Song Yan was determined to get into the crux of the matter which was why when she heard Yan Guo say that the Chen family was looking for her, she nodded and immediately agreed, " I understand, Brother Guo. I will definitely go and check up on Miss Chen Xi. No matter what she has helped my brother-in-law, I will have to repay her kindness."
Because there were onlookers who seemed to be paying attention to her conversation with Yan Guo, Song Yan pretended to be indebted to Chen Xi's gratitude and did not say anything against her. Yan Guo wanted to say something but when he saw that the onlookers were all staring at the two of them, he could only sigh and then bid goodbye to Song Yan as he turned to leave while telling Song Yan to be careful in a soft voice.
Since the Chen family was looking for her, Song Yan went to the Chen residence at once. Song Yan had originally thought that Old Master Chen and Old Madam Chen will not like her visit as much as Commander Chen and maybe they will try to make things difficult for her but instead as she stepped inside the house, she saw that both husband and wife were smiling at her rather enthusiastically. Commander Chen on the other hand seemed to be troubled but when he saw her, he smiled politely and did not say anything to her which further confused Song Yan.
As soon as Song Yan stepped inside the Chen house, Mother Chen who was smiling at her raised her body from the couch on which she was sitting and then walked over to where Song Yan was and then patted her on the back of her hand before she called her affectionately, " Miss Song, you are here? It's good that you are here, I was just thinking about going to look for you now that Xi Xi is awake, it's all thanks to you that she is completely fine. If it was not for your help, I am afraid that Xi Xi would have suffered a lot. I am glad that you are here," as she spoke, she tugged Song Yan inside the house. " By the way, I am really sorry about what happened yesterday, I was too worried about my daughter and said some things that might have caused you and your to be upset with me. Please tell your grandfather-in-law that I am really sorry about that, and if he does not mind, I want to invite him to dinner at our house."
Though Madam Chen sounded like she was very grateful and that she was rather apologetic about what happened yesterday, Song Yan did not see an ounce of sincerity in her eyes. When she heard that Madam Chen wanted to invite her family to dinner, Song Yan could not help but frown in confusion. Just what was going on with this family? What were they planning now?
Commander Chen on the other hand interrupted his mother, he glared at her ever so subtly and then turned to look at Song Yan before saying, "Sister-in-law, you can go up. Sister Chu Chu and Sister Xi are in their room."
Song Yan heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Commander Chen was helping her. She nodded and replied, " Sure, thank you, Commander Chen." Then she turned to look at Old Madam Chen and Old Master Chen before adding, " I will be going now, Master Chen, Madam Chen."
As she turned around she heard Old Master Chen enthusiastically say, " Just call us Uncle and Aunt, why are you being so polite, Yan Yan?"
When Song Yan heard the words of Old Master Chen, her eyes twitched a little. She was very away from the fact that a solicitous attitude was nothing more than a facade for hiding the real intentions oneself, but she still nodded and then turned to walk up the stairs.
Once she went upstairs, Old Madam Chen's face regained its coldness which she showed to Song Yan and the rest of the Fu family all the time. There was no hint of the smile that she had just shown to Song Yan when the latter stepped inside the Chen residence.
When Old Master Chen saw his wife acting like this, he sighed faintly and then said in a rough voice, " Why are you acting like this? You should have understood Xi Xi's heart by now right? Did you not see how she reacted when we told her about that Ning boy? The Fu family is connected to the Ning family now. It would be a good thing if we could use this opportunity to push Xi Xi close to young master Ning, that way we will be at ease and would not have to worry about anything anymore.
Old Madam Chen wanted to say something in the beginning but when she heard her husband's words, she recalled how Chen Xi blushed when she heard her mention Ning Ying. Old Madam Chen thought that her younger daughter had no one in her heart but last night Chen Chu Chu told her that Chen Xi had once worked with the Ning corporations and ever since then she had fallen for young master Ning.
If it was before, Old Madam Chen would have tried to break Chen Xi's bubble and would have asked her to stop fantasising but now that Fu Yu Sheng's younger brother was engaged to Ning Ying's sister, she thought that it was possible for Chen Xi to get closer to Ning Ying but at the same time she was rather upset when she thought about how the useless son of Fu family was going to get married to the Ning family making the Fu family incomparable to other families.
Old Madam Chen had hated the Fu family ever since Old Master Fu refused to let her daughter marry into his family and thus when she heard that they will have to rely on the Fu family again, she could not help but say in a sour tone, " Are you sure that idiotic grandson of Old master Fu will be able to marry into the Ning family? Looking at him it seems that he is struggling to stand up on his feet and is far worse than his brothers, will he really get married to Ning Yu? What if their engagement falls through? Then wouldn't our Xi Xi suffer?"
