Song Haiping and Rong Ting didn't stay in Beijing for long.
However, not long after they came back, Song Yuan's mother, Madam Chen Linjing, came back from Harbor City.
When Chen Linjing was coming back, she naturally informed Song Yuan immediately. Song Yuan knew that these seemingly peaceful days were about to be broken again. Even if she could lie to others about the existence of Rong Ting and Rong Ting's relationship with her, she couldn't lie to her parents. Now, her father already knew, but her mother didn't. The longer this matter was kept secret, the worse it would be. Song Yuan, who had made up her mind to come clean, became unusually attentive. On the day that Chen Linjing was coming back, she specially asked for half a day's leave and drove to the airport in the afternoon to pick up her mother.
On the way to the airport, Song Yuan didn't forget to buy a bouquet of flowers from the flower shop.
There were many people at the airport every day. Song Yuan waited at the exit. When she saw her mother wearing big sunglasses and a windbreaker and dragging a small suitcase out, she showed a cleverness that she hadn't shown in her 22 years of life. She rushed up and hugged her mother. "Mom, I missed you so much!"
Chen Linjing took off her sunglasses, took the bouquet of flowers, and looked at Song Yuan. "Thank you. Don't you have to go to work today? "
Song Yuan said obsequiously, "Work is not as important as Mom!"
Chen Linjing smiled. "Okay, let's go."
Song Yuan took the initiative to help Chen Linjing with her suitcase. Along the way, she asked about her mother's well-being. "Mom, you've been in Harbor City for too long this time. Are you used to the food there?"
"I've always liked Cantonese food."
"That's true. The weather there is more comfortable. Mom, you just got off the plane. Are you cold? I was afraid that you'd be cold, so I brought an extra sweater and put it in the car. "
Song Yuan had always been a well-behaved and sensible daughter. After Chen Linjing divorced Song Haiping, she had never thought of finding another person to marry. She was afraid that her daughter would be wronged.
For so many years, countless people had told her that women didn't need to work so hard, but did she dare to not work hard? She worked hard to give her daughter a good living environment.
When the mother and daughter arrived at the parking lot, Song Yuan placed the suitcase in the trunk and took the initiative to open the door of the front passenger seat. "Mom, I bought the thermos on the center console. There's black tea inside. I took this black tea from Uncle's office. It should be good. The temperature has dropped recently. Drink some hot tea to warm yourself up. "
Chen Linjing nodded and sat in the passenger seat. After fastening his seat belt, he picked up the thermos flask from the center console and took a sip. The temperature of the water was just right. It was very comfortable.
"Mom, on the way here, I was afraid that you would be hungry, so I bought sandwiches and rice balls from the convenience store. The rice balls have already been heated in the microwave, so they should still be warm now."
Chen Linjing looked at Song Yuan.
Song Yuan had been afraid of her mother since she was young. Now that she was being stared at by her mother, Song Yuan couldn't help but feel a little nervous. "Mom, why are you looking at me like that?"
"It's nothing. Your skin has been a little dry recently, so I brought you a mask."
Song Yuan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. "Okay!"
It wasn't rush hour to get from the airport to her home, so it only took about 40 minutes to reach the entrance of the neighborhood.
Song Yuan parked the car and took out her phone to look at it. She found that there was a text message a few minutes ago. She opened it and saw that it was a text message from the bank, reminding her that someone had just transferred 100,000 yuan to her.
Song Yuan's eyes suddenly widened. She looked at Chen Linjing, who was sitting in the front passenger seat and looking at her phone. "Mom, why did you transfer the money to me?"
"Aren't you short of money?" Chen Linjing was also very surprised.
Song Yuan was really speechless. She was so attentive and considerate just now, but in her mother's eyes, she had "ulterior motives". Was she short of money?!
Alright, she did have ulterior motives, but it wasn't for the money.
"I-I have money of my own." Song Yuan was a little nervous at first, but after this, she calmed down. "But I also accept the transfer. Thank you, Mom. "
It was really expensive to raise a child.
Song Yuan felt that she was quite thick-skinned. She had already graduated from university, but she was still so calm about taking her parents' money.
With her current salary of 7,000 to 8,000 yuan, it was very difficult to raise a child of high quality. Not to mention other things, she had asked around about the kindergarten nearby. It was said that a kindergarten that was not too good would cost 4,000 yuan a month.
Gugu also especially liked to read. She spent a lot of money buying books for him this moonlight.
It was also because her parents were backing her up. Otherwise, with her ability, both she and Gugu would probably have to live a tight life.
Chen Linjing also got out of the car. "I'll stay here with you for a few days."
Song Yuan was originally very eager, but when she thought of Rong Ting and her father at home, she didn't dare to agree too quickly.
"Why, is it inconvenient?"
"No, no, I can't wait to live with Mom every day!"
Chen Linjing put on her sunglasses again. "If you really think so, come home with me in two days."
"…"
Before Song Yuan graduated from university, other than living in the dormitory when she was in school, she lived in her family's big villa for the rest of her time.
After graduating from university, she moved out on her own. Although she said that she wanted to live independently, in fact, she had her own selfish motives. She knew that her mother would sometimes fall in love, and she always felt that it was inconvenient for her to stay at home.
