Gu Baisheng felt a little upset and then sighed silently.
For her, it was slightly ludicrous as well.
Sure enough, her mother-in-law was still unwilling to resign herself to her son's decision.
Failing to separate Gu Baisheng and her son years before,
Now she was about to resort to her old tricks and match wits with her son once again.
Rather than setting a honey trap, Lin Fengya made it absolutely clear that she couldn’t tolerate a woman who moved into Song Family while carrying with another man's child.
She was quite smart, knowing that the decision made by Song Shuang was caused by his great obsession with Gu Baisheng's beauty.
"Beauty lies in lovers' eyes" was true for those who were madly in love. Song Shuang would not get interested in any other girl no matter how attractive she was.
But it was different this time.
Everyone knew that Song Shuang had already fallen out of love with Bai Shengsheng.
It was exactly a good time to make a honey trap.
Seeing Bai Shengsheng, Bai Qiong gave a gentle smile and said in a ladylike voice, "Miss Bai, look at you! You are an absolute stunner! No wonder they say seeing is believing."
The compliment, however, had its complication.
It was notoriety, in fact, which made her well-known by others.
But she deserved to be called a stunner.
The connotative compliment was a wolf in sheep's clothing.
The connotative compliment was enough to show that Bai Qiong was a hard character to handle.
Gu Baisheng smiled, took the arm of Song Shuang, and affectionately called Lin Fengya, "Mom."
Lin Fengya pulled a long face and didn't respond to her.
Apparently, she didn't agree with their marriage.
Gu Baisheng raised her head and said with a soft voice, "Honey, is this lady a relative of our family?"
It was the first time that she called Song Shuang "Honey." After giving her a thoughtful look, he said dispassionately, "She is the daughter of Mr. Bai, Bai Qiong."
Bai Qiong?
Could it be Bai Jinhang's daughter?
No other Family but Bai Family could have connections with Song Family while remaining celebrated in Beicheng.
That was Bai Jinhang, who rides the whirlwind in Beicheng.
Of his two daughters, the older one was knowingly preferred by him.
However, the engagement was announced the day before yesterday and Bai Jinhang even gave an agreeable response.
Given that the engaged daughter would of course choose to play safe.
The so-called Bai Qiong was absolutely the little one of Bai Family with an unknown background.
Gu Baisheng suddenly understood that why Bai Qiong determined to get herself involved at the risk of being branded 'the other woman'.
She was desperate to win credit for both herself and her disrespected mother in Bai Family.
Gu Baisheng smiled with disinterest.
She nodded to Bai Qiong, “Miss Bai, I've heard a lot about you."
Bai Qiong nodded gently in turn.
Without showing poor manners, Gu Baisheng didn't get annoyed by the unexpected presence of Bai Qiong.
Instead of feeling angry, she became rather clear about what she should do all of a sudden.
She needed to become a defender of her marriage.
Seeing that Bai Qiong offered to help in the kitchen,
Gu Baisheng was unwilling to be outdone.
She said she would also lend a hand after changing into more comfortable clothes.
Song Shuang went straight into the room in which Gu Baisheng was changing her clothes, saying, “We have Mrs. Song. You don't have to..."
Song Shuang stopped with embarrassment.
The panic-stricken lady hurriedly covered her soft and plump chest with clothes on the bed. She complained, "Why didn't you knock on the door?"
He glanced at her chest subtly and apologized for that, "Sorry, it was my fault."
"Knock at the door the next time please." Gu Baisheng frowned and then continued, "Just turn around. Don't look at me."
"I think I am quite familiar with your body." He said calmly.
She colored at his remarks and said, “Just turn around."
Song Shuang turned around but didn't go outside.
He continued, “You'd better not go to the kitchen. Bai Qiong is already there, and you don't have to compete against her on these things."
"I would rather be proactive, or your mother will become even less satisfied with me," said Gu Baisheng.
What she said also made sense.
So Song Shuang had nothing to do but let her go, “Whatever."
He opened the door and stepped out after that.
The figure he had just caught sight of still circled in his mind when he got out into the hallway.
Seemingly, there were no special feelings had arisen in him.
But in fact, the sight of her fair skin, slender waist and enchanting figure indeed reminded him of the exciting night with her that day.
It had been a long time since that night.
Maybe it had been a long time,
So when he relived the night, a sense of restlessness welled up in his heart.
...
Having changed her clothes, Gu Baisheng went straight to the kitchen.
Lin Fengya was drinking tea with Song Zhaoyang in the living room.
Seeing Gu Baisheng walked into the kitchen, Song Shuang's eyes settled on her for the moment.
Lin Fengya noticed that he was distracted.
She frowned, “What exactly do you like about her?"
"Well, what exactly do you like about Bai Qiong?" asked Song Shuang.
Hearing that, she got choked all of a sudden.
And she didn't know how to answer.
For that beauty was in the eye of the beholder, the feeling of love was more often created without reason.
The conversation between Song Shuang and his mother caught the attention of Song Zhaoyang. He put down the teacup and said to Song Shuang, "You are never a child anymore. Now that you don't have those trouble, time to be more considerate of Song Family."
Though Song Zhaoyang didn't put it crystal clear,
What he said was still comprehensible.
