Chapter 90 This is the bottom line
Song Zhibang, who was standing aside, listened to his daughter's words. Although his face was still indifferent, he was actually very shaken in his heart.
He knew that although his daughter was a little willful, she was not an unforgivable person.
As a father, he felt mixed emotions.
After all, she was his biological daughter, connected by blood. No matter how heartless he was, he could not truly give her up.
As long as she is really willing to reform herself, her family can accept her.
Although that's what she said, who can guarantee that she won't do it again?
This forgiveness does not come easily and it takes time to verify.
Although his tone was still a little cold, it was not as harsh as before, as if the high wall had inadvertently cracked. "We'll talk about this later. You get out of the way first, we have to get back to work."
When he said this, his tone was low but not angry. It was more like a father's final restraint and belated tolerance.
Song Xiaoshan nodded repeatedly, her eyes slightly red, but she forced a smile of grievance, "Okay, okay, I'll go, I won't block your way."
She knew that now was not the time to explain, and she also understood that she needed to do more than just verbally submit.
Seeing the usually arrogant Song Xiaoshan now so humble, Song Xiaomei was a little uncomfortable for a moment.
How could the sister who used to be so arrogant and domineering at home become so soft and even humble?
When did my sister become so soft?
This thought turned over in her mind several times, but she never asked it out loud.
Maybe only my sister knows the answer.
But they ignored her and left.
No one looked back, not even once.
This may be another kind of benevolent indifference and also a silent test.
Along the way, Song Zhibang was much silent.
The cheerful and cheerful appearance he had with the two girls before seemed to be just an illusion. As soon as Song Xiaoshan appeared, especially after she gave in, he became less talkative.
That heaviness was like an invisible mountain pressing on his shoulders.
Song Xiaomei was a little worried that her father would be soft-hearted.
After all, the father and daughter have a deep affection for each other, but if he trusts her again, will he be let down again?
But Song Xiaoshan is also her biological sister. If she can really reflect on herself and correct herself, she can't hold a grudge against her forever.
It is always difficult to draw a clear line between love and hate, not to mention that blood is thicker than water.
Song Zhibang kept a straight face and didn't say much, and Chen Yan and Song Xiaomei didn't feel comfortable saying anything more.
The three of them silently accompanied the man walking in front, knowing in their hearts that he was struggling.
Everyone returned to Zhu Jingchen's residence in silence.
The sunlight filtered through the leaves and fell on the ground, making even the footsteps seem a little empty.
Song Zhibang had to pick up the old man in the evening and couldn't take them back to the manor.
This matter is of high priority to him, and the old man's affairs are never vague.
Zhu Jingchen smiled and said, "Uncle Song, I will go back with them, don't worry."
He knew that his words carried enough weight, and he was also clear about his place in this family's heart.
Song Zhibang patted his shoulder, full of trust: "Thank goodness you are here."
The tone was no longer as harsh as before, and even had a rare warmth.
In his heart, Zhu Jingchen is not much different from his own child.
Although his surname is not Song, he is more reliable than those biological sons.
Compared to those useless children, there are still many good children around him who are worthy of his love.
Thinking of this, his eyes became more determined.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Song Zhibang took a last look at Zhu Jingchen and his two daughters, nodded, and walked away.
Zhu Jingchen nodded: "Uncle Song, don't worry."
His voice was not loud, but steady and reliable, just like his personality.
After breaking up, they took a taxi to return to the manor.
Night has quietly fallen, lights on both sides of the street have been lit up one after another, and cars are moving through the twilight.
Sitting in the car, Zhu Jingchen asked, "Have you finally settled on the house?"
This sentence broke the slight silence in the car, like a reminder and also like concern.
When Song Xiaomei mentioned buying a house, her expression immediately darkened. The corners of her mouth drooped slightly, revealing a slightly disappointed look. "Alas, I didn't buy it. I'm still a little short of the money."
Zhu Jingchen frowned, lowered his head and thought for a moment before asking, "How much difference is there?"
Hearing this, Song Xiaomei stretched out her hand without hesitation, spread out five fingers, then folded two fingers, and made an "eight" gesture, "Eight thousand yuan!"
There was a hint of reluctance in her tone, as if she was trying to excuse herself.
After hearing the number, Zhu Jingchen was stunned for a moment, then fell into a brief silence, as if he was weighing something.
After a moment, he slowly said, "If you only need this little money, you can take it from me first."
Because he had just borrowed more than 20,000 yuan and deposited it into Chen Yan's account some time ago - the money was originally intended to help her cope with possible financial pressure.
And they only spent less than 15,000 yuan on this trip to Su City, so there was actually a surplus on the account.
It can be used to fill the gap in the house payment.
Shen Yan, who was standing next to him, was stunned when she heard these words. A look of astonishment appeared on her face, and she blurted out: "Are you crazy?"
She wanted to test Zhu Jingchen's reaction and see if there was a chance to use his funds.
But even she didn't dare to make this request easily. She had suppressed those thoughts and stopped thinking about them.
Unexpectedly, he was the first to bring it up!
Her so-called self-control can't resist this temptation at all!
Zhu Jingchen noticed the change in her expression, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he looked at her gently and explained softly, "I didn't say that casually. I don't usually spend that much money myself."
He spoke very seriously, as if he had already made up his mind to help them overcome their difficulties.
Shen Yan had almost agreed in her heart, but her reason quickly pulled her back to the edge of her emotions, and she finally shook her head decisively.
no!
She can't accept this money!
How could she take it from Zhu Jingchen alone?
She has her own persistence and bottom line.
Then she forced a smile and said firmly, "It's okay, Brother Wei Qing, we will be able to save enough money on our own soon, just trust us."
Song Xiaomei, who was standing nearby, nodded repeatedly in cooperation, grinning and saying, "Yes, yes, Brother Wei Qing, don't worry, we are very capable!"
She was unwilling to accept loans because of her own principles; and she also believed that as long as she continued to work hard, she would be able to achieve her goals.
After listening to this, Zhu Jingchen nodded gently, his eyes showing understanding and appreciation, "Okay, you can do it."
He raised his head and made a secret decision in his heart: I have to work harder and try to catch up with them.
The group returned to the manor, and when they reached the fork in the road that separated the boys' dormitory from the girls' dormitory, everyone prepared to go back and rest.
Before leaving, Zhu Jingchen stopped, turned around and looked at Shen Yan, and said in a gentle but somewhat persistent tone: "The eight thousand yuan is really not a big problem for me. Do you want to think about it again?"
