When Song Yuan arrived at the institution, many parents were also waiting outside.
Rong Ting was the last to come out. He was neither hurried nor slow. His face was expressionless, but when he saw Song Yuan, he smiled.
"Are you tired today?" Song Yuan asked as she helped him carry his schoolbag.
Rong Ting dodged. "Carry your own schoolbag yourself."
"Okay, are you tired today? You've had two classes in a row, and it's almost three hours in total."
Nowadays, children's schedules were very full. Song Yuan recalled that when she was five or six years old, she really played like crazy. Every day was carefree and carefree. Of course, this also led to her not having any talents to show off until now …
"I'm not tired." Rong Ting shook his head. "There are more things to learn in the palace."
Hearing him mention the ancient times, Song Yuan felt a little uncomfortable. This reminded her of Yung Heng.
"Yes, it must be very lively to celebrate a child's birthday today. Why don't we celebrate your birthday here and let the other children accompany you?"
Rong Ting thought of the scene of everyone singing the birthday song today and shook his head decisively. "Please don't."
"Why? It's more lively with more people."
"Not all children like to be lively." Rong Ting had put on some weight during this period of time, and his face was also chubby. It was a bun face. He was clearly a very cute child, but he always spoke in a serious and serious manner. It was really a contrast.
"Okay then." Song Yuan's tone was regretful.
"By the way, mother." Rong Ting thought of a very important matter. "Are the results of the paternity test out?"
Song Yuan looked flustered, but she quickly concealed it. "Why are you so anxious?"
"The last time I did a paternity test with mother, it only took two or three days to know the results. This time, it's been three days. I think the results should be out."
"…" It was really difficult to fool this child!
Song Yuan said helplessly, "The results aren't out yet. I called to ask. They said that there have been too many people doing paternity tests recently, and it's almost the New Year, so it will be a little later than usual. It should take a few more days. Besides, every place and organization is different. The one we went to last time … "She paused." It's more expensive! If it's expensive, it'll be faster. "
Rong Ting nodded, indicating that he understood.
Seeing that he didn't continue to pursue this topic, Song Yuan was secretly relieved.
When they were waiting for the traffic light on the sidewalk, Rong Ting unzipped his bag and took out a lollipop and a jelly from inside. "Here you go."
Song Yuan was surprised. "Who bought it for you?"
She didn't remember going to the supermarket to buy these snacks a few days ago.
Rong Ting was a little embarrassed, but he still chose to tell the truth. "The birthday girl's parents bought a lot of snacks and put them on the table. They took them all, and so did I."
"Gugu, you're so nice. You still remember your mother when you see something delicious." Song Yuan took the two snacks. "You really have to eat less candy these days. I've already made an appointment. I'll take you to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination in the next two days. Of course, we'll also have to see your teeth. Teeth are very important. If your teeth don't grow well, you might have to wear braces when you're older."
Rong Ting hadn't started to lose his baby teeth yet.
Song Yuan had also asked some dentists, and they said that most children start to lose their teeth at the age of five or six.
"I almost forgot to tell you something. Your grandfather and grandmother are here. They're at home now."
Rong Ting was really surprised this time. "Grandfather and grandmother are here? Aren't they on a business trip? "
Song Yuan thought to himself, Who asked the sky to be about to collapse?
"They passed by Beijing on a business trip, so they came to see you." Song Yuan lied without changing her expression.
Rong Ting was quite happy. "Mother, let's go faster. Don't let them wait at home for too long."
"Okay! Then let's have a running race! "Song Yuan pointed to the intersection in front of them." Whoever runs there first wins. "
Rong Ting: "Mother …"
This seemed a little childish, but seeing her eager look, he could only nod his head.
Song Yuan wouldn't yell at Rong Ting just because he was a child or her son. She ran very fast. Seeing Rong Ting trying to overtake her but failing, she was amused and laughed.
Her happiness was very simple.
She was very satisfied to play childishly with Gugu like this.
When they got home, Chen Linjing was sitting at the dining table eating takeout, while Song Haiping was sitting on the sofa eating his northeastern dumplings. He also ordered takeout.
Both of them were very happy to see Rong Ting back, especially Song Haiping. She hugged Rong Ting and swung him around. When she put him down, she pretended to be serious and said, "You've gained weight again. It seems that you've been eating well recently."
"Of course." Rong Ting wasn't used to this at first, but after a long time, he liked the feeling of being lifted up high. "A few days ago, I even had hotpot mutton."
"You eat well and sleep well every day. You're a child who enjoys life. Unlike Grandpa, who is busy 365 days a year."
The three of them tacitly concealed their inner panic and anxiety. At least in front of their child, they were happy and at ease.
Rong Ting was clearly full, but Song Haiping still successfully fed him dumplings.
The child had practiced Taekwondo today, so his physical strength was depleted quickly. He usually fell asleep around 9: 30. Today, after 9: 00, Song Haiping took over the task of telling a bedtime story. He used his deep middle-aged man's voice to tell the story of Water Margin.
Unknowingly, Rong Ting slowly fell asleep.
He had always been a deep sleeper.
After he fell asleep, Song Haiping carefully closed the door. He looked at his daughter and ex-wife, who were sitting on the sofa, and asked, "Will the family meeting be in the living room or the bedroom?"
