Chapter 76
The other party looked at her seriously. Jiang Bai held the phone. Because of the two months Lan Shuqing mentioned and Li Liyue's previous attitude, Jiang Bai knew this day would come. But she still answered honestly: "As long as Lan Shuqing doesn't let me leave, I won't leave."
Li Liyue raised her eyebrows. "Then why did you just leave last time?"
More than three years ago, Li Liyue also looked for Jiang Bai, but that time Jiang Bai just left without listening to Lan Shuqing.
Jiang Bai smoothed her hair and looked at Li Liyue. "I made the wrong choice last time," she continued, "but I don't regret it, so I won't make the wrong choice again this time."
This answer was beyond Li Liyue's expectation. She looked at Jiang Bai. He had a handsome appearance and looked gentle, which made people like him easily. However, it seemed that this was not the case when he did things.
Jiang Bai seems to be twenty-eight years old, five years older than Shu Qing.
"Auntie, can I ask you a question?"
Li Liyue looked at her in surprise, "What's the problem?"
Jiang Bai took a deep breath. "If," she looked into Li Liyue's eyes. "I mean, if, if I were a boy instead of a girl, would you still be so against me and Lan Shuqing being together?"
Li Liyue looked at her in surprise and didn't answer for a long time.
In terms of age, Li Liyue is almost fifty years old. She has two children who are about to start their own families, but because she takes good care of herself and lives a comfortable life, she looks less than forty years old. So no matter what, Li Liyue has lived twenty years longer than Jiang Bai and has seen a lot of things.
Li Liyue looked into Jiang Bai's eyes, and she suddenly understood Jiang Bai's intention in asking this question, and also saw through the uneasiness hidden behind Jiang Bai's question.
After all, Jiang Bai has come this far alone, and no one has been with her except Lan Shuqing.
So Li Liyue replied: "No."
This time it was Jiang Bai's turn to be surprised.
Li Liyue continued, "Shu Qing's father and I started from scratch and have seen all kinds of things. It's not as feudal as you think."
She sighed, "I don't want you to be with Shuqing, just because I don't want Shuqing to suffer the same pain we suffered."
"No mother would watch her child walk down a difficult path."
Jiang Bai held the phone in his hand, a bitter feeling welling up in his heart. Yes, the road they were walking on was a difficult one.
But she still had Lan Shuqing. Jiang Bai looked up at Li Liyue and asked, "So, Auntie, you still don't agree with us being together?"
Li Liyue did not give Jiang Bai an answer to that question. She just left the ward in silence and let Lan Shuqing go in.
Lan Shuqing wanted to ask, but Li Liyue told her not to ask and left.
Lan Shuqing returned to the ward, walked to Jiang Bai's side, lowered his head and asked, "Jiang Bai, what did my mother say to you?"
Jiang Bai looked up at her, his eyes red.
Lan Shuqing subconsciously hugged her. Jiang Bai buried his head in Lan Shuqing's belly and hugged her tightly. Lan Shuqing rubbed her back lovingly, "It's okay, Jiang Bai, I'm here."
--
Li Liyue actually didn't have the answer to that question herself.
It's just that she saw Lan Shuqing's happiness, her relationship with Jiang Bai, and Jiang Bai's efforts. She even recalled Lan Shuqing's life in the past few years and found that her daughter was studying and working. There were some people who pursued Lan Shuqing in the past, but she didn't like any of them.
I just like Jiang Bai.
Perhaps my daughter has liked Jiang Bai since that time four years ago.
Thinking of Jiang Bai's questioning to her in the ward, for a moment, Li Liyue felt that she was being unkind.
After returning to her residence, Li Liyue called Lan Zhaoting and took Lan Qi with her to hold a family meeting without Lan Shuqing regarding the matter between Lan Shuqing and Jiang Bai.
Lan Zhaoting's attitude is relatively simple. Lan Shuqing is no longer a child. She knows what she is doing. Moreover, they are Lan Shuqing's family. If they don't support Lan Shuqing, who will support her?
"Wife, think about it, Shu Qing is still young. Even if she and Jiang Bai don't work out, there's still time to find another one. In the end, Shu Qing won't be the one who suffers."
Young people still have time to make mistakes.
"Yeah, Mom, you don't want to see your sister sad, right?"
Li Liyue was so angry at them that she glared at the two people on the screen, "You two are the good guys, and I'm the only bad guy, right?"
Lan Zhaoting quickly said, "Wife, you are also thinking about Shu Qing, how can you be a bad person?"
Li Liyue replied angrily, "Then tell your daughter to separate from Jiang Bai now!"
Lan Zhaoting smiled awkwardly, "Wife, isn't there still two months left?"
Li Liyue snorted and looked at Lan Qi again, "And you, pay more attention to your own things and don't make me rush you!"
Lan Qi nodded quickly, "Mom, I understand."
Li Liyue looked at the two of them again and said unhappily, "Okay, that's it." Then she hung up the video call.
After the chat, Li Liyue took out the photo album of Lan Shuqing from childhood to adulthood stored in her mobile phone, and finally stopped at the day when Lan Shuqing finished the college entrance examination.
On the night after the college entrance examination, Lan Zhaoting specially booked a private room to celebrate Lan Shuqing's completion of the college entrance examination. They had a great time that night, but as soon as they got home, Lan Shuqing said he was tired and went back to his room.
