Chapter 41 Adult Love Doesn't Need to Be Explained
When Song Yilin returned with the clothes, her mother-in-law took them and said, "Go back now. Qunqun is still young, and it's not good for her to be home alone. You have to go to work tomorrow."
Song Yilin: "I'll stay here with you. You're all too old to stay up all night."
Ms. Meng: "You silly child, what are you afraid of with me here? Besides, the old lady's condition isn't serious. The doctor said she'll stay in the hospital for a few days and then go home to recover before coming back to have the stitches removed. You should go home and get some sleep. Go to work tomorrow. I'll take care of things here."
Ms. Meng's words made sense, and Song Yilin did not insist further.
When Song Yilin went downstairs, she was surprised to see that Xiao Wang was still there.
Does Xu Qingmin mean he's going to bring her to his place today?
As soon as Song Yilin got into the car, Xiao Wang said, "Ms. Song, Mr. Xu said you had a long day, so go home and get some rest."
Song Yilin secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Please thank your General Manager Xu for me."
"It would be better if Miss Song thanked Mr. Xu in person."
Song Yilin looked at the city's night view. Although it was a familiar street, the feeling was different every time.
She used to drive herself to and from get off work, and she had to memorize the city's streets to avoid getting lost. In the future, she may not need to remember the city's streets anymore, but it seems she will also lose the freedom to hold the steering wheel.
She didn't know how long Xu Qingmin's ambiguous relationship with her would last, and Song Yilin didn't know whether Xu Qingmin would marry her, though it was highly likely he wouldn't.
Xu Qingmin is no longer the Xu Qingmin who would do anything for love.
She wasn't someone without any attachments.
Adult love doesn't need to be explained outright, nor is it so reckless.
Song Yilin got up early to prepare for work, and Xu Qingmin's Maybach was parked at the door again.
Song Yilin paused for a moment, then walked towards the black Maybach.
"Ms. Song, it's me again today. Mr. Xu is away on a business trip these past two days and couldn't take you, so he asked me to come and give you a ride. Where is your company located?"
Song Yilin looked out the car window and said calmly, "Take me to the hospital to get checked out first, then go to the company."
"Okay, Miss Song, what kind of music do you like to listen to?"
"I like quiet."
Xiao Wang immediately shut up and stopped talking.
Song Yilin first went to see the old lady's attending physician.
"Doctor, how is the old lady's condition?"
The doctor didn't even look up: "Which bed are you in?"
"One bed."
This time, he not only raised his eyes but also stood up: "Oh, Ms. Song, right? The old lady's problem isn't serious. It's just that she's old and her recovery is slower. I specifically reported this to General Manager Xu yesterday."
So this doctor was also found by Xu Qingmin.
Song Yilin didn't know how to describe her current feelings. Xu Qingmin had taken care of everything for her meticulously, but she was worried that he would have a strong desire to control and possess her, just like before.
After seeing the doctor, we went to the ward, and the old lady was already able to sit up and eat breakfast.
"Grandma, how are you feeling today? Does your head hurt?"
The old lady put her food down and said, "Look, I'm fine now, nothing's wrong. Let's get discharged."
Ms. Meng: "The old lady kept saying she wanted to be discharged from the hospital. I told her that with her current health, we would be at a disadvantage if we went to fight with the old lady from the Ke family."
Cai Hong: "Mom, just stay here and rest. If something happens when you go home, the doctor will spend even more money."
Song Yilin: "My two mothers are right. Stay here. The wards are so crowded right now. The surgery department hasn't kicked us out yet, which means we really can't be discharged yet."
Ms. Meng: "That's right."
After Song Yilin came down, she saw Xiao Wang eating breakfast.
When Xiao Wang saw that she was about to throw away her breakfast, Song Yilin quickly stopped her, saying, "You eat this first, I'll have a smoke."
Song Yilin is not addicted to smoking. When she was in Yishi, she was just a sales manager. A leader of a related department liked her very much, but his status made it difficult for her to refuse him directly. She heard that he liked virtuous wives and mothers and did not like girls who smoked, drank and loved to go clubbing.
