Chapter 97 Madam wants to see a play, so I will set up the stage

Xiao Jinchuan didn't argue: "Yes, it's all my fault!"

A punch on cotton...

"What are your plans for today?"

"Stay home with you."

Song Yunqing was surprised: "Aren't you busy? Why do you feel a little more free now than when you were on the island?"

"The leader is considerate of me and lets me rest for two days."

Song Yunqing turned over, lay down in the quilt, and wrapped himself tightly. The gloomy sky was perfect for taking a nap.

Unfortunately, it is destined not to happen.

Just a few minutes after I lay down, there was a knock on the door. It was a little boy delivering a letter.

"Song family? Finally remembered that you have a daughter like me?"

Xiao Jinchuan took the letter, glanced at it briefly and threw it aside.

"No."

"No, guess whether he wants to humiliate me or curry favor with you this time?"

As soon as Song Yunqing said this, Xiao Jinchuan immediately understood what she was thinking.

"Since Madam wants to see a show, let's go see what kind of stage the Song family has built."

There is not much change on the outside of the Song Mansion. Although it is not top-notch luxury, it exudes heritage and sophistication everywhere.

But as soon as I entered the house, I immediately realized something was wrong.

An air of decay and old age filled the air. The furniture was obviously old, with signs of wear and tear on the corners.

Most of the bookshelf was empty, with only a few unattractive decorations left to fill the space.

Even the color of the curtains seems a bit gray.

Song Yaohua was waiting at the door early, with an almost flattering smile on his face.

Seeing Xiao Jinchuan getting out of the car, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically: "Captain Xiao, you are truly honored to have us here. Please come in."

His attitude towards Xiao Jinchuan was almost humble, completely devoid of his previous arrogance.

Xiao Jinchuan ignored him, turned around, reached out to the car, and carefully helped Song Yunqing down.

When he saw Song Yunqing getting off the car later, his smile froze for a moment, and his eyes were complicated, with embarrassment, scrutiny, and even a hint of imperceptible resentment.

He was very sure that Song Yunqing was responsible for the warehouse theft, but without evidence, he had no way to deal with her.

Thinking of this, he was quickly covered up by an even thicker fake smile: "Yun Qing is back too, good, good, then I feel relieved!"

Song Yunqing looked at him with a half-smile: "That's quite interesting. Xiao Jinchuan is my husband. If he comes back, how can I not come back?"

Song Yaohua's face looked a little ugly as he retorted at the first sentence they said when they met.

Song Yunqing was in a good mood, his eyes sweeping across the strange yet familiar house inconspicuously.

Seeing the empty antique display cases and the layout that was clearly downgraded, he sneered in his heart but didn't show it on his face.

After we sat down, the nanny brought us tea. It was no longer the fragrant top-grade tea of ​​the past, but ordinary tea that even had a slightly stale taste.

Song Yaohua explained awkwardly, "This year's new tea hasn't arrived yet, so I'll just have some for now..."

Song Yunqing just picked up the cup, sniffed it lightly, but didn't drink it.

Instead, he said to Xiao Jinchuan, "This tea is much worse than the one your teacher gave you."

Xiao Jinchuan nodded in agreement: "If you like it, I will shamelessly ask the teacher for more next time."

Song Yaohua's face flushed red and he was too embarrassed to speak.

If that damn girl hadn't stolen everything, leaving him with no money to take care of things, the Song family wouldn't have fallen into such a state of decline.

Forget about good tea, they only brew this kind of tea that they look down upon when guests come.

If someone hadn't suddenly approached him to do business these past two days, and implicitly asked him to act as a matchmaker between him and Xiao Jinchuan, he wouldn't have known that his cheap son-in-law had suddenly become a celebrity in the army.

Not only did he become the head of the group, he was also Mr. Guo's favorite student.

If I had known earlier, I would have treated him better, but who would have thought that he was so lucky and could come back safely after going to such a place.

He regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.

Song Yaohua forced a smile and said to Song Yunqing, "Yunqing, you look good. I hope you didn't suffer on the island. If you need anything, just tell your family."

Song Yunqing smiled faintly, looked around, and said with concern, "The house seems to have changed quite a lot. I remember that Qianlong famille rose porcelain vase used to be here, and that Zheng Banqiao painting of bamboo and rocks. Did they put it away? Or did they change the decor recently? It seems quite... empty."

Every time she said something, Song Yaohua's face turned paler.

Those were his stolen treasures!

Song Yaohua's chest felt tight and he could barely breathe. He could only say dryly, "Ah... yes, I put it away... I put it away."

"Hmph, you still have the nerve to say that? You took those things away, didn't you? You're just crying wolf, pretending to be sympathetic."

An arrogant voice sounded behind him, and Song Yunqing knew who it was without even turning around.

Sure enough, Song Yunyi and Deng Jinyu came down from upstairs hand in hand.

Before Song Yaohua could scold her, Song Yunqing softly fell into Xiao Jinchuan's arms and said in a wronged tone, "How could they wrong me like this?"

Xiao Jinchuan almost couldn't hold back his laughter, and he felt that Song Yunqing was so adorable.