Chen Linjing had already gotten up. "Let's go outside. If Rong Ting wakes up and hears us talking, it won't be good."
Although Song Yuan didn't think Rong Ting would wake up, she still wanted to keep this matter a secret for now.
"Well, I'll sleep here tonight. You've booked a hotel, right?" Song Haiping asked her.
Since the two of them got divorced, they hadn't slept in the same suite at night.
Chen Linjing didn't like to be clingy with her ex-husband. If it weren't for her daughter, she wouldn't even be able to breathe under the same roof as him.
"Yes, it's nearby."
Song Haiping held the car key. "Well, Yuanyuan and I will send you there. Let's talk outside. We can't stay outside for too long. After all, it's not good to leave the child alone at home."
"Okay."
When the three of them went out, they were very careful, afraid that they would wake up Rong Ting.
The hotel Chen Linjing booked was not far from the community. It was only a ten-minute walk, and even faster by car.
The air conditioner in the car was turned on, and the temperature rose in a short while. Song Haiping sat in the driver's seat. He turned his head to look at the mother and daughter sitting in the back seat and asked, "Will you go back in a few days?"
Chen Linjing glanced at her daughter and sighed. "I don't think this matter is that simple. Of course, you can go back whenever you want. But think about it, Rong Ting's father … Does he look like someone easy to deal with? "
Song Yuan: "…"
Song Haiping, who had always been at odds with Chen Linjing, agreed with her this time. "Be confident. He's not easy to deal with. I can see it at a glance! He definitely wants to use the identity of Rong Ting's father to trick Yuanyuan. "
"No matter what he's thinking, I don't think he's doing it to take on the responsibility of being a father like he said." Chen Linjing sighed. "As for saying that he's doing it for Yuanyuan, it doesn't seem right. I suspect that he wants to get involved with our family. After all, he's unfamiliar with this place and there's a risk of being exposed at any time. But if someone helps him, then it's different. He wants us to help him."
Hearing this, Song Haiping was enlightened. "I agree with your idea! That makes sense. Haha, as expected of an emperor, he's much more scheming than the average person. "
Song Yuan was a little confused. "But isn't it better if fewer people know about this kind of thing? I don't think … that's the case. "
"Yuanyuan, you trust others too easily. Indeed, the fewer people who know about this, the better. But we're different. Rong Ting is your child and our grandson. Even if it's for the sake of Rong Ting, we have to keep our mouths shut." Song Haiping's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. "With such a relationship, our mouths are tighter than the dead."
Chen Linjing was also very helpless. "We still have to discuss this matter properly. Song Haiping, you know more people in Beijing. Go and find out what's going on with the Xie family."
"Mm, Yuanyuan, what are you going to say to Rong Ting?"
Song Yuan also had a headache over this problem. She was silent for a moment. "I haven't thought about it yet. Let's think about it again. "
Chen Linjing and Song Haiping looked at each other. They couldn't make a decision for her on this matter, and they couldn't even suggest it. After all, they were only Rong Ting's grandfather and grandmother.
Song Yuan was, of course, very conflicted.
On one hand, she didn't want to lie to her about such a big matter from the bottom of her heart. Her parents had never lied to her since she was young.
On the other hand, she also wanted to protect Rong Ting. If she didn't know anything, it might be the safest.
***
In a large apartment in Beijing, Yung Heng stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He thought about everything that had happened today and actually laughed.
When he first married her, they would occasionally quarrel over Meng Qingrong. She thought that he was like his father, who couldn't tolerate a general whose achievements overshadowed his master's. She underestimated him too much. He didn't doubt the people he used, and he didn't use the people he doubted. When he first met Meng Qingrong, the two of them hit it off. He admired Meng Qingrong's character and ability, and Meng Qingrong also admired his understanding of the world. The two of them could be said to be close friends.
He always remembered that day. Although he hid his identity, he had already communicated with her. That day, he happened to get a luminous cup and wanted to go out of the palace to give it to her. However, when he arrived at the General's residence, he was told that she had gone to the temple with the General's wife and hadn't returned yet. He had no choice but to look for Meng Qingrong.
Meng Qingrong was drunk.
This was a very rare thing. Meng Qingrong didn't like wine, and he rarely drank.
Meng Qingrong was dead drunk. He asked the servant to prepare a hangover soup. There was no one else in the room.
He saw Meng Qingrong muttering and was a little curious. When he got closer, he heard him calling someone's name.
Yuanyuan.
Later, there were always people who guessed that he was afraid of Meng Qingrong. There were also people who thought that the General's residence wouldn't have a good ending, even if the General's residence had an empress.
How was that possible? He had never been afraid of Meng Qingrong in court. He even believed in Meng Qingrong's pure heart.
He cherished Meng Qingrong's talent. As long as he was in power, he wouldn't do anything stupid. However, on the other hand, he had a kind of jealousy towards Meng Qingrong that a normal man would have towards a love rival.
In the early years, when he heard her mention Meng Qingrong, he couldn't bear it. In her eyes, he couldn't tolerate the General's residence. He was a foolish and laughable ruler like his father.
Look, she had never really understood him. quot;
