C269 Past Grudges
Although the servants of Soong Family Main Hall saw that Ye Faang did not have any background, she was actually the godmother of "Soong Shiyan", and could be considered to have quite the background. Therefore, they didn't dare to delay any further. They were afraid that Ye Faang would expel them just like she did the other security guards. The group of people increased their speed and quickly cleaned up the house that Soong Qigang stayed in previously.
When Ye Faang arrived at the mansion, she inspected it arrogantly as if she was a leader inspecting her surroundings. Although the decorations of the house had changed, the structure of the house hadn't changed at all, which gave Ye Faang a sense of familiarity.
Looking at the unfamiliar yet familiar house in front of her, Ye Faang was so excited that she was practically dancing with joy. She pulled the rose out of the vase, tore off the petals, and threw them into the air. Then, she picked up the pillow on the sofa and recklessly threw it to the side. Looking at the somewhat messy floor, she laughed in a complacent manner.
The servant looked at the rose petals and pillow scattered on the ground with some dissatisfaction. They had spent so much effort to clean up the mansion, but this Ye Faang had only entered the mansion for less than five minutes and had already messed up the living room. It really made people worry. However, although the servants were dissatisfied, no one dared to say anything.
Ye Faang ran upstairs with a thump thump. With her vague memories, she came to the bedroom where Soong Qigang used to stay. She touched the wall and walked all the way to the French window.
Standing in front of the French window and looking at the exquisite fountain and the dark green grass below, Ye Faang couldn't help but recall the past grudges she had with Soong Qigang and Jing Lanzhi …
In those days, Ye Faang was often beaten up by the family that had bought her, and she worked non-stop like an animal. She had had enough of this life, so she lobbied Jing Lanzhi, and the two of them fled from the mountains and took a detour to the bustling city of A.
She and Jing Lanzhi didn't have any academic background, and they didn't have much skill, so when they first arrived in A City, they had to struggle to get a job as a cleaning staff at a hotel. Although they couldn't make much money in a month, it was enough for them to survive in this strange city.
However, when Ye Faang saw the women who had accompanied the middle-aged man to the hotel for the night, her mood changed. These women would only be able to stay with men for a night and get a month or even several months of salary. Moreover, these women didn't have to work at all. They just needed to dress up beautifully, and that was enough.
Ye Faang's heart started beating faster after seeing so many women like this. She also wanted to be like these women. They didn't have to work or worry about their livelihood, but they could still live a carefree and carefree life.
So Ye Faang began lobbying Jing Lanzhi to go with her and quit her hotel job to try her luck at a bar or a nightclub. However, Jing Lanzhi's view of things was very positive, so she didn't agree with Ye Faang's suggestion. Instead, she had a grudge with Ye Faang over this matter.
Angry, Ye Faang parted ways with Jing Lanzhi. She immediately quit her job and walked far away. She started to enter and exit bars and nightclubs and other brightly lit places, and she also started to become like those women. She didn't need to work, she only needed to dress herself beautifully and sit in bars and nightclubs, and naturally, men would take the initiative to come up and talk about "business" with her.
When Ye Faang had a little money, she began to despise Jing Lanzhi, thinking that she might as well work hard for a month and earn more in one night. Then Ye Faang's "business" got bigger and bigger and her life got better and better, and she couldn't remember Jing Lanzhi at all. Thus, in the next few years, Ye Faang never contacted Jing Lanzhi again. She didn't even contact her on her own accord.
However, things always went beyond her expectations.
Suddenly one day, she inadvertently saw Jing Lanzhi's news on TV. After a quick glance, she thought Jing Lanzhi had done something, but when she looked carefully, she found out that the news said that the CEO of Soong's Group, Soong Qigang, would be married soon, and the person he would be married to, was not a famous celebrity or entertainer, but an unknown hotel cleaner.
All of a sudden, the news about Jing Lanzhi on TV and on the news spread like wildfire. A wave of "Cinderella" spread through the entire city, and Jing Lanzhi became synonymous with "Cinderella", becoming the envy of thousands of girls. That year, Jing Lanzhi was only 21 years old, and it could be said that she had reached the pinnacle of her life.
