Chapter 278: It's a pity he married too early

Song Rongyu couldn't quite understand the reverence his grandfather had for Ye Chen.

Old Master Song regarded Ye Chen as a god, for reasons similar to Shi Tianqi. Both of them were elderly men in their twilight years. The older they got, the more they knew their fate, and the more they feared their fate—in plain terms, they were afraid of death.

However, Song Rongyu was not yet thirty. If someone told him that someone could make him live five years longer in the future, he might not care at all. But for an old man in his twilight years, if someone could make him live five years longer, that person was a true god in his eyes, comparable to a living Bodhisattva.

Song Wanting could understand her grandfather's psychological thoughts to some extent. After all, unlike Song Rongyu, she also had a divine medicine gifted by Ye Chen. That divine medicine had been hidden in her car by her, and except for herself and Ye Chen, no one knew about it.

With that medicine, Song Wanting felt an unprecedented sense of security, because she knew that if she encountered any misfortune, as long as this medicine was in her hand, she would have a chance to turn the tide and survive.

This kind of opportunity, just telling others about it, no one would think it was anything special, because they knew that such an opportunity couldn't possibly have anything to do with them.

Song Rongyu was the same.

He knew that Ye Chen's divine medicine was incredibly precious. If he could get one, he would definitely use it to curry favor with his grandfather, and then strive to make his grandfather look at him more highly. Maybe he could inherit more assets from the Song family in the future. He wouldn't be like Song Wanting, keeping the medicine for herself.

It wasn't that Song Wanting wasn't filial to her grandfather; it was more that she felt this medicine represented Ye Chen's care for her.

Ye Chen definitely hoped that she would keep this medicine for herself. Therefore, deep in her heart, she didn't want to live up to Ye Chen's expectations for her, and she didn't want to use something Ye Chen gave her to win her grandfather's appreciation.

At this time, Old Master Song suddenly remembered something and blurted out, "By the way, Rongyu, Wanting, if you two have nothing to do after eating, go to the Qingshan Mental Hospital together."

"Qingshan Mental Hospital?!" Song Rongyu asked in surprise, "Grandpa, why are we going there? Is there something wrong?"

Old Master Song said, "A descendant of the Wu family from Suzhou and Hangzhou has come to Jin Ling. I heard that a junior in their family had some trouble, so they rushed over urgently."

As he spoke, Old Master Song added, "The one who came is Wu Donghai, the eldest son of the Wu family, who is of the same generation as your father. But your father is not in Jin Ling now. As his elder, it is not appropriate for me to go over, so you and Wanting should go and visit. After all, the relationship between our two families has always been good."

Song Rongyu nodded and suddenly realized, "I remember now. The kid on the short video platform a while ago who went crazy and was grabbing shit to eat everywhere, that seems to be a junior of the Wu family, right?"

"Oh, brother..." Song Wanting put down her chopsticks and said helplessly, "We're still eating. Why do you have to talk about such disgusting things..."

Song Rongyu laughed and said, "Sorry, sorry, just a slip of the tongue."

Old Master Song had also seen that video, and his expression suddenly became a bit disgusted, so he also put down his chopsticks and said, "I heard that the junior of the Wu family has been in Qingshan Mental Hospital for the past two days, so you go and greet them. Mainly, say hello to Wu Donghai and tell him that your father is not in Jin Ling, so he can't come to visit, and ask him not to take offense. By the way, also send my regards to their family's old master."

"Okay, Grandpa." Song Rongyu nodded hurriedly.

The Wu family of Suzhou and Hangzhou is the number one family in Jiangnan, and their strength is a notch above the Song family. The Song family can rank in the top five in Jiangnan, but they can't get into the top three.

The top few big families actually have close contact and connections with each other. Generally, when someone arrives on their home turf, the host will also entertain them with all their heart to show sincerity.

Song Wanting asked at this time, "Grandpa, should we bring any gifts?"

Old Master Song said, "A few years ago, someone gave me a piece of cold jade, which has the effect of calming the mind. You take it and give it to Wu Donghai, saying it's for the sick junior in their family. The effect might not be great, but it's better than nothing."

Song Wanting nodded and said, "Okay, Grandpa, I understand."

At this time, Old Master Song stood up and said to Song Wanting, "Wanting, come with me."

"Okay, Grandpa." Song Wanting didn't know why, so she hurriedly got up and followed her grandfather to his study.

In the study, Old Master Song sat tremblingly on the rosewood chair and asked Song Wanting, "Wanting, I ask you, how is your progress with Master Ye recently?"

As soon as Song Wanting heard this, her face turned red, and she said, "Grandpa, I... I... that..."

Old Master Song laughed, "You child, what's there to be embarrassed about? Just say whatever you have to say!"

Song Wanting said awkwardly, "Grandpa, Master Ye is actually quite busy recently, and we almost have no chance to meet..."

Old Master Song's expression was a bit disappointed, "Wanting, you can't just drag it out like this! You are still young, but Grandpa is already on the verge of death. You can wait, but Grandpa can't wait for a few years..."

As he spoke, Old Master Song hurriedly added, "Wanting, Grandpa said this not to moralize you, nor to force you to be with Master Ye. It's mainly because Grandpa can see that you truly like Master Ye in your heart, right?"

Song Wanting nodded gently, her face burning red.

She was truly becoming more and more infatuated with Ye Chen.

A strong woman like her likes capable men the most. The more capable the man, the more charming she finds him.

Therefore, there was no suspense about her infatuation with Ye Chen; it was simply inevitable.

Old Master Song sighed softly, "The only pity is that Master Ye married too early. However, in modern society, everyone takes these things lightly. For a man, a second marriage is nothing, and a third marriage is not a big deal. So, you don't have to care that a man has been married, and you don't have to care who his first wife was. You just need to know that what you have to do is to keep a good man by your side forever. Even if he has been married ten times, as long as he can stay by your side, it is more important than anything else."

Song Wanting nodded slightly and said piously, "Grandpa, I understand what you said. It's just that I shouldn't chase Master Ye too tightly, for fear that he will have a bad impression of me because of it, because I heard that Master Ye is very good to his wife."

"Mm." Old Master Song agreed, "In this situation, it is not wrong for you to be steady, step by step, and act secretly."

As he spoke, Old Master Song suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly, "By the way, my eightieth birthday is in a few days. You should invite Master Ye to attend the birthday banquet. Just take this opportunity to meet him and enhance your relationship."

Song Wanting said hurriedly, "Okay, Grandpa, I understand."

"Mm." Old Master Song nodded and said, "Alright, it's getting late. You go to Qingshan Mental Hospital with Rongyu to see that junior of the Wu family first!"
