Chapter 274 Original Sin 83
But before Shuangshuang could speak, Song Chengdong sipped his tea and said quietly, "You want to find out who harmed your mother, don’t you?" Though posed as a question, his tone was definitive.
Song Chengdong’s words startled Shuangshuang, making her heart skip a beat! She abruptly looked at the man enjoying his tea opposite her, frowning involuntarily!
How did Song Chengdong know what she was thinking? There was only one reason: he had investigated her, her background! But why would Song Chengdong investigate her? Was he worried she harbored ill intentions? Yet she had saved his grandson’s life!
At the time, she was completely unaware of Song Zhijun’s identity and background! She only thought about saving a life! Though after learning about Song Zhijun’s background, Shuangshuang did consider the Song Family a gold medal of sorts, she never planned to take undue advantage, just using her lifesaving deed to earn a future favor!
Shuangshuang couldn’t help feeling a bit angry, her gaze towards Song Chengdong changed. Knowing he could find out her mother Feng Jinyan was harmed, it was certain he had a crystal-clear understanding of her background, which particularly infuriated her!
If there’s one thing Shuangshuang minds the most, it’s undoubtedly her background! Her background caused her immense suffering in her previous life, and even now, this issue still left deep marks in her heart, making her feel inferior and sensitive.
Whether it was Song Chengdong’s actions themselves or his knowledge of her background, both pricked Shuangshuang’s extremely sensitive pride, inflicted by her inferiority, wiping out any goodwill she had for Song Chengdong!
Shuangshuang’s expression kept shifting, her eyes blazing with anger as she looked at Song Chengdong disapprovingly! Even the man behind Song Chengdong couldn’t help but tense his muscles, stepping forward to stand by Song Chengdong’s side.
Song Chengdong, however, didn’t react much. He saw through Shuangshuang’s thoughts at a glance, but he wasn’t in a hurry to explain. Instead, he gently swirled his teacup, took a sip, then smiled and said, "Girl, there’s no need for you to be so angry. I really didn’t mean any harm in investigating you. After you saved my grandson, I thought I should repay you properly. But I didn’t know what you needed, so I thought to have someone find out what you do, what you lack, so I’d have a direction to repay you. As a result, my subordinates misunderstood my intentions and thought I wanted to know all your detailed information, which led to such a comprehensive investigation!"
As Song Chengdong spoke, his eyes towards Shuangshuang were already full of admiration. "Girl, I understand why you’re angry, but you really don’t need to mind your background at all! Because in the eyes of someone like me, you’re truly exceptional! Your background may not be great, but your character, your experiences, and even your heart, few can match you! You’re not inferior to anyone, on the contrary, you’re superior to many!"
Song Chengdong’s words were absolutely sincere. He still remembered his shock upon seeing Shuangshuang’s records. A child, at such a young age in such an environment, not only wasn’t influenced to become cold and unfeeling by her family, but turned into a filial and kind-hearted person, which was truly rare.
A child so young, working tirelessly daybreak to nightfall to make money, doing work even adults in her family found bitter and tiring, then escaping with a mentally unstable mother from that small village!
Such a mother and daughter, how much suffering must they have endured on their journey? Song Chengdong simply couldn’t imagine! Yet this girl, faced with numerous hardships, wasn’t knocked down but became even more outstanding!
