Chapter 21 - Indulged (4)
Song Lin’s father had the same idea. After hearing that his son had the ability to befriend Zang Ya and invite him to their residence, he planned for three days and finally worked out a perfect plan to receive Zang Ya.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and sent his favorite daughter out, hoping that this smart and beautiful daughter could capture Zang Ya’s heart, thus bringing happiness to their entire family.
Song Lin felt that his father’s plan was rattling, but Zang Ya was completely out of control, making him unable to intervene.
“Song Lin.”
Song Lin was distracted when he suddenly heard Zang Ya calling him. He was startled and quickly approached Zang Ya, saying softly, “What’s the matter? Young Master Zang, do you have any instructions?”
Zang Ya did not answer immediately but stared at him as if examining him.
Song Lin felt sweat almost falling from his forehead under Zang Ya’s gaze. He reviewed all the things he had done since meeting Zang Ya, wondering if he had made any mistakes.
Song Ningxiang, who had always been quiet and spoke only when her brother reminded her, felt the tense atmosphere and opened her mouth to say something. However, she didn’t know what to say, so she closed her mouth again.
The atmosphere became extremely quiet, with only the sounds of birds around, which seemed particularly eerie in the empty yard.
Song Ningxiang did not expect that at such a young age, the young master of the Zang family would have such an oppressive aura, even more so than her father.
She felt a little scared now. If she married Zang Ya as her father expected, would she have to stay by his side every day and endure such treatment?
Song Ningxiang felt sad in her heart. She squeezed the handkerchief in her hand and complained a little about why her father and brother had asked her to come over to accompany them.
Seeing that Zang Ya did not speak and they were about to reach a stalemate, Song Lin couldn’t help but finally spoke to the young man in front of him, “Young Master Zang, I don’t know if I have treated you poorly. Please make it clear.”
As he spoke, Song Lin bent down, his expression particularly sincere.
Zang Ya looked at the dense sweat on his forehead, sneered, and then said, “You invited me here to see your pet, but now you are leading me on a detour. Did you do this intentionally or unintentionally?”
When Song Lin heard this, his eyes widened, and he knelt down with a thump, “Zang, Young Master Zang, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have had such twisted thoughts.”
There were two paths in the yard: one led directly to his sister’s petting zoo, and the other led through a lot of garden landscaping before reaching the petting zoo.
Song Lin had originally thought they would go to the farter path, so his sister and Zang Ya could spend more time together.
Who knew, who knew, that Zang Ya could actually see through it.
Seeing her brother kneeling so simply, Song Ningxiang did not know what was going on, so she knelt down too.
When the servants around them saw this, they also knelt down.
Suddenly, except for Zang Ya, who stood, everyone else knelt on the ground.
The Song family had no official position. Although it was a wealthy family, it was still insignificant in front of people like Zang Ya. This kneeling was normal.
Zang Ya looked at them kneeling on the ground, tilted his head, and observed their trembling expressions. He suddenly smiled, “Why are you so afraid? I haven’t said anything yet, and you are like this? Brother Song, this is not like your usual self.”
Song Lin felt that his scalp was numb at that moment. He wanted to be as usual; but he still wanted to save his life. If Zang Ya suddenly made trouble today, he and his sister would be trapped there.
Thinking of this, Song Lin faced the huge psychological pressure and showed a flattering smile toward Zang Ya, trying his best to say, “Young Master Zang, I made my own decision in this matter, but it has nothing to do with my sister. If you want to punish someone, young master can just punish me.”
Zang Ya glanced at him, then at the pitiful little girl kneeling next to him. His eyes lingered on her hairpin for a while, and then he suddenly said, “Get up! I just asked; Brother Song, this is too much fuss.”
Song Lin couldn’t believe Zang Ya’s words. He tried to figure out his thoughts, then slowly stood up, and then pulled up his sister.
Seeing them all standing up, Zang Ya said again, “Okay, since everything is fine, let’s go to your sister’s petting zoo! But this time, don’t lead us the wrong way again.”
Hearing this, Song Lin quickly said, “Of course, of course, I will definitely not lead you the wrong way.”
As Song Lin spoke, he led Zang Ya toward the side path. He was relieved when he saw that Zang Ya left with him without any sullen look on his face.
After passing through a bamboo forest path, there was another small courtyard, but this courtyard was different from the previous one. The previous one had been a place for entertaining guests, with pavilions and resting places everywhere, but this one was divided into small areas, each with different animals, just like a small zoo.
Song Lin was trying his calculation, but Zang Ya noticed it. At this time, he could only act as a guide honestly and did not dare to do anything to make Zang Ya unhappy. “Young Master Zang, this is where my father built a petting zoo for my sister. It is usually taken care of by my sister and her animal trainer.”
Zang Ya followed Song Lin and walked slowly inside, passing through the territories of rabbits, deer, dogs, cats, fish, ducks, geese, and horses.
In addition to being Song Ningxiang’s private petting zoo, this was also a place where the Song family received female guests. The Song family had also been favored by many female guests with higher status than their family, so the animals there were taken special care of. Their fur was fluffy and shiny.
Zang Ya lamented in his heart that the pets there were weak and seemed not enough to impress him. At the same time, he looked at the care environment of the pets. It seemed that, as Song Lin said, every animal had its own habitat and its most comfortable environment.
But looking at those furry things, Zang Ya suddenly thought of the little shuanger who would fall when the wind blew, which seemed somewhat similar to the two soft and white rabbits that were tightly together.
Song Lin watched Zang Ya staring at the two rabbits in a daze. Upon a closer look, Song Lin noticed that the rabbits were not ordinary; they were a breed specially found by his father. Their bodies were smaller than usual, their ears unusually big, and their eyes larger than those of ordinary rabbits. They seemed very popular with women at first glance.
Thinking that when Zang Ya first started chatting with him, he had asked about how to raise delicate pets, Song Lin thought that Zang Ya had taken a liking to these two rabbits. So, Song Lin thought for a moment, approached Zang Ya, and asked in a low voice, “Young Master Zang, do you want these rabbits?”
Hearing this, Zang Ya turned to look at Song Lin but did not look at him for too long. He just shook his head, “No, I don’t want them.”
Song Lin felt a little strange but did not dare to say anything more.
