Chapter 321 – My Daughter Is Likely A Green Tea (part 10)
Within a few days, Yang Lulu actually asked people to move the piano at her home to the Su family's house. Li Su was not at home at the time. Only Aunt Zhao was at home.
Aunt Zhao didn't know what happened, so she quickly called Li Su.
When Li Su received the call, she quickly told her colleagues, and hurried back. Seeing all this, she was dumbfounded. "What's going on?"
When she was wondering what was going on, Yang Lulu called. "Auntie, this is my old piano. My younger brother scratched off some of the paint and two keys don't work, so I replaced it with a new one. It's a pity to throw away this old one. I think that Jingwan likes the piano, so I sent it to your home. You don't dislike it, do you? If you dislike it, I will ask them to get rid of the piano."
Li Su didn't dislike it, but she didn't like it either. After moving to a new house, she was going to find some reason and excuse to buy Su Jingwan a piano. An expensive one was not easy to buy, so she was just going to buy a mediocre one. She didn't expect that Yang Lulu would send over an old piano. "It's not a matter of disliking or liking it. It's…"
"It's good that auntie doesn't dislike it. I have something to do, so I'll hang up first! Goodbye, auntie." Yang Lulu hung up the phone without waiting for Li Su to say anything.
The workers were installing the piano. Li Su went over to have a look. She checked it on her cell phone for the Yamaha CX series piano. The cheapest piano of this series cost more than two hundred thousand yuan.
Aunt Zhao came over. "Forget it, we will just accept it. Anyway, it's old. Those people don't want it and Jingwan likes it."
"I was going to find a reason to buy a piano for Jingwan. It's only tens of thousands of yuan. I didn't expect that…" Li Su said helplessly.
"Forget it. This isn't a bad thing. From now on, we should treat the two sisters better. Especially Luoluo. That child likes to eat Coca-Cola chicken wings. I'll go buy some chicken wings and cook them for her tonight!" Aunt Zhao said. She had always regarded the two children of the Su family as her grandchildren, and her son has always felt indebted to Aunt Zhao after coming out and causing a divorce between his parents. Now that Aunt Zhao had found a new direction in life, he was also happy to see it. The two families got along as if they were the same family. Aunt Zhao spoke more straightforwardly now.
"Let's talk about it after Jingwan comes back! Auntie, I have to go back quickly. I have to work overtime, so I won't be back for dinner. You don't have to wait for me." Li Su looked at the time and stood up quickly.
"Okay, be careful on the road!" Aunt Zhao said.
At noon, Su Jingwan and Su Jing'an came back one after another. Su Jing'an was fine when he saw that there was an extra piano at home. He liked taekwondo and roller skating, so he was not interested in the piano. His lips curled upwards. "Mum is so biased. She is willing to buy a piano for older sister, but she is not willing to buy a cell phone for me."
Su Jingwan put down her schoolbag, walked to the piano and sat down. She opened the cover of the piano and tried it out. Her eyes were full of joy. Lulu was really understanding. She just hinted vaguely a couple of times and Lulu understood.
"It wasn't your mother who bought it. It was an old piano that was discarded by Lulu's family. She said it was a pity to throw it away, so she sent it to our house. She also said that if you disliked it, she would have someone move it away and throw it away," said Aunt Zhao as she came out of the kitchen. "Hurry up and eat."
After hearing this, Su Jingwan raised her head in surprise. "Lulu? Why didn't she tell me!"
"She called your mother directly. Jingwan, I think this is very good. It's a pity that they don't want it. It's a pity to throw it away. Our family wants it. Your mother was planning to buy you a piano. Now she has saved tens of thousands of yuan! How wonderful! Let's just accept it!" Aunt Zhao urged.
Su Jingwan looked at the piano and shook her head. "No, the original price of this piano is more than 100,000 yuan! Besides, the piano is very good, but some of the paint has come off. No, I have to call Lulu and ask her to take the piano back!"
Su Jingwan took out her cell phone and called Yang Lulu.
Yang Lulu saw the incoming call and put down her bowl and chopsticks. Mother Yang was feeding her precious son, Yang Longlong. "Who is it? Jingwan? I'll pick up!"
Yang Lulu quickly handed her the phone.
Mother Yang picked up the phone. "Hey, Jingwan, how did you find the piano? Oh, it's okay! I've wanted to change our piano at home for a long time. My Longlong is also planning to learn piano in the future. This piano is too old. If you dislike it, then I won't say anything. If you don't dislike it, then you can just use it! Why are you being polite? My Lulu and Luoluo always run to your house and bother you. That's all there is to it! Bye-bye!"
Then, she quickly hung up and returned the phone to Yang Lulu.
"You've finished?" Yang Lulu took back her phone.
"Your mother dealt with it. There's nothing I can't handle!" Mother Yang smiled, and fed her baby son again. "Longlong, take another bite. Oh, you child, why are you so hard to feed? Look at your eldest sister and second sister. It was difficult to get them to eat. Ever since they went to the Su family's house, it is much easier! I will send you to the Su family's house tomorrow."
"No, Jingwan's family can't afford your son!" Yang Lulu said angrily. "If he won't eat, then he can just go hungry."
"What are you saying, child? You didn't eat when you were young. Did we let you go hungry? Longlong, be good. Don't listen to your eldest sister's nonsense. Be good and eat," Mother Yang continued to coax him.
Over there, Yang Luoluo still obediently finished her meal. "Older sister, I'm full."
"Go back to your room when you're full. Do you have homework? If not, brush your teeth and go to sleep later," Yang Lulu said.
"Older brother Jing'an will teach me my homework in the evening," Yang Luoluo said slowly.
Yang Lulu said angrily, "Got it, let's go!"
Over there, Su Jingwan hung up the phone. She knew it in her heart, but her face was blank. Su Jing'an came over and asked, "What happened?"
"Aunt Yang answered the phone. She spoke so fast that I didn't catch everything. Anyway, I got the gist of what she meant. Forget it. I'll talk to Lulu in the afternoon!" Su Jingwan said.
After going to school in the afternoon, Su Jingwan wanted to talk to Yang Lulu several times, but Yang Lulu kept avoiding her. Su Jingwan was angry and also found it funny. She finally blocked the person when the third period was over. "Lulu! Why are you avoiding me all the time?!"
"If you don't worry about the piano, I won't avoid you," Yang Lulu said.
"How do you know…" Su Jingwan looked at her in surprise.
"Do you think I don't know you!" Yang Lulu rolled her eyes. "I was afraid that you wouldn't want it, so I scratched it first. It's just an old piano, so you can take it with peace of mind! My parents don't care about the piano. They know and they also agree." Her mother originally planned to give the old piano to her cousin, but she said that it would be better to give it to Jingwan than to her distant cousin who she wasn't close to. After hearing this, her mother also felt that the Su family was more useful than those relatives, so she agreed.
"But…" Su Jingwan wanted to say something else.
"There's nothing wrong with it, so let's leave it at that. If you really feel bad, then you, as a sister-in-law, should treat our family's Luoluo better in the future. Our Luoluo is a bit stupid, but it is good to be stupid. She is obedient and doesn't cause trouble…" Yang Lulu said with a smile.
Seeing her talking more and more, Su Jingwan said, "Lulu, what are you talking about?! How old is Luoluo?!"
The two laughed and ran off.
When Li Su came back from work, she just opened the door and heard the sound of the piano. After entering the door, she saw Su Jingwan sitting in front of the piano, playing mesmerisingly. On the ground next to her, Su Jing'an and Yang Luoluo looked like two little fans. They had their hands on their chins and were watching raptly.
Li Su smiled and closed the door to change her shoes.
Su Jingwan heard the sound of the door closing and turned her head to look over. "Mum, you are back?"
"Isn't Lulu here?" Li Su asked with a smile.
"My older sister was afraid that auntie would break the piano if she came by, so she didn't come," Yang Luoluo said.
Li Su couldn't help but laugh.
Su Jingwan stood up. "Okay, have you finished your homework? Hurry up and do your homework!"
Su Jing'an said indifferently, "I finished my homework at school, how about you?" This question was for Yang Luoluo.
Yang Luoluo shook her head.
"Didn't you write a single word?" Su Jing'an was a little mad. He raised his voice.
"Mm!" Yang Luoluo nodded, then smiled innocently.
"You haven't written a single word and you are still here listening. Why don't you hurry up and do your homework?!" Su Jingan quickly got up from the ground. He gave Yang Luoluo a hand, and dragged her to the room. " Quick, quick, do your homework!"
Su Jingwan got up and poured Li Su a glass of water. "Mum, drink some water!"
"Have you talked with Lulu?" Li Su asked with a smile.
Su Jingwan nodded. "Lulu…" Su Jingwan didn't know what to say.
"Even if it was going to be discarded by the Yang family, we can't ask for their things for nothing. Mum went to inquire about this matter. This is a Yamaha C1X. The original price is more than 200,000 yuan. This piano from the Yang family is still fairly new and is probably worth about 100,000. This is still a good deal for our family. We just bought a house and money is a bit tight. As for the money, I plan to pay it back in installments and pay it back in 33 months. I will pay 4,000 yuan in the first month, and then 3,000 yuan will be paid every month thereafter. You should bring it to Lulu tomorrow. If she doesn't want it, we can get someone to remove this piano! "Li Su said with a smile.
Su Jingwan panicked now. She really wanted a piano so badly. She knew that as long as she said so, her mother would definitely buy it for her. But she was afraid of spending the family's money, so she came up with this method. She didn't expect Yang Lulu's side to go smoothly, but something went wrong on her mother's side. "Mother!"
"It's okay. Mum was going to buy you a piano." Although Li Su was smiling, her tone was firm.
Su Jingwan felt extremely uncomfortable. Did she do something wrong? Her mother's monthly salary was only a little over 5,000 yuan and now she bought a house. She and her younger brother studied interest classes, and there was also Grandma Zhao's salary. Now, there was an extra expense.
"Mum, I was wrong. I will ask Lulu to take the piano away tomorrow!" Su Jingwan said with red eyes.
"Jingwan, mum knows what you are thinking. You have always wanted to have a piano, but you are sensible. You love mum and have been refusing to ask. That's why you did this. But Jingwan, mum wants you to understand that you can't get something for nothing. If you want something, then that requires your own efforts. Mum decided to keep this piano, but we need to pay it back, " Li Su said with a smile.
Su Jingwan felt so ashamed that her mother knew everything! "Mother!"
"Stupid child, you are my daughter. How could your mother not know what you are thinking? Mum doesn't blame you. Mum just hopes that you can understand that friendship needs to be maintained with sincerity, not hypocrisy. Mum knows that you are a good child and mum hopes you can become better. Mum believes in you!" Li Su stood up and hugged Su Jingwan in her arms.
"Mum, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Su Jingwan choked up.
Chapter 322 – My Daughter Is Likely A Green Tea (part 11)
Li Su didn't speak, but hugged Su Jingwan tenderly. She let Su Jingwan cry in her arms.
Aunt Zhao thoughtfully hid in the kitchen until Su Jingwan calmed down before coming out. While Su Jing'an was busy helping Yang Luoluo with her homework, he was so angry that he was about to faint. He did not know what was going on outside.
Seeing that Su Jingwan stopped crying. Li Su helped her wipe away her tears. "Mum, mum, I'm sorry. I, I won't do it anymore," Su Jingwan said while sobbing.
At the beginning, Su Jingwan didn't think there was anything wrong with what she did. She didn't ask for it, and Yang Lulu took the initiative to give it to her. She just couldn't refuse the kindness of her good friend. But she didn't expect that her mother knew exactly what she was hiding. What was even more unexpected was that, not only did her mother not blame her, she was not angry with her either.
Su Jingwan still didn't feel that she did something wrong, but she knew that she had put a lot of burdens on her mother by doing so, and that this was a mistake.
Li Su smiled. "Stupid child. There is nothing to be sorry for. Seriously speaking, it's your mother who should apologise to you. She failed to buy you a piano early on and failed to let you continue playing piano."
"No, mum, it's my fault. I was too greedy! I'll tell Lulu to take the piano away." Su Jingwan had almost calmed down.
"Why get rid of it? Mum was going to buy you a piano. Now it's good. Everything has been settled!" Li Su said with a smile. "Go and see how Luoluo is doing with her homework. If she has not finished, she can continue after dinner."
"Mom, the money…" Su Jingwan bit her lip and said.
"It's okay. Mum has taken on some private work, so you don't have to worry about the money," Li Su said.
Su Jingwan bit her lip. She decided that she couldn't let her mother make money alone. She had to do something to make up for her mistakes. Su Jingwan took out her cell phone, found Zhao Yiyan, a classmate from a poor family, and asked her if she could do something that would not affect her studies to earn some money.
Su Jingwan's popularity in the class had always been very good. She belonged to the category of a goddess. Zhao Yiyan also had a good relationship with her and immediately introduced her to several jobs, such as distributing leaflets after school or on the weekend, or wearing costumes to attract customers.
After it was over, she asked her if she had encountered any difficulties. If so, she could tell her. She still had some money and could lend her some in an emergency.
Su Jingwan thanked Zhao Yiyan first, then declined the other party's offer to borrow money. She made an appointment to try out a job with her after school the next day.
