However, not only was he not by Jiang Xue's side during her most difficult time, but the key issue was that this difficulty came from him.
"Were those days tough? I'm going back tomorrow, can I come see you?" Sun Ze'an asked very cautiously.
His mother had ruined what was already a glimmer of hope, and he didn't want to lose it all.
"Forget it, I'm already married and I'm not getting a divorce. It's fine as it is. Teacher Sun, you should move on too. Also, the weather in the south is humid..." Jiang Xue wanted to say a few more words of comfort.
I think I'll just let it go. Some things, once over, will only lead to unforeseen consequences.
“The South is humid…” Sun Ze’an seemed to be grasping at that straw, waiting for Jiang Xue’s reply.
"It's nothing. I've never been to the South either, but I know that people who go into business eventually achieve financial freedom and will have everything they need," Jiang Xue comforted her with a smile.
There was another moment of silence on the other end of the line, a silence that penetrated to the very marrow of Sun Ze'an's bones.
"But without you, I brought you to the South, and we set up a factory here, but you won't be able to see my parents. How about we each live our own lives from now on?"
This was the last solution Sun Ze'an could think of after racking his brains.
"No, I'm already married, I won't get a divorce... Ji Chen is very good to me." She didn't know why she said those words, and afterwards she felt only regret.
What is she doing? Why is she explaining so much? Wasn't it just an apology?
"Alright, it's good that you're not angry. When your factory is stable and you come back, Ji Chen and I will throw you a welcome-back party."
Jiang Xue tried her best to soften her tone and get Sun Ze'an to let go, but only Jiang Xue knew the deep sense of powerlessness she felt.
After a long while, there was still no sound from the other end of the phone.
"I'm hanging up."
for a long time
There was still no sound from the other end.
"I'm hanging up now. I know you're listening. I hope these little things won't be stumbling blocks on your road to success."
After Jiang Xue finished speaking, she prepared to hang up the phone.
The phone hung above the landline, and a soft, self-deprecating laugh came from the other end.
"Losing something so important, it would be such a disservice to myself if we didn't succeed. Once my machine is in production, I'll send you a few units. If you accept them, I'll forgive you for losing my mother's job."
With a light and joking tone, Jiang Xue's tears slowly flowed again.
She used to think she was a hard-hearted person, but now she realizes that she is a person who is soft-hearted to the extreme.
for a long time
She said, "Okay."
She was already in tears when she hung up the phone.
She wiped away her tears and returned to the shop, where she saw Ji Chen holding Shao Meng, sitting on the sofa and feeding her steamed buns.
A self-deprecating smile appeared on her lips. Perhaps romance, poetry, and distant places are more alluring and captivating.
However, it is the warmth and everyday life of ordinary people that is more comforting.
"Have you eaten?" Jiang Xue stepped forward and asked Ji Chen with concern.
Seeing how concerned she was about him, Ji Chen was secretly overjoyed. "No," he replied.
Jiang Xue shook her head, deliberately using a complaining tone, "You're such a grown-up, why didn't you buy a couple more steamed buns?"
"Boss, don't listen to his nonsense. He's been sitting there for a while and has already eaten three buns. Look, Aunt Zhou and I are so busy that we haven't even had a chance to eat."
Gu Xiaoling's吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or witty remarks) caused everyone to burst into laughter.
