Chapter 238: Beauty Trap, is grandma’s spring coming?
Song Garden is a strange place to Shen He.
The last time she came here, she just spent a crazy night with Song Jingcheng, and left Song Garden the next day.
This time when moving back to Song Garden, Shen He naturally had to take a careful look around.
As the residence of several generations of the Song family, Song Garden covers an incredibly large area. It has a unique garden park and a fruit forest and farm on the back mountain.
There is also a racecourse at the foot of the mountain.
On the back mountain, there are more than 30 employees helping with work, and they all live in the employee dormitory at the foot of the mountain.
There were more than forty servants in Song Garden.
There is a logistics team responsible for maintaining the house, gardeners who build the garden, a cleaning team responsible for cleaning, as well as a professional catering team and a medical team.
There is a majestic courtyard in Song Garden, where the owner usually works, entertains guests and holds meetings.
But the Song family members all live in separate rooms. Chinese-style villas of varying sizes are located in the four corners of the Song Garden, ensuring privacy.
The number of descendants of Song Jingcheng's lineage is declining, but the total number of the Song family's side branches is more than one hundred.
They all live outside, and whenever there are major festivals, they will bring their family members, young and old, to Songyuan for a reunion.
Only at that time would Song Garden be bustling and prosperous like a big family.
It was already evening when Shen He finished touring Song Garden on the electric car.
Su Jin called her on video and asked her how Song Yuan was doing.
Shen He told Su Jin everything he had seen along the way.
When Su Jin heard that there was an orchard and a farm behind Song Garden, her eyes lit up. She said, "How about we return the Dongye villa to Song Jingcheng, and you build me a small building in the backyard?"
"Grandma will live in the backyard from now on."
Su Jin has lived in the village all her life, and she has a deep obsession with the mountains and vegetable gardens.
In her opinion, the mountain behind Song Garden is a Feng Shui treasure land.
Shen He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She said, "You can come live in Song Garden. There is a road in the back mountain. You can take an electric car to get there. It's convenient."
Hearing this, Su Jin firmly refused, "No, you are the mistress of the Song family, it is only natural for you to move to Song Garden. Song Garden is the residence of the Song family, not Jingcheng's private residence."
"It's not appropriate for me to live in Song Garden."
Song Jingcheng is a family member of hers and Shen He. They can take Song Jingcheng to live in a cowshed, a big villa, or anywhere else.
But Su Jin is not suitable to live in Songyuan.
If this gets out, the Song family members will gossip about it behind your back.
Su Jin would not do anything that could bring trouble to Shen He.
When Shen He heard Su Jin's words, she understood what Su Jin was concerned about. After thinking for a while, she said, "I will stay here for a while. When Jing Cheng's illness is completely healed, we will move back to Dongye."
"Anyway, wherever grandma is, I'll be there." Shen He would never leave Su Jin alone to enjoy wealth and luxury.
This life was given to her by her grandmother, and she had to enjoy it together.
Su Jinle was delighted when he heard this. "Okay, then you take good care of yourself. I'll get busy first."
"Grandma, what are you busy with?" Shen He was quite curious.
Su Jin's eyes flickered and hesitated for a long time before he said, "Recently, when I was practicing Tai Chi in the park, I met a professor..."
Shen He narrowed his eyes and asked thoughtfully: "Male?"
Su Jin: "...Uh-huh."
"Grandma, can you tell me about that old man?"
Su Jin was not embarrassed. She said, "He is a professor in the history department of Kyoto University. He has been teaching and educating people all his life. He is a very gentleman."
"He is a native of Kyoto, from an ordinary family. He married his childhood sweetheart from high school and has a pair of twin daughters."
"After his wife died of lung disease 20 years ago, he raised two children alone. Today, both children have achieved success, and he has never remarried..."
Shen He listened quietly.
After hearing this, she felt disappointed.
Grandma knows the other person quite well, which shows that she is very satisfied with the old man.
Shen He asked the most crucial question: "How old is that old man?"
Su Jin fell silent suspiciously.
Shen He reminded her seriously: "Grandma, we shouldn't have secrets between a grandparent and a grandchild. Are you going to hide it from me?"
Su Jin felt a little ashamed and quickly told the truth: "Over sixty years old."
Shen He took a deep breath and said in a daze: "Grandma, the age difference between you two is almost twenty years. Are you planning to have an old cow eating young grass?"
It is not wrong to say that an old cow is chewing young grass.
Su Jin blushed and cursed, "What nonsense! Grandma is old, not a little girl."
"Grandma, have you heard of this saying?" Shen He said with a straight face, "A twilight romance is like an old house on fire, it's scary!"
Su Jin was silent for a moment before saying, "Don't worry, grandma is too old to fantasize about unrealistic things."
"I know." Shen He certainly knew that Su Jin was a sensible person.
But then again.
No matter how old Su Jin is, she is still a woman, a woman who was let down by Shen Zhenkun and gave up on love at a young age.
The professor from Kyoto had grace and elegance in his every move.
If the other party really has a crush on Su Jin and launches a pursuit attack, can Su Jin really have no reaction?
But what Shen He is really worried about is not Su Jin's love affair, but...
