Chapter 22 Don't you want him to fall in love with you?
Qin Yuhe ended the call and walked back. His assistant noticed that he looked unwell and hesitated whether to go up to him.
Qin Yuhe had already noticed his hesitant movements and stopped beside him: "What is it?"
Without further hesitation, the assistant said, "Miss Song said she wants to visit her grandmother at the nursing home. Could you borrow a four-seater car from the garage?"
Qin Yuhe: "How will you answer?"
Assistant: "I said she has the right to use everything in the Forbidden City."
Qin Yuhe corrected, "It's not the right to use, it's ownership. Everything in the Forbidden City belongs to her. She not only has the right to use it, but also the right to possess, profit from, and dispose of it."
His cold eyes swept over his assistant: "Do you understand what I mean?"
The assistant understood perfectly well that President Qin was not only giving Miss Song the Forbidden City Mansion, but also twelve luxury cars from his garage.
Any one of those twelve luxury cars would be enough for an ordinary person to work hard for a lifetime.
The assistants all wanted to go to Thailand to undergo gender reassignment surgery and marry Qin Yuhe to become Mrs. Qin.
Of course, it was just a momentary impulse, because even if he successfully underwent gender reassignment surgery, President Qin would still look down on him.
Assistant: "I'm going to deliver the car keys to Miss Song now."
Qin Yuhe said, almost in a low voice, "Why did she call you instead of me?"
Assistant: "Oh, Mr. Qin, what did you say?"
Qin Yuhe: "I said, why does my wife call you when she encounters a problem, instead of calling me?"
Assistant: "Maybe they think I'm more approachable."
Qin Yuhe's eyes turned cold: "You're really something, being so affectionate to someone else's wife."
assistant:"……"
"President Qin, what I mean is that I look older than my age. I'm in my twenties but have the face of someone in their seventies or eighties. I look like a kind old man. Women generally don't see me as a man, but as an old man, which is why they find me approachable."
"President Qin, I'm not as tall, as handsome, or as rich as you. How could I possibly be worthy of comparing myself to you, so dashing, talented, and handsome as Pan An? I'm not even worthy of your clipped toenails!"
Qin Yuhe: "In the time it takes to talk like this, the keys have already been delivered to my wife."
Assistant: "I'll deliver it right now!"
The assistant handed the keys to Song Xinya and relayed Qin Yuhe's message: "Miss Song, Mr. Qin said that everything in the Forbidden City Mansion is yours, your private property, and you have all the rights to it."
Song Xinya knew Qin Yuhe was generous, but she didn't expect him to be this generous, even giving her all the luxury cars parked in this villa.
As the assistant was leaving, he said to Song Xinya, "Ms. Song, if you need anything in the future, you can contact President Qin directly. You don't need to go through me as an intermediary."
Song Xinya asked, "Is it okay? Will I be disturbing his work?"
Assistant: "I don't mind bothering you. I think Mr. Qin would be happy to receive your message."
Song Xinya was slightly surprised, then smiled and said, "Next time I need something, I'll contact him directly."
The assistant returned to Qin Yuhe's side and quickly relayed Song Xinya's words to him.
Qin Yuhe smiled and said, "I understand."
.........
Song Xinya drove a Bentley sedan, with Song Tingye in to the downstairs of Tiantianquan's house.
Tian Tian circled the Bentley once: "Wow, being a rich wife really makes a difference. Yesterday she was driving a Porsche, today she's driving a Bentley. This life of overflowing wealth is so enviable it makes my liver hurt."
Song Xinya was too embarrassed to say that she had chosen the cheapest car in the garage to drive out.
As Tian Tian reached for the car door, Song Tingye darted out and opened it for her first.
Tian Tian Quan: "Little brother, long time no see, you've grown taller again."
Song Tingye: "Sister, it's been so long! You've become even more beautiful."
Tian Tianquan: "Oh dear, I'm just average. I can't compare to those beautiful seventeen-year-old girls in your class."
Song Tingye: "Sister, in my heart you will always be sixteen years old, even more beautiful than a seventeen-year-old girl."
Tian Tian was grinning from ear to ear, almost showing her teeth.
As she bent down to sit in the car, Song Tingye placed his hand on the roof and said, "Sister, be careful not to bump your head."
Tian Tianquan said to Song Xinya, "This child is teachable; our little brother is becoming more and more sensible."
Song Xinya: "When he was little, I bought a new rice cooker. He sat on it to poop, and I got angry and asked him what he was doing. He said he was cooking for me. Compared to then, he is indeed much more sensible now."
"Is that so?" Tian Tianquan laughed heartily.
Song Tingye was displeased: "Sister, I'm a grown man, why are you still exposing my shortcomings in public? If you keep doing this, I'll get angry."
Song Xinya: "What happens when you get angry?"
Song Tingye: "I'll go three days without eating and starve myself."
Tian Tian was even happier, laughing so hard she almost cried.
She took out the Oreo lava cheese milk tea she had bought, inserted a straw, gave one to Song Xinya, and brought the other to Song Tingye's lips: "Little brother, don't be angry, sister is treating you to milk tea."
Song Tingye: "Sister Quan Quan is still the best."
Tian Tian asked, "If your sister and I both fell into the water, would you choose to save me or your sister?"