The next day, Su Jingwan went to school. When class was over, she gave Yang Lulu the 4,000 yuan that her mother gave her last night, plus the 3,000 that she had in her hand. She told Yang Lulu of her and her mother's decision. "Lulu, if you still treat me as a friend, accept the money. I will return the remaining 92,500 to you in monthly installments."
Holding the wad of money, Yang Lulu frowned. "Jingwan, what are you doing?! Don't you still treat me as a friend?"
"It's because I regard you as a friend that I can't ask for your piano for nothing. This is what my mother means," Su Jingwan said seriously.
Yang Lulu was really speechless. "You really… Why are you so stubborn?"
"Lulu, take the money! You are my best friend. I don't want our relationship to be mixed with other things," Su Jingwan said.
Yang Lulu had no choice but to accept the money. She thought that she would save the money for Jingwan and give it to Jingwan later if she needed it. "Okay, then I'll accept it. But, didn't your family just buy a house? Where did you get the money from?"
"My mother found a part-time job. I plan to distribute leaflets after school or on weekends. I can earn a little money and help my mother and reduce her burden. I have made arrangements with Yiyan. She will take me there after school." Su Jingwan saw Yang Lulu receive the money and she lowered her eyes.
"What did you say you are doing? So, it's all my fault." Yang Lulu became anxious when she heard this.
"Lulu, don't say that. Actually, I'm very happy. I've always wanted to have a piano… I have to thank you!" Su Jingwan quickly explained.
"I know. I know. That's why I gave you the old piano. I didn't expect… Alas, auntie is too serious. We are friends!" Yang Lulu sighed.
"I think my mother is right." Su Jingwan smiled gently.
"Yes, yes, in your heart, what auntie does is right. Come on. I'll accompany you to distribute leaflets later. The money is yours and I will experience something new," Yang Lulu said.
"Thank you, Lulu!" Su Jingwan was a little moved. She knew that Yang Lulu did this for her.
"Okay, we are good friends! Of course we have to do everything together!" Yang Lulu said with a smile.
After school that afternoon, Su Jingwan and Yang Lulu followed Zhao Yiyan to distribute leaflets. Zhao Yiyan had other part-time jobs today, so she took them there. After negotiating the salary with the boss, she told Su Jingwan a few words and left first.
They mainly distributed leaflets for a newly opened hot pot restaurant. If a customer took the leaflet to eat, the two of them would get a commission.
Su Jingwan went from being shy at the beginning to being calm and composed later. She gently held the flyer. "Chuanshu Renjia Hot Pot Restaurant has newly opened. Get 20% off card purchases. Buy 500 yuan worth and get 50 yuan off. Come take a look!"
Yang Lulu couldn't do it and stood beside Su Jingwan expressionlessly.
Maybe it was because of their good looks, but some people took the initiative to pick up leaflets. Many people went in to eat.
The two of them dispersed leaflets from 5:30 to 7:30. Two hours later, Su Jingwan and Yang Lulu got the money. In addition to the basic salary of 20 yuan, there was an additional commission of 50 yuan. The owner of the hot pot restaurant was very cheerful. "Actually, you can earn more by distributing leaflets at night, but you are students so you mainly study. Will you come tomorrow? If you come, I will give you a raise, 15 yuan an hour!"
Su Jingwan nodded with a smile. "Okay, I'll come back tomorrow."
On the way back, Yang Lulu weighed the money in her hand and couldn't help but complain. "After standing for more than two hours, I only made 70 yuan. It is not enough for a meal. It's too hard to make money!"
Su Jingwan counted the 70 yuan over and over again. "It's already very good. It's only the first day, and I made 70 yuan. If I can earn this much every day in the future, it will be more than 2,000 yuan a month!"
Yang Lulu gave her a blank look and put the 70 yuan in her hand into Su Jingwan's hand. "As long as you are happy. Return quickly!"
Su Jingwan tried to return the money. "Lulu, take it back! This is the first money you have earned with your own hands. It has meaning."
Yang Lulu rolled her eyes. "Come on! We agreed that I'm just here to accompany you. I would give you the money I earn. It's only seventy yuan. What's the point?! Put it away quickly. Don't turn around and throw it away later!"
Su Jingwan had no choice but to take the money back.
When the two went back, everyone was waiting for them to eat. Aunt Zhao said, "You're back. Wash your hands and eat quickly." Yang Lulu was also polite, and took the reluctant Yang Luoluo home after eating.
Li Su didn't get home until after 10pm. When she came back, Su Jingwan heard the movement immediately and quickly put down the book and came out. "Mum, you are back? Are you hungry? Let me cook a bowl of noodles for you."
"No need, I ate outside." Li Su said with a smile. "It's almost 11, why haven't you slept yet? Were you waiting for me? I've been a little busy these days, so don't wait for me!"
"I was reading and I'm going to sleep now." Su Jingwan poured Li Su a cup of tea. Li Su took it and drank it in one gulp.
"Mum, what have you been up to recently? Is it hard work?" Su Jingwan stood behind Li Su, rubbing her shoulders.
"I'm helping people design advertisements. I've been staying in Internet cafes. It's not hard work. It's just that I stare at the computer for a long time and my eyes are very sore," Li Su said. This work was not very hard, but sometimes she encountered some serious people. For customers, one advertising picture could be reworked more than 10 times.
"Then let me make a cup of chrysanthemum and wolfberry tea for you!" Su Jingwan turned around to make tea.
Li Su quickly called for her to stop. "Don't bother. I'm going to bed soon. I don't want to drink so much tea. Go to bed quickly! You have to go to school tomorrow morning!"
Su Jingwan thought for a while. "I'll take out the chrysanthemum and wolfberry and make a cup of tea for mum tomorrow morning. You can take it to work?"
"Okay, I'm going to take a shower. Go to bed if you have nothing to do!" Li Su stood up.
The mother and daughter worked hard on their own. At the end of the month, Li Su took another 3,000 yuan and handed it to Su Jingwan, asking her to return it to Yang Lulu.
Su Jingwan also took out 2,500 yuan and put it together.
Li Su looked at her. "Did you get a part-time job?"
Su Jingwan smiled. "Yes, I went out to distribute leaflets after school and on weekends. It was usually 10 yuan an hour, and 90 yuan a day on weekends. Lulu also went with me a few times and all the money she earned, she gave to me. It totals 2,500 yuan! Mum, don't worry. It hasn't affected my studies and I'm still number one in this unit test."
Li Su looked at the money and smiled. She was not short of money. She just wanted to take this opportunity to let Su Jingwan understand something. Now it seemed that Jingwan had done a good job.
"No wonder your Grandma Zhao said that you came back late every night during this time. So that was the reason why. Jingwan, your mother is very happy that you can do this, but you are still a student now. You have to focus on studying, and sleep is important. Just go out to distribute leaflets when you have time on weekends. Don't go from Monday to Friday. Be obedient!" Li Su said, touching Su Jingwan's small face. No wonder her little face had darkened.
"Got it mum! Mum, I'm very happy to be able to help! Really!" Su Jingwan laughed.
"Mum is also very happy!" Li Su laughed.
When she came back at night, Li Su handed Su Jingwan a paper bag.
"Mum, what is this?" Su Jingwan curiously opened the paper bag and looked inside. Inside was a set of skin care products, sunscreen, and makeup remover. Su Jingwan looked up at Li Su in surprise. "Mum?" Isn't it too early to to be using these now? She had been using baby cream before, which was very moisturising.
"You are not young anymore. The set mum bought for you is all natural and has no chemical additives. It is suitable for your age. As for the mask, don't use it often. Just use it once a week. But, you have to use this sunscreen. It seems that you have gotten darker this month. But remember, after using sunscreen, remember to remove your makeup. Otherwise it will remain on your face and it will be bad for your skin." Li Su smiled.
Su Jingwan was a little excited, but also a little scared. "Mum, is it suitable for me to use now?" She knew that Lulu had been using skin care products since the sixth grade, but she never thought about using it herself. On the one hand, she felt that she was naturally beautiful, and she could be just as beautiful without skin care products. On the other hand, she was afraid that her mother would think that she paid attention to this sort of thing at a young age and would consider her to be frivolous.
In fact, during this period of time, she also noticed that she was tanning. She secretly made some homemade facial masks at home, hoping that she could go back to having whiter skin. Unexpectedly, her mother took the initiative to buy it for her.
Chapter 323 – My Daughter Is Likely A Green Tea (part 12)
"What? I want it too!" Su Jing'an leaned over and said.
"Child, why do you want this? You haven't reached puberty yet!" Li Su said angrily.
Su Jing'an immediately pursed his lips. "Mum, you are biased. You only like older sister. You only buy things for her."
Seeing this, Li Su rolled her eyes and threw him a bag. Su Jing'an quickly opened it and saw that it was a set of sportswear. "Thank you, mum. You are so kind."
"Mum, this probably cost a lot of money, right?" Su Jingwan felt sorry for the money. "Mum, do you still have the receipt? No, I can return this!"
"It's fine. This is money earned by mum's part-time job. It won't affect our life. Don't worry!" Li Su said with a smile.
Su Jing'an also said nonchalantly, "That's right, older sister. Why are you thinking about this so much? When we grow up, we will also buy things for mum. Mum, when I grow up, I will be filial to you! I will buy what you want!"
Li Su glanced at him. "Hehe, good luck!" She could count on him? She would be sure to remember it!
That night, after Su Jingwan finished her homework and washed her face, she put on a mask and was full of joy. Fifteen minutes later, she took off the mask and washed her face. She didn't know if it was her own illusion, but she felt that her skin was softer and smoother. She applied toner and lotion again, looked in the mirror for a long time, and felt that she looked a lot whiter.
Suddenly, Su Jingwan was stunned. Her mother bought her skin care products, but what about her mother? What was she using?
Su Jingwan thought of this, got up and ran to the bathroom. She only saw a Dabao facial cleanser and face scrub. Su Jingwan was frozen.
Li Su got up to go to the toilet and saw Su Jingwan standing there in a daze. "Why haven't you gone to sleep yet?"
"Mum!" Su Jingwan hugged Li Su and Li Su was a little puzzled. "What's wrong?"
Su Jingwan's eyes were red. It took her a long time to let go of Li Su. "It's nothing. I'm going to bed now. Good night, mum!" Then, she turned and ran back to her room.
As Su Jingwan lay on her bed, she secretly vowed that she would study hard, and in the future, she would get into a good university, find a good job, and earn a lot of money. She would not let her mother live so frugally. She would be able to buy very expensive skin care products and lots of beautiful clothes.
Li Su didn't know what Su Jingwan had in mind. If she knew, she would probably laugh out loud! She didn't pay much attention to her appearance now. Besides, what was wrong with Dabao? Did she look down on domestic products? The skin care products and sunscreens she used were from Dabao, which were economical and affordable. The effect was also good!
After entering the third year of junior high school, Li Su never asked Su Jingwan to go out to work part-time. Su Jingwan also knew the importance of her third year of junior high school. Although she felt a little regretful that she couldn't continue to make money, she obediently gave up.
A year later, Su Jingwan got first place in the city's exam. Many high schools came to recruit her immediately. Su Jingwan chose the top high school because the top high school promised her that as long as she chose their school, her tuition fees would be waived for three years. In addition, she would get a scholarship if she reached the top ten in each semester.
In addition, as the top scorer in the high school entrance exam, the school would reward her with an extra 10,000 yuan!
Su Jingwan happily handed over the 10,000 yuan to Li Su. "Mum, this isn't bad, right? I've thought about it. I won't be distributing leaflets this summer vacation. Several juniors' and schoolgirls' parents have asked me to help them with their homework. It will be 3,000 yuan a month. If I pick up a few more people to tutor, I can earn a lot!"
Su Jing'an watched enviously from the side. "It turns out that studying really can make money! Mum, older sister, buy me a pair of Nike sneakers! My classmates have them, but I don't."
Li Su glanced at him. "You want me to buy sneakers? I will buy them for you when you get into the top three in the class!"
Seeing this, Su Jingwan smiled. "Jing'an, don't worry. This money can be used for something else. I will buy it for you when I earn money during summer vacation!"
"Older sister, can I hand out flyers? I also want to make some money during the summer vacation." Su Jing'an leaned forward. Su Jing'an just said this casually. He didn't insist on buying sneakers. As for the matter of the piano, his older sister later told him about it. He felt that what his mother and older sister did was right. He shouldn't take advantage of others for no reason.
Su Jingwan looked at Su Jing'an and shook her head. "You are too young, so I think they won't agree. How about this? When you turn 10, older sister will definitely buy you a pair of basketball shoes." If Jing'an liked playing basketball so much, he had to buy a good pair of basketball shoes. She couldn't afford AJ, but she could afford Nike.
Su Jing'an's eyes lit up and he looked at Li Su again. "Is that okay, mum?"
"Of course." Li Su smiled. In this life, Su Jingwan and Su Jing'an were siblings who had a very good relationship. They would only be siblings. To be honest, when she first watched the popular Korean drama in Southeast Asia, she sneered at it. Even if the hero and heroine were not siblings, they lived together as siblings for several years. In the end, the relationship between brother and sister turned into a relationship between a man and a woman. Hehehe…
Su Jing'an made a happy comparison.
Yang Luoluo tugged at his clothes from behind. Su Jing'an turned his head and looked at her. "You scared me. Why haven't you left yet?!" You can't blame him, it's because Yang Luoluo's sense of presence was too low.
