Top Soldier Pursued by a Beauty

Zhao Dong's eyes were filled with coldness, along with disdain and disgust for Song Yan. He supported Song Qingwan and said coldly to Song Yan, "If you were my sister and dared to act like this, I would beat you to death. You're worse than an animal."

Song Yan's face darkened. She retorted, "None of your damn business! Who the hell do you think you are, meddling in my family's affairs?"

Zhao Dong wanted to say more, but Song Qingwan tugged on his arm, her eyes brimming with tears. "Zhao Dong, just let it go."

Zhao Dong sighed softly. "I know you dote on your sister, but you're far too lenient with her. Has she ever once treated you like an older sister?"

Song Yan sneered, "I've never seen her as my sister! Why should someone as cold-blooded and ruthless as her be my sister?"

A sharp pain shot through Song Qingwan's heart. Hearing those words, her tears began to fall silently.

Zhao Dong roared suddenly, "Cold-blooded and ruthless? Song Yan, how dare you say such a thing?"

"If your sister were cold-blooded and ruthless, would you be able to live here? Would you be able to get an education? Could you dress up so nicely and go out looking presentable? In all these years, have you contributed a single cent to this family?"

Song Yan was struck speechless for a moment. Zhao Dong pressed on, "Furthermore, you call your sister cold-blooded because she didn't come back when your parents had their accident. But did you know she was overseas at the time? She booked the earliest flight back. Was it her fault she couldn't make it? Song Yan, what's going on in that head of yours? Has a dog eaten your conscience?"

Song Qingwan sobbed beside him. "Zhao Dong, please stop... I'm begging you, don't say any more."

Song Yan's lips trembled and her face was pale. She wanted to speak but didn't know what to say.

Zhao Dong sneered, "Go on, I'd like to see what excuse you have! Besides, your sister has supported you for so many years. All of your expenses, your entire life—what part of it wasn't your sister responsible for? Do you know why she never dated anyone? You were a big part of the reason!"

Song Yan trembled, her fists clenched tightly. Finally, she screamed hysterically, "Stop talking! Both of you, just shut up! Do you think I'm stupid? Don't think saying all this now will make me forgive you! Song Qingwan, I'm telling you, I will never forgive you!"

Zhao Dong bellowed, "Then get out! Get out of this house! If you've got any backbone, then stop making your sister worry about you! You curse her with one breath and enjoy her kindness with the next. You're nothing but a damn animal!"

"You—" Song Yan's vision went black with rage. "Zhao Dong! Are you insane? Who asked you to get involved? This is our family's business!"

"Worthless! Aren't you so tough? If you've got guts, then get out and never come back," Zhao Dong said coldly.

Song Yan laughed in fury. "Fine, fine, fine! The two of you playing good cop, bad cop, just to get me to leave, right? I'll go! I won't disturb your little world for two! Li Hao, let's go!"

Li Hao immediately grinned. "Alright, let's go. We have a place to stay anyway."

Song Qingwan cried out and rushed forward to grab Song Yan's arm, her voice choked with sobs. "Yan, listen to me. I'm doing this for your own good. I'm afraid these people will trick you..."

Song Yan shoved Song Qingwan away. "I don't need you meddling," she said coldly. "Anything is better than your hypocrisy."

Me... hypocritical?

Song Qingwan stood as if struck by lightning, staring blankly at Song Yan as tears streamed down her face.

"You animal!"

Without another word, Zhao Dong strode forward and slapped Song Yan across the face!

Song Yan shrieked. Her hair flew into disarray as she clutched her cheek, staring venomously at Zhao Dong. "You... you dare hit me?"

"I hit an animal that deserves it! This slap was for your sister. You need to be taught a lesson!"

"Li Hao, get him!" Song Yan screamed. "Beat this bastard to death for me!"

Li Hao, eager to show off for Song Yan, let out a roar and charged at Zhao Dong.

Zhao Dong lashed out with a kick. Li Hao was just an ordinary guy and was sent flying, landing in a pathetic heap outside the villa.

"Useless," Zhao Dong spat out coldly.

Song Yan was stunned. Didn't Li Hao study martial arts? How was he sent flying with a single kick?

"You wanted to leave, didn't you? Now, get lost," Zhao Dong said icily.

Song Yan bit her lip hard and shot a cold glare at Zhao Dong and Song Qingwan. "Goodbye!"

With that, she turned and left without a backward glance.

Song Qingwan started to run after her, but Zhao Dong grabbed her arm. She immediately burst into tears. "Zhao Dong, let go of me! Let go!"

Zhao Dong frowned. "Can you get a grip? Your sister has lost her mind! The kinder you are to her, the more she thinks you owe her! She's the type who won't learn until she hits a wall. She'll come back on her own!"

Song Qingwan was too weak to argue, collapsing into Zhao Dong's arms. Her sobs shook her body as her tears soaked his chest. "Zhao Dong, I feel so awful..."

Zhao Dong sighed softly, holding her and gently stroking her hair. "It's okay. Trust me. Once your sister suffers a little, she'll understand how much you've done for her."

"But..."

"No buts. Just listen to me."

Song Qingwan closed her eyes, letting the tears fall. After a long time, she let out a soft sigh. "I'm afraid she'll get cheated."

"If she's that gullible, she must have been tricked countless times already, so one more time won't make a difference. If she isn't that gullible, then she won't be tricked this time, either."

Song Qingwan gave Zhao Dong a strange look. Thinking about it, what he said actually made a lot of sense. She sighed softly again, stepped out of his embrace, and smoothed out her clothes. "I have to get to the company soon. There's an event today that I need to attend."

Zhao Dong smiled. "Go on and handle your business. Try to look on the bright side. I should get going, too."

Song Qingwan bit her lip and nodded gently, her gaze lingering on him. "Zhao Dong..."

"Hm?"

Song Qingwan hesitated, then lowered her head and said softly, "Can we... see each other more often in the future?"

Zhao Dong was taken aback for a moment, then laughed. "Aren't you afraid of the paparazzi?"

"Let them see. I've decided I want to have my own life... I... I really like the feeling of being with you."

Hearing this, Zhao Dong smiled slightly and gently pinched her nose. "Alright. I'll come find you whenever I'm free."

"Deal!"

Soon after, because Song Qingwan had an event to attend, Zhao Dong left as well.

Just as he walked away from Song Qingwan's villa, Zhao Dong received a call. He frowned at the unfamiliar number before answering. As soon as the call connected, a cool, pleasant voice came through.

"Hello, is this Zhao Dong?"

"Who is this?"

"This is Yun Keqing. Do you remember we agreed that you'd let me take a look at the Dragon Blood Stone in three days?"

Zhao Dong froze, only then remembering the young lady of the Yun Family.
