Chapter 188 Confess the secret
After thinking for a moment, Song Yanchuan asked anxiously.
“It’s just what Dad thought.” Song Shiqing didn’t keep him in suspense and said directly, “There were a few minor calculation errors, which I corrected. Grandpa Zhou wanted to invite me to dinner, but I declined.”
"Qing'er..." Qin Yingxue didn't quite understand the meaning behind Song Yanchuan and Song Shiqing's conversation, but she still spoke up with a serious expression, "Mom knows you are a smart and independent child, and you know what you are doing. But before you do anything, you must protect yourself first. Also, if it's something you don't like or even reject, you can refuse it without thinking too much. Don't worry, your parents will take care of everything for you."
Song Yanchuan and Song Shiqing were clearly surprised by Qin Yingxue's words, and both father and son looked at her.
“You and your two older brothers are all your parents’ precious children. We hope that you can take charge of your own lives and live happily ever after. Learning various skills is to give you more confidence so that you can live the life you want. Now that your wisdom has been discovered by Mr. Zhou, Mom will still say the same thing: if you don’t like something, Mom will help you refuse it and will absolutely not allow anyone to affect your mood.”
Qin Yingxue took Song Shiqing's hand and said with a serious expression.
Song Yanchuan finally came to his senses and chimed in, "Yes, Mom is right. Although Dad's promotions have been slow over the past seven years and he doesn't yet have the full strength to protect you, I will absolutely do my best to prevent anyone from bullying you or doing things against your will that you don't want to do."
In fact, both Song Yanchuan and Qin Yingxue could see it.
Old Zhou's invitation carried a sense of pressing him further.
Judging from his current demeanor, he will keep begging as long as Song Shiqing doesn't agree.
But they could all tell that Song Shiqing agreed very reluctantly.
Her youngest son was very fond of quiet; his favorite thing to do was to sit in a corner in the sun and read a book.
I'm definitely not the kind of person who likes to show off my intelligence and get myself into trouble.
"Thank you, Mom and Dad." A dimpled smile bloomed on Song Shiqing's handsome face.
Only those close to her know that Song Shiqing, with her dimples showing, is truly happy.
"Silly boy, you are my and Dad's son, why are you thanking us?" Qin Yingxue couldn't help but hug him, her face full of heartache.
“Mom and Dad, I’m all grown up now, I’ll handle this. Grandpa Zhou isn’t a bad person, I promised to help him, and it’s not that I’m forcing myself. It’s just…”
At this point, Song Shiqing organized her thoughts, "I also made a deal with Grandpa Zhou. He promised to let me attend the gifted youth program, so I won't have to slow down my school's pace to accommodate my older brothers' progress. Mom and Dad, I want to learn more and enrich myself. Only with strength can I protect you and my two older brothers."
Song Shiqing looked at the two of them with a serious expression and said.
"Qing'er..." Qin Yingxue felt like bursting into tears.
Seeing her youngest son standing so straight, his face radiant with an unprecedented glow, she felt an overwhelming pang of heartache: "Silly child, I know your personality; you're definitely not a showy person. Why did you suddenly want to go to the gifted children's program? That means you won't have your freedom anymore..."
"Mom, don't worry, people will find out sooner or later. Now that Grandpa Zhou is backing us up, there aren't many people in the whole of Yanjing who dare to touch us." Song Shiqing reached out her small hand and gently wiped away Qin Yingxue's tears. "After I leave, my eldest and second brothers can live normal lives."
"Qing'er..." Qin Yingxue's mind was in complete chaos.
Everything was fine until today, how did things suddenly become different?
Was it her caution that made Qing'er develop a villainous heart, or was it that no matter how well she protected her, there were still flaws that were exploited?
Qin Yingxue felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, and a wave of dizziness washed over her. She quickly bit her tongue and said to Song Yanchuan, "Yanchuan, go out and check on Yan'er and Yao'er. I want to have a good talk with Qing'er."
Faced with this situation, Song Yanchuan felt quite helpless.
If it weren't for Song Shiqing's own ideas, he would have been lying low in Yanjing for seven years and had a certain network of connections.
Even if it means going all out, we can still find a way to save Qing'er.
Although the little boy was quiet and didn't talk much, he was the most principled of the three brothers.
He could only place his hopes on Qin Yingxue and see if she could persuade him.
Song Yanchuan nodded, and considerately closed the study door as he left.
"Qing'er, tell your mother honestly, how did Old Zhou find out about you?" Qin Yingxue put her hand on Song Shiqing's shoulder and asked earnestly.
From a young age, she instilled in her three children the importance of concealing their talents. She did not believe that her son was vain or sought attention from others.
"This morning I was working out a protein synthesis equation under the sycamore tree. I was so engrossed that I forgot about my surroundings... Grandpa Zhou happened to see me, and after school, he and some people were waiting at the school gate..."
Song Shiqing briefly explained the process.
"So, if you had a choice, you wouldn't want anyone to disrupt your peaceful life, right? Song Shiqing, I'm your mother, and I need you to tell me the truth." Qin Yingxue asked seriously, her face stern, making Song Shiqing look her in the eye.
Under Qin Yingxue's gaze, Song Shiqing had nowhere to hide, biting her lip tightly without nodding or shaking her head.
His reaction, given that it was his own flesh and blood, was enough for Qin Yingxue to understand.
Qin Yingxue took a deep breath; at this point, she had no way out.
"Qing'er, look carefully." Qin Yingxue whispered a reminder, then waved her slender hand, casting a transparent protective shield over the study. Then, in front of Song Shiqing, she released Xiao Wu from the space.
Seeing Xiao Wu, who looked exactly like her mother, Song Shiqing raised her eyebrows slightly, showing no surprise. Instead, she asked excitedly, "Mom, where did Xiao Wu come from? Are you going to tell me the truth?"
"Yes, the truth you've been longing for, Mom will tell you today. Will you keep it a secret for Mom?" Qin Yingxue looked at Song Shiqing's radiant little face and asked softly.
"Of course, Mom, I swear on my life, I, Song Shiqing, will never..."
Before Song Shiqing could finish speaking, Qin Yingxue covered her mouth with her hand and smiled slightly at Song Shiqing's innocent and questioning gaze: "Mom believes you."
Song Shiqing nodded, his gaze fixed on Xiao Wu with excitement and anticipation.
"Xiao Wu is a fully intelligent robot, and Zhang San is an eco-friendly robot..." Qin Yingxue released Zhang San as well and began to introduce him to Song Shiqing.
