Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Discussing a Major Issue
Song Song was a bit nervous, chewing on her straw more vigorously. She looked at the window and asked, "Where is this?"
Xiao Jinghuai’s eyes were deep, "Get out of the car, I’ll tell you once you get out."
"...Oh."
Song Song was still a bit hesitant. When they first drove in, she thought they were back at Xishan Garden, but on closer inspection, she noticed the differences.
Although both were upscale neighborhoods, Xishan Garden had more of a European architectural style, while this place was noticeably more vintage.
At this point, Xiao Jinghuai walked around the front of the car, came to Song Song’s side, and wrapped her small hand in his palm, "How much longer are you planning to drink that milk tea?"
"Ah!"
Realizing it, Song Song immediately tossed the empty cup into the nearby trash can, still wondering in her heart, where exactly is this?
Soon, two people walked out of a building. Song Song looked carefully and saw that the other was smiling like the scorching sun in the middle of summer, very dazzling.
Who are these two?
Xiao Jinghuai led Song Song over, then called out, "Sister, brother-in-law."
Sister, brother-in-law?!!!!!!!!!!
Song Song was instantly a bit stunned. Could these two be Shang Tao’s parents?
"Oh! This must be Song Song, so pretty. You’ve been good friends with our Taozi for so long, and she never invited you over to our home to play, we’re really sorry..."
Song Song laughed awkwardly, "No, no problem, thank you sis... thank you auntie for having me over today."
What on earth should she call them? Following Xiao Jinghuai’s cue, she should say sister, but considering Shang Tao, she should say auntie...
Xiao Yu smiled gracefully, "This child is truly polite, unlike my own. No wonder Jing Huai likes her."
"Exactly. A girl should be more refined and sensible."
Xiao Yu’s husband, also Shang Tao’s father, Shang Weikang chimed in...
Actually, in her heart, Song Song was a bit blaming someone. Since they were visiting relatives, they should have bought something on their way. Now coming empty-handed, she felt inexplicably embarrassed.
After going upstairs, as soon as Song Song stepped into the living room, she heard footsteps coming from a room, and then someone rushed out and hugged her tightly.
"Baozi, you’re here!"
Song Song hadn’t even responded yet when Shang Tao pulled her arm and said, "Uncle, I’ll borrow Baozi for a bit, I’ll return her to you later!"
Shang Weikang smiled helplessly, "This child is always so unruly..."
Xiao Jinghuai looked at the still stunned little girl, "Okay."
After that, Song Song was taken into the room by Shang Tao.
"Taozi, what are you doing?"
Shang Tao gestured to her with a "shh" motion, "Baozi, I want to discuss something big with you."
"What’s the big deal?"
Song Song suddenly had a bad premonition.
"I’ve decided to elope with Nannan!"
"..."
Song Song’s internal alarm bells were ringing, "No way!"
"I haven’t even finished speaking and you’re saying no! Are we supposed to be besties or not?"
"I know what you’re going to say, you want me to cover for your elopement because now your parents are keeping a close watch on you, with that powerful uncle of yours backing them up, you can’t escape, so you thought of me..."
Shang Tao’s eyes suddenly lit up, "Baozi, I really underestimated you before. Once your little brain starts working, it’s really smart, you guessed it all."
Song Song insisted, "No way! Doing this is too irresponsible, absolutely not!"
Shang Tao immediately cupped Song Song’s soft little face and kissed both sides.
"Good Song Song, good Baozi, please help me! Otherwise, Nannan and I really have no chance to be together."
"Hmm? I’m begging you!"
