Chapter 2105: Chapter 2107: Helping My Son

The banquet was very lively. After cutting the birthday cake, Song Jiaying was called to the study by Old Master Ning.

"Here, keep this with you," Old Master Ning took out a red lacquer box from the drawer and handed it to Song Jiaying.

Song Jiaying was a bit stunned and didn’t take it, only stammering, "Old Master, this..."

Noticing she didn’t take it, Old Master Ning directly stuffed it into her arms. Song Jiaying instinctively held it, hesitated for a moment, then opened it to see a pair of jadeite bangles inside. By the quality alone, she knew they were very valuable.

"This is..."

"It’s Ning Ge’s birth mother’s. Bought a long time ago, she never wore them, saying they were for her future daughter-in-law. But she was unfortunate and couldn’t give it to her daughter-in-law in person." Old Master Ning looked at the red lacquer box, his aged face showing a hint of nostalgia.

Upon hearing this, Song Jiaying quickly closed the box, saying, "Given that, the old master shouldn’t be giving it to me."

As for the daughter-in-law, she certainly wasn’t one!

"Just take it! Whatever you and Ning Ge have going on, I’m old and don’t quite understand you young folks’ world. Although you haven’t registered, all these years I’ve always considered you as the daughter-in-law of the Ning Family," Old Master Ning smiled.

"Old Master..." Song Jiaying felt her ears turn hot, a bit embarrassed.

"No need to feel awkward. You can play around; it’s not my place to interfere. I’m just thinking, I’m at this age, my health’s declining year after year, who knows when I’ll go in my sleep..."

"Old Master, today is your special day; don’t say that. You’ll surely live long and healthy like a pine tree," Song Jiaying quickly interrupted him.

Old Master Ning waved his hand, saying, "Those words are just comfort, I’ve heard them many times. I’m a person who likes to be prepared for everything in advance; only then can I be at ease. Of course, I hope to live long enough to drink the daughter-in-law tea you serve and have face to meet Ning Ge’s mother, right?"

Song Jiaying smiled awkwardly.

"But you two aren’t marrying, and I don’t know if I’ll be able to wait. So I’m giving it to you now, to avoid forgetting or running out of time later," Old Master Ning said, "Jiaying, I truly see you as a daughter-in-law and a daughter. Our family’s fourth one, though he seems unreliable with his sweet talk, he is quite responsible and dependable. Though you haven’t officially entered the Ning Family yet, besides you, I don’t recognize others as daughters-in-law. If Ning Ge dares to bring another woman home, I’ll kick him out."

"Old Master..." Song Jiaying really didn’t know what to say.

"In fact, Jiaying, is there something you need to consider? Or does that boy Ning Ge have places that leave you dissatisfied? Tell me, and I’ll make him change!" Old Master Ning couldn’t resist asking.

"Well, there’s nothing really." These words were difficult for Song Jiaying to respond to.

"I don’t understand young people’s thoughts. Jiaying, in matters of love, mutual affection is necessary; after all, it’s about spending a lifetime together. If there’s anything you want, feel free to openly tell Ning Ge. A girl’s right to make demands before getting married is the greatest and most reasonable. If you don’t make your demands now, you’ll suffer!"

Song Jiaying pursed her lips into a smile, "Old Master, you’re quite humorous." No wonder Ning Ge sometimes is so eloquent; it’s inherited!

"Give our fourth a chance, to scrutinize him well. If he’s truly not to your liking, then it’s never too late to talk again, alright?" Old Master Ning patted her hand.

Song Jiaying sighed softly, nodding after a long while.

Only then did Old Master Ning nod with relief, thinking, son, this is the extent your father can help you.
