Chapter 297 So what? Are you crazy?
Song Shuchen sat there expressionless, smoking one cigarette after another.
He was on his way when he received the news. He was very worried. He thought his daughter would be moved, cry, or be at a loss.
The moment he stepped into the venue, his daughter turned towards him and called out "Daddy" in a loud and clear voice, making his heart skip a beat.
An emotion called being moved filled my chest.
He thought his daughter had acknowledged him.
He thought that after his daughter saw her biological mother, she would also acknowledge him.
I took two steps before I realized it.
The daughter was calling out to Shen Zhiye, who was standing in the same direction as her but further ahead.
Frozen in place, he witnessed his daughter taking Shen Zhiye's hand and calling him "Dad," while introducing herself as Shen Buyu.
He remained silent.
It should be Song Buyu.
At that moment, he was like a deflated balloon.
Strangely enough, having lived to this age, through countless battles and near-death experiences, he doesn't care about anyone.
Apart from Meng Qingzhi, no one else could evoke any emotional fluctuations in him.
But this daughter, whose existence he only learned of this year, could instantly plunge his mood from heaven to hell.
I can't figure it out.
"Brother Chen, the eldest young master is here," A-Dong whispered.
Song Shuchen turned his head to the side, while Song Jingyi strode inside with a sullen face.
He must be worried about his sister.
"Jingyi," Song Shuchen called to him.
Song Jingyi had already spotted Song Shuchen, his face cold. "You called my mother here?"
Song Shuchen placed his cigar on the ashtray. "No, she came here on her own. Her people were threatened."
Song Jingyi frowned almost imperceptibly. "Where is she?"
“Jingyi, your sister doesn’t recognize me or your mother. She’s recognized Shen Zhiye and has even started calling him Dad. She says her name is Shen Buyu.” Song Shuchen’s voice was hoarse and aged.
“My sister is a normal person, she did nothing wrong.” Song Jingyi was not surprised at all.
Song Shuchen suddenly looked up, staring at his son in disbelief. "Did you hear that? She said her surname is Shen! She said she's from the Shen family!"
"I heard you," Song Jingyi said, still with that nonchalant air. "So what? Are you crazy?"
"You!" Song Shuchen was speechless for a moment. "How can you be so indifferent?! She is a member of the Song family, how can she bear the surname Shen!"
Hearing this, Song Jingyi finally showed some expression. He chuckled softly, "Why can't she have the surname Shen? She's a child of the Song family. Did you raise her or take care of her? The Shen family rescued her from a fire pit and raised her so well. What's wrong with her having the surname Shen?"
Song Shuchen stood up from the sofa, looking at his son in disbelief. "She's your sister! She should have the same surname as you!"
Song Jingyi now knows how to anger Song Shuchen.
He tilted his head, raised an eyebrow, and said with a roguish air, "You're right. How about I go and talk to Uncle Shen and see if I can also take the surname Shen? Shen Jingyi, that sounds pretty good."
After saying that, he didn't look at his father, who was fuming, and calmed down, slowly heading towards the inner area.
Judging from Song Shuchen's reaction, it's clear that Meng Qingzhi's appearance didn't affect his sister; on the contrary, it improved her relationship with the Shen family.
That's fine.
His sister is better now, that's fine.
Song Jingyi walked to the last row of the auction hall, sat down, crossed his legs, and immediately locked his gaze on Yan Buyu, who was chatting away with Shen Yunqi.
The corners of her lips unconsciously turned up.
He glanced to the side and saw his naive mother.
Although neither of them had ever interfered with him, Song Jingyi's attitude towards Meng Qingzhi was much better.
At least when Song Shuchen wasn't around, she would call him to ask how he was doing, whether he was feeling cold or hot.
The last item on display was a double-layered pearl necklace from the Floral Collection. The necklace features a jeweled flower and can be worn as a necklace accessory or removed and worn as a brooch.
It's not a top-tier model, but it's a very popular style from a certain luxury brand.
Starting bid: 300,000.
People began to raise placards one after another in the venue, including Si Jingxu and Shen Zhiye.
Song Jingyi glanced at her; his sister wasn't wearing a necklace today.
So he raised his hand.
The price went from 300,000 to 800,000.
Yan Buyu turned her head to see who was fighting with her father, and when she met Song Jingyi's gaze, she smiled and waved at him.
Then he leaned over to Shen Zhiye and said a few words, and Shen Zhiye stopped raising his sign.
Then it was Si Jingxu and Song Jingyi who started bidding.
She took out her phone again and started tapping away.
Then, Si Jingxu stopped bidding.
The necklace was eventually purchased by Song Jingyi for 1.2 million.
Song Jingyi saw all of this and felt strange.
I don't feel uncomfortable, I don't feel disgusted, and I even feel a little excited and happy.
Is this what it feels like to be protected?
Surprisingly, it's actually quite good.
Meng Qingzhi also saw Song Jingyi. After the auction ended, she immediately got up and went to find her son with a smile.
"Ayi! You're here!" She came over with a smile. "Is the necklace a gift for me? Mom already has many pearl necklaces, but this one is quite pretty."
Song Jingyi was in a good mood and replied, "It's not for you. My dad is out there. Go find him."
Meng Qingzhi was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes lit up. "Ayi! You have a girl you like? You gave it to her, right?"
Her son never buys jewelry; he deals with knives and guns all the time.
Now they're actually fighting over a necklace.
If it's not a gift for yourself, then it must be a gift for a girl.
Is she going to become a mother-in-law?
“No,” Song Jingyi didn’t want to say more. “Amo, see Madam out.”
“Madam, Mr. Song has been waiting for you outside for a long time.” Chen Mo gestured for her to enter.
"Oh, then I'll go find your father first." Meng Qingzhi glanced at her son again; he seemed different than before.
"Brother Jingyi." Yan Buyu was with his family and only came over to greet Meng Qingzhi after she left.
Song Jingyi handed her the necklace, saying, "Wear it and play with it."
"A gift for me?" Yan Buyu was somewhat surprised; she had thought it was for Meng Qingzhi.
"I'll give you something better later." Song Jingyi thought the necklace was a bit cheap.
However, these charity auctions don't usually feature top-tier items.
His little fish will have the best and most expensive jewelry in the world.
"Thank you, Brother Jingyi." Yan Buyu took the necklace and said to Lan Xinyan, "Mom, may I speak with Brother Jingyi alone for a moment?"
"Go ahead, we'll wait for you over there. We can chat slowly, no rush." Lan Xinyan smiled at Song Jingyi. "Jingyi, the snacks on the buffet are delicious. Buyu really likes them."
“Okay, I’ll go give it a try.” Song Jingyi nodded and followed his sister away.
"What do you want to say to me?" Song Jingyi asked.
"Well, it's just..." Yan Buyu lowered his head and rubbed his fingers together.
I'm thinking about how to tell Song Jingyi that I want to take the surname Shen.
“It’s fine if you remain silent,” Song Jingyi said, picking up a small cake. “It’s just a surname, don’t put so much pressure on yourself. Anyway, you acknowledge me, I know you’re my sister, and you know I’m your brother, that’s enough.”
