Wang Lan stepped back incredulously, "What did you say?"
Song Ling looked at her coldly, "I know you heard me."
Wang Lan pinched herself hard, trying to grasp the situation, "If it wasn't the old master and Gu Dai who asked you to go, then did you go back to the Song residence to seek out Gu Dai on your own?"
With her money cut off and nothing left to lose, she continued provocatively, "Have you fallen for Gu Dai, chasing after her? Sheng Xin is clearly the better choice; why don't you like her instead..."
Song Ling interrupted coldly, "I've never liked Sheng Xin. Don't mention her in front of me again, or you'll regret it."
Wang Lan scoffed, "I'm your mother. How could you make me regret it?"
Song Ling replied, "You could try me."
Frightened, Wang Lan trembled all the way home, still unable to shake off the encounter.
Song Yu, rubbing her eyes, hugged Wang Lan, "Mom."
