Chapter 196 Crying
Feng Lan looked at her daughter with mixed feelings.
The child seemed fine on the surface, but the more this happened, the more worried I became.
"Okay, since you want to go, we can go together."
Feng Lan decided to go along with her daughter's wishes. "It just so happens that you have better vision than me. Please help me with some advice."
In the morning, the mother and daughter packed up and prepared to go out.
Chen Kangbo wanted to follow, but was rejected by San Ya.
"Dad, you should rest at home. You were exhausted from looking for me last night."
"Then you better be careful," Chen Kangbo warned.
Li Xing wanted to follow, but San Ya shook her head, "Mr. Li, you're tired too. Rest first."
Feng Lan and San Ya went out and walked on the streets of Jinzhou.
San Ya was talking about business with Feng Lan all the way, as if what happened last night had never happened.
"Mom, I think Jinzhou has great potential."
Sanya pointed at the shops along the street and said, "There's a lot of traffic here, and their spending power is pretty good. If we could open a branch here, the business would definitely be good."
Feng Lan responded, but she was thinking about how to enlighten her daughter.
When we arrived at the agreed location, the hosts were already waiting.
When Boss Wang saw San Ya, he greeted her warmly.
"Miss San Ya, we were all very sorry that we didn't see you yesterday."
"Some personal matters delayed me."
Sanya responded politely, "I came here today to hear everyone's thoughts."
Several people sat around the tea table and began to discuss the details of cooperation.
San Ya was very focused throughout the whole process, and asked some sharp questions from time to time, which left several bosses stunned.
"That's very thoughtful of you, girl."
Zhang Dongjia said admiringly, "We didn't even think of these details."
"You have to think carefully when doing business."
San Ya said calmly, "Otherwise, you will be the one who suffers."
After two hours of discussion, several cooperation plans were basically finalized.
The owners were very satisfied and expressed their desire to start preparations as soon as possible.
After seeing off the hosts, Feng Lan and San Ya took a stroll on the way back.
"Girl, you behaved very well today."
Feng Lan praised, "Those old foxes were all stumped by your questions."
"These people do have some ulterior motives, but it's not a big problem."
San Ya analyzed, "As long as the contract terms are clearly defined, they won't be able to cause any trouble."
Feng Lan looked at her daughter's serious expression, feeling both relieved and worried.
"Girl, what happened last night..."
"Mom, I know you're worried about me."
San Ya stopped and said, "I admit that I was very sad when I heard the news, but I won't be depressed because of this little setback."
Feng Lan nodded. "I'm relieved that you think so."
"I still have my life to live and my career to pursue."
Sanya looked into the distance and said, "He's just a man. I can still live well without him."
Feng Lan felt both distressed and proud when she heard her daughter's words.
This child has been strong since she was young, but the more so, the more worried she is that she is hiding all the pain in her heart.
When they returned to their residence, Li Xing and Chen Kangbo were waiting for them.
"How was it? Did the talks go well?" Chen Kangbo asked with concern.
"It went pretty smoothly."
Sanya briefly explained the situation and said, "We'll be able to sign the formal contract in a few days."
Li Xing had been observing San Ya's expression and found that she was indeed much calmer than last night, but her eyes lacked the previous brilliance.
During dinner, San Ya ate very little, but she kept chatting with everyone, so the atmosphere was not too dull.
"Mr. Li, when will you go back?" San Ya asked.
"In two days."
Li Xing looked at her, "What about you guys?"
"We'll be here for a while."
Sanya said, "The contract hasn't been finalized yet, and I want to learn more about the Jinzhou market."
It was late at night and everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
Feng Lan tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, feeling that San Ya's reaction was too abnormal.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a slight sound coming from the next room.
Feng Lan quietly got up, listened against the wall, and found that it was the sound of a door opening.
She put on her clothes and tiptoed to the window, where she saw San Ya's figure slowly walking towards the small pavilion in the yard under the moonlight.
Feng Lan hesitated for a moment, but still followed him out.
San Ya was sitting in the pavilion with a pot of wine in front of her, drinking one cup after another.
The moonlight shone on her, making her look particularly lonely.
"Girl." Feng Lan called softly.
San Ya turned around and saw her mother, and forced a smile, "Mom, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"I can't sleep."
Feng Lan walked over and sat next to her daughter. "You can't sleep either?"
"Um."
San Ya drank another glass of wine and said, "I feel a little confused and want to drink some wine."
Feng Lan looked at her daughter's red eyes and felt very distressed. "Girl, if you want to cry, just cry."
"I didn't want to cry."
Sanya shook her head, "I feel like a fool."
"How can he be a fool?"
"After waiting for so long, it turns out they already had other plans."
Sanya smiled bitterly, "I foolishly thought he would really wait for me."
Feng Lan gently stroked her daughter's back. "It's not your fault. Who can say for sure when it comes to matters of the heart?"
"Mom, am I useless?"
Sanya's voice was a little choked with sobs, "I can't even keep the person I love."
"What nonsense?"
Feng Lan said sternly, "You are the most outstanding girl I have ever seen. Any man who can marry you is blessed."
San Ya leaned on her mother's shoulder and finally couldn't hold back her tears.
San Ya cried for a long time in Feng Lan's arms, her tears like beads that had broken off the string.
Feng Lan stroked her daughter's hair, feeling so heartbroken that she couldn't speak.
"Mom, I want to go to Beijing."
San Ya suddenly raised her head, tears still in her eyes.
Feng Lan was stunned. "Why go to the capital?"
"I want to see him in person."
Sanya clenched her fists and said, "Even if it's just a glimpse from a distance."
"Confused!"
Feng Lan was anxious. "What can we do in the capital now? They are all going to marry the princess. You will only make yourself bored if you go."
San Ya lowered her head and said, "I just want to confirm whether he is really willing."
"Girl, some things are not as simple as you think."
Feng Lan sighed, "The imperial decree has been issued, and he has no choice."
As he was speaking, Chen Kangbo came over with his clothes draped over him.
"Why are you two here? It's cold at night, don't catch a cold."
Feng Lan winked at him, and Chen Kangbo immediately understood.
"Girl, Dad knows you're upset, but nine out of ten things in this world don't go as planned. We have to learn to accept it."
Sanya wiped her tears and said, "I know, it just takes time."
Just then, there was a hurried knock on the door.
The three of them looked at each other. Who would come so late?
Chen Kangbo went to open the door, and a dusty young man was standing outside.
"Hello, is this Aunt Feng's residence?" the visitor asked politely.
"Yes, you are?" Chen Kangbo looked at the man.
"My name is Zhao Ming, and I'm a friend of Master Su Wenbin."
The young man bowed and said, "I need to see Aunt Feng urgently."
