Chapter 144 Going to see Xu Anan at midnight
Gu Sangyu is the precious daughter of Xu Jing and Gu Wenjun who were in a normal relationship and got married. Xu Jing loves Xie Xu, but at the same time she feels great resentment after being abandoned. She knows that part of this resentment has been transferred to Chen Zan.
In addition, Xu Jing wanted to prove herself, so she gave birth to Chen Zan, but she was not as kind to Chen Zan as she was to Gu Sangyu. Therefore, it was destined that this mother and daughter could not love each other as much as ordinary mother and daughter, and Chen Zan could not act like a spoiled child to her mother as freely as Gu Sang and Xu Anan.
Chen Zan's eyes were sore after hearing this, but she was also glad to hear Ms. Xu Jing say these words so bluntly, so she suddenly came to her senses.
Since it is impossible, don't force it. You have survived the past twenty years, and you can survive in the future.
But she still has a knot in her heart that has been accumulating for a long time, "Have I achieved now..." Your expectations of me, have I disappointed you?
Before she could finish her question, Gu Sangyu had already brought Chen Jiaohua to the kitchen and said in a baby voice, "Mom, haven't you finished cooking yet? I miss you so much."
Chen Zhan's expression changed immediately when he saw Xu Jing. He put down his knife and washed his hands, then picked up the little girl and walked out. He patiently and gently lectured her, "Didn't Mommy tell you that the kitchen is dirty and full of bacteria, and that you have a low immune system, so she told you not to come in?"
When she came back after comforting Gu Sangyu, with the smile still on her face, she remembered to ask her: "What did you just ask me?"
Chen Zhan smiled faintly and shook his head, saying, "Nothing, I just wanted to ask if you could give me a key to your house. I lost mine abroad."
Xu Jing probably didn't realize which home Chen Zhan was referring to. After a moment's pause, she said, "Why do you want the key to the old house? It hasn't been cleaned in a long time. Didn't we agree to go to your Uncle Gu's hometown during the New Year? We can talk about it after the New Year."
Chen Zan didn't insist on getting the key right now. He said okay and left the kitchen.
In order to get two days off for New Year's Eve, Gu Wenjun had to go to the hospital for duty tonight and went out after dinner.
There are four rooms in the house. The smallest one is for the nanny to live in. Chen Zan was arranged to sleep in Gu Sangyu's room. Gu Wenjun happened to be away at night, so Xu Jing took Gu Sangyu to sleep in the master bedroom.
Chen Zhan thought, "I can sleep with grandma."
Unexpectedly, after looking at Chen Zan, Gu Sangyu also grabbed Chen Jiaohua's trouser legs and said, "I want to sleep with grandma too."
Xu Jing: "If you sleep with grandma, mommy won't read you storybooks at night."
Gu Sangyu hummed twice and said he wouldn't listen tonight.
Chen Jiaohua smiled and held each of them by the hand, saying lovingly, "Okay, okay, you both sleep with me tonight."
In the room
Grandma held Gu Sangyu in her arms and coaxed him to sleep, while Chen Zan took the clothes and went to wash up.
When he pushed the door open and came back, the little girl was already asleep. The old man carefully placed the child next to him and covered her with a quilt to prevent her from catching a cold.
Chen Zhan, whose hair was still wet, picked up his phone from the bedside table and whispered, "Grandma, you go to sleep first. I'll go out and blow dry my hair."
Chen Jiaohua: "You should also come back to sleep early, don't stay up late all the time."
Chen Zhan smiled lightly, "I know, grandma, don't worry about me."
Chen Jiaohua was also sleepy, so she followed Chen Zhan to toss and turn.
She went out but couldn't find a hair dryer. She couldn't sleep with wet hair, so she simply put on her clothes and went downstairs to buy a few bottles of canned wine, then took a taxi to Xu Anan's house.
——
Xu Anan has changed a lot in the past two years. She cut her hair short and looks like a strong woman. The eldest daughter was trained to take over the Xu family before she even graduated. As an only child, if she didn't have the ability, she would have to recruit a son-in-law to marry into the family.
