“Early in the morning, she was groaning and crying at my door, and she even reached into her bag to take out her heart medication.”
“They cried and begged me to let them stay, saying that they had brought Lin Ke’er to the island for a vacation, and that the climate here was good and would help her recover.”
"She revealed that Lin Ke'er has had six miscarriages in the more than twenty years since she was married!"
"The doctor said that this autumn is the best time for her to recuperate. If she misses this opportunity, her health may never recover, and she may never be able to have children in her life."
"I only agreed to let them stay because I couldn't resist the old lady's persistent pestering."
"I have already warned Mr. Liu that if Lin Ke'er causes any more trouble, I will not give any further notice and will have the security guards throw the whole family out!"
Jiang Zhiyi hurriedly explained, afraid that Zhu Lan would think she was not doing anything.
Her beautiful eyes were brimming with sincerity.
But there was no fear.
Because she knew that Lanlan wouldn't overthink things; it was actually herself who was anxious and worried.
"It's alright. As the owner of the island, this is how you show your magnanimity!"
"But it is indeed strange. Judging from Grandma Liu's behavior just now, she doesn't seem like she would care about Lin Ke'er."
"That pinch she secretly gave me looked painful! She wouldn't even give me a kind look, yet she went to beg someone for Lin Ke'er?"
Zhu Lan patted her affectionately.
"That old woman was no pushover either. She knew that if the wound was exposed, it wouldn't be good for people to see it, so she deliberately twisted the person's waist. Once the clothes covered it, nothing could be seen."
"Alright, let's not talk about these spoilsport people anymore. Go and see the breakfast I prepared for you. It's all made according to your favorite tastes."
"You've definitely never tasted the island's specialties before. This time, let's eat our fill and have a blast!"
Jiang Zhiyi personally opened the door to the private room for her and invited her in.
How could she know what her favorite flavors were?
Did you specifically ask Yan Chengjun about it?
Zhu Lan's sixth sense told her that there must be some secret between the two of them that they were keeping from her!
However, she could feel Jiang Zhiyi's care and kindness towards her, so it couldn't be a bad thing.
………
afternoon.
Jiang Zhiyi invited them to go to the beach.
The white sand beach paired with the azure ocean, with its blurred and indistinct boundary, makes the entire ocean look like a beautiful sapphire, attracting people to stop and admire it.
In the distant deep sea, luxury cruise ships that brought them were moored, one after another, neatly filling the entire dock.
Those are things that rich people are used to; nobody wants to continue having fun on a cruise ship.
There were quite a few people on the beach, and Yan Xu and Yan Zhao couldn't sit still at all.
They couldn't join in the women's conversation anyway, so when they saw some acquaintances playing beach volleyball, they pulled Yan Chengjun along to join them.
Yan Chengjun happened to have a project to discuss with the other party's father. After saying goodbye to Zhu Lan, the three of them headed over there in a grand procession.
There were only three people, but they walked out like a huge army!
If you didn't know better, you'd think they were going to war!
"Your Yan Chengjun, he always has this determined look on his face..."
"That's right, it was this confidence that allowed me to relentlessly pursue you and finally win you over!"
Jiang Zhiyi's tone was sour.
I wish I were a man!
"Zhiyi, you seem to know a lot about my past?"
Zhu Lan asked tentatively.
"ah--"
Jiang Zhiyi awkwardly brushed the stray hairs from her chest back, "Back then, your love story with Chairman Yan was quite a sensation in the entire Beijing business circle. Everyone has heard about it to some extent."
"Want to go swimming?"
"You can swim and collect seashells in the shallow sea area outside the beach."
She quickly changed the subject.
Yan Miao stood to the side, staring thoughtfully at Jiang Zhiyi for a while.
Could Aunt Jiang be my mom's former best friend?
Could it be that inviting Mom over this time was to team up with Dad to awaken her dormant memories?
My daughter's heartfelt words suddenly rang in my ears.
Zhu Lan's heart clenched. Yes, how could she not have thought of that?
Perhaps Jiang Zhiyi knows more than just herself; she is very familiar with her!
They might even be best friends who can talk about anything!
No wonder, the way she kept glancing at me was a mix of surprise and worry, and her practiced door-opening motion was as if she'd done it a thousand times.
How could I not have thought that she might be my best friend?
If they're best friends, why not just say it openly? Why are they hiding it from me and Yan Chengjun?
[Oh my god, I never knew my mom had this kind of appeal!]
Yan Miao was wearing a light yellow one-piece swimsuit, her hair was braided into two pigtails, and her skin was as white as snow. She was lying lazily on a beach chair.
While sipping coconut juice, I browsed through the gossip section of the Merit Mall.
Aunt Jiang's gaze was so intense; she couldn't help but want to know about her relationship with her mother...
Yan Miao's ambiguous gaze darted back and forth between Zhu Lan and Jiang Zhiyi, thinking she had concealed it well.
Feeling the burning gazes around her, Zhu Lan felt like the beach chair beneath her was burning her bottom!
I almost couldn't sit still!
This child should tell me, what's so charming about her?
How can I attract Jiang Zhiyi to be my friend?
Her eyes were full of gossip, making it seem like the truth was more complicated than it appeared. Hope she doesn't mess things up at the crucial moment!
