Chapter 495 - We’ve Met Before (1)
Song Huifen and Xiao Bao turned to leave the jewelry store, hand in hand. Tang Beixuan followed after them, leaving Xing Yiyue flabbergasted, while her companions repeatedly thanked Chairman Song for sparing them today.
Meanwhile, the management of Prestige Plaza was on the end of their wits as they wondered whether the empress dowager would punish them for the lack of security within the establishment. All this commotion could have been prevented if there was a security personnel posted nearby.
"Baobao, where's Little Star?" Song Huifen asked her precious grandson who was holding his present for his mother tightly.
"Little Star is with our Auntie Mei, Mommy Fen. Mommy and daddy are expecting a guest today so they weren't able to come with us." The little boy explained their situation.
"Ah, I see." Song Huifen nodded before turning to her personal secretary.
"Cancel all my appointments for the rest of the day. I want to accompany my grandchildren today."
"Yes, Chairman Song. Right away!" Her secretary excused herself and made some phone calls. This wasn't the first time this had happened anyway. She knew that her boss can be impulsive with her decisions, especially when it comes to her grandchildren.
When they arrived at the agreed meeting place, Little Star's face beamed as soon as she saw her Mommy Fen together with her twin brother.
"Mommy Fen!" She ran towards the old woman eagerly. "We miss you!"
Song Huifen bent forward and picked up the little girl from the ground and placed a kiss on both of her chubby cheeks. Meanwhile, Tang Beixuan went to his girlfriend and narrated what happened between his nephew and Xing Yiyue earlier to her.
Li Meili snickered at the white lotus's misfortune. Of all the people that Xing Yiyue dared to bully, why was it their elder little bun? However, she was surprised to know that Prestige Plaza was owned by Qing Tian Group. Just how many properties in Shenzhen did the Song family own?
"Aiya, I miss my Little Star so much. I'm sorry I couldn't come to you sooner." Song Huifen apologized to her granddaughter. She hadn't seen her grandchildren for months and had missed them terribly.
"What are you doing here, Mommy Fen?" Little Star questioned her. "Do you also come here to find a present for our mommy? Her birthday is coming soon, so Yu Gege and I came here to buy one!"
"Ah, is that so? I actually forgot about it. Thank you for reminding me, little one! What did you get for your mommy anyway? May I see it?"
"Oh no. I already asked for it to be wrapped. Auntie Meili will hide our presents for the meantime, but it is a really pretty music box!" Little Star bragged to her grandmother. "A handsome uncle helped me to get it!"
"Did you thank him for his help? Our Little Star is so cute, no one can resist your charm." She gently ticked the girl under her chin, earning her a loud squeal from Little Star.
"No, Mommy Fen! Stop! I'm ticklish there!"
Xiao Bao held his Auntie Mei's hand and looked at his twin sister. He was worried earlier that Little Star wouldn't be able to find a present on her own, but it seemed like his concern wasn't necessary.
"Auntie Mei, can we go home now? I'm a little hungry."
Although they had lunch with Li Meili and Tang Beixuan earlier, Xiao Bao didn't want to waste any more time here. If they go home now, they would be able to join their Mommy and Daddy and meet their guest back at home.
"Sure, darling." Li Meili agreed with him. Since they'd been walking around for hours, she was starting to feel the soreness on her feet. She couldn't wait to sit down and relax at the comfort of her home.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go now. I'm taking you two home." Song Huifen smiled and then gestured to Li Meili and Tang Beixuan to follow her.
Xiao Bao and Little Star decided to sit with their grandmother in her car, while Tang Beixuan and Li Meili took the car they brought with them. They hadn't expected that the little buns had their impressive paternal grandmother easily wrapped around their fingers.
This was the first time they met Song Huifen in person and they both couldn't ignore the regal and authoritative aura she exuded. Li Meili could only smile as she watched the twins interact with Song Huifen.
This was something they would never experience with Zhang Wuying, and Li Meili knew that her best friend wouldn't allow that witch to get any closer to her little buns.
When they arrived at Tang Moyu's house in Peach Blossom Garden, they saw the newly weded couple entertaining their special guest. Tang Moyu and Feng Tianyi were seated in the living area of the main house, across Yang Huan, who had just arrived to visit them.
Tang Beixuan had a short talk with his sister before he and Li Meili bid goodbye. They had other plans for today and wouldn't be able to stay any longer.
"Yang Huan? I didn't know that you would be here." Song Huifen said as she placed Little Star down on the ground, who then immediately ran towards her mother once she saw Tang Moyu.
"I could say the same thing to you, Song Huifen. It's surprising to see that you are in Shenzhen." Yang Huan laughed.
After all, Qing Tian Group's headquarters was in Shanghai, not here in Shenzhen, where they only have a branch office. He could only guess that Song Huifen remained here to keep tabs on her son's welfare.
Little Star crawled on her mother's l.a.p and wrapped her small arms around her. Tang Moyu brushed her daughter's fringe away from her cute face and placed a kiss on Little Star's forehead.
"Did you have a good time outside with your brother?" She asked Little Star with a smile.