"..." Song Tingye: "Sister, I'm still young. Don't make this age-old question difficult for me. Let those married men solve this problem."
Amidst laughter and conversation, the three arrived at the sanatorium.
Despite Song Xinya's strong dissuasion, Tian Tianquan still bought a lot of fruit and expensive nutritional supplements.
"I rarely come to see my grandma, and I don't come every day. How can I just come empty-handed with nothing but a mouth? We're all adults, and we should know how to behave properly."
The three of them arrived at Grandma's hospital room carrying large and small bags.
This is the most upscale sanatorium in Beijing, and also the most expensive.
Song Xinya spends most of her earnings here.
Money can be earned back, but family is gone forever.
No matter how important money is, it's not as important as family.
Within her means, Song Xinya gave her grandmother the best possible treatment.
The sanatorium has a great environment, nestled against the mountains and by the water, with fresh air. Each patient has their own private room, and professional doctors and nurses come to check on the patients every day.
When Song Xinya entered the ward, the nurse had just finished taking her grandmother's blood pressure.
When Grandma saw Song Xinya, her dull eyes immediately lit up, and she happily and shakily ran towards Song Xinya.
"My little one, you're finally back."
Song Xinya held her wrinkled hands and said softly, "Grandma, it's me, Youyou. I'm back."
Grandma's aged eyes glistened with tears: "When you were little, Grandma lost you. How have you been all these years? You must have suffered a lot. Just thinking about losing you makes Grandma feel guilty, hate herself, and can't forgive herself."
Youyou is Song Xinya's younger sister. Her full name is Song Tingyou, and she and Song Tingye are twins.
After Li Cuirou and Zhang Yingying married into the Song family, Song Tingyou got lost while playing with her grandmother.
My grandmother was consumed by guilt and self-blame and could not escape it, which led to her mental breakdown.
Over the years, Song Xinya has been hiring private investigators to search for Song Tingyou, but she has not been able to find her.
Song Xinya reached out and wiped away the tears from her grandmother's eyes: "Grandma, I'm back now. All these years I've met good people and I'm doing well. You don't need to blame yourself anymore."
Grandma led Song Xinya into the house, took out a box from the cabinet: "Youyou, the sanatorium gave out osmanthus cakes a few days ago. I couldn't bear to eat them, so I saved them all. Here are three pieces for you, and three more for Yaya."
Grandma peered towards the door: "Where's Ya Ya? Where's your sister Ya Ya? Didn't she come today?"
Tian Tian ran up to her grandmother, cupped her face in her hands, and made a flower shape with her hands: "Grandma, I'm Ya Ya."
Grandma looked Tian Tian up and down: "Ya Ya, you look so different."
Tian Tian blinked her eyes and asked, "Grandma, have I become even prettier?"
Grandma: "She's gotten uglier; she's not as pretty as she used to be."
The light in Tian Tian's eyes disappeared: "That hurts, Grandma."
Grandma divided the osmanthus cake equally between Song Xinya and Tian Tianquan.
Song Tingye: "Grandma, I'm a person too, why didn't you give me osmanthus cake?"
Grandma: "I treat boys and girls the same, men and women are equal. Boys don't like sweets, so I won't give you the osmanthus cake."
Song Tingye: "I like sweets."
Grandma: "No, you don't like it."
Song Tingye silently repeated to himself, "Men and women are equal, hehe."
The three of them spent the whole day with their grandmother, chatting with her, combing her hair, eating with her, and helping her go for a walk outside when the sun wasn't too hot in the afternoon.
That evening, Song Xinya decided to stay overnight at the nursing home to spend more time with her grandmother.
Tian Tianquan had family matters to attend to and was preparing to leave the sanatorium at 4 p.m.
Song Xinya went to see her off. In the corridor, Tiantian asked, "You and Qin Yuhe are already married. Your grandmother is your closest relative. Coming to the nursing home to visit your grandmother is like a homecoming for your parents. Isn't Qin Yuhe coming to keep you company?"
Song Xinya: "I didn't tell him when I came."
Tian Tianquan: "Treat each other with respect, and don't interfere with each other?"
Song Xinya responded with a faint "Mm".
Tian Tianquan: "Is this kind of marriage meaningful?"
Song Xinya: "I used to live in a dilapidated old tenement building, now I live in a 1200-square-meter villa. I used to ride an Emma mini bicycle, now I drive a Porsche and a Bentley. I used to cook and do laundry every day, now all the housework is done by maids. Do you think my marriage is meaningful?"
Tian Tian clutched her chest: "Oh my god, what you said is like turning my heart into a hornet's nest. I'm still renting a place to live with Emma Little Golden Bean."
Song Xinya: "How about I give you the Bentley you drove today?"
Tian Tianquan: "No way, I won't accept something for nothing. I have hands and feet, and I can support myself. No matter how rich others are, I will never take advantage of them."
Living a carefree and independent life without taking advantage of anyone or owing anyone anything, all alone, is what Tian Tianquan strives for in life.
Tian Tian composed herself and asked, "So you're planning to stay like this with Qin Yuhe forever? To treat each other with respect and never interfere with each other? Don't you hope he'll fall in love with you?"
