The Side Character Wants to Lie Flat-Chapter 51: Worthless

Of everyone present, only Hua Manman could produce such a large sum of silver from the Prince Zhao Mansion.

The silver could only be hers.

Han Zhenzhen’s words were essentially backing up Song Ding.

Song Ding reacted instantly, a helpless look on his face.

"Qingqing, I know I shouldn’t meddle in affairs between you sisters, but your sister has truly gone too far this time.

We were betrothed before birth, and our feelings for each other run deep, but she’s actually trying to tear us apart for her own selfish desires!

For your sake, I’ll let this go. I’ll just pretend it never happened.

But I have to warn you—your sister is not a good person.

You should stay away from her from now on, lest you get schemed against by her again."

His tone was utterly sincere, as if he were genuinely looking out for Hua Qingqing.

Hua Qingqing, however, just pressed her lips together, watching him with a complex expression.

Her stare made Song Ding a little uneasy. He frowned and asked.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?"

Han Zhenzhen chose the right moment to step in and smooth things over.

"Mr. Song, please calm down. We’re in a teahouse, and there are other people watching. We should all talk a little less."

Song Ding sighed. "I’m not angry. I just think what Hua Manman did is too absurd. Qingqing is so good to her, yet she wants to break us up. What kind of sister in the world is like her?"

He glanced around and saw that quite a few passersby were indeed looking in their direction.

He then lowered his voice, his tone becoming very gentle.

"Qingqing, I know you must not be in a good mood right now. Let me take you home first.

When I get back, I’ll talk to my mother and have her visit your parents as soon as possible to arrange our wedding date."

Hua Qingqing didn’t move.

She asked softly.

"Song Ding, do you dare swear on your mother’s life and your own future that not a single word you just said was a lie?"

Song Ding hadn’t expected her to make such a demand, and his expression stiffened for a moment.

But he quickly recovered, asking bitterly.

"Qingqing, I’ve already presented the evidence. Do you still refuse to believe me? Am I really that untrustworthy in your eyes?"

Song Ding’s performance was flawless. He seemed nothing like a two-timing, greedy scumbag.

’If my younger sister hadn’t confessed her relationship with Song Ding to me first,’ Hua Qingqing thought, ’I might have actually believed him and thought it was all my sister’s fault.’

She said slowly.

"I truly never imagined you were this kind of person—not only unfaithful and hypocritical but also a cowardly, shameless liar."

Song Ding frowned, clearly displeased.

"What I said just now was the truth. It really was Hua Manman who deliberately schemed against you. I’m on your side. Why won’t you believe me?"

Hua Qingqing sneered. "You probably don’t know this, but Manman already told me everything about the two of you. She, a mere woman, has more integrity than you. Now look at yourself. You don’t even have the courage to admit you were wrong."

Song Ding was utterly shocked.

He never in his wildest dreams imagined that Hua Manman had already told Hua Qingqing the truth.

’Doesn’t that make my whole act just now a complete joke?’ 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Song Ding hastily tried to defend himself.

"I don’t know what Hua Manman told you, but I can promise you that there is nothing between her and me. In my heart, there has only ever been you."

If this had been in the past, Hua Qingqing would have certainly blushed beet-red upon hearing such words.

But now, she replied with a blank expression.

"Your promise is worthless."
