Chapter 190 He's Back

When Song Yilin arrived, the people from Jinrun Group were already there.

And he's also the boss of Jinrun.

"Mr. Jin, it's an honor to have you here. I'm so sorry I didn't greet you properly."

"President Song, we're not strangers, so there's no need for such formalities. Xu Qingmin hasn't been doing very well lately. If you have time, you can go and see him."

I didn't expect that President Jin would bring up Xu Qingmin as soon as he arrived.

Xu Qingmin used to like taking her to different occasions. This President Jin had some connections with Xu Qingmin.

"Okay, I'll find some time to go back and see the kids after I'm done with this busy period. It's not easy for him to take care of the kids all by himself."

Mr. Jin spoke as if to a close friend: "He has no troubles. His Xu Group is so profitable. I just felt sorry for him being all alone, so I said something out of turn. Let's get down to business."

Song Yilin took President Jin to Chen Yan's old office.

Song Yilin directly stated her conditions.

Mr. Jin glanced at it and pushed the folder back: "This price, even when Chen Yan was around, he never quoted this price."

In business, Mr. Jin, who had just exchanged pleasantries, had already revealed his true colors.

“Mr. Jin, I know this price is indeed higher than the price Chen Yan offered you. But even if the price was lower before, Chen Yan wouldn't sell. Now I'm sincerely selling, but if I'm going to sell Chen Yan's assets, it wouldn't make sense for me to sell them for less than Chen Yan himself.”

Mr. Kim wanted to take a puff of his cigarette, but when he looked at Song Yilin's belly, he suddenly decided not to light it.

"But isn't Lijiang Group in dire need of money right now?"

“We are very short of money, and the banks won’t lend us any. If we can sell the dock, it will solve our immediate problem. But selling the dock isn’t the only way out. The dock is profitable, as you know. That’s why I’m selling it. I’ve already given a very fair price, so let’s not haggle.”

Mr. Jin was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "No wonder Xu Qingmin and Chen Yan like you so much. I also like your way of doing things, but I don't like women like you. I'm afraid if I marry you, you'll fight me for the family fortune."

Mr. Jin took the initiative to steer the conversation to a more relaxed atmosphere, which means he has already agreed.

"Mr. Jin flatters me. There is still a big gap between me and your wife."

Mr. Jin laughed heartily: "Alright, let's have a meal together."

Song Yilin asked Zheng Li to reserve a location.

No one smoked at this drinking party; Zheng Li and Xiao Zhang drank all the alcohol.

As soon as the dinner ended, Mr. Jin signed the document.

On the way back, seeing that Zheng Li wasn't so drunk, he said to her, "Find some time to go in and talk to Chen Yan about this."

Although Zheng Li had drunk quite a bit, she could still turn around and say to Song Yilin, "Okay."

Song Yilin said quietly, "I hope Chen Yan won't blame me."

Zheng Li glanced back at Song Yilin: "Actually, I was already quite surprised that it could sell for this price. President Chen won't blame you. He had been hesitant to sell it anyway."

Song Yilin closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

She was upset because President Jin said Xu Qingmin wasn't in good condition.

When she left him, Xu Qingmin developed depression, and she feared that he would suffer from it this time as well.

Tell Xu Ming that she needs to go back to Jianghai City.

As soon as Xu Ming heard that she was going to take a plane, she went straight to the airport.

"Mr. Xu, you don't need to go through all that trouble. I'll be back soon."

"You're heavily pregnant, how can I let you go alone?"

It's good to have someone by your side.

It was almost noon when we arrived in Jianghai City.

Song Yilin originally planned to book a hotel and go see Xu Qingmin the next day.

As a result, Xu Ming directly pulled her away, claiming that it was unsafe and unhygienic for a pregnant woman to stay in a hotel.

Song Yilin still refused: "President Xu, it's inconvenient for me to go back."

"What's inconvenient about it? You can't live with my son right now, so why can't you live with me?"

Song Yilin couldn't refuse Xu Ming's request and had no choice but to go back with her.

There's no such thing as an unhygienic or unsafe hotel when you're in a star-rated hotel; I just want to take her home.

Xu Ming did indeed take her to the main building, but when they passed Building No. 1, she said, "Do you want to go check on Guan Qun? They're all asleep. You can sneak a peek at Guan Qun before coming back to sleep. My second bedroom is ready for you; you can go straight in and sleep when you get back. I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep first."

When she arrived at Building No. 2, Bai Guanqun was already asleep.

She gave Guan Qun a light kiss and then prepared to leave.

As a result, they ran into Xu Qingmin, who had come out for a drink of water.

Xu Qingmin was stunned when he saw her at home.

She called out uncertainly, "Yilin."

Song Yilin didn't open her mouth, but answered with her nose: "Mmm."

Xu Qingmin was a little incredulous and went straight up to hug Song Yilin.

It seems like they embraced each other only after thousands of years.

Although he had already broken the bottom line he had set for himself by doing this, he kept telling himself that he must keep his distance from Song Yilin because she had that certificate, but in the dead of night, he wanted to indulge himself.

I want to smell Song Yilin's scent.

It took a long time before he finally released Song Yilin.

"Why are you back?"

"I heard from Mr. Jin that you weren't feeling well. I was worried you might have fallen ill again, so I came back to check on you. Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, just a minor one."

Song Yilin didn't know what the differences were in the appearance of people with depression, so she looked at it carefully again.

She's just lost a little weight.

“You’ve lost weight. We’re not young anymore. Being thin makes us look older. More exercise will be good for your condition.”

Xu Qingmin let out a rare hearty laugh: "What you're saying sounds like the advice of an old married couple."

Song Yilin let go of Xu Qingmin's hand, went to the refrigerator to find something, and planned to make Xu Qingmin a late-night snack.

"Yilin, you're pregnant and it's tough on you, don't stay up late."

"I already slept on the plane, so I'm not sleepy now. Let me make you a midnight snack. Eat well."

Xu Qingmin sat at the table, greedily watching Song Yilin's every move in the kitchen.

Song Yilin made a bowl of noodles for Xu Qingmin and brought one for herself as well.

After she got pregnant, she did have a better appetite. When she was pregnant with Bai Guanqun, she vomited so badly that she didn't have a good appetite this time.

Seeing that Song Yilin had such a good appetite, Xu Qingmin's appetite also improved, and he finished all the noodles that Song Yilin had cooked.

Have you had any prenatal checkups recently?

Song Yilin put down her chopsticks and took out a stack of prenatal checkup reports from her bag.

"These are my prenatal checkup reports from this period. You can look at them if you want."

Xu Qingmin didn't look at it directly, but took it to his study to make a copy.

"Why are you making copies? You can take a look and you'll be done in no time."

Xu Qingmin returned the original to Song Yilin and kept the photocopy for himself: "Since you're not by my side, I don't know how the child is doing. If I miss you and the child in the future, I can take this out and look at it whenever I have time."

Song Yilin felt as if a feather had brushed against her heart.

"I will make a copy and send it to you after each of my prenatal checkups."
