Compared to Song Qinghe's bewilderment, Song Yiren and Zhao Chunxiang appeared extremely calm.

They knew their son and daughter-in-law's nature all too well, and neither of them thought it was a big deal.

They often find themselves getting all lovey-dovey without considering how others feel.

Even when they were taken away for interrogation, it didn't stop them from being affectionate, which explains why Song Qinghe felt uncomfortable watching them.

The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with helplessness.

They quickly pulled Song Qinghe aside.

Song Yiren asked with concern, "Good child, have you settled in these past few days? Has that boy from the Lu family bullied you?"

Song Qinghe shook her head and said, "No, Grandpa, Lu Zhaolin is quite nice to me."

She was telling the truth; she even suspected that even if everyone in the world treated her badly, Lu Zhaolin wouldn't treat her badly.

When Song Yiren heard her say that, and saw that Song Qinghe's face showed no sign of being wronged, he was finally relieved.

People's hearts are unfathomable; they are never truly cherished when they obtain people and things easily.

Given the Song family's current state of decline, it's entirely possible that Lu Zhaolin might turn his back on them.

Song Yiren was worried that Lu Zhaolin would take Song Qinghe away but then become irresponsible and neglect her, which would be troublesome.

He was filled with all sorts of worries, and his heart was constantly in his throat.

Zhao Chunxiang felt the same way, but she also knew that her husband didn't mean anything by it.

He was just worried that his granddaughter would be wronged, so he took the initiative to speak up.

“Xiaohe, that’s not what your grandfather meant. He was just worried that you would be wronged but was too embarrassed to say it.”

“We believe in Lu Zhaolin’s character, but as much as we believe, when it comes to you, we can’t help but have all sorts of worries.”

"Your grandfather has sighed a lot these past few days since you left. If it were before, he would have come looking for you!"

"Grandma, I understand." Song Qinghe said softly. If she didn't even understand this simple principle, then she would have lived in vain for so many years.

Her family's worries were written all over her face; anyone who wasn't stupid would understand.

Song Qinghe not only understood, but also felt a warm glow in her heart.

She remembers all the kindness they showed her.

Zhao Chunxiang nodded. Her daughter-in-law was right; Song Qinghe had truly grown up.

She used to be well-behaved, but she was nowhere near as sensible as she is now.

It's more like a beautiful but fragile peony, which could fall into someone's hands at any time.

But the current Song Qinghe is completely different. She can withstand any storm or hardship.

When Zhao Chunxiang was taken away, I thought Song Qinghe might not make it through.

Surprisingly, Song Qinghe not only survived, but also seemed even stronger.

Even if she didn't say it, I could guess how difficult Song Qinghe's journey had been.

People are adept at judging others by their status; after the Song family's downfall, who knows how many difficulties she will face.

However, when Song Qinghe saw them, she looked relaxed and did not complain about the bitterness and hatred she had experienced.

Zhao Chunxiang felt that Song Qinghe must have gone through a lot to be like this.
