Chapter 190 Got You Now
Song Xiaodong squinted his eyes at Xiao Zhiming, his lips curling up into a faint smile that spread across his face.
Xiao Zhiming felt uneasy under Song Xiaodong’s gaze, but with his uncle absent and at the Xiao Family residence, how could he be afraid of Song Xiaodong? With a toss of his head and a cold snort, he said, "Don’t think that treating Yingying gives you any status in our Xiao Family. Even if you’ve made some money, you’re still a country bumpkin. Do you really think you’re fit to sit at the same table as me?"
Xiao Zhiming wanted to pursue Miao Qingqing, and the fact that Song Xiaodong had become Miao Qingqing’s boyfriend was something Xiao Zhiming couldn’t tolerate. His words were intended to make Song Xiaodong realize that he and Miao Qingqing were from the same social circle, while Song Xiaodong was completely out of their league. He wanted to crush Song Xiaodong and make him leave Miao Qingqing on his own accord.
Song Xiaodong’s expression darkened, his gaze sharp as a sword as he stared at Xiao Zhiming and said slowly, "Circles? Haha... The so-called circles are merely self-proclaimed by people like you. With the few people you’ve met, you dare talk to me about circles?"
Xiao Zhiming, unsettled by Song Xiaodong’s stare, involuntarily stepped back, snorting coldly, "Humph, such arrogance."
Song Xiaodong couldn’t be bothered with Xiao Zhiming, walking straight past him. As he brushed past, Song Xiaodong said indifferently, "Are you looking for an excuse to start a conflict with me? Let me remind you, if you unreasonably covet the Xiao Family’s wealth and do anything to me or Yingying, your death won’t be a pretty one."
These words stunned Xiao Zhiming, making his head spin. He had provoked Song Xiaodong with this very intention in mind, that even if he ended up killing Song Xiaodong, he could later claim it was a moment of impulse. Then, with Yingying dead due to lack of treatment, he could become the sole legitimate heir to Xiao Haiqing’s assets.
Yet, his thoughts were directly voiced by Song Xiaodong, throwing him into a panic. If this got back to Xiao Haiqing, everything he had could vanish into thin air.
"You... how did you know?" Xiao Zhiming whirled around, his voice trembling as he asked.
"If you don’t want others to know, don’t do it yourself. You think you’re clever, but not everyone else is a fool. Considering you’re Yingying’s cousin, I’ll spare you this time. But if you dare challenge me again, the consequences..." Song Xiaodong snorted coldly and walked away.
