Chapter 409: Know yourself and know the enemy and you will never be in danger
Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoqiao looked at each other, but couldn't help feeling nervous.
Song Yuqing has changed her character? Hasn't she always been eyeing the two sisters? Her gentle attitude at this moment made the two feel a little weird.
Lin Ruoxue felt that the atmosphere was a little subtle. Although she was in a low mood, as an older sister, she maintained her proper etiquette, smiled faintly, and responded: "Long time no see, what a coincidence, we meet here."
Song Yuqing's smile remained the same, and even became more enthusiastic: "Since we are so destined to meet, why don't we go have a meal together? We can also take this opportunity to have a good chat."
It was this attitude that made Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoqiao feel more and more that something was wrong.
The two of them looked at each other again, alarm bells ringing in their hearts.
How could Song Yuqing be so kind? Could she be plotting something behind the scenes?
Lin Ruoxuan's eyes flashed with a hint of vigilance: "Thank you Miss Song for your kindness, but we sisters still have some things to do, so we won't go together."
Lin Ruoqiao also said in agreement: "Yes, it's getting late, let's have dinner together another day."
Song Yuqing did not get angry, and still smiled gently: "Okay, then we will make an appointment another day when it is convenient for you."
Song Yuqing's gentle attitude made Lin Ruoxuan feel more and more uneasy. She didn't say anything more, but gently pulled Lin Ruoxue's sleeve, signaling her to leave quickly.
Ruoxue also realized that the atmosphere was wrong, and nodded hurriedly. Then she and Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoqiao quickened their pace, and the three of them quickly left the sight of Song Yuqing and her sister.
Song Yuxin looked at Song Yuqing. She really couldn't understand why her sister would become so "gentle" overnight and even take the initiative to show goodwill to the Lin sisters.
She asked tentatively: "Big sister, your behavior today... is really unusual. Haven't you always been resentful of the Lin sisters? Why do you suddenly want to make friends with them?"
When Song Yuqing heard this, he gave a strange smile.
She smiled softly, her tone heavy with a hint of disdain: "Do you think I really want to be good sisters with them? The Lin sisters put me in jail and made me a laughing stock in the capital. How could I not pay for this? But if I act rashly, I will only bring shame upon myself."
Song Yuxin frowned and said in a low voice, "But sister, it's been so long since it happened, and father also said not to mess with Miss Lin, so isn't it time to let it go?"
Song Yuqing's face turned cold instantly, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.
She slammed the table and said in a cold voice, "Let it go? They ruined my reputation and made me a laughing stock among the noble ladies in the capital. Everyone pointed fingers at me behind my back. Everything I had was trampled on by them! Do you think I can let it go? I will not be a human being if I don't take revenge!"
Song Yuxin was startled by Song Yuqing's sudden anger. She pleaded, "Big sister, I'm just worried about you... Revenge is dangerous, especially for the Lin sisters. They have a special status now and have the support of the Gu family behind them."
Song Yuqing narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. I am not a foolish mantis trying to stop a chariot. I don't want reckless revenge."
"That's why I have to get close to them, understand their preferences, and find their weaknesses, so that I can destroy them fundamentally. The more they let down their guard against me, the more I can defeat them quietly."
As Song Yuxin listened to these words, a chill gradually rose in her heart.
She suddenly felt that the sister in front of her became strange and scary, as if she was no longer the Song Yuqing she was familiar with.
She couldn't help but whispered, "Big sister, is it really worth it? You are now immersed in hatred and have lost your original self. Will revenge on the Lin family really make you feel better?"
Song Yuqing's eyes suddenly turned cold, staring at Song Yuxin, his tone as sharp as a knife: "Do you think I care about these? As long as I can see them in pain, I am willing to do anything. Besides, this is not only for myself, but also for the future of the Song family! As long as the Lin family collapses, the Song family can regain its foothold in the capital."
Song Yuxin shook her head, feeling a little sad, and didn't know what to say.
After Lin Ruoxuan left, seeing that it was almost time, she called Lin Ruoxue and Lin Ruoqiao to go down the mountain to eat.
When the three of them arrived at the private room, there was only one left, so it was given to them.
Lin Ruoqiao occasionally looked up at the scenery outside the window and was in a particularly good mood.
Lin Ruoxuan was picking up a piece of food when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Come in." Lin Ruoxue responded gently.
When the door opened, it turned out to be Song Zhennan and his good friend Zhang Mo standing at the door.
Song Zhennan showed an embarrassed smile on his face, and explained a little embarrassedly: "Miss Lin, sorry to bother you. We came a little late, and there are no seats left in the restaurant. I would like to ask if we can share a table?"
Lin Ruoxuan's eyes turned cold, and her tone was crisp and direct: "Why would we share a table with someone we don't know?"
As soon as the words came out, the private room fell silent for a moment.
Lin Ruoqiao glanced at Song Zhennan, then lowered her head and continued to pick up food without much reaction.
Song Zhennan and Zhang Mo looked at each other, somewhat surprised by Lin Ruoxuan's words.
At this time, Lin Ruoxue laughed and joked, "Hey, Ruoxuan, stop joking. Young Master Song and Young Master Zhang are both acquaintances, how can we not let them share the table?"
She glanced at Lin Ruoqiao with a hint of temptation in her eyes.
Lin Ruoxuan snorted in her heart, knowing that Lin Ruoxue was worrying about Lin Ruoqiao and Song Zhennan again.
But for the sake of her elder sister, she didn't continue to make things difficult for him. She shrugged lightly and said, "Okay, whatever."
Song Zhennan breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly walked in with Zhang Mo, bowing and thanking: "Thank you Miss Lin for your tolerance."
"Don't thank me, thank big sister." Lin Ruoxuan's tone was still indifferent.
After Song Zhennan sat down, he glanced at Lin Ruoqiao secretly.
Lin Ruoqiao's face didn't show much expression, but he didn't back down either. He tentatively said, "It's fate that I can sit at the same table with you girls today. When we came here, we didn't expect this restaurant to be so popular that there were no seats left."
Zhang Mo also agreed, "That's true. I didn't expect the business in Beijing to be so popular."
Lin Ruoxue responded with a smile and opened the topic: "Indeed, the food in this restaurant is good and the environment is good. No wonder the business is so prosperous. If the Song family can open a restaurant like this, the business will definitely be very good."
After the meal, the atmosphere gradually became relaxed.
Song Zhennan and Zhang Mo were a little reserved at first, but under Lin Ruoxue's guidance, they gradually relaxed and the topic shifted from business to their respective experiences and interesting stories.
