Sure enough, after a moment of stunned silence, the leopard burst into laughter.
"I don't have a girlfriend. I wasn't like this before. I was just a lackey. What woman would be interested in me? Now I'm leading a bunch of brothers, and I'm already worried enough about their marriage prospects..."
Leopard waved his hand, slicing through a large group of people, all of whom were from Yinghao Pavilion. Yinghao Pavilion members made up the majority of today's gathering.
They had all come over and greeted Jiang's mother to some extent before, and now they were all busy cooking and doing other things. Looking at them, Jiang's mother could hardly tell that there were any women around; there were indeed more men than women.
This really worried Jiang's mother.
"Oh my, really. But you guys need to start thinking about finding partners too! You can't live without women, and you're pretty good too. Don't think so badly of yourself. There are definitely plenty of girls who like you."
"Thank you for your kind words, Auntie. I'll definitely find one soon." The leopard was very obedient.
Jiang's mother liked his obedient manner, but the live stream audience was already laughing.
[This is a slap on the wrist! Leopard is definitely just giving me the runaround.]
[I really like Leopard Lord, Leopard Lord, look over here, look at me!]
Let Mom see me, and let her introduce me to Leopard.
Putting everything else aside, anyone who follows the miracle doctor is bound to be right. I'm blindly voting for Leopard Master.
This is so much fun! The atmosphere is amazing! If it keeps going like this, I could watch it forever.
When Jiang's mother turned her head, she realized that she had overlooked Shen Ru, who had been right beside her. She didn't seem to have heard that Shen Ru had a boyfriend. Her past experiences were not pleasant, and if she were to look forward, she would definitely need to find a boyfriend.
“Chen Ru, what about you? You and Jiang Yan are about the same age, right? Look, Jiang Yan's situation is pretty much settled, you should find someone too…”
[Mom always has so many worries.]
That's how the older generation is; they treat everyone like their own children. My mother is such a kind person. But Shen Ru's words... emmmmm.
[What happened before is in the past, so let's not bring it up again. Shen Ru has been doing a really good job lately, helping the streamer with company matters. She deserves better.]
Yes, it's good to admit your mistakes and correct them. I hope Ms. Shenru can get over this soon.
I don't know what her plans are for the future, but she probably won't go down the same old path again.
Faced with Jiang's mother's question, Shen Ru was at a loss for how to answer.
She used to think that since she worked in a big city as a white-collar worker, she would be able to find a decent boyfriend who would make her feel proud to be out with him. She wasn't worried about not finding one yet, since she was still young and didn't bother to choose more options.
Having gone through so much, including life and death, her thinking has undergone a significant change, and she has been reflecting a lot these past few days.
Fortunately, Jiang Yan's appearance changed the subject in time, so Shen Ru didn't feel so embarrassed.
"Mom, you two seem to be having a good chat. I'm listening. You're even gossiping?" Jiang Yan said as she wiped her hands and walked over.
Jiang's mother was indeed in a good mood. When she saw Jiang Yan, she asked with concern how the meal preparation was going.
"That's about it, we can eat in another hour... Mom, do you want to go back to your room and rest for a bit?" Jiang Yan was more worried about her health.
Zhao Yunfei stood up and said, "Auntie, go and rest. I'll come and check you out in a bit. Talking for so long must have taken a toll on your energy."
Although Jiang's mother didn't feel anything, she still followed the doctor's advice.
Wang Hao and Zhao Yunfei escorted Jiang's mother upstairs to rest, and then took charge of the inspection.
Leopard turned to look for Zhou Xu and the others, leaving only Shen Ru sitting on the sofa.
Jiang Yan looked at her for a while, but their eyes did not meet. Jiang Yan then turned to leave, when Shen Ru suddenly called out to her.
"Yan Yan, I want to go back to my hometown." Shen Ru said this out of the blue.
When I was little, I would instinctively turn to my parents whenever something happened, because I knew they were my support and home was my warmest harbor.
Even after growing up, this feeling still exists, and Shen Ru is no exception, even though she is in her twenties.
Her decision was understandable, not only to Jiang Yan but also to the viewers in the live stream.
While some might say things like, "What a pity, you could have developed if you stayed," "You must have been scared," or "You have to go home every time something happens, is it really necessary?", it's just talk.
"Hmm," Jiang Yan responded, offering no further comment.
Shen Ru didn't say anything more and got up to help Jiang Yan and the others with their tasks.
Many things are things you've already imagined in your mind, but when they actually happen, you're still amazed.
For Shen Ru, this was exactly what Chu Wei's death meant.
She didn't know how to describe that feeling.
Chu Wei clearly had little to do with Han Mingrui's death. It was she, Shen Ru, who really shot Han Mingrui. It was also she who, for her own selfish desires, cooperated with Qi Wei, which led to the series of events that followed...
But she is still alive.
Shen Ru didn't know if this feeling was guilt or remorse, but in any case, she felt that she should no longer live in Yuzhou.
She doesn't deserve it.
Things in the city are ultimately complicated, and after experiencing so much, she was tired.
She had been thinking about going back to her hometown before, and after seeing Jiang's mother today, she became even more determined to go home.
Her family was almost poisoned by Han Mingrui because of her. During this time, although she talked to her family on the phone, it was never as wonderful as seeing them with her own eyes, touching them, and embracing them.
Moreover, she won't be useless after returning to her hometown; there are jobs there, and she'll definitely be able to find one that suits her.
She doesn't have a boyfriend yet; she needs to find a suitable person to settle down with, get married, and have children...
More importantly, Shen Ru was very clear that whatever kind of life she would have in the future would be given to her by Qin Yiheng and Jiang Yan through their hard work, so she was unwilling to let them down, and even less willing to stay in Yuzhou in case she became someone's weapon against them.
Jiang Yan clearly understood her thoughts, so...
The kitchen in the villa wasn't very big, but it was more than enough for three or four people to work in.
Jiang Yan was right beside her. The two discussed and coordinated their cooking, and it felt wonderful.
For Shen Ru—that's enough!
When it was time for dinner, Jiang's mother, having rested, came downstairs and sat in the main seat, next to Qin Yiheng and Jiang Yan. Everyone sat down in order of their status.
