After abandoning his wife and children, Bo Xilai coaxed and begged her to reconcile.

Both elders showed expressions of disapproval.

"Si Nian, that's not right. I'm asking you, what's your relationship with Xiao Ye?"

Bo Sinian was speechless when asked the question.

While arguing with him, Ji Kaicheng continued to search for photos in his phone's album.

Alas, what a miscalculation!

I didn't even put on my reading glasses today. Which of these colorful photos is his grandson?

"Old Lin, lend me your reading glasses if you run out later."

Lin Lu waved his hand, "No, no." He then handed a photo of his grandson to Song Jinye, "My son, Lin Pan, you've met him before, I even took him fishing. He's grown into a fine young man now. Look at him, isn't he handsome? 185 cm tall, 145 kg, his physique is absolutely amazing."

"You...you Lin Langtai! Are you afraid my grandson will outshine your brat? My grandson is truly outstanding, with a refined and understated elegance. Don't let his past as a chubby boy fool you; now, if you take him out, you'll hear a chorus of 'Wow!'" Ji Kaicheng's voice boomed, filled with the unique pride of an elder as he boasted about his grandson.

Song Jin couldn't help but laugh at him, "Grandpa Ji, you're quite fashionable."

As soon as he finished speaking, a clear and melodious voice came from behind him: "Grandpa Lin, Grandpa Ji, it's been a long time. You two still look so good."

"Who are you?"

Lin Lu and Ji Kaicheng looked at him for a moment, but couldn't quite remember who the young man in front of them was.

"I am Lou Jianyuan's grandson, Lou Yin." Lou Yin smiled gently, his eyes sincere.

Lin Lu's expression suddenly dawned on him. "So you're Old Lou's grandson. I remember you've been abroad for many years. You've come back this time intending to inherit the family business and stay, right?"

The two old men exchanged a glance, then looked at Bo Sinian in unison.

Rumor has it that Lou Yin broke off his engagement with the Chen family because of Song Jinye. Later, after learning that Song Jinye had married Bo Sinian, he was heartbroken and went abroad.

Now that Song Jin has recently returned to China, he has followed her back. Could it be for her sake?

"It's not certain yet," Lou Yin replied politely, then turned to Song Jinye, "Junior sister, long time no see. Congratulations on having multiple papers selected for the ICEPG International Conference on Energy, Power and Grids. You've really brought honor to our school."

"Long time no see, senior brother." Song Jin greeted him with a smile.

She and Lou Yin were indeed classmates, but when she was selected by her mentor, Lou Yin was already busy graduating, so she didn't have much interaction with him.

Later, she learned that Lou Yin was Cheng Sijin's fiancé and had even forcefully proposed breaking off the engagement with Cheng Sijin. However, Cheng Sijin had harbored resentment towards her for many years, which she found inexplicable.

Bo Sinian was in a real bind at that moment.

It's bad enough that the two old men keep bothering him, but now Lou Yin has suddenly returned to the country. Could it be that he's really here for Song Jinye?

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming back? How have you been doing abroad all these years? Many old friends are here, they'll be happy to see you. Let me take you to say hello." Bo Sinian stepped forward, subtly blocking Song Jinye's path, his smile faint.

He put his arm around the other person's shoulder, acting like an old friend catching up. It seemed like a casual conversation, but in reality, it was a show of control. He then led the person away.

He must be physically separated from Song Jin.

When Cheng Sijin saw Lou Yin, her eyes lit up instantly, and she felt a surge of joy, wishing she could rush over immediately.

But when he caught a glimpse of Song Jinye to the side, his joy vanished instantly.

Soon it was time for the banquet.

This wasn't a big birthday celebration, so we didn't invite many people; we only arranged five or six tables.

Song Jin and her two children originally intended to sit at the table with the younger generation.

As a result, several old men called out to her in unison, "Xiao Ye, where are you going? Your spot is right here, have you forgotten?"

Old Master Bo also spoke up, "Bring Xiao Yi and Xiao Jiu to sit down together. We're all family here today, no need to worry about seniority."

Everyone turned to look at Song Jinye.

Dead memories begin to attack them.

I remember many years ago, at Bo Sinian's graduation banquet, Song Jin was also seated at the head table.

They were all stunned. What right did a young girl who was not even an adult have to sit at the head table?

So one can only marvel at her luck; at such a young age, she has gained the favor of Old Master Bo, and her future is limitless.

As it turns out, Mr. Bo's foresight was indeed remarkable.

Song Jinye's academic achievements are indeed beyond the reach of countless researchers.

"Old ginger is spicier. Mr. Bo, you have a keen eye for people. Miss Song is so outstanding, if it weren't for your appreciation, others might not have been able to discover this gem."

"I've long heard of Professor Song's brilliance, and seeing him today, I can confirm it's well-deserved. Not only is he exceptionally capable and knowledgeable, but he also possesses extraordinary bearing and outstanding temperament. It's all thanks to Elder Bo for his discerning eye in recognizing such talent."

"They say your appearance reflects your heart. Professor Song has such an outstanding temperament and a calm personality; he's clearly someone who can accomplish great things. Mr. Bo, you've really struck gold."

Bo Zhengxing's expression was not pleasant after hearing these compliments.

"You guys, is it so hard to admit that a young girl is outstanding? Her intelligence is a gift from her parents, and her remarkable achievements are due to her own hard work. What does it have to do with an old man like me? If it weren't for her, our fourth son would have just been coasting through school, and he would never have gotten into a prestigious university. I'm grateful to her more than ever."

The group of people shut their mouths in embarrassment, realizing that their flattery had backfired and displeased the old man.

Song Jin didn't seem to care about any of that. She calmly met everyone's gazes and said in a gentle and sincere tone, "What everyone said is actually true. I have always been grateful to Grandpa Bo. During those difficult years, it was thanks to Grandpa Bo's care that I was able to complete my studies smoothly."

She wore a polite, gentle smile, her expression open and composed, without a trace of awkwardness.

Facing the gaze of a room full of guests, she didn't try to explain herself, but calmly accepted the favor—a testament to her good manners; knowing her own worth showed her inner strength. Gratitude is one thing, independence is another, and she understood the difference perfectly.

This is her charm, stemming from her inherent clarity and resilience, and from her powerful and rich inner self. She knows gratitude, yet she is not dependent; she understands humility, yet she is not subservient. Bo Sinian gazed at her quietly, his eyes deep and unfathomable, and he was involuntarily drawn to her, the stirring in his heart growing ever clearer.

Lou Yin, sitting not far away, also sensed her understated strength and the proud spirit beneath her gentle exterior. He maintained a warm smile, but the temperature in his eyes gradually rose, and his eyes became noticeably darker than usual.

A cold mist gradually gathered in Bo Sinian's eyes. Lou Yin had traveled halfway around the world to come back, just like before, for Song Jinye...
