In November, things got busy again. After this year, next year will be 1991.
These past few months have been the peak season for Phoenix Pavilion. Business at both the main store and the new store has returned to the level it was before last year. Some people have even come to the main store to approach Xu Songyuan, wanting to discuss opening franchise stores.
Xu Songyuan declined, saying that it would be good enough to slowly run these two stores now, and he wouldn't blindly pursue speed.
Xu Guiying privately asked Xu Songyuan if he had any thoughts about getting married again, but Xu Songyuan's attitude remained unchanged: he had no interest in it and didn't want to get married again.
Xu Guiying did not force him.
Since Xu Guiying was promoted to director of the purchasing department, she has been busier than before, and Song Xinfu spends more time at the store.
The third and fifth brothers continued to help out at the store whenever they had time, as Xu Songyuan paid them wages.
Song Anmin and Wang Ya's relationship also became more stable.
Wang Ya never mentioned taking Song Anmin home to meet her parents. Firstly, she felt it was unnecessary, and secondly, she didn't want her family to know about her. If she really wanted to marry Song Anmin, she would secretly go home to get her household registration book!
Song Anmin himself was not the filial son in the eyes of outsiders, and he could understand Wang Ya's thoughts very well.
Song Anmin had a good family and parents, so even though he was separated from his family and kicked out, he still wanted to go back. Some people's families were bad enough that it was already very difficult for them to escape.
For example, Wang Ya, and Chen Zhou.
Wang Ya would occasionally go to Song Anmin's school to wait for him, and the two would stroll around the school together. Several of Song Anmin's close classmates knew that he had a police officer as his girlfriend.
The Lion Town human trafficking case is still under investigation. This is a matter for the municipal police department's branch team and has little to do with Wang Ya and her team. Song Anmin and Wang Ya haven't encountered any unusual surveillance for a long time, but neither of them has let their guard down.
Time flies, and it's already the end of December.
One day, Wang Ya suddenly told Song Anmin about how Liu Aimei almost abandoned Tong Anqu.
Song Anmin was shocked. "What the heck? What's going on?"
Today, Wang Ya went to a meeting at the Municipal Public Security Bureau with Officer Zhao. She overheard someone mention it and said, "Anyway, they just left the child outside the police station, and the police came knocking on their door. Now they're taking good care of the child."
Song Anmin's mouth dropped open. "As expected, this is something she would do."
Just when Song Anmin thought Liu Aimei had already pushed the boundaries enough, Liu Aimei would always manage to do something even more outrageous and frightening.
When Song Anmin got home that night, he told Song Jianmin about it.
The fifth brother had a look on his face as if he had swallowed a fly.
He muttered to himself, "It's a good thing Song Guomin divorced her back then, otherwise things would have been even more chaotic!"
Song Anmin glanced at him and said, "It's probably because Mom separated the family property back then."
Otherwise, if Liu Aimei is left at home, she'll be stirring up trouble here and there, and the Song family will eventually become the laughing stock of Heping Lane.
When Xu Songyuan returned, he heard the two brothers talking.
"Uncle, I want to tell you about Liu Aimei..." Song Anmin finished speaking in a few words, and seeing that Xu Songyuan looked completely unfazed, he raised his voice and asked, "Uncle, you know about this?"
Xu Songyuan nodded, not particularly surprised. "My older sister told me before. What's wrong? You're only finding out now?"
The third son's eyes widened: "Uncle! You knew about this, but you didn't tell us!"
Xu Songyuan was exhausted after a long day, so he asked his third brother to boil water for him to take a bath.
"You didn't ask me, how would I know?"
Song Jianmin also had a look on his face that said his uncle wasn't on their side!
"Uncle, next time you have such big gossip, you must tell us in advance."
Xu Songyuan: "...How old are you two? You're still so childish. Can't you do something productive all day long!"
The two brothers fell silent.