The so-called trouble referred to Gu Baisheng, who had already passed away.
"She was never trouble for me."
Song Shuang responded in a brusque tone.
Seeing that Song Zhaoyang was about to get angry,
Lin Fengya stared at her son, “Mind your words. You know that your father is in poor health."
"I think I behave appropriately all the time."
Song Shuang held his teacup, unwilling to see her parents' expressions.
The angry feeling gave Song Zhaoyang chest distress. He complained, "Appropriately? How could you get into the trouble with Gu Family if you truly behave in an appropriate manner?"
What Song Zhaoyang said to his son really hit the nail on the head.
A hard…
And incisive hit.
Song Shuang suddenly clenched the cup handle in his hand.
Noticing that Song Shuang started to feel upset, Lin Fengya persuaded as a mediator, "Well, let bygones be bygones."
"Of course, I don't want to talk about it, but what about Hu Hui? Can she stop to talk about it?" Song Zhaoyang was afraid of that woman.
The corner of Lin Fengya's eyes twitched. She calmed him down, “Her daughter has already died. All the dust has settled. She won't retake over the past."
"Yes, that would be best. But someone said that there is a special relationship between Bai Shengsheng and Hu Hui. Is it true?" asked Song Zhaoyang.
He also asked someone to check the identity of this new daughter-in-law.
Though there was no definite proof, some hearsay indeed reached his ears.
"Do you really believe rumors like that?" asked Lin Fengya.
Knowing that it was Hu Hui who had introduced Bai Shengsheng to her son, she still pretended to be an outsider. She said to her husband while shaking her head, "Bai Shengsheng used to be an intern of Shuang’s Hospital. The long working period finally made them fall in love with each other."
After having heard what his mother said, Song Shuang gave her a meaningful look without any objection.
Only then he believed after hearing what his wife said, "All in all, whatever you think of this woman, I disown her as my daughter-in-law."
"Will you accept the little daughter of Bai Family with an unknown background as your daughter-in-law, dad?" asked Song Shuang.
He was quite clear that Song Zhaoyang attached great importance to his Song Group.
Sooner or later, he would be made to take over the family business.
As for his future wife, she must be an honorable woman of distinguished family background, who could give greater power to his family business.
Given the poor background of Bai Shengsheng, absolutely she could not measure up.
Thinking of this, Song Zhaoyang frowned and kept silent.
Rather than making more judgment about Bai Qiong, he just said that "Anyhow, Bai Qiong can't be the choice."
Song Shuang smiled,
Derisively.
Though having a low opinion of Bai Qiong, His father still would love to get Bai Qiong involved to make him forget Bai Shengsheng.
His father was really a businessman born in nature.
"She is my wife, dad. You cannot make that decision for me," said Song Shuang.
What he said truly irritated his father.
Seeing that Song Zhaoyang glared at his son with a peevish expression on his face, Lin Fengya was almost scared.
"Come on. Look at you. It's not easy for you two to get together. Just don't become so hostile to each other," said Lin Fengya.
Worrying that they could break up in discord, she cut in hurriedly.
"How could you always irritate your father when you stay at home?" she chided.
Song Shuang got up and made no reply, just saying, "I am here only to get my things back."
Lin Fengya didn't make him stay, believing that it could be better to let him go now.
Seeing that her son was out of sight, Lin Fengya handed Song Zhaoyang a cup of tea, saying reassuringly, "Don't be impatient with him. The novelty of new married life had not worn off, so he won't listen to you no matter what you say."
In any case, Lin Fengya always sided with her only son.
Song Zhaoyang took a sip of tea and became more pacified.
He didn't say more angry words out of his respect for Lin Fengya, but just sighed and said, “As you know, I expect much of him."
“Sure,” said Lin Fengya.
Song Zhaoyang only had one son, Song Shuang, so he absolutely hoped his only son to run the family business.
Adversely, Song Shuang got no interest in it.
Years before, he also shut out the critics and went to study in the medical college.
The bold decision had already annoyed his father. And Song Shuang coupled with his marriage with Gu Baisheng later, so then the barrier between them got even wider.
The atmosphere between them was still intense when they sat side by side.
Having the same concerns in her mind, Lin Fengya thus desperately wanted to introduce another girl to her son.
However, she could not make a decision directly for her son but just exerted a subtle influence on his mind,
To make his son give up Bai Shengsheng, who came from an obscure background and couldn’t help the family business.
“Honey, you know that we can never give our family business away to an outsider.”
Song Zhaoyang turned to look at Lin Fengya.
Lin Fengya nodded in agreement.
By giving off a determined expression in his eyes, Song Zhaoyang said, “It must be my son who will manage our family business.”
Lin Fengya silently felt a little worried about Song Zhaoyang’s determination.
He cared so much for the inheritance of Song Group.
He would have already given up Song Shuang only if he had had another choice.
In that case, why did he waste his breath to talk into Song Shuang?
Fortunately, Song Shuang was his only son that he had with Lin Fengya.
No matter how discontent with Song Shuang,
He had no choice but to handle the entire family business to him. Song Shuang would be the natural one at least.
Not long after the debate of them,
The sound of a plate breaking was heard suddenly from the kitchen.
Hearing that, Song Shuang upstairs and his parents downstairs all frowned at the screeching sound.
