Su Jinnian later once met Meng Chuyue and asked, "Are those high-quality fruits really gone?"
At that time, Long Yue and Fu Ran were also there. Chuyue, feeling very apologetic, said, "They’re really gone for this year, we can only wait until next year."
However, since that time, Meng Chuyue occasionally had Shen Ci send him, Long Yue, and Fu Ran three to five kilograms.
Three to five kilograms, not to mention it was hardly enough for his own consumption, even if he wanted to send some to Song Ting, he felt it was somewhat embarrassing to offer.
Su Jinnian, as usual, first asked about Song Ting’s health, "Uncle, how have you been feeling recently?"
"It’s the same as usual, let’s not talk about that. Jinnian, I have something very important to ask you," Song Ting’s tone was unprecedentedly serious.
Su Jinnian became more earnest, "Please, go ahead."
"I want to ask you if the owner of that fruit store that sells the particularly delicious fruits is called Meng Chuyue?"
Su Jinnian’s brow twitched, "Uncle, why do you suddenly ask this?"
"Just answer me, is it her?"
Song Ting was good-tempered but that didn’t mean he was timid in his actions; he had always been very efficient and bold in his doings.
With no choice, Su Jinnian had to answer first, "Yes, it’s her. How did you know her name?"
Song Ting sighed, "It’s ..."
Song Ting then told Su Jinnian about the reason Su Xiufeng kidnapped Meng Chuyue, only, he left out the part about Song Enzhi being informed.
He merely said that it was his own sudden realisation.
Su Jinnian at that moment had mixed feelings.
He couldn’t regret sending high-quality fruits to Song Ting.
Those fruits could treat Song Ting’s illness... he only hated that he hadn’t sent more.
As Song Ting said, if he didn’t do anything, Meng Chuyue was now in danger.
He knew very well what kind of people Su Xiufeng and Song Ennian were.
He cleared his throat and said to Song Ting, "Uncle, the thing is, not only is she a good friend of mine, but her fiancé is also my good brother. I will hurry back as soon as I can. Before I return, Uncle, if aunt or Song Ennian intends to do anything harmful to her, you tell them that she is someone I like."
After a pause, Song Ting asked, "Jinnian, tell your uncle the truth, is this last sentence true or false?"
Su Jinnian sighed, "It’s true. It’s just a pity that she already had someone she liked before we met."
Song Ting faintly smiled, "I understand, let’s talk about everything else when you get back."
"Alright, I will come back as soon as I can."
Su Jinnian wished he could rush back to Imperial right that instant.
But he was a doctor, unlike some other professions where he could pause his work anytime.
He had a major surgery the next day, if he didn’t do it, the patient would have no recourse.
He could only wait until twenty-four hours after the surgery, once the patient was out of danger, then leave.
Moreover, he was planning to take a long leave this time, there were some processes at work to go through, and he needed to pack his luggage.
He calculated the time, and at the earliest, he could leave the day after tomorrow at noon.
He actually wanted to keep this incident a secret from Meng Chuyue.
Well, Song Ting just forgot to tell him that Meng Chuyue was free to make phone calls, and Shen Ci should have already known her whereabouts.
If Su Jinnian knew this, he definitely wouldn’t have hesitated.
After agonizing for a while, he eventually told Shen Ci about Meng Chuyue being at Song Family’s Medicine Garden.
He also sincerely apologized, "I’m sorry, Ah Ci, I didn’t know it would turn out ."
Shen Ci didn’t blame Su Jinnian at all.
He knew that many wealthy people in Imperial were aware of Jimei Fruit Store’s high-quality fruits and had been eagerly buying them.
Even if Su Jinnian hadn’t sent the fruits to Song Ting, the Song Family would have come to know about it anyway, and the current situation wouldn’t have changed.
After explaining this to Su Jinnian, he said, "The Song Family said that as long as Yueyue doesn’t leave at will, she has relative freedom, so Uncle Han and I are planning to go accompany her, and at the same time try to start a business over there. We’ll set off the morning after tomorrow."
