Chapter 325 is rather frightening at first glance.
Shen Buyu was not surprised to see Song Shuchen at the dinner table.
To be honest, she would have been a little suspicious if he hadn't shown up.
That doesn't fit his style.
However, everyone at the table tacitly treated him as if he were invisible.
They continued chatting and laughing, but no one paid him any attention.
"Buyu, eat more, you're too thin." Song Shuchen couldn't help but remind Shen Buyu as he ate in small bites.
Shen Buyu ignored him, focusing instead on the pig's trotter in her bowl. "Brother Jingyi, do you like boneless pig's trotters?"
“I like it,” Song Jingyi put a piece of steak on her plate. “I’ll have them make it for you tomorrow, you can have steak.”
"I like them all, but the braised pig's trotters are a bit hard to chew."
“Don’t speak, eat some beef. Beef is better than pork,” Song Shuchen said again.
He barely ate anything during the meal, and kept reminding the child.
Finally, he fell silent, annoyed.
She put down her chopsticks and stared straight at Song Shuchen.
“Mr. Song, I eat slowly because I was abused when I was a child, and my teeth didn’t develop well; I’m short because I was malnourished back then. To be honest, my parents have done a great job raising me to be this tall and healthy. Don’t talk like that when you’re not in my shoes.”
If it weren't for her parents, she wouldn't even have had a chance to grow to 1.3 meters tall, let alone 1.66 meters.
Now it's obvious he's complaining, sometimes saying she's too short, sometimes saying she's too thin.
She is a healthy and robust baby, raised with love and care by her parents.
She wasn't the crippled, weak little good-for-nothing he described.
"That's not what I meant," Song Shuchen said hastily, his heart pounding. "I didn't mean to accuse you or them. I just wanted you to..."
"You want me to do what you want? You want me to eat whatever you want? You want me to do whatever you want?" Shen Buyu picked up another large piece of pig's trotter and put it into his bowl. "Mr. Song, are you this controlling of strangers? I think you should learn how to respect people and table manners first."
“Amo,” Song Jingyi, who hadn’t spoken for a while, smiled, “have the restaurant outside deliver meals to President Song. The ones in our courtyard aren’t suitable for him.”
Song Shuchen was driven away by his son and daughter again.
He didn't say a word and walked along the lake towards his room.
The further I walked, the better I felt.
The further he walked, the bigger his smile became.
The child spoke with such confidence just now, that's wonderful.
As he approached the door, Ah Dong was smoking. Seeing him, Ah Dong quickly came to greet him.
"Brother Chen, we found out. Madam met an old lady who was her former neighbor."
They checked the neighbors and found that she had come here with the young master and young lady.
Song Shuchen's smile faded, and his expression darkened slightly.
I had a pretty good idea of what had happened.
I tiptoed in and pushed the door open. The living room lights were on, but I couldn't see anyone.
Entering the bedroom, the lights were off, and Meng Qingzhi was lying on her side on the bed with her back to him.
Song Shuchen walked over and sat down on the edge of her bed. "Qingzhi, I know you're not asleep. You can tell me if there's anything you need to say."
"I'm fine," Meng Qingzhi replied quickly, repeating the same sentence.
"Sigh," Song Shuchen sighed, "It's been decades, and it's still the same. Go to sleep."
He turned and left, gently closing the door behind him.
Meng Qingzhi lay on the bed, tears streaming down her face.
How should she bring this up?
How to put it.
No one will ever understand her.
After Song Shuchen left, Shen Buyu was in a good mood and ate two bowls of rice.
When she video chatted with her family at night, she kept moaning from the strain.
"Are you stupid? What kind of good food made you so full?" Shen Yunqi was quite angry. "Don't lie there, get up and move around."
"Buyu, do you want to take some digestive pills?" Lan Xinyan also frowned.
"Drink some hawthorn water?" Shen Zhiye couldn't sit still any longer. "I'll go find a doctor to come and see you."
Shen Yanzhou lowered his head and tapped his phone lightly. "I have a friend at Suzhou Hospital. I'll have him make the arrangements."
"No! Big brother, no!" Shen Buyu sat up. "I'll just go for a walk. It would be so embarrassing if the Shen family kids ate too much and had to see a doctor."
"Then hurry up and go," Shen Yunqi instructed, "keep video chatting with me, I'll supervise from the cloud."
"Okay," Shen Buyu replied with a smile.
She was video chatting with her brother on her phone, with Mu Zi following behind at a distance.
The brother and sister chatted idly.
"Where's Si Jingxu? Why didn't he look for you today?" Shen Yunqi asked sourly. "When is he coming back to China?"
“It will take another three days,” Shen Buyu tightened his coat. “He’s in a different time zone. It’s daytime now, and he’s in a meeting.”
“Let me tell you, Shen Buyu,” Shen Yunqi said solemnly, “you shouldn’t be too understanding. If you need to argue with him, then argue with him. Otherwise, he’ll get used to it and become spoiled.”
“Why would I argue with him?” Shen Buyu asked, puzzled. “We’re doing just fine. If there’s a problem, we solve it; if there’s no problem, we’re happy together.”
"You're still too young." Shen Yunqi said with the air of someone who's been there all along. "I've never seen anyone as naive as you before, but don't worry, the Shen family will back you up, and Si Jingxu won't be able to bully you."
"You're the idiot." Shen Buyu pouted and suddenly stopped in his tracks.
By the lake, under the warm yellow light, sat a slender, melancholy figure.
Meng Qingzhi.
What are you doing not sleeping in the middle of the night? It looks kind of scary at first glance.
She wanted to turn around and leave, but after thinking it over, she said to Mu Zi, "Have the people who are with us tell Song Shuchen that Meng Qingzhi is here and ask him to come and get her."
"Yes, Miss." Mu Zi greeted the darkness.
Soon, a dark figure flashed in.
Shen Buyu stared in disbelief.
"What's wrong?" Shen Yunqi asked. "Is someone causing you trouble?"
“No,” Shen Buyu said, “Brother, I’ll hang up now and send you a message later.”
"Okay, let Mu Zi go with you. But whatever you do, don't go alone. I'm telling you, there are too many bad people around these days. Don't get framed for no reason."
Shen Buyu smiled and hung up the phone, then slowly walked towards Meng Qingzhi.
Then I sat down in a spot where I could see her.
"Miss, should we inform Yi-ge?" Mu Zi asked in a low voice, unsure of her mistress's attitude towards her birth mother.
“No need. Why upset him in the middle of the night? Song Shuchen will be here soon,” Shen Buyu said calmly. “I’m just worried that she’s had another argument with Song Shuchen and might do something rash to jump into the lake.”
If someone had died in such a beautiful garden, it would be too upsetting to live there.
This is a place my brother built in memory of my grandmother; it shouldn't be defiled by these clueless people.
Even selling them externally is difficult.
Mu Zi nodded, understanding.
The young lady didn't care about the madam at all; she only cared about Yi-ge and money.
That's wonderful, she's my good lady.
Meng Qingzhi was feeling melancholy under the moonlight when she suddenly noticed Shen Buyu sitting not far away, looking completely indifferent.
