As Song Shijing grew up, Li Wan suddenly realized that her worries were overblown.
Her son did not develop a wanton character, but was extremely dedicated.
He likes Ruan Youning and has been like him for more than 20 years.
Li Wan once asked Song Shijing why it was her and why it had always been her.
Four-year-old Song Shijing shook his head, his voice childish but clear: I like to play with her.
Fourteen-year-old Song Shijing's ears turned red, and her voice was clean and firm: I like her.
Twenty-four-year-old Song Shijing had calm eyes and a gentle and steady voice: I love her.
Over the long years, no matter how many times Li Wan asked, Song Shijing's answer only became more and more firm.
However, Li Wan couldn't help but sigh as she looked at her son in front of her. What she feared most was not that her son was in love, but that Ruan Youning was not worthy.
It's a coincidence that when she woke up in the morning, she happened upon the Ruan family's affairs.
Even though she had no intention of overhearing the debate in public, she still got a general idea of it.
She wasn't sure whether her husband knew, but she was certain that her son knew.
Seeing how excited Qin Yulan is, can the wedding of his son and Ruan Youning still be held as usual?
Li Wan couldn't help but frown, and the thoughts in his mind had gone back and forth thousands of times.
But the Song family father and son didn't think so much. Song Wencheng looked at Song Shijing from the left and Song Shijing from the right. He just felt that his son was really outstanding and handsome.
He was very proud to have such a wonderful son.
"Xiao Jing, have you been busy these two days?"
Song Wencheng thought for a while and felt that he still had to ask about Ruan Youning, at least to show the most basic concern.
After all, we are almost a family.
Song Shijing was slightly surprised. Was this why his father asked him to come back? But he still responded calmly: "Yeah, it went very well."
He didn't say much, just gave a simple answer.
Song Wencheng didn't ask any more questions and casually chatted about other things.
Song Shijing answered, always feeling that his parents should have other things to tell him, but until four or five o'clock in the evening, Song Wencheng didn't mention anything, and the same was true for Li Wan.
Song Shijing felt strange in his heart and thought about the matter, but he didn't expect anything to happen.
-
Eight o'clock in the evening, the Song family's study.
Even though he is over half-year-old, Song Wencheng still maintains the habit of reading at night, and Li Wan has a gentle temperament, so naturally it is habitual to read together.
This has been a tacit understanding between the two for many years.
But tonight, Li Wan stared at the book in front of her, unable to read it, and her mind couldn't help but think about what happened this morning.
Song Wencheng noticed his wife's absent-mindedness, and he said gently: "Wan'er, is there anything unhappy today?"
Li Wan looked troubled. She hesitated and told what happened this morning.
"Wencheng, you'd better call the Ruan family and ask. I always feel that the wedding between my son and You Ning will not go smoothly."
Song Wencheng heard the uneasiness in his wife's words and quickly called Ruan Langping.
The call was connected quickly.
Song Wencheng didn't ask rashly, he just said to make an appointment to discuss the child's engagement when it was convenient.
Ruan Langping's voice on the phone was a little tired: "Is it okay to wait until the busy work is over, around mid-November?"
Song Wencheng hummed a few times and just said yes.
Suddenly, he changed the topic again: "Shi Jing and You Ning have been in a relationship for more than 20 years, and marriage is a certainty. We have identified You Ning as the child."
"That's natural, that's natural." Ruan Langping responded, but said nothing more.
As soon as the phone was hung up, Song Wencheng and Li Wan's expressions turned a little ugly. They could clearly hear the reluctance in Ruan Langping's words.
After a while, Song Wencheng spoke: "We have no control over the Ruan family's affairs, and we are not qualified to do so, but we have to care about You Ning."
Hearing this, Li Wan also nodded.
-
As for Ruan Langping, he looked a little depressed after hanging up the phone.
Qin Yulan was really too enthusiastic about Jiang Pan'er. She desperately wanted to make amends. Today, she transferred all five or six properties in her name to Jiang Pan'er.
The Ruan family is different from the Song family, which started from scratch. The Ruan family's ancestors were admitted to the scholar examination, and from being a scholar to a high official, they have accumulated countless connections through generations of inheritance.
In the 1990s, the Ruan family completely withdrew from officialdom and changed its direction of development. However, because they had no actual resources, they never performed well.
In Ruan Langping's generation, he switched to the tea industry.
The Qin family has tea mountains and the Ruan family has channels, so the marriage between Ruan Langping and Qin Yulan can be regarded as each getting what they need.
Ruan Langping slowly fell in love with this somewhat powerful and arrogant wife, but Qin Yulan's temperament has not changed at all over the years.
She treats people who are good to her with all her heart and soul; people who are not good to her, she takes back their money and profits.
But now, Qin Yulan regards Ruan Youning as a 'bad person'. She feels that all her sincerity in the past twenty-four years has been fed to the dog and raised a person she doesn't want to do.
The more she sees everything Ruan Youning has now, the more she feels sorry for Jiang Pan'er, and the more she feels she should get everything Ruan Youning has back.
You Ning and Song Shijing’s wedding?
Ruan Langping couldn't help but smile bitterly, I'm afraid there is no hope.
Qin Yulan would not just hand over an outstanding young man like Song Shijing to Ruan Youning. In her opinion, it was Jiang Pan'er who was Song Shijing's childhood sweetheart, and it was Jiang Pan'er who married Song Shijing.
Ruan Youning should not take away any of Jiang Paner's money, including his feelings.
