After Transmigrating into the Scum Wife of a Disabled Black Moonlight (GL) - Chapter 21

After dropping Song Chisui off at school, Deng Li returned to the villa.

The autumn sun was gentle. She sat in the courtyard on the first floor, slowly tapping her jade-like, bamboo-jointed knuckles on the marble table.

Tap, tap.

The next thing to happen was the grand birthday party.

At the party, someone intended to frame Song Chisui, but she was lucky to be saved by Jian Qiuyu. The outcome was a close call, and the relationship between the two of them was cemented through physical contact.

However, while they focused on their feelings, they didn’t catch the culprit.

Deng Li thought that she would have time to monitor the bad guys at this party. If she caught them, wouldn’t that be a great way to earn favor with Song Chisui?

Maybe Song Chisui would be grateful, give her a large sum of money, and let her leave. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?

She began to fantasize: Song Chisui, with a sullen face, looked down at her and threw stacks of money at her. The banknotes flew everywhere, and she gleefully grabbed them.

“Deng Li, you helped me catch the bad guys, but I don’t love you. Take this money, and let’s get a divorce.”

Thinking of this, she comfortably adjusted her position, half-lying on the lounge chair, letting the sun bathe her.

Not far away, Chunmei was standing outside the door with a cup of coffee, slowly walking toward her.

She pushed open the glass door, put the cappuccino on the table, and cautiously reminded her, “Madam, the coffee is ready.”

Deng Li’s narrow phoenix eyes opened. Her lips moved softly. “Just set it down.”

“Okay.” Chunmei collected the tray and retreated behind the door, glancing at her as she closed it.

In the main hall, the doorbell rang. Chunmei wiped her hands and hurried out to greet the person.

“I have a package.”

The voice sounded like a young man. She opened the video intercom.

The person was wearing a black baseball cap and a black tracksuit. He looked very mysterious.

“Is it for Miss?”

Chunmei went out into the yard to meet him, taking out a pen to sign for the package.

In the sunlight, the man’s voice was cold. “No, it’s for you.”

Chunmei instantly broke out in a cold sweat. “For me?”

“Yes, please sign for it.”

She quickly scribbled her name.

The man lowered his head, packed up his things, and turned to leave.

Deng Li was sipping her coffee, one sip at a time. She felt that the coffee beans were a little sour today. She was about to look for Butler Chunmei when she looked up and saw the scene in the distance.

Chunmei opened the package and then opened an envelope.

She carefully unfolded it. After looking at whatever was inside, her face instantly turned pale.

Deng Li stood up and walked toward her with light steps. She asked enthusiastically, “Auntie Chunmei, are you feeling unwell?”

Chunmei instinctively hid the envelope, reached up to tuck her hair behind her ear, and replied calmly, “I’m fine. It’s just some photos sent by my son.”

Deng Li raised an eyebrow. “Is that so?”

Deng Li pursed her lips and licked the coffee from her lips. “Can I see?”

Chunmei looked embarrassed. “This…”

Deng Li’s hand hung in the air for a moment. “It seems like it’s not convenient.”

Chunmei smiled awkwardly. “Madam, my son is not very good-looking… Are you hungry? I’ll ask the kitchen to make you something.”

She took a sip of coffee. “Mhm.”

Seeing Chunmei’s retreating back, Deng Li vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she couldn’t quite place it.

The weekend arrived quickly.

Song Chiqiu’s birthday party was held on Beiming Mountain. There was a formal lunch and socializing, and in the afternoon, there would be lake tours, barbecues, or mahjong.

On Saturday morning, Deng Li and Song Chisui arrived at Beiming Mountain early.

The venue was already decorated.

The theme was clear: two rows of pink balloons were hung up, the ginkgo tree branches were covered in lights, and the yard was filled with birthday materials.

The entire courtyard and the first floor of the villa had about twenty tables in total.

Everyone who came to the birthday party was wealthy and influential. They were all members of City A’s high society. Anyone you randomly pointed to was a leader in their respective field: catering, entertainment, fashion, hotels… Everyone with a reputation showed respect to Song Suiying.

As the chairman of City A’s Chamber of Commerce, his industries included commercial real estate, entertainment, and catering. Anyone working in these fields couldn’t afford not to be associated with him. On the surface, this was Song Chiqiu’s birthday party, but in reality, it was an important networking event for the Song family and the industry.

Coming here to get help or meet people was important. As for whose birthday it was, few people actually cared.

Deng Li had attended a wedding once. At the reception, everyone except the bride only cared about what they would eat later, not the wedding ceremony.

But Song Chiqiu probably doesn’t know that. She just knows that there are many people, and it’s lively.

At this moment, Song Chiqiu was holding a dog leash, standing under the banner, smiling as she looked at the birthday-themed print.

【Happy Birthday, Sister Qiuqiu! Forever Eighteen!】

The print featured dogs and a photo of Song Chiqiu. The background was pink, giving it a warm feeling.

When Deng Li and Song Chisui walked up to her, she was still staring at it wistfully.

“Sister,” Song Chisui called her. Only then did she turn around.

Soon, Song Chisui and Song Chiqiu were outside playing with streamers. Deng Li, meanwhile, was coordinating the guest list with the butler.

The main guests were a complex mix: Song Chisui’s relatives, classmates, teachers, doctors, and people from Song Suiying’s family branch, Song Shunjun’s family, and the uncle’s family.

