Zhu Qianying didn't know if Luo Yifan had ever told his mother he liked her, but it was quite remarkable that he would so openly admit to a child that he liked his mother.
Because, at my mom's age, it's really hard to find someone she dares to openly say she likes.
Of course, none of these can justify their interference with their mother.
Anyway, she still maintains that she will take a wait-and-see approach to everything, offering some suggestions for reference, but not interfering with her mother's final decision.
"What did Zizai say?"
Zhu Qianying thought she needed to properly educate her son, to stop him from saying or doing anything reckless.
"I told him to keep up the good work!"
Zizai blinked. "Mommy, am I wrong to say that?"
"Hmm, Zizai is very good, that's right." Zhu Qianying patted Zizai's head approvingly.
In this way, Zhu Qianying's worries disappeared.
It seems that getting Vic Zhou's help is not a privilege everyone can receive; it's likely that only his father can help.
Therefore, Zhu Qianying stopped constantly worrying about Luo Yifan, because she knew that Luo Yifan was trying to win her mother's favor based on his feelings for her.
And Mom, in this matter, also changed her previous indecisive attitude and became extremely determined.
...
Perhaps because Cheng Ye was there, Chen Jing came home exceptionally early these past two nights. Before Zizai and Bai Xiaolu had even finished tidying up the toys scattered all over the house, she was already back.
"Mom, there's some sweet soup in the kitchen. Shall I get you a bowl?"
The weather has been getting warmer lately, so Zhu Qianying has been making refreshing sweet soup for the past few days, which the whole family loves.
Even Yan Shao, who used to dislike sweet soups and rarely touched desserts, now greatly appreciates all kinds of sweet soups cooked by Zhu Qianying.
"Okay, I'll play with Zizai and Xiaolu for a while."
Since opening this restaurant, Chen Jing's time with her grandson has plummeted to almost zero. Before, she could at least see him during meals, but now, since everyone rarely eats at the restaurant, the time she can see her son has become increasingly shorter.
Zizai and Bai Xiaolu were squatting in the corner tidying up building blocks. Bai Xiaolu was very careful, stacking the blocks one by one into the wooden box, while the young master was unruly and carelessly throwing the blocks into the box. Not only did he mess up his own work, but he also messed up Bai Xiaolu's hard work. When he threw a block in, it knocked another block up, making it bounce high, and then with a "crash," all the blocks that Bai Xiaolu had stacked in the box fell over.
Bai Xiaolu glared angrily, "Yan Xu, are you asking for trouble?"
Sometimes, whether it's because he's careless or he deliberately wants to tease Bai Xiaolu, Zizai always has to provoke Bai Xiaolu every now and then before he feels at ease.
Even now!
"So what if it itches? Are you going to hit me?"
As he spoke, he suddenly stood up and hopped to the other side of the living room.
Although Bai Xiaolu is a girl, she is also very agile. She suddenly stood up and chased after Zizai like an arrow.
Chen Jing felt helpless about the fact that these two little brats would quarrel every few days, but she was powerless to do anything about it. She realized that she could take care of the two children and loved them very much, but she could never understand them no matter what.
Like her two daughters, Chen Jing realized a long time ago that she couldn't actually enter their world.
Perhaps my insight into people's hearts is too poor. I was like this with Zhu Zhizhou before, with my daughter and grandson before, and now I am like this with Luo Yifan.
While lost in thought, Chen Jing helped the two little ones tidy up the toys that hadn't been put away on the floor.
The two little ones darted out from the living room onto the terrace, and then from the terrace to the back garden. Outside, there were the sounds of the two children playing and Xingxing trying to break up their fight.
The noise grew louder and louder. Chen Jing was worried that the two little brats might hurt each other, so she got up and went to check on them.
Over there, Zhu Qianying brought out the sweet soup and called out to her.
"Mom, come and have some sweet soup."
Chen Jing looked at the backyard with some worry. Although since she brought Xingxing back, the lights outside had been as bright as day before Xingxing went to sleep.
But Chen Jing was still worried that the children and the dog might accidentally hurt each other, so she said, "Ying'er, I'll go check on the two children first."
Zhu Qianying said, "Mom, don't worry about them..."
"But I'm afraid they'll hurt each other..."
It's alright if your grandson gets hurt; you'll feel bad, but if it's not a serious injury, there's no need to worry too much.
But if Bai Xiaolu is injured, that's a different story.
There has been no news of Bai Xiangdong and Bai Shao to this day, and she doesn't know what the outcome will be. If she can't even fulfill her responsibility of taking care of their child, how will she face Bai Xiangdong and his daughter in the future?
"Mom, everything will be alright!"
Zhu Qianying placed the sweet soup on the coffee table, strode over, pulled the person back, and pressed them down onto the sofa.
"Ying'er, I'm afraid Zizai will hit too hard and hurt Xiaolu..." Chen Jing said anxiously.
"Mom, do you really think Zizai is bullying Xiaolu?"
"Huh? Isn't that right? I clearly saw Zizai causing trouble and knocking down the building blocks that Xiaolu had painstakingly tidied up."
They say seeing is believing, and she personally witnessed her grandson bullying Xiao Lu.
Of course, most of the time, Zizai is a very well-behaved and considerate child, but when he gets naughty, apart from his father, there are really not many people who can stand him.
"Mom, Zizai saw that Xiaolu was sullen and was afraid she would overthink things, so he deliberately did this to make Xiaolu stop spending so much time there overthinking. Besides, the two little ones are tired from running around, and they can fall asleep right after their bath, which will save us a lot of trouble!"
After listening to her daughter's analysis, Chen Jing thought about it carefully and realized that it really was true. So, she had misunderstood Zizai.
It seems that I can't see through the hearts of adults, and I can't even see through the hearts of a five-year-old child.
What a failure!
"well……"
Chen Jing sighed as she thought to herself.
Hearing her mother sigh, Zhu Qianying assumed it was about Luo Yifan, so she quickly sat down next to her and asked with concern.
"Mom, are you feeling unwell?"
Chen Jing shook her head without saying a word, picked up the sugar water and took two sips before speaking.
"Ying'er, do you think I've wasted the last forty years of my life?"
Zhu Qianying was startled. Who on earth had triggered her mother's inferiority complex again?
Mingming, after these years of independence, Mom's mindset has been adjusted very well in all aspects. The self-deprecating personality she used to have is long gone.
"Mom, did Luo Yifan say something to upset you?"
This time, it was Chen Jing's turn to be stunned.
"Huh? What does it have to do with him?"
She admitted that Luo Yifan's presence did make her feel uncomfortable.
But when it comes to being unhappy, it seems not.
