Chapter 057 I'm Just a Tool
Song Yi showed respect for this, "Sister Qing, nice to meet you, my name is Song Yi."
Sister Qing: "It's a nice name. We are quite destined to be together. Are you working this afternoon?"
Song Yi: "I don't have classes this afternoon."
Sister Qing: "Are you still a student?"
Song Yi: "No, I'm a teacher at the nearby University of Economics and Business."
Sister Qing raised her eyebrows: "What a coincidence, my eldest grandson is studying at the University of Economics and Trade."
Song Yi was a little surprised. It wasn't surprising that he had a relative studying at the University of Economics and Trade, but Sister Qing...
"You have grandchildren?"
Sister Qing: "Yes, he is already in his twenties."
My grandson is in his twenties, so my son must be in his forties...
Song Yi's brain was a little insufficient, and Sister Qing looked to be in her forties.
Sister Qing saw Song Yi's surprised expression and asked with a smile, "Did you get scared?"
Song Yi: "Well, you look very young."
Sister Qing: "According to seniority, it's not too much for you to call me auntie. I'm fifty-five years old this year."
Song Yi's jaw dropped in shock: "...Ah?"
Fifty-five years old, which means he is about the same age as Song Lansheng.
The age gap between them seems too big...
But if you think about it, it's normal.
Song Lansheng has been working hard to make a living, and his health has been poor in recent years, so it is inevitable that he looks more haggard than his peers.
It is obvious that Sister Qing is not an ordinary person.
Song Yi couldn't help feeling uncomfortable when he thought about this, but it wasn't because he was jealous or resentful.
She just felt that if Song Lansheng was not alone, if her father was still alive... Song Lansheng's situation might be better than it is now.
However, she is 28 years old this year, and Song Lansheng has never mentioned her father once.
Song Yi has been very sensitive and sensible since childhood, and he is very sensitive to the emotions of people around him.
She knew clearly that Song Lansheng didn't want to mention that person, so she didn't ask.
But not asking doesn't mean she isn't really curious, nor does it mean she hasn't secretly longed for it.
Song Yi sniffed, then came back to look at Sister Qing, "You look like you're in your forties."
"Xiaoyi is so sweet." Sister Qing laughed at the compliment, "My son is already forty."
Song Yi: "...Then your husband must have taken good care of you."
"Oh, him?" Sister Qing snorted coldly, "The best way to protect me is to leave him alone."
Song Yi vaguely felt that he had said something wrong and felt a little embarrassed.
However, Sister Qing did open up and started complaining about her husband: "He's too controlling. He has to control when I get up and when I go to bed. Humph, he's spoiled me."
Although Sister Qing was complaining, Song Yi could hear happiness in her tone.
You can also tell that she and her husband have a very good relationship.
It's not easy to still be able to quarrel at such an old age.
If there is no emotion, there will be no quarrel.
After listening to Sister Qing's complaints, Song Yi smiled and said with emotion: "You and... your brother-in-law have a good relationship."
Sister Qing: “No.”
Song Yi: "Only when we like each other can we have the energy to quarrel."
Sister Qing: "It sounds like you have a lot of experience in this area?"
Song Yi forced a smile and said, "Well, I just broke up with my fiancé. When we were together, we hardly ever quarreled."
Sister Qing's eyes lit up: "So, you are single now?"
Song Yi: “…Yeah.”
Sister Qing: "Then do you want to talk?"
She was very enthusiastic: "I can introduce you."
Song Yi waved his hand subconsciously, "Thank you, Sister Qing, no thanks, I don't want to talk about it for now."
Sister Qing: "Sure, sure. When you want to talk, tell me and I'll introduce you."
As soon as the two finished the topic, the waiter brought over the coffee and tiramisu.
Song Yi took a spoonful and took a sip, revealing an amazed expression: "It's very authentic, almost exactly the same as what I had in Italy."
Sister Qing: "Have you been to Italy?"
Song Yi: "I was a graduate student in Rome and stayed there for two years."
Sister Qing: "What a coincidence! My son also spent two years in Rome, but he was doing business there."
Song Yi sat and chatted with Sister Qing for more than two hours, and he felt much better.
This was the first time she had talked to a stranger for so long.
Song Yi is a slow-to-warm-up and introverted person. He doesn't talk much in social situations. He has basically not developed any new circles in recent years and only has a few friends around him.
Sister Qing is the first new friend she has made in the past few years since she returned to China.
The two exchanged WeChat accounts when they parted. Sister Qing was picked up by a driver, and she originally wanted to give Song Yi a ride, but Song Yi refused, feeling embarrassed to trouble her.
After getting on the bus, Song Yi received a WeChat message from Qing Jie: [Come to my house for dinner when you have time. It’s nice to meet you [laughs]]
——
Good times will come after bad times. When Song Yi returned to the hospital, he received a notice from the doctor that a matching kidney donor had been found.
In other words, Song Lansheng can undergo surgery within a week.
This news was like a shot of chicken blood for Song Yi, and all his previous troubles were swept away.
Song Yi came out of the doctor's office and excitedly shared the good news with Song Lansheng.
Song Lansheng was not as happy as Song Yi had imagined.
Song Lansheng grabbed Song Yi's hand, patted it twice, sighed softly, and said to her: "Xiaoyi, Mom is a burden to you."
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Song Yi said, "I have never thought about it that way."
"Over the years, you've followed me and suffered a lot." Song Lansheng's eyes were a little wet. "Actually, Mom knows that you've always wanted a complete family. You just didn't ask me because you knew I didn't want to talk about it..."
"Mom is sorry for you. I can't give you a home, so I hope you can get married soon. I didn't expect that I didn't know people well and almost hurt you." Song Lansheng's words were full of self-blame.
"No, I've never blamed you!" Song Yi hugged her tightly, "I don't need a father anymore. You're enough for me. Stop thinking about it and let's focus on preparing for the surgery."
"If something goes wrong during the operation, it will be too late to say these words..."
"No, there won't be any accidents." Song Yi said firmly.
Thump thump.
When the mother and daughter were hugging each other, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Song Yi wiped away her tears and went to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, he saw Jiang Budu standing in front of it.
Song Yi was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Budu lowered his eyes and saw Song Yi's red eyes at a glance.
He looked inside and winked at Song Yi.
After that, he pushed the door open and walked in, saying, "I just happened to come to the hospital to do something. Director Liu said that a kidney donor has been found and the surgery can be arranged soon, so I came to take a look."
Having said this, Jiang Budu stopped right in front of Song Lansheng.
He smiled at Song Lansheng and reassured him, "Don't be nervous. The surgeons are all experienced experts, so there will be no problem."
Song Yi lowered his head and after listening to Jiang Budu's words, he knew why he came.
After he said this, Song Lansheng would definitely not doubt the operation anymore.
Song Lansheng was very grateful to Jiang Budu because he had a good impression of him because of what happened before.
The two chatted for a few minutes, and Jiang Budu left first, saying he had something to do.
Song Yi followed him out.
After closing the door and walking a few steps, Song Yi finally said to Jiang Budu, "Mr. Jiang, thank you."
Jiang Budu raised the corner of his mouth and smiled evilly, patting her shoulder. "I'm just a tool, you know, I'm not the one who arranged all this."
