Chapter 70 A Loose Sand
After the host finished making some polite welcome remarks to all the guests, the guests were free to roam around.
Bai Guanqun ate all sorts of things with Xu Qingmin, and Song Yilin also followed Xu Qingmin around.
Xu Qingmin would introduce his wife and daughter to everyone he met.
Everyone present was shrewd and naturally understood that Guan Qun was not Xu Qingmin's biological daughter. No one would ask Xu Qingmin in public when he had such a big daughter. They would just say some polite things, praising Bai Guan Qun for being cute, taking after her mother, and being good-looking.
In such a large group of people, all of whom were prominent figures, Bai Guanqun was not intimidated at all when standing next to Xu Qingmin.
Communicate with people in a natural and open manner.
It seems that Ms. Meng has been well influenced by her father's strong personality; she is nothing like him.
What's meant to happen will happen. Song Yilin thought Xu Ming would make things difficult for her at the banquet, but Xu Ming didn't. Instead, she brought Bai Guanqun a cake.
"Eat up, have you never been to a banquet like this before?"
Bai Guanqun generously extended both hands as if to accept the plate.
"No, I've never been here before, thank you Grandma."
Xu Ming disdainfully let go, the plate falling to the ground. In a voice only Bai Guanqun could hear, she said, "You lowly thing, you dare to eat this?"
This unusual commotion began to attract the attention of those around them.
Bai Guanqun squatted down to pick up the plate from the ground, used the plate to scoop up the cake, and then wiped the remaining cake on the ground with a paper towel.
Song Yilin knew that her daughter was harboring bad intentions, but she didn't stop her.
More and more people gathered to watch.
Bai Guanqun's eyes started to redden, and he inhaled through his nose: "Grandma, you said last time that I was not qualified to eat those imported fruits, and today you said that I am not qualified to eat this cake, but I didn't want to come here. Uncle Xu and Mom made me come."
It seems that sending her to become an actress was the right decision. Bai Guanqun would never wrong herself. If anyone wrongs her, she will definitely find a way to get revenge.
This sentence sounds so pitiful and aggrieved that if you didn't know Bai Guanqun, you would really think she had suffered a great injustice.
Xu Qingmin, however, didn't realize that he actually glared at his mother.
This is a tactic that Song Yilin only uses in TV dramas when a green tea bitch tries to drive a wedge between the male and female leads. But Bai Guanqun uses it with such skill. This kid is getting more and more cunning as he grows up. I used to think she was like Ms. Meng, but now I think Ms. Meng might not have these kinds of methods.
He pulled Bai Guanqun and Song Yilin out of the crowd and said to Bai Guanqun, "Uncle failed to protect you. I'm sorry."
Bai Guanqun threw himself into his mother's arms and sobbed.
The people around them were talking quietly.
"Children are innocent too; adults' grievances should not affect children."
"This child is only 12 or 13 years old. He went with his mother to remarry and is now living under someone else's roof. It's not a good life for him."
Xu Ming's face turned green with anger.
Bai Guanqun peeked out from Song Yilin's arms and made a face at Xu Ming.
Xu Ming wanted to go forward, but was stopped by Old Xu.
He lowered his voice and said, "Don't embarrass yourself."
Old Xu stepped forward, nodded to Song Yilin, and then handed Bai Guanqun a card: "This is a gift for meeting my granddaughter for the first time. Please accept it."
Just as Song Yilin was about to refuse, Bai Guanqun took the card away.
He bowed to Grandpa Xu and said, "Thank you, Grandpa."
Xu Ming was even angrier.
On the way back, Bai Guanqun voluntarily gave his bank card to Song Yilin.
Song Yilin offered it directly to Xu Qingmin, but Xu Qingmin refused to take it.
Holding the card, Song Yilin asked Bai Guanqun curiously, "If you don't want this gift, why did you take it?"
“If I don’t take it, I’ll be disrespecting Grandpa Xu. The old man has never offended me, so I don’t need to upset him. But if I take it, I can upset the old lady.”
Bai Guanqun made no attempt to hide her feelings and said it directly in the car. She wasn't worried at all that Xu Qingmin might dislike her because of Xu Ming.
Perhaps this is Bai Guanqun's confidence; she never cares whether others like her or not, and she will say it directly if she doesn't like someone.
"Did Grandma Xu make things difficult for you?"
Bai Guanqun's eyes darted around, and he looked out the window: "No."
Xu Qingmin stopped the car immediately.
"Guanqun, tell me, did Grandma Xu make things difficult for you?"
“I swear, your mother didn’t make things difficult for me; she just looked down on me.”
It's perfectly normal for Xu Ming to dislike someone; Xu Qingmin knows his own mother's personality.
Song Yilin also knew that Xu Ming not only disliked Bai Guanqun, but also disliked her. Xu Ming disliked everything or anyone she felt was unworthy of her son.
However, Xu Ming disliked her because she wouldn't feel that bad, but she disliked her own daughter.
That would make a mother's heart clench.
Seeing his mother's sadness, Bai Guanqun immediately said, "Mom, don't worry, I've already taken revenge. If that old woman ever looks down on you again, just tell me, and I'll help you get revenge."
Song Yilin knew that Bai Guanqun's actions were simply a child's way of protecting his mother, and that revenge was just a small trick. However, she was still touched by her daughter's heartwarming behavior.
"Your Uncle Xu is here. You say you're looking for revenge against someone's mother? Don't you respect Uncle Xu?"
"Then I can only apologize to you, Uncle Xu."
Song Yilin grabbed Bai Guanqun's ear: "Don't do anything reckless, you know? Don't meddle in adults' affairs."
"Don't worry, I won't let my mother bully you and your daughter."
Song Yilin refused, knowing that conflicts between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law have never ended.
Let's take it one step at a time.
Bai Guanqun said again, her little mouth agape, "You don't need to worry about us. My mother won't marry you. I don't object to you dating, but you can't get married or have children."
Xu Qingmin was about to say something when Song Yilin stopped him.
As soon as Xu Qingmin entered the hotel room, he asked Song Yilin.
"You haven't told your daughter we're getting married yet?"
“Qingmin, give me some time. I can’t say it now. She’s still young and she’s always worried that if I marry you and have another child, it will threaten her position.”
Xu Qingmin sighed helplessly.
"Why is it so difficult to marry you?"
Song Yi hugged Xu Qingmin tightly: "Qingmin, please believe me. No matter when we get married or not, if you don't let go, I will never let go."
Xu Qingmin hugged Song Yilin even tighter.
He doesn't believe in promises; he believes more in love protected by law and marriage with children as a bond.
Previously, I thought that Song Yilin couldn't have children and that he had given up on the idea of not having any biological children in his life, but now it turns out that Song Yilin can have children.
He began to hope that they would have a child together, so that no matter what happened in the future, they wouldn't break up so easily.
He knew he had a complicated family background, while Song Yilin had her ex-husband's family.
They each have their own problems. The reason they're together now is because Song Yilin still has some feelings and guilt towards him. But hormones and guilt will gradually fade away with time.
Without that marriage contract, Song Yilin could leave at any time.
Their relationship appeared loving, but in reality, it was a mess.
