This is the first time that Chen Jiali has celebrated the Chinese New Year seriously in mainland China.
The festive atmosphere is strong. No matter whether people know each other or not, as long as their eyes meet, they will respond with a bright smile and a lucky word.
He was having a great time wandering around outside with a few kids and didn't want to leave.
Therefore, it was unexpected for him to be stopped by his biological mother, Ms. Lin Jiachu, on the way home.
He looked at her without saying a word.
As he grew older, he gradually understood why Ms. Lin Jiachu chose to leave the mainland. Life in those days was indeed not easy, so he respected her choice.
But, no forgiveness.
"Jia Li, since you're back home, why don't you go home for the New Year? Your eldest brother and the others are already at the Chen family's old house." Lin Jiachu frowned.
Since the child grew up and had his own wishes, and with the pressure from the Chen family, she didn't dare to send anyone to follow her son anymore, so she didn't know that her son had returned to China this time.
But when she returned to the mainland, she was subject to fewer restrictions. Because she wanted to meet Su Qinghu, she sent people to inquire about the news. Who knew that the news she got was another piece of news, that is, her son was also in the mainland and was with Su Qinghu.
Even, living in her house.
"I've already told my eldest brother and father that I want to spend the New Year with my sister." Chen Jiali looked at her without any emotion. "Why are you here this time? To escort me back to the Chen family's old house to celebrate the New Year?"
Dadan, Erdan, and Li Tuaner stood beside Chen Jiali, looking at the fashionable and elegantly dressed woman in front of them. They didn't say anything, but they were in a protective posture.
They are the only ones who can bully my uncle!
Lin Jiachu did not answer his question, but lowered his head and looked at the little kid holding his son's hand.
Li Tuan'er was looked at by her, and she did not dodge at all, but looked straight into her eyes.
Lin Jiachu met the pair of eyes that looked very similar to Su Qinghu's and was stunned for a moment. When he wanted to say hello again, the little guy had already taken the lead.
He tilted his head back, his brows slightly furrowed, and asked seriously, "Who are you?"
"Me?" Lin Jiachu was stunned by the question and didn't know what to say for a moment.
who is she?
She is his grandmother and also Chen Jiali's mother...
"Yes, who are you?" Li Tuan'er was obsessed with her answer and asked again.
Lin Jiachu was rarely serious in front of a child. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "I am myself."
Yes, she is herself. She is always looking for opportunities, either to get or to give up, and trying to put herself first in her heart.
She only loves herself.
It was as if after knowing that she could not be the only one for Chen Jiali's father, she resolutely left the man, and even the child, just to get more in the weakest way.
Just like more than 20 years ago, because she didn't want to suffer, she found an opportunity and abandoned her daughter Su Qinghu and went to Hong Kong.
Now she still loves herself more than anything else, but she also hopes that her children can have normal interactions with her and not resist her...
Li Tuan'er noticed that she was distracted and changed the question: "So who are you to my uncle?"
The aunt's answer to the question was strange. Maybe the question she asked was not clear enough, so she should ask it again.
Lin Jiachu was a little embarrassed when she heard this and only replied, "I'm his mother."
"Don't you love him?" Li Tuan'er frowned. "Your mother is very different from my mother."
The way she looked at her uncle was not the way her mother looked at him.
The look his mother gave him was one of love, appreciation, encouragement and respect.
But this aunt doesn't treat her uncle like this...
Li Tuan'er looked at Dadan and Erdan, "Brother, right?"
He must have seen it right. His brothers said that to like someone and love someone is like how their mother looks at them, with respect and love.
Big Egg: “Yeah.”
Erdan: "Yes, you read that right."
Why do you look at people like you are looking at a servant?
Eh?
Erdan paused and suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Uncle's mother? Isn't that his mother, Ms. Su's mother?
They called...um, grandma?
ah?
Erdan looked blankly at Lin Jiachu, who looked young and fashionable, like a Hong Kong magazine girl, and began to doubt his life.
No matter how young she looks, you can tell she is a grandmother.
But grandma...
He couldn't call out the name.
Not only did she look young enough, but she also abandoned his mother, Ms. Su.
"You definitely love yourself the most." Erdan curled his lips. "If that's the case, why did you come to see my uncle? Is it because you feel lonely spending the New Year alone and want my uncle to accompany you?"
Lin Jiachu frowned, "You are... my daughter's stepson?"
Su Qinghu became a stepmother at such a young age, and she was not used to it.
This is also the reason why she didn't come to find her after so long.
It’s hard to raise your own children, let alone someone who is not related by blood?
"What chicken or duck? I'm my mother's precious son." Erdan laughed ostentatiously. "My uncle is my mother's precious brother. Whose precious are you, Auntie?"
Forget it. I can’t call her grandma, and I don’t want to call her that. I might as well just call her “Auntie” for the sake of my uncle Chen Jiali.
Polite enough.
Erdan's words made Chen Jiali almost burst out laughing.
But in order to let his child learn to respect his elders, he pinched Erdan lightly without leaving any trace.
Erdan turned his head, bared his teeth, and looked at him fiercely.
Chen Jiali Mo.
Erdan then turned around and continued to provoke, "Auntie, why aren't you talking? Are my words too hard to understand?"
Lin Jiachu pursed his lips and frowned, "Are you always so rude? Did she not teach you well, or is it just like that in your bones—"
