The Birth Of A Villainess



Ran Xueyi did not want to admit that she had a tiny crush on her husband's 'disguise'. 

"Anyways, did the Cao family finally lose their minds? Forcing a grown adult man to marry their daughter, isn't it a bit too forceful?" Ran Xueyi changed the topic to focus on the important matter. 

Song Yu Han discreetly pinched her slim waist and sighed, "They already lost it a long time ago. Although I am not afraid, your husband is still human. Wife, protect me, okay?" 

Ran Xueyi glared at him. She then said, "Be serious."

Song Yu Han no longer poke fun with her and looked ahead. He coldly swept his dark eyes across the reception hall bursting with people in expensive clothes and accessories. 

"It would be nice if everyone just disappears," he whispered under his breath. 

…

Second Floor. 

Cao Qing nodded at the two guards guarding the room in their center and strode forward. He held the doorknob in his hands before pushing it open. 

As soon as the double doors opened in front of him,  several people who were already inside the room turned their heads in attention and the conversation they were having halted. 

"Xiao Qing." Old Patriarch Cao called out with a frown. "Why are you here?" 

Cao Qing unashamedly stepped inside and sat beside his grandfather. He grinningly said, "I saw that the main stars of the party aren't present, so I came to find everyone. Turns out, I'm missing a lot of interesting things, grandfather." 

Old Patriarch Cao sighed. "Silly boy, there's nothing interesting here. We're talking about something serious." 

Cao Qing raised his brows and pointed his chin at Song Yongrui before saying, "Serious? With him?" 

Cao Huiling glared at him and said, "What is that supposed to mean, Cao Qing?"

"Nothing really, Auntie. It's just that I can't mix the word 'serious' with Song Yongrui." Cao Qing shot at her without any hesitation. "Doesn't everyone think so, too?"

Everyone in the Cao family knew that Song Yongrui, the son of the great Cao Huiling, was a wastrel. Besides from his good family background from both sides of his family, there's nothing else good that can be seen from him. 

Still, because he had both Cao Huiling and Song Ruan's backing, no one contradicted Song Yongrui. 

Except, Cao Qing. 

Ever since he was young, Cao Qing was renowned in their family. Not only is he pleasing to the eyes and good-natured, he was also one of the geniuses that the Cao family had brought up. 

However, because of his parents dying earlier, he couldn't be at the forefront of the family business. And he was also constantly being compared to Song Yongrui. 

"Who do you think you are belittling?" Song Yongrui couldn't allow such disrespectfulness from Cao Qing and stepped forward as if he was about to throw a fist in his face. 

Cao Qing widened his eyes in an attempt to fake surprise and said, "Rui-ah, you learned to talk back already?" 

"You–!" Song Yongrui almost couldn't resist punching him. Fortunately, before anything could happen, Cao Huiling grabbed his arm and stopped him. 

"Enough." 

At the same time, Old Patriarch Cao's voice sounded. His tone was cold and stern, and almost everyone flinched. 

Old Patriarch Cao glared at his two immature grandsons and scoldingly said, "Are you not ashamed of our guests? Xiao Qing, Xiao Rui, apologize to them for showing such an ugly scene."

Cao Qing got rid of his smile and looked towards the Old Patriarch Song and Song Ruan. He nodded his head once and sincerely said, "I'm sorry everyone. Sorry, Yongrui." 

On the other hand, Song Yongrui did not utter a sound and refused to apologize. These people are his grandfather and father, why should he apologize? Besides, he was filled with glee when he saw Cao Qing saying sorry in front of everyone. 

Wait… Just why did Cao Qing act differently earlier? Downstairs, weren't they talking warmly with each other? Why the sudden change of personalities? 

From what he could remember Cao Qing never argued with him. Although he liked teasing him, Cao Qing would never humiliate him. 

However, thinking deeply was not within Song Yongrui's capabilities. He soon threw this strange and doubtful event to the back of his mind. 

"We were interrupted just now. But I think everyone understood the real purpose of this meeting, right?" Old Patriarch Cao resumed their conversation and added before Old Patriarch Song could speak, "I know that Song Yu Han is not someone that can be tamed. But the Song family has been having some problems with him. And if he marries into my Cao family, those problems will disappear." 

"With the Cao and the Song family uniting together again, the benefits both sides can take will be bountiful." 

"Don't you think so, Song Yichen?" 

Old Patriarch Song, Song Yichen, stared at him for a brief moment before sighing, "I have already told you. Unless that boy desires this marriage, I cannot interfere."

"Why not?" At this point, Cao Yujin suddenly asked. "You're his grandfather and the patriarch of the Song family, if you order Han-ge to do it, he will surely not disobey you." 

Song Yichen glanced at Cao Yujin for a second. He sighed in his heart. If it was five years ago, he might have agreed to let Song Yu Han marry Cao Yujin. It's too bad that it was too late to regret it. 

Cao Yujin has a beautiful appearance. She also did not pale in comparison to other talented heirs of other wealthy families in terms of running a business. In all honesty, she was the perfect daughter-in-law anyone would want.

If she was the woman Song Yu Han married, there might be a chance of peaceful dealings between the Cao and the Song family. The two families might even become the wealthy and powerful Giants of the World.

It's a pity. Really a pity. If he had only controlled Song Yu Han with a  better and sturdier collar around his neck, the world would have been within his hands.

"The marriage between you and Song Yu Han cannot and won't happen even if you threaten me and the Song family," said Old Patriarch Song.

Then he quickly added before Cao Yujin could argue, "Because Song Yu Han is already married,"
