I said goodbye to my friend.
Jiang Tong then led the children to pack their luggage, preparing to travel around with Zhou Yuansheng.
Hanhan and Peipei were both very excited.
Because apart from the last time they went to another city to pick up their mother, the two of them had never been to a very far place.
This time I can finally go somewhere else to have some fun.
There are plenty of places to visit within China, and the beautiful landscapes of the country are waiting for them to explore.
Zhou Jiaqi is not old, but he has been to many places. He also has a good memory and can talk a lot about his memories.
Hanhan and Peipei were both quite envious.
The plan for this trip is to visit Zhou Yuansheng's family after the tour.
They are packing their luggage.
Uncle He suddenly knocked on the door, saying that Fiya had said at the entrance of the community that she wanted to give Zhou Jiaqi a gift.
Zhou Yuansheng asked him to bring the gift in, and Uncle He took the gift and handed it over somewhat awkwardly. Zhou Jiaqi looked at it for a while, then turned around and ran away awkwardly. Uncle He sighed inwardly, "What kind of nonsense is this?"
Jiang Tong accepted it readily, smiling and saying, "It's alright, give it to me."
The elderly person is also in a difficult position.
Uncle He was surprised by Jiang Tong's composure and couldn't help but feel admiration. He immediately smiled and said, "Well, then I'll leave it to you. I'll go back first."
Jiang Tong smiled and told the old man to take care.
After looking at the gift, I noticed it was quite heavy and looked like a building block toy.
Zhou Jiaqi glanced back curiously a few times, but then looked away again. No child would completely forget about their birth mother; she still thought about her after all. It was a pity that Fia had abandoned the child so decisively.
No wonder the child was heartbroken.
Jiang Tong walked over to the sofa and beckoned to Zhou Jiaqi, the little rascal, "Come and take a look? It looks like the building blocks you like! The colors are so pretty!"
Zhou Jiaqi looked into Jiang Tong's eyes and saw that she wasn't angry and was still smiling. Only then did he muster up the courage to walk over and sit directly in Jiang Tong's lap.
Jiang Tong hugged him and patted his back. Kids grow so fast. The little guy is sturdy and has a big frame. He'll definitely grow up to be as tall as his dad. Right now, nestled in her arms, he looks even more like a little bear.
"Your dad asked Grandpa He to bring it back, so you can take a look without worry. It won't hurt, right?"
When Zhou Jiaqi saw the gift in front of him, he looked up at his Aunt Jiang and said, "Aunt Jiang, aren't you angry? If I accept her gift, I'm afraid you and Daddy will be sad."
Jiang Tong hugged him and whispered, "Why are you sad? She is her, I am me, and your daddy is your daddy. Although she made a mistake and left you, it seems she regrets it and has come to apologize to you."
"Your aunt and dad would rather you be happy than be unhappy every day or have regrets. Whether you forgive her or not is up to you."
Jiang Tong patted the little boy's head and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Poor child, just like Hanhan and Peipei, he had to face the breakdown of his parents at such a young age, which made him sensitive. But children are much stronger than adults imagine, it's just that they may not be able to understand.
If you talk to them nicely, they will be able to think about problems independently.
I'll understand.
If Jiang Tong continues to endure the humiliation of her scumbag ex-husband's home for the sake of her daughters, she would be truly foolish. Therefore, when the other party crosses her bottom line, there is really no need to tolerate it anymore. Life can still be good now, and her two daughters are adapting very well.
Encouraged by Jiang Tong, Zhou Jiaqi chose to face the situation for the first time. He reached out and untied the gift, only to find that it was a limited edition building block set that he really liked.
Even his father would have to put in some effort to find it, but the other party found it for him.
Zhou Jiaqi asked Jiang Tong in a childish voice, "So she's apologizing to me now, right?"
Jiang Tong immediately nodded, "Yes, you can interpret it that way; she is indeed apologizing to you."
Whether or not he forgives is a matter of choice.
"So you don't need to have such big concerns. You can try to feel it and then see if you want to forgive her. You don't need to consider your father's and my feelings. Just follow your own heart."
Every child is an independent individual, and their choices should be respected.
The key is to strike the right balance.
However, Jiang Tong believes that since Zhou Yuansheng was comfortable letting Zhou Jiaqi contact his biological mother, the other party must be a decent person, at least not as unreasonable as her scumbag mother-in-law. Otherwise, he wouldn't have felt comfortable letting the child have contact with her.
The matter of his biological mother is definitely a thorn in Zhou Jiaqi's side. It's not a good thing for him to bury his head in the sand and avoid talking about it. It would be best to resolve the issue.
Zhou Jiaqi was touching the building blocks, his little head drooping as if he was looking at something. Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something, and then immediately took out an envelope from it.
"Aunt Jiang, look! There's a letter!!"
Jiang Tong was also a little surprised, then looked at it and said, "Honey, it seems to be written for you? Do you want me to read it to you? Or would you like your daddy to read it to you?"
Her voice was very gentle.
Zhou Jiaqi liked Aunt Jiang and had become quite dependent on her without realizing it. He immediately said, "Aunt Jiang, please read to me." Then he looked at her expectantly.
Jiang Tong agreed, then sat down with him in her arms before opening the exquisite letter.
"My dearest baby, by the time you read this letter, I will have already headed to the airport..."
"I don't know how to get along with you. Forgive me for being a failure, a failing mother, and a failing lover, which is why I ended up like this."
"Perhaps your father is right. I shouldn't have treated you like a child who doesn't understand anything, using methods that coaxed a toddler to get close to you. I should be honest with you about why I left. Although it's shameful, I was indeed very selfish..."
In this letter, Fia apologized to Zhou Jiaqi and explained why she was leaving.
She admitted her initial cowardice, only craving the passion of the honeymoon phase, but unwilling to endure the ordinariness of everyday life. She always pursued living a spectacular life in her limited time, but cruelly abandoned her family, friends, and even her lover and children.
She admits she was very irresponsible, and now, facing the consequences of her choice of freedom—loneliness—she tries to escape thinking about her father and son. She does indeed seem like a bad person, so she sincerely apologizes to them.
I'm sorry to have come back and disturbed their peaceful life again because of my own selfish desires.
"Although I have left you behind, I often think of you in the dead of night. I pray for your safety and health, and I pray that you can grow up strong and healthy."
“You seem to like your new mother very much, and your father is taking good care of you. Please also apologize to her for disturbing her peaceful life. I’ve been thinking a lot these days, and perhaps it’s time for me to embark on my own journey again. I will still pray for your safety and health from afar—Fia.”
Zhou Jiaqi's eyes reddened halfway through the conversation, and he began to sob.
