In the latter half of 1999, Jiang Village was confirmed for demolition. However, in the first half of the year, An Jianping's family did two major things: First, they sold two plots of resident...
Chapter 412 As long as she doesn't get hurt, I'll support her no matter what she does!
Bi Lizhu watched her youngest daughter go upstairs, then turned to her family and said, "You all rest now!"
Seeing that her brows were still furrowed, An Songyu and the others didn't say anything more.
However, just as An Songyu stood up to leave, Bi Lizhu also stood up: "Xiaoyu, come with me for a moment!"
An Songyu dared not delay and quickly turned around to follow Bi Lizhu to the small study on the first floor.
This is connected to the couple's room, a small space for work and relaxation.
The large balcony facing the park was decorated by the couple to be exceptionally comfortable.
After An Songyu followed Bi Lizhu inside, she immediately and obediently started brewing herbal tea for her.
At this time of day, drinking some relaxing and sleep-inducing herbal tea is a good idea.
"Xiaoyu, have you met Xiaoxiang's boyfriend?" Bi Lizhu asked with great certainty.
Now that things have come to this, An Songyu naturally has no need to hide anything.
She nodded slightly: "I saw them when I went to Hong Kong Island with Tzuyu and the others after the Lunar New Year this year."
"How is he?" Bi Lizhu immediately asked.
"In the short time we spent together... all I could tell was that he was a very polite and capable person," An Songyu said honestly.
"Our trip to Hong Kong Island was arranged by my sister."
"Judging from the arrangements, he not only has the ability, but also pays great attention to our past."
"So that's why you knew all along, but never brought it up?" Bi Lizhu frowned slightly.
Just because you think the other person is alright?
“Mom, they probably weren’t boyfriend and girlfriend back then, but his thoughtfulness and seriousness didn’t seem like he was completely indifferent.” An Songyu admitted frankly.
"Moreover, in this kind of situation, it all depends on Xiao Xiang's attitude."
"So what do you think your sister's attitude was at the time?" Bi Lizhu frowned even more.
Looking at her second daughter, she felt that her attitude towards this matter was exceptionally...rational?
An Songyu pondered for a moment. She had no intention of deceiving Bi Lizhu, so she said seriously, "Mom, Xiao Xiang's attitude is her own decision."
"I'm not going to speculate too much."
"As the older sister, I only need to think about one thing!"
Bi Lizhu looked at her daughter seriously and asked, "What is it?"
"As long as she doesn't get hurt, I'll support her in whatever she does!" This is An Songyu's biggest realization about life after being given a second chance.
Whether it's herself or her family.
She felt that as long as she didn't get hurt, or even if she did get hurt, she could still get through it.
There are many things that we can't experience.
Bi Lizhu was almost amused by her own anger!
The way the second child said it made it seem like she, as the mother, wasn't being reasonable at all.
An Jianping and his companion, who entered a step later than the other two, agreed with this statement: "Xiaoyu is right. As long as you don't get hurt, what can't you do?"
An Songlin, who had originally told his wife to go back to her room because he was worried that his sister would be scolded, couldn't help but shake his head.
Dad, this is just adding fuel to the fire!
Didn't I see that Mom's face was as black as the bottom of a pot?
"No wonder! Your sister kept this from us until now without you even giving us a heads-up. You used to think she did a pretty good job!"
Bi Lizhu's dangerous gaze made An Songyu quickly put down the teacup he had just picked up.
And he quickly racked his brains, desperately trying to explain himself:
"Mom... what I mean is that I only support what my sister does outside!"
"It's definitely wrong of her to hide this from her parents!"
"Really? You think it's wrong too?" Bi Lizhu asked back, as if she had agreed with her daughter's words.
An Songyu felt that something was wrong. She subconsciously glanced at Bi Lizhu, then turned to look at An Jianping and the other person.
But the two who had just entered had no idea what was going on.
An Jianping, however, instinctively came to her rescue the moment he met his daughter's gaze: "Since you know you were wrong, then do less of this kind of thing in the future!"
Bi Lizhu raised her eyebrows slightly, but did not object to her husband's words.
Although An Songyu found it strange that Bi Lizhu let her off so easily, she still quickly apologized, following An Jianping's advice.
Then Bi Lizhu really didn't say anything.
Until the next morning...
An Songyu looked at her father speechlessly: "Did Mom really say that?"
An Jianping nodded affirmatively: "She said that you had met that person after all."
"This time, they came specifically to congratulate us on our opening. Although it wasn't a formal visit, we couldn't just leave without giving them a proper welcome!"
"So-called 'showing respect' means I have to greet the guest and carefully observe how this person treats Xiao Xiang?" An Songyu looked at An Jianping speechlessly.
"You even need me to find a way so you can check on the person while you're at it?"
"Wow, isn't this a bit too difficult?"
"After all, Ah Xiang said that David would introduce her to his family and friends in Hong Kong."
"How can I arrange for you to see him, in an occasion where they haven't even had the chance to see you?"
"This matter... I'll have to trouble Xiaoyu!" An Jianping patted An Songyu's shoulder as if entrusting her with a heavy responsibility, then turned and left without giving her a chance to continue speaking.
An Songyu was even more speechless. She turned her head and saw An Songlin and his wife leaving the house.
Just as he finished greeting them, An Songlin added, "Xiaoyu, when you're making the arrangements, don't forget your brother and sister-in-law!"
Seeing An Songyu's wide, incredulous eyes, An Songlin raised an eyebrow slightly before letting out a feigned sigh of regret:
"Xiaoyu, I know that I, as your older brother, haven't grown up enough to be someone you and Xiaoxiang can rely on without worry."
"So I can understand if you two sisters keep something from me alone!"
"But, Xiaoyu, if Xiaoxiang's boyfriend has even met her parents... your sister-in-law and I have only heard about it!"
"Then my brother will really be heartbroken!"
An Songyu's disbelief deepened.
She subconsciously looked at her sister-in-law.
What happened?
My brother has only been married for a short time, yet he has already mastered the art of subtlety that girls excel at.
"Xiaoyu, I'm also grateful for your help with arranging things for my sister-in-law!" Xuan Ying clenched her little fist, gave An Songyu a thumbs-up, and then quickly pulled her husband downstairs.
An Songlin only stopped feigning discomfort after the two left the room.
He quickly asked, "Aying, did I do well in front of Xiaoyu just now?"
Xuan Ying, recalling An Songyu's reaction, immediately nodded:
"It's really good, I think even Xiaoyu was stunned!"
"I bet if she can make the arrangements, it'll be hard for us to forget about it!"
"That's good, that's good!" An Songlin immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pulled his wife up in the elevator.