"I have money. I'll buy it for you!" Yang Luoluo said seriously.
"No, no, no! It is your own money! If I want to buy something, my mother and older sister will buy it for me. When I grow up and make money, I will buy it myself. Your money is for you! Don't just take it out casually!" Su Jing'an shook his head.
Yang Luoluo felt aggrieved. "Why?" Why didn't older brother Jing'an let her buy things for him?
Su Jing'an felt a little headache coming when he faced Yang Luoluo. She was stubborn. She didn't understand such a simple thing, but the patience he had been accustomed to for many years made Su Jing'an rack his brains to explain things. "I am a man. How can a man let a woman spend money?"
"Then why can auntie and older sister Jingwan do so?" Yang Luoluo asked slowly.
"They are different. They are my relatives. We are a family," Su Jing'an said without thinking.
"I'm also brother Jing'an's family, and I want to buy things for older brother Jing'an too!" Yang Luoluo's eyes were red with grievance.
Su Jing'an wailed. "Older sister, quickly call older sister Lulu and tell her to come back quickly!"
Seeing all this, Li Su and Su Jingwan laughed and gave Su Jing'an a helpless look. Then, they left.
"I'll do the math. There's still a shortfall of 13,000 yuan. With your 10,000 yuan, I can add another 3,000 yuan. Then, I'll pay off all the 100,000 yuan!" Li Su took out the account book. She remembered the time and amount clearly.
Su Jingwan smiled happily. "That's great!"
"So, this summer vacation, there's no need to tire yourself out. I will sign up for a tour group for you and Jing'an. Let's go out and have fun!" Li Su laughed.
Su Jingwan shook her head. "No, mum. I think it's interesting to make money. I also want to lighten mum's burden!"
Li Su thought for a while. This didn't seem to be a bad thing. "Well, don't go to distribute leaflets. It's too hard. It would be good if you could tutor your juniors."
Su Jingwan nodded and smiled. She turned her head to look at the piano. Her eyes narrowed happily. Now this piano was finally and completely hers.
Su Jingwan handed the last 13,000 yuan to Yang Lulu. Yang Lulu threw it into her bag without looking at it. "Lulu, why didn't you count it?!"
"How can I not believe you?!" Yang Lulu handed the paper bag in her hand to Su Jingwan. "Here is a gift for you. The skirt is yours, the bottle of perfume is for auntie, and the T-shirt is your brother's." She went out to travel after the high school entrance examination and just came back from Europe.
Su Jingwan opened it and saw that it was a beautiful dress. She was about to speak.
Yang Lulu rolled her eyes. "It's fine. It's just a small European brand and is not expensive and there was a discount. I bought two similar ones, one for you and one for me. It's a best friend outfit! You aren't allowed to not want it."
Su Jingwan smiled. "Thank you, Lulu!"
"The money for the piano has been paid off, so we don't need to work part-time this summer. Let's go on a trip. Instead of going abroad, let's have fun in China!" Yang Lulu said.
Su Jingwan smiled. "No way. I promised to help a few juniors with homework during summer vacation, so I can't go! Besides, didn't you just come back from Europe?"
Yang Lulu rolled her eyes.
"Okay, don't be angry anymore. Let's go to my house for dinner. My mother will cook today. You are lucky." Su Jingwan smiled.
Since Su Jingwan didn't want to continue this topic, Yang Lulu, as a considerate friend, naturally followed suit. "Really? That's great. By the way, your grandma Zhao is good at everything, but her cooking is not very delicious."
The two returned to Su's house talking and laughing.
Not surprisingly, Yang Lulu saw her younger sister again at the Su family's house. Over the years, as Mother and Father Yang's business grew bigger, there was some negligence in the family. The baby son was naturally different. No matter how busy they were, they took him with them. Yang Lulu was taken care of by her grandparents. Yang Luoluo didn't have a high sense of presence and her grandparents didn't pay much attention to her.
Although Yang Luoluo's reaction was a bit slow, she still knew who was good to her, so she liked staying at Su family's house. Grandpa and grandma didn't bother to take care of her. They gave her enough money to go wherever she wanted.
Yang Lulu also thought it was a good idea, so she simply asked her father to find a relationship to promote Yang Luoluo to Su Jing'an's class. Anyway, her grades were not good, so it didn't matter what grade she was in. She would be in the bottom.
Yang Luoluo was even more indifferent. In order to go to and from school with older brother Jing'an, she stayed at Su family's house for a longer period of time. Apart from sleeping, she could eat three meals a day at the Su family's house.
Yang Lulu took advantage of the situation and gave the Su family 1,000 yuan a month for Yang Luoluo's food expenses. Li Su and Su Jingwan wanted to refuse, but Yang Lulu used the piano as an argument, saying that every yard counted. Li Su and Su Jingwan had no choice but to accept.
"Luo Luo, come here! Older sister has a gift!" Yang Lulu waved.
Yang Luoluo glanced at Su Jing'an first. When she saw Su Jing'an nod, she walked slowly towards Yang Lulu. "Older sister!"
Yang Lulu bent her fingers and tapped her a few times. "Am I your older sister, or is Su Jing'an your older sister? Who do you listen to?"
Yang Lulu didn't control her strength well for a while, so Yang Luoluo's eyes were teary when she was tapped.
Seeing this, Su Jing'an quickly pulled Yang Luoluo aside. "Sister Lulu, stop tapping her. She is already stupid enough!" Then, he lowered his head and asked, "Does it hurt? Are you stupid? You don't know how to dodge her?!"
Yang Luoluo looked at Su Jing'an with teary eyes. "It hurts!"
"Okay, okay, don't cry. I will give you an ice cream later. You can only have one! You can't eat more, okay?" Su Jing'an comforted her.
Yang Luoluo immediately stopped crying. "Really?"
"Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you?!" Su Jing'an muttered.
Yang Luoluo immediately followed Su Jing'an and left the gift and her older sister behind.
Chapter 324 – My Daughter Is Likely A Green Tea (part 13)
Yang Lulu laughed and looked at Su Jingwan. "Jingwan, is this girl extroverted?"
Su Jingwan glanced at her. "What? Do you regret it? Let me tell you that it's too late to regret it. Luoluo belongs to our family now!" She also liked Luoluo a lot. Although she was not smart, she was innocent and pure. It was easy to get along with such a person.
Besides, although the Yang family didn't value Luoluo, as the daughter of the Yang family, the Yang family would give what should be given. As far as Su Jingwan knew now, there were hundreds of thousands of deposits under Yang Luoluo's name. When she became an adult in the future, she would only get more. If Jing'an could really be with Luoluo, it would be a good thing for Jing'an. More importantly, because Yang Luoluo was not bright and she was neglected by the Yang family, it was not likely that her family would use her in a business marriage.
Yang Lulu smiled. This was pretty good, wasn't it?
"It's time to eat!" Li Su came out with a plate. "Jing'an, it's time to eat, so no ice cream for Luoluo. She can eat it in the afternoon!"
Su Jingwan hurried over to help and Yang Lulu also went over.
Li Su glanced at the two of them. She had always been aware of the small thoughts in their hearts. The reason why she didn't intervene was because she sympathised with Yang Luoluo. She also felt that it was better to let nature take its course when it came to feelings. Both Su Jing'an and Yang Luoluo were still children, so what did they know?
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, summer vacation was coming to an end. Su Jingwan's make-up lessons for her juniors would also come to an end. The parents of the students readily settled their pay and even gave her a few hundred yuan more.
Su Jingwan took the money and went to the shopping mall. First, she bought Su Jing'an the basketball shoes he had dreamed of, and then she bought gifts for Grandma Zhao and Luoluo. In the end, she went to the cosmetics counter and carefully selected a set of skin care products for her mother. With the remaining money, she bought a few more sets of clothes for her mother. She was not satisfied until she spent all the money she earned in two months. She then went home with her things.
"Here are your basketball shoes. Grandma Zhao, here is a scarf I bought for you. Luoluo, this headband is for you and this is a music box for your older sister." Back home, Su Jingwan distributed her gifts. "Mum, these skin care products are for you, as well as these clothes and shoes. Do you like them, mum? It is not very expensive. When I have the ability, I will buy the best for you!"
Li Su looked at the pile in front of her. "Is this all for me? What about you?"
Su Jingwan shook her head. "I don't want anything. I still have a lot of clothes. Mum hasn't bought new clothes for a long time. Mum, do you like it?"
Li Su smiled. "I like it! Mum likes it very much!"
Su Jingwan happily gestured at the clothes to Li Su, asking Li Su to try them on.
Su Jing'an sighed faintly. "Older sister, since you've done this, I'm under a lot of pressure! You have done everything! What will I do in the future?"
Su Jingwan tilted her head and smiled. "You? Keep working hard! I hope you won't be outdone by me!"
Su Jing'an nodded. "Don't worry, I won't be compared to you! When I grow up, I will have to do better than you! Mum, I will be filial to you too!"
Yang Luoluo suddenly appeared and looked at Li Su eagerly. "I will too!"
Li Su looked at Yang Luoluo dumbfounded. What was wrong with her, silly child! But, she still patted Yang Luoluo's face gently. "Okay, auntie thanks you!"
Su Jingwan glanced at Su Jing'an, then pursed her lips and smiled. Su Jing'an couldn't bear to look directly at her. Yang Luoluo was an idiot who didn't use her brain before she spoke. Forget it, she had always been like this. Fortunately, he was there. Otherwise, Yang Luoluo would be so stupid that she would suffer incredible losses!
In the evening, Su Jingwan sat at the desk and wrote a study plan.She must study hard and strive to get a good result in the college entrance examination in three years time. Then, her mother could breathe a sigh of relief! She wanted everyone to know that she was a good daughter!
In fact, Su Jingwan did exactly that. She devoted herself to her studies. Even though her friends, including Yang Lulu, talked about a pure and beautiful campus love, she was still unmoved. Even if she received countless love letters and chocolates, she would turn a blind eye.
All this changed until the arrival of a transfer student.
The transfer student was named Luo Heng. On his first day at school, he successfully let everyone know that he liked Su Jingwan.
When choosing a seat, he chose the seat behind Su Jingwan. During class, he didn't look at the blackboard or the teacher, but only looked at Su Jingwan. It was the teacher who noticed it first. After the teacher noticed it, the teacher asked him to get up and answer the questions. Nobody expected that he would get all the answers right. The teacher had no choice but to tell him to listen carefully in class, and then let him sit down.
But he was unmoved. He continued to stare at Su Jingwan with all his attention. Even though she didn't turn around at all, he had a look of satisfaction on his face, as if he wanted to engrave her every move in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, other students in the class also noticed the abnormality of this new transfer student. After they observed him carefully, they were sure that this transfer student had taken a fancy to their class flower.
Some people were jealous and some people were ready to watch the fun. After all, Su Jingwan was devoted to learning and had rejected many admirers. They wanted to see how capable this transfer student was and whether he could impress the heart of the class flower.
Su Jingwan noticed Luo Heng's gaze, but she didn't take it to heart and continued to concentrate on listening to the class. After all, ever since she was a child, she had seen such admiring eyes a lot.
After class, Su Jingwan felt a little thirsty. She touched her schoolbag and found that she didn't bring water. So she moved to get up and go to the canteen to buy a bottle of water.
Suddenly, a pink Hello Kitty thermos was placed on her table. "Drink this. The cup is new and contains lukewarm water." Luo Heng looked at Su Jingwan with a smile. He knew that Jingwan didn't like to drink beverages. She only liked to drink warm water. It was because her mother once told her that drinking warm water was good for the body. Even though she was abandoned by her mother later, Jingwan still kept her mother's words in her heart.
Su Jingwan looked at the thermos, then at Luo Heng. She shook her head slightly. "Thank you, but there's no need." There was one more class left. She would drink when she got home.
"Student Su Jingwan, I don't have any malicious intent. Drink it. If you feel thirsty, then your body is dehydrated. If you don't drink water immediately, it will be bad for your health. Drink it!" Luo Heng persuaded patiently.
Su Jingwan looked at him, but she didn't reach out to take the thermos.
There was a flash of hurt in Luo Heng's eyes. He came back, but Jingwan didn't. He still remembered everything between them, but Jingwan didn't. It was normal for Jingwan to guard against him like this, but why did he still feel sad?
Seeing this, Su Jingwan suddenly couldn't bear it. After thinking about it, she reached for the thermos , opened it and took a sip. "Thank you. How much was this thermos cup?"
Luo Heng's eyes lit up. "It's not expensive. It was forty-seven yuan."
Su Jingwan took a closer look. The workmanship and shape of this thermos was really good. No matter how you looked at it, it would be more than forty-seven yuan. She remained calm, took out her wallet from her schoolbag, and handed 50 yuan to Luo Heng.
Luo Heng didn't accept it. "I don't have change with me. Why don't you add me on WeChat and transfer the money to me?"
Su Jingwan smiled slightly, took out her mobile phone, and added Luo Heng as a friend.
Luo Heng was very happy at first, but when he saw the mobile phone Su Jingwan was using, he frowned slightly. Didn't his investigation say that Jingwan's adoptive mother was very kind to Jingwan? Why did Jingwan use such a cheap cell phone?
Su Jingwan added Luo Heng as a friend, then transferred the money to him. She put away her phone, turned around, and continued reading.
