Transmigrated as the Cannon Fodder Spouse of the Disabled Beauty - Chapter 24.2
To be honest, it was very difficult for her to be moved by a story that had nothing to do with her.
“Lulu probably knows that my mother isn’t the current Mrs. Song, but you probably don’t know the specific situation. Actually, my mother… wasn’t very good to me.” Song Yunran had never thought she would use her own mother to earn sympathy, but she did exactly that.
“To have a mother who loves you even if that mother has done some things wrong, the essence is still love. A mother like that…” she gave a low laugh, “I really envy her.”
Xu Luo: “…”
So Song Yunran was thinking about those things.
Xu Luo opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but didn’t know what would be appropriate.
She herself didn’t have a mother. Mermaids are born naturally from the sea, and the transmission of life is vastly different from other life forms. So she couldn’t genuinely envy someone for having a mother, nor could she truly empathize with the feelings of someone envying others for having a mother who loves them.
She thought for a moment and got out of bed.
She walked behind Song Yunran and clumsily pulled her into her arms, patting the other person’s back.
This was the only way she knew how to comfort her.
“Song Yunran—”
“Mm.”
“If you want to call me ‘Mom,’ I wouldn’t refuse to take you as my daughter.” Holding a thin beauty who inspired such pity, Xu Luo’s sentimentality was dialed up to the maximum.
Song Yunran: “…”
This person really seems to want to be my mother.
Song Yunran was silent for a moment, then opened her mouth and bit the arm that was holding her.
“Hiss!” Xu Luo yelped. “Song Yunran, why are you biting people?!”
Xu Luo didn’t want to take such a loss. On the spot, her “motherly love” soured. She bent down, opened her mouth wide, and took a bite out of the head of the person in her arms.
That night, Xu Luo unilaterally declared that the friendship between her and Song Yunran was broken. She was unwilling to get close to Song Yunran while sleeping. This sleep was separated by a clear “Chu-Han border.” Although the border dried up when they woke up the next morning, Xu Luo also forgot about the argument last night.
The two were leaving Green Island in the afternoon to return to the scorching City A. Xu Luo was reluctant. Taking advantage of the time remaining, she ran to the beach again.
This time, she hit it off with a child on the beach. One big and one small, they squatted on the sand, doodling randomly.
Song Yunran wasn’t as childish as her and watched her from a distance.
Zhong Yue arrived at this time. She hesitated as she approached Song Yunran, looking at her with an extremely complex expression.
She stood in front of Song Yunran, looking at her expectantly yet seemingly ashamed to speak.
Song Yunran ignored her, treating her as if she didn’t exist. Seeing a beautiful seashell in front of her, she prepared to pick it up.
This action gave Zhong Yue an opportunity to show off. She dashed forward and quickly picked up the seashell.
“Here!” Zhong Yue handed the shell to Song Yunran, offering a stiff, flattering smile.
Song Yunran didn’t take it and finally looked at her. This was the first time Song Yunran had looked at her properly since Zhong Yue arrived.
Seeing that her shell hadn’t been accepted, Zhong Yue’s expression became even more stiff. She unconsciously scratched her thigh she was also wearing swimwear today, a bikini that showed off her hot figure.
“You…”
Zhong Yue spoke cautiously, “You’re called Song Yunran, right? You’re very beautiful.”
Song Yunran tilted her head to look at her, unmoved by the compliment.
Seeing this, Zhong Yue was clearly anxious. Her exquisite long nails almost scratched through her leg.
Song Yunran suddenly smiled. This smile was like a spring breeze blowing past.
She proactively asked gently, “Is there something you need from me?”
Song Yunran’s face was so beautiful it was impactful. Zhong Yue was dazed and subconsciously replied, “I want to borrow some money from you!”
These words were more than just abrupt. They were just passing acquaintances; how could a normal person open their mouth for this?
But Zhong Yue spoke. She was suddenly burdened with heavy debt. Having nowhere else to go, she was deceived by Song Yunran’s gentle facade.
Ah, this person is so gentle.
If it’s her, she definitely won’t refuse any request for help!
This was the feeling in Zhong Yue’s heart. It was so strong that it even made her ignore the fact that the person in front of her was the partner of Xu Luo, whom she had framed.
“Miss Song, you know, the Li family is preparing to sue me and wants me to pay compensation. But I’m just a student; where would I get the money to pay?” Once she opened her mouth, the following words came much more smoothly. Zhong Yue played the victim. “I’ll pay you back. Starting tomorrow, I’ll go to work. Every cent I save, I’ll pay you back. I’ll do my best to repay the money. Can you help me?”
