Chapter 123 Spending Money to Buy Love
The two were close to each other, and Jiang Yining heard everything that Teacher Lin said to He Chi.
Jiang Yining asked, "Should we go back now?"
He Chi hooked the end of her hair with his long fingers and said, "Mom, Dad, and Aunt are at home now, and Grandma is fine. You have to get up early to go back to school tomorrow, so we can go back after get off work tomorrow."
He put Jiang Yining down and said, "You go ahead and do your work. I'll go call Song Xingjin."
After He Chi left the study, Jiang Yining sent a message to Zhang Qiao: [Song Xingjin and his grandmother had a fight over the blind date. The old lady was already in poor health and had a heart attack from anger. She is now in the hospital.]
Zhang Qiao was stunned for a while when she saw the message. She had heard Jiang Yining talk about the past of the Song family.
Song Xingjin and his sister have a very deep relationship with their grandmother.
If anything happened to Old Lady Song tonight, Song Xingjin would never forgive himself.
She couldn't ask Song Xingjin, so she said to Jiang Yining: "Ningning, if you know anything, tell me."
Jiang Yining: [Okay, He Chi is on the phone with Song Xingjin outside right now. I'll tell you if there's any news.]
After replying to Zhang Qiao, Jiang Yining glanced at the unfinished work on the table, hesitated for a moment, and finally got up and walked out of the study.
Jiang Yining walked into the living room and saw He Chi standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window talking on the phone.
He was wearing a black shirt and trousers, with one hand in his pocket. He stood straight with his back to her. He had a tall figure and a rather cold and noble temperament.
After living with He Chi for a long time, I rarely see him so serious in life.
She walked to He Chi and listened quietly.
After Song Xingjin on the opposite side finished explaining the current situation, he asked with concern, "Is your grandma okay?"
When He Chi noticed Jiang Yining coming over, he reached out to her and brought her in front of him.
He rested his chin on top of her head, encircling her and looking at the dazzling night view across the street together.
He Chi replied, "It's nothing serious. I was just worried for a moment. If Grandma Song wakes up, remember to tell me so I can tell her and let her rest assured."
Song Xingjin hummed, "That's it."
He was in no mood to talk to He Chi about anything else.
When Grandma He learned that her grandmother had been sent for emergency treatment, she fainted out of worry and anxiety.
The two elderly people were also worried about their grandchildren's marriage. Song Xingjin knew that He Chi's grandmother had put a lot of pressure on He Chi in the past.
But He Chi is a guy who is used to being a troublemaker. He has been annoying people since he was a child, and his family is used to it.
Now that He Chi has married peacefully, his family is so pleased that they want to go to his grandfather's grave to sweep the grave and pay homage to him. They wish he could inform all the ancestors that their He Chi has grown up.
Adults are extremely happy when a child who has always been naughty becomes a little more sensible.
On the other hand, I have been following the routine since I was a child, and have taken every step according to my grandmother's plan, and I have never let her down.
It's just that he refuses to give in on the matter of marriage, and things have come to this point today.
Song Xingyu, who was standing next to her, saw that her brother's brows were tightly furrowed, and they only slowly relaxed after hearing the doctor say that grandma was out of danger.
This time the old lady scared both the brother and sister.
Song Xingyu pondered for a moment and said, "Brother, grandma is just worried about us. She's afraid that we won't have anyone to confide in after she leaves."
"You've always been aloof, and I'm worried you'll end up alone. That's just the way the older generation thinks. They place a lot of importance on marriage. Don't be angry with grandma."
Song Xingjin felt very guilty at this moment and regretted talking back to his grandmother.
He saw that Song Xingyu's eyes were red from crying before and she was now crying again, so he took a tissue and gave it to her.
Song Xingjin said in a deep voice, "Brother, I understand. From now on, I will do whatever grandma asks me to do. Don't cry."
Song Xingyu looked at Song Xingjin and cried softly, "Brother, I'm just scared. I'm scared of losing grandma."
Song Xingjin patted her back gently to comfort her, "No."
