Transmigrated as the Ex-Wife of a Heroic Man - Chapter 1128
Chapter 1128: Chapter 1128: Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Brain Hole
No one knows how Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law arrived at the same thought; it just so happened that one day, after dinner as they were sitting together chatting, the conversation suddenly turned to how Big Brother got along well with Song Jinyan.
They had been inseparable since childhood, and even though they weren’t together anymore because of work, every time Big Brother returned from the border, he would visit Song Jinyan first thing.
The bond between the two brothers was even stronger than that of actual siblings. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say they were childhood sweethearts, if only one was a boy, and the other, a girl.
Wait a second…those two…could it be…?
The more Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law thought about it, the uglier their expressions became, as if flipping a switch, once the association was made, it couldn’t be stopped.
The more they thought about it, the more dangerous it seemed, the more suspicious it appeared.
Big Brother had never been in a relationship from childhood to adulthood, let alone held a girl’s hand. Other boys his age had dated countless times, some even acquiring a multitude of romantic debts due to their flirtatious nature.
Some even ended up fathering illegitimate children, becoming the butt of everyone’s jokes.
Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law had previously laughed at such people, but now, the more they thought about it, the more envious they became, wishing Big Brother would bring home an illegitimate child for them to cuddle.
Initially, Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law were suspicious of Song Jinyan, but then they remembered that Big Brother had always been domineering and bad-tempered, and he was very direct. Song Jinyan was much more polite than Big Brother, perhaps it was Big Brother who forced Song Jinyan.
Thinking this way, they felt truly sorry for the Song family.
Only Xu Junfeng knew about Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law’s suspicions at the moment, and the only reason he knew was that Mother Xu had pressed her son for information regarding Big Brother and Big Brother Song’s matter.
Xu Junfeng was sly himself; although he was fully aware that it was impossible, he deliberately misled them with ambiguous hints.
He was determined not to speak of it now.
“Then you should hurry over!” Xu Junfeng couldn’t wait to send his big brother away, to avoid being lectured.
“Hold on, I have something to tell you.”
Xu Junfeng: “…”
Big Brother was becoming increasingly difficult to deal with.
Xu Xiyi, carrying his luggage, got out of the car and walked away with his brother.
Song Jinyan instructed Songshan to drive back to the office first.
On the way, Song Jinyan asked with a puzzled look, “Songshan, have you noticed anything odd about Junfeng’s glances towards me and Xiyi?”
“I haven’t noticed. By the way, Big Brother, what standard should we follow for sending Su Wen the flower basket?”
“The highest standard.” After thinking for a moment, he changed his mind, “You should go personally! And buy me a few more bags.”
“A few? Is there a specific number you require?” Songshan felt a slight surprise.
He hadn’t expected Big Brother to personally send him, which was different from sending a flower basket; him going in person was not on his own behalf but represented Song Jinyan himself. With this implication, it was a signal to the outside world.
“Just buy out the entire store.” Song Jinyan said with a wave of his hand.
Songshan: “…” So buying out the store means a few bags, he got it now.
*****
This scene was unfolding in bookstores nearly all across the country.
Su Wen and her sister Su Qing, dressed modestly, wandered around major bookstores and newsstands, absorbing the readers’ discussions.
When they left the bookstore, Su Qing’s taut heart finally relaxed.
“This is great, the effect is really good,” Su Qing said with a smile, “Big sister, how did you come up with the idea to put our store’s promotional poster in your new book? The idea is brilliant.”
“I learned it from someone else,” Su Wen wouldn’t admit that she originally just wanted to save money.
But to her surprise, the result was even better than placing an ad in the newspaper.
“However, placing ads in the newspaper is still necessary,” Su Qing’s face became serious, “We need to keep up with our advertising efforts, but there’s no need to do it in advance. Wait until the grand opening on New Year’s Day.”
