Chapter 664 (Page 1/2)
Song Jingjing was in an extremely low mood at the moment, and was shrouded in a deep sense of depression.
Just yesterday, Huo Qinghuan happily received the university admission letter, and today, she unexpectedly learned from Liao Sijie that her sister had also been successfully admitted to the medical college.
This series of news was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Song Jingjing.
What made her feel even more stressed was that Huo Qingyan had just told her that her aunt's second son, He Zetao, had successfully been admitted to medical school, and her youngest daughter, He Shiyu, had been admitted to a teachers' college.
The good news coming from one family after another was like a sharp sword, piercing Song Jingjing's already fragile heart.
When she thought about the three-table banquet that her parents-in-law would prepare for her brother-in-law Huo Qinghuan tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, her sister-in-law would also hold several tables of banquets for her two children, Song Jingjing felt like she was almost suffocating.
She secretly regretted it: If I had known I wouldn't pass, why would I have signed up in the first place? Now, I'm sure I'll become everyone's laughing stock.
Huo Qingyan, who was sitting nearby, saw his wife's sad and listless face and asked with concern, "Jingjing, what's wrong with you? Is there something on your mind?"
Hearing her husband's question, Song Jingjing raised her head and said with a somewhat evasive look, "Qingyan, I...I haven't been back to my parents' home for a long time. How about I take our daughter Anran back to visit her tomorrow?"
After saying this, she quickly lowered her head again, as if she was afraid to look her husband in the eye.
Huo Qingyan felt it was strange. Song Jingjing didn't go home early or late, but just went back to her parents' home when her family was going to have a dinner party. Could it be that she was afraid of being laughed at because she didn't pass the exam?
"Jingjing, my parents are treating us to dinner tomorrow. Why are you going back to my parents' house?" Huo Qingyan couldn't help but ask.
"Take Anran back to see my mother. She misses her. Qingyan, tell my parents tomorrow that I need to go back to my parents' home to take care of some things..."
Huo Qingyan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and his eyes fell slowly on Song Jingjing, as if he could see through everything.
He said softly, "Hey, Jingjing, what important matter are you rushing back to your parents' home to deal with?
Could it be that... you're afraid that Fourth Aunt and Young Aunt will laugh at you for not getting into college? Tsk tsk tsk tsk, I remember you weren't such a thin-skinned person before! "
These words were like a sharp knife, piercing Song Jingjing's heart.
She was so angry that her face flushed red, her eyes widened, and she shouted, "Huo Qingyan, shut your stinky mouth! I went back to my parents' house for serious business, so why would you be so nosy? I'm not afraid of what they say!"
However, Huo Qingyan didn't seem to take Song Jingjing's anger seriously. Instead, he continued to tease her, "Haha, don't get excited! Jingjing, you don't have to be so nervous!"
My cousins know their own limitations very well, and they don't even have the courage to sign up for the exam. So, how could Fourth Aunt and Young Aunt have the time to laugh at you?

Song Jingjing could no longer endure it. Her chest heaved violently as she raged through gritted teeth, "That's enough! I told you to shut up! You don't need to worry about my affairs! Anyway, I'm taking An Ran back to my parents' home tomorrow."
At this time, Song Jingjing had already made up her mind that she would not attend either Huo Qinghuan's celebration banquet or He Zetao and He Shiyu's celebration banquet.
My sister-in-law and the aunts can participate however they want, but she will never, ever go.
Huo Qingyan frowned, his eyes first falling on his eldest daughter who was playing happily alone, then turned to the youngest daughter in Tang Xue's arms. His face darkened, and he asked with a hint of dissatisfaction:
"Jingjing, you want to take Anran back to the Song family, but Zizi and Yanyan are still at home. What should they do?"
Hearing her husband's question, Song Jingjing's heart tightened, but on the surface she pretended to be calm and replied:
"Zizi and Yanyan have Xiaoxue to look after them, so don't worry. Besides, our parents are having a meal tomorrow at noon, so you can just take them along."
In fact, Song Jingjing originally planned to take Tang Xue and An Yan back to the Song family.
However, she was afraid that her actions would be too obvious and cause displeasure among the Huo family.
So after careful consideration, she decided to take An Ran back alone.
Of course, she had already thought of a fully reasonable excuse for this choice.
If Huo Qingyan questioned this or talked nonsense, she could explain to him with confidence:
Her parents' side specially contacted an authoritative expert in cardiology for An Ran, and she needed to rush back in advance to understand the specific condition of the disease.
Although Huo Qingyan was somewhat dissatisfied with Song Jingjing, he did not ask any questions. If she wanted to go back, then let her go back. It was his fault for marrying a wife with such a thin skin.
The next morning, Song Jingjing packed some luggage and took Huo Anran to her mother's house.
At noon, the Huo family's relatives and friends gathered together, but Song Jingjing was nowhere to be seen. Du Xiaojuan asked Huo Qingyan, "Qingyan, where is your wife?"
"Aunt, my wife has returned to her parents' home."
"Your parents specially celebrated Qinghuan today. Why did your wife come back to her parents' home at this time? Could she be jealous that Qinghuan got into university?"
Huo Qingyan smiled awkwardly, "Aunt, Jingjing went back to her parents' home for something. How could she be jealous of Qinghuan getting into university? If Qinghuan could get into university, our Huo family would be so proud."
Yang Huiling nudged Du Xiaojuan and said, "Okay, sister-in-law, stop making fun of Qingyan. Qingyan's wife didn't even make it to the junior college entrance exam this time. She's probably too shy to eat this simple meal."
At this time, Huo Junheng, who was sitting at the main table, saw that his brother Huo Junshan looked unhappy, so he quickly tried to smooth things over. "Okay, stop chatting nonsense. Today is Qinghuan's good day, so let Qinghuan express his current thoughts."