"Brother, there's no need to tell grandma you should do whatever she tells you to do. Marriage is not a joke. Don't be like our parents, who ended up hurting both of us."
“It has to be someone you like.”
Song Xingjin reminded her, "We don't have a father."
Song Xingyu uttered an "oh" and didn't want to dwell on this. She asked, "Brother, are you in a relationship? If you are, just bring it to grandma first. We can talk about whether we can get married later."
"At least it gives grandma some hope."
Song Xingjin seemed to be thinking about something for a long time, then he nodded.
Song Xingyu didn't know what he was thinking. Did he listen to her or just give her a perfunctory response?
To be honest, if she were asked to marry someone she didn't like, she wouldn't want to, and her grandmother didn't want her to do that with her brother either.
It’s just that my brother is too repulsive.
She knew her brother was affected by his parents' failed marriage.
The two have been dependent on their grandparents since childhood. Their parents each have their own families and children, so they don't even remember that the Song family has two children of their own.
The brother and sister sat at the door of the ward waiting for Old Mrs. Song to wake up.
The hospital was really quiet in the middle of the night, with only an occasional nurse coming to check on her. Although the weather had just turned cooler, Song Xingyu felt inexplicably cold.
She shrunk her shoulders.
Seeing this, Song Xingjin took off his suit jacket and put it on her, saying to her, "Xingyu, you go back first. I'll stay here. I'll call you when grandma wakes up."
Song Xingyu rejected her brother's kindness. She shook her head and said, "I want to wait for grandma to wake up."
She looked at Song Xingjin with a helpless look in her eyes and said, "Brother, if grandma is gone, I feel like our family will be gone too."
Song Xingjin moved his lips, "Brother is always here."
"How can it be the same? It's just the two of us, and there's no elders at home. You work all day long. Let alone in the future, even now it's hard for grandma and I to see you."
Hearing this, Song Xingjin reflected on himself.
He remembered that He Chi had once complained that he was a ruthless work machine, and that apart from work, everything else was not worth mentioning in his eyes.
But Song Xingjin knew that he wanted to make Junxi bigger and stronger just to prove to his grandmother that he did not let her down and to let the outside world see that he could support the Song family.
After a moment of silence, Song Xingjin said softly, "It's my brother's fault. I will spend more time with you in the future."
"Don't." Song Xingyu raised her hand and patted his shoulder. "Brother, stay with grandma, take time to consolidate your love, and spend more time with your future sister-in-law. I've grown up and am no longer a child. You don't need to worry too much."
Song Xingjin originally wanted to say that he was not in a relationship, but after thinking about it, he did not explain.
He just snorted and said, "Don't care about you? Then go find that kid who cheated you out of money?"
When Song Xingyu heard him say this, she got angry. "I didn't look for him. Besides, what's wrong with me spending money to buy love?"
Song Xingjin was angry, "Is that love?"
Song Xingyu retorted, "I spend money to buy happiness, okay?"
It seems possible.
Song Xingjin looked at her smug look and warned her, "Don't let yourself be cheated of your money and your sex."
"You're the one who got seduced!" Song Xingyu asked him, "Do you think your sister is such a fool?"
Song Xingjin said in a very serious tone, "Yes."
Song Xingyu: “…”
She opened her mouth, but in the end had nothing to say.
After a moment of silence, Song Xingyu said, "Brother, I just feel lonely. Those so-called sisters and friends in the circle are all fake."
"Other people are willing to make me happy, but I know they're all after money. It doesn't matter. Giving them a little money makes me happy, and that's all I need. I know what's acceptable and what's not."
After a long while, Song Xingjin finally spoke, "Xingyu, you will meet the person who can truly bring you happiness in the future. Those are not happiness either."
It was almost dawn when Old Mrs. Song woke up.
Seeing that her condition had stabilized, Song Xingjin asked Song Xingyu to stay in the ward to look after her while he went out.
Outside the community, Song Xingjin found a place to park the car and hesitated for a long time before picking up his mobile phone to make a call.
When the call was connected, Song Xingjin felt a little nervous for the first time.
He asked, "Miss Zhang, I want to talk to you about something. Is it convenient for you?"
