Chapter 47: Life Experience

In Zhou Lei's opinion, Song Hua was nothing more than a clownish imitator.

Seeing that Song Baoyi knew medicine, Song Hua also learned to carry a medical kit.

Seeing Song Baoyi reading books about ancient Egyptian writing, she also picked up a book and pretended to read it.

In short, whatever Song Baoyi did, she had to follow suit.

Little did she know that while actions could be imitated, inner qualities and temperament could not be replicated.

Such a person would only make a fool of themselves.

Song Baoyi looked in the direction where Song Hua had disappeared and explained, "Mom, don't say that. Elder sister just wants to learn another skill."

"Does she think she's you? Learning everything with ease?" Zhou Lei's tone was full of disdain, "Just a little wild child, does she really think she has any good genes? Overestimating herself."

In front of Song Baoyi, Song Hua would always be that unsightly clown.

She could only ever exist as someone who set off Song Baoyi's brilliance.

"Mom, please keep your voice down! If elder sister hears you, she'll feel inferior."

"Will she feel inferior?" Zhou Lei sneered, "If she knew how to feel inferior, she wouldn't be acting like this now."

If Song Hua had any sense of shame, she wouldn't do such an ugly thing as imitating Song Baoyi.

After speaking, Zhou Lei changed the subject and asked, "By the way, Baoyi, how are things at the Yun family? Have you treated Miss Yun?"

Hearing this, Song Baoyi nodded slightly, "I applied the medicine to Miss Yun. I'll go back the day after tomorrow for a follow-up."

Zhou Lei then asked, "What was the Yun family's attitude like?"

"Very good," Song Baoyi said, "Old Madam Yun received me personally."

"Really?" Zhou Lei was very surprised.

As the head of the eight great wealthy families, Old Madam Yun had always been a legend in the eyes of outsiders.

Few people could gain Old Madam Yun's approval.

Unexpectedly, Song Baoyi could actually have Old Madam Yun receive her personally.

This was truly a great honor.

Song Baoyi nodded and said with a smile, "Mom, actually, Old Madam Song is just an ordinary old lady. The descriptions of her in the outside world are too legendary."

"An ordinary old lady could develop the Yun family into the head of the eight great wealthy families?" Zhou Lei continued, "She was just an ordinary old lady in front of you."

Because Song Baoyi was excellent enough, Old Madam Yun was no different from an ordinary old lady in front of her.

Zhou Lei also felt honored to have such an outstanding biological daughter!

Song Baoyi smiled, "Mom, it's really not as exaggerated as you say. You'll know when you meet Old Madam Yun yourself."

Zhou Lei smiled and said, "Baoyi, you're good at everything, you're just too modest. Actually, sometimes, there's really no need to be so modest. By the way, how is Miss Yun's condition?"

"You don't need to worry about Miss Yun's condition. Everything is under my control," Song Baoyi said.

"Okay," Zhou Lei nodded.

She believed in Song Baoyi's medical skills and was also very much looking forward to the day Song Baoyi would heal Yun Shiyao.

**

The Song family manor in the capital.

Song Yiyan, the eldest daughter of the Song family, brought freshly stewed bird's nest to Madam Song and said softly, "Mom, you haven't eaten all day. Have some of this to fill your stomach."

Madam Song was fifty years old this year. Although she took good care of herself, there were still faint crow's feet at the corners of her eyes. She was shrouded in an air of melancholy and was even more worried at this moment, silently shedding tears.

"I'm not hungry, take it away," Madam Song said faintly.

Song Yiyan sighed and persuaded, "Mom, people need to eat to live."

Madam Song looked out the window, her voice filled with endless longing, "Today... is your sister's birthday."

Hearing this sentence, Song Yiyan's expression changed, but it quickly returned to normal. She then said, "I know today is elder sister's birthday. Precisely because today is elder sister's birthday, you need to eat even more. What if we find elder sister one day, but your health has deteriorated? You need to be healthy so that you can reunite with elder sister."

The Song family was the top family in the capital.

The head of the Song family, Song Xiuwei, and his wife, Zheng Mei, had three sons and one daughter, each of whom was outstanding.

The eldest son, Song Bochen, was 30 years old and the founder of LP Company, with assets worth hundreds of billions. He was a veritable business tycoon.

The second son, Song Boyuan, was 28 years old, an internationally renowned pianist. He held his first solo concert at the age of six and founded the world's largest music management company at sixteen. He was a musical prodigy.

The third son, Song Boyang, was 26 years old, a hugely popular superstar in the entertainment industry and a film emperor who had won countless Hollywood awards, captivating millions of fans.

The remaining daughter was Song Yiyan.

As the only daughter of the Song family, Song Yiyan had not only the favor of her parents but also the love of her three elder brothers since childhood. She was truly the darling of the family.

And Song Yiyan did not become spoiled and arrogant because of her family's love. On the contrary, she was very excellent. At the age of eighteen, she was already a sophomore in college and had won many awards.

In fact, Song Yiyan was only the adopted daughter of the Song family.

The real eldest daughter of the Song family was taken away less than a month after her birth.

In an era when surveillance cameras were not yet widespread, the Song family searched for a long time but could not find her. By chance, they adopted their current daughter.

Song Yiyan.

Although her family doted on her on the surface, giving her the best of everything in terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, only Song Yiyan herself knew that she was just a substitute.

Otherwise, the Song family wouldn't have named her Song Yiyan.

Song Yiyan.

A homophone for Song Yiyan (remembering Yan).

And the child the Song family lost was named Song Yan.

The Song family parents had never treated her as their own biological daughter.

Just like now.

She had brought nourishing food to Madam Song out of filial piety, but Madam Song not only didn't appreciate her kindness but instead mentioned Song Yan in front of her.

Elder sister?

What kind of elder sister was Song Yan?

She had been dutiful to Madam Song for so many years, but where was that Song Yan?

Song Yan had never appeared but had received all of Madam Song's motherly love.

Whenever she thought of these things, Song Yiyan felt extremely uncomfortable.

She couldn't understand why fate was so unfair.

Although she wasn't the biological child of the Song family couple, she had called Song Xiuwei and Zheng Mei Mom and Dad for so many years. But this Zheng Mei always had a melancholic look on her face, missing her daughter, and had never given her a smile.

Although Song Xiuwei had never shown anything in front of her, there had been many times when she went downstairs to drink water late at night and saw Song Xiuwei standing in front of the French windows, not saying a word, just silently smoking.

That appearance clearly showed that he was also missing his lost youngest daughter.

Whenever she thought of this, Song Yiyan felt an unbearable hatred. She hated Song Yan, whom she had never met.

She hated her for taking everything from her!

She hated the Song family parents, she hated their favoritism.

Hearing this, Madam Song immediately picked up the bowl and ate the bird's nest in large mouthfuls.

Song Yiyan was right. She had to take good care of her health. She had to wait for her daughter to return.

Seeing this, Song Yiyan felt even more uncomfortable, but she still pretended to be fine.

After finishing the bird's nest, Madam Song looked at Song Yiyan, "Yiyan, have you heard any news about your elder sister recently?"

Song Yiyan was a good child and had taken the initiative to look for Song Yan.

Over the years, in order to find Song Yan, Song Yiyan had traveled to countless places.

Madam Song had seen it all and felt very sorry for her.

Song Yiyan shook her head, "Not yet, but don't worry, I've been following up on this. I won't give up even if there's only a tiny clue."
