After hearing what Chen Ze said, Jian Xiaoxing's emotions gradually stabilized. This was more like it. Why would a girl like her go to the workshop?
She looked at Chen Ze with wet eyes and said with a smile: "Really?"
Chen Ze couldn't bear to see her eyes that were as pure as lake water, so he turned his head away.
"Let's go, Mom must be waiting anxiously."
In the previous twenty years, Chen Xiulian had not celebrated her birthday. This year, she was in a good mood and decided to treat her friends to a meal.
In fact, she hadn't seen Xiaoxing and her son together for a long time and wanted to create an opportunity for them to be together.
The last time Xiaoxing was injured, it was a great opportunity to develop feelings, but Chen Ze always used being busy with work as an excuse and never went to the hospital except for the first day.
Thinking about how heartless her son is, she really doesn't know when she will be able to hold her grandson.
Even if Xiaoxing is not of marriageable age and cannot get married, in the countryside, most people hold the wedding banquet first, have the child, and then apply for a marriage certificate.
Since they wanted to hide it first, she couldn't say much and could only help them secretly.
Jian Xiaoxing and Shen Ze arrived at Yuelai Hotel one after another.
When Chen Xiulian saw this, she was overjoyed. This silly boy finally came to his senses and knew to bring his wife back with him.
"Xiaoxing, you and Zeze go wash your hands quickly, the meal will be ready soon."
The store closed early today and there were no outsiders.
He Xiang was busy cooking, and Jian Yang shamelessly followed her around and helped her.
Whenever Chen Ze saw Jian Yang's dog-licking behavior, he would look down on him. He really wanted to pursue his girlfriend so much that he even threw away his dignity.
Jian Yang didn't care about his mocking look, he just thought it was envy and jealousy.
If you are not active in pursuing girls, you will be single for the rest of your life!
The last time Xiaoxing was injured, seeing Chen Ze so nervous, he had thought that if the two of them were really together, he would have no reason to object.
Who would have thought that for the next ten days, he refused to go to the hospital to see Xiaoxing. It seemed that a cold-hearted person like him was destined to live out his life alone, and he would never agree to Xiaoxing being with such a person.
The two people who disliked each other in their hearts simply tacitly agreed not to talk about emotional issues and only communicated about work.
Several people sat together to celebrate Chen Xiulian's birthday.
It was originally Chen Xiulian's home court, but Jianyang stole the limelight.
After drinking a bottle of beer, he took advantage of the alcohol, put his arm around He Xiang's shoulders, and announced to everyone that they were dating.
Jian Xiaoxing snorted and laughed: "Brother, you have announced it so many times, has He Xiang agreed?"
Normally, if Jian Yang acted like this, He Xiang would definitely open his hands and glare at him.
This time, He Xiang did not dodge, and a blush appeared on her face. Everyone knew that Jian Yang had finally won He Xiang over.
Chen Xiulian was happy for them and urged them to hold the wedding banquet quickly, "Jianyang, you are not young anymore, it's time to have a child."
He Xiang's face turned red with shame and she quickly covered her eyes with her hands.
We haven't even started planning yet, so why are we talking about having kids?
However, Chen Ze silently glanced at Jian Xiaoxing. Her face was still childish with a bit of baby fat, and she was not in a hurry to have a baby.
She turned her head and saw her mother's kind eyes, which happened to fall on her.
Is my mother hinting at something?
My mother will be 55 after her birthday. It seems that she is really getting old. She is beginning to forget the sadness of the past and is ready to embrace a new life.
And can he forget the past and truly be happy?
After dinner, Jian Xiaoxing took the initiative to wash the dishes.
Jian Yang took out two movie tickets, took He Xiang's hand, and went to watch a night movie.
After a busy day, Chen Xiu Lian relaxed and felt tired. She wanted to go home and rest early.
Chen Ze hurriedly stood up and prepared to send her off, but she stopped him with a glare:
"It's only a few blocks away. Why are you following us? You can learn from Jianyang and take Xiaoxing to a movie or something."
Shen Ze was worried about her and insisted on sending her out the door, "Mom, then you better be careful."
After Chen Xiulian left for a long time, he stood at the door, hesitating and not entering the store.
He was rehearsing in his mind how to ask Jian Xiaoxing to take her to the movies.
Jian Xiaoxing came out of the kitchen and found that everyone had left, so she picked up her bag and prepared to go home.
She wanted to go back and share with Jian Xia that her elder brother and He Xiang had decided to date, and she also wanted to test her aunt's opinion, because she completely disagreed with them being together.
When she reached the door, she pushed her bicycle and prepared to say goodbye to Chen Ze, but Chen Ze stopped her, hesitating to speak, and finally said:
"Um... Mom asked me to take you to the movies."
Jian Xiaoxing was thinking about going home, so he pushed the cart forward and said, "I'm too tired today, let's do it another day!"
Chen Ze had a bad start, so he kept silent and followed her pushing his cart.
"What movies are available now?" Jian Xiaoxing suddenly asked. The film technology of that era was still very backward, and the picture quality was touching, so she was not very interested.
"I don't know either. I heard from Jian Yang that there will be a romance movie tonight." Shen Ze answered honestly.
Jian Xiaoxing has watched too many romance movies and always sneers at the infatuated male protagonists in them. He thinks that kind of pure and good man probably only exists in movies. In real life, there are more scumbags who abandon their wives and children for fame and fortune.
"Do you think my elder brother and He Xiang can achieve a happy ending?" Jian Xiaoxing asked again.
She was quite disapproving of Jian Yang's sticky tactics in pursuing his wife.
The more passionate you are when pursuing someone, the faster they will cool down once the feelings change.
Chen Ze touched his nose, feeling that this question was a bit beyond the scope. He had lived for thirty years, and this was the first time he had walked on the street with a girl. It was difficult for him to judge other people's emotional affairs.
However, since Jian Xiaoxing asked, he thought for a moment and replied, "Jian Yang seems quite serious. I've never seen him so attentive to a girl before."
Jian Xiaoxing pursed her lips: "I hope so. I'm a little worried about He Xiang. My aunt thinks she looks down on her as a waitress."
Shen Ze was puzzled: "Jian Xia is selling clothes now, right? Doesn't that mean she looks down on her own daughter?"
Jian Xiaoxing stretched out a finger and shook it at him. "That's different. Jian Xia is my daughter. If she were to get married, I would just talk about how good she is at making money. But marrying a daughter-in-law is different. Who wouldn't want their son to marry someone with a good career? It would be so prestigious to tell others about it."
"I thought your uncle and aunt were different." Shen Ze sighed.
He always felt that anyone who could treat his niece like his own daughter and raise her by his side for so many years must not be a worldly person.
It can be seen that human nature is often the same.
The night sky was filled with stars. The two of them pushed the cart and talked while walking, and before they knew it, they arrived outside their uncle's house.
Jian Xiaoxing pushed the door open and walked in, then turned around and smiled at Chen Ze, "I'm home, you can go back now!"
Shen Ze hummed softly as a response, and after she turned her head away, he blurted out:
"Jian Xiaoxing, during our agreement, I will protect you. I will never let you get hurt again."
