Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Is this the real mother?
Not long after, Xiao Jinghuai drove Song Song to the residential area where she rented an apartment—
Just as Song Song wanted to escape immediately, the man suddenly grabbed her small hand, "Wait!"
Wait for what?
What the hell are we waiting for!
She felt like she was drowning already...
"Uncle, let go. I want to go home!"
Did he really think she had no dignity at all? What was the situation now, wasn’t he aware?
And still, he was deliberately teasing her like this.
Xiao Jingya asked in a deep voice, "What did Taozi say to you?"
Taozi?
Song Song suddenly woke up from her anxious state and completely forgot her agreement with Taozi...
No, something felt off?
If he already knew she was deceiving him, wouldn’t that mean he...was aware of Taozi’s intentions?
Then wouldn’t Taozi get caught halfway?
Suddenly, Song Song gave up struggling because she didn’t know from the start whether this was right or wrong?
She admired Taozi’s carefree nature and liked Huohuo’s bold actions.
Because she lacked these traits herself, she particularly wanted to support them...
She knew it was wrong but still irrationally wanted to help.
Soon, the inside of the car became quiet; aside from Song Song’s naturally soft voice, there was nothing else.
"...Actually, she didn’t say much, just that she didn’t want to miss someone she truly liked, something like that."
"That was all it took to persuade you?"
Xiao Jinghuai’s eyes were dark, looking even more mysterious in the black night, "You really are still young..."
The word "young" particularly struck Song Song. She suddenly turned to glare at the man’s perfect side profile, then decisively opened the car door and got out!
Xiao Jinghuai didn’t stop her at this moment and only took a cigarette from the glove compartment, lighting it slowly—
It seemed he had expected that she wouldn’t get far before coming back.
Sure enough, within ten seconds, she returned.
The car door was opened again. She reached in and grabbed the cushion, hugging it to her chest, "I’ll—I’ll clean it for you. Goodbye!"
"..."
Watching her leaving with an embarrassed little face, Xiao Jinghuai couldn’t help but want to laugh. Watching her small figure walk away, he pulled out his phone from his pocket and dialed a number...
But before the call rang twice, he hung up directly!
"Oh well, maybe letting go appropriately once is not a bad thing."
Most importantly, he knew Cheng Hennan; he would definitely risk his life to protect Shang Tao.
...
As soon as Song Song got back, she rushed into the bathroom, and when she came out, she had already showered and changed into a long Pikachu-patterned nightgown.
At that moment, Huo Huohuo and Song Xueqin were in the living room watching an eight o’clock TV drama. Although they weren’t truly mother and daughter, their sitting posture was remarkably synchronized...
Song Song walked over expressionlessly and said, "I have something to tell you."
"Speak—"
"Speak—"
The two replied in unison.
Standing up, Song Song took over the popcorn both of them were holding, grabbed a handful, and stuffed it into her mouth. After chewing, she said, "I’m going to teach in the countryside."
Huo Huohuo frowned, "Teaching? Do you mean going to some wilderness to teach some wild kids?"
"Correct!"
"Are you crazy, sis? Aren’t you asking for punishment this way?"
Song Song’s eyes were firm, "I’m not crazy. On the contrary, I’m very clear-minded. I’m not discussing this with you but formally notifying you!"
"That’s it, I’m going to sleep. Here, your popcorn back..."
Huo Huohuo wondered, "What happened? Mom, is my sister provoked by someone? You should stop her!"
Song Xueqin glanced at the direction where Song Song left, then picked up a piece of popcorn and tossed it into her mouth, saying slowly, "Watching TV is more important."
Huo Huohuo’s inner voice: Damn! Is this my real mom?