Luo Heng was thinking about how he could give Jingwan a new phone. Jingwan was a good girl. She would definitely not take anything given to her for no reason. He knew Jingwan well. When Jingwan offered him money, he accepted it without hesitation.
What kind of reason could he use? Her birthday? No, Jingwan's birthday was half a year away. Were there any holidays coming up? It wouldn't work. They hadn't known each other for long, so Jingwan would definitely not accept a cell phone as a gift.
Or, he could start with Jingwan's adoptive mother.
Luo Heng's eyes lit up. He picked up his phone and tapped it. After sending a WeChat message, he felt relieved. He glanced at Su Jingwan again, and opened Su Jingwan's Moments.
Jingwan's Moments didn't have much content. Her profile picture was a family picture of her, her adoptive mother, and younger brother. In the photo, she was smiling happily. In his memory, Luo Heng rarely saw Jingwan smiling so happily.
In fact, Luo Heng had always known that, even if she was abandoned by her adoptive mother, even if she had a hard life afterwards, Jingwan always loved her adoptive mother. She longed for the warmth of a family more than anyone else, which was why she was so filial to his parents. She was eager to have a family. But Luo Heng knew that no matter how well he and his parents did, they still couldn't replace Jingwan's adoptive mother's position in her heart. When Jingwan died, she was still calling for her mother. Whenever Luo Heng thought of it, his heart ached.
In his previous life, Luo Heng died loving Jingwan. When he died, his son had grown up and successfully inherited the company. He had no regrets. He didn't expect to wake up after and find that he was 17 years old. At that time, he hadn't met Jingwan yet and it wasn't too late yet.
Luo Heng immediately asked people to investigate where Jingwan was now. This time, he must protect Jingwan! But when he looked at the results of the investigation, Luo Heng couldn't believe it. In this life, Jingwan's adoptive mother did not abandon her. Although their family lived in poverty, they lived harmoniously and beautifully.
Jingwan did not suffer from those unbearable hardships. Everything looked great.
Luo Heng quickly accepted this fact. What could be more important than Jingwan? Jingwan was well and happy. Wasn't that what he wanted to see the most? As long as Jingwan was happy, he didn't care about anything!
Over there, when Li Su was about to get off work, she was called to the director's office. She looked at the cell phone in front of her and was dumbfounded. "I won the lottery? When did this happen? Why can't I remember when I bought a lottery ticket?"
Director Ke smiled awkwardly. "Hehe. The last time we went out for dinner, the mall was selling lottery tickets at the end of the day and we bought them all! In the end, you were the luckiest, and the others only won toothbrushes and towels. The next best was an electric fan. It was only you who got an iPhone."
Li Su thought about it carefully. Such a thing did happen, but it happened more than two months ago. Why did it show up now…
"Hehe. The people in the logistics department forgot. I just saw it during the inventory yesterday. Those pair of lottery tickets belonged to you, so I sent the prize here quickly. You should put it away and not let the others see them, or they will make a fuss and ask you to treat them," Director Ke said, increasingly more naturally.
Li Su laughed, put the phone in her bag, and quietly took it back.
Chapter 325 – My Daughter Is Likely A Green Tea (part 14)
Li Su always felt that something was wrong, so she quietly asked others. "Sister Hong, do you remember the last time we had a dinner together and went to the mall to buy lottery tickets?"
"I remember! Why? Did you win the draw too? I won three boxes of Zhonghua toothpaste. I just went to get it from Old Huang. Zhang Shuyun was lucky and won the electric fan. Her fan just broke down. Her luck is good. She doesn't have to buy a new one and she can save," Yang Hong said hastily.
"How good is a free electric fan? Maybe it will break after a while," another colleague said.
"You are just jealous that someone won an electric fan and you only won a pack of toilet paper!" Yang Hong said angrily.
"I'm jealous of her? Hehe, what a joke! I don't even use electric fans at home. I just turn on the air conditioner!" The other party said while rolling his eyes.
After hearing this, Li Su pulled up the zipper of the bag. She understood why Director Ke said to hide her prize. Someone won just an electric fan and some of the others in the office couldn't stand it. If they knew that she had won a cell phone, they would be green with envy!
On the way home, Li Su looked at her phone. It was a 64gb iPhone 6s. She was used to the big-screen phones of the later generations. This 6s was very compact in her hand. Li Su herself had no plans to change her cell phone. Her Nokia was very good and she felt that she could use it for several more years. On the other hand, it was inconvenient for Jingwan to check information on her Samsung phone. She would let Jingwan use it!
After returning home, Li Su knocked on Su Jingwan's door. She handed the phone to Su Jingwan.
"Mum!" Su Jingwan exclaimed in surprise. "My cell phone works perfectly fine. Why did you buy me a cell phone?!"
"I didn't buy it. I won it from a draw. Look, there are bags from the shopping mall!" Li Su explained. "Mum doesn't need it and your brother is still a primary school student, so he doesn't need it either. It's for you. It's also convenient for you to use it to learn English, look up information, and so on."
Su Jingwan was still a little puzzled. How could such a coincidence happen? However, her mother said so, so it should be fine.
"But mum, I can still use my cell phone. You should use this cell phone yourself! Who still uses a Nokia now?!" Su Jingwan handed the cell phone back.
"I don't like surfing the internet, so why would I want this? You can use it! Later, you can look online and buy a cell phone case! Apple phones are good quality. If you look after it carefully, you can use it for several years!" Li Su said. "That's all. I'm going to take a shower."
Li Su closed the door and left, leaving Su Jingwan to look at the brand new cell phone. She finally replaced her old one with the new one.
The next day, when Su Jingwan was doing her homework, she accidentally revealed her new phone.
Su Jingwan's deskmate was a little excited when she saw her change to an iPhone. "You have the iPhone 6s, Jingwan? Your mother is so generous!"
"She didn't buy it. My mother won a draw." Su Jingwan felt a little embarrassed and put the phone back.
The deskmate said, "Even if your mother won the lottery, she still gave the cell phone to you. Your mother is so kind, unlike my mother. When I asked her to buy me a cell phone, she refused, saying that it would delay my studies. Jingwan, your mother is so kind to you!"
Su Jingwan smiled and nodded. "Mm, my mother treats me really well."
Luo Heng, who was behind, saw her satisfied smile and also smiled. It was fine as long as she was happy!
The other students in the class thought that Luo Heng would pursue Su Jingwan, but Luo Heng did not do anything. He only attended and left class on time every day, and occasionally exchanged a few words with Su Jingwan.
Luo Heng knew that Jingwan had good grades in her studies. In her previous life, she was unable to go to college due to various reasons. At the same time, it was also the reason why she was not recognised by his parents and was criticised when she was with him in the first place. If Jingwan hadn't treated his parents with her kindness and sincerity in the end, they would not have been able to get together.
In this life, Luo Heng only hoped that everything would go well for Jingwan and that she could be happy.
On this day, Luo Heng sent Su Jingwan a WeChat message: 'I have a few sets of test papers from XX city, some of which are not bad. Do you want them?' He also took a few pictures of the test papers and sent them over. He knew that Jingwan would definitely be interested.
A minute later, Su Jingwan wrote back: 'If it's convenient, can you lend me a photocopy? Thank you!'
"You don't need to photocopy it. You can just take it and use them. I don't need them. Where is your home? I'll send it to you! It's inconvenient to be at school tomorrow morning." Luo Heng smiled slightly. He actually knew the address of the Su family's house, but he hoped that Jingwan could tell him herself.
Two minutes later, Su Jingwan texted back: 'Okay, my home is in building XX, XX community. Send me a message when you arrive.'
Luo Heng smiled, picked up his phone, carried the bag of papers, and left.
Twenty minutes later, Luo Heng appeared downstairs at Su Jingwan's house and sent her a WeChat message: 'I'm here.'
After a while, Su Jingwan went downstairs.
"Good evening!" Luo Heng walked over.
Su Jingwan was a little embarrassed. "Good evening."
Luo Heng handed over the bag. "These are the test papers. You can take them. I will bring you new test papers when they come out."
Su Jingwan took the papers and immediately took them out to have a look. They were indeed the papers that the teacher had said. She looked focussed and full of joy.
"I really don't know how to thank you. But, don't you need it yourself?" Su Jingwan looked at Luo Heng.
"I'm from XX City. I've done these papers before. By the way, here is a small cake. You can eat it when you're hungry after studying the papers at night. It's cold, and you don't have much to wear. You should go back in quickly!" Luo Heng laughed. He handed the small cake in his right hand to Su Jingwan, turned around, and was about to leave.
"Hey, wait a minute. Wait five minutes for me. I'll be right back." Su Jingwan thought for a while, then raised her head. Then, she went upstairs with her things.
Luo Heng really stood there and waited.
Five minutes later, Su Jingwan came downstairs carrying an insulated lunch box. "This is corn, tomato and beef soup. Drink some to warm your body! Thank you!"
Luo Heng looked a little excited. In his previous life, because he was not in good health, Jingwan learned to make some nourishing soup and got him to drink it every day. In one winter, his complexion became rosy. It was because of this that his mother slowly changed her views on Jingwan. Of course he knew that this corn, tomato and beef soup couldn't have been made by Jingwan, but did Jingwan giving some to him meant that she was a little closer to him, right?
"Thank you. I will drink it all." Luo Heng took the insulated lunch box. "It's cold, hurry up and go back inside!"
Su Jingwan said kindly, "Be careful on the road."
Luo Heng watched Su Jingwan go upstairs. He then smiled and walked out of the community with his lunch box in his arms. It so happened that Li Su came back from overtime and passed by Luo Heng.
Li Su didn't stop walking, but she was a little puzzled. The insulated lunch box that the person was holding just now seemed familiar!
Li Su went upstairs while thinking.
"I'm back!" Li Su said softly.
Su Jingwan heard a voice coming out of the room. "Mum, you are back? Grandma Zhao and Jing'an have already fallen asleep. Are you hungry? Grandma Zhao made soup. Would you like a bowl?"
Li Su touched the fat on her stomach. She hesitated for a moment, trying to decide if she should have some or not. Finally, she surrendered. "Okay, I'll have a bowl." Aunt Zhao's cooking was not good, but her soups had improved greatly in recent years.
Su Jingwan turned around and went to the kitchen to fill up two bowls of soup. The mother and daughter sat opposite each other and drank the soup.
After finishing the soup, Li Su stood up. "Let me wash the bowls! Don't you need to sleep?"
"My classmate gave me a few papers, which are pretty good. I wanted to study one, then go to bed after. Mum, you can take a shower and sleep first. Don't worry about me. I will definitely go to bed before eleven o'clock," Su Jingwan said with a smile.
Li Su nodded, then took a paper bag out from her bag. "On the way back, I saw an old man selling roasted sweet potatoes on the side of the road, so I bought one. If you are hungry, eat some. The soup is quite light, so it may not be enough."
Su Jingwan took the paper bag with a smile. "Thank you, mum!"
After Su Jingwan returned to her room, she put the roasted sweet potatoes aside and buried herself in the paper. An hour passed without Su Jingwan noticing. She raised her head. As expected of a famous teacher's famous paper. The difficulty and breadth of this topic were much higher than those of the number 1 middle school. Su Jingwan put down her pen, turned to the answers at the back, and began to check the questions. She wanted to know how many points she could get in this test.
When she calculated her final score, Su Jingwan was a little dissatisfied. She only scored 135 points on the 150-point math paper! This was probably the gap! But Su Jingwan refused to admit defeat. Give her some more time and she would definitely do better.
Su Jingwan rubbed her stomach, feeling a little hungry. Her eyes lingered for a few seconds between her mother's roasted sweet potatoes and Luo Heng's pastries. She chose the roasted sweet potatoes without hesitation!
After eating the roasted sweet potatoes, Su Jingwan looked at her phone. It was already half past ten. She washed up quickly, then plugged in her earphones, turned off the lights and went to bed. She listened to English for half an hour before she slowly fell asleep.
When Su Jingwan woke up the next morning, she looked at the cake. After thinking about it, she gave it to Su Jing'an. "Do you want to eat this? If you want it, then take it!"
Su Jing'an's eyes lit up. "This cake has a wonderful taste. It's so expensive. Mum is so partial. You only buy it for older sister!"
Su Jingwan gave him a blank look. "Is this your catchphrase? You say it all the time. Mum didn't buy this cake. My classmate did. My mother bought baked sweet potatoes last night, but you were already asleep at the time, so I ate it. This is to compensate you."
Su Jing'an giggled. "I just said that casually. Older sister, if you really don't want to eat it, then I will eat it!"
Su Jingwan hummed. Losing weight was a woman's lifelong pursuit. There was too much sugar in the cake, and she would feel a heavy burden on her heart. Unlike roasted sweet potatoes, she could comfort herself by saying that it was a coarse grain and she wouldn't gain weight.
When Su Jing'an saw that she really didn't want to eat it, he immediately started to eat it happily.
Aunt Zhao came out of the kitchen. "Hey, where is our insulated lunch box? Why is it missing?"
Su Jingwan felt a little uncomfortable. "Grandma Zhao, you don't need to look for it. I used that lunch box."
Li Su came out of the bathroom. "It must be the boy from last night. At that time, I thought the lunch box in his arms looked familiar. It really belongs to our family!"
Su Jingwan was a little surprised, but she still told the truth. "He is a new transfer student from our class. He came to give me papers. I saw that it was cold outside. Since I troubled him, I gave him a box filled with soup."
