Unexpectedly, things took a dramatic turn, and the higher-ups suddenly changed their minds.
Song Yiren figured that the higher-ups wouldn't change their minds for no reason; something must have happened that he didn't know about.
He then became more cautious and wanted to test the waters, but he couldn't find out anything.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhengguo delivered himself to their doorstep.
Lu Zhengguo didn't hold back, putting his hands on his hips and saying, "Hehe, Old Song, you'd better thank me properly this time! If it weren't for me, you'd be living in a cowshed."
Back when they first met, Song Yiren never hesitated to make a scene for him, openly and secretly challenging him by saying that he came from a peasant background, which really annoyed him.
The two often insulted each other over this matter. Song Yiren called Lu Zhengguo a peasant, and Lu Zhengguo didn't back down, calling him a pedantic scholar.
Anyway, the two of them argued a lot, but unexpectedly, all those arguments actually strengthened their relationship.
Song Yiren glanced at him without saying anything, and he guessed that someone in Beijing must have spoken up for him.
But no one expected that this person would be Lu Zhengguo.
It doesn't make sense from either a moral or logical standpoint. Back then, their relationship could be described as both rival and friend.
After he got into trouble, it was already considered good that Lu Zhengguo didn't kick him while he was down.
How could I possibly help him?
This whole thing seems really weird and abnormal.
Song Yiren felt that their relationship hadn't reached that point yet, so he was extremely conflicted.
Lu Zhengguo was furious at his expression: "Old Song! What kind of expression is that?"
Song Yiren: "You weasel, what good intentions could you possibly have?"
Lu Zhengguo: "Am I a weasel, and are you a chicken?"
That's really infuriating. He has a temper too, you know.
Song Yiren remained silent, knowing he could never win an argument with Lu Zhengguo.
That's how it is when you're young; don't expect to turn things around when you're older.
Lu Zhengguo wasn't there to argue. After he finished speaking with a huff and a glare, he immediately became smug again.
The main reason is that Song Qinghe is such an upright girl. Even without Song Yiren's connections, he would have tried to arrange for Song Qinghe to marry his grandson.
He has no other family but many grandchildren.
If Song Qinghe and Lu Zhaolin's relationship falls through, it won't matter. He can just bring all his grandsons over, line them up, and let her choose.
I was initially worried that Song Qinghe was a fake, so I came over to see for myself what the situation was.
If it turns out to be fake, then I can prepare in advance.
Even if he didn't know Song Qinghe, surely Song Yiren wouldn't not know his own granddaughter!
When they met, Lu Zhengguo realized he had worried for nothing; there was no need to worry at all.
Song Qinghe's face looks exactly like her mother, Cui Mingzhen, whom he knows.
Back in the day, she was from a prominent family in Beijing, and she married Song Yanli, that bookworm, through a marriage alliance.
I originally thought the two of them would never get along, but they actually did.
It's quite surprising that the two of them have been together for so many years.
That's getting off-topic. Let's focus on figuring out what's really going on.
Lu Zhengguo, acting like a close buddy, put his arm around Song Yiren's shoulder: "Oh dear, look at you, so petty! You insulted me and you're already giving me the cold shoulder!"
"Come on, come to my house. Your house has just been built and is not yet habitable."
"Song Yiren, you've escaped death this time, so I'm your rightful savior, hehe!"
Just as Song Yiren was about to push his arm away, Lu Zhengguo's words stopped him.
That's true, after all, he still carries the title of a savior.
If I were to push him away now, it would indeed be a bit unreasonable.
Lu Zhengguo didn't think that much about it; Song Yiren hadn't been very willing to talk to him back then.
If I weren't thick-skinned, how could we have become buddies?
However, we can't just focus on Song Yiren; we can't neglect the other members of the Song family either.
From now on, we'll be in-laws, so there's absolutely no room for ambiguity.
Song Yiren immediately turned around and greeted them.
