Looking at the delicate little baby, I suddenly realized that my previous attempt to correct the way he addressed me was completely unnecessary.
In fact, it backfired.
Just considering the relationship with the Jiang family, Zhou Zhou was right when she called me "sister" at first.
In terms of seniority, I am really his cousin. Realizing this, I was a little amused and confused.
Zhou Zhou was a real social butterfly. She looked up at Jiang Yunshu and called out in a soft and cute voice, "Auntie!"
“Yeah.”
Jiang Yunshu responded and patted his head. After Zhou Zhou went to the toy room, he said to Zhou Qing, "Although the child's surname is Jiang, he looks more like you and has a much more likable personality."
The implication is that Jiang Yuheng, or the Jiang family, is not likable.
Zhou Qing wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, she felt like she'd met a kindred spirit, and naturally became intimate with him. "Sister Yunshu, great minds think alike! Jiang Yuheng's personality is truly like a newly unearthed artifact from the Qing Dynasty. I can't even imagine what I'd do if Zhou Zhou had his personality!"
Jiang Yunshu chuckled, probably because he understood the Jiang family's situation, and teased, "Will you remarry him?"
"Won't!"
Zhou Qing was firm and decisive. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he was also a little angry. He complained, "Being with him, I don't feel free at all, and he always distrusts me."
Jiang Yunshu asked, "Why don't I trust you?"
"At once……"
Zhou Qing, a mature woman, touched her nose awkwardly in front of Jiang Yunshu. "It's about the company. Sometimes he works in the study. When I go in to give him some fruit, he always puts the documents away."
"I also know that I shouldn't interfere with his work. I don't mean to interfere, but I just don't like the feeling of being guarded."
"It's as if I would sell out the Jiang family's business secrets."
Maybe because we are both women, I immediately got her point.
It's not comfortable to be guarded against by your partner, no matter what the reason.
In this regard, Zhou Fang is the complete opposite.
He's been bringing work to my place lately, occupying my desk and mixing the documents with my manuscripts.
I emphasized several times to him to keep them separate so that I wouldn't see anything I shouldn't see when I was looking for the manuscript.
He glared at me frivolously, "I'm even yours, what else should you not see?"
…
However, I know that Jiang Yuheng’s situation and personality are completely different from Zhou Fang’s.
Jiang Yunshu poured her a cup of tea and asked, "Xiao Qing, is this the reason you divorced him?"
Zhou Qing, "That's not the case. This is just one of the reasons."
"That's it."
Jiang Yunshu raised his eyebrows. "The environment he grew up in was too bad. If someone else did it, they would definitely be able to do better than him."
Zhou Qing frowned, "Bad?"
"Um."
Jiang Yunshu nodded, a little melancholy in his eyes. "He's my parents' late-born son. They love him from the bottom of their hearts and have high hopes for him. From the age of three or four, he's been raised under these strict requirements, with almost no childhood memories."
"He carries the fate of the Jiang family on his shoulders, so he's used to calculating every step precisely and won't allow himself to make any mistakes."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing and I were stunned for a moment.
Apparently, Jiang Yuheng had never mentioned this to Zhou Qing. Zhou Qing was a little stunned. "He never mentioned this to me."
Immediately, she looked at Jiang Yunshu with some surprise, "Sister Yunshu, why would you... speak for him? I thought you didn't like him."
Jiang Yunshu smiled and said, "He was the only one in the Jiang family who stood up for me when something happened to me."
"What's going on..."
Zhou Qing was halfway through asking when he realized that he and Jiang Yunshu weren't close enough to ask about her privacy, so he quickly changed the subject, "Then that day when he went to Yuncheng..."
Jiang Yunshu, "Why didn't I let him in?"
Zhou Qing was surprised, "Yeah."
Jiang Yunshu answered simply, "If he gets too close to me, it will only cause trouble."
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Jiang Yuheng would be very happy if he knew that you were thinking about him."