Song Yunran didn’t point out the other’s rudeness on the spot. She smiled and asked, “Why don’t you ask your parents? They are the ones who will never refuse you, aren’t they?”
Zhong Yue looked embarrassed. “My family isn’t that kind of wealthy family.”
Song Yunran said nothing.
Zhong Yue pleaded, “I beg of you, I really need your help.”
The gentleness Song Yunran had given her so far made her feel that her thoughts weren’t wrong. It made her believe firmly that the person in the wheelchair in front of her was a soft-hearted person.
Song Yunran thought for a few seconds and said, “How about this, classmate? Call your parents. If they can’t support you in paying the compensation demanded by the Li family, I’ll lend you the money.”
It worked!
Zhong Yue’s heart pounded violently. She was screaming inside it worked!
Her parents couldn’t possibly come up with such a large sum of money. This wealthy person would lend her money!
Suppressing the excitement in her heart, she used her phone to dial her mother’s number in front of Song Yunran.
As soon as it connected, before she could even speak, her mother was more anxious than she was, crying hysterically over the phone: “Yueyue, it’s over! Your dad and I have been framed! What should we do, what should we do…”
On the phone, Mother Zhong wailed, saying she and her husband had gone out to the park to enjoy the cool air last night and had an argument over a trivial matter.
They argued often, and every time they did, they would push and shove each other as if no one else was there. This time was the same, but things went wrong. This push hit an old man drinking tea, knocking the teacup out of his hand.
“That turned out to be an antique teacup!”
“What normal person drinks tea with an antique teacup in a park? We were set up!”
“God damn it, who on earth is plotting against us?!”
Mother Zhong was crying so hard she couldn’t catch her breath, cursing. Her choice of swear words overlapped 99% with Zhong Yue’s habits.
Her mother was still wailing, and Zhong Yue’s mind was blank.
What was going on?
She had broken an antique here, and her parents had broken one over there?
This…
“What’s wrong, classmate?” From a few steps away, Song Yunran asked with concern, “What did your parents say?”
Hearing the voice, Zhong Yue lowered her head and looked at Song Yunran. The latter gave her a smile.
a very gentle one.
Zhong Yue: “…”
She felt something strange in her heart and murmured, “My parents… seem to have run into trouble over there.”
Song Yunran comforted her, saying, “Were they set up? It’s okay. In one’s life, there are always times when you plot against others and times when you are plotted against.”
She smiled. “Did classmate Zhong forget? Didn’t you also plot against someone before?”
Zhong Yue: “!!!”
Her eyes widened, and she suddenly understood. “You were the one who set up my parents!”
Song Yunran acknowledged it with a silent smile. She had indeed had someone investigate Zhong Yue’s parents. That couple argued habitually, which made it easy for Song Yunran to arrange for someone to set them up.
Zhong Yue had plotted against Xu Luo at the villa. Xu Luo herself might not have taken it to heart, but Song Yunran was different. She wouldn’t allow anyone to treat Xu Luo like that.
Coming to her senses, Zhong Yue screamed and rushed forward, giving Song Yunran’s wheelchair a shove.
Xu Luo, who was playing in the sand with the child, caught a glimpse of this out of the corner of her eye. she sprinted over and gave Zhong Yue a flying kick to the back. The two scuffled, but Xu Luo was much better at fighting and quickly took Zhong Yue down.
She pinned the pleading Zhong Yue to the beach and crossly buried her in sand.
Of course, she didn’t actually bury her only her legs. Murder is illegal.
Having handled things on this side, she turned to look at Song Yunran and found that although the latter had fallen, she had already sat up and was neatly tidying her appearance. Seeing Xu Luo look at her, she smiled brightly and radiantly at Xu Luo.
Xu Luo: “…”
“What are you guys doing?” Xu Luo walked over. “Why did she push you?”
Song Yunran said, “I don’t know why she pushed me either.”
Xu Luo went to pick her up.
Song Yunran reached out her hands to cooperate with being held. However, just as she was about to place them on Xu Luo’s shoulders, she suddenly changed direction, reaching toward Xu Luo’s chest. Her fingers hooked slightly, and her index finger caught on the collar of Xu Luo’s shirt.
Her fingers were slender, with a light pink tint at the tips. They rested against the collar of Xu Luo’s silk shirt, then with a slight force, she pulled the collar down a bit.
Xu Luo: “…”
What are you doing?
She looked down at Song Yunran.
Song Yunran looked up to meet her gaze. After a long while, she wiped a spot near the pulled-back collar and smiled. “So much sand.”
