Chapter 30: Awkward Meeting

Chapter 30: Awkward Meeting

The meeting place was a very luxurious hotel in the local area. Lin An thought they would just have a meal together, but when they arrived at the hotel entrance, they found many gentlemen in high-end suits and ladies in evening gowns. They handed the invitation to the waiter and walked into the hotel with a smile.
    "Did we come to the wrong place?" Lin An was a little surprised. It seemed like someone was holding a large event here. She looked at the location and said, "Yes, it's this hotel."
    Song Chengran was as surprised as Lin An, but he knew how to control his expression. He took Lin An's hand and walked towards the waiter.
    The arm around her was clean and strong, but with a bit of warmth and burning. He hadn't touched her for a while. At this moment, such a little physical contact made her smile in her heart. So she hugged his arm a little harder and returned it.
    Song Chengran didn't seem to notice anything unusual. He walked over to ask the waiter about the situation here. Unexpectedly, the waiter politely spoke as soon as he saw him, "Is this Mr. and Mrs. Song? Mr. Song has been waiting inside for a long time. I will show you the way."
    Lin An looked at Song Chengran curiously. Song Chengran was probably a half-public figure. Although he was not keen on social occasions, he was well-known. Even if he didn't introduce himself, others would recognize him.
    On the way, Lin An asked the waiter and learned that Song's father had returned from abroad and was interested in developing in China, so he booked the banquet hall of this hotel and invited well-known people in the business community to the banquet, probably intending to open up the future business road.
    Song Chengran frowned, seeming to be a little unhappy. What a shrewd businessman, even the meeting with him was arranged in this occasion.
    There were many people at the banquet, and Lin An also saw many business celebrities who had only seen on TV and magazines. There were many young ladies from famous families who behaved generously and talked elegantly with the men around them. The layout here seemed a bit too big for her, and she lowered her head a little awkwardly.
    How could it become a banquet? Fortunately, she dressed appropriately, otherwise she would not know where the embarrassment was.
    Ah, what should I do, so nervous.
    On the contrary, Song Chengran had long been accustomed to all kinds of scenes, and he always exuded a calm temperament. Coupled with his beautiful face, he walked in the magnificent hall like a moving light source, attracting a lot of attention.
    Lin An secretly looked at Song Chengran. Although he was always cold and superior, it did not prevent men and women from vying for him because of his appearance, knowledge, superb medical skills, etc. He has always been the focus of the crowd. Fortunately,
    Song Chengran did not care about the eyes of others. He slightly noticed Lin An's embarrassment, so he tightened his wrist to signal her not to be afraid.
    Lin An seemed to be brushed by a feather, soft and gentle. Now Song Chengran only has eyes for her, which is great.
    But soon, she felt that Song Chengran's body became a little stiff, just like the instinct of a wild animal to be alert when encountering danger. She followed Song Chengran's cold gaze. She saw a
    middle-aged man in front of her who was talking harmoniously with several business people. He was about fifty years old, with sharp eyebrows and falcon eyes, a high and slightly hooked nose, a stern and resolute chin, and a stature and momentum that were not young. The black suit made him more upright.
    It was a face similar to Song Chengran, but the two had completely different temperaments. His face was more of a business man's shrewdness, while Song Chengran was calm and cold.
    "Is he my uncle? He looks so serious." Lin An thought so.
    The waiter had already stepped forward to talk to Song's father. The next moment, Song's father's eyes turned to them. After a brief eye contact, he smiled and explained to the people around him, and then walked towards them.
    Song's father was really strong, and every step he took was decisive. There was also a beautiful lady in her early forties beside him, who was holding Song's father intimately.
    Lin An was somewhat surprised by the woman's actions. She remembered that Song's mother had passed away. Who was this person?
    Song's father walked in front of them, and his strong aura immediately oppressed him. He looked directly into Song Chengran's eyes, his eyes were complicated and sharp, "I didn't expect you to really come." The
    eye contact between the two seemed to be full of gunpowder. Song Chengran's expression was not very friendly. He pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly, and his eyes transitioned from Song's father's face to the face of the middle-aged woman next to him. With just one glance, Song Chengran began to bite his back teeth.
    Lin An felt that the situation seemed a little wrong, and hurriedly laughed to smooth things over, "Uncle, I am Chengran's wife Lin An, nice to meet you!"
    Hearing this, Song's father turned his attention to Lin An, as if he had just discovered her. He squinted his eyes and looked at her, and finally frowned, as if he was not satisfied with Lin An.
    Lin An's whole body froze. She was afraid that she had said something wrong just now?
    At this time, the woman next to Song's father smiled and said, "You are Lin An, right? I have heard from Grandma Song that you are a well-behaved and sensible child."
    Seeing Lin An's curious look, the woman said, "I forgot to introduce myself. I am Cao Ling, the wife of Song Ze, and Chengran's mother."
    She paused and added, "The second mother."
    Lin An's eyes widened in surprise. Was she Song's father's second wife? Her hand suddenly hurt, and the force came from Song Chengran's hand that was holding her.
    He seemed a little annoyed, and the blue veins on the back of his hand bulged. The memories that had been sealed for many years seemed to be pierced and flowed out in an instant. He was so angry that he didn't even know that he had hurt Lin An. He looked at Song's father coldly, "Since we have already met, there is no need for us to stay here any longer."
    "You are almost 30 years old. Do you still have the mentality of a child?" Song's father stared at Song Chengran and said loudly. His eyes did not meet Lin An's, but despite this, Lin An still felt inexplicably flustered, as if he had been stared at by a poisonous snake, and a chill seeped out from deep in his bones.
    Song Chengran remained calm, only smiled slightly, his face gloomy.
    Cao Ling was also a little surprised at Song's father's sudden anger. Some guests seemed to be looking over, so she walked over and explained to them that it was just a chat between father and son.
    ...
    Lin An's wrist hurt, but it was nothing compared to the worry in his heart. What kind of grudge did Song Chengran have with Song's father that could make the two of them treat each other coldly.
    Time seemed to be infinitely stretched. Lin An hesitated for a moment and said to Song Chengran in a gentle tone, "Chengran, you haven't seen your uncle for so long, you should have a lot to say, right?... It's okay, I'll wait for you here."
    Song Chengran's movements froze, his pupils trembled a little, and he looked at her deeply. Lin An suddenly felt that he had done something wrong again.
    Song's father, on the other hand, relaxed his expression because of Lin An's observation. He narrowed his eagle-like eyes and said, "You are really my good daughter-in-law. I will take Chengran out to talk."
    Because of the word "good daughter-in-law", Song Chengran's eyebrows jumped obviously, as if he was unhappy.
    He said to Lin An, "Wait for me here." Then, he followed Song's father to the center of the crowd.
    Lin An looked at the backs of the two people leaving, worried. She just hoped that the two of them could untie their knots as soon as possible. She didn't want Song Chengran to be unhappy.
    Her wrist hurt a lot. She looked down and was surprised to find that her wrist was already blue.
    It seems that Cheng Ran is really angry.
