Chapter 71
The grandfather and grandson were sticking together for a long time, and finally Father Xia couldn't stand it any longer, and urged: "You two are almost done, hurry into the house, this ghost weather is about to heat people to death."
"You're the only one!" The old lady glared at her son angrily, and then walked into the house with Xia Lin arm in arm.
As she walked, the old lady asked, "Xiao Lin, do you have a girlfriend?"
Xia Lin was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "No."
Zhou Shuo glanced at him silently. He was the only person in the family who knew Xia Lin's secret, but if Xia Lin didn't take the initiative to break it, he would never say another word.
"It's time to find," the old lady patted the back of Xia Lin's hand, "someone who is about to graduate."
"Grandma, I haven't graduated yet. I'm early."
The old lady was taken aback: "Isn't it a senior?"
Xia Liang explained by the side: "Xiao Lin is majoring in medicine, with a five-year undergraduate degree."
"Oh, that's right." The old lady was obviously a little confused, and then she complained again, "You kid, you have to study medicine if you are not good at learning. It's not that our Xia family can't support you, so why bother doing that? At work, I saw in the news that some doctors died of exhaustion on the operating table, and it is pitiful to think about it. If my grandson is so exhausted in the future, I will not be distressed to death.”
Xia Lin smiled and said: "Grandma, it's not certain that you can go to the operating table. But I am a clinical major, and I have learned a little about everything. If you have any minor illness or pain in the future, you don't need to go out to ask a doctor. Just show it to you."
"Really?" The old lady smiled brightly when she heard this, patted Xia Lin on the shoulder, and said with a proud face, "My little Lin is very promising, and he can still see a doctor for me, compared to your father who only makes money. stronger."
"..." Father Xia was used to being run by his mother on weekdays, and now he just rolled his eyes silently, turned around and ordered Uncle Teng and Zhou Shuo to bring in all the suitcases
Xia Lin said, "Grandma, why are you urging me in such a hurry, brother hasn't looked for it yet?"
Xia Liang hurriedly said: "Grandma said about you, what are you doing with me? I'm so busy every day, I don't have time to make a girlfriend."
The old lady gave Xia Liang a sideways look: "You, I urged you several times, but there was no movement at all. Now I'm too lazy to ask you. Go back and meet a girl with me. I'll have a look for you."
Zhou Shuo, who was carrying a suitcase and passed by them, was stagnant, and looked back at Xia Liang.
Xia Liang smiled, but instead of answering the old lady's words, she asked, "Grandma, have you had breakfast yet?"
"I have eaten. I ate a little on the plane. When I got off the plane, your father had to let me eat a little more. Now my stomach is very stretched."
Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked Father Xia, "Son, don't forget to book the box at night."
"Got it." Father Xia responded.
Xia Lin and Xia Liang looked at each other. Xia Lin asked, "Grandma, do you want a treat tonight?
"Yeah, invite your Uncle Song's family to dinner tonight."
Xia Lin stiffened and asked, "Who is Uncle Song?"
"What kind of memory do you have, kid? That boy from the Song family who played with you as a kid. What's your name?"
"Song Yan." Xia Liang answered.
"That's right, it's Song Yan's dad."
Xia Lin frowned and said, "Why do you want to invite them to dinner?"
Xia Liang keenly sensed the resistance in Xia Lin's tone, and couldn't help but glance at him.
The old lady said: "I don't really understand the specifics. Listening to your dad, recently due to policy restrictions, foreign business is not very easy to do. He wants to transition back to China, but the market cannot be opened for a while, and the capital chain is We couldn't keep up. Fortunately, the Song Group helped us get through the most difficult stage. Next, there will be closer cooperation between the Xia and Song families. Your father is coming back to China for this matter. of."
Xia Lin thought to himself that the grandmother of the previous life also returned to the country once this year, but she had never heard of any business cooperation between the Xia and Song families.
Seeing that Xia Lin's face was obviously not good-looking, the old lady thought that he was not interested in the remuneration, so she coaxed: "Don't worry, tonight's dinner is not about business, or just reminiscing. I have been old friends with Mr. Song for many years. You and that son of the Song family have been playmates since childhood, and I heard that you didn't study together in college, so it must have been a long time since we met, and it just so happened that we all got together to catch up with each other."
Xia Lin couldn't say anything else, so he nodded casually.
After all, the old lady was old. After chatting with the brothers Xia Liang and Xia Lin for a while, she went back to her room to rest.
Xia Liang called Xia Lin aside and asked him in a low voice, "What's the problem with Song Yan?"
Xia Lin was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be relaxed: "What could be wrong."
"Don't think I can't see it. Before you two wanted to hang out together every day, Song Yan almost regarded our house as his own. But from the eve of your college entrance examination, something was wrong with the two of you. You suddenly became enlightened and wanted to study hard, so you didn't interfere too much, but after the college entrance examination, the whole summer vacation or even the entire four years of college, Song Yan never showed up in our house, and you didn't mention him any more, the two of you. What is it because of this, why is there such a commotion?"
Xia Lin was silent for a moment and said, "Brother, can you leave this matter alone?"
Xia Liang took a deep look at him: "Now that you are grown up, there are some things you don't want to tell your family, I can understand, and I am not a nosy person. But you also saw tonight's dinner, in fact, grandma is I'm looking forward to it, I don't care what kind of grievances there are between you and Song Yan, you can't be absent tonight, and don't make trouble with Song Yan face to face, so as not to block the hearts of Xia and Song's parents."
Xia Lin really didn't want to go in his heart, but Xia Liang had said it all, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Got it."
