Song Song looked at Xiao Jinghuai with anticipation, her eyes glued to him, hoping he’d cut her writing assignment by 10,000 words so she wouldn’t have to do it.
Just thinking about it made life seem so much better...
The next second, the man said, "You’re overthinking. There’s still 10,000 words left, write well. I’ll check it tomorrow night."
Song Song’s lips twitched; she knew this man wasn’t that generous. With the deadline tomorrow night, wouldn’t she have to pull an all-nighter again?
"Oh, I got it..."
Xiao Jinghuai saw the girl’s expression crumble instantly, her little mouth nearly pouting to the sky.
The expression made him want to laugh a bit.
After Xiao Jinghuai had dropped Song Song home, he didn’t come up. Song Song stood at the apartment entrance watching the Pagani speed away, feeling a little rueful...
Do she and Xiao Jinghuai have a future?
Or are they just passing through each other’s lives...
Sigh! So annoying!
Forget it, don’t think about it...
Better go up and write that assignment!
Just then, the phone in her pocket rang. Song Song reached to answer it, "Hello, this is Song Song."
"Miss Song, this is Housekeeper Xu. The old master wants you to come over; he has something to ask you..."
"Alright, I understand, Housekeeper Xu, I’ll be there right away."
"..."
Afraid that Sister-in-law Zhou would worry, Song Song quickly went upstairs to inform her before rushing to the Xiao Family’s old house. She wondered why Grandpa Xiao wanted to see her?
Thinking of Grandpa Xiao, Song Song couldn’t help but think of Xiao Jinghuai. The two are quite similar; they both have stern expressions that inspire awe, truly deserving to be grandfather and grandson.
At the old house, Song Song was once again led by Housekeeper Xu to the unsmiling old man’s presence.
She sat in the same place as before, but her mood was different this time. Although the old man still looked as strict as ever, she somehow wasn’t as afraid of him.
She asked with a cheerful smile, "Grandpa Xiao, did you need something from me?"
The old man, dressed in a dark indigo Tang suit, wore a serious expression and asked, "How are things with you and my grandson?"
"Uh... alright."
"If it’s alright, then hurry and have a child to carry on the Xiao Family line..."
Upon hearing this, Song Song nearly fainted. She laughed awkwardly, "Grandpa Xiao, I think there’s a misunderstanding. When I said alright, I meant that Mr. Xiao and I are just getting along somewhat, but what you’re asking is impossible for me. Sorry!"
What the heck?
Isn’t this progressing too quickly?
How long has it been, and I’m already being told to have a baby...
With Xiao Jinghuai?
Just thinking about it felt inexplicably strange.
"You’re daring to defy me?" The old man’s face suddenly turned cold, "I gave you such a large sum of money, not for you to live the life of a wealthy wife. You must do what’s necessary! Do you understand?"
"..."
"How much did you give her?"
Suddenly, a voice interrupted, and Housekeeper Xu stammered, "Sir, I’m sorry, I couldn’t stop the young master from coming in!"
To Song Song, this voice was all too familiar. She immediately jumped up from the sofa and turned around, only to see the man standing gloomily at the door, his gaze like ice daggers...
Their eyes met briefly before quickly looking away.
Xiao Jinghuai walked over step by step, his fists clenched, "Grandpa, how much did you give her to make her come seduce me?"
"No, no... it’s not like that."
Song Song hurriedly tried to explain.
The man’s sharp eyes suddenly darted to her, "Then what is it like? I just want to ask, did you take that money?"
"I, I took it..."
