The Blessed Beauty Returns with a Dimension

Chapter 367: To Save Face or to Pursue a Future



Song Qinghe returned home and removed his tie.

He collapsed wearily into the sofa.

Mrs. Song could tell, even though he looked tired, his mood was quite good.

"Old Song, how is it? How's Dad doing now?"

Although she felt completely unsatisfied with the old man's favoritism, holding onto resentment.

But she understood the importance of the old man.

Without the old man, the Song family's influence would be reduced by at least half.

They still relied on the Song family's name; without the old man, what would they be?

They'd have to obediently make way for others.

Even the Wu family wouldn't miss an opportunity to kick them when they're down.

"Dad's much better now; he scared me out of my wits today, Dad almost didn't make it."

Song Qinghe talked about today's incident with cold sweat still dripping down his back.

If the old man had really been poisoned, their family would have been completely unprepared. Even if he tried something, it would have taken time.

No one could have expected someone wouldn't even give them a day to prepare.

They wanted the Song family to be completely finished this time, not even leaving them time to prepare a backup plan.

"So how is the old man now?"

Mrs. Song worried about her title, she was about to vie for the deputy director position, and now if the old man was gone.

She'd hardly stand a chance.

"I never understood before, but now I finally get why the old lady values Moting's wife so much. This girl has some kind of heirloom remedy, I'm not sure what exactly it is, but today they fed the old man from a jar of that heirloom remedy.

After the old man drank it, he was immediately detoxified, and he completely recovered. I mean, why would the old lady casually choose an ordinary intellectual woman for Moting?

Turns out there's a reason! The old lady and the old man's lips sure are tight, this daughter-in-law is quite the capable person."

Song Qinghe thought Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't seem so hard to look at, at least Jiang Xiaoxiao's heirloom remedy was enviable.

The Song family was considered a medical lineage, and if such a remedy came from the Song family.

Their position would be even more secure, no wonder the old lady treats Song Moting and Jiang Jiang Xiao so well.

Preparing a house and other things.

If it were him, he'd also treat such a daughter-in-law well; marrying in would only assist the Song family, not hold them back at all.

Compared to Fang Xiaohui, he felt this kind of daughter-in-law was both prestigious and capable, and Jiang Xiaoxiao was indeed quite beautiful.

Mrs. Song felt a pinch in her heart; the old lady had such a good daughter-in-law choice, and it was fortunate for Song Moting, it was just the old lady's favoritism.

Her heart felt sour too, if Jiang Xiaoxiao had married her own son, then the favored one in the family should be her son, shouldn't it?

But now, things turned out such that she married off Fang Xiaohui, who only sweet-talks, and spins one around, when in fact, she has no real skills.

I heard she's studying at a medical school.

Her grades are mediocre.

In the future, at most she'll become a nurse, even if she becomes head nurse, what does it mean!

Her own son is a doctor; how much help can a head nurse be to a son? When Fang Xiaohui moves to the health bureau, climbing step by step.

Without decades, how could she reach an important position!

Even as her mother-in-law supports her, Fang Xiaohui would still need at least 20 years to climb to an important position.

To assist her son's career.

Unlike the old lady who found Jiang Xiaoxiao for Song Moting!

The girl brought out the heirloom remedy right away, plus she's graduating from medical university, after interning she'll surely become a doctor.

The couple are doctors, and with the path laid by the old lady, the older generation backing them up.

Compared to my son, it's a world of difference.

The couple wouldn't need to work hard to stand in a high position, unlike my son, who has to rely solely on his own capability.

Thinking of this made her heart feel unbearable, like she'd eaten a hundred lemons.

Song Qinghe had no idea what his wife was thinking.

"Hey, I talked openly with Dad today and apologized afterward. You have to present yourself well in front of mom and dad, to pull back the bad impressions from all these years."

Song Qinghe felt he accomplished something big today.

Mrs. Song felt frustrated; she had married into this family, and after all these years, even now at old age, she still had to humble herself in front of her in-laws, to flatter and curry favor.

"Old Song, you know how little my in-laws think of me; it's not like you don't know. It's a miracle if I get any good face when I go."

Song Qinghe's face turned cold.

"Fengzhi, we've been married for so many years, I won't beat around the bush with these words; I'm afraid you won't take them to heart. I know what you're thinking. But you also need to consider the children. Our son and daughter aren't winning favor from the old lady or the old man.

They only appear around the old couple during the New Year. Do you want them to lead a mundane life like this? Do you think I have no pride? I have my dignity too, but I'm doing the same, humbling myself in front of Dad for the kids' sake.

You know Mom and Dad's personalities; they respond better to softness than hardness, the harder you push, the more they'll back you into a wall. At this age, why keep holding on to pride?

This incident with the old man was so terrifying, what if the old man doesn't make it, think about it. Forget about our son and daughter, even for us, there won't be any good outcome. The older brothers and younger siblings are already secure in their positions.

Even if something happens to the old man, the older and younger brothers wouldn't be affected at all. At most, they wouldn't move from their current positions. Even if they moved, it would take decades. But what about you and me, what's our situation now?

You're just a director; I'm a deputy director. But how long can this deputy director position last? You don't have a clear idea. If you don't get the deputy director spot this time, I can't advance further as the deputy director.

Our lives would stay as they are, and we couldn't support our son and daughter. We have to think of the children, gaining favor with the old man! The old lady's words could change our son's workplace.

You know what having a good mentor means for the future. Look at the banquet where Mr. Feng and Mr. Han, they're probably keeping Jiang Xiaoxiao and Song Moting in mind now.

Without the old lady's intervention, they're already actively seeking them, why?

It's because they know this is the old lady's most cherished child. So many people covet the old lady's neurosurgery technique, even if Song Moting and Jiang Xiaoxiao haven't learned the old lady's true essence yet.

But everyone believes they'll be the old lady's successors. Think about it, they haven't graduated yet and they're already being watched by various hospital directors. Think carefully. Do you want pride, or do you want the children's future?"

The room was silent.

After a while, Mrs. Song spoke, "Old Song! I understand, don't worry, I know what to do!"

It's all about humbling oneself, after these years already accustomed to it, what's more to add later on, as long as the son and daughter do well, what does sacrificing pride matter?

Compared to the future of the children, pride is insignificant.