Half an hour later, when Li Liyue brought Lan Shuqing bedtime milk, Lan Shuqing hadn't even changed his clothes and was sitting in front of the desk in a daze.
From that time on, Li Liyue discovered that her daughter was not as happy as she had imagined.
The next day, Li Liyue sent messages to Lan Shuqing and Lan Qi, making an appointment to meet in a cafe.
After Li Liyue and Jiang Bai talked yesterday, Lan Shuqing wanted to call and ask, but Jiang Bai stopped her.
Lan Shuqing was not very clear about the details, but from what Jiang Bai said, her mother did not give a direct response. Jiang Bai thought that they should both calm down for a while.
As a result, Li Liyue asked her out today and also asked her brother to meet up.
Lan Shuqing was confused, but he had no choice but to go to the appointment calmly.
In the cafe, Li Liyue directly took out two copies of the property deeds and gave one to Lan Shuqing and Lan Qi, one for each.
The cafe was very quiet. The red house deeds were placed in front of the two people. Li Liyue looked at them and said, "I discussed it with your father and decided to buy a house for each of you in Beijing."
"Qi'er, although you and Jinyue haven't settled down yet, you can't stay with Jinyue forever. You two are just having fun together, and it wouldn't be good if the Qiu family knew about it."
"And you," Li Liyue looked at Lan Shuqing, "Shuqing, even though you haven't let me control you much in the past few years, you and Jiang Bai can't live in your loft forever."
Lan Shu widened his eyes slightly, and Lan Qi was also shocked.
Li Liyue continued, "You and her will have to stay in Beijing for at least two years. I don't care whether you plan to settle down in Beijing or return to City A. You must have a home in Beijing, even though this house was originally intended for you."
Li Liyue turned to look at Lan Qi again, "Qi'er, you and Jinyue should try to settle down as soon as possible. You're almost thirty, you're not young anymore."
Lan Qi smiled and said tentatively, "Mom, why don't you go and urge Ah Yue?"
Li Liyue glared at him and said, "She's your own girlfriend, so persuade her yourself!"
Lan Qi surrendered, "Okay, okay, I'll persuade him myself."
Lan Shuqing looked at Li Liyue cautiously, "Mom, what do you mean?"
Li Liyue looked at her and said, "I agree that you and Jiang Bai can be together, but how far you can go is up to you. This is also what your father meant."
After receiving Li Liyue's affirmative answer, Lan Shuqing was overjoyed. She excitedly stood up and hugged her, smiling widely, "Thank you, Mom!"
It's hard for her and Jiang Bai to be so nervous all night. Now Jiang Bai will be very happy.
Lan Shuqing reacted, but she couldn't stop smiling. She asked again, "Mom, why did you suddenly agree? You know, after you talked to Jiang Bai yesterday, I was thinking about how to coax you..."
Li Liyue looked up and glared at her, "Do you think I'm a child? Do I need to be coaxed?"
Lan Shu hugged her gently, "You are not a child, you also need to be coaxed~"
Lan Qi touched his nose. He hadn't seen his sister so happy for a long time. She was acting like a spoiled child with his mother like this. It was hard for his mother. She must have been thinking about it all night from yesterday to today.
Now it’s good, after all the hard work, there is happiness.
Lan Qi touched his chin again, it seemed that he really should speed up the process.
Li Liyue and Lan Zhaoting have been busy with houses recently. They finally chose a high-end community not far from the city. At first, Lan Zhaoting wanted to buy a villa, but young people may not like living in villas, so he chose a community.
The large flat of more than 200 square meters, with upstairs and downstairs, provides both privacy and convenient movement. Everything is organized and you can move in directly with your luggage.
As for the others, Li Liyue thought of letting them deal with it on their own.
When Lan Shuqing returned to the ward and told Jiang Bai the news, she took a long time to react.
To be honest, the last conversation with Li Liyue was not very pleasant. Jiang Bai didn't expect Li Liyue to agree to let her and Lan Shuqing be together so quickly. It felt like a dream.
Jiang Bai was stunned. Lan Shuqing sat beside her, holding her hand and smiling, "What's wrong? Are you happy and stupid?"
Jiang Bai reacted and looked at Lan Shuqing. She held Lan Shuqing's hand and said, "Lan Shuqing, your parents love you very much."
Li Liyue agreed to their relationship probably because of Lan Shuqing.
Lan Shu nodded slightly, "Yeah." She stroked Jiang Bai's face with her right hand, "Jiang Bai, thank you."
Jiang Bai pursed his lips, "But I didn't do anything."
Lan Shu chuckled, Jiang Bai's face reflected in his eyes, "But you've always been by my side, haven't you?"
Jiang Bai looked at Lan Shuqing. She thought a lot, but also seemed to be thinking nothing. After a while, she straightened up, stretched out her hand towards Lan Shuqing, and kept staring at Lan Shuqing. Lan Shuqing understood, sat closer, and put her arms around Jiang Bai. Jiang Bai hugged her back, resting his chin on Lan Shuqing's shoulder, and then smiled.
"Can I still live with you then?"
Lan Shu gently held the back of her head and said, "Of course."
Jiang Bai laughed again, "Blue Book Light."
"Um?"
Jiang Bai buried his head in Lan Shuqing's neck, his arms around Lan Shuqing's waist, "Call you."
Lan Shuqing also smiled, "Okay."
