The whole family died tragically? The eldest daughter is the most powerful in the capital after her

Song Zhennan looked up at Lin Ruoqiao from time to time, with a gentle light in his eyes, but Lin Ruoqiao didn't seem to notice and kept her head down and didn't say much.

Lin Ruoxue was quick-witted and mentioned the Song family and the Lin family several times, with the intention of bringing Lin Ruoqiao and Song Zhennan together.

Although Lin Ruoxuan didn't participate much in the topic, she didn't show too much hostility either.

Finally, after the meal, I felt particularly happy.

After dinner, several people walked out of the restaurant together.

Lin Ruoxue pulled Lin Ruoxuan and said, "Ruoxuan, accompany me to donate some money for incense."

Then he said to Song Zhennan, "Mr. Song, please send Ruoqiao back."

Song Zhennan was naturally happy and quickly agreed.

Lin Ruoxuan saw Lin Ruoxue's intention, but did not refute it in person.

After saying goodbye to Song Zhennan, Lin Ruoxue gently patted Lin Ruoxuan's hand and took her to the abbot's courtyard of the temple.

Along the way, Lin Ruoxue looked normal, but Lin Ruoxuan couldn't help but secretly worry about Lin Ruoqiao in her heart.

After walking a little further away, Lin Ruoxuan finally spoke: "Big sister, why did you let Seventh Sister and Song Zhennan be alone together? You knew that Song Zhennan had hurt Seventh Sister deeply before."

When Lin Ruoxue heard her sister's question, she stopped and sighed softly.

She looked around and confirmed that there was no one else around before she said earnestly, "Ruoxuan, I know you're worried about Ruoqiao, but some things are unavoidable."

"But Seventh Sister's personality is no match for the Song family. I'm afraid she will continue to be hurt." Lin Ruoxuan couldn't help but frown.

Lin Ruoxue smiled gently: "It's not that I haven't thought about this. Ruoqiao was indeed hurt by the Song family, but can't you see that she still cares about him in her heart? Feelings are not so easy to let go."

Lin Ruoxuan frowned even more tightly, with a hint of doubt: "But is it worth taking the risk again just because you care? What kind of people are in the Song family? Seventh sister can't compete with them at all."

Lin Ruoxue turned around and took Lin Ruoxuan's hand: "You have to understand that Ruoqiao is not a weak person, she is just simple-minded. Moreover, I am not looking at how the Song family treats her, but how Song Zhennan treats her. I believe he really likes Ruoqiao."

Lin Ruoxuan's heart was moved, and she couldn't help but ask, "Why do you believe this?"

"When it comes to feelings, it's hard to say what you have to rely on. You've seen how Song Zhennan has taken care of Ruoqiao these days. His feelings are very clear. As for the other people in the Song family, we have to believe that Song Zhennan can handle it. We have to give him time."

After listening to Lin Ruoxuan, although she understood Lin Ruoxue's analysis, she still didn't quite agree with it.

Zhang Mo was also a person who could read people's expressions, so he naturally saw the trick between Song Zhennan and Lin Ruoqiao.

So he made up an excuse and left early: "Brother Song, I have something to do, so I won't go with you."

Song Zhennan exchanged a few words with him and let him leave.

Only Lin Ruoqiao and Song Zhennan were left. They walked slowly along the bluestone path. The wind blew past, bringing a cool breeze.

Song Zhennan walked beside Lin Ruoqiao, looking at her silently. He had prepared thousands of words to say, but he didn't know how to start.

Lin Ruoqiao has a straightforward personality, but she is not without thoughts.

She could feel that Song Zhennan was interested in her, but she understood that if she didn't take this opportunity to make everything clear, things would only become more complicated.

She stopped and turned to look at Song Zhennan. The usual mischief was no longer in her eyes, but was replaced by seriousness.

"Mr. Song, I have something to tell you." Her voice was not loud but firm.

Song Zhennan also stopped and looked up at her.

He didn't say anything, just silently waited for her next words.

Lin Ruoqiao took a deep breath and tried to keep her tone calm: "Before, I did have some feelings for you. During that time... I thought there might be a possibility between us. But after going through all this, I realized that we are not suitable."

Her voice was calm, without any fluctuation, but her heart couldn't help but tighten when she said these words.

After all, this feeling was once the softest spot in her heart.

Song Zhennan frowned slightly, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, but he did not rush to explain.

He just listened quietly, waiting for her to continue.

"I know you may care about me in your heart, but we have different identities and personalities. I have a bad temper and say whatever I want to say, and you... your family background, I can't handle it, so we are not suitable to be together."

Song Zhennan was silent for a moment, then said softly: "Ruoqiao, I can't deny the problems you mentioned. You are right, the Song family is indeed complicated, and my situation is not easy. But love is not something that can be easily decided by whether it is suitable or not. I know I have made mistakes and disappointed you, but I don't intend to give up just like that."

Lin Ruoqiao looked at him with a hint of surprise in her eyes. She didn't expect Song Zhennan to be so frank.

He confronted the problem head on, which left her unsure of how to respond.

Song Zhennan continued, "I won't rush you to change your mind, nor will I force you to accept me now. But I hope you can give me a chance and prove with your actions that I am sincere. I won't let you down again."

Lin Ruoqiao felt complicated, but she still shook her head: "Mr. Song, I really just want to be friends now. I don't want to get entangled in emotional matters anymore."

Song Zhennan didn't say anything more, just nodded gently, his eyes still gentle: "Okay, if you want us to be friends, I respect your decision."

The two fell into a brief silence. Lin Ruoqiao didn't know how to respond and felt complicated.

The two of them walked back side by side and were seen by Song Yuqing and Song Yuxin who were also returning.

"I never thought that Zhennan could be so easily controlled by a country girl." Song Yuqing said sarcastically.

Song Yuxin couldn't help but laugh, "That's right, Zhennan is really incompetent. He can't even handle a little girl. He really brings shame to the Song family."

Song Yuqing and Song Yuxin looked at the two men's backs as they left. The ridicule on their faces did not disappear, but instead became even more harsh.

"This loser really thinks he can convince a country girl with just a few sweet words." Song Yuqing snorted coldly, with deep disdain in his eyes.

When Lin Ruoxuan just returned to the Lin family, before she sat down to drink some tea, Hong Ya hurried in and brought the latest news about the Song family and the Wu family.
