Chapter 270 It's Nice to Be Alone

Chapter 270 is a good person.

While talking and eating fruits in a big room, Chu Xiaoman leaned over to Jiang Chuheng's ear and quickly said, "Brother Four, haitang still lives in Piedmont garden. She's going to the Mo family for lunch this afternoon and will be home tonight."

She made a quick trip back to her home in Piedmont garden this morning. She happened to meet Li Haitang at the door, who was about to leave. The two of them chatted a little, and she tried to find out what she was doing today.

Jiang Chuheng pursed his lips and said, "Yes."

She took out a small card from her pocket, slipped it into his hand, and said in a low voice, "This is her cell phone number."

Chu Xiaoman also felt helpless, matchmaking the two of them was like an underground connection, she was too clear about the pain in Brother Four's heart over the years, she sincerely hoped that the two of them could be reconciled, maybe there will be a lot of hardships in the middle, as long as one side of the effort, there will always be hope.

Jiang Chuheng held the card in his hand and put it in his pocket. For some reason, his heart suddenly brightened.

Not long after, Xu Yueyang and Ji Dongming called him to celebrate his birthday. Naturally, they had called Li Haitang before, got the news in advance, and inadvertently revealed it to him.

Their intention was obvious, and they supported him in pursuing them.

But he was a little afraid, afraid that appearing in front of her would bring back the pain she once felt, afraid to see her smile that was a little far-fetched.

This lunch was for Jiang Chuheng's birthday, a purely family dinner, and no outsiders were invited. Jiang Chuheng had a glass of red wine with his father, second brother, brother-in-law and brother-in-law. He took the initiative to serve his mother a bowl of soup and some dishes. Then there was nothing else.

Chu Hongmei had become much more haggard in the past two years, with more white hair on his temples, mainly because of his younger son, and also because of his attitude towards himself. He was working in the capital city and only came back a few times a year. She had to call him at home to be willing to come back. She knew he was angry with her, but she still didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him. The only thing she was reflecting on was that she had done things too quickly and should take it slow. Perhaps chu heng would not be unable to walk out like he is now.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was rather harmonious, and with a few children at home, it would not be cold.

Jiang Chuheng drank a few glasses of wine, ate some food, drank a bowl of soup under pressure and put down his chopsticks. Then, he became addicted to smoking, took out a cigarette, lit it, and began to smoke again.

Chu Xiaoman was sitting next to him with the child in his arms, and the child in his arms was looking curiously at the white mist coming out of his mouth. He pushed him down and reminded him, "Brother Four, don't smoke. Smoking is not good for you or anyone else."

Jiang Chuheng looked at Xia Fuxiao in her arms, exhaled the smoke from her mouth, then put out the cigarette in her hand, picked up the unfinished wine and took a sip.

Jiang Baichuan frowned. In the past, he didn't smoke. He had been smoking since he was so drunk that he was unconscious two years ago. Now he was getting more and more addicted to smoking. The other two sons and son-in-law in the family didn't smoke much, only a couple of cigarettes every once in a while during social engagements. On the contrary, he still smokes. Looking at his decadent appearance, he wanted to scold him and wake him up, but he was worried that he would leave without saying a word and not come back for more than half a year.

Everyone else had the same thoughts, and they didn't dare to say much about him. In the past, no matter what his family said, he would make his own opinions, but now he never spoke, and everything decided to go with the flow, as if he was an outsider.

After dinner, he sat at home for two hours. He planned to go back to work. As soon as he was ready to get up, Chu Hongmei grabbed him and pleaded with him, "Chu heng, mom knows you're angry with me. After four years of anger, you should let go of any resentment you have towards mom. You're already over thirty today. You can't delay your life. Mom is begging you to settle down soon, okay?"

Jiang Baichuan and the others all frowned, but they didn't say anything. He was indeed over thirty years old. Even if he had a good job, education and family background, he would have to choose a limited number of people at this age.

Mom, you're wrong. I'm not angry with you. I'm just angry with myself. You don't have to talk about this anymore. I don't want to think about it anymore. It's good to be alone."

This was the longest sentence Jiang Chuheng had ever said to her in years, but the meaning of it shocked her for a long time. The hand holding his arm trembled and she couldn't believe it, "Jiang Chuheng, what were you talking about?"

"You heard me clearly. There's no need to say it again."

Jiang Chuheng could understand why she would rather die alone than talk about relationships two years ago. Since it was impossible and the person she loved couldn't be with her, there was no need to make it up to someone else.

Jiang Baichuan did not expect him to have such an idea. The wrinkles on his forehead piled up and he said in a deep voice, "Chu heng, you are still young. If you are still unhappy in your heart, then wait a few more years to talk about this matter. Don't have such thoughts and decisions."

Jiang Chuheng's tone was light, "Dad, you don't have to persuade me. I made this decision two years ago. No matter which woman you approve of, even if I married her against my will, it would only harm her, so you can grant my wish."

"Jiang Chuheng, I will never fulfill this ridiculous idea and decision of yours. You will go on a blind date with me tomorrow and come back only if you don't, or I will break your leg." Chu Hongmei's eyes were red from his anger. For the first time, he gave him a slap on the shoulder and punched him several times in a row.

"Mom!"

"Auntie!"

Daughter-in-law and daughter came over to persuade her, and a few people joined forces to pull her away.

Jiang Chuheng gritted his teeth and let her punch him a few times. After they pulled Chu Hongmei away, he just rubbed his shoulders with a frown and didn't change his face. He looked up at his mother, who was clutching her chest and gasping for air, and suddenly sneered, "Mom, you can't stand it when you hear me thinking this way now? Do you know how painful my heart was when she made this decision four years ago?"

Chu Hongmei was stuck in his throat, unable to get up and down, and he was afraid to look into his eyes.

"Do you know that you almost killed her, that you trampled all her dignity and pride on the ground, that you made her give up, that you made me lose face to see her again?" Jiang Chuheng gritted his teeth and the veins on his forehead popped out. His eyes were red and filled with endless pain and remorse.
