"Wouldn't it be better to stay at my place? You know I have several properties, you can choose any one to live in, there's really no need to live outside."

“Many neighborhoods outside are not very safe, and there are always some random loiterers. There are far more men than women in this society, so it is often not very stable. For safety’s sake, and for the sake of the children, it is actually quite suitable for them to live with me.”

The questions raised by Wei Su were all very practical.

A woman with a child will be a target for many people to bully.

Many of the darker aspects of human nature cannot be explained in just a few words.

He didn't want Jiang Tian to suffer outside, and he didn't want to be separated from her.

Clearly explaining the facts to the child was a big step forward in their relationship, so why did things suddenly regress?

Wei Su's reluctance was not visible on his face; he looked at Jiang Tian pitifully.

Unfortunately, Jiang Tian did not change her mind.

Jiang Tian looked at him earnestly as well: "Let's move out for a while. Don't worry, I will definitely pay attention to safety for the sake of the child, and I will try my best to choose an expensive house."

An'an chimed in, "That's right, we need to live on our own. We can't live with you. Thank you, Uncle Wei."

"An'an, go check on Yuanhe. He's probably waking up soon. He'll definitely feel uncomfortable if he sees no one around. Why don't you go with the bodyguard? Mommy can talk to Uncle for a bit, okay?"

Jiang Tian's tone was very gentle.

An'an immediately agreed. She glanced at Jiang Tian and then at Wei Su: "Uncle, we want to move out."

She emphasized it again before running away.

Wei Su was utterly helpless.

After An'an was taken away by the bodyguards, he looked at Jiang Tian pitifully and said, "Do you have to treat me like this? Do you have to leave me alone in this empty room?"

Jiang Tian reluctantly took his hand.

She said to him earnestly, "Actually, I'm not very capable. If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't even be able to escape the cage of the Su family. But I don't want my daughter to be like me, having to rely on someone to get out of this predicament."

“I will teach her how to utilize resources later, but for now, I want her to understand that her mother wasn't rescued by someone else. I've always instilled in her the idea that relying on yourself is worse than relying on anyone else, to help her become independent and have her own social value. I don't want my ideas to have flaws because of my actions, which could lead my child to believe that relying on others is the right path…”

A mother's love for her child is the most selfless, and Wei Su certainly understood this principle.

However, Jiang Tian's thoughtfulness left him speechless.

For Jiang Tian, ​​it was all about making the child understand the principles, but he ended up suffering serious losses.

"Actually, I think you should teach your child how to conduct herself in a dialectical way, instead of simply forcing her to be independent. Think about it, in today's society, 20-year-old men have cars and houses, while 20-year-old women are kicked out of their homes and asked to be independent. Is that right?"

“Those men all say they built their empires on their own, but they don’t care about their families’ contributions. They think being a little selfish is the only way to have a good life. So, sometimes you have to be a little more tactful.”

Wei Su's mindset is very realistic: "If you have resources, just make use of them. Making use of resources at any time is the behavior of a wise person. Making your life better is a basic human instinct."

Jiang Tian nodded: "I understand everything you're saying. Just like I used you to escape that predicament. I'm not an inflexible person. But—"

"As a child, An'an should first establish the mindset that she can only win by relying on herself, and then think about when she can leverage others, instead of believing from the beginning that she can only get good results by depending on others. If she always depends on others, she is destined to never be able to put herself first in her life. She will always be thinking about others, what good is that kind of life?"

Wei Su remained silent.

He understood Jiang Tian's logic perfectly; it all boiled down to the child's sake.

But if we deprive a child of his privileges, how can he be happy?

He's not stupid.

“I understand that you are afraid that the child will be instilled with wrong values ​​from a young age, and I understand that. But I really can’t be separated from you. I can’t sleep if I don’t hold you for a day.”

Jiang Tian's face turned red: "Don't say that. I really should move out... Now my problems with Su Hanze are being resolved little by little. The child already knows the truth. The next step for Su Hanze and me is to bring up the matter of publicly announcing our divorce."

"If we live together at this stage, what will others say? What will they say about my child? We still need to consider that. Besides, I won't dump you. You should be the one to think carefully about how our relationship should develop in the future... I promise that you will be the one to end it, unless it's an unforgivable matter of principle. Otherwise, I will definitely stand in your shoes, try my best to understand you, and won't take the initiative to break up."

She was too tolerant.

Most people would hate her for not standing up for herself, but those who like her would only feel sorry for how much she had to go through to learn to back down from the very beginning.

Jiang Tian had it so tough, Wei Su couldn't say anything.

It was all just a series of unfortunate coincidences; he ended up shooting himself in the foot, so he had no choice but to accept it.

“I will choose where you stay. I’m not lying. Many people are approaching us with malicious intent. I hope you can understand. I would never joke about your and your daughter’s health. You can tell her that you rented the house yourself, but I will arrange everything.”

Wei Su has already made a step back.

The bond between the two goes beyond this. If they were to continue to distinguish themselves from each other, it would be too distant. Wei Su wanted Jiang Tian to understand this as well.

This time, Jiang Tian didn't argue, but simply nodded seriously: "Okay, then you can go find it."

Wei Su was slightly satisfied.

He lowered his head, wanting to get closer to Jiang Tian, ​​and couldn't help but feel a little tempted again.

Unfortunately, it's not the right time.

He sighed inwardly.

The house was found quickly, and An'an accompanied Jiang Tian through the entire house-hunting process like a little adult.

"Mom, do you still have money? I still have a lot of New Year's money. Dad said he wouldn't accept it."

Even now, An'an still calls Su Hanze "Dad".

Jiang Tian did not correct her.

The debt of gratitude for raising her is real; the money Su Hanze has invested in An'an over the years is enough to make a child from an ordinary family sigh with envy.

Parents' problems are their own business. If the child has a good relationship with her adoptive father, then what's the problem?

An'an knew that Jiang Tian had been staying at home without any job opportunities, so she was very worried about the rent.

"Do you believe in your mother?" Jiang Tian asked An An.

"believe."
