I thought we could all go back to our rooms after watching the show, but Su Yang still had something to say.
"Kids. Actually, I watched this program a few days ago when it was broadcast live. Although I didn't watch it all day, I would glance at it whenever I had a spare moment. So tonight, strictly speaking, is the second time I've watched it."
"I was actually quite moved while watching it, which is why I insisted on keeping you all here today to watch it with me again."
"How should I put it? I don't even know where to begin. It seems like everything started changing when Yan Yan decided to give up joining the company and step into the entertainment industry."
"Overnight, due to various circumstances, Yan Yan suddenly came into contact with Jing He. Jing He started coming home more and more often. Then came Zhi Rou's matter."
"My whole family is very sad about this, and I was also shocked, but it's also a good thing because we know the truth."
"Then Jingchuan and Yan Yan ran into each other again while recording the show. Jingchuan didn't tell any of us beforehand. I originally went to the show to see Yan Yan, but I didn't expect to see my son unexpectedly as well."
“I know that in the past few years, or even more than a decade, the relationships between you brothers, including with your parents, have been...very average.”
"But this time, because of Zhirou's matter, I was hospitalized and I truly felt your concern for Mom. In this program, I also saw Jingchuan's love and care for his younger sister."
"To be honest, your parents are very pleased to see this. So we hope that you brothers and sisters can get along well in the future, okay?"
Su Yang's heartfelt words reveal a mother's expectations for her children.
However, the way the brothers got along over the past ten years had already been established. If no one was suddenly possessed by another soul like Wen Yan or actively changed, it would be difficult to change the status quo.
Therefore, even though Su Yang's eyes were already red, the Shen brothers could not fully empathize with her.
Only Wen Yan warmed up the mood by saying, "Mom, actually my eldest brother, second brother, and fourth brother are all very good to me."
Then Shen Jingxiu said, "Mom, it will be alright."
Shen Jinghe remained silent.
Shen Jingchuan threw the empty popcorn cone into the trash can and said:
"Mom, everyone has their own life. Just take care of yourself."
Shen Jinghe stood up at this moment: "Mom, I'm tired after a long day, I'll go back to my room to rest first."
"..." Su Yang was at her wit's end. "Since you're tired, go and rest. Yan Yan and Jing Chuan, come with me to the study."
The family parted on bad terms. Wen Yan glanced at Shen Yuan and felt that he had aged considerably in an instant.
That's true. At this age, their careers have reached their peak, they have everything they could want materially, and they are in good health. All they probably want is a harmonious family.
On her way to Su Yang's study, Wen Yan quickly sent a message to Shen Jinghe.
"Second brother, second brother, I'll come find you in a bit. I have something to discuss with you."
"Let's do it another day."
Shen Jinghe replied instantly.
I'm very tired from filming these past two days, I'm going to sleep.
Wen Yan sensed that he didn't seem very happy, and she had originally wanted to say a few more words.
Unexpectedly, the other party immediately sent a 'get lost' emoji.
Wen Yan: ...Very good, it seems that there is nothing wrong with his mental state.
-
Shen Jingchuan and Wen Yan quickly followed Su Yang to her study.
Su Yang gestured for the two of them to sit down.
She first looked at Shen Jingchuan, her gaze gentle yet filled with heartache.
"Mom's youngest son has grown up. You were a spoiled little tyrant since you were a child, but after watching the show, I realized that you have mastered so many life skills over the years while you were abroad."
"You can start a fire, set up a tent, chop wood and cook, fish, and gut fish. Actually, even now, your mother doesn't dare to kill chickens or fish, and your father probably doesn't either. You can also protect your younger sister."
"I suppose your life outside these past few years hasn't been as carefree as your parents imagine, has it?"
"Mom..." Shen Jingchuan felt a little uncomfortable. "Why are you suddenly getting so sentimental? This is all child's play. You don't need to know how to kill chickens and fish. Supermarket and vegetable market vendors can do that."
Su Yang smiled and said, "Killing chickens and fish isn't the point. What I wanted to say is..."
"I know! But there's nothing to say about it." A real man doesn't make a fuss over trivial matters.
"You didn't call Wen Yan in just to hear you say these things, did you?"
"Of course not. It's just that I'm very happy to see that the relationship between you two siblings has been restored."
As Su Yang spoke, she walked over and sat down opposite the two of them.
"Back then, you had a conflict because of that fake Zhirou, and to be honest, I didn't know how to handle it. At that time, that girl was just like Yan Yan, both of them were my precious children, and I didn't know how to balance them."
As Su Yang spoke, she placed Wen Yan and Shen Jingchuan's hands in her palms and held them at the same time.
"But I'm really happy to see you siblings have put your differences behind you."
Wen Yan: "…………" So there was such a thing before. It seems I'll have to dig deeper later.
"Mom, don't worry! There are no more obstacles on the road to a good relationship between my fourth brother and me. We will get along well from now on."
"Great!" Su Yang was pleased, then turned to Shen Jingchuan, "And you?"
Shen Jingchuan glanced at Wen Yan: "As long as she doesn't make any more unreasonable demands, that's fine."
Wen Yan smiled and said, "The past is all embarrassing history, can we not mention it? I was actually forced into it back then."
After saying what she wanted to say to Wen Yan, Su Yang kept Shen Jingchuan behind.
"I heard from Yan Yan that you went out of town these past few days to try and attract investment. How did it go? Did things go smoothly?"
Mentioning this matter, Shen Jingchuan couldn't help but frown: "Is it alright?"
Su Yang frowned as well: "What do you mean by 'okay'? Did you manage to pull her or not?"
Shen Jingchuan let out a silent sigh: "We got it, but not much."
"That's not bad," Su Yang smiled slightly, "It seems you have some connections in China. How much are you still lacking?"
"It's far from good."
"So you went to film variety shows?"
"Yes, my agent knows the show's producer, so I got in through connections."
"Then your reward must not have been very high."
"It doesn't matter, at least I can make money."
"How about I invest some money in you? Why don't you come to me?"
“You were worried about your sister back then, and I didn’t want to talk about it. But…” Shen Jingchuan’s eyes lit up instantly, “You brought it up today.”