Li Su nodded. "That's fine. That's what you should do. What papers are these? Are they hard to get?"
"Mm, they are test papers from XX city. The teacher said they are very good. My classmate just got it, so he gave me a copy," Su Jingwan said.
Chapter 326 – My Daughter Is Likely A Green Tea (part 15)
Li Su didn't say anything, but Su Jing'an winked at Su Jingwan. Since childhood, his older sister's suitors had never stopped. As her younger brother, he also benefited a lot, even with that idiot, Yang Luoluo.
However, he stood firm and was never bought off by sugar-coated bullets.
Su Jingwan glared at Su Jing'an when she saw that he was being honest. She turned to look at Li Su and was quietly relieved when she saw that she didn't say anything else.
In fact, she knew that the transfer student liked her. Otherwise, why would he send her papers and cakes at night? If it was something else valuable, she would not accept it because she was afraid that her mother would be unhappy if she found out. The piano incident from last time was still fresh in her memory.
But she really needed these papers, so she took them.
Fortunately, mum was not angry.
Li Su didn't think too much about it. There were classmates who helped each other.
Luo Heng behaved normally after arriving at school. He didn't say anything about returning the lunch box. Su Jingwan didn't even have a chance to thank him.
During the exercise between classes, Su Jingwan received a WeChat message from Luo Heng, asking if she had done a paper last night and how she felt.
Su Jingwan thought for a while, then bowed her head and replied, 'I only did a paper on mathematics, and it was very good. The topic is very novel. Thank you!'
Luo Heng smiled. "This is the monthly exam paper. I will get it next month. I'll bring it to you if you need it. By the way, I have cleaned that lunch box and will send it to you tonight! The soup was very delicious. Thank you."
Su Jingwan thought for a long time, and then sent: 'Okay.'
At 8 that night, Luo Heng appeared downstairs again at the Su family 's house. In addition to returning the lunch box, he brought a small cake. "Did you like the honey mousse last time? This time I brought a Black Forest. It tastes good and you shouldn't gain weight easily from this."
Su Jingwan didn't answer. "I've already thanked you for bringing me this paper. I don't need this cake. I don't have anything to give you."
"Who said you had nothing? Your soup tasted very good. I haven't had such good home-cooked soup for a long time. Is there any more? If there is, please give me some more. This time, I brought my own lunch box," Luo Heng said with a grin.
Su Jingwan looked at him, then said after a long time, "Yes, wait here." After speaking, she took the lunch box and prepared to go upstairs.
"Wait a minute. Take the cake!" Under the light, Luo Heng smiled softly.
Su Jingwan reached out to take the cake, turned around, then went upstairs.
Luo Heng watched Su Jingwan leave, content. Su Jingwan lowered her head and wondered what he was thinking. Li Su came back and saw her standing at the entrance of the corridor in a daze. Li Su walked up and waved her hand in front of Su Jingwan. "Jingwan, What are you thinking about? Isn't it cold out here?"
"Mum! Why are you so early today?" Su Jingwan came back to her senses. She quickly took Li Su's arm, and the mother and daughter walked back.
"Is it the classmate who gave you the papers again?" Li Su asked.
"Mm. He came to return the lunch box. He said our soup was delicious and he wanted to drink it, but this time he brought his own lunch box." Su Jingwan was a little embarrassed. "He also brought me a small cake."
Li Su smiled and said, "That's fine. Are his parents not around?"
"It seems so. His parents are in XX city. He didn't know why he was transferred here." Su Jingwan said softly. At the same time, a strange thought came to her heart. Could it be because of her that he transferred here? Then she smiled and shook her head. She thought this idea was too ridiculous. She was so narcissistic. Did she think that she was the heroine of a romance drama?
"No wonder. It's nothing. Anyway, your Grandma Zhao cooks soup every day. If your classmate wants to eat some, then he can come and get it," Li Su said with a smile.
"Mm." Su Jingwan nodded.
The two of them had no interaction at school during the day, even though everyone could tell that Luo Heng liked Su Jingwan. But at night, when the time came, the two of them would be downstairs at the Su family's house. One would bring cake, the other, soup. After a few words, Luo Heng went back, satisfied.
One night, Luo Heng was drinking soup while watching a video of Su Jingwan that he secretly filmed on his cell phone. Suddenly, a video invitation popped up on the screen of his cell phone.
Luo Heng connected the call. "Hey son? How are you doing lately? Yeah, are you drinking soup? Who cooked it? Son, mum told you that the things outside aren't clean and that you should not eat them. If you want to drink soup, then mum will hire an aunt for you tomorrow to cook soup for you!"
If it was before, Luo Heng would definitely hang up the video impatiently. But, under the influence of Jingwan, he had already learned how to get along with his parents. "Mum, you have so many questions. Which one do you want me to answer?!"
"Okay, okay. Mum won't talk anymore. You should talk. Talk!"
"I'm fine. Mum, you don't have to worry. You don't need to hire another aunt. There are too many people and it's annoying. It's fine now," Luo Heng said patiently.
"That's good, that's good. Son, when are you planning on coming back? Didn't you say you were going over there to relax?" Mother Luo carefully observed her son's face.
"Go back? Why do I have to go back when I'm living here well? I will be alone if I go back. You are performing abroad, and dad is busy with company affairs. No one here knows who I am, and I get along very well with my classmates. I won't go back!" The reason why Luo Heng transferred here was because he didn't get along well with his classmates at school before. He was injured and hospitalised because of it. Luo Heng just came back at that time and took the opportunity to propose to transfer here.
Luo Heng lived here with his grandfather for a while when he was a child. It was a famous livable city with beautiful mountains, clear waters, and an elegant environment.
Mother and Father Luo thought about it for a few days and agreed.
Mother Luo sighed after hearing this. "Okay, mum will go back to China next week. I will see you then. If you need anything, remember to call your parents. Later, mum will transfer some money to you. If you need anything, go buy it. Don't wrong yourself."
"Understood. Mum, you should also pay attention to your health and take care of yourself when you are abroad," Luo Heng instructed.
When Mother Luo heard this, she was very upset. "Okay, mum will hang up. Goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, Mother Luo sighed. "What do you think happened to our son?"
"What else could it be? He fell in love with a female student!" Father Luo was sitting on the opposite sofa.
"But, they haven't met before." Mother Luo was full of doubts, but she still picked up her phone and transferred money to her son.
"Probably because she's pretty. It's human nature. I've had someone investigate that girl. She's clean. She's good at studying and she's good-looking. The most important thing is that she is dedicated to learning, clean, and self-disciplined. She's a good girl. She's much better than those girls before. Besides, you have also seen that the relationship between them is that of just ordinary classmates. Our son has an unrequited love." Seeing this, Father Luo picked up his cell phone and ordered the secretary to transfer some money to his son.
"Aren't I afraid of delaying my son?" Mother Luo said.
"Because of the injury, our son took a break from school for half a year. Now he is just right. Besides, Luo Heng is smart, so he will definitely be fine with his studies. You have to trust him!" Father Luo picked up his phone and stood up. "Okay, I have a plane to Germany to catch for business discussions, so I'll go first. Take care of your health and take good care of yourself."
"You too." Mother Luo stood up. After a short hug, the husband and wife separated.
Mother Luo sighed. The husband and wife hadn't seen each other for more than a month, and when they finally met this time, they didn't stay together for more than twenty minutes. This kind of family raised Luo Heng with an indifferent personality. This was the first time she saw him being so enthusiastic about a person.
Mother Luo looked at the table, which was covered with photos. In one of them, under the dim streetlight, the boy looked at the girl opposite him with a smile on his face. He was holding a lunch box in his hand.
Forget it. If this girl could make her son laugh like this. Then she, as a mother, would not be a villain.
Originally, children's love was whimsical and it wouldn't last long. Besides, a child as old as her son had a rebellious mentality. The more you didn't let him do something, the more he would do it! It was better to let nature take its course and avoid destroying the relationship between mother and child.
Luo Heng didn't pay much attention to his parents. In his previous life, Jingwan was nothing and had nothing. In the end, she won the hearts of his parents with her own charisma. What's more, in this life, Jingwan was so good, so she would be fine!
Luo Heng was very confident in Jingwan's interpersonal skills!
Luo Heng looked affectionately at Su Jingwan on the phone and smiled.
The semester was coming to an end soon. Su Jingwan was still the first in class and first in grade. Luo Heng also had good grades. He was ninth in class and thirty-first in grade.
Everyone could see Luo Heng's state in class. He did his homework very perfunctorily. Just like that, he unexpectedly got such an excellent result. This surprised many people.
Among these people, only Su Jingwan was not surprised. As she interacted with Luo Heng these days, she knew that Luo Heng's results weren't just a one-time thing. He could easily solve some problems that she thought were too difficult. The gap between her and Luo Heng was not small. It was a fluke that she was the first.
But Su Jingwan did not admit defeat. She would definitely try her best to catch up. She wanted to be number one.
When Su Jingwan came home, she happened to see Li Su rubbing her forehead. "What's wrong, mum?"
"Ask that brat!" Li Su said angrily.
Su Jingwan looked at Su Jing'an and Yang Luoluo, who were standing beside them silently. She saw the report card on the table: Chinese 99, full marks in mathematics, and full marks in English. "You did pretty well in the exam? What's wrong?" Then, she looked to the side. Although Yang Luoluo's report card was not very good, she passed anyway.
"It's not bad to be number one in the class, but this stupid kid got into a fight at school because the other party said bad things about Luoluo." Li Su rubbed her forehead.
Yang Luoluo flinched. She unconsciously grabbed Su Jing'an's sleeve, wanting to hide behind Su Jing'an. Su Jing'an took a step forward, protecting Yang Luoluo behind him. "It has nothing to do with Luoluo. It was Yan Tingwei who went too far. He said Luoluo is a fool, an idiot! Tsk, he doesn't have much higher points than Luoluo himself. How is he qualified to say that to Luoluo!"
"Even if the other party was at fault first, you can't just fight with someone just because you disagree!" Li Su said angrily.
Su Jing'an raised his head. "Luoluo is with me. I have the responsibility to protect her and not let people bully her! Otherwise, how can I be the boss?!"
Li Su laughed back angrily. Just as she was about to speak, Su Jingwan received a call from Yang Lulu. She then said with a smile, "Mum, Lulu called and said that we should not worry. It has been dealt with. Children fighting is normal. If you still feel sorry, just buy something and go to his house to apologise. In the end, the other party was at fault in this matter."
"One person does the work and the other person is responsible. If I want to make an apology, I will do it!" Su Jing'an said.
"This is a bit manly!" Li Su rolled her eyes and smiled. She didn't take it seriously at first. It was Su Jing'an's fault for beating someone. They could apologise, but she didn't think that Su Jingwan was wrong.
If the other party's parents were not forgiving, she was not afraid. If the other party's parents didn't care about it, then it would be the best outcome. She also didn't mind taking the initiative to apologise so the two sides could turn the fight into friendship.
Chapter 327 – My Daughter Is Likely A Green Tea (part 16)
When Li Su took Su Jing'an to apologise, the other's parents were very kind and friendly. After all, the Yang family had already looked for them in advance. Su Jing'an did this for Yang Luoluo's sake. Yang Luoluo did not have any sense of existence, and she was also a child of the Yang family. If she was pointed at and scolded, the Yang family would naturally not ignore her.
The fight ended just like that, but Su Jingwan assigned Su Jing'an a lot of homework during the winter vacation. It saved him from having nowhere to vent his excess energy.
Su Jing'an dared not speak out about this. He could only cry and scribble on the table.
Yang Luoluo also went home and Luo Heng went back on the 28th.
But late on the night of the twenty-ninth, Su Jingwan received a call asking her to go downstairs to get a cake. Su Jingwan went downstairs, suspicious. It was an employee of the cake shop, holding a box of small cakes. "Are you Ms. Su Jingwan? Here are some cakes that Mr. Luo Heng ordered for you. Please take them."
Su Jingwan took the cake, turned around, and went upstairs. After returning to her room, she took out her cell phone and sent a message to Luo Heng: 'Did you send the cake?'
As in the past, Luo Heng replied almost instantly: 'I asked the cake shop to deliver some to you. You can eat it without worries!'
Su Jingwan snorted, not knowing what to say. It took a long time before she sent out: 'Thank you.'
Luo Heng smiled, and immediately replied: 'Mm, wait for me to come back!'
Su Jingwan suddenly felt a little heat on her cheeks. She quickly sent a message: 'Who's waiting for you to come back!'
But even if she had thrown her phone, Su Jingwan was sitting at her desk. She was unable to calm down and read her book. She looked around and felt that the cake had disturbed her. She stood up, took the cake, and knocked on Su Jing'an's door.
"As you have been well-behaved recently, I'll reward you." Su Jingwan put the cake on Su Jingan's table and tapped on the table with her fingers. "Sit up straight and write better!"
Su Jing'an put down his pen and picked up the cake. "What do you mean you are 'rewarding me'? This was clearly sent by your suitor. You gave it to me because you are afraid of gaining weight. Don't think that I don't know that."
Su Jingwan glanced at him. "Can't you stop talking with food in your mouth?"
Su Jing'an quickly took a bite of the cake, then shut up.
After Su Jingwan returned to her room, she looked around and felt that there was nothing bothering her anymore, so she finally settled down to read a book.