Then he suddenly realized what was going on and looked at Jiang Yunshu with some embarrassment, "Sister Yunshu, did you come here today to order a dress from Nanzhi? Am I disturbing you?"
"do not bother."
Jiang Yunshu smiled and held my hand, "I'm not here to order a dress either."
Zhou Qing, "What is that?"
"Ask Zhizhi."
Jiang Yunshu checked the time, stood up, and explained to me, "Zhizhi, I have a dinner appointment with the brand. Do you want to come?"
"I, I won't go."
Originally, when she helped me to make connections, I always responded in a worldly way.
Now it has suddenly become my... mother, I am still a little bit unable to adapt.
She didn't force it, but only asked tentatively: "Then for the celebration banquet tomorrow, I'll have Sister Jing come and pick you up to go to Yuncheng, okay?"
Sister Jing is the person she trusts most.
Sister Jing came to pick me up, and then we set off from Yuncheng to the celebration banquet.
This means that she wants to reveal my background and is now asking for my consent.
I pursed my lips and nodded, "Tuo."
I walked her to the elevator, and as we were about to say goodbye, I called out, "Mom, be careful."
Jiang Yunshu was startled. He took back his foot as he had just stepped into the elevator. He turned around in disbelief, his eyes moist, "You, you..."
Ever since my adoptive parents passed away, I have found it difficult to call her "Mom". When I first thought that Su Wanyu might be my mother, I thought about it many times and wondered if I could call her "Mom".
The answer is no. At that time, I just thought that this name was too unfamiliar to me...
I was a little stunned when I heard him call out so suddenly.
Jiang Yunshu couldn't utter a complete sentence before hugging me in his arms again.
Feeling her sobs, I reached out and patted her back, holding back my tears and smiling, "When I lost the jade pendant, I thought I would never find you again."
"Silly talk."
Jiang Yunshu let me go, gave me a glare, and then said as if to assure me, "Zhizhi, if you encounter anything in the future, you will always have your mother."
Perhaps my change of heart reassured her. She glanced at Fang Qie at the door and asked, "After the celebration party is over, do you want to move to Yuncheng and live with me?"
"I……"
I hesitated. "Can I think about it for a moment?"
"sure."
Jiang Yunshu didn't act too hastily. From the way she treated Jiang Chuxia before, it could be seen that she was a caring mother.
The elevator was about to close, and I didn't want her to miss her social engagements because of me, so I hurriedly said, "Let's go! This area will be very congested during the evening rush hour."
"That……"
Jiang Yunshu took a deep breath and said, "If you have any problems, call your mother immediately."
…
When the elevator door closed, I turned around and saw Zhou Qing's shocked expression.
She was still a little dazed.
I waved my hand in front of her eyes, and she came back to her senses. She looked at me in surprise and doubt, "Just now, Sister Yunshu said she was someone to you?"
I hesitated, "...Mom?"
"Sister Yunshu likes you so much that she adopted you as her goddaughter?"
"no."
I smiled, feeling like I was dreaming. "It's my biological mother. I was quite surprised too."
Until now, I still haven't fully digested this matter.
Zhou Qing was stunned, "..."
After I walked to the living room and sat down, she slammed the door shut and hurried over. "What do you mean? You mean you're my ex-husband's niece, and my cousin has to call my ex-husband 'uncle'?"
“…”
I haven't had time to think about this, but now when I hear her say it, it feels like a tongue twister.
I combed my hair carefully and looked at her approvingly, "You're right."
"That……"
Zhou Qing suddenly laughed, "I'm Zhou Fang's elder now? Okay, it seems that just for this reason, I have to consider remarrying Jiang Yuheng."
“…”
What's going on in the Zhou family?
Before I could reply, Zhou Qing pulled out his phone and made a call, jokingly saying, "Nephew-in-law, can you please call me 'Auntie' and let me have some fun?"
