As Song's father closed his eyes again, there was no other sound in the car until it stopped.
"Dad, we're home." Tang Zexing reminded.
Song's father said "hmm", opened his eyes and got out of the car. Tang Zexing followed behind Song's father respectfully.
The door opened, and the mother and daughter sitting on the sofa in the living room stood up subconsciously when they saw that it was Song's father who came back. Song Jingya was relieved to see that Song's father looked good, and was about to explain the company rumors as she had discussed with Song's mother.
"dad…"
However, as soon as the name came out, Song's father slapped Song Jingya in the face without waiting for her to continue.
Song Jingya was stunned. Even because her father hit her too hard, half of her face was still numb after the beating.
Tang Zexing seemed to be shocked by this scene as well, but he immediately reacted and quickly spoke to comfort him: "Dad, don't be angry, let's talk it over."
Father Song pointed at Song Jingya, his eyes full of coldness: "Talk to her nicely, will she listen? Wicked girl, you shouldn't have let her join the company in the first place."
Song Jingya also reacted. She had always looked down on Tang Zexing, thinking that he was a bastard. As a result, she was beaten by Song's father in front of the bastard and said that he shouldn't have let her join the company in the first place...
She felt embarrassed for a moment, and her eyes turned red.
Song's mother hurried over to hug Song Jingya, her eyes red: "Hubby, I know, but I asked Yaya, and it really wasn't her who spread the news."
"If it's not her, then who is it?" Song's father didn't believe what Song's mother said at all.
Song Jingya finally couldn't hold it in any longer, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Why do you think it was me? I said I didn't do it, and that's it. If you don't believe me, go ahead and investigate. If you find evidence, you can kick me out of the Song family. Why are you putting the blame on me without even investigating anything?"
Father Song frowned, and there was a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
Song's mother also took the opportunity to persuade him: "Husband, this is indeed the case. You can go and check it out. Don't wrongly accuse the child."
Tang Zexing also kindly said, "Dad, it's not necessarily my sister. Maybe it was just spread accidentally."
Song Jingya turned her head and glared at Tang Zexing fiercely: "Get out of here, who is your sister? Stop pretending to be nice to me, you bastard."
Song's father's expression, which had just relaxed a little, darkened again. Song's mother's expression changed as she held Song Jingya down.
"Yaya!" Mother Song's tone was a little harsh.
Song Jingya instantly realized that she was excited again. She bit her lower lip tightly until her mouth was filled with the smell of blood.
She knew she couldn't be impulsive. That bastard Tang Zexing definitely had bad intentions. Being overly impulsive would push Song's father onto Tang Zexing.
Song's father didn't care about Song Jingya's last blunt remark. He just snorted coldly and turned to go upstairs.
Tang Zexing also tactfully left the living room.
Song Jingya's tears fell again, and Song's mother felt distressed seeing her daughter like this.
After a long sigh, Mother Song spoke.
"Yaya, if you give Tang Zexing a cold look in front of your dad, you're slapping him in the face. Your dad may not think much of Tang Zexing, but he definitely cares about his own face."
Song Jingya pursed her lips and said nothing more, but she also agreed with her mother's words.
…
On the other side, when Lu Jinghuai and Lin Yan walked home, only Lu Yingqian was reading in the living room.
"Brother, sister-in-law, you are back!" Lu Yingqian subconsciously looked up when she heard the noise.
Lin Yan was also a little surprised when she saw Lu Yingqian: "Why hasn't Qianqian returned to her room yet?"
"Wait for you, Aunt Liu. Uncle Chen is old, I'll let them rest first. I'll wait for you here."
The Lu family employs a lot of servants, including cleaning ladies, drivers, chefs, and bodyguards.
But apart from the bodyguards, only Uncle Chen and Aunt Liu would live in the Lu family, and the other servants would come at regular intervals or on a regular basis.
Lin Yan was also somewhat touched. It was indeed different to have someone waiting for her at home. She went straight over and hugged Lu Yingqian: "Qianqian is so nice."
Lu Yingqian felt a little embarrassed, and Lu Jinghuai on the other side did not join in the fight between the aunt and sister-in-law.
I had planned to go back to my room and take a shower while Lin Yan was chatting with Lu Yingqian, but my cell phone rang.
Lu Jinghuai glanced at the phone. There was no note, just a string of numbers. It looked familiar, and his expression became more serious.
"I'm going to the study. If I come back to the room late, you can go to bed first and don't have to wait for me." Lu Jinghuai reported to Lin Yan, who was laughing and joking with Lu Yingqian on the sofa.
"Okay, go to bed early after work." Lin Yan didn't say much.
After the two confirmed their relationship, Lu Jinghuai basically stopped staying up late in the study. If he went to the study at this time, it must be something important.
"Sister-in-law, you and my brother have a really good relationship." Lu Yingqian suddenly spoke, with a hint of envy in her eyes.
"Is Liang Huo not nice to you?" Lin Yan joked with a smile.
Lu Yingqian blushed and quickly covered Lin Yan's mouth. She subconsciously turned her head to look upstairs and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the study door was closed.
"Sister-in-law, how do you know..." Lu Yingqian didn't say anything else, but Lin Yan understood what she meant.
"How do I know you two are together?" Lin Yan laughed: "It's obvious when a woman is in love."
Lu Yingqian's face turned even redder, but she couldn't help but lower her voice and ask, "Then...does my brother know about this too?"
"I should have guessed that Liang Huo had feelings for you. I don't know if you've confirmed your relationship. After all, he...is not as sensitive as me when it comes to emotions."
Lin Yan said with a smile, and Lu Yingqian breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Yan looked at the blushing girl in front of her and suddenly became curious: "How did you and Liang Huo get together so quickly? It seems like you haven't had much contact?"
Lu Yingqian didn't hide it from Lin Yan and spoke honestly: "At the beginning, I would see him every time I went to the library, and then he would occasionally ask me out to play..."
Lu Yingqian was a little shy when she said this: "Then he confessed to me."
"I want to give it a try." Lu Yingqian's eyes curved, although she was sure that she was Lu Yingqian and could stay in the Lu family with peace of mind.
But Lu Yingqian has always been someone who doesn't like to bother others. Because her brother and sister-in-law were busy, she returned to North City and didn't leave the house for several months, until she met Liang Huo...
"Sister-in-law, I don't know what our future will be like, but now I want to give it a try with Liang Huo."
Lin Yan looked at Lu Yingqian and felt inexplicably relieved. The timid little girl who lowered her head when they first met had become so graceful and confident. She inexplicably felt like her daughter had grown up.
The aunt and sister-in-law chatted for a while, and it was really late until Lin Yan went back to her room to wash up.
Because at the beginning, Lu Jinghuai really didn't plan to wait for Lu Jinghuai to return to the room, but planned to sleep first. Then she closed her eyes for a long time but couldn't feel sleepy at all. Was she suffering from inexplicable insomnia?
Maybe there's someone missing around me?
