Chapter 307: Chapter 307: She is different from other women
After dinner, Song Song was forced to wash dishes in the kitchen, while Huo Junting sent Yuan Yuqi home—
Huo Chen went to the study to handle business, leaving only Xiao Jinghuai and Song Xueqin in the living room.
Xiao Jinghuai took a sip of tea and then got straight to the point, saying, "Aunt, actually, I had someone investigate you."
"Oh?"
Song Xueqin remained very calm, "So, President Xiao, did you find anything?"
"No, nothing at all."
Precisely because nothing was found, he became suspicious of her background, further convinced she wasn’t just an ordinary person.
Song Xueqin smiled gracefully, lighting a cigarette, her whole persona becoming more enigmatic amidst the swirling smoke, "And then?"
Xiao Jinghuai recalled the dish on the dinner table just now; he had tasted it once when he was very young. The dish, though slightly altered in flavor, hadn’t changed in essence, and it was made by someone extremely skilled.
"Aunt, could you tell me, who exactly are you?"
Song Xueqin leaned forward and flicked the cigarette ash, "You saw it, I’m just me, a single mother with a child who can cook a few dishes, that’s all..."
Xiao Jinghuai pondered, "But your culinary skills rival a six-star chef; ordinary women can’t possess such artistry."
"What does that represent?" Song Xueqin asked with a smile.
Xiao Jinghuai suddenly froze; it indeed couldn’t represent anything. After all, the world is so vast, a few hidden masters are quite normal, it can’t be used to prove her identity.
Song Xueqin gradually restrained her smile, "Xiao Jinghuai, do you love Song Song?"
"...I don’t want to deceive you, Aunt. Now, I and Song Song haven’t known each other well enough. I only like her temporarily; she’s very different from the women I’ve met before."
Song Xueqin shook her head helplessly, "I taught Song Song to be very simple from a young age. I instilled in her the purest and most harmless thoughts, so sometimes she seems silly. The fact that you don’t find her stupidity off-putting and can see the sparkle in her, shows you are not a bad person."
"Xiao Jinghuai, if you have the ability, please make sure to protect my Song Song, let her remain a pure and harmless girl, okay?"
At this moment, the woman suddenly shed tears, moving people greatly.
"Aunt, what’s wrong?"
"Oh dear! I’m exhausted, my waist can’t stand upright—"
A sudden female voice interrupted, making Song Xueqin quickly wipe away the tears on her face, feign an indifferent expression, and say, "You wash a few dishes, and you’re like this, if I let you cook a whole table, you’d be in bed for a day!"
"Mom, could you not talk about me like that? I was just randomly complaining a bit. You should go look at the dishes I washed; they’re so clean, like a mirror."
After saying this, she finally noticed someone was still there, "Huh! You’re still here!"
This was naturally said to Xiao Jinghuai; she thought he should have left long ago, really unexpected...
Were the two chatting just now?
No way!
Song Xueqin got up from the sofa and yawned, "I’m tired, you guys chat!"
"Hey! Didn’t you want us to divorce? Why suddenly..."
Song Xueqin smiled as she turned around, "Because I’m a woman, and thoughts keep changing."
Song Song couldn’t help but give a thumbs up, "I respect that reason!"
Soon, Song Xueqin turned around, and the smile on her face disappeared immediately.
—Song Song, before, Mom thought if I didn’t let you get into culinary, and tried to make you just an ordinary girl, you would live the simplest life; but it seems this was wrong. If you are destined to face those things, then I hope there is someone trustworthy by your side.
