637: Chapter 636: Do You Know Where You Went Wrong?
Song Zhiya’s mind worked quickly—if Lin Xia decided not to transfer the shop, she would face not only her father’s stern reprimand but also Jiang Mingyuan.
The mont she thought of Jiang Mingyuan, a look of contraction crossed her eyes, and she hurriedly explained, “Lin Xia!
I admit I accidentally let sothing slip in front of your cousin, but I didn’t do it on purpose!
How could I know that even after you treated him so well, he would go to your dad and snitch?”
Lin Xia waved her hand dismissively, “I don’t want to hear this!
Just go!
Whether you slipped up or did it intentionally, you know in your heart!
As for why you did it, we both know it too well, it was all about yesterday’s incident!”
Lin Aiguo was Yu Hongli’s close uncle!
Looking at it from Yu Hongli’s perspective, when he heard that Lin Chun was leaving, it was understandable that his emotional scales tipped towards Lin Aiguo.
After all, people are sympathetic towards the underdog, with preconceived notions and ways of thinking right there.
Yu Hongli would certainly think they wanted to slip away quietly without caring about Lin Aiguo’s wellbeing!
She didn’t really bla Yu Hongli, but she couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed!
Song Zhiya saw the seriousness in Lin Xia, and she had to lower her stance, “Lin Xia!
I was wrong, okay?
Hasn’t the shop deal with my dad already been settled…
how can you go back on it now?”
Lin Xia sneered, “Why not?
I’m sure my uncle will understand !”
Outside the heavy rain poured down, sweeping away the previous stuffiness indoors and bringing a much cooler atmosphere.
In the living room, Song Yinran and Luo Xinyan were leisurely sipping tea and chatting.
Given the topic, they inevitably talked about the adorable baby in Luo Yue’s family.
Luo Xinyan spoke with a smile in her eyes, her affection for her little grandchild evident in her words.
Song Yinran, listening, couldn’t help but feel sentintal, “Xinyan!
That child is really too lovable!
Zhiyi that brat is not so young anymore; if only he could give a grandchild soon, I’d wake up laughing even from sleep!”
Luo Xinyan replied softly, “Take it slow!
He has a girlfriend, marriage and having children are just a matter of ti!”
Song Yinran was especially fond of his daughter Luo Yue, treating her as if she were his own.
Therefore, she wanted to reciprocate by being good to Song Yinran’s children.
“Ah!
His girlfriend’s family situation is a bit complicated, better left unsaid!” Song Yinran said as he poured another cup of tea for Luo Xinyan.
Seeing his change in deanor, Luo Xinyan cleverly shifted the topic.
But before they could exchange a few more words, suddenly there was a sound from the doorway of soone turning a key in the lock.
“Zhiya is back?”
Song Yinran and Luo Xinyan exchanged glances and rose together to look towards the doorway.
The Song Zhiya who entered looked pale, her face dripping with rain, her eyes red, drenched from head to toe.
Luo Xinyan, seeing her so bedraggled, rushed over, “You child, how did you get so drenched!
With such heavy rain, you should have found shelter…
Quick, take off your shoes, and I’ll get you a dry towel!” saying this, she hastily went to the bathroom.
Song Yinran also expressed his concern, “Quickly change out of your wet clothes, don’t catch a cold!
“Mm,” Song Zhiya nodded, her head down as she changed shoes.
She had wandered outside hesitantly for a long ti before finally returning ho.
Feeling the warmth from her father and stepmother wash over her, her heart ward, and her moist eyes grew hot again.
At this mont, she felt deeply aggrieved and regretful!
The grievance was because she had caught Jiang Mingyuan and Lin Xia in an embrace, which she had walked in on.
But he showed not a hint of guilt or any explanation, even boldly claiming that there was nothing improper between them.
It was as if any complaint she made would mark her, Song Zhiya, as petty and unreasonable!
Her own brother also advised her to be more generous and not to be nitpicky!
But why shouldn’t she be nitpicky?
Jiang Mingyuan was her boyfriend!
He had embraced another woman; couldn’t she even feel angry, annoyed, or jealous?
Yet at the sa ti, she was filled with regret for being irrational and resorting to underhanded thods, which placed her in an embarrassing situation!
She thought for a long ti and didn’t know what was waiting for her…
“Zhiya!
Dry your hair quickly!”
Luo Xinyan’s voice broke Song Zhiya’s tumultuous thoughts, and obediently, she took the white towel handed to her by Luo Xinyan, whispering her thanks.
“You’re welco!” Luo Xinyan looked at Song Zhiya with concern, seeing her pale, and quickly suggested, “Let make you so ginger water, to make you sweat a bit!”
“Aunt!
There’s no need for such trouble!” Song Zhiya’s voice trembled slightly, “I’ll be fine just changing into so dry clothes in my room!”
Song Yinran had just been focused on Song Zhiya being drenched from the rain and hadn’t really paid attention to her expression!
Now, hearing that her voice was off and that her eyes were red, he frowned and asked, “How did the inventory go?
Have Lin Xia and the others co back yet?”
At the ntion of Lin Xia by Song Yinran, Song Zhiya’s motion of drying her hair paused, and she bit her lower lip, “Dad!
I have sothing to tell you!” After saying that, she glanced at Luo Xinyan.
She understood that it was better for her to tell her father herself about what she had done.
Seeing this, Luo Xinyan imdiately smiled gently, “It’s about ti for the child to wake up.
I’ll go upstairs and check!”
She realized that the father and daughter needed to speak, and her presence was truly inconvenient.
After Luo Xinyan left, Song Yinran did not rush Song Zhiya to speak but rather out of concern for his precious daughter, let her go back to her room to change her clothes before coming down to the living room to talk.
Song Yinran silently poured a cup of hot tea.
He had a premonition that, based on his understanding of his daughter, her coming back looking like this definitely ant sothing had happened, and it was very likely related to Lin Xia!
But what could it be?
He shook his head with a smile, young people’s issues were truly beyond his guess!
Song Zhiya changed her clothes quickly, and when she ca out, she took the tea that Song Yinran offered her, holding the cup with both hands as she sat beside him.
Song Yinran was originally prepared to wait patiently for Song Zhiya to speak, but she seed to clam up, silently sipping her tea, staring blankly into space without uttering a word.
“Go ahead, tell !
What happened?”
“Dad!
Sothing happened!” Song Zhiya’s voice was imdiately laced with grievance and a hint of a sob, “I went to the store yesterday to look for Jiang Mingyuan, and then Lin Xia was there too.
I overheard from outside the office door…
they embraced each other…”
Song Yinran’s eyes widened in shock, “They… how could they?
Could there be a misunderstanding?”
In his mind, Lin Xia was not the frivolous type and Jiang Mingyuan was a gentleman; such a thing should not have occurred!
Song Zhiya’s emotions surged even more, and at this point, there was nothing for her to hide!
“Dad!
How could it be a misunderstanding!
Jiang Mingyuan himself said, it was a farewell hug because Lin Xia was leaving!
But I feel it was more than that, Jiang Mingyuan’s eyes were red!
Dad, you don’t know, he used to really like Lin Xia, but Lin Xia liked Lu Zheng, so they never got together…”
