When I got home, I took advantage of Jiang Lai and Ji Jiamu's conversation to bring up Xiao Lan, hoping to indirectly find out whether my mother really liked him now.
My mother understood, "You want me to talk to Xiao Lan and help this junior, right?"
"So is Jiang Lai serious about him? Is she completely done with Chi Zhan?"
Although my mother is old, she has learned a lot of new things.
I couldn't help laughing and shook my head, "No, I'm not sure."
I changed the subject. "Zhou Fang and I have discussed a less ostentatious wedding, like an engagement, where we can just invite our friends and family. What do you think?"
My mother nodded and said, "It's your wedding, do whatever you want, I'll cooperate."
"Then can I invite Mr. Xiao? I remember you and him had a single, it's very sweet, especially suitable for a wedding."
My mother is of this age and has been in the mixed entertainment industry for so long.
At first she thought I was just having a heart-to-heart talk with her, but when I said that, she immediately understood what I meant.
"You just asked me if I liked anyone, and then mentioned Xiao Lan. It seems like you want to bring us together?"
I coughed lightly. "Not really. I just happened to hear that he saved you at that banquet, so I thought since we're related, I'd invite him over to share in the good fortune."
"Maybe his love has come too."
Xiao Lan has always been single, unmarried and childless. Apart from the many scandals with Zao Ah, he is a very clean person.
He is rare in the entertainment industry and is a rare species. Many girls try to get close to him through various opportunities.
"So you want to find him a partner."
My mother nodded my forehead and said, "Okay, if that's the case, you go ahead."
"I'll also show you someone of suitable age, and then invite someone to entertain you."
“…”
That's not what I meant at all, but I also knew that my mother was trying to cover it up by pretending to be stupid.
I smiled and said, "Mom, when the time comes, you and Mr. Xiao can recreate the classic dance clips from your movies to make a great addition to my wedding, okay?"
Defeat magic with magic.
My mother's smile faded and she raised an eyebrow. "Okay, you're trying to trick your mother, right?"
I took her arm and said, "Then tell me the truth, do you like it?"
My mother sighed, "If I say I don't like you, will you believe me?"
I immediately replied, "I believe it. If you say so, I will believe it."
"You."
Jiang Yunshu laughed helplessly, "I just don't believe it."
I said, "Really? As long as you say it, I'll believe it. If you say you don't like it, then I'll give up on trying to match you two up."
My mom thought for a moment and then spoke slowly, "Sometimes we think being friends is a good fit, but if we really become lovers, what if our personalities aren't compatible and we break up? Then those decades-long friendships won't be possible anymore, which is a shame."
I was a little surprised. "You and Uncle Xiao speak the same language. It seems he knows you very well."
"Okay."
My mother surrendered, "I admit defeat, you are so determined."
"I just think Uncle Xiao's personality is such that he wouldn't be incompatible with you."
My mother finally compromised and said, "Invite him to your wedding. You make the arrangements and I'll cooperate."
"If you see with your own eyes that it's not working, just give up, okay?"
I held out my hand in assurance, "Okay."
I fed the baby at night and went back to the room to talk to Zhou Fang.
Zhou Fang wiped his hair casually twice, sat down on the sofa, stretched out his long arms, and hugged me in his arms.
"Very happy?"
I nodded. “I’m very happy.”
If my mother is interested in Xiao Lan, it would be a good thing to promote a relationship between them.
It is a great regret for lovers to miss each other.
Zhou Fang patted my head and said, "I have something to tell you."
"Chi Zhan, right?"
I came out of Zhou Fang's arms, crossed my arms and looked at him with a serious expression, "Are you trying to turn me against you?"
Zhou Fang chuckled, "Of course not, I firmly stand on your side."
But he changed the subject and said, "But Chi Zhan begged me."
“…”
I asked, "How did he beg you?"
Zhou Fang: "Beg with your mouth."
“…”
I glanced at him and said, "You have grasped the essence of nonsense literature."
Zhou Fang laughed out loud and raised his hand to hug me again.
"You don't know him. He can say the word 'please', and he really means it."
I reached out and poked Zhou Fang's hard chest. "Instead of begging you, he should go talk to Jiang Lai, apologize, and tell her the truth."
"If Jiang Lai is sincere, she will forgive him."
There was no deep blood feud between them.
etc!
I pushed Zhou Fang away and said, "If Chi Zhan, that white moonlight, can't handle it, I definitely won't say a good word for him."
Zhou Fang picked me up horizontally, threw me onto the bed, and pressed forward.
"He begged me, but I didn't ask for help."
"I'm just telling you."
"Let them solve their own problems. They are not three-year-old children anymore."
"We should spend our time on important matters."
"Don't let these things waste your time."
I opened my mouth to speak, but gave him my chance.
What could he say in the end? All he could hum were fragmented syllables.
…
Jiang Lai was busy looking for a suitable place to hold a Chinese-style wedding.
During the break, I saw Liu Chen’s circle of friends.
[Our family never gets sick all year round, Chi Zhan. This time, he's been sick for almost half a month and still hasn't recovered. It's worth commemorating.]
The picture he posted was of him and Chi Zhan, but Jiang Lai was sharp-eyed enough to notice a section of the white skirt.
Oh.
She directly blocked Liu Chen's circle of friends.
I got up, opened a bottle of wine, took it to the balcony and looked at the night view.
She didn't hear her cell phone ringing until she finished her drink and woke up to find out that there was a call.
After glancing at the note, she dialed the number.
"elder sister……"
Ji Jiamu's pitiful voice came over, but Jiang Lai was patient and coaxed him, lowering her tone, "Who bullied our brother? Sister will help you vent your anger."
Ji Jiamu sniffed, "You didn't even answer my calls."
"Something happened just now."
Jiang Lai collapsed on the sofa. "What's the matter with you? Why are you calling me so many times?"
"I was worried you were hungry, so I brought you some food, but I don't know exactly where you live..."
Jiang Lai got up from the sofa again. As she put on her clothes, she asked, "Where are you now?"
Ji Jiamu: "At the entrance of your community."
"I'll be right there."
Jiang Lai kicked off her slippers, put on a pair of casual shoes, and hurried to the entrance of the community.
She saw Ji Jiamu standing in the cold wind with things in both hands. He looked pitiful, like a puppy abandoned by his parents, but he would still wait obediently there for his parents to take him home.
