Upon learning that the Wu Family was already aware of his relationship with Xiao Ting, Lin Dongzhe felt a surge of anxiety. He couldn't afford to delay for even a moment, so he hurriedly sought out Song Ying and Lin Wufeng, his expression frantic as he laid out the situation before them.
As soon as Song Ying heard this, her brows furrowed in concern. "What are we going to do? We need to act quickly. I must head to Suzhou immediately and have a proper discussion to smooth things over."
Without wasting any time, Song Ying rushed to the Gold Shop, carefully selecting two exquisite gold necklaces—one grand and elegant for Xiao Ting, and the other delicate and beautiful for Huang Ling. After making her purchases, she set off for Suzhou with Lin Dongzhe, who couldn't shake his worries and decided to accompany her. Lin Xiao Yu, concerned for them both, tagged along as well.
Upon arriving in Suzhou, the three made their way directly to the Wu Family's residence. The atmosphere was filled with the festive spirit of the New Year, but Song Ying and the others were too anxious to appreciate it. Once inside, Song Ying forced a calm demeanor, greeting the Wu Family with cheerful wishes for the New Year. After exchanging a few pleasantries, she presented the necklace she had prepared for Huang Ling, speaking earnestly: "Sister Huang, with the New Year upon us, this is just a small token of my appreciation. Please don't refuse it."
Seeing this, Huang Ling quickly raised her hand to decline, her face showing a mix of shyness and politeness as she repeatedly insisted, "Oh no, this is too much! I can't accept it." Nearby, Zhuang Tunan chimed in with a smile to ease the tension: "Mom, it's just a kind gesture. You should accept it."
Realizing that further insistence would be futile, Song Ying reluctantly put the necklace away but felt a lingering unease in her heart.
Next, she turned to Xiao Ting and presented the specially chosen necklace for her. As she handed it over, her hands trembled slightly with anticipation and nervousness. "Xiao Ting," she said softly, "Auntie has prepared a gift for you as well. I wish you happiness in the coming year."
Xiao Ting glanced at Lin Dongzhe and saw him smiling encouragingly at her. His eyes conveyed reassurance, which made her blush as she reached out to accept the gold necklace. "Thank you, Auntie," she murmured shyly. However, the atmosphere in the room remained awkward; Lin Xiao Yu stood quietly to one side, observing everyone’s expressions and silently taking in the tense situation.
Zhuang Tunan sat on an old rattan chair in the living room and adjusted his glasses. He looked around at everyone before settling his gaze on Lin Dongzhe with a hint of concern typical of an elder. "Lin Dongzhe," he asked casually, "what has your father Lin Wufeng been up to lately? Why didn't he come along?"
Song Ying quickly seized upon this opportunity to respond enthusiastically, her face lighting up with a smile. "Oh, Teacher Zhuang! He’s been busy with work as an engineer! Every day he’s either buried in stacks of blueprints or out on site overseeing progress—he's been so swamped that he simply couldn't make it to Suzhou."