"Grandma, have you ever thought that the appearance of this professor is too coincidental?"
Su Jin was stunned, and asked Shen He with some caution: "What is Miao Miao suspicious about?"
"The news that you will represent the Chinese Medical Center to participate in the International Art Exchange Conference has been made public. You have become somewhat well-known on the Internet recently."
There were many young people around Shen He discussing this matter.
"You came out of seclusion to stop the Dong family from returning to the country, so won't the Dong family find a way to get rid of you, their biggest threat?"
Su Jin took a deep breath, "Are you suspecting that the Dong family is using... a beauty trap on me?"
"That's just my guess."
But Shen He's guess was unreasonable.
"Grandma, you've been heartless for half your life because Shen Zhenkun is such a jerk. But the more you hate someone, the more you care about him. I think the Dong family must have investigated your life experience."
"Does the professor you are talking about happen to be someone who suits your taste in every way?"
He is knowledgeable, cultured, and responsible. He is a dedicated father and a loving husband.
Such a man just happens to perfectly meet Su Jin's standards for choosing a partner!
Such a person did not appear earlier or later, but appeared just on the eve of Su Jin turning 80 and about to represent the National Medical Clinic to attend the International Medical Exchange Conference!
Who says it's not suspicious?
Seeing that the old house was about to catch fire, Su Jin suddenly woke up after being hit by Shen He.
"Fuck!" Su Jin cursed and said, "I'm hanging up now!"
She hung up the phone.
Shen He smiled, and guessed that Su Jin was going to verify it, so she called Meng Shan and told him to send someone to protect Su Jin.
The beauty trap is useful for women of any age.
The same goes for the beauty trap.
"Madam." Song Garden's chief steward was called Kang Bo, whose full name was Song Zhenkang. He was a close confidant of Song Jingcheng's father.
He mainly assists in managing all the affairs of Song Garden. He is the uncle who watched Song Jingcheng grow up and is now over 60 years old.
Kang Bo waited until Shen He finished her call before he quickly walked over and said to her, "Dinner is ready. Sir, please go to the restaurant for dinner."
Nodding, Shen He followed Kang Bo to the restaurant.
Song Jingcheng was sitting in the flower hall next to the restaurant reading a company report. When he saw Shen He coming back, he put down the document and asked Shen He, "You said on WeChat earlier that you had something to tell me. What was it?"
"It's about Melody. Can we talk while we eat?"
"Row."
Song Jingcheng was used to not talking while eating or sleeping. He seldom spoke during meals, and this habit became even more obvious after he moved back to Song Garden.
Most of the time, it was Shen He who was talking and he listened quietly.
"You mean, Melody is Cheng Da's secret lover?" Even Song Jingcheng was a little surprised to hear the news.
He sipped the soup and said thoughtfully, "The Cheng family and the Song family have a fairly good relationship. Cheng Yang is the most outstanding grandchild of the Cheng family."
"I had a good relationship with him in private. When he first entered politics, he often invited me to drink tea and ride horses together. But later, my health deteriorated and he was busy with work, so we contacted less and less."
"In recent years, we have been meeting three times a year."
Since becoming seriously ill, Song Jingcheng has seldom socialized. The fact that he was able to find time to meet Cheng Yang two or three times shows that he is very optimistic about Cheng Yang.
"But I've been in contact with him for so many years, and I've never discovered that he has a secret lover."
Song Jingcheng looked up at Shen He, shook his head and said, "Either this person protects Melody very well, or..."
Shen He completed the second half of Song Jingcheng's sentence: "He has no intention of making his relationship with Melody public."
"Yes."
Song Jingcheng knew that Shen He and Melody were close, so he asked, "Are you trying to stand up for Melody?"
"I'm not a nosy person, but what happened to Melody was tragic."
Hearing this, Song Jingcheng raised his eyes and looked at Kang Bo.
Cumber understood what he meant and with a glance, the employees guarding the restaurant retreated one after another.
After all the employees left, Cumber also sensibly left the restaurant.
"What's the ending of Melody?"
Shen He said hesitantly, "Life imprisonment, because the club she ran was found to be involved in drug and sex-power transactions, and she was also suspected of committing a huge bribe."
Song Jingcheng's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't feel too surprised.
"Aren't you surprised?"
Shaking his head slightly, Song Jingcheng said, "The Cheng family has a politician like Cheng Yang who has a promising future. Melody is his secret lover and runs such a famous club for him."
"It's not surprising that she ended up like you said."
It is true.
"How did she know Cheng Yang?" Song Jingcheng was more curious about the reason for their meeting.
"Melody was originally a popular online singer, and was later spotted by a major record company and signed a contract."
"But before her debut, she was almost taken advantage of. Melody refused to give in, so she smashed a bottle and inserted it into her chest, forcing the top management to back down through self-harm."
As soon as he heard this opening, Song Jingcheng guessed what would happen next—
"Although Melody managed to escape from the dinner, she also completely angered the top management. She will face even crazier revenge. So, it was Cheng Yang who helped her out?"
Shen He nodded, "That's true."
Song Jingcheng tapped the table with his right hand and said something unexpected: "This...I'm afraid it's a carefully planned pig-killing scheme."
"What?" Shen He was stunned.
