Zhou Fang gently wiped away my tears, helped me up, and took the child over.
"You are allowed to cry for two minutes. Any more will hurt your eyes."
I reached out and hugged him, rubbing his shoulder, "Don't cry."
Zhou Fang patted my back and whispered to me from the side: "Help Mom up."
I let go of him and turned around. When I bent down, my mother was turning over the wine glass.
The wine in the glass formed a wet straight line on the ground.
My mother opened her mouth but said nothing.
I saw her trying to get up and reached out to help her.
She waved her hand and said, "You talk to your grandma again, I'll go down first."
I still held her, "I'm done, let's go home together."
The corners of my mother's lips twitched slightly, and I took her arm and walked slowly downstairs.
Zhou Fang followed behind with the child in her arms.
After returning to Lijingyuan, he did not go to the company, but went to the kitchen to cook.
"Aruan, talk to Mom."
I know Zhou Fang stayed at home to cook because she wanted to ease my and my mother's mood.
He always knew in his heart that my mother and I had been blaming ourselves.
Even if it seems that nothing is wrong at ordinary times, it seems that you have let it go.
But whenever I mention my grandma, that feeling of guilt starts to build up.
After seeing grandma, reach the top.
I always wonder if the accident wouldn't have happened if there hadn't been a banquet, or if Jiang Chuxia hadn't been given the opportunity to take advantage of it.
Afterwards, this series of events would not have happened.
"mom……"
I sat next to my mother, and for some reason, we both looked at Sui Sui in the crib.
No one spoke for a long time.
When Zhou Fang went out to serve the dishes, he glanced at us.
I met his gaze and he raised his eyebrows slightly at me.
The haze in my heart magically dissipated for the most part.
I turned to look at my mother and said, "Mom, let's remove the shackles that have been tied to us."
My mother poked Shushu's face. The little girl didn't understand much yet, so she smiled at her with her saliva dripping from her mouth.
She also smiled, held my hand and said, "Okay, Mom wants to live a healthy life, watch you and Zhou Fang be happy, and watch Sui Sui grow up."
"If possible, I can also watch Sui Sui find her own happiness."
At this point, I suddenly had an idea, "Mom, you're free now, why don't you try dating?"
My mother poked me on the forehead and said, "What are you thinking about? Do you think I'm just like you kids? And I'm still in love."
"Why not?" I said, "As long as you want, you can fall in love at any age."
My mother shook her head and said, "I've been used to being alone for so many years. I don't want anyone to disrupt my current rhythm of life."
I won't force it, but I can do something.
After dinner, my mother took Sui Sui out for a walk, and Zhou Fang and I cleared the table.
I mentioned this while putting pots and pans into the dishwasher.
Zhou Fang closed the dishwasher, pressed the start button, and came out of the kitchen with his arm around me.
It wasn't until they reached the bedroom that he spoke: "Your idea is a good one. If Mom falls in love, it will always divert some of her attention and prevent her from being trapped all the time."
"But it's still difficult to implement this approach."
"You can't force Mom to have a relationship."
"Over the years, there haven't been any scandals, nor have I heard of any ambiguous relationships with anyone."
But I thought of someone, "You know Emperor Xiao, right?"
Zhou Fang nodded. "I've heard a little bit about it. It seems like I've been working with Mom for half my life."
"Yes, and he never responded to the rumors about him and my mom, but he has clarified other rumors. Marrying and having children at this age doesn't mean there's something wrong, but it means he's waiting for someone to open up."
Zhou Fang pinched my cheek and said, "I didn't notice. You're quite understanding."
I also heard it all from Jiang Lai.
At that time, we didn't know that my mother was my biological mother.
Jiang Lai is a fan, likes gossip, and always talks to me.
When we talked about my mother and Mr. Xiao, we never thought that one day the real person would have something to do with us.
"I think I can find an opportunity to try it."
Zhou Fang hummed, "Then you go and make arrangements with Jiang Lai. I won't get involved in this matter. If there's anything you really can't resolve, tell me."
I hugged her, "Zhou Fang, thank you."
I know he also wants me to stop trapping myself.
Zhou Fang hugged me and lay down, the corners of his lips curled slightly, "Thank you with something practical."
“…”
…
I asked Jiang Lai out the next day.
Of course, I didn't get up until noon.
I told my mother that I would not be home for dinner and hurried out.
As soon as I went downstairs, I saw Jiang Lai standing by the car.
She also saw me and opened the back door for me.
I was puzzled: "Why?"
She pushed me in, and then I realized there was someone in the passenger seat.
The man greeted me warmly, "Hello, sister."
“…”
I looked at Jiang Lai: What do you mean?
Jiang Lai lifted her hair and introduced me: "Ji Jiamu."
“…”
I smiled and nodded as a greeting, then whispered to Jiang Lai, "Are you new here, friend?"
Jiang Lai smiled brightly, "I'm new to flirting with my little brother."
“…”
I asked Jiang Lai at the end of the meeting that day.
Jiang Lai said that if it wasn't for Zhou Fang proposing to me, even one look at Chi Zhan would be too much.
But Jiang Lai and I have been friends for so many years, and I can tell that she hasn't completely let it go.
However, I have no intention of helping them resolve the misunderstanding.
Because Chi Zhan is not very likable when doing bad things.
If you want to be with Jiang Lai, you have to make him suffer a little.
"That's fine, as long as you're happy."
Jiang Lai winked at me. "What a coincidence! You told me you wanted to bring Aunt Shu and Actor Xiao together, and he's actually in the same crew as Actor Xiao."
I was surprised, “He’s an actor?”
“I haven’t graduated yet.”
Jiang Lai said, "It just so happens that I have an opportunity to join the team. It can be considered as the beginning of my internship."
Although this world is said to be big, it is actually small.
I chuckled, "That's quite a coincidence."
…
We stopped by an offline store on the way.
I have to say, this world is small and scary.
This is what I sighed silently in my heart when I saw Chi Zhan at the door of the store.
What's more coincidental is that Ji Jiamu just bought Jiang Lai her favorite iced coffee.
Jiang Lai didn't know what message he was replying to, and he was frantically pressing the screen with both hands.
Ji Jiamu opened the coffee cup and fed Jiang Lai.
Jiang Lai took a sip, turned around and smiled at him, "You're so good."
“…”
Jiang Lai can ignore Chi Zhan, but when I see him, I still have to say hello.
It's one thing not to like the things he did, but he also put a lot of effort into helping me.
"Mr. Chi."
Chi Zhan withdrew his gaze from Jiang Lai and responded to me.
Although his voice was a little light, I could tell that he was polite to me.
"Well, you and your friends are here shopping?"
“…”
I kept a polite smile and said, "Come to the store to look around and do some shopping."
As soon as I finished speaking, a gentle female voice sounded.
"A Zhan."
