Chapter 153 Willing to Do It Myself
“When Tianle was in Gangcheng before, he was always depressed and rarely this happy.”
"There are so many books to read, so much homework to do, so many tasks to complete every day. Piano lessons, horseback riding, golf, and now Go lessons too. My child is really working too hard."
Lin Meiling came from an ordinary background, so she had no idea that children from wealthy families had such busy and arduous childhoods.
Seeing Lin Meiling's distress for her child, Fang Lanxin smiled gently: "Actually, I think what you said makes a lot of sense. There's no point in learning things you don't like. If the child doesn't like it, then so be it."
“Of course I’m willing, but Abang isn’t. He says our child has to be the best, no less than anyone else’s!”
“Mom, I feel so sorry for Tianle. You watched him grow up. He was born with a bad health condition, and I took care of him day and night. All my heart and soul are devoted to him. I don’t ask for anything else, I just want my child to be well and grow up safely. Even if he is just an ordinary person in the future, I will be willing. I just want him to be happy.”
As Lin Meiling spoke, tears began to fall from her eyes.
The reason she brought her child to see Fang Lanxin this time was because she felt the child was working too hard, so she made up this excuse to let the child relax.
"Tianle, come here!"
Fang Lanxin waved to Tianle, who then ran over and bumped into Fang Lanxin, hugging her tightly.
"Grandma!"
Tianle called out sweetly.
Fang Lanxin nodded and took a towel to wipe the sweat from Tianle's forehead.
"Honey, your mom said you've been working really hard lately, learning a lot of new things?"
Tianle looked at Lin Meiling, then nodded: "There are many, many things to learn, but Tianle doesn't find it hard. Tianle likes it very much. Grandma, my dad said that if you want to become an excellent person, you have to study. I like learning!"
Lin Meiling never expected that her child would think this way.
"Well done! That's the kind of child the Huo family should have!"
Fang Lanxin smiled gently and kissed Tianle.
“Meiling, we are both mothers, so I advise you that no matter how old or young your children are, we must learn to let go. As children grow up, they will inevitably drift further and further away from us. Even if we hold on tightly, we cannot stop them from moving forward.”
Fang Lanxin had learned her lesson, so she wanted to make Lin Meiling realize her mistake and not repeat it.
“Mom, I understand.”
"Mom, shall I cook you something delicious tonight? I'm really good at grilling!"
Lin Meiling stood up and looked at Fang Lanxin with a smug look.
"Ah Shuang, Ah Shuang!"
"Get the barbecue ready right away!"
Soon, Ah Shuang arrived with her people, having prepared the things they would need for the evening. Cheng Yan happily came over to unpack these things and helped skewer the meat. Lin Meiling watched her work quickly and efficiently, and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly: "You are really amazing."
"Young Madam is amazing! I never expected you to be so capable." Cheng Yan looked at Lin Meiling in disbelief: "Young Madam, you are truly incredible."
Since everyone is around the same age, they naturally have a lot to talk about when they get together.
After a long day, Guan Yu returned home to find everyone on the beach. He immediately perked up and rushed over to Fang Lanxin, asking, "Shall we have barbecue tonight?"
"Yeah, we were having barbecue tonight. Why are you only getting back now?" Fang Lanxin frowned as she looked at his dirty appearance and handed him a towel from the side: "Take a shower and clean yourself before you come back for dinner."
"Yes, I'll go right away!" Guan Yu made a face, then turned and walked inside.
The young people gathered together, creating a lively atmosphere. Someone started playing the guitar, and cheerful singing filled the air, captivating Fang Lanxin.
Fang Lanxin smiled gently, sat on a small stool with a skewer in her hand, and looked at these energetic young people. She felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. It's so good to be young, it's so good to be alive.
Guan Erye quickly washed himself clean, put on nice home clothes, and sat down next to Fang Lanxin. The pleasant scent of his shower gel made Fang Lanxin feel at ease.
Fang Lanxin leaned against him, handed him a skewer of meat, then touched his chin with the beer can in her hand, tilted her head back and took a sip.
"Look, isn't this life wonderful!"
"Doesn't it feel like we've gone back to twenty years ago, when we were in college?"
Fang Lanxin smiled and tilted her head to look at Guan Yu.
"I remember you were a cultured young man back then, you could play the piano and dance!"
"I can dance now!"
Guan Yu immediately stood up, grabbed Fang Lanxin's hand, and jumped up and down on the beach.
There were no lights, no high heels, just slippers on the beach, yet Fang Lanxin felt an unprecedented happiness and freedom.
At first, Lin Meiling didn't understand why Fang Lanxin was with Guan Erye, but now, seeing the two of them together, she suddenly understood. She realized that Fang Lanxin's demeanor was completely different only when she was with Guan Erye, like an innocent young girl.
Seeing Fang Lanxin like this, Lin Meiling smiled gently, feeling happy for Fang Lanxin as well.
The next morning, Lin Meiling took the children and returned to Gangcheng.
When Huo Qibang saw her return with the child, he smiled, walked over, picked up the child, and looked at Lin Meiling with some helplessness: "Why did you run away from home with the child?"
“I didn’t run away from home, I went to the fishing village to see my mother.”
"She's fine now, don't worry."
Lin Meiling smiled gently at Huo Qibang.
Huo Qibang, who had been relaxed, looked at Lin Meiling with curiosity after hearing this: "What did my mother say?"
She said she is very content with her life now and hopes you can rest assured.
“Abang, I think my mother is very happy to be with my second uncle, and we, as their children, should support her.”
Lin Meiling sat down holding the child and began to speak very seriously.
"I support it."
By this time, Huo Qibang had figured it out: Fang Lanxin was a living, breathing person who should have her own life, so Huo Qibang chose to respect that.
Hearing this, Lin Meiling smiled gently: "Your attitude now isn't support, it's not opposition. Support should be genuinely for Mom's happiness!"
“Uh…” Huo Qibang frowned: “Why do I feel like you’re starting to sound more and more like your mother?”
"Of course, we're all family, aren't we?" Lin Meiling smiled. "I'm like my mother, isn't that bad?"