And, of course, the elite from various businesses.

Among these elites were the hidden assassins targeting Song Chisui. She naturally had to be on the lookout and memorize all their faces.

By 10:30 a.m., guests began to arrive one after another.

Song Suiying was the first to arrive. He came in a low-key Maybach, accompanied by three bodyguards.

After getting out of the car, he leaned on his cane. The high-quality cane shone brightly in the sun.

“Qiuqiu, Sui Sui.”

Song Suiying smiled brightly and walked forward quickly.

Deng Li and Song Chisui hurried to greet him. Song Chiqiu followed behind with the dog.

Song Chisui and Deng Li called out at almost the same time: “Grandpa.”

Song Suiying raised an eyebrow. “Oh, you two are getting more and more in sync.”

Both of them were silent in unison.

Song Chisui smiled, turned, and pulled Song Chiqiu. “Sister Qiuqiu, this is Grandpa.”

Song Chiqiu bit her finger, staring at him with a pair of innocent eyes, hesitating. “Grandpa?”

“Yes,” he replied, fighting back tears and trying to remain calm.

Right after Song Suiying, Song Shunjun’s car arrived. He was driving a Wrangler. After parking, Song Tianfu was the first to jump out.

“Sister Qiu, Sister Sui.”

Deng Li looked him up and down. She hadn’t paid much attention to him last time, but she did now. Song Tianfu was less than 175 cm tall, dark-skinned, had some acne and acne scars, thick eyebrows, and a receding chin. When he smiled, he looked a little foolish.

He was wearing designer clothes from head to toe, looking like a crow trying to wear a peacock’s feathers.

It was strange. He was clearly a son of the Song family, yet his demeanor was so different from the two sisters.

His relationship with the Song sisters seemed decent. The strange thing was that Song Shunjun and Li Ling seemed to be hostile toward the Song sisters.

This hostility was obvious. Even their greetings carried a hint of malice.

Li Ling said sarcastically, “Look how nice this house is. Is Qiuqiu used to living here alone?”

She fanned herself, raising her eyebrows slightly. “Shunjun, this place is much prettier than ours.”

Her tone hinted that she blamed the old man for not arranging a good house for her.

She dared to act so brazenly because Song Suiying had already gone inside to rest and couldn’t hear the commotion outside. The two of them were completely reckless.

Song Shunjun comforted her. “You don’t understand. Dad pities them. My brother and sister-in-law died early, and they’re both like this now.”

He hinted that one was disabled and the other was crazy.

Deng Li frowned. Ha! Why don’t they rent out an entire theater for their little act?

Song Chisui was silent throughout, not even lifting her head.

Song Chiqiu didn’t understand and showed no reaction.

Deng Li was fuming, with nowhere to vent her anger. They are so awful. I’ll show them. Just as she took two steps forward, someone cut in front of her.

Song Chiqiu suddenly darted forward and pointed at Li Ling. “Wild chicken!”

Everyone was stunned.

“Big wild chicken!” Song Chiqiu looked at her happily.

Li Ling was momentarily stunned. She wasn’t Song Shunjun’s first wife. She was the mistress who took over. How did she do it? She got pregnant with Song Tianfu, mocked the original wife for being infertile, and then transformed herself into the second mistress of the Song family.

Being called out like this made her deeply embarrassed. “You, what did you say?”

Her face was red, and she pointed at Song Chiqiu.

Song Shunjun and Song Tianfu stopped her.

“Calm down.”

“Mom, Sister’s mentally ill. Don’t blame her.”

Li Ling pushed Song Tianfu. “I gave birth to you, and you’re taking their side?”

“Song Chiqiu, come here. I want to talk to you.”

Now, Li Ling assumed the posture of an elder and prepared to lecture her.

Song Chiqiu seemed frightened. She quickly moved closer to Deng Li, grabbing her clothes and hiding behind her. “Big doggy, bite her.”

Li Ling was furious. “You!”

Deng Li stopped her. “Auntie, why are you arguing with a five-year-old child?”

“A five-year-old child? She’s thirty.”

Deng Li smiled. “But her mental age is only eight, maybe even younger. You were the one who was chattering outside. She thought it was a wild chicken making noise.”

This made the people around them laugh.

Deng Li’s words only made Li Ling angrier. “You, you…”

“Auntie, the old man is inside. If you like this house, you can go in and look around now.” Deng Li reached out and made a gesture of invitation.

Song Shunjun appeased her. “Let’s go. Don’t embarrass yourself.” He figured that many guests had already arrived. If they kept causing a scene, it would be a joke.

Li Ling fumed, clenching her fists. She walked past Song Chiqiu with a huff and stopped beside Song Chisui. She glanced at her, then swayed her hips and went inside.

The appetizers of the birthday party were already this intense. One could only imagine what would happen in the next few hours.

Deng Li sighed. When she looked back, she happened to meet Song Chisui’s eyes.

The autumn light shone on her face through the leaves. Her eyes were filled with the calm of autumn water.

Did she smile at me because of what just happened?

After a brief exchange of glances, Deng Li quickly turned her head away, feeling a little shy. It was just a small gesture. She wouldn’t be thanking me, would she? No need.

She turned back only to realize she was wrong.

I wondered why Song Chisui was suddenly smiling. It turned out that Jian Qiuyu had arrived.