On New Year's Eve, Li Su's family of three had a reunion dinner and sat on the sofa to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Li Su and Su Jingwan's cell phones rang non-stop. They were all WeChat messages from friends sending them New Year's greetings. Su Jing'an sat on the side and enviously said, "Mum, can you also buy me a cell phone? You and older sister both have cell phones, but I don't."
Li Su just finished calling Aunt Zhao for New Year's greetings. When she heard those words, she glanced at him and just said, "Hehe."
"Mum, you can't show such favouritism. Older sister had a phone watch when she was a child, and a cell phone in junior high school, but I don't have anything." Su Jing'an pestered Li Su.
"If you want a phone watch, I'll buy one for you tomorrow," Li Su said perfunctorily.
"Why do I need a phone watch? I'm not a child anymore. Mum, I want a cell phone. Buy me a cell phone," Su Jing'an said.
"Your sister bought a mobile phone to study, learn English, and look up information. You already have a student computer, so why do you need a mobile phone?" Li Su sent out the edited New Year's greeting to the WeChat group, put down the phone and looked at Su Jing'an.
Su Jing'an stopped talking. He couldn't say that the reason why he wanted a cell phone was because the specifications of the student computer were not high enough to play Honour of Kings1!
Su Jingwan put down her phone. "Didn't you promise that you would only play games for an hour every day? If you really want a phone, I can…"
"No!" Li Su stopped Su Jingwan's next words. "He is not as self-disciplined as you. If you give him a cell phone, he will definitely play secretly at night without sleeping."
Then, she looked at Su Jing'an. "Be good, otherwise, I'll shut down the internet at home so that you won't be able to play."
"Tch! If you don't want to give me one, then don't. I don't care!" Su Jing'an just said that casually. He didn't expect his mother to actually buy him a cell phone. However, he also understood that what his mother was doing was actually for his own good. He was really inferior to his older sister in regards to self-control.
His older sister was really a very self-disciplined person. That's why she was so outstanding!
"Older sister, then can you lend me your phone to play for a while? Today is Chinese New Year." Su Jing'an giggled.
"Wait a minute, I need to send a message." Su Jingwan originally wanted to send a message to Luo Heng, telling him that she was going to lend her phone to her younger brother to play games so that she would stop sending WeChat messages. But, she was afraid that her actions would make Luo Heng misunderstand, so she thought about it and deleted half of the information.
Then, she handed the phone to Su Jing'an.
Su Jing'an took the phone, opened Honour of Kings very skillfully, and started playing.
Li Su watched from the side, shook her head, and said, "I really don't know what's so interesting about Honour of Kings. People are obsessed with it."
Su Jingwan smiled and said, "Jing'an won't be addicted to games. Besides, I'm watching."
Li Su nodded. Su Jing'an was not raised badly in the novel, nor was he now. Although he was a little naughty and jumpy, he was essentially a good boy. "Is there nothing to watch in this year's Spring Festival Gala? Are there any celebrities you like?"
Su Jingwan shook her head. She wasn't very interested in entertainment stars. As for the Spring Festival Gala, she just watched it for the excitement.
Li Su didn't like watching the Spring Festival Gala very much either. In the end, the mother and daughter took a deck of cards and played 24 Puzzle2 against the background of the joyous and festive music of the Spring Festival Gala.
Originally, Su Jing'an started playing Honour of Kings. However, when he saw his mother and older sister playing 24 Puzzle and having fun, Su Jing'an felt a little uncomfortable. He felt a little out of place. The cell phone game didn't seem to be that fun anymore.
Su Jing'an simply quit the game after finishing and threw the phone aside. "I want to play too!"
Su Jingwan smiled. "Okay, let's play together!"
Li Su also laughed. "Whoever loses will get a sticker!"
The 3 of them happily played together.
They played until after midnight and the person who lost the most was actually Li Su. Li Su looked at the stickers all over her face and couldn't believe it. It was fine to lose to Jingwan since she was a high school student, and she was at the most knowledgeable time in her life. It was fine if she couldn't compare, but she didn't expect to not be able to compare to Su Jing'an, a primary school student! It made no sense!
Li Su seriously doubted whether this child cheated.
Su Jing'an giggled, pasted the last piece of paper on his mother's face, and stood up. "Mum, older sister, I'm sleepy. I'm going to wash up and go to bed!" Then, he ran away.
Li Su stared after Su Jing'an. "That little hoodlum."
Su Jingwan smiled and helped Li Su take off the note on her face. She then wiped her face with a tissue.
Li Su nodded happily and said, "You are still the most obedient. You are much more obedient than your younger brother."
Su Jingwan smiled.
Li Su got up and went to the bathroom to wash her face. Su Jingwan saw her cell phone that had been thrown aside. She picked it up, opened WeChat, and saw that Luo Heng sent a message. 'Are you there? Have you eaten dumplings? I got a gold coin. I will give it to you later. I hope the new year will bring you luck.
It's a pity that we can't set off fireworks now. The fireworks in previous years were very beautiful.
What are you doing? Watching the Spring Festival Gala? I'm watching it too.
Jingwan, Happy New Year! I hope all goes well for you and that your wishes come true!'
Su Jingwan thought for a while as she held her cell phone. She then replied: 'I was playing 24 Puzzle with my mother and younger brother just now, and I didn't look at my phone. Happy New Year!'
After the WeChat was sent, Su Jingwan made a move to go back to her room. She thought that it would be too late and that Luo Heng should have gone to bed. She didn't expect that, just as she stood up, a WeChat message from Luo Heng would arrive.
'Happy New Year, Jingwan. Haven't you slept yet?'
Su Jingwan pursed her lips and smiled. She turned and went back to her room. Just as she was about to close the door, she remembered something and poked her head out. "Mum, I'm going to sleep first!"
"Wait a minute! I haven't given you the New Year's money yet!" Li Su hurried out of the bathroom, took out the red packets that she had prepared, handed it to Su Jingwan, and knocked on Su Jingan's door. "Stinky boy, here is your New year's money. Save it. Don't just buy things!"
"Thank you, mum, you are so kind!" Su Jing'an leaned forward and kissed Li Su. He then went in with a happy smile as he held the red envelope.
Li Su shook her head with a smile, yawned, and went to sleep.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the three of them went out to watch New Year's movies. On the second day of the new year, the three of them went to Aunt Zhao's house with some things.
When the three of them went, the atmosphere was a bit awkward. Aunt Zhao's son, Wang Lang, seemed relieved to see them coming. "Sister Jiang, you are here. Please come in."
Aunt Zhao was sitting on the sofa with a straight face. When she heard the movement and saw the three of them arrive, she immediately beamed with joy. "Little Jiang, Jingwan Jing'an, you are here! Come in! A-Lang, quickly pour some tea and get some drinks."
Sitting on the sofa next to him was a handsome man with gentle eyes. Seeing this, he also stood up and said, "Then I'll wash some fruit!"
Li Su recognized that the man was Wang Lang's friend, Xiao Wen. They have had dinner together before.
Wang Lang glanced at Aunt Zhao, then at Li Su, with a pleading expression on his face. Li Su understood and nodded to him. Wang Lang smiled gratefully. "Mum, I'll pour tea." He turned around and went into the kitchen.
Aunt Zhao greeted her. "Sit down quickly. Take whatever you want to eat. There's no need to be polite. Just treat it like your own home."
Su Jingwan and Su Jing'an were not polite. They sat down with a smile.
Li Su quietly pulled Aunt Zhao aside. "Auntie, aren't you okay with it? What's wrong?"
Aunt Zhao looked towards the kitchen angrily when she heard the words. "I am okay with it. I just didn't expect for that kid with no prospects is actually the one on the bottom! He is so tall and burly, but he is the one on the bottom. That really…"
Aunt Zhao became angry when she thought about it. She originally thought that her son was tall and burly, 1. metres tall. Even if they were the same height, he must at least be the one on top! It turned out that he enjoyed being crushed by a gentle and thin man! She was so pissed off! A good daughter-in-law had become a son-in-law!
Li Su almost couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Auntie, you are so cute!"
Aunt Zhao couldn't help but laugh. "Forget it. I've agreed to leave their affairs alone. Why is he so sullen?! I'll go back tomorrow and pretend I did not see anything!"
"Okay, it just so happens that I miss the soup auntie makes!" Li Su laughed.
In the kitchen, Wang Lang and Xiao Wen heard laughter coming from outside. Wang Lang poked his head out halfway, and heaved a sigh of relief. "It's fortunate that Sister Jiang is here, otherwise…"
Xiao Wen lowered his head and smiled. He pushed his glasses up with his fingers, but what he said was completely contrary to his gentle appearance. "Since auntie cares about this, then I'll let you be on top next time?"
Wang Lang rolled his eyes at him. "Get lost!"

Chapter 328 – My Daughter Is Likely A Green Tea (part 17)
The next day, Aunt Zhao came back. Behind her was Wang Lang, who was carrying bags of all sizes. Li Su saw that he had brought back all the things he had brought yesterday. It added up to a lot.
Li Su smiled helplessly. "Auntie, what are you doing?"
"Oh, he's going on a trip with Little Xiao soon. He won't be back for half a month, so there's no point keeping these things at home if they are going to go bad." Aunt Zhao smiled heartily. "Jingwan, Jing'an, your Uncle Wang is going to Hong Kong for a trip. Just tell Uncle Wang whatever you want and he will bring it back for you."
Su Jingwan stood aside with a smile. Su Jing'an wanted to say a few words, but under Su Jingwan's intimidating expression, he stopped.
Wang Lang put down his things. "Sister Jiang, I'm really sorry to trouble you again."
"It's no problem. Auntie is here, so you don't have to worry about it." Li Su smiled.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Little Xiao is still waiting for you downstairs. Hurry up. Don't miss the plane," Aunt Zhao urged.
"Mum, are you really not going with us?" Wang Lang finally tried his best.
"What am I going to do, be a third wheel? Have fun, and don't forget to bring gifts for the children," Aunt Zhao said.
"I'll remember. Mum, I'm leaving. Sister Jiang, please forgive me!" Wang Lang turned his head and winked at Su Jing'an, expressing that he knew what he wanted.
Su Jing'an was happy all of a sudden. Su Jingwan looked over. Su Jing'an immediately withdrew his smile, stood up straight, and had a pure and gentle appearance.
Su Jingwan shook her head helplessly. Fortunately, Jing'an knew how to exercise restraint and would never ask for any excessive gifts.
Aunt Zhao pulled on Li Su and began to tidy up the pile of things she brought. "Here, this was brought by Little Xiao. Here, this is donkey-hide gelatin cake. It is said to be hand-made. You can eat it and let Jingwan eat a little too. It's good for your health. I'll make soup tomorrow with this cordyceps sinensis. Here are some skin care products for you and Jingwan. And this pair of J's is for Jing'an."
Su Jing'an rushed over all of a sudden. "What shoes? Are they AJs?" Then, he got excited. "They're really AJs! Grandma Zhao, are these shoes really for me?"
Aunt Zhao didn't know what AJs were, but she could tell that Jing'an liked these shoes a lot. She said with a smile, "Of course they are for you. Do you like them?"
"I like them! I like them a lot!" Su Jing'an hugged the shoes, excited.
Li Su frowned, "Auntie, isn't this too expensive?" She opened the bag of skin care products, a complete set of SK-II, and a full set of Estee Lauder makeup.
"He bought it specially to bribe you, so accept it! It's okay!" Aunt Zhao was thinking very openly now. Wouldn't son-in-laws want to please their natal family like this? Little Jiang's family was his mother's family!
"But this is too expensive," Su Jingwan said.
"It's okay, keep it!" Aunt Zhao said with a smile. She had to admit that Little Xiao was still very good at this kind of thing.
Li Su looked at it and said, "Okay, then we will accept it." She turned around and transferred some money to Wang Lang. She did not want to take advantage of others like this.
Wang Lang did not accept Li Su's transfer immediately, but that made sense. Li Su figured that the other party was on the plane, and that it would wait until he got off the plane. As a result, that night, Wang Lang not only refunded the money, but also called Aunt Zhao to file a complaint.
Li Su and Su Jingwan had to comfort Aunt Zhao for a long time before Aunt Zhao finally stopped trying to pack up and go home.
Su Jingwan put her arms around Li Su's shoulders. "It's okay. We are a family and we will be filial to Grandma Zhao in the future."
On the evening of the fourth day, Su Jingwan was sitting in the room reading a book. It was fairly late. Su Jingwan looked at her phone and saw a WeChat message from Luo Heng. "I'm back. Do you have some soup?"
Su Jingwan's eyes widened. She grabbed her phone and looked at it again. It was indeed Luo Heng. Why did he come back today?
Su Jingwan bit her lip, still thinking about whether to go down. She put on a down jacket, went out in a hurry, and said before leaving, "Mum, Grandma Zhao, have you cooked any soup tonight?"
Li Su and Aunt Zhao were watching TV on the sofa. When they heard the movement, they turned their heads and looked at her. Aunt Zhao said loudly, "Yes, there is lotus root pork rib soup! It's still hot! I'll serve it for you!"
"No need. I'll get it myself later!" As the door closed, Su Jingwan's voice gradually weakened.
Aunt Zhao quietly asked, "Is it the one who delivered the cake again?"
Li Su nodded.
