881: Chapter 882: Successfully Arranged
Shen Dongyang and Sun Dongxiang returned only after a full two hours.
Seeing the smiles on Xiaodong and Shen Yue’s faces, it was clear that they had a good chat, which made Sun Dongxiang very happy.
“Little Song, your uncle has been yearning to play chess with you.
He made
go out with him, clearly dissatisfied.
Hurry and play a ga with him,” she said.
Xiaodong laughed: “Sure, I’ve also been looking forward to playing a few rounds with Uncle Shen.”
As the two headed to the study, Sun Dongxiang imdiately called Shen Yue into the kitchen.
While picking vegetables, she whispered, “How did it go?”
“What do you an?” Shen Yue feigned ignorance.
Sun Dongxiang glared at her daughter, saying, “You girl, playing dumb with ?
Has your relationship with Little Song progressed?”
Shen Yue laughed, “It has progressed.”
“Really?
We’ve been out for such a long ti, what have you…
done?
I’m not out of touch, I wouldn’t say anything about what you should be doing at your age.”
“Mom…
you’re overthinking it,” Shen Yue blushed and scolded, “Big Brother Song has always treated
like a sister.
He has a girlfriend.”
Sun Dongxiang let out a chuckle, “n always say that.
Isn’t there a saying—first call her sister, then call her younger sister, and in the end, she becos the wife.”
“Mom, don’t you know Big Brother Song has a girlfriend?
You still want
to be with him.
Aren’t you afraid he’ll deceive ?
That he’ll take advantage and then later we can’t even be together.”
“A good man like Little Song has to be fought for.
Are you waiting for him to court you?
That’s never going to happen; there are so many won who want to marry him now.”
Shen Yue was even more speechless, “Don’t you think that marrying him would make
feel very insecure?”
Sun Dongxiang’s hands stopped midair and she said, “Actually, that’s true.
n are always tempted by the outside world.
If you really get together with him, you’d probably spend every day worrying if soone else would steal him away.
I forgot that Little Song’s status is not what it used to be.”
“So you won’t pressure
to be with Big Brother Song anymore, right?” Shen Yue asked.
Sun Dongxiang shook her head, “Not anymore, but still, there’s a part of
that feels reluctant.
If a woman ets such a good man and lets him go, she may regret it for life.”
“Mom, don’t worry about it so much.
As for relationships, it is best to let them develop naturally.
Actually… Big Brother Song has more than one girlfriend.” Realizing that her mother would eventually find out about Song Xiaodong’s family situation once they moved to Minghe, Shen Yue decided to ntion it anyway.
“What?” Sun Dongxiang’s eyes widened in shock.
Shen Yue explained, “It’s true.
When you visit Minghe later, you’ll see.
They all live together.”
“That’s absurd.
How could Little Song be that kind of person?” Sun Dongxiang frowned.
“Mom, it’s not that Big Brother Song is fickle.
It’s just due to so special circumstances that they are together.
And Big Brother Song treats them all well, and they all love Big Brother Song just the sa,” Shen Yue explained.
“Even with so many won, he’s still not fickle?” Sun Dongxiang rolled her eyes and then said, “How can he not be moved by my daughter?
Is my daughter that undesirable?”
Shen Yue’s face darkened, “Mom, what are you really thinking?”
“I just feel a little aggrieved.
My daughter is so outstanding.
He’s found seven, and none of them include my daughter.
Isn’t that infuriating?”
“Pfft…
Mom, you don’t intend for
to beco the eighth one, right?”
“Of course not.
I only have this one precious daughter.
I wouldn’t let her beco a mistress, oh, the eighth one, for others.”
“Then that’s settled.
I’ll just treat Big Brother Song as a friend, like a brother.
That’s good enough, isn’t it?”
“Alright then, it’s a good thing nothing happened between you two, or I would really regret it.”
Shen Yue couldn’t help but laugh, “So, it’s best I make my own decisions about my affairs, right?”
“I got it, I got it.”
Noticing her mother slowing down with the vegetables, Shen Yue joked again, “You won’t stop cooking for Big Brother Song just because you can’t be his mother-in-law, right?”
“Ha…
Of course not.
Considering how much Little Song has helped your father, I should thank him.”
The atmosphere during dinner was still good, but Sun Dongxiang no longer nudged her daughter about what to do with Song Xiaodong.
Even if Xiaodong were excellent, a mother would not want her daughter to share a man with so many won.
After dinner, Lu Lang called Xiaodong.
Xiaodong answered the phone in front of Shen Dongyang without avoiding anything, saying, “Old Chief.”
At the ntion of “Old Chief”, Shen Dongyang and Sun Dongxiang both tensed up; even though Shen Dongyang was an honest and upright official, he had the sa aspirations for promotion—a realization of one’s life value.
“We’ve checked Shen Dongyang’s background, he is indeed upright and honest, so the higher-ups have agreed to your request.
They will arrange for his transfer soon, but you should know that such transfers take ti; they don’t happen imdiately.”
“Alright, once you arrange it, that will be fine.
Thank you, Old Chief.”
“What ‘Old Chief’?
I feel like I’m running errands for you now, and soon you’ll be my chief.”
“Ha…
next ti I see the Old Chief, I’ll be sure to thank you properly.”
“You must.
If you don’t sincerely thank , how could I feel at ease?”
After a few jokes, Xiaodong hung up the phone, and Shen Dongyang, from Xiaodong’s conversation, had already guessed the outco, but since Xiaodong had not said it himself, he was sowhat anxious.
“No problem, it’s been approved already,” Xiaodong said with a slight smile, putting his phone aside.
“Really approved?” Sun Dongxiang asked excitedly.
“Yes.” Xiaodong nodded, “Uncle and Auntie, you should prepare to move.
You will definitely have to live in Minghe from now on.”
Sun Dongxiang was truly overjoyed, “Great, let’s move.
Old Shen, you’re really going to be mayor.”
Shen Dongyang, however, remained composed, “Little Song, this ti…”
Xiaodong waved his hand, “Uncle Shen, please don’t be grateful to .
Otherwise, when you get there, you’ll be biased towards , which wouldn’t be good for your work.”
Shen Dongyang took a deep breath, “Alright!
I’ll be a good mayor and do my job well, but…” He smiled again, “Under the condition that I don’t violate any principles, expecting
to have no personal bias is impossible.”
“Ha…” Xiaodong laughed heartily, “Then just follow Mayor Song’s conscience.”
