Lin Yan looked at Lu Jinghuai with a little surprise. Lu Jinghuai seemed to understand what she meant and took the initiative to explain.
"I know Grandma Lin. Her personality is completely different from Mother Song's. She is a very understanding person and she took good care of me back then."
"She came here to attend Song Jingya's funeral. If she knew what happened between us and Song Jingya, she would definitely not let me go to the Song family."
Lin Yan still believed in Lu Jinghuai's judgment, and believed that the old lady of the Lin family must be a good person.
"So, this time, I'm afraid it's Mother Song who wants us to go over."
Lin Yan couldn't help but frown. "She asked us to go over there. Why? I thought if something like this happened, she would hate us to be buried with Song Jingya."
"I don't know, but it's very likely that he wants to do something." Lu Jinghuai answered frankly.
Although he didn't know what Song's mother was planning this time, he knew it was definitely not a good intention. However, he didn't refuse because he wanted to go and take a look, which was also a way to lure the snake out of its hole.
In his opinion, it would be better if Song's mother had no bad intentions. If she was too obedient, it would be difficult for him to find any evidence against the Song family.
"I'll go there when the time comes, you don't have to go..." Lu Jinghuai spoke again. He wanted to go there to see what Song's mother was planning.
But he was also somewhat wary of Song's mother, as he was worried that he would not be able to protect Lin Yan well in the Song family.
Lin Yan immediately understood Lu Jinghuai's idea, frowned slightly, and decisively refused: "The Song family invited us both to go together. What if she takes action if I don't go?"
Lin Yan had no doubt that Song's mother hated her more than Lu Jinghuai.
Lin Yan's eyes were firm. Lu Jinghuai was silent for a moment and finally compromised.
…
At around 11 o'clock in the morning, Lu Jinghuai and Lin Yan arrived at the Lin family's house. It was the aunt of the Lin family who opened the door. When she saw that the visitors were Lu Jinghuai and Lin Yan, she hurriedly invited them in.
When she heard the noise, Grandma Lin, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, also stood up subconsciously?
"Grandma." Lu Jinghuai's expression relaxed a little when he called out. Lin Yan followed behind Lu Jinghuai and called out.
Granny Lin's smile was somewhat forced and worried, but she said nothing, only said: "Jing Huai, Jing Huai's wife is here."
"Grandma, please accept my condolences." Lu Jinghuai looked indifferent, with his eyebrows slightly drooped.
Grandma Lin was stunned and understood what Lu Jinghuai meant. She sighed but said nothing. She thought that because of Song Jingya's extremism, Lu Yingqian almost got into trouble, so she couldn't say anything else.
At this time, Song's mother came out from the kitchen. When she saw Lu Jinghuai and Lin Yan, her eyes flickered, and she spoke.
"Jing Huai is here. Your grandma has been talking about you ever since she came to Beicheng. I suggested that you come to our house for dinner. It won't disturb your work, Jing Huai, right?"
There was no resentment towards Lu Jinghuai and Lin Yan in Song's mother's expression, as if the incident with Song Jingya had never happened, and Lin Yan seemed to be meeting Song's mother for the first time.
It's clearly hypocritical, but he doesn't give up on matters of face or friendship at all.
Lu Jinghuai's expression was normal. "I didn't interrupt her work. Grandma came to North City, so I should treat her to a simple meal."
Mother Song smiled and said, "It's the same if you eat at my place. You can chat with your grandma. The food in the kitchen is almost ready. I'll go check it out."
Song's mother went into the kitchen, and Lu Jinghuai and Lin Yan sat down in the living room. Although Grandma Lin was worried, she didn't know what Song's mother was doing, so she urged her to say something more.
Grandma Lin could only talk to Lu Jinghuai, and naturally brought up Yaya: "I heard a few days ago that Jinghuai's wife is pregnant. How old is the baby now? Is it a boy or a girl?"
Grandma Lin is in Huaicheng, and Song's mother doesn't tell her about what's happening in Beicheng, so she doesn't know much about it.
When talking about children, Lu Jinghuai's eyes softened a little and he nodded.
"Well, she's been born for four months now, it's a little girl."
"Hello, little girl. Be well-behaved. You will be your parents' sweet little cotton-padded jacket in the future." When Grandma Lin said this, she smiled a little more, and the atmosphere finally became a little warmer.
However, no one noticed that in the kitchen, Song's mother's eyes were particularly cold when she heard the conversation between several people.
Her daughter was dead, and the people who should have died with her daughter were sitting there intact, with a happy family. Their voices sounded harsh to her.
Song's mother's eyes were about to be filled with hatred, but she couldn't, she wanted to avenge her daughter.
Mother Song didn't want to listen to Lu Jinghuai and Grandma Lin talking about those things anymore, so she interrupted their conversation directly from the door.
"Mom, Jing Huai, the food is ready. We can go into the restaurant to eat."
Perhaps it was Song's mother who specifically instructed her to do so, so the kitchen cooked seven or eight dishes and she also opened a bottle of wine and poured it for everyone.
Song's mother said to Lu Jinghuai, "Your Uncle Song bought this at an auction a few days ago. Normally, it's just me and your Uncle Song at home, and we don't drink much, so it's a good opportunity to try it today."
Mother Song poured a round of wine for everyone at the table, including Grandma Lin. The Lin family knew how to drink when they were young, but their health has deteriorated over the years, so their family members don't allow them to drink anymore.
Today, Song's mother poured wine, saying that the wine was not strong enough, so she did not refuse.
However, Lu Jinghuai politely declined Mother Song's offer of wine: "Aunt Song, I have to drive back later, so I won't drink."
Mother Song paused for a moment and wanted to say something.
Granny Lin nodded in agreement, "Of course you should. You can't drink and drive. Safety is the most important thing."
Song's mother pulled the corner of her mouth and did not continue. When they were halfway through the meal, Song's mother suddenly toasted with Lin Yan and Lu Jinghuai.
"Jing Huai, Xiao Yan, it's my fault for not teaching my daughter well, and now this is my retribution. If you blame me, you have every right to do so. I should apologize to you on Yaya's behalf."
Lin Yan subconsciously looked at Lu Jinghuai, who shook his head: "Aunt Song...it has nothing to do with you. We are also very sorry that Yaya has had this incident."
Lu Jinghuai drank tea instead of wine, but Lin Yan beside him also picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine.
Lin Yan doesn't drink much and can't tell the quality of wine. She just feels that this wine tastes really good.
After lunch, Grandma Lin also had to return to Huaicheng in the afternoon and her luggage needed to be checked.
Lu Jinghuai and Lin Yan naturally did not disturb them. They stood up and said goodbye and left. Neither Grandma Lin nor Mother Song tried to keep them.
Even in the car, Lin Yan was still a little confused: "Did Song's mother really just ask us to have a meal and apologize?"
Lu Jinghuai didn't answer either. He frowned and thought about Song's mother's abnormality today. It seemed that she was a little too normal, which was also a kind of abnormality.
"Don't think too much. There will always be loopholes in the Song family. But now that Song Jingya is gone, Song's father has taken a liking to Tang Zexing even more."
Perhaps Song Jingya’s accident really tired Song’s father, and he also suffered some backlash, or perhaps it was because Song’s father only had one son left and paid more attention to him.
Recently, Tang Zexing has indeed had more say in Lu's company, and it won't be long before he will be able to interfere in Song's business.