"Doesn't Jingwan know not to fall in love early? It's not good to fall in love early. It will delay her studies," Aunt Zhao said again.
Li Su smiled. "I believe in Jingwan. She will handle it well. It doesn't matter if she is really in love. Sixteen or seventeen years old is an ordinary age. There is nothing wrong with having a pure and beautiful love."
"But what if something goes wrong? Children nowadays are very precocious." Aunt Zhao frowned.
"It's okay, I'm here!" Li Su said with a smile. Even if she really ate the forbidden fruit, it didn't matter. She would teach Jingwan how to protect herself. It didn't matter even if she had a child, she would take Jingwan to the best hospital.
Aunt Zhao shook her head. "No, I have to keep an eye on her." After speaking, she got up and walked to the balcony, wanting to keep an eye on Su Jingwan.
Over there, Su Jingwan came back in a hurry. She was holding a pile of paper materials in her arms and an insulated lunch box in her hand.
Li Su hurried over to help her. "Mum, help me bring these materials and papers to my room. I'll hurry to serve the soup," Su Jingwan said with a smile.
"Okay." Li Su carried the heavy materials and papers to Su Jingwan's room.
"It's so cold. Why don't you invite your classmate to sit down?!" Li Su walked to the kitchen door.
Su Jingwan shook her head. "It's better not to!" Su Jingwan began to want to say that she didn't know Luo Heng very well, but thinking about what she was doing now, she felt that this was not convincing. "He just got off the plane and is very tired. He needs to go home and rest quickly."
Li Su pursed her lips and smiled. She could see that her Jingwan might be tempted by that kid! "By the way, what's the name of your classmate? Why didn't he stay at home for a few more days? Today is only the fourth!"
"His name is Luo Heng, and his parents are not in the country. He said it's not interesting to be alone, so he came back to study. Mum, I'll go down first!" Su Jingwan said in embarrassment as she carried a lunch box.
Li Su was left standing alone as if she had been struck by lightning.
Who? Luo Heng? Was it the Luo Heng she thought of? How could he appear here in advance? She thought about what happened these days and an idea suddenly popped into Li Su's mind. Could this Luo Heng have been reborn?
"Little Jiang, Little Jiang, what's wrong?" Aunt Zhao's voice suddenly rang out.
"It's nothing. Auntie, what did you say?" Li Su came back to her senses and smiled.
"Oh, it's nothing. I might be thinking too much. That boy looks quite honest. These two people don't seem to be in a relationship. How can they send papers and materials when they are in love?! Don't you think so?" Aunt Zhao just watched them for a long time on the balcony and realised that maybe she really thought too much. The two of them never even held hands from the beginning to the end. They couldn't be more innocent.
Li Su laughed. She was 100% sure in her heart that in her previous life, this Luo Heng really loved Jingwan. He trusted and loved her with all her heart. In this life, he still looked like this. What was even more rare was that he showed great respect for Jingwan, knew what Jingwan wanted, and didn't let his feelings cause Jingwan problems.
This should be the best way to love someone!
Li Su sighed. Forget it. He had come here after all. She, the mother-in-law, better not beat the lovebirds.
After a while, Su Jingwan came back holding a small cake in her hand while smiling.
"Has your classmate gone back?" Li Su asked with a smile.
"Yes, he's returned. Mum, I'm going back to my room to study the test paper," Su Jingwan said happily. "He brought a lot of materials and test papers this time. They are hard to get. They are very helpful to me!"
Li Su smiled and said, "Don't study too late. Make sure you rest."
"Mm, I know." Su Jingwan entered the room with a smile.
Aunt Zhao said with a smile, "Our Jingwan is really a good child. She devotes herself to studying."
"Yeah!"
Just as she was talking, the door opened. Su Jingwan poked her head out. "Mum, Grandma Zhao, do you want to eat this little cake? If you don't want it, I will give it to Jing'an."
Both Li Su and Aunt Zhao shook their heads, and Su Jingwan said loudly, "Su Jing'an! Do you want to eat this cake or not!"
"I'll eat it!" Before she finished speaking, Su Jing'an rushed out of the room and took the cake from Su Jingwan.
"If you have nothing to do, you should study more. Don't play games all day long, do you hear me? Have you finished the papers I assigned? I will check them tomorrow morning," Su Jingwan warned.
"God, older sister, it's New Year's Eve. Can you please let me relax? Just because you like studying papers doesn't mean that others like it too!" Su Jing'an muttered.
Su Jingwan rolled her eyes. "What did you say?"
"No, I didn't say anything. I will go back to the room to study the paper. Older sister, good night." Su Jing'an said with a playful smile. He then hurried into his room and closed the door.
Su Jingwan smiled at Li Su and Aunt Zhao, then closed the door.
Under the lamp, Su Jingwan flipped through the papers and materials with joy in her eyes. After reading all the papers and materials, she picked out a few key points and took them out. Then, she opened a paper and started to study.
After finishing a paper, Su Jingwan felt a little unsatisfied. After all, it was a paper written by a famous teacher from a prestigious school. After finishing the paper, she benefited a lot. She looked up at the time. It was only half past ten. It was still early, so she would start another one!
Su Jingwan happily continued to study the paper.
Luo Heng likely knew her too well. At 11:10, Luo Heng sent a WeChat message: 'Stop writing. Go to bed early. Can I go to your house tomorrow to study the paper together?'
After Luo Heng sent the WeChat message, he felt a little nervous.
Two minutes later, his phone screen turned on. Luo Heng suppressed his excitement. He picked up the phone and saw the words: 'That's fine!'
Those two words made Luo Heng so excited that it took him a long time to pick up the phone. 'Okay, go to bed early. Good night.'
Su Jingwan put down her phone and smiled slightly. Luo Heng's strength was not limited to this. Studying papers with him should be rewarding. Mum should be able to understand, but there was still Grandma Zhao. In order to avoid suspicion, she would let Jing'an also participate in the study session!
It was decided! Su Jingwan was so happy that she unilaterally made the decision for Su Jing'an!
Chapter 329 – My Daughter is Likely a Green Tea (part 18)
The next morning, Luo Heng picked up some things, carried his schoolbag, and knocked on the door of Su family's house.
The reason why he hastily proposed to do homework with Jingwan was, on one hand, as he was not satisfied with seeing Jingwan only once a day, his heart was almost full of longing. On the other hand, it was also because he wanted to observe the Su family closely, especially Jingwan's adoptive mother and her younger brother.
Although Jingwan was very happy in this life, the investigation data also showed that her adoptive mother treated her very well. At least on the surface, it was true.
But, if he didn't see it with his own eyes, Luo Heng would be worried.
"You're here! Come in quickly!" Su Jingwan had already told Li Su that Luo Heng wanted to come to their house to study. Just as she thought, Li Su didn't object, but asked her enthusiastically if she needed to prepare anything.
Luo Heng handed the things in his hands to Su Jingwan. "I brought this from home. I hope that you will like it."
Su Jingwan hesitated. "There's no need. Why did you bring things?"
"It's still Chinese New Year, so consider it New Year's greetings," Luo Heng said with a smile. He then persistently stretched out his hand until Su Jingwan took what was in his hands.
"You're here. Come in and sit down. What are you still doing standing at the door?" Li Su came out of the kitchen holding a plate of fruit in her hands.
"This is my mother. Mum, this is my classmate, Luo Heng," Su Jingwan introduced.
Luo Heng looked at Li Su. She was different from the haggard old woman in his memory. Although the clothes she wore were ordinary, she had a quiet and elegant demeanor. The strange thing was that, from her appearance, she was really gentle and quiet. There were some similarities.
"Hello, auntie!" Luo Heng bent down.
"There's no need for formalities. Sit down!" Li Su greeted. "Have you had breakfast?"
"I've eaten. Thank you, auntie." Luo Heng put down his schoolbag, a little cautious.
Seeing this, Li Su said, "Jingwan, take your classmate to your room to sit. When the food is ready, I'll call you again!"
"Mm, I got it." Su Jingwan said with a smile. "Luo Heng, I copied down all the questions that I had some difficulties with. Can you help me?"
Luo Heng stood up. "No problem." In fact, his attention was all on the words 'Jingwan's room'. He thought that even if he could come to Jingwan's house to do homework, he would probably be in the living room under the eyes of the adults. He didn't expect to study in Jingwan's room.
Did this mean that he would be alone with Jingwan?
When Luo Heng saw the impatient boy in Jingwan's room, he knew that he had been thinking too much.
"Luo Heng, let me introduce you. This is my younger brother, Su Jing'an. Jing'an, this is my classmate, Luo Heng. You can call him…" Su Jingwan introduced.
"Older brother Luo! Hehe, I've heard such a great name for a long time!" Su Jing'an squeezed between Su Jingwan and Luo Heng with a playful smile, separating the two. Don't think he didn't know that this kid named Luo Heng was obviously interested in his older sister. Otherwise, why would he buy cakes for his older sister and do what she likes, like sending paper materials?
But currently, his older sister was more interested in papers and materials than this Luo Heng.
"Hello! My name is Luo Heng!" Luo Heng smiled.
"Don't you want to do homework? Let's start!" Su Jing'an said with a smile. He knew what his mission was. He was to watch this Luo Heng and not let him find a chance to touch his older sister.
Su Jingwan took out her exercise book and looked back at Luo Heng. Luo Heng nodded, walked over, sat down next to Su Jingwan naturally, and looked at the questions. He forced himself to calm down and tried to ignore Jingwan's breathing. He then began to explain things to Jingwan.
Su Jing'an, who was pretending to be doing homework next to her, couldn't get in the way at all. He basically couldn't understand what the two of them were saying.
After listening for a long time, Su Jing'an quietly went out under the pretext of going to the toilet.
When Aunt Zhao saw him coming out, she hurried over and asked, "Why did you come out? What's going on inside now?"
"It's nothing. They're talking about Newton's laws, subtropical climates, and so on. I don't even understand them!" Su Jing'an rolled his eyes and said, "My brain is numb, so I came out to breathe."
Aunt Zhao smiled, gratified. "I knew that Jingwan was a well-behaved child. But Jing'an, come out to rest for a while and then go back quickly! Good boy, don't you like pizza? Grandma Zhao will ask your mother to order takeaway for you later."
"I want Coke with ice!" Zhao Jing'an boldly added a condition.
Grandma Zhao hesitated for a moment. Drinking iced Coke in winter was really not good.
But Zhao Jing'an was very persistent. Carbonated drinks like Coke and Sprite needed to be served with ice to taste good.
"Okay, just one drink!" Grandma Zhao said.
"Okay! Then I'll go in!" Su Jing'an said with a smile.
"Wait a minute. I washed some fruits. You can bring them in. There are also drinks and biscuits. Do you want some?" Li Su came out of the kitchen.
"Yes, yes!" Su Jing'an said hastily. If they didn't eat them, then he would!
Su Jing'an opened the door holding fruit and biscuits and a bottle of drink. He put the food on the small table next to them. "Older sister, there are fruits, biscuits, and drinks. Do you want to eat anything?"
Over there, Su Jingwan and Luo Heng didn't look up. They wrote calculations on the paper with ease.
Su Jing'an stood aside and looked at them for a few moments, then rolled his eyes. When he saw that Su Jingwan was busy with the calculations and had no time to talk to him, he quietly touched Su Jingwan's cell phone and played the game lying on the carpet.
Su Jingwan and Luo Heng calculated the questions, and then put their answers together. Seeing that her answer was different from Luo Heng's, Su Jingwan frowned slightly. She put their draft papers together and compared them step by step. "You added an extra decimal place here!"
Luo Heng went over to have a look, and said with a smile, "That's really the case! I was careless. Your answer is correct!"
Su Jingwan smiled happily. Luo Heng looked at her smiling like a flower and stood there in shock.
Su Jingwan noticed this and felt a little uncomfortable. She looked elsewhere. At a glance, she saw Su Jing'an lying on the ground playing games.
Su Jingwan grabbed the draft paper and threw it at Su Jing'an's head. "I called you here to study papers, not to play games. Give me back my phone!"
Su Jing'an was unmoved. He changed his posture. "Older sister, wait a minute. This will be over soon."
Su Jingwan glared at him. "If you keep doing this, I'll set a password on the phone later!"
Seeing this, Luo Heng asked, "Does your younger brother not have a cell phone?"
Su Jingwan nodded lightly. "Mm, he's still young and doesn't use a cell phone."
Luo Heng smiled slightly. "Let's continue with the papers? What do you think of making it a competition? The loser treats the winner to a movie. The latest Hollywood blockbuster is not bad. What do you think?"
He successfully diverted Su Jingwan's attention and received a grateful look from Su Jing'an.
Su Jingwan smiled. "Okay, but, you mustn't let me win on purpose!"
"I will sit on this side and you will sit on the other side so we won't be able to see each other." Luo Heng laughed.
The two sat at opposite ends of the table. Luo Heng took out his mobile phone and started to count the time. The two of them buried themselves in the paper.
Su Jing'an finished a game, looked up, saw the two people, and sighed. He didn't understand. How could someone like doing papers so much? As for these two people, Grandma Zhao was still worried that their puppy love will affect their studies? Haha.
Su Jing'an slipped out again. Su Jingwan was completely immersed in the world of mathematics and didn't react.
Luo Heng raised his head, looked in the direction of the door, then retracted his gaze. He looked at Su Jingwan opposite him and couldn't help but stare blankly for a moment. It was said that serious women were the most beautiful. It was as expected.