After finding out that Jing Lanzhi was about to marry into the Wealthy Class, Ye Faang was so jealous that she was about to go crazy. Especially when she found out from the television interview program that Jing Lanzhi was in the hotel where she worked and met Soong Qigang, the CEO with billions of yuan, Ye Faang nearly vomited blood in her heart.
Ye Faang thought she was ridiculous. Previously, she had mocked Jing Lanzhi for being 'dumb', but now, Jing Lanzhi had relied on this stupidity to successfully become a rich lady from a cleaning staff. Reality had given her a resounding slap on the face, making her dizzy.
From that day on, Ye Faang regretted leaving the hotel where she worked. That was because Ye Faang thought that her looks were more exquisite and beautiful than Jing Lanzhi's. Since Soong Qigang liked an ordinary woman like Jing Lanzhi, then, if the person Soong Qigang met in the hotel at that time was himself, then he would have fallen in love with him.
Ye Faang was able to bear the loss of her title as the wife of the Wealthy Class at the beginning, and didn't want to think about Jing Lanzhi and Soong Qigang. So she worked harder and harder, hanging around several hotels every night, getting drunk and dreaming.
However, at that time, the news of Jing Lanzhi marrying into the Wealthy Class spread through the streets. She was practically everywhere on television and in the newspapers. Her story about Cinderella was also very well-known, and people would often discuss about it. Therefore, as long as Ye Faang turned on the TV or went out, she would inevitably hear some glorious stories about Jing Lanzhi.
As time passed, Ye Faang's feelings for Jing Lanzhi were reduced to endless jealousy and hatred. Seeing Jing Lanzhi's face brimming with happiness and happiness, looking at how incredibly beautiful she was after dressing up, looking at Jing Lanzhi's extremely luxurious and grand residence, and watching Jing Lanzhi wearing luxurious and gorgeous clothes every time she appeared under the camera, Ye Faang couldn't help but think of her miserable life.
She lived in a run-down rented house. The sunlight did not reach her during the day, so the air was always filled with a damp and musty smell. Sometimes, moss or mushrooms even grew on the wooden door frame. She wore cheap stalls, cheap perfume, cheap earrings, and cheap cosmetics.
Everything she had, everything she had, if there was one word to describe it, was "cheap!" As for Jing Lanzhi's adjective, Ye Faang could not think of any other word to describe it. Perhaps, many words were needed to describe Jing Lanzhi's life.
In her fury and madness, Ye Faang secretly made a decision — she would make Jing Lanzhi lose everything in one night and once again live a life of nothing. Eventually, under the ridicule and ridicule of the masses, she would end her own life. She, on the other hand, was going to become a rich and well-dressed wife like Jing Lanzhi, who couldn't help but be envious of her for having nothing at all.
If she wanted to achieve both of these goals at the same time, there was only one way — to make Soong Qigang fall in love with her, and for her sake, ruthlessly abandon Jing Lanzhi, the original wife!
Once she had a plan in her heart, Ye Faang cut off all contact with the men she knew in the past and went to Soong Family Hall with an ambitious heart. It was only after experiencing hardships and having grinded her lips that she was finally able to enter Soong Family Great House. Looking at the grand and imposing Soong Family house, Ye Faang made up her mind even more — — She wanted Soong Qigang, she wanted this Soong Family house!
Ye Faang knew that Jing Lanzhi didn't like women who traded their bodies for money. Therefore, she didn't tell Jing Lanzhi what she had done after they separated. She only said that she didn't want to be caught in the shadows by her superior, so she lost the job she had found with great difficulty. Then, she was cheated out of several years of savings by her trusted lover, and now she was penniless. In desperation, this was why she came to Jing Lanzhi, this friend, brazenly, hoping that Jing Lanzhi would give her a job at Soong Family Manor. It didn't matter if she had more money or less, as long as she had enough to eat and a place to live.
Although they had parted on bad terms because of Ye Faang's so-called "job," Jing Lanzhi was a very kind woman. She couldn't bear to see her former friend in such a sorry state. Thus, Jing Lanzhi naturally agreed to Ye Faang's request, and allowed Ye Faang to enter Soong Family Main Hall. She helped her manage the household's servants, taking care of the household's various small and large matters.
