Xu Wan squatted down and carefully examined the child's clothes, then smiled and affirmed, "Very nice, very suitable for you!"
At this moment, Ling Ya came out of the greenhouse and asked with a smile, "Attorney Xu is here."
"Yes, Aunt Ling, my husband is in the hospital, and I'd like to buy a bouquet of flowers to put in his room," Xu Wan explained the reason for her visit.
Hearing her words, Sen Sen muttered softly, "Your husband is so weak, it's so hard for him to be hospitalized."
"Sen Sen!" Ling Ya warned, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't know anything."
"That's true. Look at my brother, he's over 30 and he's in great health. I've never seen him get sick or hospitalized in my entire life."
Sen Sen pouted so much her little mouth could hold a soy sauce bottle, trying to justify her behavior.
Ling Ya didn't hide anything from Xu Wan and said directly, "What kind of status does your brother have? Even if he's really sick, would he make such a big fuss about it? Besides, you haven't seen him in a long time. Maybe you wouldn't even know if he had a cold or fever."
“He wouldn’t do that,” Sen Sen retorted.
Xu Wan deliberately said, "Sen Sen really likes her brother."
Sen Sen got even angrier, "I didn't!"
Ling Ya pulled Xu Wan aside to talk business, "Attorney Xu, what color does your husband like? Or does he have a favorite flower? If not, I can pick some with a light fragrance for you, such as carnations or sunflowers."
Xu Wan then realized that she couldn't answer the question.
This wasn't the only question she couldn't answer; there were many other questions about Jiang Tingzhou that she couldn't answer either.
Xu Wan said awkwardly, "You can choose whichever you like."
"good."
Lingya quickly chose the flowers, and after Xu Wan agreed, she said while wrapping them, "I took Sen Sen to the school for an interview a few days ago. I thought it was just a formality, but I didn't expect it to be just like an adult interview."
"Sen Sen is so smart, she'll definitely be fine."
"No way! I never really felt the pressure when people talked about the education system being competitive before, but this time I realized how competitive it really is in China. When Sen Sen went for the interview, her only advantage was in English; otherwise, she couldn't compare to those other kids at all!"
Lingya couldn't help but get emotional when she brought up this matter.
“Do you know what? Those kids who went for the interviews were only six or seven years old, and they could recite a hundred ancient poems. I thought it was already good enough if they could do addition and subtraction within 100, but those kids could even do multiplication and division! And each of them had a talent to show off, like violin or street dance. Compared to them, Sen Sen…” Ling Ya said in a low voice, “is like an idiot.”
Xu Wan was stunned. "It can't be that bad, can it?"
“Really! I don’t know how such a young child can learn so much!” Ling Ya sighed. “It’s not that I don’t know how children become like that. My eldest son went through the same thing. It breaks my heart to see him carrying so much at such a young age, so I don’t want Sen Sen to follow in his footsteps.”
As they were talking, Lingya had already finished wrapping the flowers.
She handed the flowers to Xu Wan, saying, "Thank you for listening to my rant. Your husband is sick, you should go see him soon."
Xu Wan took the flowers and comforted Ling Ya, "Aunt Ling, don't worry, I believe Sen Sen will be fine."
"Thank you, and I wish your husband a speedy recovery," Lingya replied.
Xu Wan carried the flowers to Jiang Tingzhou's ward. The man was sitting at the table working on his computer. When he saw her come in, he immediately stood up from his chair and said, "I've finished my work. I'll rest now."
The man got up too quickly, which aggravated his back injury, causing him to frown slightly.
Xu Wan quickly put the flowers down and helped him up, saying, "You haven't been working all day, have you?"
"No, I rested for a while at noon." Jiang Tingzhou pulled Xu Wan aside and told her the truth, "But there's something I need to tell you first. I'm going on a business trip tomorrow."
