Chapter 163 Breaking Through
When Huo Jingchuan looked at Jiang Cha, Jiang Cha could see stars in his eyes.
It’s even more beautiful than the Milky Way in the sky.
Jiang Cha didn't rush to get up. She just threw herself on him and asked with a smile, "How much do you like it?"
"My first love is my country, and my second is ginger tea."
Jiang Cha smiled, "You passed!"
She stood up by supporting herself on Huo Jingchuan's chest, and when she turned around, she saw Ye Surong standing outside Huo Jingchuan's door.
Jiang Cha's face turned pale all of a sudden.
"Mom, why are you here?"
Ye Surong's expression was a little serious. "If I don't come, how long are you going to keep it a secret from me?"
"I……"
Jiang Cha's mind went blank.
She just wanted to wait for the right time to confess this to her mother.
But before she could say anything, her mother discovered it herself, and she was completely unprepared.
"Come with me."
Ye Surong turned around and went to Jiang Cha's room. Jiang Cha followed her fearfully and locked the door.
"Tell me, when did it happen?"
Jiang Cha stood in front of Ye Surong with his head down, nervously picking his fingers with his hands.
"Before coming...to the capital."
"Isn't your partner Dada?"
A rare hint of sternness appeared on Ye Surong's usually gentle face.
"Cha Cha, after the New Year, you'll be twenty. I hope you'll be someone who takes relationships seriously and responsibly. I can't accept your behavior."
Playing two games at the same time is even more unacceptable to Ye Surong than the fact that she is dating Huo Jingchuan.
This is a character issue.
"Before... Big Brother rejected me, so he asked Dada to pretend to be my boyfriend."
Jiang Cha raised her head suddenly: "I absolutely, absolutely, have never deceived anyone's feelings. Mom, can you... not hate me?"
"So, it was you who took the initiative to find Huo Jingchuan?"
Jiang Cha bit her lips, as if she had made up her mind.
"Yes, it was me who kept pestering Big Brother. This whole thing, from beginning to end, was my fault alone."
"So you asked Dada to act out this drama to make Jingchuan jealous?"
"no."
Jiang Cha quickly denied it, "He rejected me, very decisively. I was worried that I would embarrass him after I came back, so I asked Dada to act!"
"No wonder you suddenly decided to stay with your grandfather for two months. So, it was because of this?"
Ye Surong wished she could knock open Jiang Cha's head to see what was inside.
"Such a big thing, and you actually hid it from me? Jiang Cha, do you really think of me as your mother?"
Jiang Cha knelt in front of Ye Surong, with his hands on her knees, "Mom, I'm just afraid you'll be angry when you know..."
"You knew I would be angry, so why did you insist on being with him?"
Ye Surong was so angry that her head felt dizzy.
"Jiang Cha, from childhood to adulthood, you have always been the most sensible and docile one!"
She never thought that Jiang Cha would do such a rebellious thing.
"Do you know who you are?"
"I know, that's why I didn't dare tell you!"
Jiang Cha looked up at Ye Surong, tears falling from her eyes.
"But mom, I finally met someone I like, and I want to give it a try. What if, by some chance, we have a good relationship?"
"I know Jingchuan is a good person, handsome, capable, and he's been incredibly good to you, but we are a family, and family members are different from outsiders."
Ye Surong helped Jiang Cha up and said, "If you are really dating Dada, and one day you decide you two are not suitable and want to break up, just do it directly."
"But Jingchuan is different. What if one day you suddenly realize that being siblings and being lovers are two completely different concepts? What if this relationship doesn't meet your expectations and you want to separate? You can't just forget each other and never see each other again."
"Do you want Uncle Huo to have one less son, or do you want me to not have a daughter like you? The consequences are too serious!"
"You really... can't accept this at all?"
Jiang Cha's voice trembled as he clutched the corner of Ye Surong's clothes, looking more pitiful than ever before.
Ye Surong did not answer this question.
"This matter is too sudden. You have to let me think about it."
She really needs to think about this carefully.
A big part of the reason why Ye Surong agreed to cooperate with Zhang Keda in the medicinal skin care products business was because of ginger tea.
She thought Zhang Keda was Jiang Cha's partner.
Sooner or later they will become a family. Besides, Zhang Keda grew up under her care, so she considered it over and over again. Only when she felt that this matter was feasible did she agree to cooperate with Zhang Keda.
But now...
Jiang Cha really dropped a bomb on her.
She has to think carefully before making a decision.
I didn't sleep well all night because of ginger tea.
She felt uneasy until Ye Surong gave her accurate answer.
In Beijing, many people heard that Huo Tingkun had come here and came to pay New Year's greetings.
The house is bustling every day. Ye Surong and Jiang Cha are busy cooking, and the Huo father and son are busy entertaining guests.
Jiang Cha's thoughts were left unresolved until the eighth day of the first lunar month.
Huo Jingchuan drove Huo Jingye to the station.
The whole family followed.
Huo Tingkun went to the army today to handle the employment procedures here.
The longer the time dragged on, the more uneasy Jiang Cha became.
After returning home, Huo Jingchuan received an urgent task and needed to be away for about half a month.
Jiang Cha actually wanted to give him some good advice, but she didn't dare to do so in front of Ye Surong.
These days, Jiang Cha has been deliberately avoiding contact with Huo Jingchuan.
Huo Jingchuan had sensed this, and he had always wanted to find some time to have a good chat with Jiang Cha.
After accepting the task, he only had half an hour to pack things up.
This mission was his first solo mission since arriving in the capital. Time was tight, so Huo Jingchuan could only take advantage of Ye Surong collecting his clothes to tell Jiang Cha, "Wait for me to come back."
These four words almost made Jiang Cha cry.
She held back her tears and curled the corners of her lips, "Okay, you must come back safely, and wear the medicine bag around your neck. Never take it off. Got it?"
Jiang Cha put a life-saving pill sealed with wax into the medicine bag.
"Well, I carry it with me all the time. I never dare leave it for a moment."
Last time, if it weren't for this medicine, he might not have come back alive.
"Jingchuan, your clothes are all here. Is there anything else you need to prepare?"
"No need, Aunt Ye, these are enough."
Huo Jingchuan stuffed his clothes into the bag and then put the bag on his shoulder.
"Bring some more food."
Jiang Cha turned around and went back to his room and took out a big bag of food.
Stuffed it into Huo Jingchuan's hands.
Huo Jingchuan knew that she was reluctant to let him go on a long journey, so he didn't refuse and accepted it with a smile.
"Don't worry, I am confident that I can successfully complete this mission."
He seemed to be speaking to two people, but in fact, his gaze had never left Jiang Cha.