So for a month, she spent every day in bars, drinking and smoking with Wang Qianqian. Before long, he gave up. He probably just wanted a wife. He was pursuing her normally, but his status made her afraid to refuse him in a normal way, so she had to resort to this extreme.
She didn't want to be anyone's wife or anyone's daughter-in-law.
After that person gave up, she stopped smoking and only drank when necessary.
Today, when she passed by the convenience store after leaving the inpatient department, she reflexively bought this cigarette and lighter.
Xiao Wang seemed surprised that his boss, a clean person, would like a woman who smokes.
This might be Song Yilin's small act of protest against Xu Qingmin picking her up and dropping her off in his car every day without her consent.
Upon arriving at the company, Xiao Wang spoke his first words of the journey: "Ms. Song, what time do you get off work?"
“I have my own car, you don’t need to pick me up, you go about your business.”
"My job is just to pick you up and drop you off, and I only make a few trips a day."
Song Yilin sighed and said, "I get off work at six o'clock, so you can arrive around six-thirty."
"Okay, I'll be there before six."
Song Yilin did not try to correct Xiao Wang's work methods.
She doesn't seem to have the right to correct it, since it doesn't harm her interests.
After she entered the office, Wang Qianqian followed her in.
"I saw a Maybach dropping you off at the door. Tell me, who dropped you off?"
“We work at a car dealership, specifically a luxury car brand. Haven’t you seen plenty of luxury cars?”
Wang Qianqian sat directly on her guest sofa, her eyes conveying an expression that said, "You can't fool me." She continued, "Jianghai City is full of wealthy people, but those consecutive license plates are unique to President Xu. How far have you two progressed?"
Song Yilin pouted, not intending to hide it from Wang Qianqian: "Xu Qingmin only helped find Grandma, it's nothing. He just had the driver take me."
Wang Qianqian said in a cheeky tone, "Oh, are you unhappy that he only sent someone to deliver it to you, or do you dislike that he sent someone to deliver it to you?"
"If I said I didn't like him sending someone to pick me up, would you think I was being dramatic?"
Wang Qianqian: "No, everyone has the right to choose freely. I don't like being picked up and dropped off by others. I like the feeling of holding the steering wheel myself. Even if it's a beat-up car, I like that feeling of being grounded."
So the fact that she and Wang Qianqian became friends is a case of birds of a feather flocking together.
Was this the reason you and Gu Sinan broke up?
"No, I just discovered that Wang Jingjing was secretly contacting Gu Sinan, and they even had dinner together. I just didn't want to become one of Gu Sinan's fishpond. But at first, I thought Gu Sinan and Wang Jingjing were just playing around. I never expected that Gu Sinan would marry Wang Jingjing."
"So when do you plan to end things with Gu Sinan?"
After a moment of contemplation, Wang Qianqian said, "I'll make sure they get divorced. I want Wang Jingjing and her mother to lose everything."
But now I realize that Gu Sinan is a little different, and I'm a little worried that we've gone too far.
"Take care of yourself and try your best to protect yourself."
Just as I was about to leave work, Mu Yunzi suddenly arrived.
"Miss Song, you seem quite spirited now. No wonder Xu Qingmin has taken a liking to you again."
Song Yilin didn't even lift her eyes from her desk.
"Miss Mu Yun, what brings you here today?"
"You're with Xu Qingmin now, right? I just want to tell you that Xu Qingmin will not marry you; his mother doesn't like you."
Song Yilin frowned: "Mu Yunzi, we're already 34 years old, almost 40. Why are you still competing with other women? Do you think it's interesting? Or are you here to show me how many years you've liked Xu Qingmin? Or how many years you've been with Xu Qingmin?"
Mu Yunzi looked somewhat embarrassed, her face flushing slightly: "I was standing up for Xu Qingmin."
"If you really feel sorry for him, why don't you marry him? Will he marry you?"
Mu Yunzi was speechless and left with reddened eyes.
Whether Mu Yunzi lived in Xu Qingmin's house or not, she didn't care about Mu Yunzi.
People who aren't on the same wavelength don't need to be bothered with; it's a waste of time.
