But thinking about her son-in-law, who has always been steady, how could he not answer the phone? Could it be that her son-in-law is hiding something from the family? Thinking of this, Song's mother became more certain, and her heart, which had just been at ease, became uneasy again.

But the emperor is far away, how can I know?

By the way, you can call Zhao Yun and ask him. It’s worth spending some money on the phone call just to put your mind at ease.

It’s too late today, so we can only call again tomorrow. After Song’s mother thought of a way to solve the problem, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"What? He's injured?" Song's mother was sitting in the house watching Panpan play, answering the phone in her hand. Suddenly, her voice became several decibels louder.

Panpan's hands trembled and she stared at her grandmother without blinking.

"Yeah, didn't Political Commissar Gu say that?" Doesn't that mean he didn't say anything? Zhao Yun thought to himself, this is bad. Why did he blurt it out without thinking? Wasn't that just looking for trouble? But now it's too late to make amends. Words spoken out are like spilled water, and you can't take them back even if you want to.

"I just know now. No wonder I felt something was wrong when he didn't answer the phone a few days ago. He was hiding it from us. This kid is really..." Song's mother was furious. They were already married, but he was still so unstable. However, she couldn't say anything more serious. After all, her son-in-law was working for the country and the people. It was a righteous cause, but he couldn't be like this.

"Sister-in-law, just pretend I didn't say anything. Besides, Political Commissar Gu has recovered now, so you don't have to worry about him. It's all my fault." Zhao Yun's face was full of regret. He could have just said it in a roundabout way, but how could he say it so directly? Isn't this destroying the relationship between the couple? Why did he do such a thing?

My daughter went on a blind date a few days ago. She was initially quite satisfied, but then she said the guy was a bit smooth-talking. She said she'd think about it again. Now that she's observed him, he's not bad. A man who can talk is always better than a blockhead. It really all stems from his tongue.

"Xiao Yun, this is none of your business. It was Xiao Jin who did something wrong. Just pretend you don't know." Mother Song naturally knew what Zhao Yun was thinking, and instead comforted her.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Yun was still worried, but she didn't tell her family about this, as she would inevitably be scolded if she did.

Zhao Yun has been observing the neighbors recently. After several days, she didn't find anything unusual. She gradually put her mind at ease, thinking that what happened a few days ago was just over.

But she didn't expect that it was because Song Zhi was too busy. Recently, their team was receiving investors from Hong Kong. Her parents were afraid that this matter would affect her studies, so they wanted to wait until the matter was handled before telling her.

The investor was a refined middle-aged man named Qin Penghui. As the saying goes, "There's no such thing as a wall that's impenetrable." Someone in the department quickly gathered information about the old man. Some said he was once a child from a poor family, smuggled abroad to make money, became the son-in-law of a shipping magnate, and then gradually took over the family business, leading to his current success. This shows how handsome he was in his youth.

"Hello, classmate!" Song Zhi was about to pack up and go home when he was suddenly stopped by an elegant male voice.

Song Zhi turned his head and saw that it was Mr. Qin, the investor.

"Hello, Mr. Qin, is there anything I can help you with?" Although Song Zhi was puzzled, he still stopped and asked politely.

Qin Penghui was staring blankly at the female classmate in front of him, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes. For a moment, he did not notice what the person in front of him said.

Although Song Zhi was a little impatient, she couldn't blame her for thinking too much. The main reason was that the middle-aged man in front of her was too weird, and his eyes were deep in a way that she couldn't see.

"I... want to ask you, are you interested in working in my company after graduation?" The middle-aged man suddenly changed his mind and asked with a smile on his face.

Song Zhi knew that Mr. Qin's company in Hong Kong was very large, with many shops and land, which showed how powerful his capital was, but she had other ambitions. "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Qin, but I still want to do my job well."

This meant a polite refusal. Qin Penghui said with some regret: "You can broaden your horizons there. If you are worried about your son and husband, you can go with us. I can arrange everything. You can think about it carefully and discuss it with my family." Qin Penghui's tone was a little anxious, and he wanted Song Zhi to think about it before replying him.

Song Zhi found Qin Penghui's attitude indescribably strange. Besides, all these benefits seemed unrealistic. For someone who wasn't even related to him to do this, he had to have some ulterior motive. "No, Mr. Qin, I've thought it through clearly, and I'm very satisfied with my current life," Song Zhi refused bluntly.

After Song Zhi left, Qin Penghui stared at her back for a long time, unable to recover. "She is ambitious, unlike me."

The assistant stood beside him, pretending not to hear anything and acting as if he was invisible. He didn't dare to respond.

When Song Zhi returned home, he told his mother about this. His mother also felt strange and asked, "What's the name of your investor?"

"The surname is Qin, and the name is Qin Penghui."

When Mother Song heard the word Qin, the spoon in her hand suddenly fell into the bowl, and the expression on her face became dull for a moment.

"Qin Penghui." The name was different, so it shouldn't be what she had in mind. How could there be such a coincidence in the world? Besides, if it was really him, why didn't he come to find her for so many years?

"Yes, Mom, do you know this person?" When Song Zhi saw his mother's reaction, he suddenly felt that things were not so simple.

"How could I know him? He is a wealthy businessman." Song's mother smiled and shook her head.

Seeing that her mother obviously didn't want to talk about this topic, Song Zhi stopped talking. However, she didn't expect that Qin Penghui would come to her house in person two days later.

"Xiaomei." Qian Penghui called out in a trembling voice when he saw the person who opened the door.

Mother Song looked at the person in front of her. Although more than 20 years had passed, she would still recognize the person even if he turned into ashes.

After realizing what was happening, he reached out to close the door, but Qin Penghui stopped him with his hand, "Let's talk."

"I have nothing to say to you." Song's mother had a cold face and didn't even look at him.

"What about your daughter? Don't you want her to have a good future?"

"My daughter is my own. I will accept whatever happens to her in the future, and she will accept it too."

"I want her to go to Hong Kong with me."

"You should ask her about this." Song's mother felt amused. She had already asked Song Zhi, but now he was asking her again.

"If you agree, I think she will consider it."

"Why, are you here now because you want a daughter?" Song's mother interrupted him impatiently and asked directly and clearly.

Qin Penghui was stunned, obviously not knowing how to respond. Even if he thought so in his heart, he couldn't say it.
