraid of the old man's coldness. He squatted down and held Li Qiming's hand. "I was too ignorant before. Please don't be angry with me, okay?"
"What do you mean now?" The old man's eyes fell on the luggage beside her.
Before Song Zhixing could speak, Li Hanyan said, "Xingxing plans to go back to Country J with us. Dad, please forgive her this time."
Hearing Li Hanyan's words, Li Qiming's expression became slightly better, and he asked again: "Are you and Tang Yu still breaking up?"
When asked this question, Song Zhixing bit her lip and could not answer. She didn't want to lie to her grandfather, but the truth would only make the old man angrier.
However, her silence said it all. Li Qiming was really unhappy. He snorted and brushed her hand away. "You don't have to go back with us. I told you that if you want to be with Tang Yu, we in the Li family will pretend that you don't exist! I'm not kidding you!"
"Grandpa, you can't abandon me." Song Zhixing hugged his arm again and acted like a spoiled child. He brushed her hand away, and she shamelessly grabbed his hand again, "Have you forgotten that when I was a child, you promised me that you would make me a kite and a wooden horse... You haven't done it for me yet! Even if you really don't want me, you have to make everything you promised me before you abandon me."
There was really no other way, so she started to cheat.
However, Li Qiming didn't buy her tricks at all. "You promised me when you were little that you would be obedient. But are you obedient now? Not only are you not obedient, you also abandoned your grandfather and betrayed your aunt because of a man 12 years older than you, a man you called 'uncle'! No matter who you ask to judge this matter, you are not right!"
Song Zhixing was left speechless. The charges that came one after another made her feel heavy in her heart and she could hardly breathe.
Li Qiming was very emotional, and at the end of his speech, his voice unconsciously became higher. The people around him heard what he said, and all of them cast inquiring looks at Song Zhixing.
There was also a nosy old lady who couldn't help but say, "Why does a young, beautiful child want to be with her uncle? This is incest, and it will be punished by God. It will be so embarrassing if this gets out to others!"
After that person finished speaking, Song Zhixing's face turned slightly pale. Li Qiming's face became even uglier, and he turned his neck away in annoyance, "Shame on you, your family? I'm teaching my granddaughter a lesson, do you have the right to interrupt?"
It is your own business to teach yourself, but it is not okay to be taught by outsiders.
The old lady was stunned by Li Qiming's yelling, and she finally managed to utter a word, "How can you be so ungrateful! Didn't I speak up for you?"
"No need!" Li Qiming waved his hand, "We don't need outsiders to interfere in our family affairs."
The old lady snorted angrily, "With your personality, it's no wonder you gave birth to such a rebellious granddaughter, you deserve it!"
Li Qiming's face turned livid, and he was about to reply. Li Hanyan saw this and quickly tried to smooth things over, "Dad, that's enough, stop talking. Didn't you keep saying you wanted to go to the bathroom? Go quickly, or you'll have to get on the plane soon."
Li Qiming snorted, stood up with the help of a cane, remembered something, looked back at Song Zhixing, and wanted to say something, but in the end, he said nothing and walked away with a stern face.
Song Zhixing sat on the ground, not moving for a long time. Li Hanyan looked at her for a long time before speaking in a calm voice: "Get up, everyone is watching, don't sit on the ground."
She came back to her senses, slowly stood up from the ground, and looked at Li Hanyan, with her head down, like a child who had done something wrong. Li Hanyan did not take the initiative to talk to her. After all these things, although the two of them had never really talked, it was obvious that they were no longer the same as before. A deep gap stood between them.
After a while, Li Hanyan suddenly moved, lifted her long hair, and took off a necklace from her neck. When Song Zhixing saw the small thing, his eyes became sore.
Li Hanyan handed the necklace to her, but Song Zhixing clenched her hands tightly and refused to take it. Li Hanyan stuffed the necklace into her hands, but she couldn't pry her hands open.
Li Hanyan hung the necklace on her finger and said, "Take it back."
The tone was slightly trembling.
"Auntie..." Song Zhixing's voice suddenly choked, and tears fell down. "Do you really not want me anymore?"
Li Hanyan's eyes were reddened. "You bought this thing to bring me and your uncle together. Now..."
She chuckled to herself, "Wouldn't you find it ironic if I wore it again?"
"I... I'm sorry." She mumbled "I" for a while, and finally could only utter these three words.
At this point, any explanation is just a sophistry. She stood in front of her aunt, always feeling guilty like a sinner. Even though, the relationship between her and Tang Yu was never initiated by her. Falling in love was already a mistake. Moreover, now, knowing that it was a mistake, she was powerless to change, and she was unwilling to change.
Li Hanyan smiled, but the smile was desolate and a little cold, "What are you sorry for? After the incident, your second uncle called me and told me not to blame you, saying that he was provoking you. He has already said that, what else can I say? Maybe, I should apologize to you. If it weren't for me, you two might have been together a long time ago. I was too ignorant before. You two were right in front of me, but I couldn't see anything. I just believed you..."
At this point, she suddenly felt sad. The feeling of being betrayed after trusting someone with all her heart made her clench her hands. She took several deep breaths and finally calmed down. She raised her chin to swallow the bitterness in her eyes, and finally said, "Forget it, it's all over. But Xingxing..."
Li Hanyan paused at this point and looked up at her.
Looking from her direction, I could only see a thin layer of moisture on her drooping eyelashes.
