Chapter 444

Yuan Jing did not ask any further questions. After Song's father came back, the family of three sat around the dinner table and had a not-so-warm dinner. Song's father and mother were obviously worried, and Yuan Jing was the calmest one.

After the meal, Yuan Jing didn't want to see Song's father and mother in trouble, so he took the initiative to say, "Dad, Mom, I'm not a child anymore. What did those three people come to our house for? That person mentioned me, so I think it has something to do with me."

He could see clearly that Song's father and mother were in trouble because of him. If they recognized him as the Song family, their son Yuan Jing would be able to obtain better resources, especially since Yuan Jing had almost had an accident outside the city before. Song's father and mother wanted to give their son better resources.

"Old Song..." Mother Song didn't know how to start. She had always known that Father Song was an orphan. Although they both had the last name Song, she had never thought that Father Song would be related to the Song family in the capital.

The reason why Song's father also has the surname Song is that there was a "Song" character sewn on the corner of the clothes he wore, so the director of the orphanage gave him the name Song Jieshan.

Father Song rubbed his face fiercely and said, "Let me tell you. Xiaojing will know it sooner or later. Xiaojing, you know that Dad grew up in an orphanage. In fact, Dad's family is still alive, but they were separated during that era. Now they have come and want to recognize our family. Dad is in a dilemma now. Should I recognize them?"

"Dad, do you want to recognize me?" Yuan Jing raised his eyebrows.

Seeing his son's expression, Song's father laughed: "Xiao Jing, why aren't you surprised at all?"

Yuan Jing also smiled: "Just keep your surprise to yourself. Judging from the attitude of the three people just now, they are from a prominent family, so why are you so embarrassed, Dad? I guess that family didn't give us much choice."

Song's mother pushed Song's father and said, "Look at you. You can't see as clearly as your son."

Father Song showed a proud expression. Such an outstanding child is their son. "Xiao Jing, you are right. They are from the Song family in the capital. Yes, that Song family you know. My mother is the second wife of the head of the Song family, Yang Jiahui. Unfortunately, she has passed away due to illness. The current wife of the Song family is the third wife of the head of the Song family. My mother only has me as her child, so the people in that family are all my half-siblings."

Speaking of brother and sister, Song's father felt that perhaps the other party might not be willing to acknowledge him, after all, the difference in status was too great.

"What they said is right. Your mother and I are old and don't have much to think about. But it's different for you, Xiaojing. If the Song family lets something slip through their fingers, it will be enough for you to develop well. Mom and Dad don't want to delay you because of our ideas. Besides, my mother was thinking about me before she passed away. Apart from other things, I think I should go to her grave to pay my respects."

Dad Song was still very grateful for his mother's kindness. He was not an unwanted orphan, but was forced to be separated from his mother because of the situation at the time. Knowing that someone was always thinking about him and trying every means to find him, Dad Song felt sad. It was a pity that his mother had passed away and he would never be able to meet her in this life.

Song Ma patted Song Dad's hand. Yuan Jing could understand Song Dad's thoughts and advised, "Dad, let's get our identities back in an upright manner. If not for anything else, just for my grandma's kindness. Grandma must want Dad to go back."

Song's father's eyes were red, and he nodded and said, "Well, I'll listen to you."

Yes, his identity is not something shameful. He is his mother's child, the son that his mother will never let go of until her death. He should go to the grave to pay homage to the old lady as his mother's son, tell his mother that he is back, so that his mother can rest in peace in the underworld.

"Dad, I'll ask someone about the situation of the Song family in the capital, so that I don't go there in the dark and get sold out and have to count money for others." Yuan Jing reminded.

Song's father was amused: "Why should we be plotted against?"

"Of course I have. Apart from other things, Dad doesn't think that no one will be eyeing the inheritance left by our grandmother, right?"

Father Song was stunned. He had never expected this. His heart, which had been a little sour and warm just now, turned cold in an instant. He thought for a while and said, "Then we just want our share, and then buy another property in the capital. If we can't afford it, we can rent one. I think the Song family should be able to solve the problem of your household registration and schooling, Yuan Jing."

"Well, that's good." Song's mother also nodded. In fact, she was also nervous about returning to the Song family. Compared with Song's father, she really came from an ordinary family. She had no confidence in going to such a wealthy family. Of course she would be happy if they could not live together.

Yuan Jing turned around and told Tang Siyao about this. Tang Siyao told him that he would arrange the house and asked Yuan Jing to just come to the capital.

Yuan Jingle said: "In what capacity can I introduce you to my parents?"

Tang Siyao was stuck. Yes, they were so far apart. What was his relationship with Yuan Jing? Would Song's parents be willing to live in the house he arranged? Tang Siyao smiled bitterly and said, "It's obvious that we couldn't be closer, but now you have to do it secretly. Tell me, how are you going to compensate me?"

Yuan Jing chuckled: "I'll go to the capital to accompany you right away." This is companionship, not compensation.

