Chapter 282: An Appointment



Song's father had little knowledge or contact with his mother-in-law. When he heard what Grandma Lin said, he was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at Song's mother beside him.

Mother Song also frowned: "Mom, didn't we agree yesterday to stay a few more days?"

Grandma Lin shook her head and said, "No, I'm an old woman who loves my bed and I'm also worried about things at home. And my daughter has to go out for internship too, so she can't stay here for long."

Father Song looked at Lin's eldest cousin in surprise: "She's already at internship age? Nan..."

Father Lin couldn't quite remember the eldest cousin's name, so calling her "Nannan" seemed inappropriate. He paused before continuing, "What major are you studying?"

The eldest cousin of the Lin family finished her breakfast, put down her bowl and chopsticks and responded obediently: "Uncle, I studied accounting and just started my internship this year."

"Internship this year? Why don't you come to North City for internship? There are more opportunities in North City." Song's father glanced at Song's mother. Seeing that Song's mother didn't say anything, he said, "My company is also recruiting accountants recently. If you come to North City, you can go to Song's and give it a try."

After Song's father finished speaking, he paused and added.

"Your aunt is lonely here too. If you come over, you can come and talk to her from time to time."

Song's father's words were sincere. He also noticed that after Song Jingya's accident, Song's mother's condition became more and more abnormal. He didn't want anything to happen to Song's mother. After all, she had been his wife for more than 20 years.

He thought that Song Jingya's death might have stimulated Song's mother. It might be better if Song's mother's niece could be in Beicheng to accompany Song's mother instead of Song Jingya.

After Song's father said this, Song's mother didn't react much, but Lin's eldest cousin looked at Lin's grandmother for help.

In the eyes of the eldest cousin of the Lin family, it was indeed pitiful that Song's mother lost her only daughter, but she really had no feelings for Song's mother and did not want to stay in Beicheng.

Grandma Lin understood her granddaughter's thoughts and said, "No, Nannan has already found an internship in Huaicheng. Nannan is a homebody and has never left home. I'm worried that she won't be able to take care of herself if she comes to Beicheng."

Grandma Lin rejected Song's father's proposal. Although Song's father was a little disappointed, he didn't say anything.

After breakfast, Song's father and Tang Zexing went out to work, and the Song family became quiet. Song's mother also suggested taking Grandma Lin out for a walk, but Grandma Lin refused.

Grandma Lin still felt sorry for her daughter. Song Jingya had just finished her funeral, so how could Song's mother be in the mood to go out?

After hearing the Lin family's grandmother's refusal, Song's mother paused for a moment and didn't say anything else. Instead, she said to the Lin family's eldest cousin beside her, "Your grandmother is old and doesn't want to go out. It's boring for you to stay at home every day. Go out for a walk when you have time. We have a driver at home. Just ask him."

The eldest cousin of the Lin family nodded obediently but had no intention of going out. Beicheng could come to play anytime, and their main purpose this time was to attend the funeral.

Mother Song seemed to have no objection to Grandma Lin's departure the next day. She stayed with Grandma Lin and talked a lot to her throughout the day.

That night, Song's father and Tang Zexing had social engagements and could not come back for dinner, so the table was a little deserted.

After dinner, Grandma Lin thought for a long time and finally knocked on her daughter's door.

When Song's mother opened the door, she was a little surprised to see Grandma Lin at the door. Grandma Lin looked at her daughter in front of her, sighed deeply, and spoke.

"Zhi'er, if life here becomes unbearable, come back to Huaicheng. Huaicheng is your home no matter what, and your mother is still alive."

Mother Song was stunned for a few seconds, then pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled: "Mom, what are you talking about? I am the wife of the Song family, why can't I live like this? I am living a good life."

Grandma Lin sighed, "Why didn't you tell us about your son-in-law's child?"

Grandma Lin was talking about Tang Zexing.

Song's mother was upset, but she managed to say something: "It was just an accident. He drank too much back then... It's all over now, and it doesn't affect me."

Grandma Lin looked at the persistence in Song's mother's eyes but said nothing, and finally sighed helplessly.

Her daughter was as stubborn as ever, and she still couldn't persuade her.

The next day, after breakfast, Grandma Lin and the eldest cousin Lin started packing up and preparing to leave.

The two of them didn't bring much stuff with them, so they packed up quickly. However, just as they were finishing up, Mother Song knocked on the door of the guest room where Granny Lin lived.

"mother."

Grandma Lin opened the door and saw Song's mother standing at the door with a cheerful look on her face. This was the first time in the past few days that Grandma Lin saw Song's mother looking so relaxed.

"Mom, you are taking the afternoon bus, right?" asked Song's mother.

After booking the train, Grandma Lin told Mother Song about it. When Mother Song asked again, she thought Grandma Lin didn't remember and nodded.

"Yes, at 3:30 in the afternoon."

Mother Song smiled and said, "It's not too late."

Grandma Lin was a little confused about what Song's mother meant, and looked at her with a slightly frown.

Song's mother said calmly, "Mom, I just contacted Jing Huai. He knows you're coming to Beicheng and wants to see you. I asked him to come to our house for lunch."

Song's mother's words made Grandma Lin frown, and there was something wrong in the way she looked at Song's mother.

Song Jingya’s accident is closely related to the Lu family. Even if Song Jingya was indeed too extreme and did something wrong, could Song’s mother really not vent her anger on others and let Lu Jinghuai come to her house for dinner?

There is also Lu Jinghuai, who did not show up at Song Jingya's funeral, and would take the initiative to ask to come to the Song family to meet her.

"Zhi'er, what do you want to do?" Grandma Lin looked directly at Song's mother in front of her and asked.

Song's mother, however, looked calm and composed. "I just thought that what you said was right. I can't blame anyone else for what happened to Yaya. But I have really treated Jing Huai as my own child over the years, and I didn't want to become estranged from him because of Yaya's situation. So when he asked to come and see you, I agreed."

Grandma Lin's eyes were cloudy, but she didn't believe what Mother Song said at all.

"Call Jing Huai and tell him I have a car at noon and don't have time to eat."

Mother Song also smiled, and looked at Granny Lin as if she were looking at a naughty child: "Mom, what you did is so heartbreaking for Jing Huai. I have already made all the arrangements here. Even if you are not here, I should let the young couple from the Lu family come here for a meal."

In an instant, Grandma Lin understood that her current thoughts could not change Mother Song's decision.

She felt inexplicably nervous as she looked at her smiling daughter in front of her.

On the other side, at the Lu family, Lu Jinghuai also frowned slightly. Lin Yan looked at Lu Jinghuai and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Mother Song said that Grandma Lin has come to North City and will go back this afternoon. She hopes we can have lunch there. Grandma Lin wants to see us." Lu Jinghuai said in a light tone.

"So should we go or not?" Lin Yan frowned slightly. She had an impression of the old lady of the Lin family. She was a very kind old lady.

Lu Jinghuai's expression was gloomy, and he nodded: "Of course I will go there."