It was also because of this that Ye Faang had the opportunity to get close to Soong Qigang. Every day, she would appear beside Soong Qigang, pretending to play around with him, flirting with him. However, Soong Qigang didn't like women like Ye Faang who had an air of elegance at all. Most importantly, he truly loved Jing Lanzhi and didn't want any conflict between him and other women. And Ye Faang, after all, was still in Soong Family Great House, so she didn't dare to openly fight with Jing Lanzhi for the man. Thus, she could only side with Soong Qigang to show her goodwill, but what she got in return was Soong Qigang's disregard, or even rolling his eyes.
Ye Faang was quite amazing. Soong Qigang never had a bad opinion of women, but Ye Faang was the first woman who made Soong Qigang feel disgusted — because Soong Qigang always felt that Ye Faang had a bit of rouge on her body, and always used Jing Lanzhi's connivance to put on airs in Soong Family House, which caused many servants to be dissatisfied. Most importantly, after getting along with Ye Faang, Soong Qigang felt that Ye Faang's heart was a little dark and she seemed to have some enmity towards the woman she loved.2
Soong Qigang felt that Ye Faang was harboring malicious intentions towards him, but he didn't intend to tell this to Jing Lanzhi to prevent her from feeling sad due to her friend's betrayal. So, he had once told Jing Lanzhi in private that he was willing to help Ye Faang do some small business outside, and hoped that she would be able to let Ye Faang leave Soong Family Big House, and their love nest.
Ye Faang had unintentionally overheard the conversation between Soong Qigang and Jing Lanzhi. In her heart, she was angry and dissatisfied at the same time. However, she had just entered Soong Family Manor with great difficulty, so how could she leave so easily? Therefore, when Jing Lanzhi kindly told her that she wanted to help her with her business, Ye Faang rejected Jing Lanzhi's good intentions on the pretext that she didn't have the talent to do business.
Jing Lanzhi did not know about the inner workings of the matter. Seeing that Ye Faang did not have any intentions to do business, she did not persuade Ye Faang to go do business and let her stay at Soong Family Hall. However, Ye Faang knew her own limits. Other than entering Soong Family Hall, she had never asked Jing Lanzhi for help.
Ye Faang saw that Soong Qigang had intentionally kept away from her, so she knew that it was impossible for her to get Soong Qigang or make Jing Lanzhi lose everything. However, Ye Faang naturally wouldn't give up. Even if she couldn't make Jing Lanzhi lose everything, she had to become rich! Thus, Ye Faang stayed in the Soong Family Palace all this time, restrained her actions, and no longer expressed any goodwill towards Soong Qigang.
Half a year later, when Jing Lanzhi became pregnant, Soong Qigang was elated and spent hundreds of millions to buy an island for Jing Lanzhi. Ye Faang became jealous upon learning the news. However, she also knew that her chance had finally come — since the time Jing Lanzhi became pregnant, her pregnancy reaction had been too severe and her condition wasn't too good. Therefore, she and Soong Qigang had always slept in separate rooms.
One night, Ye Faang drugged Soong Qigang's meals. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around in the middle of the night, she sneakily climbed into Soong Qigang's bed. Unconsciously, Soong Qigang spent the night with Ye Faang. Ye Faang even took the opportunity to record a video with her camera for future use.
The next morning, when Soong Qigang regained his consciousness, Ye Faang used the fact that they spent the night together as a bargaining chip and asked Soong Qigang to give her three hundred million.
Soong Qigang, who knew what had happened, was furious. It wasn't just because Ye Faang had asked for three hundred million from him. More importantly, Ye Faang actually dared to drugged him, causing him to spend the night with her in a daze, and causing him to betray the promise he made to Jing Lanzhi. Therefore, Soong Qigang did not agree to Ye Faang's request due to his anger.
Ye Faang threatened to tell Jing Lanzhi about this, letting Jing Lanzhi know that the man she loved had gone to bed with her friend.
However, she did not succeed, because Soong Qigang sent his bodyguard to throw her out of A City before her. He also warned her not to show up in front of Jing Lanzhi, otherwise, he would not forgive her.
