Chapter 49: Xia Ru’nan Came Looking for You
Song Mingxiu looked at Song Qinghuan patiently with interest, which was mixed with a little complicated tenderness, as if he was looking at his pet.
Song Qinghuan was watched by him with such a look and felt some anxiety deep in her heart. To avoid showing her real emotion, she lowered her eyes, hid her doubt, and straightly refused, “No. Grandma doesn’t allow me to enter the entertainment industry. I need to focus on my studies.”
Song Qinghuan used the old lady’s words to reject Song Mingxiu, which surprised the latter!
Before coming over, Song Mingxiu had anticipated a different outcome: after seeing this contract, Song Qinghuan would be so moved and would definitely sign the contract with eagerness.
Song Mingxiu frowned, and his expression was indifferent. He was displeased to see his plan disrupted by others.
After Song Qinghuan left, Song Mingxiu didn’t open his mouth again. The sky was full of red clouds, and the night fell on the city completely. Song Mingxiu saw a gift box there where Song Qinghuan sat earlier.
He raised his eyebrows in surprise as he found that it was the car key Song Yueming gave to Song Qinghuan. The car was parked in the garage of the villa, and Song Qinghuan left without taking the gift.
After returning from Dongyang City, Song Qinghuan devoted herself to her studies while devoting part of her energy to recalling the events of the previous life to seek some good business opportunities for herself.
Song Qinghuan had collected more money. Wan’ning City had taken on a new look as the new season came in November.
The path on the campus of Xinghan Music Academy was full of ginkgo leaves.
After Song Shuyao was discharged from hospital, Xia Ru’nan personally sent her to Wan’ning City. During this period, she never entered the Song Family, which showed that the old lady had completely given up on Song Shuyao.
Even Xia Ru’nan was also badly influenced. Both the mother and daughter lost their former status. The dark circles under Xia Ru’nan’s eyes could not be covered with even the most expensive concealer.
After having a serious conflict with Song Shuyao in the Song Family last time, Song Qinghuan spent even less time at home. Xia Ru’nan couldn’t reach or find her. Finally, Xia Ru’nan just showed up on the campus of Xinghan Music Academy with a hypocritical smile.
When Song Qinghuan saw Xia Ru’nan, she was jogging back to her dormitory with headphones.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Xia Ru’nan wore a black ladies’ professional outfit on high-heeled shoes. She was carrying a luxury purse that was worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. At this hour, the passing classmates couldn’t help but look at this queen-like lady.
Xia Ru’nan showed a smile when seeing Song Qinghuan. The previous arrogance disappeared instantly, and she took a few steps towards Song Qinghuan. Her smile was gentle, and her voice was not loud, but the surrounding students could hear her clearly, “Huanhuan.”
Song Qinghuan stopped jogging, and her cheeks were flushed. Sweat was still on her face, and her chest was heaving as she breathed. She suddenly heard Xia Ru’nan’s voice and looked stiff for a moment, and then she took off the towel on her neck to wipe the sweat to cover that stiffness.
“You haven’t been home in recent weeks. I’m worried about you, are you okay at school?” Xia Ru’nan came to Song Qinghuan with a tone of care. She reached out and rubbed Song Qinghuan’s hair. She looked like a loving mother now.
“This is Song Qinghuan’s mother.”
“High-flying woman! She looks good too!”
“Did you see the bag in her hand? IM’s new item this autumn. A small bag like this costs more than 600, 000.”
“Are you stupid? If Song Qinghuan’s family has no money, could she afford to live in a double dormitory?”
“Right.”
The onlookers were discussing while watching.
The common dormitories of quadruple rooms at Xinghan Music Academy were the same as the ones in other schools, except having an additional independent toilet. However, the double dormitory building of Xinghan Music Academy costs more than 100, 000 yuan per year. It was thus dubbed the “dormitory building for the nobles”.
Song Qinghuan didn’t know about this at first. It wasn’t until she went to a classmate’s dormitory to get some files that she accidentally discovered that people lived in different kinds of dormitories.
Just when Xia Ru’nan thought that Song Qinghuan would hate touching her and get mad at her as before, Song Qinghuan put down the towel and smiled at her, “Mom, you’re finally done with work, I miss you so much.”
Xia Ru’nan’s fingers stiffened, and she was obviously surprised by Song Qinghuan’s “intimate” move. Glancing at the students looking at her, Xia Ru’nan still smiled gently and said, “Sorry, mom ignored you because of work.”
Song Qinghuan squinted her eyes with a smile. She said in a sweet voice, “It does not matter.”
Xia Ru’nan originally wanted to blame Song Qinghuan for not coming home. Never did she expect that Song Qinghuan, this cunning girl, shifted the blame onto her for putting her career first.
Both of them smiled, acting like the affectionate mother and daughter. When they got into Xia Ru’nan’s car, which was parked on the side, Song Qinghuan still looked at Xia Ru’nan smilingly with one hand on her cheek.
Xia Ru’nan suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable. She wanted to disguise herself as the “amiable mother” as before to trick Song Qinghuan, but only a few months later, Xia Ru’nan found that she could not understand her crafty daughter.
“Did you have dinner?” Xia Ru’nan drove slowly into the main road of Xinghan Music Academy.
“Yes.” Song Qinghuan fiddled with the jade hanging on Xia Ru’nan’s rearview mirror and met Xia Runan’s eyes. She seemed to smile, “I had the pig leg for dinner.”
With a sudden brake, the wheels on the ground made a harsh sound. The inertia of the impact was strong. Although Song Qinghuan had the seatbelt on, she was still pushed forward uncontrollably. Fortunately, she didn’t get hit.
Xia Ru’nan did not disguise herself any more. She stared at Song Qinghuan fiercely, and veins on the back of her hand that was holding the steering wheel were even more protruding.
However, Song Qinghuan was not afraid of her madness. She blinked innocently and asked, “What’s the matter, mom?”
“Shut up!” Xia Ru’nan scolded her in a nasty voice.
“Huh.” Song Qinghuan showed a mocking grin, and her voice was listless, “Ms. Xia, your temper is really getting hotter, this is not very good, look at yourself…”
Song Qinghuan’s slightly cool fingertips pointed at the corner of Xia Ru’nan’s eyes before she said in a sympathetic tone, “The wrinkles in the corners of your eyes have deepened again.”
Xia Runan’s breathing was a little bit heavier out of the anger with Song Qinghuan.
“What do you want?” Xia Ru’nan gave in for Song Shuyao at last.
“Ms. Xia, what are you talking about? Somehow, I don’t understand.”
“Don’t you understand?” Xia Ru’nan said with a sneer, “You know more than others. Shuyao’s ending is caused by you!”
The sound of gnashing teeth echoed in the car. Song Qinghuan wanted to lower the window. Xia Ru’nan mistakenly thought that she was going to get out of the car. After pressing the control lock, she started the car again. This time, she drove the car and left Xinghan Music Academy quickly.