She was no longer like when she was young, strongly opposed to her parents finding other happiness.
Now, she hoped that her father would live well, and she also hoped that her mother would live well. Especially her mother, who shouldn't always live for her.
The two of them walked into the elevator. Song Yuan was still very timid in front of her mother, but now she also realized that she had to give her mother a heads-up. Otherwise, when she saw Rong Ting and her father at home later, the situation would become very chaotic.
"Mom, we don't have to go out to eat later."
"Why? You want to cook? "
"It's not me." Song Yuan gritted her teeth. "It's Dad. Dad has been back recently and has been taking care of me."
Chen Linjing made an "oh" sound. She wasn't surprised by this. She wasn't such a selfish mother. She wouldn't hold on to her daughter and not let him get close to her after divorcing her ex-husband.
With a ding, the elevator door opened. Song Yuan then realized that she hadn't said the most important thing. Why was the elevator so fast today! In the past, it was always slow, but today it was too fast!
Before she could finish speaking, they had arrived.
Song Yuan wanted to say something, but Chen Linjing was in a rush. She directly walked out of the elevator door and walked home with her head held high.
Song Yuan didn't have any psychological barriers when she told her father about her relationship with Rong Ting, but when she thought about telling her mother … she felt a little ostrich. She originally wanted to tell her mother a few days ago, but she delayed it until today. On the way back, she thought that it wasn't appropriate to tell her mother about this kind of thing since she was driving, so she didn't want to affect her driving mood. If there was an accident, it would be a loss. So, she delayed it until she got out of the car.
To put it bluntly, she was afraid.
She was afraid that her mother would be angry, and she was also afraid that she would be disappointed.
When she was young, her grades had always been the same. When she was in high school, her grades were almost affected by puppy love. That time, she did very badly on the monthly test and dropped by nearly ten places. The teacher wanted her to bring the report card back for her parents to sign, but she dared not look for her mother.
If her parents hadn't divorced, then their little family would have been the most typical combination of a strict mother and a loving father, a tiger mother and a cat father.
Ever since she became an adult and went to university, her mother wasn't as strict with her as before.
Chen Linjing walked to the door and found that it was open. After all, it was her daughter's house. She didn't stand on ceremony and pushed the door open to enter.
She wanted to change her shoes, but when she walked into the house, she saw Song Haiping coming out of the kitchen in an apron. He was holding a piece of pork rib and smiling as he fed it to the little boy.
"Is it good?"
"It's still edible."
"Then you'd better eat less later!"
After the grandfather and grandson finished speaking, they realized that Chen Linjing was standing in the living room and looking at them.
Song Haiping's fear of his ex-wife was bone-deep. He shrank back.
Chen Linjing couldn't help but narrow her eyes at this reaction. She stared at Rong Ting for a while and said to Song Haiping, "Come out for a while. I have something to talk to you about."
After saying that, she didn't care about other people's reactions and went out directly.
Song Haiping reluctantly took off his apron and followed her out. When they bumped into Song Yuan, the father and daughter looked at each other.
Song Haiping whispered, "Your mother said that she had something to talk to me about. Did you tell her?"
Song Yuan shook her head. "I didn't. I'm scared."
"You're so useless!"
"Song Haiping!" Chen Linjing urged impatiently from outside the door.
Song Haiping immediately went out.
Song Yuan wanted to follow and take a look, but Chen Linjing had already closed the door. She stood at the entrance, not knowing whether she should go out or not. Rong Ting walked to her side and lamented, "Grandmother is quite dignified. I forgot to call her. How rude."
Chen Linjing, who was very dignified in Rong Ting's eyes, was looking coldly at Song Haiping.
"Why are you looking at me?" Song Haiping was scared by her stare and pretended to be impatient. "I'm still stewing ribs in the pot. Hurry up and say what you want to say. "
Chen Linjing had a good relationship with Song Haiping's sister-in-law. They used to be sisters-in-law, but they got along very well. After the divorce, they became best friends. When she was in Harbor City, she heard that Song Haiping had a son with a woman. Recently, he probably wanted to acknowledge his roots and ancestors. He often took his youngest son to various occasions without any taboo. She also saw the photo sent by Song Haiping's wife. Although it was a little blurry, she recognized at a glance that the little boy who was being fed ribs by Song Haiping was the one in the photo. He was also Song Haiping's illegitimate son.
If it weren't for the child's age, Chen Linjing would have been so disgusted that she would have thrown up her dinner last night.
Now, Song Haiping actually brought his illegitimate son to her daughter.
Chen Linjing thought of her daughter's tears when her classmates teased her for not having a father when she was in elementary school. With all kinds of emotions, she raised her hand with a cold face and slapped Song Haiping.
She had no feelings for this person when she knew that her ex-husband had cheated on her. She was just sad for her daughter and was afraid that her daughter would be hurt.
Song Haiping was stunned by the slap. He looked at Chen Linjing in a daze and didn't realize what had happened for a while.
"You're so disgusting. When you divorced, what did you promise Yuanyuan? You said that you would only have one daughter in your life. What's going on now? No one cares if you have a son with another woman, but why did you bring the child to Yuanyuan? Song Haiping, you're so disgusting. Get out of here! "
