Chapter 78 Living Together
Bai Guanqun looked at Song Yilin, and Song Yilin nodded, indicating that she should call out to her.
Bai Guanqun then called out in a soft, sweet voice, "Grandpa."
Xu Ming just looked around and didn't ask Bai Guanqun to call her, and Bai Guanqun ignored her as well.
Old Xu was very honest and gave Bai Guanqun another card: "Child, this is a gift for meeting you. I gave it to you last time, but you gave it to your father, right? You can't give this to your father anymore. This is from your grandfather."
He then gestured to his assistant, Uncle Hui, to bring over a briefcase: "This is a villa in Kyoto. It's over 500 square meters, with a cinema, a swimming pool, a car, and an apartment. It's all a gift from Grandpa to you."
Before, when Song Yilin didn't know he was her biological father, she would have stopped Bai Guanqun from accepting the gift. Now that he is her biological grandfather, Bai Guanqun has his own basic judgment, and whether or not to accept the gift is up to her.
Bai Guanqun only took the villa: "Thank you, Grandpa. I like the villa, but I don't need the others. I'm still young, I can't drive, and I don't need the money. But I can go to the villa if I go to Beijing."
Old Xu was taken aback as he held the things that had been pushed back.
Xu Qingmin handed the package back to his assistant, saying, "Guanqun is still young, she doesn't need to take so much. I'll buy her whatever she needs."
Perhaps due to his advanced age, Mr. Xu had always wanted to find a resemblance between his son and Bai Guanqun when he was a child.
However, from head to toe, Bai Guanqun most resembles Song Yilin.
They're only somewhat similar in personality.
Uncle Hui immediately understood what Old Master Xu wanted to hear and stepped forward, saying, "Young Miss, you don't seem like President Xu, you seem more like Miss Qingya."
Upon hearing this, Old Xu felt that it made sense.
Xu Ming looked at it and thought it was similar: "Her face looks like her mother's, but her figure and some of her movements and mentality are quite like Qingya's."
Uncle Hui chimed in, "Yes, my niece looks just like her aunt; she's blessed."
Because she resembled her daughter, or at least somewhat like her, Xu Ming's expression softened.
He awkwardly slipped a red envelope to Bai Guanqun.
Bai Guanqun did not intend to accept the red envelope.
But Xu Ming stuffed it in and left.
When Song Yilin and Xu Qingmin saw that the person had left, they went out to see them off.
Old Xu turned to Song Yilin and said, "I won't see you off, Yilin. Thank you for giving my family such a lovely daughter."
Xu Ming scoffed, "What are you thanking me for? You don't even know who the father of your child is. If you didn't have a messy private life, how could you not know who the father of your child is?"
Xu Qingmin's face immediately darkened.
Old Xu scolded, "Xu Ming!"
Seeing that her husband and son were standing with Song Yilin, Xu Ming didn't say anything more and left first.
She knew her words were excessive, but she wanted to give Song Yilin a blow. Otherwise, Song Yilin would be so arrogant. She wanted to let Song Yilin know that just because she gave birth to such a big daughter, she could enter the Xu family.
They would never have let her in before, and they would never have let her in now. The Xu family has been a wealthy and powerful family for generations; how could they possibly let an unclean woman in?
After Xu Ming left, Old Xu said to Song Yilin with an apologetic look, "I'm sorry, the child's grandmother spoke without thinking. Please don't take it to heart."
Song Yilin said calmly, "It's nothing."
What can we do? Fight with Xu Ming? What she said is true: if she hadn't been messing around with her son, there wouldn't be Bai Guanqun, and she wouldn't have suffered so much. But now Xu Ming is Bai Guanqun's biological grandmother.
Although Bai Guanqun might not necessarily have any affection for this biological grandmother, they are still related by blood. Over time, the grandmother and granddaughter might reconcile, leaving Bai Guanqun in an awkward position as the biological mother. Blood ties are a strange thing; sometimes they can become lifelong enemies, but other times even the greatest hatred can be resolved. Therefore, Song Yilin tries her best to avoid conflict with Xu Ming.
After the two left.
Xu Qingmin hugged Song Yilin and said, "I'm sorry. I will try my best to keep you away from my mother from now on. We will not live with her anymore."
Song Yilin nodded.
She can't afford to offend them, so she'll just avoid them.
Xu Qingmin was actually quite protective of her.
We can't expect every mother-in-law to be like Cai Hong.
So she really didn't want to get married.
It was simpler before Bai Guanqun wasn't a child of the Xu family, but now things are much more complicated.
When Song Yilin returned to the ward, she saw Bai Guanqun smiling while holding his phone.
"why are you laughing?"
Bai Guanqun immediately put down his phone when he saw his mother arrive.
The smile on his face disappeared.
"It was Grandpa Xu who sent me the message; it was just a little funny."
"You can do whatever you want with your grandparents in the future, without worrying about me, but be careful in front of your grandmother and great-grandmother."
"Okay, Mom."
Xu Qingmin handed Bai Guanqun a tablet: "Take a look, see if there's anything you like?"
"What you like?"
The webpage Bai Guanqun opened contained information about equestrianism, golf, tea ceremony, dance, and more—all top-notch resources.
Song Yilin had wanted her daughter to learn these things before, but she didn't have the resources. It seems that having a powerful and influential father can indeed help a daughter achieve upward social mobility.
Bai Guanqun initially frowned upon hearing that it was about learning, but when he saw the equestrian section, he excitedly said to Xu Qingmin, "This, Father, I want this equestrian section."
Song Yilin was surprised by her daughter's address: "Old Father?"
Xu Qingmin said indifferently, "Let your daughter call you whatever she wants. Horse riding is a strenuous sport. You can rest for a while after being discharged from the hospital before learning it. You can choose something that helps you relax and develop your character first."
Bai Guanqun flipped through the zithers and said, "Then let's go with the guzheng. I've learned it before."
Bai Guanqun had studied there, but it was only through her teaching that she attended training classes; she rarely went to training centers.
"Then let's do the guzheng. After you're discharged from the hospital, your guzheng teacher will give you lessons, and you'll also have a teacher to give you basic lessons."
"Didn't you say you'd do it for me? Don't you want to anymore?"
“Yes, the teacher will take over when I’m busy.”
Bai Guanqun immediately objected. She had agreed before because she knew Xu Qingmin would be very busy and would have very little time to actually teach her, so she was happy for Xu Qingmin to give her lessons.
But if she makes up for it with tutoring, wouldn't she be just like Gu Yijing?
Bai Guanqun casually made up an excuse, saying, "I don't want to. The teacher you found must be bad."
"The teacher and Xu Yijing's teacher are from the same group of people."
With this road blocked, Bai Guanqun came up with another idea: "I don't want to go to Haoshan Villa."
"If we don't go to Haoshan Villa, Xu Yijing would probably prefer to study with you in Fengxiang Community."
Song Yilin looked at Xu Qingmin in surprise: "Are you willing to let Bai Guanqun continue living in Fengxiang Community?"
"Yes, I'd love to. I also live in Fengxiang Community."
Song Yilin was shocked by Xu Qingmin's decision. He had been raised as a wealthy young master since childhood, yet he was willing to live in the same neighborhood as her, even a relatively old one.
Xu Qingmin asked, "You don't want to?"
"No, I was just afraid of making you feel wronged."
"If you're not aggrieved, why should I be?"
She didn't want to live with Xu Qingmin before because she didn't want her teenage daughter to live with a strange man.
There seems to be no reason to refuse living with Xu Qingmin now.
