However, after Jiang Yixing left, Rong Hang visibly became depressed. He tried his best to control his emotions and did not want to affect his family's good mood. His two older brothers, perhaps because it was the first time they had spent the Spring Festival with their normal younger brother, took leave from the army early to come back. Jin Yuzhen and Rong Chengzhang, who had retired, started preparing for everything needed at home more than half a month in advance. The entire villa was filled with a special kind of anticipation.
Surrounded by this atmosphere, Rong Hang gained a vague understanding of the festival Jiang Yixing had mentioned. So this was the Spring Festival. Regardless of age, gender, status, wealth, or poverty, this festival was a time of joy and a reward for people after a year of hard work.
However, Jin Yuzhen still noticed Rong Hang's depressed mood. As a mother, she was most sensitive to her child's emotional fluctuations.
However, Jin Yuzhen was actually pleased to see Rong Hang's disappointment at this moment.
The Rong family held another small meeting, attended by Jin Yuzhen, Rong Chengchang, Rong Wei, and Rong Yuan.
Jin Yuzhen gestured forcefully with her eyes to Rong Hang, who was sitting in the small living room, and said in a low voice, "See? He's been unhappy ever since he came back from outside."
Rongyuan was the first to frown. His third brother was unhappy? Although he had taken leave to come back, he still had many important documents to review and sign every day, so he was extremely busy even at home and hadn't noticed his brother's emotional problems.
Rongyuan felt guilty, realizing he hadn't been a good older brother. "Why? Is Xiaohang feeling unwell? I need to go ask him."
Rongwei pulled his older brother down as he was about to get up, his face full of disappointment. "Didn't you hear what Mom said? My younger brother has been unhappy ever since he came home!"
Rongyuan looked at him strangely, not understanding why he repeated himself, "Now that it's been dragged on for so long, we need to resolve this even more quickly."
Roewe rolled his eyes dramatically. "Think about who my little brother was with before he went home?"
Rongyuan thought about it carefully. He seemed to have heard from his younger brother's assistant that his younger brother was currently filming with Jiang Yixing. However, he still couldn't figure out what this had to do with his younger brother's illness. Rongyuan's brows furrowed more and more tightly.
Rong Chengzhang finally realized that ever since Rong Hang asked him how to make a good impression on the elders he was meeting, he had been hoping that Rong Hang would bring Jiang Yixing home every day. But with the festival approaching, Jiang Yixing still hadn't come. Rong Chengzhang was anxious and frustrated. He really wanted to find out about Rong Hang's relationship progress, but he was too embarrassed to ask.
"You mean he's in a bad mood because of Jiang Yixing?"
Rongwei nodded, exchanged a glance with his mother, their brainwaves successfully connecting, and said mysteriously, "Him? This is called lovesickness!"
Jin Yuzhen gave her second son a thumbs-up, "That's right."
Rong Chengchang was worried. "Could something have happened between them? Young people's relationships are very unstable these days, especially since they're both in the entertainment industry. Look at all those handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry, how can their relationships be stable?"
Jin Yuzhen slapped Rong Chengzhang across the face, "Don't curse my son's love life here!"
He then tossed his head, a hint of pride on his face, and said, "Besides, which celebrity is better looking than my son?"
The Rong family members all nodded in agreement. That's true; their Rong family has excellent genes!
However, in the blink of an eye, Jin Yuzhen was also a little worried by what Rong Chengzhang said. Could it be that something really went wrong?
She looked at her second son, the one who always understood her best, and said, "Why don't you go and ask him, Rongwei?"
Seeing his mother's eager expression, Rong Wei shook his head repeatedly. No, no, he was too intimidated by Rong Hang to ask.
Jin Yuzhen then looked at her eldest son, whose face had already turned blank upon hearing that it was a relationship issue, as he knew nothing about such matters.
Looking at her eldest son, Jin Yuzhen shook her head, thinking, "Unreliable, unreliable!"
Looking at Rong Chengzhang again, Rong Chengzhang raised an eyebrow and said, "How can I, a grown man, ask such a question?"
The implication is that this is a question that you, as the mother, should definitely ask.
Jin Yuzhen was so angry that her eyebrows shot up.
Rong Hang, who had been listening to the entire conversation, finally couldn't take it anymore. He closed the newspaper he was reading absentmindedly and said, "There's nothing wrong."
Rong Hang's voice traveled through the small corridor and reached the ears of the Rong family members who were sitting together.
The four people exchanged glances, and Jin Yuzhen chuckled awkwardly, "Oh dear, Xiao Hang, you heard everything?"
The sound of steady footsteps approached, and Rong Hang walked up to the four people. The four of them sat huddled together without any proper posture, discussing how to make him happy. Rong Hang felt as if a small brush had gently tickled his heart, making him feel both itchy and numb.
The group dusted themselves off and stood up. Rong Hang looked at them and felt a pang of sympathy.
This feeling was very unfamiliar, and Rong Hang was somewhat surprised. He pursed his lips before saying:
"She...went home for the Chinese New Year, without taking me with her."
Upon hearing this, Rong Chengzhang immediately asked anxiously, "Why? Did you two have a fight?"
Jin Yuzhen stopped Rong Chengchang. As a woman, she understood the thoughts of other women. A wary girl would not bring a boy home without prior discussion.
Jin Yuzhen pulled Rong Hang's hand over and wrapped her two hands around his, saying, "Don't be impatient. Girls always need to be more cautious."
“Yes,” Rong Hang, though not good at social niceties, instinctively didn’t want Jiang Yixing’s image to be ruined. “She said I should go home and spend time with my family, and that the Spring Festival is a holiday that should be spent with family.”
Everyone was stunned. Rong Chengchang recalled the girl he had met once before. She seemed to be a warm and sensible person, and now that he saw her, it was indeed so.
Jin Yuzhen's emotions fluctuated even more. Yes, it's not so much that Rong Hang needs this Spring Festival, but rather that she needs it.
She desperately wanted to have more time with her son, to let him experience the warmth he had never felt before. If he really left, Jin Yuzhen really didn't know how she would get through the New Year. Would she still have to look at this family that was not really a family reunion, put on a smiling mask, but feel as if a piece of her heart was bleeding, missing, just like in the past?
Jin Yuzhen didn't want to shed tears on such a joyous holiday. She suppressed the bitterness in her heart and solemnly said, "Jiang Yixing is a good child."
Jin Yuzhen raised her eyes and looked into her son's eyes, where she saw the time she had never been a part of and a clear and sincere love for another person. "Ask her, if she is willing, we will visit her in-laws after the New Year."
