When Song Jin had praised Ning Qing in the living room, Song Yajing could still regard his words as polite conversation, but she was very surprised that her eldest brother had used the phrase “very good” in private.
“Big brother, let me tell you that I am very unhappy with Ning Qing. First, she has a bad background. Second, Shaoming is very affectionate with her, which is not good for a man.”
Song Jin smoked a cigar and flicked the ashes with one hand outside the window. “Sister, you’ve already been back for some days. You’ve had some contact with Ning Qing and Shaoming. What’s the result?”
Speaking of this, Song Yajing was not very happy. She did not speak.
“You’ve never won, have you? Look, you can’t beat Shaoming now, or even Ning Qing. I think Dinghua’s heart is biased towards your daughter-in-law, so keep your dissatisfaction to yourself in the future, because the entire Lu family will ignore it.”
Song Yajing froze, showing some panic.
“Sister, actually, women at every stage should have their specific mission. At your age, you have to understand that the mother’s status rises with the son; the better Shaoming is in the future, the better off you will be. Shaoming’s affection for Ning Qing is so deep that no one in T City is unaware of it. I think that only you don’t know about it. Don’t let the incident at the Ou family charity dinner happen again. You give yourself your own status.”
“Brother, I see.” Song Yajing nodded.
“Alright.” Only then did Song Jin showed a satisfied look, “Sister, we have survived the storms all these years as brother and sister; when has Big Brother ever steered you wrong? Big brother always judges people very accurately, this Ning Qing, I think she’s good.”
Song Yajing’s pupils shrank slightly, and she looked at her eldest brother in perplexity.
Song Jin continued with his cigar in his mouth. “I’ve been standing at the gate for a long time. What kind of goods are the mother and daughter pair from the Zhou family? Can’t you see that the Zhou family of the world’s winery king is in decline? It’s no surprise though, Zhou Heng started from scratch and only got a daughter when he was middle-aged. She was the apple of his eye and had inherited Zhou Heng’s talent in red winemaking. At the age of three, she could taste the ingredients in the red wine. At the age of six, she had made her first bottle of wine, which shocked the red wine industry. Unfortunately, there was an unexpected situation in the red wine industry. That daughter was seven years old when she got lost in the streets of the United States, and she has never been found.
“What’s the use of Zhou Heng’s adopted son? He’s useless. I saw Kong Lan and Zhou Zhilei just now. They are but mediocre women. Zhou Yuanda, Zhou Zhilei’s brother, is a genius though. Unfortunately, he’s a genius in the medical field. I can’t understand what you really like about the Zhou family.”
Song Yajing couldn’t speak. She was a woman, and naturally, she didn’t see the problem as deeply as a man.
After he had finished smoking a cigar, Song Jin snuffed it out in the car’s ashtray. He brushed at his clothes and looked at Song Yajing. “Alright, go back, sister. Remember, it was not easy for you to settle down in the position of the owner and mother of the Lu family all these years. Don’t destroy yourself again. Also, don’t think about that Zhou Zhilei; find Zhou Heng’s biological granddaughter if you can.”
The limousine sped away.
…
The elders had all left, and the servants were cleaning the villa. Lu Shaoming took Ning Qing’s little hand. “Dad, Mom, we’re going to go home.”
Song Yajing was quiet after Song Jin’s suggestion. Lu Dinghua laughed and said, “Shaoming, do you remember your mother’s birthday?”
Birthday?
Lu Shaoming looked at Song Yajing, who was also stunned. The Lu family never celebrated birthdays. They were very surprised and wondered about Lu Dinghua’s intentions at the moment.
“Yes, it’s Mom’s birthday in half a month,” Lu Shaoming answered.
Lu Dinghua patted Lu Shaoming on the shoulder and said with relief, “Fellow, so you still remember your mother’s birthday? I thought you had a wife and had forgotten your mother. How about this: This is also the first birthday of your mother after we have welcomed a daughter-in-law into the Lu family. Let Ning Qing plan the birthday banquet.”
Lu Shaoming frowned and disagreed. “Dad, Ning Qing has been pregnant for four and a half months…”
Ning Qing’s eyes shone and she quickly opened her mouth to interrupt Lu Shaoming. She laughed and said, “Dad, Mom, thank you for trusting me so much and handing me such an important task, but… I’ve just entered into the Lu family not long ago, and it’s my first time hosting such a large banquet. I am afraid that my experience will be insufficient and would not be thoughtful enough. It might aggrieve Mom.”
Lu Dinghua looked at Ning Qing with a smile. Good gal; she had asked him for amnesty order before things started.
She thinks fast.
“Ning Qing, be it a big or small banquet, it’s still your good intentions as a daughter-in-law. Besides, your mother will still be happy.”
“Well, then I shall accept the task. Dad and Mom, you can rest a.s.sured that in half a month, I will have planned a beautiful birthday banquet for Mom.”
“Alright,” Lu Dinghua glanced at Lu Shaoming. “Look, your wife is better than you. Ning Qing, I will have the housekeeper help you with this banquet. The banquet is not so easy to plan. There will be many trivial things. Come home tomorrow; I will let the housekeeper teach you the process.”
“Ok. Thank you, Dad.”
…
They left the Lu family home. They had not driven today. Lu Shaoming took Ning Qing’s little hand as they strolled along.
Summer nights were the busiest. There was a noisy crowd among the neon car lights in the city. Everyone was joking and laughing, and it was a bustling scene.
