Chapter 56 Are you protecting her?
Cen Nian didn’t know what they talked about, but he knew that when Fang Ting came back, she didn’t mention asking Cen Nian to repay her kindness.
Cen Ao was a little dissatisfied, but was suppressed by Fang Ting.
"Mom, why are you stopping me? Do you know what that stupid guy said about me?"
Fang Ting advised him, "Forget it. Why bother with people like them?"
Cen Ao: "I'm too lazy to argue with him." He smiled and climbed onto Fang Ting's hand: "Mom, the shoes that guy was wearing just now cost several thousand yuan. They're the pair I told you about before. Anyway, we're here for a trip, and Jiang City has some in stock. You can buy me a pair."
Fang Ting didn't say anything.
"Mom, please buy me a pair. I promise to study hard when I get home."
"Okay, okay, buy, buy, buy."

Cen Nian hesitated to speak, but finally couldn't help asking, "What did you say to my aunt?"
Jin Siyang picked up a few bags of snacks and threw them into the shopping cart: "I didn't say anything, just told her to be careful."
"Is this okay?" Cen Nian was a little puzzled: "Thank you." He was made a fool of himself again.
"You are indeed easy to bully like this." Jin Siyang said silently: "Can you be a little more aggressive?"
“Actually, I’m quite fierce.”
Jin Siyang looked at her glaring at him and saying that he was very fierce, and he obviously didn't believe it.

The New Year is approaching quietly. Jin Jingming is expanding his business in the United States this year and cannot even make it back for New Year's Eve.
Uncle Li and Aunt Liu felt sorry for their two children, so they prepared a New Year's Eve dinner and put the prepared dishes in the refrigerator before returning to their hometown.
The liveliness of other families was different from that of the Jin family. Jin Siyang played two games while Cen Nian sat on the sofa watching a movie. The two did not disturb each other, but they had an indescribable tacit understanding in the same space.
A ringtone rang, Jin Siyang stood up, walked over and answered it: "Hello, grandma."
"Well, he's in the US and can't come back."
"No need, grandma. Aunt Liu prepared the New Year's Eve dinner."
"I'm not alone."
I didn't know what the other end was saying. After two minutes, Jin Siyang said, "I understand."
He held the phone, not knowing how to start. Cen Nian looked up and asked, "Are you going out?"
"Well, grandma asked me to come over for the New Year's Eve dinner."
Cen Nian nodded: "Yeah, go ahead."
Jin Siyang was silent for a few seconds: "Otherwise, you..."
The words were never spoken.
"What's wrong?" Cen Nian asked him puzzledly: "You don't want me to go with you, do you? I'd rather not go. We don't know each other here, and it would be so embarrassing. Besides, this is the New Year's Eve dinner, a day for family reunion." It wouldn't be good for her to go.
"If you're scared, turn on all the lights in the house," Jin Siyang instructed.
Cen Nian waved his hand: "Don't worry!"

Cen Nian turned on the TV. She filled a bowl of rice and brought some dishes and sat in front of the TV. The Spring Festival Gala officially began.
When Jin Siyang arrived at the Si family, the old man and the old lady grabbed him and wouldn't let go, their eyes almost overflowing with love.
He is even more concerned when eating.
"Si Yang, eat more meat. This is your favorite. Grandma made it herself. You loved it most when you were a child."
"Thank you, grandma."
The old man wanted to put all the delicious food in front of his grandson: "And this, grandpa bought it long ago, and I'm looking forward to your coming."
The meal was a joyful one.
Si Man's mood was relatively stable. After dinner, Jin Siyang helped Si Man back to her room: "Mom, you take a rest for a while."
Si Man suddenly grabbed his hand: "Is your father in America?"
"Um."
"He came over right after I returned to China, Si Yang, your father doesn't want to see me, right?"
Jin Siyang's voice was very soft. He patted Si Man's back and said, "Mom, don't think too much. He has been abroad for the past few months. He didn't come here suddenly."
"He just doesn't want to see me." Si Man couldn't help feeling sad. Jin Siyang sometimes didn't understand.
I don't understand what they call love.
There is someone living in Jin Jingming's heart, but Si Man can't help loving him.
Despite this, I still love him.
Si Man suddenly grabbed Jin Siyang's hand: "Is that woman's child over there?"
Jin Siyang's silence said it all.
Si Man suddenly became excited: "Si Yang, I want to see her. You take mom to see her. Right now, I want to see her!"
"I want to see how much she resembles her mother. Is that why your father is worried about her?"
Jin Si raised his hand and suddenly froze, his eyes flickering: "Mom, today is New Year's Eve, why make yourself unhappy."
"No, I want to see her, and I want to go now!"
His eyes flashed with panic, and he followed Si Man's coaxing: "Mom, can we go tomorrow?"
Jin Siyang's insistence on stopping her made Si Man realize something was wrong. She suddenly looked at her son, a hint of disbelief flashing in her eyes: "Siyang, you're stopping your mother?"
"Why are you stopping Mom?"
"No."
Si Man held his hand tightly, and said sharply: "You are protecting her, aren't you?!"
Jin Siyang lowered his eyes: "Mom."
"You are protecting her! Jin Siyang, you are my son!" Si Man glared angrily: "Are you protecting someone else?"
Guilt, pain, helplessness, several emotions tugged at Jin Siyang, and he was speechless. Si Man had a strong ability to observe, especially when it came to Jin Jingming's affairs.
"Mom." Jin Siyang's voice was a little hoarse: "I didn't protect her."
"Really?" Si Man seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw: "Don't lie to your mother."
"I didn't lie to you." Jin Siyang added, "I just wanted to make you happy."
Jin Siyang coaxed Si Man and finally calmed her down. He walked out of the room and a message popped up on his phone.
From Cen Nian.
[Jin Siyang, there's a lantern show in the neighborhood! It's so lively! And this place is so beautiful.]
[Jin Siyang, can I ask a question?]
The message came half an hour ago. Cen Nian said to himself, "Just... when are you coming back? I'm just curious, hahahaha, I won't bother you! Happy New Year in advance!"
