“Your name is Song Lan. I am your father, dear.” Master Qing slowly said.
Song Lan… It was weird to suddenly have a new name, nevertheless, it was a nice name. And she had a nice father too. From what she could see, her father seemed to have spoiled her rotten just from looking at all the dolls and toys littered at the floor on the side.
“What do I call you?” Song Lan asked curiously. She never experienced a life that she could call someone her father.
Now that Song Lan finally answered him, Master Sun’s eyes twinkled and excitedly answered. “You can call me daddy!”
Song Lan nodded but didn’t call him. Honestly, she still felt estranged from this so-called father. As a child, she had never depended on anyone and never showed affection to others except for her brother. It was quite awkward for her. Not to mention, she died at the age of 19 as Qin Zhi so her current mental age was far from a six-year-olds.
Master Sun suddenly looked disappointed but nonetheless smiled brightly at her. “I understand that you don’t remember father. You do not have to force yourself, my little princess. Later on, your grandparents will also come to see you. Do not be frightened by them, they can be too worried sometimes.”
Song Lan smiled and nodded obediently. It was nice that her father understood her. She believed that she would feel comfortable soon.
And what like Master Sun said, soon enough two figures rushed inside her room, crowding her immediately. They fussed over her and asked her if she felt fine. Old Master Sun And Old Madam Li were especially doting too. Just like her father.
“Good child ah, let’s go and eat! You have to eat lots of food to replenish your energy so you could recover quickly.” Old Master Sun fussed.
Song Lan felt quite emotional, she couldn’t help but tear up a bit. It was all new to her. It was too overwhelming and she somehow felt that it was unfair to her brother. She didn’t even know if he’s living a good life right now. If he can remember their bitter past life or if he even reincarnated.
Old Master Sun felt apprehensive from seeing the child’s glassy eyes and red nose, looking like she would bawl any second now.
Old Madam Li glared at her husband accusingly. “Aiya! This old good for nothing. Look at what you’ve done!” She rebuked harshly with a matching slap on his nape before turning to her dear granddaughter.
“What’s the matter Lanlan? Were you frightened by that old man’s face? He might look like a shady character but he is your grandfather. I know, I was blind.”
With the show in front of her, Song Lan’s tears moved back. It seems like her grandparents’ relationship was quite harmonious… Though Grandmother Li seemed like a bully.
Song Lan laughed at their antics, feeling comfortable with their playful nature.
“No grandma, you look more like a shady character than grandpa!” Song Lan playfully said.
Old Madam Li froze and Old Master Sun laughed boisterously. “Your grandma’s a bully, is she not?”
Old Madam Li glared at her husband, “What are you saying to the child?! Smearing my name like that!”
She faced her granddaughter and smiled gently, “Aiyo, grandma wasn’t being a bully Lanlan. It’s simply showing people their places! You shouldn’t grow up being suppressed as the Sun family’s little mistress. Remember that everyone is below you, being a bully is better than being bullied ah!”
Old Master Sun looked at his wife, bewildered. “This old lady ah… what are you saying to the child? Teaching your ways to a good child.”
“What?” Old Madam looked irritated. “You do not know anything. Everyone was nice to you from birth because you were a young master from a wealthy family! Unlike you, I had to grit my teeth and let myself be insulted to death, lest I get fired from such a low paying and exhausting job.” She scoffed.
That was true. Actually, Song Lan agreed to her grandma’s mindset because of the humiliation she suffered from a very young age getting defiled and used by those monsters as Qin Zhi. Just remembering it made her grit her teeth in anger.
“Yes, yes. You are right.” Old Master Sun nodded and sucked up to his wife. He understood his wife’s sentiment, but it’s not like their granddaughter would ever be bullied. Who would even dare with her grandma’s notorious reputation… but there was no need for him to say that unless he was looking for a good beating. At least, he was sensible enough.
Old Madam Li was previously a grocery store part-timer for the high class. A lot of customers we’re lofty and made trouble. With her tough personality, she got fed up and almost got sued for assault. It could be said that most of the old madams were scared of her.
Later on, she met and got married to the then Young Master Sun. Some unfortunate members of the high society openly expressed their disdain for her. They had the impression that she schemed to get married to the Young Master Sun at that time.
But Old Madam Li was not someone to be trifled with. Sun Conglomerate at that time was only involved in winery and the food industry with its chains of restaurants. Old Madam Li led the conglomerate to its current glory by establishing the Sun Shopping Malls. It could be said that Old Madam Li had a lot of work to do with the expansion of the conglomerate to various fields. She was truly capable.
The Sun Shopping malls were for the cream of the top only. Those old madams are now so regretful they ever turned up their noses to Old Madam Li. Their daughters and sons were even implicated! They probably didn’t expect the Old Madam to be so petty, not giving single care to her reputation as the wife of Old Master Sun…
“Anyway dear, remember grandma’s words. Anyone who dares bully you must be looking for death!”
Song Lan nodded obediently. She resolutely agreed. “Yes grandma, it’s all because I wasn’t sensible enough. Grandma’s not a shady character, grandpa’s simply naive!”
Old master Sun, “…”
Black lines formed on his forehead, it appears that his son would be having a headache in the near future if this goes on.
