Song Lingge was immediately dumbfounded.

She's only in her early twenties and hasn't even graduated from university yet, and she's already being pressured to have a baby?

Seeing her embarrassment, Qin Rong patted Tang Shuxin and scolded her, "What nonsense are you talking about? No wonder Zihan and Zichen are making such a fuss. You don't know how to speak properly."

Tang Shuxin smiled apologetically at Song Lingge, "I just spoke too quickly, Lingge won't blame me."

What could Song Lingge do after being called out? She could only smile and shake her head in agreement.

"Didn't you just say you had something to tell me? What was it?" Qiao Nansheng finally came to her rescue.

However, everyone's eyes were fixed on her, making Song Lingge feel like she was the center of attention.

Although she did decide to come in to show off, she felt a little embarrassed when she was actually there.

After hesitating for a moment, I said it directly: "Editor-in-Chief Chen just called me and asked me to participate in an interview."

"Is it because of your newly published novel?" Qin Sihai asked.

When Qin Sihai asked her, Song Lingge was a little nervous and only gave a slight "hmm".

"Oh my goodness, you're so amazing!" Hu Lixia ran over and cupped Song Lingge's face, saying, "Grandma Nansheng told me about it several times, saying it was really good. So I bought it and read it too. Actually, I'm also a fan of yours, but I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd be shy. Now that you're going to the interview, you'll become famous, and I don't know how many crazy fans you'll meet, so get used to it for now!"

Hu Lixia's words left Song Lingge both amused and exasperated, but there was a grain of truth to them.

"Then it won't be so convenient for Lingge to go out in the future. We'll have to wear hats and masks," Tang Shuxin joked with a smile.

Qin Rong feigned displeasure, crossed her arms, and complained to Qiao Yuejiang, "Such a big thing, and no one told us. Qiao Yuejiang, it seems you and I were both adopted."

Hu Lixia rolled her eyes at her: "Who told you two to stay abroad all year round? Every time we contact each other, it's always 'busy, busy, busy.' Now you're worried, aren't you?"

Qiao Guangzhi put his arm around Qin Rong's shoulder and said as a peacemaker, "My dear wife, your mother-in-law has spoken, so we have no choice but to accept it. We were indeed wrong before."

Judging from Qiao Guangzhi's attitude towards Qin Rong, it's more accurate to say they were in the throes of new love than to say they were divorced.

Song Lingge silently glared at Qiao Nansheng.

"Hiroshi's situation is understandable; he is indeed very busy with work. However, some people forget about the greater good once they have their own families, acting as if they were Sun Wukong who sprang from a rock and are never home."

No matter the circumstances, a mother-in-law will always be exceptionally protective of her son-in-law.

Qin Rong pouted, and said self-deprecatingly with dissatisfaction, "Who was it that kept telling you on the phone that you didn't need to come back and to take good care of Guangzhi? That we'd take care of things at home, and you could rest assured? Now that you're finally back, it's all my fault? Lingge, do you think I have no one to reason with?"

Song Lingge was taken aback when she was suddenly called out, never expecting that this family matter would involve her.

Just as she was hesitating about how to say something without offending anyone, Tang Shuxin pulled her to her side, "Hey, you guys should handle your own problems. Don't drag us into this mess. We're very well-behaved kids in front of our mother, unlike some monkeys who never come home."

Tang Shuxin had just teased Song Lingge, but now she conveniently came to her rescue.

It seems that this is the Qin family's culture: alliances and enemies can change at any time.

Although the two families lived in the same neighborhood, Song Lingge didn't visit the Qin family often because of the students' innate awe of their professors.

I never imagined that Qin Sihai, who looks so refined and serious, would have such a family atmosphere.

"Fine, fine, it seems I've fallen out of favor. My father doesn't love me, my mother doesn't care, my son isn't close to me, and now even my sister-in-law and daughter-in-law have teamed up against me. Heavens above, earth below, who can stand up for me?" Qin Rong acted like a drama queen.

"Oh darling, I'll always be by your side."

Song Lingge was truly astonished; she never expected Qiao Guangzhi to cooperate so readily with Qin Rong.

Qiao Nansheng leaned closer to her and whispered, "My mom's dream is to be an actress."

Qin Rong's sharp eyes swept over them, and she pointed at Qiao Nansheng, saying, "My son, even if you speak very softly, your dear mother still heard you!"

Qiao Nansheng shrugged, indicating that he didn't care.

Qin Rong then feigned a heart-wrenching expression and sobbed, "I carried him for ten months and finally gave birth to this son. He was so sweet when he was little, and now...!"

Qin Rong covered her mouth, leaned close to Song Lingge, pushed Qiao Nansheng aside, and whispered in a voice that everyone could hear, "Lingge, how about I introduce you to a new boyfriend? This brat is inconsiderate to me today, he won't be inconsiderate to you tomorrow."

what?

what?

what?

Song Lingge felt extremely uncomfortable; it turned out that the Qin family's difficulty in answering questions was hereditary.

Qin Zichen and Qin Zihan are nothing compared to Qin Rong, the real trouble is Qin Rong.

Qin Rong was about to come up with new lyrics when Hu Lixia slapped her thigh: "I've seen people who ruin their parents' lives, but I've never seen anyone who ruins their own son. You brat, you've had the same problem all these years. Only Guangzhi can put up with you."

Qin Sihai raised an eyebrow and said helplessly, "Luckily, Nansheng isn't like her, or our family would be in chaos."

"Dad!" Qin Rong protested, "How can you criticize me too? You never participate in our conflicts! And you're saying this in front of my daughter-in-law? Don't I have any dignity?"

“That’s not our fault, it’s your own fault for being so dramatic,” Hu Lixia quickly retorted.

Qin Rong leaned her head on Song Lingge's shoulder and said, feigning grievance, "I see Lingge is happy! Can't you let me have a go at acting?"

Tang Shuxin, clinging to Hu Lixia for support, complained, "These past two days since you came back, we've been putting on an act for you every single moment. We were just doing it again, and Lingge is laughing at us."

Song Lingge was feeling bitter; could you please stop mentioning my name?

Qiao Guangzhi said with a smile, "It's a great thing that Lingge accepted the interview. Rongrong and I are treating everyone to a big meal as a way of thanking everyone for acting with us just now."

"Thank you? I think it should be an apology!" Qin Sihai joked along.

"Hahaha......"

It has to be said that although the Qin family was quite noisy, this feeling was a long-lost joy, except for Song Lingge.

It will probably take her some time to adjust to this family atmosphere.

Qiao Guangzhi and Qin Rong decided to treat everyone to dinner at "Song Shi Ji".

They didn't know that Song Lingge was writing novels, but Tang Shuxin had already told them about her business acumen, so they took this opportunity to go and see for themselves.

So, they invited Zhao Zhangguo and Lin Xiuzhi, and the two families went to "Song Shi Ji" in a grand procession.