Tang Siyao's eyes became warm. It didn't feel good to have such daily phone contact. He couldn't wait to have this person by his side.

Even though they made the decision, Song's father and mother couldn't sleep well that night, and they had dark circles under their eyes when they woke up the next day. But because of the decision they made last night, they felt much more at ease. No matter how big the Song family is, the three of them don't want to get involved. They just want to get what they deserve and live their own lives in peace.

Of course, Song's father and mother didn't know it at the time, and sometimes they couldn't help themselves.

The next day, Yuan Jing did not go out. He stayed at home with his parents waiting for the people from the Song family. At around nine o'clock in the morning, the three people came again. One of them was the assistant of Song Chenglue, the eldest son of the Song family. In other words, none of these three people were real members of the Song family. From this we can see the attitude of the Song family towards Song's father. It is impossible for Song's father not to have any feelings at all.

Father Song put forward his own request: "I can go to the capital, but there is one condition. I hope my son can go to school in the capital."

Population mobility in this era is much more difficult than before the appearance of alien beasts, with many restrictions. It is relatively easier for the Xuanneng warriors who have made contributions, so Song's father made such a request.

Assistant Tao had a confident smile in his eyes. He didn't think that this trip would not go smoothly. Even though he gave Song Jieshan one more day to think about it yesterday, in his opinion it was just to save face. This family would not have a second choice. If there was a chance to return to the Song family, who would be willing to live such an ordinary life?

In his opinion, such an opportunity presented to this family of three was like pie in the sky. He was so happy that he went crazy. Didn't you see dark circles under his eyes? He must have been so excited that he couldn't sleep at night.

Yuan Jing glanced at Assistant Tao and drooped his eyelids. It seemed that the uncle, whom he had never met, did not have much affection for them, otherwise he would not be so perfunctory and indifferent to the assistant beside him. The assistant's attitude represented the attitude of his uncle.

In fact, if the Song family in the capital had really been looking for his father over the years, it would be impossible for them to find the whereabouts of their family only now. In the final analysis, it is only because the current head of the Song family has no shortage of sons, and the family has not had time to develop feelings with the second son who left his side at a young age, so he is just an insignificant existence.

If Song's father was of no use to Song Chenglue, would Song Chenglue specially send someone to bring the three of them back?

Song's father didn't have high demands, so the two sides quickly reached an agreement. Song's father enthusiastically wanted to invite them to dinner, but was politely rejected by Assistant Tao. He only stayed for half an hour and then left in a hurry. It was agreed that he would come to pick up Yuan Jing's family to the capital after the formalities were completed.

After negotiating the terms, they were about to leave the city where they had lived for decades. Song's father and mother felt both reluctant and uneasy. They were reluctant about the house, and uneasy about the Song family in the capital. They were afraid that the Song family would think they were petty and that their son would be bullied by the Song family.

But since they have decided to leave, Song's parents have to quit their jobs, and Yuan Jing's transfer procedures must be completed. If they are busy, they won't think too much about it.

On the other side, Assistant Tao, who had left the community, called Song Chenglue in the capital to report the situation here: "Mr. Song Jieshan has agreed. We only need to complete the transfer procedures for his son Song Yuanjing, and then he can go back to the capital with us. Mr. Song Jieshan has no idea about his life experience. When we came and explained it to him, he was skeptical until we showed him evidence. He hopes to pay homage to his mother after going to the capital."

The person on the other end of the line was Song Chenglue, the eldest son of the Song family. He was a serious middle-aged man in his early fifties. Because he took good care of himself, he looked younger than Song Jieshan. He lowered his eyes and said, "On the way back, you should talk to him about the current situation of the Song family and let him understand why it took forty years to bring him back."

Assistant Tao understood and said, "I understand. I will get this done."

Song Jieshan must be made to realize that the only person he can rely on in the Song family is his eldest brother Song Chenglue. The current Madam Song and her children are the least reliable. If it weren't for them, Song Jieshan might have returned to the Song family long ago. Would Song Jieshan not hate the people in the third house after hearing this? Even if he didn't hate them, he would still feel resentful in his heart.

"Well, I trust you to do the work, come back as soon as possible."

"Yes, sir."

Song Chenglue hung up the phone with a smile on his face. He believed that when his younger brother came back, the Song family would be very interesting. He had watched with cold eyes for so many years, how could he not know that his father had long forgotten about his younger brother and only had his younger brothers and sisters in his eyes. Even he, the eldest son, was left behind. How could he feel happy about this?

This Song family can only belong to him, Song Chenglue. He has waited long enough. What else can his younger brother have besides the support of the old man? When Song Jieshan comes back, can the old man really remain indifferent? His son lives such a miserable life, I am afraid the old man will also lose face.

It's better for a person to be honest. Only an honest person will be obedient. He values his only son very much. For the sake of this son, Song Jieshan will listen to him more.
