C409

Half an hour ago, Zhu Jiangci was still in the market.

His cell phone kept ringing, and she hesitated a long time before answering it.

She was not unfamiliar with that number. It could be said that it was a familiar number.

It was the phone number of the Chu residence.

The moment the phone was connected, Feng Manli's voice came from the other side, "Jiang Yan, you really don't want to even go home because of that woman? Are you not going to come home and see me on a day like this? "

"He's not here."

It was quiet over there for a long time. The silence was eerie.

Feng Manli had never thought that the two of them would stay together, nor did he think that the person who would answer the phone would be Su Qiao An.

"So it's you, why? Are you sure no one wants to come back and pester my son? Su Qiao An, why did you come back after you left! My family doesn't welcome you, and I don't want to have a daughter-in-law like you either. If you're still a little ashamed, you shouldn't have come back, and even more so, shouldn't have tangled with my son! "

She had always known that Feng Manli didn't like her, and the disgust Feng Manli had towards her wasn't something that could be dispelled in a short time.

She sometimes felt that Feng Manli's disgust towards her had reached the point where he wanted to make her disappear from this world.

She didn't care about it in the past, and she didn't care about it now either. It was just that she had already made the decision to be together with Zhu Jiangci again after all.

"Zhu Jiangci is an adult and has the right to choose on his own. I can't interfere with his choice, and neither can you. Although her words were quite shameless, they were the truest words in her heart.

Hearing her words, Feng Manli swore a few harsh words, but she did not say a word.

She had a bad temper. Anyone who scolded her in front of her, she would retort.

But —

For Zhu Jiangci, she could bear it. Feng Manli was his mother after all, and she didn't want to start a conflict with him on this special day. It would be hard for Zhu Jiangci to do it.

"Su Qiao An, being together with Jiang Yan will only drag her down. In the past, with Chu Shixiong as your backing, I can't do anything to you, but now, if you continue to shamelessly pester my son, don't blame me for not keeping your old friendship in check!"

Remembering old friendships?

Su Qiao An laughed in ridicule, "I didn't know that you still had some old feelings for me, and since you have already said all that, I will definitely tell you again, I will absolutely not leave his side, as long as he needs me, I will always accompany him. Rather than wasting my time speaking nonsense in front of me, you might as well think of a good way to save your son, since he was the one who begged me to come back, I did not take the initiative to stick up to him."

What she said was the truth. This time, it was Zhu Jiangci who lowered her head, and she would return to his side.

After that, Feng Manli scolded him a few more times. After hanging up the phone, she did not touch his things and waited in the car for him to come back.

Hearing Zhu Jiangci's question, Su Qiao An was stunned.

"It's New Year's Eve today. Do you want to go home and take a look?" After all, if he didn't go back to take a look, it would be too late.

"You want me to go back?"

No, she secretly hoped that Zhu Jiangci would stay, hoped that he would stay by her side.

But that was too selfish. She had no right to stop the two of them being together.

Su Qiao An laughed, "Today's life, is the time for us to reunite. If you do not go back, will you …"

"I ask you again, do you want me to stay or do you want me to go back?"

"…" The smile on Su Qiao An's face stiffened.

"As long as you ask me to stay, I'll stay. If you really want me to leave, I'll leave right now."

She lowered her head and leaned against the dining table, gloomily saying, "You haven't seen me a few times throughout the year, but today is the day you should go home!" I think she would like you to be with her.

"Alright." Zhu Jiangci promised her that he would go back and spend New Year's Eve without even saying a single superfluous word.

Since he agreed so readily, Su Qiao An could not tell if he was more disappointed or disappointed.

While Zhu Jiangci was cleaning up the fruits and vegetables, Su Qiao An stood at the side and watched the entire time.

When he was done, Su Yun suddenly tensed up.

She stood rigid, her hands clutching the hem of her dress to hide her nervousness.

Zhu Jiangci pretended not to see her actions and walked away.

When he left, Su Qiao An was as listless as frost.

Su Yun listened carefully to what was happening behind him. Not long after he entered the bedroom, he came out and walked towards the door. Only then did Su Yun regain his senses.

She followed him and saw that Zhu Jiangci was changing his shoes. She wanted to say something, but was unable to do so.

Zhu Jiangci changed into a pair of shoes and stood at the entrance: "Come here."

Su Qiao An obediently walked closer. Just as he walked over, he was immediately hugged by the man.

Zhu Jiangci hugged her, his chin pressing down on her head, he was extremely helpless, "If you don't want me to leave, then don't pretend to be generous."

She said in a muffled voice, "Then is there still time for me to change my mind?"

"You want to take back what you just said? It's too late."

Su Qiao An replied dejectedly as she pressed her forehead against his chest.

"Do you know your wrongs?" Zhu Jiangci asked.

Puzzled, she looked up at him. "What?"

"In the future, do you still want to keep on talking?"

"…" She shook her head.

Zhu Jiangci smiled happily, and rubbed her cheeks lovingly, "You don't have to waste your time lying to me, nor do you need to say lies. I know what you're thinking, Mrs. Chu.

He didn't mean to say such things to please her.

To him, that family was nothing.

When Chu Wei was still here, he still had some lingering feelings for Chu Wei. Now that Chu Wei was no longer around, and even Chu Shixiong had left, his home had become even more deserted.

In his memories, even if Feng Manli had nothing better to do, he would rarely bother about the two of them. Every day, he would just go out and shop, or find someone to set up a stage for him to play mahjong.

To Feng Manli, he had the responsibility of being his son, but it was impossible for him to pretend to be close to him.

Her home was a very warm word, it was the same for her. She thought, it should be the same for Zhu Jiangci.

She thought for a while, and the smile on her face gradually faded. "It's better if you go back!"

"You still want to chase me away?" Zhu Jiangci looked at her.

Su Qiao An gently shook her head, and said gently, "Father has already passed away for almost a year, and Xu Shu has also left that place. Right now, our family is extremely lonely, and if you don't even return, she will truly be the only one left.
