Chapter 973 My Brother is a Spare Tire (13)

"I am concerned about your safety, aren't I?" Song Shichu said without any guilt. "If you weren't my brother, I wouldn't bother to care about you."

"You heartless girl... Has anything happened at home recently? Is mom in good health? Please pay more attention to her. Sometimes when she is sick, she will endure it. You should persuade her to see a doctor and take medicine. Don't be careless, okay?" Song Shilu kept reminding her.

"I know. Do I need you to tell me this? Mom is not just your mother. You should not go to dangerous places and return home with your life. I don't want to travel all the way across the ocean to collect your body one day..." Song Shichu said unhappily.

"Don't curse me! Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm busy. Remember to tell me if you have anything. Take care of mother and yourself." Song Shilu hung up the phone after saying this.

Song Shichu listened to the beeping sound of his cell phone, and suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to share with Song Shilu the quarrel between Bai Lishuang and Meng Yuanye on the street tonight. However, she changed her mind and decided not to mention Bai Lishuang to him. What if this mention aroused his love for Bai Lishuang? So it was better to let Bai Lishuang disappear from his life completely.

Time passed quickly. Song Shichu graduated from university and found a job as a programmer in a large company according to the rules. She had excellent computer skills and was able to get along well in the company. She was soon promoted and given a raise. After saving money for two years, she bought a new house with three bedrooms and two living rooms and moved out of the old house. From then on, Bai Lishuang really stayed away from their home. Even if they were in the same city, as long as they didn't know the address, they might never meet each other in their lifetime. What Song Shichu wanted was that Bai Lishuang had no connection with their family, especially after Song Shilu quickly completed his graduate and doctoral courses and successfully returned to China for further studies.

Song Shilu was originally very talented in medical engineering. He also studied abroad in Country A and was almost detained by Country A and not allowed to return. Therefore, after he worked hard to return to China, he was actively invited by the National Institute of Bioengineering and became an important researcher who was heavily protected. Even if Song's mother and Song Shichu wanted to see him, they had to go through a lot of procedures and go through security checks several times.

Although she had not been able to see her son for a long time, Mother Song did not feel lost. Instead, she was very happy and proud. She felt that her son was working hard for the country, which was an honor, and she could not delay his work.

Song Shichu was also very satisfied, because in this way, Song Shilu was completely isolated from Bai Lishuang's world. With the protection of the country father, Bai Lishuang would never be able to see him.

Bai Lishuang had been in a passionate and abusive relationship with Meng Yuanye in the past few years. They broke up and got back together countless times, which made her parents exhausted. They even complained to Song's mother, saying that their daughter had found a rich boy but had such a hard time dating. If she had known earlier, she would have dated Shi Lu. After all, they grew up together and knew each other well...

When Mr. and Mrs. Bai said this, they were actually testing Mother Song's attitude, wanting to know whether she still supported Song Shilu and Bai Lishuang being together.

They saw that their daughter continued to tangle with Meng Yuanye without any result, but their daughter's best years were about to pass, so they were anxious. They wanted to find a replacement for their daughter, and when they looked for someone, they remembered Song Shilu, a neighbor who once loved their daughter very much.

Moreover, Song Shilu was already a young talent who had returned from studying abroad at that time. He had a promising future and a very respectable job. Moreover, he loved his daughter so much at the beginning. A man is destined to treat his young woman differently, so he would definitely treat his daughter well...

After thinking so much, I felt more and more that Song Shilu was the best candidate to be the son-in-law, so I came to find out Song's mother's attitude.

Mother Song was not stupid, so how could she not hear their probing? However, she fought back with all her might, and sincerely wished their daughter could finally marry that rich boy.

After Bai's father and mother realized that Song's mother no longer valued their daughter, they felt very depressed and aggrieved. If they had known that Song Shilu was so promising, they would have forced their daughter to be with Song Shilu even if they had to force her head! Otherwise, how could their daughter be reduced to such a bad reputation and be ridiculed for marrying into a wealthy family? She would have been enjoying a good life with Song Shilu a long time ago!

After regretting, Bai's father and mother couldn't help but feel displeased with Song Shilu, thinking that he was a grown man, but he changed his feelings too quickly. Shouldn't he always love his daughter? The feelings that disappeared after leaving the country were really thinner than paper, and they resented Song Shilu for being so unkind and ungrateful.

However, they didn't think about it. Relationships are all about mutual consent. No one should always like or wait for someone. Moreover, their daughter used Song Shilu's feelings to keep him as a spare tire. If Song Shilu knew about this bad behavior and still remained infatuated with her, wouldn't that be too cheap? Which man with self-respect could stand it?

In the original world, Song Shilu would remain infatuated and become a backup. On the one hand, when he knew Bai Lishuang had a boyfriend, he was already too deeply involved and unable to extricate himself; on the other hand, there must be a world consciousness suppressing his self-consciousness, otherwise, how could he, who is obviously a smart and rational person, be willing to be a woman's backup?

Mother Song was too lazy to even tell Song Shilu about her attempts on Mr. and Mrs. Bai, as she didn't want to affect her son's mood for research.

However, after returning home, Bai's parents could not help but complain to Bai Lishuang that the Song family looked down on their old neighbors after becoming rich. They also blamed Bai Lishuang for not being with Song Shilu in the first place, but hanging out with a rich boy. It would have been fine if she could successfully marry into a wealthy family, but she had been entangled for so long without any result, wasting her youth and beauty in vain...

Bai Lishuang's heart boiled when she heard her parents mention Song Shilu, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. She had been on and off with Meng Yuanye for the past few years, and had quarreled so much that she was exhausted physically and mentally. However, because the sunk cost of this relationship was too high, she was reluctant to end it completely, so it became a tasteless chicken rib that was a pity to throw away.

Because being with Meng Yuanye was not as happy as she had imagined, Bai Lishuang missed Song Shilu's obedience and meticulous care for her. So when she heard about Song Shilu again after many years, the thought in her heart took root and sprouted. She really wanted to see Song Shilu again and wanted him to continue to treat her like he did before...

So she tried every possible means to attend various class reunions, from elementary school to university, and finally she found out the phone number that Song Shilu had used recently.
