Chapter 402 If you want to stay with Yun Che for a long time, you must...
Lan Qiuling walked in, looked at her, and asked, "Did you just talk to Yun Che on the phone?"
"Yeah." Su Xiao admitted it.
Lan Qiuling's eyes dimmed slightly. After thinking for a while, she didn't say anything and started talking to her about other things.
Although Su Xiao still felt a little uncomfortable with her mother, she remembered her father's instructions and Zhao Yixuan's advice, so she listened to Lan Qiuling quietly. The atmosphere between them was no longer as confrontational as it was during the day.
Everyone was tired today, especially Lan Qiuling, whose beautiful, fair face was clearly tired. Su Xiao couldn't bear it and said, "I've taken note of everything you said. Go and get some rest."
Lan Qiuling naturally saw the concern in Su Xiao's eyes, and a special warmth immediately surged through her heart. She stared at Su Xiao for a while, then nodded, "You should get some rest early too."
After Lan Qiuling left, Su Xiao changed into pajamas, went to bed, hugged her daughter, and soon fell asleep.
The next day, Zhao Zhixun and Zhao Yixuan left home early because they had official business to attend to. Qu Si also had a meeting to attend and also left at 6:30.
Only Lan Qiuling accompanied Su Xiao and her daughter for breakfast.
Su Xiao filled the porridge for her daughter and started chatting with her mother, "What does my sister-in-law do?"
"She works for the vice president... and is the first secretary in the office."
Vice President...
Su Xiao couldn't help but think of the amiable yet decisive female official she had seen on the news. Qu Si was actually the first secretary there, which was really amazing.
Su Xiao hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Sister-in-law is so busy at work, when do they plan to have children? I think she likes children very much."
Lan Qiuling's eyes flashed and she looked at Su Xiao.
Su Xiao noticed her strangeness and couldn't help but show a little doubt.
At this time, Lan Qiuling said, "I think there should be a plan, but there is no rush. Don't interfere in their private affairs. Although you are her sister-in-law, you still have to be careful about some things. You can keep in touch with her, and if you don't understand anything at work, feel free to ask her for advice, but don't think about interfering in the private affairs of other couples, understand?"
"Oh, I, I understand. I won't do that." Su Xiao said quickly.
"I have an event to attend later, so I'll take you back." Lan Qiuling changed the subject.
"If you're busy, don't worry about me. I can take a taxi myself, or you can arrange a driver to take us back." Su Xiao declined.
But Lan Qiuling insisted on sending her, so Su Xiao no longer refused.
Shortly after breakfast, everyone set off.
Lan Qiuling changed into a beige chiffon silk long dress, which matched her temperament very well. She looked young, elegant and luxurious. Although she was Su Xiao's mother, she looked only ten years older than Su Xiao.
After Su Xiao got in the car, she still couldn't help but look at Lan Qiuling from time to time.
Lan Qiuling caught her scrutinizing gaze and couldn't help but ask, "Are you surprised? This all requires maintenance. If you don't have anything else to do, study this. You're still young now, but what about ten or twenty years from now? No matter how capable we are, we can't compete with time. All we can do is delay aging as much as possible and look youthful for as long as possible."
Time is merciless to beauties in their twilight years. Su Xiao recalled some stars and celebrities often mentioned on the Internet. They were really beautiful when they were young, and it was not an exaggeration to describe them as fairies. However, after they reached the age of forty or fifty, they no longer had the glory of their former years.
Therefore, Su Xiao still admired her biological mother from the bottom of her heart, and subconsciously said, "You are right, so my father loves you very much!"
Lan Qiuling was startled, a sweet smile unconcealed like a young girl's broke out on her face. "I don't deny that, but it's also something I earned through my own efforts. No one can understand the effort and energy I've put into this family. It's not difficult for a woman to want her husband's love, but to keep it forever, she has to work hard."
Su Xiao suddenly remembered that her grandmother had said that Lan Qiuling had had a hard time these years, and her father had also mentioned yesterday that she had suffered a lot.
Perhaps what she said was not an exaggeration. In this world, you can only gain what you give, and this is even more so in love and marriage. If two people want to get along for decades, it is far from enough to rely on temporary beauty and passion. It requires more long-lasting tacit understanding and empathy. During this period, they must rely on constant respect, understanding, accommodation, and adjustment.
"You are still young, and there are still many things you need to go through in terms of love. If you really want to be with Yun Che, relying on a temporary passion is useless. His future is destined to be difficult, and it will definitely be broader and more shocking than it is now. If you want to stay by his side for a long time and prevent him from being tempted by external factors, you must pay a lot. Just look at him and Yingying and you will know. Fortunately, you are back. I will teach you slowly in the future, so don't worry too much." Lan Qiuling suddenly spoke again.
Su Xiao looked at her and said with sincere gratitude, "Okay, thank you!"
Lan Qiuling smiled faintly and turned her attention to her granddaughter. Nini inherited Su Xiao's facial features, and she looked like Su Xiao at a young age, while Su Xiao inherited Lan Qiuling's looks. To some extent, this could be considered as inter-generational inheritance.
Looking at Nini's tiny appearance, Lan Qiuling seemed to see Su Xiao when she was little. Su Xiao left as soon as she was born, and she completely missed those years. Nini could make up for these shortcomings.
Therefore, Lan Qiuling likes Nini very much.
But Nini was not as enthusiastic as her.
Perhaps she also noticed from the beginning that her grandmother was unfriendly to her mother, so the little girl didn't like Lan Qiuling in her heart. At least not like Qu Si and Zhao Yixuan, and even Zhao Zhixun was quite nice to her. She just didn't like Lan Qiuling much.
Seeing her daughter's cold attitude, Su Xiao immediately taught her a lesson, "Nini, grandma is talking to you, why don't you respond to grandma?"
"Grandma is not nice to Mom. I don't want to be nice to someone who is not nice to Mom." The little girl actually said this.
Su Xiao immediately felt deeply embarrassed.
Lan Qiuling's fair and delicate face also changed color.
Su Xiao recovered and gently scolded Nini, "Don't think too much, grandma didn't treat mom badly."
"But……"
"Everyone has a different way of dealing with things. Mom is grandma's daughter, so grandma will of course treat her well. Just like you are her daughter, she loves you very much, and grandma will love her very much too. Do you understand?"
"Really?" The little girl opened her eyes wide, full of doubts.
"Of course." Su Xiao nodded affirmatively.
"Okay then, grandma, I hope you will love my mother well. I love my mother too. It has not been easy for my mother to raise us all these years. I want to protect her and not let her be bullied. I want her to be happy every day." Nini finally looked at Lan Qiuling and said to her seriously.
Lan Qiuling's body trembled slightly. She slowly reached out her hand and stroked the little girl's innocent face, then looked at Su Xiao deeply.
Su Xiao smiled back at her, her mood also fluctuating.