He forcefully held Song Yunqing in his arms, completely ignoring Song Yaohua's ugly expression.

"Since someone doesn't welcome us, then we won't bother ourselves any more. Goodbye!"

"etc."

This time it was Deng Jinyu who spoke, and she looked at Song Yunqing with complicated eyes.

I used to think that this biological daughter was the least like me, but now I can see that her every move is influenced by me.

Blood ties are indeed hard to give up.

"Yun Yi, apologize!"

Song Yunyi's eyes widened, and she pointed at herself in disbelief: "Mom, you want me to apologize?"

"You want me to apologize to someone who can do nothing but embarrass himself? I..."

"Yun Yi!"

Song Yaohua's angry shout completely frightened Song Yunyi. She looked at Song Yunqing and spoke reluctantly, "I'm sorry, I was too harsh with my words just now."

Song Yunqing shrugged: "Although you apologized, I won't say it's okay."

The scene was a little awkward for a moment.

Fortunately, the servant came over and said that the meal was ready, so we moved to the living room to eat, which broke the awkward situation.

Song Yunqing had also lived in the Song family for a period of time. As soon as the dishes were served, he could clearly see that they were much simpler than before.

It seems that the Song family has had a hard time in the past six months.

Song Yaohua was still boasting, "Try this specialty dish that I specially ordered from Fengze Garden."

Song Yunqing took a bite, put down his chopsticks, and said to Xiao Jinchuan, "It tastes okay, but it's not cooked enough. I still prefer the private restaurant you took me to last time."

She turned to Song Yaohua and said kindly, "Dad, if you want to eat there next time, tell me. Jinchuan knows the owner and can book a table for you."

Xiao Jinchuan continued to nod in cooperation.

Song Yaohua was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he had no way to deal with Song Yunqing, so he could only swallow his anger.

After dinner, Song Yaohua finally revealed his true intentions. Rubbing his hands, he said to Xiao Jinchuan, "Captain Xiao, I heard that the army has a supplies procurement project recently. Look... our Song family has done this kind of work before. Can we..."

Song Yunqing understood in his heart that love had played such a big game and was waiting here.

Xiao Jinchuan put down his teacup, his expression calm and his tone businesslike: "Comrade Song, military procurement has strict procedures and review standards. It requires open bidding. All qualified companies can participate in the competition."

He didn't even want to call him father-in-law.

Song Yunyi was staring at Xiao Jinchuan in a daze. She had only thought that he was good-looking before, but why didn't she realize that he was so charming?

If I had married him, she would be the officer's wife now.

For a moment, she couldn't help but feel some resentment towards Deng Jinyu.

If it weren't for her, I would have married Xiao Jinchuan long ago.

"How could that be? You're a favorite of the old commander now. If you just say a word, the deal will go to our Song family. It's just a matter of a word..."

"Comrade Song, please respect yourself. I have no right to interfere in organizational matters. If the Song family is truly capable, I look forward to seeing their name on the winning bid."

After Xiao Jinchuan finished speaking, he didn't even look at Song Yaohua's face, which had turned pale. Instead, he said to Song Yunqing naturally, "It's getting late. We should go back. We have to visit Minister Li tomorrow."

Song Yunqing also stood up and took a last look at this house that was full of memories but also chilled her heart.

Before being found and taken back to the Song family, she was full of expectations. She wondered whether her biological parents could get along well with each other, who were the family members, and how their relationship was.

But all expectations were shattered in this magnificent house.

Now she no longer has any expectations of them.

Her eyes swept over the old and haggard father in front of her, whose plans had failed.

There is no joy in my heart, only a faint sense of relief and alienation.

"Dad, we're leaving now. Take care of yourself."

Her tone was polite yet distant, as if she were talking to a stranger.

What could be more desperate than knowing that your son-in-law is excellent but not being able to get on board?

Seeing the two people walking to the door, Song Yaohua suddenly spoke.

"Yun Qing...you...will be good to your brother, right?"

Song Yunqing subconsciously thought of Song Yunzhe, the man who was willing to protect him with his life, even though they had no blood relationship.

"Of course I..."

Suddenly, she looked at Deng Jinyu touching her belly and instantly understood what Song Yaohua meant.

Yes, if you think about it carefully, Deng Jinyu is only in her early forties, so it is entirely possible for her to have a second child.

She didn't care. She didn't want the Song family's property anyway. To put it bluntly, all the valuables were in her own space.

But it’s not necessarily the case for Song Yunyi.

Song Yunqing smiled: "I am just the adopted daughter of the Song family. It seems that my brother has little to do with me, right, Song Yunyi?"

Song Yunyi's face was so ugly that it couldn't be described!

When did these two old guys get pregnant without her knowledge?

Wasn’t it agreed that all the family property would be hers?

Now she not only bows and scrapes to Song Yunqing, but even plans to have a boy. Is there still room for her in the family?

"How could that be? You are his biological sister, you are a family connected by blood!"

Song Yaohua was so eager to get involved with Song Yunqing that he didn't notice that Song Yunyi's expression had completely changed.
