Chapter 39 Miss Su, do you know my mother?
The jade Buddha is emerald green, clear, and has a warm, smooth feel. The Buddha's eyes are slightly closed, and his face is kind. The carving is lifelike.
Su Niannian has worn this jade Buddha since she was a child. It has been with her for a long time, and if it is not deliberately mentioned, she will not even notice its existence.
She looked down and examined it for a while.
"Really? Jade Buddhas obtained from temples all look pretty much the same. Maybe your grandmother's jade Buddha and mine were obtained from the same temple."
Xie Zhiyao stretched out his small, chubby hand and gently touched it. Seeing that Su Niannian did not stop him, he boldly squeezed the jade Buddha pendant.
"It's so cool. When I secretly touched Grandma's jade Buddha, it was just as cool. It's like the cream pudding that Dad bought for me. Grandma usually hides it in a box and doesn't let anyone touch it, not even me, her most beloved grandson. She only takes it out on my aunt's birthday and looks at it for a long time."
Su Niannian found his childish words adorable and couldn't help but pat his head.
"Your aunt must be very important to your grandmother. Only important people are cherished like this."
Xie Zhiyao tilted her head, thought hard, and felt that what the pretty older sister said made a lot of sense.
"Sister, I think you're absolutely right."
"That's how it is. Okay, I'll take you to find your father, otherwise he'll be very worried."
With the weather so hot, parents would be frantic if their child went missing. Xie Zhiyao has been missing for a while now, and I bet Dr. Xie is going crazy with worry.
Xie Zhiyao took her hand, raised her little head, and nodded to Su Niannian: "Okay, sister."
Su Niannian was happy to be called "sister", but then she realized that she was almost twenty years older than him. At this moment, she could understand Gu Yuheng's feelings.
Isn't this just pretending to be young?

When they arrived at the doctor's office, Xie Siyan had just returned from receiving a message outside. In the short time it took him to turn around and say a few words to someone, this kid actually performed the art of disappearing into thin air for him.
Xie Siyan was wearing a white T-shirt, black casual pants, and black sunglasses that covered most of his face. His expression was hidden behind the lenses, and he stood at the door like a guardian deity.
When Xie Zhiyao met his father's gaze, he paused while holding Su Niannian's hand. He pouted and stared at his father for half a minute, but he still couldn't win against the old man and was ultimately defeated.
Su Niannian, who was beside him, became his protective shield.
He tiptoed quietly and hid behind Su Niannian.
Xie Siyan raised his hand and took off his sunglasses, revealing a handsome face without the obstruction.
He whispered, "Xie Zhiyao, come out."
Xie Zhiyao grabbed Su Niannian's clothes and stuck half of his head out.
"Dad, if you promise I won't eat stir-fried pork with bamboo skewers, I'll go out..."
Xie Siyan moved his feet and walked towards this place at a leisurely pace.
"I'll count to three. If you don't come out by then, Xie Zhiyao, I'll treat you to stir-fried pork with chili peppers tonight, and I'll also send you to Africa."
Upon hearing that they were going to Africa, Xie Zhiyao's face scrunched up, and she shrank behind Su Niannian.
"Dad, I don't want to go to Africa. If the sun gets me tanned, Sophie won't like me anymore."
Sophie was his classmate in kindergarten.
Xie Siyan ignored him, walked over, and reached out to grab his son from behind Su Niannian.
Xie Zhiyao saw Su Niannian as her lifeline.
"Sister, help me..."
Su Niannian, standing between the father and son, was speechless.
Why does she feel like she's playing a game of eagle catching chicks?
And she was that old hen.
Speechless.......
She reached out to stop him, saying, "Dr. Xie, please calm down."
Xie Siyan was just too worried. His son was missing, and as a father, he was more anxious than anyone else. He searched the entire hospital and almost called the police.
I just forgot about Su Niannian's existence.
At this moment, I also felt that I had lost my composure in front of outsiders.
He stopped and then turned his gaze to Su Niannian.
But the moment he saw Su Niannian, he was suddenly stunned.
A strange feeling welled up inside me.
"Dr. Xie?" Su Niannian asked when she saw him in a daze.
Xie Siyan snapped out of his daze, a gentle smile on his face, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure. It's just that Miss Su makes me feel a sense of warmth."
Su Niannian didn't know how to answer, so she could only say, "It's okay."
Because Xie Siyan will be Grandma Su's surgeon tomorrow.
Xie Siyan invited Su Niannian to his office for a detailed discussion.
Xie Zhiyao, like a little adult, poured a glass of water to serve the guest.
"Sister, have some water."
Xie Siyan wiped the salad dressing off his son's mouth and sighed helplessly, "You're not familiar with this place at all. Next time, don't chase after every little kitten you see. If you like it, you can ask Dad to come with you, okay?"
Xie Zhiyao: "I know, Dad. But to be honest, this is a blessing in disguise. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to eat the chicken rolls that my sister bought. They are so much tastier than the burnt meat pancakes you made."
Su Niannian was amused by him.
Xie Siyan said somewhat awkwardly, "Miss Su, don't listen to my son's nonsense. He just has high standards; even a five-star chef wouldn't be worthy of his attention."
Xie Zhiyao reached out and grabbed Su Niannian's hand, speaking with righteous indignation.
"Sister, you don't know, once my dad was cooking turkey noodles and almost burned the house down. He was scolded by the firefighters for a long time. After my grandparents found out, they wouldn't let him into the kitchen. Another time, my grandma wrote an essay when she was young, and my dad used it to put in the pot. The ink on it smudged, and my grandma scolded him for a long time."
Xie Siyan looked at his son with a dark face: "What nonsense!"
Xie Zhiyao pouted and reached into her father's pocket to take out his cell phone.
He fiddled with the screen for a while, finally finding a photo of an essay Xie's mother had published in a magazine when she was young.
He held it up in front of Su Niannian: "Sister, look, this is the essay my grandma wrote. Grandma said she even won an international award. Grandma has always treasured it, but Dad actually used it as kitchen paper to line the bottom of the pot."
Su Niannian's gaze fell on the signature on it: Lin Wan.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Dr. Xie, your mother is actually Teacher Lin Wan!"
A look of surprise also flashed across Xie Siyan's eyes.
"Miss Su, do you know my mother?"
Could this Miss Su have some connection with my mother?
Could it be that his inexplicable sense of closeness to Miss Su was also due to this reason?