Of course, Soong Qigang did not dare to tell Jing Lanzhi the truth about Ye Faang leaving Soong Family Manor. He only said that Ye Faang had left without a word.
Ye Faang could be said to be short on money. She was unwilling in her heart, but there was nothing she could do. Soong Family Manor was so big, and with bodyguards monitoring it all the time, it was impossible for her to enter. Furthermore, Soong Qigang was very quick. He changed all of Jing Lanzhi's contact information, making it impossible for her to contact Jing Lanzhi at all.
At this moment, Ye Faang discovered that she was pregnant. She knew that if Soong Qigang knew about this, the child in her womb would not have a chance to be born. Therefore, during this period of time, Ye Faang didn't go find Soong Qigang, but instead hid in silence, observing the situation of Soong Family Big House while nurturing the baby.
After a few months, Jing Lanzhi was about to give birth. After nine months of confinement in Soong Family Great House, Jing Lanzhi finally left Soong Family Great House for the first time to go to the best maternity hospital in A city. Ye Faang, who was six to seven months pregnant, had a big belly and secretly went to the hospital.
Jing Lanzhi's production did not go well, and in the end she had to undergo caesarean section. After giving birth to Soong Shiyan, Jing Lanzhi was still lying on the sickbed with Soong Qigang accompanying her. However, he suddenly received a call, saying that there was a problem with Soong's Group, so Soong Qigang could only hurry over to resolve it. Ye Faang took this opportunity to enter Jing Lanzhi's room.
In the ward, Ye Faang told Jing Lanzhi about her and Soong Qigang's overnight. She also told Jing Lanzhi that the child in her womb belonged to Soong Qigang.
Jing Lanzhi didn't believe that Soong Qigang and Ye Faang would get together, so Ye Faang showed the video she had taken earlier to Jing Lanzhi. With such ironclad evidence, Jing Lanzhi had no choice but to believe Ye Faang's words.
Seeing that Jing Lanzhi had already believed her words, Ye Faang continued to speak. The reason she left Soong Family House without saying a word was because Soong Qigang had already bought a high-class apartment for her, so she could peacefully nurture her baby.
Jing Lanzhi, who had just given birth to her child, was not in good health. Now, she had suffered such a great shock from Ye Faang, which resulted in a massive postpartum hemorrhage. In the advanced ward, only Ye Faang and Jing Lanzhi were left. Seeing Jing Lanzhi's bleeding, Ye Faang didn't press the emergency button, nor did she go to find a doctor. She helplessly watched as a large amount of blood continuously flowed out from Jing Lanzhi's body.
Jing Lanzhi died due to severe bleeding. Although the surveillance wasn't widespread in that era, Soong Qigang still found out that this matter was related to Ye Faang. However, Ye Faang was smart at this moment; she had been hiding away and didn't go find Soong Qigang. She didn't go to Soong Qigang with the child in her arms until she gave birth to it. Soong Qigang even had the urge to kill her, but if it wasn't for the fact that he only had a sliver of rationality left, Ye Faang would probably have already died.
Soong Qigang didn't care about the girl that Ye Faang gave birth to. If he didn't know that Ye Faang was pregnant, he definitely wouldn't have let Ye Faang have a chance to give birth to this child. He had originally planned to charge Ye Faang with intentional murder, but since there were no surveillance cameras in the ward, there wasn't enough evidence. Most importantly, Jing Lanzhi's death was due to severe postpartum hemorrhage. Even if Ye Faang was angered, the judge would not be able to find out about it. Therefore, even though Soong Qigang was furious, he could only let Ye Faang get away scot-free.
This time, he had thoroughly chased Ye Faang out of A City. Before he left, he told Ye Faang that once she stepped into A City's land again, this time, he would definitely make Ye Faang pay the price for everything she had done. Perhaps, he might really let Ye Faang die!
Seeing that Soong Qigang really wanted to kill her, Ye Faang no longer dared to put on an act. In those years, she had stayed out of the country and continued to live her life of debauchery until she met the old wealthy businessman and followed him out of the country.
