Chapter 152 Year After Year

Although Zhou Mingyuan didn't answer He Xishan's call, he had been keeping an eye on her. He knew she had brought her younger brother to the company and that she had spent the weekend looking for a school for him, but he didn't care.

Even if you were once naive and ignorant, after hitting a few walls, you should know that there are some things you shouldn't get involved in, because once you do, you can't get rid of them.

He didn't want to give her any hope as to her family.

Sun Yurong knew he still couldn't let go of He Xishan, and seeing that he was secretly paying attention to He Xishan, she didn't pressure him.

No one knows better than her how deep her son's feelings for He Xishan are.

He was willing to break with his family for her sake, and even sell his mother's antiques. Even after being swindled out of more than 100 million yuan by He Xishan's parents, he never gave her a hard time. If such a relationship were to disappear in an instant, who would believe it?

If she can't let go, so be it. As long as she doesn't blindly follow He Xishan's lead and help her family like before, she'll turn a blind eye and pretend she doesn't see it.

He Xishan's younger brother dropped out of school a year ago. He was not a good student to begin with, so he couldn't find a good school and could only attend the school assigned to the district where his household registration was located.

That year, He Xiaodi traveled abroad with his parents, playing around all year. His heart became wild, and he had no desire to study. He couldn't concentrate on his studies and kept making a fuss about not wanting to go to school.

He Xishan threatened him that if he didn't go to school, she would abandon him and kick him out. He thought about how his parents had been arrested and if his sister didn't care about him either, he would have nowhere to go, so he stopped making a fuss and went to school.

After sending her younger brother to school, He Xishan breathed a sigh of relief and had time to secretly inquire about her parents after get off work, but to no avail. The police station even refused to let her see her parents.

She bought some things and went to see her daughter, and Sun Yurong did not stop her from seeing the child.

When He Xishan arrived, she looked at her mother-in-law and wanted to question her: Why did you jump off the building with Huihui? Why did you force Mingyuan to call the police?

Sun Yurong didn't want to pay any attention to her. This daughter-in-law didn't understand that with her parents in prison, not only was Mingyuan free, but she was also free.

If her parents were still living elsewhere, and her father went gambling every day, Mingyuan wouldn't be able to stand it and would divorce her, but in the end, she would be the one who suffers.

But would she tell her all this? Tell her all this so she can forgive Mingyuan and the couple can reconcile? She'd have to be crazy to do that. Right now, she'd love for them to get a divorce so her son can get rid of this family.

She said irritably, "If you want to look after the child, then look after the child and leave. I don't have any food for you here."

He Xishan felt a lump in her throat and wanted to tell her that she was the one who gave birth to the child, and since she wasn't welcome, she could take the child away.

But looking into her daughter's clear, innocent eyes, she stopped talking.

She simply doesn't have the ability to raise her child. She has to go to work to earn money and support her younger brother. She has neither the time nor the extra money to raise her daughter. It's best for her to have her daughter stay with her grandmother.

Only now did she realize that she couldn't accomplish anything without Zhou Mingyuan.

She couldn't even control her younger brother. Although she sent him to school, his teacher would call her every few days, saying that he was causing trouble at school. She was at her wits' end and had no way to deal with him. She could only take it one day at a time and pray that he would grow up and become independent soon.

Thinking of all this, and facing her mother-in-law's sarcastic gaze, He Xishan put down her things, hugged her daughter, and left.

Time flies, and another Spring Festival is here.

Lin Yi'an's pharmaceutical factory was already built. After obtaining all the necessary permits and choosing an auspicious date, he began recruiting employees. By the time of the Lunar New Year, the factory had already been in operation for two months.

As in previous years, the couple spent the Lunar New Year in Beijing first, and then went to Changping on the second day of the Lunar New Year to visit their parents and grandmother.

This year, a few more people joined us; Lin Weiqi and Wang Yuehua accompanied the old man and woman.

Since the Lin siblings had nothing better to do, they went to Changping with their sister and brother-in-law.

Lin Yi'an had given prior notice, and Liu Zhengying and Lin Shuhe had already made the beds and were waiting for them to arrive.

A group of people drove a long line of cars and arrived at their doorstep.

Lin Shuhe and Liu Zhengying were all smiles as they slaughtered pigs, sheep, chickens, and ducks, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Assistant Chen didn't go home for the Chinese New Year this year. Zhou Mingshi gave him a holiday, but he didn't want to go back.

I asked her and found out that she was pressured to get married when she went back last year, and she's refusing to go back this year no matter what.

Zhou Mingshi once said, "You can get married at thirty."

Assistant Chen touched his nose: "I'm not against marriage, it's just that I haven't met the right person."

Seeing the boss and his wife being all lovey-dovey all day long can make you yearn for marriage to some extent.

Lin Su agreed with this statement: "If you don't meet the right person, it's better not to get married at all."

To this day, only An'an from the Lin family is married; the others haven't even found partners yet.

Ms. Wang Yuehua has gone from constantly urging them to get married to being numb to the situation and no longer bothering with them.

Lin Jingyun coughed lightly beside her: "Actually, actually I..."

Lin Manqing stared at her: "What's wrong with you? You didn't get back together with that right guy again, did you?"

Lin Jingyun stared wide-eyed: "How is that possible? He's already married."

Lin Manqing clicked her tongue: "Quickly."

Lin Jingyun smiled, her eyes filled with relief: "He's his neighbor, the two families are well-matched, he has a good job and a good education, so he doesn't need to rack his brains to please the other party's family, nor does he need to prepare too much betrothal gifts, so getting married will be easy."

"I'm too good for him, it puts pressure on him."

Lin Manqing: "That's right, it's not so easy to marry a daughter of the Lin family."

At this point, he gave her a reproachful look: "Then why were you coughing just now?"

The others also looked at her.

Lin Jingyun chuckled shyly twice: "I have a boyfriend."

Lin Yi'an was the first to react: "Who is it?"

Lin Hang frowned: "Don't let it be someone like Su You again."

Lin Su asked, "When did this happen?"

Lin Manqing said, "It's just dating, why are you all so excited? If it doesn't work out, you can find someone else, it's not a big deal."

Lin Jingyun: "You all know him too, it's Xu Jingnian."

The Xu family and the Lin family have business dealings, and the eldest uncle and Xu Jingnian's father are good friends.

Lin Su: "He's no good, he's too much older than you."

Lin Manqing: "It's really not good enough, he's even older than me."

Lin Hang snorted, "He's pretty bold. He secretly kidnapped our sister without telling us."

Lin Jingyun whispered, "They're not that much older, maybe six or seven years old."

Hearing her second sister's defense, Lin Yi'an knew that she liked the other person very much.

Zhou Mingshi said, "Six or seven years old is fine."

Lin Su turned to look at him: "Now that I think about it, it seems too easy for you and An'an to get married."

Zhou Mingshi: "Does my brother think I'm not a good brother-in-law? Does he need to be tested?"

After asking, he told Lin Yi'an, "My older brother thinks I'm not good."

Lin Su was speechless: "I didn't say anything bad about you, you don't need to complain to An'an."

Zhou Mingshi calmly replied, "You misheard."

Lin Yi'an: "......"
