Song Yansheng felt a little guilty towards his mother.
His mother was willing to accept Shi Nuan, which was already the biggest compromise she could make for him. As her son, repeatedly putting her in a difficult position was truly something he shouldn’t do.
He nodded and said, "Mom, you and Qingyang go watch the opera. Nuannuan and I won’t leave today; we’ll stay for the night!"
Hearing this, Yu Yao was momentarily stunned, then delighted: "That’s great, I’ll come back early after the opera!"
She originally intended to have some tea with Song Qingyang’s mother, Liang Yue’e, but with her son and daughter-in-law at home, she naturally had to return early.
Song Yansheng and Shi Nuan escorted Yu Yao to the car and watched as it drove away.
Only then did they turn around to head back.
Shi Nuan walked forward with her head lowered, step by step. Song Yansheng had said they would stay the night, which wasn’t what he had said earlier.
But she also roughly understood Song Yansheng’s intention, so she didn’t want to say much.
Song Yansheng held her hand and said, "I’ve already made a call. Your computer and change of clothes will be delivered soon. I hope you understand!"
Shi Nuan glanced at Song Yansheng, wondering if he was explaining himself to her.
There really wasn’t any need for such an explanation.
"By the way, your graduation thesis should be mostly drafted by now. Would you like me to give you some pointers when the computer arrives?"
"No need, I can manage on my own!"
Shi Nuan hadn’t put her all into this thesis, only seeking a stable graduation and passing.
If she appeared too sharp, she feared it wouldn’t be easy when she entered the Shi Family in the future.
Yu Yao sat in Song Qingyang’s car, silently gazing out the window along the way, not saying much.
Song Qingyang glanced at Yu Yao several times, wanting to say something but ultimately remaining silent.
The one to break the silence was Yu Yao. She asked Song Qingyang, "Qingyang, is there something you want to say to me?"
Song Qingyang’s thin lips moved slightly, knowing it was pointless to keep it hidden now.
She said, "Second Grandmother, I’m sorry, there’s something I’ve kept from you. Actually, the person who bought the opera tickets this time wasn’t me..."
Yu Yao’s brows furrowed slightly, but her expression remained composed as she asked, "Who was it?"
Song Qingyang’s long eyelashes fluttered, the knuckles of her fingers gripping the steering wheel tensing slightly.
She said, "It was...Sister Jingyun!"
Yu Yao usually spent most of her time either at the Song Family Mansion or at the hospital.
And in both places, there were Song Yansheng’s people protecting her at all times.
Ever since Song Yansheng decided to marry Shi Nuan, Yu Yao had received a few calls from Chu Jingyun.
But there was nothing left to say. Chu Jingyun wanted to meet her, but Yu Yao refused entirely.
Yu Yao’s refusal wasn’t because she disliked Chu Jingyun, but rather because she didn’t want to make her son unhappy.
Her son had once been very close to Chu Jingyun. At the time, she thought the two were in love, but when she asked her son, he denied it.
During that time, Chu Jingyun occasionally came to the mansion to see her and was quite close to her as well.
Back then, Yu Yao really thought her son and Chu Jingyun might end up together.
Yu Yao didn’t have many dissatisfaction with Chu Jingyun. Her family was well-educated and cultured, and Chu Jingyun was a university teacher with indisputable temperament, looks, and figure.
Although her son’s heart had been set on Shi Nuan for years, back then, Shi Nuan was ultimately Song Yichuan’s fiancée.
Compared to Shi Nuan, she naturally preferred Chu Jingyun.
But unexpectedly, for the next two or three years, her son’s relationship with Chu Jingyun remained lukewarm, without any progress.