However, where emotional matters can be done reluctantly, how can Qin Yulan do whatever he says?
When Ruan Langping thought about meeting the Song family in mid-November, he felt that it was not a good thing, or at least not a good time.
He was really afraid that Qin Yulan would say something shocking when the time came.
-
When you are busy, time flies by.
With all this busyness, November has arrived unknowingly.
Ruan Youning has five handy painters, and the progress of the new drawings is rapid.
After finishing the first volume and confirming that there were no flaws, Ruan Youning sent the document to Party A almost immediately.
Party A was obviously very satisfied and quickly paid the second batch of payment.
The publisher was also very fast. After getting the manuscript, they started printing it into a book.
Everything is proceeding in an orderly and orderly manner. According to the progress Ruan Youning planned before, he can now rest for almost a week.
After a week, the drawings for the second volume will be ready. Before the end of the year, all the drawings for the second volume will be handed in.
Ruan Youning paid the bonus and announced his vacation.
The people in the studio cheered, and Xiaolin boldly asked: "Sister Youning, there is no team building."
As soon as she finished speaking, a group of young people looked at Ruan Youning eagerly.
We are all of the same age, and there is not much difference in age. It would be a waste not to go out and play during the seven-day holiday.
Ruan Youning thought about it, and it seemed that since the establishment of the studio, there had indeed been no serious team building.
She thought about it for a moment and quickly came up with an idea. Since she was already on vacation and had enough money now, and it was still so cold in Yancheng in winter, she might as well have a big team building.
She smiled and said: "Five days and four nights trip to Sanya, air tickets included."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people became excited.
Naturally, it was left to Xiaolin to book tickets and rooms. Xiaolin was very excited and kept saying that everyone would be satisfied.
Nothing happens and I feel light!
Ruan Youning sat in the office and took a sip of the freshly brewed tea. She felt that life was not so bitter anymore. Even the affairs of the Ruan family are no longer so troublesome.
Twenty days ago, she felt that her world was about to collapse, and she was so depressed that she could no longer survive. But slowly, she discovered that there were more things to do in this world besides love and love. .
In these more than twenty days of busy work, she had completely forgotten all about the Ruan family, and she didn't even have to worry about changing her surname.
Human character is really amazing. After passing the second level hurdle, you feel that the first level hurdle is nothing.
No matter what the Ruan family's attitude was towards her, she could face it calmly.
In fact, she calmed down and thought about it. It was understandable that Qin Yulan suddenly treated her badly and wanted her to disappear.
She has enjoyed a smooth life in the Ruan family. She has enjoyed so much over the years, including food, clothing, housing, transportation, and academic life. Whether it is spiritual or material, she has to admit that she has far surpassed many people.
Many people will never reach her starting point in the Ruan family even if they spend their entire lives.
The more she gains, the more Jiang Paner loses.
Qin Yulan was sarcastic, she could understand...
Looking at the tea on the table, Ruan Youning suddenly felt a little depressed.
She is open-minded, but that doesn't mean she isn't sad...
On a normal day, after her studio completes a project, her parents and Cheng Cheng will hold a simple banquet to celebrate her.
But right now...
Forget it.
Ruan Youning was stunned for a moment, and the joy he had just felt was diluted a lot. Even when Xiaolin asked her to confirm the travel plan, she was absent-minded. She just took a rough look and approved it.
She was staring blankly at the black screen of the computer in front of her when suddenly her phone rang.
After seeing the text message, Ruan Youning felt a surge of joy in her heart. She couldn't help but jump up, quickly put on her coat, and walked downstairs.
When she got out of the building, she immediately saw the man leaning on the car.
The man was wearing a black trench coat, with handsome features and a slight sense of alienation. He was holding a cup of hot drink. Perhaps he had just arrived. The hot drink was still steaming in the cold weather.
"Ajing!"
A strong longing swept through his body, and Ruan Youning almost rushed forward.
Her eyebrows were curved, her hands were wrapped around the man's waist, and like a puppy, she took a deep breath of the man's scent.
Just as Ruan Youning missed him, so did Song Shijing.
He put one arm around her waist and kissed her.
In the past twenty years, the two of them had not met much. Ruan Youning was busy day and night, almost living in the studio.
Song Shijing didn't want to take up her working time, so he just ordered three meals a day and delivered them on time.
He can't help her much with her work, but he will try his best to do everything in her daily life.
Song Shijing had calculated the time early, and came today at the right time.
Ruan Youning couldn't get enough of Song Shijing's scent. She couldn't help but rub Song Shijing's chest and muttered: "Ajing, I finally finished all my work today. I'm really going to vomit from exhaustion. Rushing for manuscripts is really not something human beings do.”
Song Shijing didn't have time to answer.
Ruan Youning suddenly raised his head, his eyes particularly bright, "But how come you came at just the right time?"
Song Shijing stared intently into the eyes of the woman in his arms, raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled softly, "I miss you very much, so I came here."
His thoughts were always straightforward and brief, expressed directly in his mouth.
Even though he had heard it countless times, Ruan Youning still couldn't help but feel moved.
Song Shijing resisted the urge to kiss Ruan Youning in public, and separated slightly. He opened the car door, "Ningning, get in the car first. It's cold outside."
"Uh-huh."
Ruan Youning responded obediently and got into the car.
As soon as it was done, Song Shijing handed her the hot drink in his hand, "Ning Ning, drink some, it won't be good if it's cold."
His movements were skillful and natural. For a moment, Ruan Youning felt like he was an old couple.