When Xu Anan was choosing her major for the university entrance exam, she had never thought about taking over the company. After all, the future of Xu's company was worrying at that time. If she had not accurately stood on Zhou Jingyu's side later, Xu's company would not have been so prosperous later.
In addition, in his sophomore year, Zhou Jingyu abandoned the project and let Xu Anan take charge. He originally thought that she was useful and she was Chen Zan's friend, so he gave her some benefits. Unexpectedly, she actually liked the feeling of being a boss.
Moreover, these days, there are many Phoenix men who marry into other women's families. Xu Anan feels that it is better to rely on herself than to find a man. Now she is the general manager of Xu Group.
She had moved out a long time ago and lived alone in a large flat not far from the company.
It only takes Chen Zan about ten minutes to get there by taxi at night.
When there was a knock on the door, Xu Anan had just returned from the company and had just finished taking a shower. When she opened the door and saw Chen Zan standing outside, her eyes almost popped out.
"Oh my god, I'm not hallucinating, am I? You really came here so late at night."
When Chen Zan sent her a message asking for her address, he thought she was joking.
Chen Zhan shook the beer in his hand and asked, "Want to have a couple of drinks before going to bed tonight?"
Xu Anan looked around at Chen Zhan in disbelief. "Chen Zhan, you came out so late at night, carrying a beer. Are you really the good girl I know?"
Chen Zhan chuckled and said, "An An, do you really think I'm a good girl?"
Xu Anan thought that Chen Zan had cooperated with Zhou Jingyu to confuse the Wei family, and later she was able to dump Zhou Jingyu's woman without blushing or feeling any pain. This was indeed not something a good girl would do.
But that was all based on the premise that Xu Jing didn't find out. As everyone knows, in front of Xu Jing, Chen Zan will always play the role of an obedient and sensible daughter. What's more, she has been back to Rongchuan for five years and is living with Xu Jing tonight, so she dares to sneak out.
Xu Anan said with relief: "Chen Zhan, you have finally made some progress. These five years have not been in vain."
After pulling people in, Xu Anan used the app to order takeout. How could it be enough to just drink alcohol without any snacks?
Xu Anan put on her slippers, then seemed to remember something and said suspiciously, "Don't tell me your stepfather and sister don't welcome you, so you came here to cry in the middle of the night, right?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhan subconsciously asked, "Why do you think so?"
"Also?" Xu Anan raised an eyebrow, "Who else?"
Chen Zhan coughed lightly, "Secret."
Xu Anan snorted twice, "Well, Chen Zhan, you really have turned bad."
The eldest lady's large flat is located in the city center. The floor-to-ceiling windows offer a view of the entire Rongchuan night view. All the decorations are tailored to her preferences. There is not much furniture. The living room has a whole wall of floor-to-ceiling windows and a huge projector. Chen Zhan sighed that she has finally hooked up with a rich woman.
While waiting for the takeaway, Xu Anan turned on the projector and found a movie to serve as background music.
"A rich woman on the list?" Xu Anan said with a sigh, "If you, Chen Zhan, hadn't returned the house in Jing Mansion back then, with the current housing prices in Rongchuan, with your position, you could easily sell it for 1 billion. You would be a rich woman yourself!!"
Chen Zhan stroked his chin and thought for a moment, feeling quite insightful. "Alas, it's all because I was young and impulsive back then, pretending to be noble. I really regret it now."
Xu Anan laughed and said, "Just pretend. If I give you another chance, you will still return it. Believe it or not?"
Chen Zhan asked unconvincedly, "Why?"
Xu Anan deliberately dragged out the last word: "Because you are young and full of energy, pretending to be noble~~"
Chen Zan was embarrassed: "..."
"Tell me, why did you come to my place so late at night? I remember we were supposed to meet tomorrow afternoon."
Xu Anan opened the can for her, put it in her hand, and opened another one for herself.
Chen Zhan: "It's nothing, I just suddenly wanted to come over and have a drink with you."
Xu Anan didn't force it. "Forget it, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. Don't think too much about some things. You finally came back, you really have to fight for it."
Chen Zhan clinked glasses with her, "Thank you for your guidance, Miss."
