Su Yan had little luggage, so she packed up and left the hospital with Su Yu.

There were so many things to remember lately, and she had to be on her guard, otherwise she couldn't help but think of the scenes of Jiang Jingxing and Si Nan together. Every time she recalled them, she felt a dull pain in her heart.

Jiang Jingxing was her only first love across both of her lives.

He was such a good person, and even though things had come to this point, she was still angry but couldn't bring herself to hate him.

This was the most tormenting thing for her.

She would rather hate him, hate him so much that she never wants to see him again in this lifetime, but she can't do it.

Sure enough, when it comes to love, it really makes you feel happy when things are going well, but when things are bad, it's like poison, gnawing at your heart every second.

When she got home, she took a shower and didn't want to say anything. She didn't even want to eat the lunch that Li Juan had prepared. She closed the door and went to sleep.

Li Juan had no choice but to pull Su Yu into the living room for questioning.

In the living room, both Grandma Li and Grandpa Li were there, and all three of them looked like they were interrogating someone. Su Yu knew at a glance that he couldn't escape.

"Tell me honestly, is Xiao Jiang's condition not good? Otherwise, why has Ayan lost so much weight again?" Li Juan said with a serious expression.

She visited Jiang Jingxing the day after she returned to Beijing. He was still unconscious at the time, and she left after sitting for a short while.

She was busy with business afterwards. After Jiang Jingxing woke up, she called to check on him once, but she didn't know much else.

"No," Su Yu said helplessly, "Jiang Jingxing and Ayan broke up."

"What?"

"What?!"

"How is that possible!"

The three elders present gasped in shock, their expressions filled with disbelief.

Li Juan immediately said anxiously, "Explain yourself clearly. How could Ayan and Xiaojiang break up when they were having a good talk? Especially at this critical juncture."

She believed that Su Yan definitely didn't dislike Jiang Jingxing because of his bad leg; that couldn't be the reason.

The two of them had a good relationship, so there couldn't have been a problem for no reason.

"Jiang Jingxing was the one who broke up with her. After he sobered up, he was heartbroken and felt that his leg would never heal. He didn't want to ruin Ayan's life, so he did a lot of things to hurt Ayan during this time. Although Ayan still misses him, she can't forgive him. As soon as she passed her master's test, she came back immediately."

Grandma Li asked in confusion, "Why is Xiao Jiang so impulsive? Didn't you just say that his condition wasn't bad?"

Su Yu sighed, "The plan formulated by Elder Jue has been implemented for a long time. Until today, on the day of Ayan's assessment, she suddenly felt that the broken tendons in Jiang Jingxing's legs had been connected. In other words, Elder Jue's plan has been effective."

But what's done is done, and Ayan has indeed suffered a great deal. You have no idea how much she's endured these past few days. That Jiang Jingxing is no good either!

Upon hearing this, Granny Li didn't rush to say anything.

Ayan isn't impulsive, so for her to be so depressed proves that she's utterly disappointed in Jiang Jingxing.

"Well, since the children are destined to be apart, it's better to part amicably."

Li Juan couldn't understand it at all, so she got up and started to walk out.

Su Yu quickly grabbed her, "Mom, where are you going?"

"I'll go check on Ayan."

"Don't go to her about this anymore, and don't mention it again. Let it go. She hasn't been resting well lately, and she'll be fine in time. Let's just pretend nothing happened and do whatever we want."

Li Juan was about to say something when Grandma Li interrupted her, "Just do as Xiaoyu says. The child is grown up and will figure things out on his own. You, as his mother, don't need to worry so much. Don't you know Ayan's temperament?"

Upon hearing this, Li Juan had no choice but to back down.

Su Yan slept until after nine o'clock the next morning.

No one disturbed her; this was the best sleep she had had in a long time.

She came out of the room wrapped in a cotton-padded coat and saw her grandmother peeling peanuts in the yard, with Hu Zi squatting next to her eating them, and her grandfather watching TV in the living room.

"Good morning, Grandma." She walked over, reached out and ruffled Tiger's hair, and smiled, "Do you want me to hold you?"

Tiger shook his head quickly, emphasizing each word as he said, "No, Sister, you're thin!"

Tiger's vocal cords have recovered considerably after a period of treatment. He no longer needs medication or acupuncture. We just coax him to talk more every day, and he'll gradually return to normal.

Grandma Li then heard the voice, looked up, and said to her, "You're awake? Grandma cooked some egg noodles. Yours is keeping warm in the pot. Go brush your teeth and eat."

Su Yan paused for a moment, then nodded. "Okay."

Ten minutes later, she came out of the kitchen with a bowl of noodles, asking as she ate, "Grandma, where's my mom?"

Su Yu didn't need to ask her to guess that he was busy back at the military base. Apart from here, he didn't have time to go anywhere else on weekdays.

“Your mother went to visit the neighbors. She said she would go with you to see the shop near the school when you wake up. Business hasn’t been good since she came back from Guangzhou. She doesn’t know what’s wrong and wants you to go and see what’s going on.”

Su Yan responded.

Sure enough, Li Juan returned from next door when she was halfway through her noodles.

Upon seeing her, Li Juan was overjoyed. "Oh my, you're finally awake! I was thinking of waking you up since you weren't awake when I got back."

Su Yan's lips twitched, and she said helplessly, "Mom, can't you let me sleep in a little longer?"

"Make way, make way. After you come back from helping your mother with the shop, you can sleep as long as you want."

"Aren't there two stores near the school? Which one had the problem?"

“It’s the Shida branch.” Li Juan said, sounding frustrated. “I don’t know what happened, but ever since I came back from Guangzhou, the business at the Shida branch has dropped by more than half compared to before I left. There’s nothing wrong with the taste or service. Xiaoyue and I have observed it several times but haven’t found anything wrong.”

It's normal for the number of customers to decrease, but a sharp drop of more than half is a problem and cannot be ignored.

Su Yan quickly finished the noodles in her bowl and said, "I'll change my clothes and then we'll leave."

But after she changed her clothes and went out with Li Juan, a white sedan was parked at the entrance of the courtyard house.

Su Yan and Li Juan had never seen anyone around them drive this car before. Just as they were wondering what it was about to do and were about to go up and ask, the driver's side window rolled down.

Familiar faces appeared before their eyes.

"Third Senior Brother?" Su Yan asked in surprise, "When did you arrive? How come I didn't know?"

Guo Ziming called out to Li Juan first, and then answered her question, "I just turned off the engine and saw you and Aunt Juan coming out of the yard. Are you going out?"

Li Juan said, "Ayan and I are planning to go to the shops at the Normal University to take a look."

"I originally came to visit my junior sister, but I happen to have nothing to do today, so I'll go with you. It'll be more convenient if we have a car," Guo Ziming said seriously.

Su Yan and Li Juan didn't think much of it and immediately opened the door and got into the car.

Guo Ziming glanced at Su Yan out of the corner of his eye, then lowered his eyes to conceal the turbulent emotions surging within them.
