Upon entering the house, Song Qingrong called out, "Mom, Xu Ruo is here."
"Bring the dishes out."
"Coming, coming! You guys start cooking. I'll serve the ribs. Xu Ruo loves these ribs the most, so let him eat more later," Song's mother replied while busy in the kitchen.
Hearing her words, I felt a warmth in my heart, but at the same time, I felt more guilty and upset.
Living in this world, we always want to have the best of both worlds and be worthy of everyone around us, but many things in this world seem to make it difficult for us to have both.
Just like me now.
However, I did not show my feelings. I was very clear about the role I needed to play this time.
Song Qingrong's good friend.
I'm staying here temporarily.
There's also Xu Ruo, whom Song's mother knew.
After I put my things down, I smiled and went into the kitchen. Looking at the busy Mrs. Song, I said, "Auntie, don't bother, I'll do these."
"Since you've come all this way to keep Qingrong company, you should go and have a good chat with her."
"Qingrong often tells me that she misses you."
"It's only been a short time since we last met, why are you already saying such polite things to your aunt?" Song's mother said with a smile, "How could I not know my own daughter?"
"How could she possibly miss her old mother? She'd rather I nag her less often."
"But you... I heard you're getting a divorce?" Song's mother's voice suddenly lowered a few decibels.
I was taken aback; I hadn't expected her to suddenly ask me that question.
But then I thought, the Xu family is a wealthy family in Binhai after all. Although my affair with Gu Nianci hasn't completely blown up, some rumors will definitely spread. Besides, Song Qingrong should have mentioned it too.
Thinking of this, I didn't hide anything and nodded with a smile, saying, "Yes, I just finished the divorce proceedings today, and I'll be divorced in a couple of days."
"Sigh." Mrs. Song sighed, saying with some regret, "Speaking of which, I've met that girl, and she was indeed a good match for you. I really didn't expect things to come to this."
“However…” Song’s mother looked at me again, then glanced outside the kitchen, and seemed to be sure that Song Qingrong hadn’t come over before saying, “However, for a young man as outstanding as you, divorce is not a big deal.”
"Just find another one."
At this point, Song's mother suddenly changed the subject.
What do you think of my daughter?
"Huh?" I was startled by Song's mother's words and it took me a while to realize that she wanted to introduce Song Qingrong to me.
This made me feel a little embarrassed.
Song Qingrong and I have been together for a long time.
But I cannot say it.
After all, this was destined to be fruitless.
"What's wrong? You're not happy?" Song's mother said, sighing. "That's true. Even if you get divorced, my daughter is not good enough for you. I know what kind of person she is."
"Don't say that," I said with a helpless wry smile. "Qingrong is a good person."
Upon hearing my words, Song's mother's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said with a smile, "It seems you also have feelings for my daughter."
"Then Auntie will decide."
"You two are quite familiar with each other, so why don't you..."
"Shall we chat?"
I quickly shook my head and said, "Auntie, Qingrong is a good person, but we're not a good match."
"It's fine for us to be friends."
"Why is it inappropriate?" Song's mother said unhappily, "You are about the same age, and you have known each other for so long without ever having any conflicts. What does that mean?"
"In your young people's terms, that's a spiritual connection!"
"You really know a lot." I was both amused and exasperated.
Mother Song sighed, "I have to keep up with you young people, otherwise I won't be able to understand what those young people are talking about when I go out."
"But that's not important. What's important is what's going on between the two of you."
Song's mother looked at me again and said, "Auntie really thinks you two are a good match."
