Chapter 210 New Tenant
Six eyes met, swords flashed and sabers flashed.
Before Liu Yunshan's eyes became sore, she asked a soul-searching question: "Will Jiang Yunhui also move in in a few days?"
The mother and daughter shook their heads in unison, as if to assure her, "Don't worry, it's just us, mother and son, there won't be anyone else."
"Hey, isn't this your real plan? You guys squeezed into my house one by one, and then pushed me out to use me as a shield? Xiang Nuan, Mrs. Jiang, you can't be so stupid as to think that Jiang Chao is causing trouble for you just because of me and because he ruined my endorsement for you? You have made a wrong calculation!"
Xiang Nuan quickly shook her head and waved her hands, just like a double rattle.
"I'm not that stupid, and neither are you, don't worry."
Xiang Nuan seemed to want to make sure that she was really relieved, and actually held her hand. Liu Yunshan quickly shook it off with disdain, her eyes full of contempt, but she didn't notice the smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Then again, there are so many people who have taken risks for me..."
"There's no need to elaborate on this." Xiang Nuan stopped her in time.
"Three days. I'm leaving to record the show tomorrow. I don't want to see you when I come back." She said this fiercely, not wanting to look at them again.
Jiang Ranran made a face at her back, but he was too tired from crying and only had enough strength to snuggle in Xiang Nuan's arms.
Xiang Nuan tried to put him to sleep, but he held her collar tightly and refused to let go. She had no choice but to hold him in her arms and rock him gently like a baby.
"Little bully, huh?" She looked down at the soft little guy and couldn't believe that this was the legendary reincarnated devil child.
"Go home." He murmured. Xiang Nuan suddenly felt distressed. It seemed too cruel for this child.
He originally had no concept of a mother, but by some strange coincidence one had to be forced upon him. When he got used to the existence of maternal love, he was ruthlessly forced to acknowledge the fact that he had no mother in the first place.
Xiang Nuan sighed softly and patted his back gently.
"If I don't go back, I'll have no home." He suddenly seemed to be frightened and startled.
"No." Xiang Nuan tried to make him relax.
"Yes, Dad is going to sell the house."
Xiang Nuan didn't react for a moment. By the time she realized the meaning of his every word, she had already forgotten about coaxing him to sleep.
"Sell the house? Who? Your dad? Which house? The one you live in now?" She started asking questions in a barrage of questions in a hurry.
Jiang Ranran nodded, his eyes blurred again. His "battery" was only enough to play the word "go home" on a loop, but these two mechanically repeated words became a lullaby, and he finally couldn't hold on any longer and lowered his head.
All the questions in Xiang Nuan's mind were activated, and a thousand threads were tangled in her mind. Jiang Yunhui... Oh, I really don't know whether to say he is stupid or strong.
"Mother……"
When he put Ranran on the bed, he muttered to himself, which made Xiang Nuan's heart ache and tears fell uncontrollably.
I really have no idea. I planned everything, but I didn't expect that the biggest obstacle would be this child.
After he fell into a deep sleep and his little fists tightly clenched around the corner of his clothes loosened, Xiang Nuan quietly left the bedroom with her numb body stretched out.
She desperately needed some ice water to cool her head.
"What are you going to do?" Liu Yunshan hadn't rested yet and was curled up in the corner of the sofa waiting for her.
Her bright eyes really sounded like copper bells in the pitch-black night. Xiang Nuan was really startled, but she didn't bother to reply and ran straight to the kitchen. After she gulped down a large glass of water, she let out a long breath.
She dragged her body, which had not yet fully recovered consciousness, onto the sofa and almost screamed to the sky. But as soon as a sound came out of her throat, she quickly covered her mouth.
Good Luck——
She peeked into the bedroom furtively, making sure she hadn't woken Jiang Ranran up before she collapsed dejectedly again.
It's really unbearable to watch. Liu Yunshan's contempt was about to overflow from the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. I only saw her easily control Jiang Ranran on the show before, but I didn't expect that you are such a Mrs. Jiang in private. Tiger mom? It's horrible to see how cowardly you are.
"What should we do?"
"go home."
Liu Yunshan burst out laughing, as if she had expected this answer.
"And then?" She had a look on her face that showed she was enjoying the show and was waiting for confirmation of her guess rather than looking at Nuan's reaction.
"Go find Jiang Chao and report."
"Hahahahahahaha," she jumped up, not showing any sign of tiredness in the dead of night.
"This doesn't mean that I lose." Xiang Nuan seemed powerless even when she tried to argue.
"Of course not. This is just the beginning of your losing. You will only lose again and again for the rest of your life."
Xiang Nuan looked at her in disbelief. Why was she only gloating over other people's misfortunes and not sharing her experiences?! Didn't you also escape from their clutches and win a sense of independence and freedom?
Liu Yunshan saw through her thoughts, and pouted her lips in a rather proud manner: "Don't look at me. How do you think I got to where I am today? There is no freedom without bloodshed, and that is a road that has no return."
Xiang Nuan raised his eyebrows, suppressed his smile and hugged her shoulders. She hadn't reacted yet, but after a moment of stunned silence, she realized that she had been tricked again.
Even though they both knew very well about her relationship with Jiang Chao and had never spoken about it clearly, what she just said was tantamount to a confession without any explanation!
Her face suddenly turned red, and she was about to get angry. But Xiang Nuan hugged her tightly and even leaned her head on her shoulder, as if they were best friends who trusted each other and could comfort each other.
“There is no freedom without bloodshed. And the blood that must be shed does not have to be your own.”
Liu Yunshan's anger cooled down, and suddenly a chill rose from her back. The familiar Xiang Nuan was back.
"Don't do anything stupid. Jiang Chao has more than just money."
"But he only loves money."
"Are you crazy?"
"How can you live without being crazy?"
Liu Yunshan pushed her away, as if looking at a monster on the verge of collapse.
"I'll only say this once. I won't admit it if you ask me next time." She suddenly became serious, biting her lip and thinking for a moment, as if she had made a great decision. "I actually want to ask you, why do you think Jiang Chao insisted that you design the auto show?"
“Isn’t it because of my talent?”
Xiang Nuan wanted to ease the awkward atmosphere, but Liu Yunshan's face darkened and she stood up to leave. If she hadn't been quick to hug her around the waist, she would have been so angry that she would have left.
"It's definitely not because of my talent! I was wrong, go on!"
"Talent is shit! There are so many people who want to cooperate with him, who want to take his business, who doesn't have talent?!"
"That's not directed at me!"
"Why not?"
"Because he's not stupid, he has no shortage of women. He's handsome, talented, and even if he wants to do something unconventional or have some special hobby, he can do it easily. There's no need to go to all that trouble for a woman!"
Xiang Nuan straightened his neck, looking like a scoundrel who said, "I'm going to say this today." Liu Yunshan suddenly let out a sigh of relief.
"You're not stupid. It's good that you can figure this out."
Xiang Nuan's heart warmed up, and she suddenly felt that this big star who was always arrogant and cocky had such a soft and kind heart. She pretended to smile unhappily: "Thank you. He doesn't even cherish you, which means he doesn't care about any feelings at all."
Liu Yunshan lowered her eyelids, and the memories that had been suppressed for many years were stirring in the dusty corner of her heart. Xiang Nuan gently put his arm around her shoulders, and this time she did not avoid it in disgust, but forced a tired smile.
For someone like him, emotions are not a luxury but a burden.
