His mother was so worried about them that her hair turned white. She was about to be married off, yet she caused such a disgraceful thing to happen. Putting aside the fact that her conscience wasn't too good, if someone else found out, where would the face of the Jiang family be?
"Du, du, du, du ~ ~ ~" The busy tone could not wait to sound out before Jiang motherfinished her sentence, forcefully choking back the words she was about to say.
As expected, its wings had hardened.
Mother Jiang had just been forced into a corner by An Ning and the weather, and now she was being treated like this by her own son. She felt as if she had been abandoned by everyone except for herself.
At this time, Jiang Shao Han still had more than an hour before he got off work. He was originally focusing on handling all kinds of documents and wanted to go over to An Ning's side as soon as possible, but with a phone call from his mother, he messed up all his plans. He didn't care about the mountain of documents beside his desk and directly put down his pen, leaving the company.
After walking straight into the underground parking lot, Jiang Shao Han opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat. He tightly frowned and stepped on the accelerator.
He couldn't wait any longer. He had to go see An Ning now, and he couldn't wait any longer. Jiang Shao Han had seen how sharp her mother's mouth was before. It was with great difficulty that An Ning finally opened her heart to her, and she absolutely couldn't let a hint of doubt and misunderstanding arise in her heart.
While Jiang Shao Han picked up his phone to broadcast An Ning's number over and over again, he rushed to her home and even ran a few red lights. Unlike a few days ago, this time, the phone did not connect. After two or three rings, the phone was switched off.
"Damn it!" Jiang Shao Han wanted to be angry, but he didn't know who to vent to. This kind of feeling made him even more frustrated, and made him even more anxious to see An Ning.
When An Ning saw that the caller ID was Jiang Shao Han, her already heavy mood became even more complicated. She was disturbed by the repeated ringing of the bell, so she threw the phone on the sofa and went back to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
"Some things are only fleeting. The truth is always cruel." An Ning murmured as she cut the food in her hand. The intense bitterness assaulted her fragile heart and her expression became absent-minded. She didn't even notice when Tian Tian had appeared at the kitchen door.
Tian Tian had already finished her homework for the day. Thinking of the words that her mother had said to An Ning an hour ago, she couldn't stop worrying, so she ran over to take a look. As expected, An Ning's actions of preparing dinner were like those of a robot, hollow and stiff.
"Mom …" Tian Tian's heart ached. She wanted to go up and comfort her, but she didn't know what to say.
"Ding dong." The doorbell rang, but An Ning remained unresponsive. She mechanically repeated the motion of the knife as if she hadn't heard anything.
It was not even 6 yet, Jiang Shao Han should still be at work, but after such a thing happened, he should have immediately rushed over to apologize! Tian Tian angrily walked towards the hallway and abruptly opened the door.
"What happened to you?" Tian Tian scolded like a little adult. He looked at Jiang Shao Han, whose forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat, blocked the door and refused to let him in. He was extremely angry, "I thought you were sincere to your mother, but what happened? "Hmm?"
In the end, his mother came to his house and made a ruckus without any reason, saying that Jiang Shao Han wanted to have a try with the daughter of an influential family.
Was this what he meant when he said he truly cared about his mother? Tian Tian felt as if she was being toyed with. She vigilantly stared at Jiang Shao Han, afraid that he would do something to harm An Ning again.
"Tian Tian, let me in first. There are some things I need to clarify with An Ning."
Jiang Shao Han saw that Tian Tian was using this attitude towards him, and his heart instantly cooled down by half. Although he didn't know what his mother had said when she came here and just from Tian Tian's reaction, he knew that they must have had a bad time.
No matter how much he tried to stop her, no matter how displeased he was with her, he had to make this matter clear today.
He had indeed agreed to give it a try with his uncle's daughter, but that was only to appease his mother so that he could protect An Ning and Tian Tian. The only person she truly loved from the beginning to the end was An Ning.
"Why don't you tell me first?" Tian Tian continued to block the door like a Guardian Princess's Knight, unwavering. "If you don't give me a satisfactory explanation, then don't even think about getting close to my mother!"
The reason he helped Jiang Shao Han was because he hoped that Jiang Shao Han could bring his mother a blissful and happy family, and not hurt his mother time and time again. If Jiang Shao Han couldn't treat his mother sincerely, then he might as well not disturb him.
"Tian Tian, who are you talking to?" An Ning heard the rustling sounds and came back to her senses. She puzzledly walked out of the kitchen and immediately saw Tian Tian and Jiang Shao Han standing opposite of each other.
When did he arrive? An Ning was stunned.
Just now, she was still thinking that if Jiang Shao Han was still coming tonight, she wouldn't open the door no matter what. Who knew that Tian Tian would help her make the decision first, but luckily Jiang Shao Han was just standing at the entrance and hadn't really walked into this house yet.
"What are you doing here? Aren't you going home to take care of your uncle's daughter?" An Ning pulled Tian Tian back behind her, looking at Jiang Shao Han with an ice-cold gaze. The shyness and warmth from the last few days had completely disappeared, leaving behind only endless alienation.
Jiang Shao Han's lips pursed into a straight line as his heart burned with anxiety.
Along the way, he had been thinking about where he should start from when he met An Ning. He had thought of countless possibilities, but the moment he saw An Ning, he could not think of anything.
"You can leave now. Thank you for taking care of me and Tian Tian. In the future …" An Ning secretly lowered her eyes, a bitter look flashing across her eyes. "Don't come back from now on. We won't meet again."
Tian Tian didn't make a sound as she quietly watched An Ning's expression change. After all, he had been in contact with his mother many times. If it was really impossible for both his parents to be together, then he would definitely be on An Ning's side.
"No, An Ning, don't get too excited yet. Just listen to my explanation." Jiang Shao Han felt unspeakably sad when she saw An Ning's distant expression. He didn't want to experience another time where she was separated from her without any news.
His brows were furrowed.
However, An Ning remained unmoved.
"I don't want to hear you talk. Let's go." The fire was still burning in the kitchen. An Ning didn't have the time or the mood to discuss these things with Jiang Shao Han. She just took a step forward and pushed Jiang Shao Han, wanting to close the door.
