"Song Ge, come in."
"Auntie, I'm here to keep you company. Uncle Zhai is drinking with those uncles." Song Ge said.
"Okay." Meng Yajing smiled happily when she saw Song Ge, looking quite gratified.
In recent years, Meng Yajing's health had not been good. Although she had recovered a great deal after some recuperation, she had been hospitalized due to excessive grief after Father Zhai's death. Since then, Mother Zhai's health had been deteriorating day by day. It took her a long time to recover from the sorrow and get out of the hospital. After leaving the hospital, she finally had a few peaceful days. Watching her son and Song Ge being sweet and happy, but such days didn't last long. Soon, Zhang Yao, Zhai Cheng's biological father, showed up. Zhang Yao's appearance completely shattered this family. Mother Zhai's illness also became more and more serious.
Meng Yajing had always worried herself sick about Zhai Cheng. At first, she was worried that Zhai Cheng couldn't find a wife. Now that he had a girlfriend, she was worried about his safety.
"Ge'er, do you know? Actually, over the years, I've always been worried that Zhai Cheng couldn't find a wife. That child rarely interacted with girls since he was a kid. Even when there were girls who liked him, he never paid any attention to them. They all said he was cold. There was even a big rumor in City M that Cheng'er had a problem with his sexual orientation. It was quite a farce." Meng Yajing recalled the things from many years ago and couldn't help but smile.
"Hahaha, there was actually such a thing. Zhai Cheng must have been furious at that time. Given his temper, he would surely find out who spread the rumor." Song Ge guessed.
This incident really did stir up quite a storm in the city back then. At the same time, Meng Yajing was extremely angry. She wanted to ask Zhai Cheng to find a girlfriend, but Zhai Cheng didn't give any explanation. He just said he didn't want to date.
"No, Zhai Cheng wasn't angry at that time. He didn't pay any attention to this matter. I really thought there was something wrong with him at that time. Now it seems that Zhai Cheng was just focusing all his attention on the group business. I misunderstood this child. Hehe." Meng Yajing couldn't help smiling when talking about Zhai Cheng. After all, Zhai Cheng's maturity made her very gratified. He never made her worry since he was a kid.
"Until he met you, Zhai Cheng finally fell in love. The stone in my heart finally dropped." Meng Yajing said to Song Ge.
Actually, Meng Yajing didn't need to tell Song Ge these things at all. She said these just to make Song Ge treat Zhai Cheng better and love him more. As a mother, she hoped that the other half of her child would give 200% of their love to her child. Because she was also a woman, she knew that what a woman wanted was the unique love from her husband.
Actually, Zhai Cheng never told Song Ge these things. Song Ge only found out about them because Mother Zhai told her tonight.
After knowing these things, Song Ge felt more touched by Zhai Cheng.
"Ge'er, do you know? Actually, before Zhai Cheng was born, his biological father, Zhang Yao, deceived the Meng family out of their money and left. Later, your Uncle Zhai took a fancy to me. He didn't mind that I was pregnant with this child and married me into the Zhai family. After Zhai Cheng was born, he said that since the child didn't have a father, he would be the child's father. So Zhai Cheng took the surname Zhai. Actually, your Uncle Zhai really loved me and was very tolerant of me. But now he has passed away." As she said this, Meng Yajing began to cry.
"Auntie, don't cry. I think Uncle Zhai also hopes that you can live happily every day." Song Ge comforted her. Song Ge could feel Mother Zhai's pain. She felt the same way every time Zhai Cheng was in danger. There was probably nothing more painful in this world than watching one's beloved die with one's own eyes.
"Ge'er, now I don't have anything else to worry about. The only thing I'm worried about is your and Zhai Cheng's safety. I treat you just like my own daughter. So you have to promise mother that you and Zhai Cheng must pay attention to safety and protect yourselves in the future." Meng Yajing's only concern was these two children. After all, too many dangerous things had happened recently. No matter how much Zhai Cheng tried to hide things from Meng Yajing, there was no such thing as a leak - proof wall in this world.
"Mother, we will. Don't worry about us. You also have to take good care of your own body. In the future, you still have to watch us get married and have children. You still have to watch your grandson come into this world." Song Ge didn't know what else to say, but she firmly believed that Mother Zhai would live healthily and their family would be happy, even though there would be many difficulties and obstacles in the future.
"Okay, okay, okay, I will."
"Ge'er, there are still a few things I want to entrust you with."
"Mother, you can say it. I will surely remember it."
"First of all, you must be careful of Zhang Yao. Although he is Zhai Cheng's biological father, they don't have any feelings for each other since Zhai Cheng was a kid. That man has always been cruel. I believe he won't let things go easily this time he comes back. So you must be careful.
Secondly, now that I'm old, I can't always help you with many things. Although Zhai Cheng is smart and has been in the business world for many years, he is still too impulsive. So in the future, you have to stop him from doing anything rash so that nothing big will go wrong.
Thirdly, you two must be good to each other in the future. I'm at ease entrusting Zhai Cheng to you, good child." Meng Yajing said earnestly. But no matter how one listened to what Meng Yajing said, it sounded like a last - will and testament.
Song Ge felt quite sad after hearing this.
"Mother, I've remembered what you said. But you have to go through all these with us. It will be good for our family to be reunited. I will take good care of Zhai Cheng. After all, he loves me so much. I will surely not let him down. Mother, you can rest assured." Song Ge said firmly.
During their conversation, the dance session of the banquet in the ballroom began. Zhai Cheng came to the study to find Song Ge for a dance. He saw the two of them chatting happily in the study.
"What are you chatting about so happily?" Zhai Cheng asked.
"Do you want to know? This is our secret. We won't tell you." Song Ge said happily.
After hearing what Song Ge said, Zhai Cheng didn't ask any more. "Mother, can I borrow your Song Ge for a while? Everyone downstairs has organized a dance. I want Song Ge to dance with me."
Meng Yajing nodded. Song Ge then followed Zhai Cheng downstairs.
When they got downstairs, the dance had already started. Everyone was dancing in the middle of the dance floor. At this time, Leng Jing and Ji Qingzhen also came to the Zhai family to wish Mother Zhai a happy birthday. After they finished their birthday wishes, they came to the dance. Zhai Cheng was just about to walk towards Song Ge to invite her to dance, but Leng Jing saw Song Ge first. She thought of the unpleasant encounter with Song Ge in the sky garden a few days ago. So she walked towards Song Ge and blocked in front of Zhai Cheng.
