Chapter 64 - 64: 64: Song Zhizhi’s Intentional Provocation

Translator: 549690339

There was a moment of silence in the living room.

Nie Wenzhi did not immediately respond to her. Song Zhizhi was not impatient, but asked clearly, “Auntie, where is Xiaofei?”

“Xiaofei is resting in her room. She has suffered a lot recently, so she has been recuperating. I’m afraid you…”

“I’ll go find her.” Song Zhizhi did not wait for Nie Wenzhi to finish speaking, and headed directly for the backyard.

Nie Wenzhi looked at Song Zhizhi’s retreating figure, feeling a bit uneasy.

She was still worried about Nie Xiaofei. Despite the many years of nurturing and learning, Xiaofei was still too naive, and she was afraid that Xiaofei might say something wrong or show signs of guilt.

With these thoughts, Nie Wenzhi thought of getting up to check on them.

Qin Ciling called out to her, “Don’t follow her. It’s about time for Zhizhi to apologize to Xiaofei. Your presence will affect their conversation.”

Seeing Qin Ciling speaking up, Nie Wenzhi could only smile and nod reluctantly.

Luo Xiaolang obediently waited in the living room for Song Zhizhi.

At this moment, Song Zhizhi had already reached the door of Nie Xiaofei’s room, and she knocked.

Nie Xiaofei, who didn’t know it was Song Zhizhi, was in her pajamas, holding her cell phone, and was cheerfully looking at something. As soon as she opened the door and saw Song Zhizhi, her expression changed. She asked nervously, “Sis, why are you back?”

There was a slight curl to Song Zhizhi’s lips, “Auntie asked me to come back, saying it’S for penance.”

“Oh,” Nie Xiaofei nodded.

“After all these things happened, I think we sisters need to have a good talk” Song Zhizhi said and entered the room without waiting for Nie Xiaofei’s consent.

Nie Xiaofei felt a pang of uneasiness.

She really had no idea what Song Zhizhi was up to and it was clear this whole thing was a frame-up, she felt rather insecure about it.

Seeing that her mother was not around, she had no choice but to follow Song Zhizhi back to her room.

Song Zhizhi took the initiative to say, “Xiaofei, I don’t want to talk about the accident today. We both have our own versions of the story, and we can only wait for the court’s decision.”

Nie Xiaofei was taken aback.

She had thought that Song Zhizhi had come to question her.

She stared at Song Zhizhi with confusion, not understanding what she was up to.

Song Zhizhi said, “You’ve been living with us, the Song family, for so many years. Have you been happy living with your mother?”

Nie Xiaofei quickly replied, “I’ve been very happy. Uncle and you have both treated me very well. I believe sister wouldn’t have harmed me if it wasn’t for some family interests.” Nie Xiaofei still playing the innocent.

Song Zhizhi smiled, a perplexing smile that sent shivers down Nie Xiaofei’s spine.

“Xiaofei, you’ve been obedient and sensible all these years, never going against your mother’s wishes. Looking back, are you really happy and satisfied with such a life? The situation is clear to everyone now. I am about to go to prison, and I don’t have time to stir anything up. I just felt that you have been too submissive in your life. I even feel that your mother… kind of neglects you. Has she ever cared about your feelings? Or did she only let you live according to her demands?”

“Everything Mom has done is for my benefit. Without her, I wouldn’t be living the life of luxury I have now.” Nie Xiaofei defending Nie Wenzhi vigorously.

Nie Wenzhi’s greatest talent was winning people’s hearts.

Song Zhizhi knew that it was fruitless to say more. Her purpose for today was just to lay a slight foundation for what she was planning to do next.

She said, “Since that’s how you feel, I won’t say more.”

Nie Xiaofei stared at Song Zhizhi, clueless about what Song Zhizhi was planning.

Song Zhizhi smiled, stood up and said, “I hope you don’t mention what I told you today to your mother. Of course, if you think there’s nothing wrong with it, you can tell her.”

Song Zhizhi left Nie Xiaofei’s room after leaving that remark.

Nie Xiaofei was left in utter confusion by Song Zhizhi.

Song Zhizhi returned to the living room after leaving Nie Xiaofei’s room.

Nie Wenzhi looked at her, scrutinizing.

She was probably guessing what Song Zhizhi had gone to Xiaofei for.

Song Zhizhi ignored Xifeng, speaking to Qin Ciling instead, “Grandma, I’ll go first. I won’t eat at today’s penance dinner. It’S not too late to wait for the verdict of the second trial.”

“Song Zhizhi!” Qin Ciling reprimanded, probably thinking that she was ungrateful and insatiable, even after everything Nie Wenzhi had done for her!

Song Zhizhi left with Luo Xiaolang directly.

Qin Ciling was so angry that her face turned red.

Nie Wenzhi quickly said, “Mom, don’t get angry. It’s my fault. Zhizhi must have had her pride and I didn’t consider her feelings. I was inconsiderate.”

“This ungrateful child! She needs to be taught a lesson, or she’ll become even more arrogant!”

Again, Nie Wenzhi was full of reassuring and comforting words, maintaining her facade of being a good person.

After soothing Qin Ciling and ensuring she had returned to her room, Nie Wenzhi immediately went to Nie Xiaofei’s room, “What did Song Zhizhi say to you?”

Nie Xiaofei was about to blurt out the truth, but she paused.

For some reason, Song Zhizhi’s parting words resounded in her ears, she answered, “Nothing much. She just said that she might get sentenced at the second trial, and asked me to plead for her to the judge.”

“Really?” Nie Wenzhi didn’t believe that the current Song Zhizhi would easily admit defeat.

“Hmm,” Nie Xiaofei nodded.

Nie Wenzhi wouldn’t doubt Xiaofei. She had brought up Xiaofei and had always been obedient to her.

She said, “Then so be it. The trial is the day after tomorrow. You remember everything I’ve taught you, right?”

“Hmm.”

“Good. Continue with your rest.” Nie Wenzhi turned and prepared to leave.

“Mom…” Nie Xiaofei suddenly called out to her.

Nie Wenzhi frowned, “Is there anything else?”

“Do I have to do everything according to your words?” Nie Xiaofei asked, clenching her teeth.

“What are you trying to say!” Nie Wenzhi’s face darkened, “Whatever I asked you to do, wasn’t it for your own good!”

“Really?”

“Stop overthinking things. Everything will be okay once Zhizhi is sentenced after the trial.”

“Yes.” Nie Xiaofei nodded.

“Didn’t you want to buy a necklace? After it’s over, I’ll take you to buy it.” Nie Wenzhi handed her a sweet.

Nie Xiaofei smiled.

Not very passionately.

But maybe… every time, only after satisfying her mother’s demands does she get a shred of pity and charity from her mother..
