Chapter 548 The Lady In Red

Fu Rong glared at Fu Yu Shen and aggrievedly complained to Song Yan with her eyes shining with glittering tears. " Second sister in law, I was the one who worked hard to look for a gift for you and third brother crossed me, this is not right! I was the one who worked the hardest, I should be the one who should be gifting you these gifts first and not third brother!"

" Why, why, why ?" Fu Yu Shen turned to look at Fu Rong with his eyes glaring at his sister. " I admit that I found out about the auction when you were talking to your friend but I paid for this tortoise with my own money, I drove to the auction and did not ask you to bring me these gifts, and it is your fault that you went to have dinner with your friends. It's your fault, you should have come back straight home if you wanted to be the first one to gift second sister in law. I am not at fault here!"

Fu Rong looked at her third brother who was scolding her and then realised the meaning of the thief scolding the police. She was the one who worked so hard for getting the tickets for this auction, Fu Yu Shen also took one from her after telling her a sob story about how he wanted to buy something to ward off his misfortune and yet her third brother was now scolding her like this.

" Third brother you are really too much," Fu Rong scolded Fu Yu Shen, she knew that there was no point in crying over the milk that has been spilt already. She sat down on the couch right next to Fu Yu Sheng before crossing her arms as she glared at her brother who was sitting on the other couch. " You really went around and backstabbed your own sister? Have you forgotten that we once played together as kids? How can you do something like this? Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

" No, it doesn't because I did not do anything wrong." Fu Yu Shen did not feel that he was wrong at all, he too wanted to gift something to Song Yan for her help but could not find anything.  It was true that he picked up the information from Fu Rong's phone call but other than that he did not take advantage of Fu Rong at all and as her big brother, he could use his little sister just this much too, right?

" Fine, I was the one who was in the wrong because I trusted you, see if I trust you again in this entire life ever again," Fu Rong stated with an added glare at Fu Yu Shen before she turned to look at Song Yan with a playful smile and said, " I have bought these orchids and lilies for you, second sister in law. I got these specifically from Master Gu, he said that these were the most wonderful orchids when it comes to summoning spiritual energy and it will come as a wonderful thing for you as well because then you wouldn't have to worry about losing your spiritual energy, he said that this one was even greater than the tortoise, while you are meditating these will come in handy." She added with a proactive look at Fu Yu Shen who gritted his teeth in anger.

However as Fu Rong turned to look at Song Yan who was looking at her with both surprise and a bit of lost expression on her face, Fu Rong's smile fell from her lips as she carefully stared at Song Yan's expression and tentatively asked, " Second sister in law, is everything all right? Why are you looking at us like that? You don't like the gifts. Did we buy something useless for you?"

" No, that's not it," Song Yan snapped out of her daze as she looked at the gifts that she has received from Fu Rong and Fu Yu Shen. In her past life, she received nothing but scoldings from these two kids, to them, she was like a waste of space and they treated her as such. Even when she was helping them, she only did it because of the goodness of her heart and nothing more, never did she once expect that these kids who were so foolish in their past lives would grow up so much that they will bring gifts for her.

" I like them," she smiled as she looked at the gifts that she has received from Fu Rong and Fu Yu Shen. With a slight raise of her head, she looked at the two of them and curled her lips even more, " I am really happy thank you."

When Fu Rong and Fu Yu Shen heard Song Yan thank them, they did not know why but they suddenly felt rather touched. Maybe it was because Song Yan was thanking them with all her heart, which was why they felt rather touched upon listening to her thank you.

Song Yan looked at the tortoise and orchids that were placed in front of her and her smile widened even more. Maybe she will be able to have a happy ending this time.

....

Snip.

The sound of scissors snapping echoed in the silence as long, red nails stretched in front of a dark shadow and picked up the rose that has fallen from the bush onto the small table on which the vase with the rose was sitting. The long nails pinched the red rose but as soon as those nails touched the red rose, it slowly curled up and wilted up turning a shade of ugly grey.

" What a pity," a woman sighed as she looked at the wilted rose whose petals were falling down the stalk to which the bud was attached to it. " I thought that she was dead but somehow she managed to come back, is it because the old hag up there is helping her favourite disciple again? Even after her trip to hell? What a beautiful story." Her fingers curled around the wilted rose until she caused the entire thing to turn into smaller and crushed particles.
