Chapter 262
After a pause, he said something with a hint of meaning, "There are so many valuable things in this world. As long as you work hard and never give up, one day you will get what you want most."
Tian Xiaofeng suddenly felt full of motivation. He patted his chest and said to Lin Ziqiu, "Sister! When I make money in the future, I will buy you a car and take you for a ride every day!"
Lin Ziqiu curled the corners of his lips, "Okay, then you are not allowed to be lazy in the future, you must work hard to make money."
Song Hui's words can only comfort a boy like Xiaofeng who has never seen any storms.
Cars aren't cheap these days.
You can't even buy one if you have money. Most of the cars on the market are supplied to various units.
There are almost no private cars.
If someone like Tian Xiaofeng works as a waiter in a state-owned restaurant forever, he will never be able to buy a car in his life.
But Song Hui's casual remark, "It's not expensive at all," was enough to kill many ordinary people in seconds.
"I was planning to pick you up later, but I didn't expect you to get up so early. Have you had breakfast yet?"
Song Hui tried hard to get along well with Lin Ziqiu. Knowing that she cared about Tian Xiaofeng, he deliberately asked Tian Xiaofeng, "Xiaofeng, what do you want to eat? I'll take you there."
Tian Xiaofeng first glanced at Lin Ziqiu, and seeing that she had no expression, he replied: "No need, Brother Song, I just ate mung bean cake, and I'm not hungry anymore."
"What about Xiao Qiu?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Ziqiu again.
But Lin Ziqiu looked at the old woman in the car.
"Mr. Song, you don't have to be so polite. Apart from the normal negotiations about the birthday banquet, I hope that we are just an employment relationship, and please just call me by my name."
Lin Ziqiu frowned slightly, expressing his displeasure.
She was somewhat disgusted by Song Hui's inexplicable flattery and closeness.
Song Hui's Adam's apple slid up and down. When facing Lin Ziqiu, he always felt helpless.
If I do too much, I’m afraid she’ll be annoyed.
If I do too little, I'm worried that she will become too unfamiliar with me.
At this time, the old woman in the car got out.
She took the initiative to stand next to Lin Ziqiu. Even though she was mentally prepared, Shen Wufan couldn't control her emotions and burst into tears when she saw Lin Ziqiu's face, which was 50% similar to her daughter.
This time it was Lin Ziqiu's turn to feel a little helpless. "Don't cry, I don't know you at all. What do you mean by this?"
Shen Wufan's eyes were red, his lips were trembling violently, and he murmured Lin Ziqiu's name, but he could hardly speak because of excitement.
Tears as big as beans flowed out of her eyes and slid down her wrinkled cheeks. She raised her hand to touch Lin Ziqiu's face, but her hand couldn't stop shaking as she stretched it out.
"Auntie..."
Song Hui’s voice came, which brought Shen Wufan’s thoughts back, and she hurriedly wiped away her tears.
"I'm sorry... little girl, when I saw you, I suddenly thought of my deceased daughter and lost control of my emotions. I'm really sorry."
Shen Wufan didn’t dare to tell the truth, fearing that the incident would be too sudden and scare Lin Ziqiu, and she would not be able to accept it.
But her actions just now have made Lin Ziqiu's guess more clearly verified.
Song Hui quickly tried to smooth things over, "It's fate that we met. We also happen to be going to the Shen family. Why don't you take my car and talk about the birthday banquet."
Tian Xiaofeng was naturally happy. He had been craving for rides since he took one for the first time yesterday. Today, he had the chance to take one more ride, which he was eager for.
Lin Ziqiu lowered her eyes and saw Shen Wufan's expectant look, and she felt a little reluctant, "Okay."
Seeing that she was willing, Song Hui and Shen Wufan were both delighted, "Then get in the car quickly."
"Boss...Song!" Tian Xiaofeng realized that his sister seemed to be deliberately keeping a distance from Song Hui, so he immediately changed his words, "Can I sit in the front passenger seat?"
"Of course!" Song Hui looked gentle and very gentlemanly as he opened the back door for Lin Ziqiu.
Lin Ziqiu didn't hold back and leaned over to sit down.
Shen Wufan sat with her in the back, and could vaguely smell the girl's pleasant hair fragrance. She scratched her hands nervously, not knowing how to get close to her.
"Miss Xiaoqiu, how old are you this year?"
Lin Ziqiu was slightly startled, "I'm twenty."
She almost blurted out her age in her previous life, but luckily she reacted quickly.
Shen Wufan asked again: “Are you married?”
"It's over."
Lin Ziqiu was a little puzzled by the question. It was obvious that Song Hui had other intentions towards her. In addition, judging from the reaction of the old woman in front of her when she saw her, it was obvious that she should know some basic information about her.
But she still asked, obviously as if she wanted to chat with her.
"Then... Is your lover good to you?"
"That's fine. He was worried about me coming to Su City this time, so he booked the guesthouse for me." Lin Ziqiu calmly revealed that she didn't want to stay anywhere else.
Shen Wufan understood, "Then he is really good to you."
She paused and asked tentatively, "Your mother must be very reluctant to let you go after you get married!"
When mentioning her deceased mother, Lin Ziqiu's eyes dimmed. She tilted her head to look out the car window, as if she was lost in memories of her mother, with a hint of red at the corners of her eyes.
"She died very young."
She has not yet revealed the truth about her mother's death to Lin Dahai.
After all, it has been so many years, and trying to find evidence is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
But no matter what, she will not give up!
Sooner or later, those who have hurt her mother will make them pay the price they deserve!
As her voice fell, Shen Wufan's heart also felt a sharp pain. She took a deep breath, not wanting to reveal any flaws in front of Lin Ziqiu, and tried hard to hide all her emotions.
"Sorry... for bringing up your sad story."
Lin Ziqiu shook his head. "It's okay. I made it through."
Although some things were not said out loud, Lin Ziqiu had almost guessed them.
The old lady in front of me is most likely my grandmother.
My mother was adopted by Grandpa Li when she was very young, so Song Hui brought her to Suzhou under the pretext of a birthday party.
There is no need for a paternity test; the fact that she looks 50% like her mother is enough to prove everything.
However, none of them pointed it out, so Lin Ziqiu had no choice but to play dumb.
Aunt Shen obviously didn't want to live in the Shen family, but she had no choice but to follow her brother's arrangements.
Lin Ziqiu just wants to hold her destiny in her own hands. She is unwilling to recognize either the Shen family or the Song family.
It doesn't matter whether you come from a scholarly family or a wealthy family.
The important thing is that she wants to be her own wealthy family!
Shen Wufan felt sorry for her, but he didn’t know how to get close to her, because Lin Ziqiu always gave people the feeling that she looked so close, but in fact, no matter what you said, she was indifferent and distant.
