658 Single for Life 2 (1/2)

However, Song Qingchun had no idea that it was not a coincidence. Su Zhinian knew beforehand that she was taking the pictures at Red Garden's Meilin, so he also decided to have his business meeting there.

The date and venue of Song Qingchun photoshoot, Su Zhinian had heard about from his mother. The main reason Auntie Su had brought that up was because she wanted to find out more about this girl that he loved.

…

Since he had work that weekend, he visited his mother earlier in the week on a Wednesday. When he arrived at his mother's place, Auntie Su had just come back from the city. She was pleasantly surprised to see him and hurried alongside the maid to prepare a scrumptious dinner for him.

During dinner, Auntie Su suddenly told him, like she had just remembered something, ”I just came from back from the hospital today.”

He was shocked and quickly turned around to ask, ”Are you not feeling well?”

”No, it's not that…” His mother seemed to hesitate before adding, ”I was there to visit your Uncle Song.”

The shock fell from his face, and he nodded matter-of-factly. His mother put a piece of chicken on his plate. ”I heard about his sickness while I was playing mah-jongg with my friends. They told me it was serious. After all, I've known him for years, and when I was sick, he even volunteered to take care of you, so in any case, I had to visit him.”

Su Zhinian nodded in agreement.

His mother seemed to be hesitating. She stared at his face like there were words on her lips, but she did not know how to begin.

Even though she did not voice it out loud, he understood what she was going to say. Regardless, she continued. ”Ah Nian, your Uncle Song has always treated you well. When you're free, you should go visit him.”