He watched her for ten minutes. It wasn't until Su Jing'an opened the door and came in that Luo Heng came back to his senses and quickly lowered his head to do his homework.
In the end, Luo Heng scored 7 points more than Su Jingwan, but his finishing time was 20 minutes later than Su Jingwan. Luo Heng took the initiative to admit defeat. "I lost, so let me invite you to the movie in the afternoon. I will buy tickets now."
Then, without waiting for Su Jingwan to say anything, he took out his cell phone and bought the tickets neatly. "All right!"
Luo Heng handed the phone to Su Jingwan and Su Jing'an also came over. "You bought three tickets. Do I get one too?"
"Of course." Luo Heng smiled.
Seeing this, Su Jingwan thought about it. If Jing'an went with them, no one would misunderstand her! "Okay. I'll buy the snacks. You can't refuse. Otherwise, I won't go."
Luo Heng nodded. "No problem. But, will auntie let you go?"
"If my older sister asks, our mother will definitely agree," Su Jing'an said confidently. "My mother trusts my older sister the most."
Luo Heng looked at Su Jingwan. Su Jingwan nodded, agreeing that it was true.
Sure enough, at lunch, Su Jingwan said that they were going to the movies in the afternoon. Li Su agreed without hesitation and took a few hundred yuan from her wallet to let them buy delicious food.
Of course Su Jingwan refused to take it. She resolutely returned the money. "No need. I have money!"
Su Jing'an wanted it, but Li Su wouldn't give it to him. "Okay, if you run out of money, just tell mum!"
Before Su Jingwan could speak, Su Jing'an murmured, "Mum, if you were as generous to me as you are to older sister, that would be great!"
"Your older sister is a girl, so there are many places to spend money. You are a boy. Why should I give you so much money? Do you want to recharge in the game?" Li Su said while glancing at him.
Aunt Zhao's favorite was Jing'an, whom she brought up. In her heart, Su Jing'an was almost like her own grandson. She couldn't bear for Jing'an to be wronged, so she quickly comforted him. "Be good, Jing'an. If you don't have enough money, I'll give some to you later."
Su Jing'an giggled and said, "Grandma Zhao, how can I ask for your money? When I grow up and earn money, I will make money for you to spend! Of course, there will be mother and older sister. Just wait!"
Grandma Zhao smiled from ear to ear. Okay. Jing'an is the best!"
Luo Heng looked at the blissful scene in front of him and saw Jingwan's happy and tranquil smile. As long as Jingwan was happy, the rest was not important!
Chapter 330 – My Daughter is Likely a Green Tea (part 19)
Luo Heng attached great importance to his first date with Jingwan after his rebirth. Although there was a third wheel, it did not affect his good mood.
After lunch at Su family's house, it was still too early to go see the movie. They studied another chemistry test to help digestion. Su Jing'an's eyes almost rolled out of their sockets. Was there anyone who studied papers to digest food?
When time was almost up, the three of them were ready to leave. However, Li Su also went out with them.
Luo Heng thought Li Su was worried about him, but when they parted ways at the intersection, Luo Heng asked, "Where are you going, auntie?"
"Oh, my mother works part-time to help people design advertisements online. She is going to an Internet cafe," Su Jing'an said.
"Why don't you buy a computer? Isn't it more convenient at home?" Luo Heng asked. After all, Jingwan could buy a piano for 100,000 yuan, and a computer didn't cost much.
"First, my mother feels that designing in an internet cafe gives a sense of urgency and she can get twice the result with half the effort. After all, it costs money. Second, it is because I am afraid that my self-control will not be strong enough and that I will be addicted to games and the internet. So, my family has never bought a computer," Su Jing'an said.
"So that's it. Auntie is very wise!" Luo Heng laughed.
Su Jingwan smiled slightly.
The three of them took a taxi to the cinema. When they got out, Su Jing'an paid the fare first. Of course, Su Jingwan gave him the money in advance.
Then, they went to buy milk tea and popcorn.
But not long after the movie started, Su Jingwan regretted it a little. The so-called Hollywood blockbusters were nothing much. If she had this kind of time, it was better to study the papers at home. But when she looked at the two boys next to her watching with gusto, Su Jingwan couldn't say anything. She just stared at the screen, silently reciting texts and formulas in her heart.
Luo Heng noticed that Su Jingwan was absent-minded. He saw that she seemed to be staring at the screen seriously, but her mind had gone somewhere. He was a little annoyed. Jingwan didn't seem to like watching this type of movie, but Jingwan liked it in her previous life! Not only did she accompany him to see it multiple times, but also accompanied him to see the spin-offs. When he talked about it, she also talked about it with relish. Did she really not like it?
Luo Heng stared at Su Jingwan. He couldn't see any interest on her face. It seemed that Jingwan really didn't like this type of movie. The reason why she seemed to like it so much in front of him in his previous life was probably because of love!
It seemed that he didn't know Jingwan well enough? What exactly did Jingwan like? Did she like Korean dramas, Japanese dramas, American dramas, or Thai dramas?
Luo Heng searched quickly in his mind, but he didn't have a clear idea. He was a little surprised to find that he and Jingwan had been together for five or six years, but he didn't even know what kind of movies and TV shows Jingwan liked to watch. Was he too much of a failure?
"What's the matter?" Su Jingwan noticed Luo Heng's gaze and turned her head to see that he was staring at her.
"It's nothing. I just thought that you don't like this movie very much, so I wanted to ask you what kind of movies or TV shows do you like to watch?" Luo Heng asked softly.
Su Jingwan thought for a while, then shook her head. "I don't really have a favourite type. Most of the time, I like to read books quietly. However, sometimes I also watch old movies with my mother, like The Bridges of Madison County1. Although the special effects of these Hollywood blockbusters are nice, I think they are a bit noisy."
Luo Heng smiled. Jingwan liked to be quiet. He knew that. "Okay, then next time we won't watch this type of movie. Let's watch a quiet and artistic movie."
Su Jingwan glanced at him and nodded slightly. "Okay."
Luo Heng also laughed. He had to write it down quickly and pick carefully later!
After coming out of the movie theater, Luo Heng didn't propose to go to other places. He sent the two siblings home and turned back. He wanted to make up for everything that he missed in his previous life.
Yang Lulu only learned about Luo Heng's existence from Yang Luoluo after school started. After Yang Lulu entered high school, she had a boyfriend. She had been busy with her boyfriend for a while, and she and Su Jingwan were not in the same class, so she didn't know about Luo Heng's existence.
After school that day, she left her boyfriend behind and ran to Su family's house for dinner. After eating, she went into Su Jingwan's room. "Jingwan, I heard that you are in a relationship with the transfer student in your class. Is it true? Are we still friends? My boyfriend has seen you!"
Su Jingwan sat at the desk, studying papers, and said with a smile, "How could that be? We are just ordinary classmates."
"Don't lie to me. How many times has he come to your house for a meal? How is this an ordinary classmate relationship? He gives you things every day and you take them, so how is this an ordinary classmate relationship? This is not like you!" Yang Lulu had a gossiping expression. "Don't tell me you don't know he likes you! He's pursuing you!"
Su Jingwan stopped writing and was silent for a while. Then, she turned around and looked at Yang Lulu and said, "I know he likes me, and I actually return those feelings… But now is not the time. In my heart, I only think about…"
"I know. I know. Right now you only want to study hard and make progress every day, get admitted to college, and make your mother look good. After graduating from college, you want to find a good job, earn a lot of money, and be filial to your mother! But, Jingwan, you have to understand that no one will stand there waiting for you forever. If you miss it, then you'll miss out. I have also secretly seen this Luo Heng. Not only is he handsome, but judging by his clothes, he has a good family background. He treats you very well, so you might as well think it over carefully. Youth only happens once. Are you sure you want to waste this chance?" Yang Lulu rolled over from the bed and sat up, and persuaded her earnestly.
Su Jingwan pursed her lips and smiled. "How is this being wasteful? I have always thought that there is something each age group should do. At our current age, our minds are immature, so it's not good to talk about relationships now. The main thing is to learn. Lulu, didn't you always say that you want to prove that you are no worse than your younger brother? It is probably very dangerous for you to be like this now!" Su Jingwan said.
Yang Lulu rolled her eyes and fell back on the bed. "I don't care about that little kid. He's still a baby boy. There are still 20 years before he grows up. My dad can still work for a few more years. At that time, the company will have to be handed over to me. When he grows up, I will have a firm foothold in the company. I don't know who will win!"
Su Jingwan thought that Yang Lulu's thoughts were very strange. The key was that it was completely different from before. Who instilled her with such thoughts? Su Jingwan tentatively asked, "Lulu, you didn't think so before. You used to say that you wanted to start your own business and prove yourself…"
"You also said that was in the past! That kind of thinking is too naive. Start my own business? Do you know how difficult that is? I have such unique conditions now, why should I make things harder for myself? I think this makes sense, don't you?" Yang Lulu said with a smile.
Su Jingwan frowned slightly. "Lulu, did someone tell you this? Was it your boyfriend?"
Yang Lulu didn't want to continue this topic. "Okay, isn't it about you today? Why did it come back to me again? I think you are too old-fashioned. Life is short, so enjoy yourself!" As she was speaking, her cell phone rang. She picked it up and got up from the bed. "I won't tell you anymore. My boyfriend is here to pick me up, so I'm leaving first. As I said, you should think about it carefully. That Luo Heng is really good. If you miss this village, you won't have this shop!"
After Yang Lulu finished speaking, she took her bag and went out. After greeting Li Su, she left.
Su Jingwan chased after her, but the person had already gone out. Su Jingwan frowned. Her expression was a bit serious.
Seeing this, Li Su asked, "What's the matter? Didn't you have a good chat?"
Su Jingwan and Li Su had always talked about everything, and she immediately told her mother about Yang Lulu's transformation and her own confusion.
Finally she said, "Mum, I think Lulu's current state is very problematic. She was not like this before. I want to stop her. Do you think it's okay?"
Li Su smiled, "If you think it's right, then do it. Although, I don't think she will appreciate it."
Su Jingwan looked at Li Su. She didn't understand.
Li Su continued, "Children of your age have a heart higher than the sky, are stubborn, and won't turn back if they don't encounter problems themselves. But this is probably the vigor of youth. There is nothing wrong with it. With regards to Lulu's thoughts, I can't judge whether she is right or wrong. But, even if she is wrong, why does it matter? She is still young, and she still has a lot of time to look back. She has her parents, family, and friends. You sometimes think about things too simply, and sometimes your thinking is too complicated! You know, things that matter the most to you may not be a big deal in the eyes of your parents! So, don't worry about being right or wrong. Just be brave and do your best. Do whatever you want!"
Su Jingwan nodded. "I know what to do, mum. As a friend, I will tell Lulu what I really think. As for what Lulu will do, that is her business. However, if Lulu needs me, I will do everything I can to help her!"
Li Su smiled and nodded. "If it's beyond your capabilities, you can come to mum. But mum hopes that there won't be such a day."
Su Jingwan took a deep breath. She also hoped that there would be no such day.
Similar to what Li Su said, when Su Jingwan talked to Yang Lulu, Yang Lulu didn't appreciate Su Jingwan's earnest persuasion. Yang Lulu even got a little impatient, and the two finally broke up unhappily.
When Su Jingwan watched Yang Lulu, who left in a hurry, she sighed. It didn't matter what her original intention of making friends with Yang Lulu was, but she sincerely regarded Yang Lulu as a friend now. She hoped that everything would be fine for Yang Lulu.
But sometimes the world worked in strange ways. The more you didn't want something to happen, the more it would happen!
One day, the physics teacher asked for leave for something. It was time for a self-study class. Su Jingwan was doing her homework and her phone suddenly buzzed. Su Jingwan thought it was a sales call and ignored it, but the phone kept vibrating.
Su Jingwan frowned, took out her cell phone, only to find that it was Yang Lulu calling.
Su Jingwan hadn't seen Yang Lulu at school for several days, so Yang Lulu calling her at this time meant that it must be something important.
Su Jingwan talked to her deskmate and quietly went out to answer the phone.
Luo Heng was worried and followed her.
"What? Where are you now? Stay there and protect yourself. I'll pick you up right away." Su Jingwan panicked, but forced herself to calm down.
After hanging up, Su Jingwan tried to take a deep breath to keep herself calm, but she was so flustered that her hand holding the phone was shaking. She remembered her mother's words and planned to call her mother.
"Is something wrong? I'll help you!" Luo Heng pressed her hand and said softly. "Trust me, I'll help you. Auntie is at work at this time. If you ask for leave in a hurry, it will definitely attract attention. Trust me, I can help you solve it."

Chapter 331 – My Daughter is Likely a Green Tea (final)
Half an hour later, Su Jingwan and Luo Heng found Yang Lulu. At this moment, Yang Lulu was in a panic, crying so much that her make-up was all over her face. When she saw Su Jingwan, she threw herself into her arms and burst into tears.
"Jingwan! Jingwan!"
"Okay, I'm here. Don't cry, don't cry!" Su Jingwan hugged her good friend at a loss, not knowing what to do. She could only look at Luo Heng for help.
Luo Heng said, "Let's find a place to sit down and talk. Your friends also need to tidy up."
Su Jingwan nodded. "Then where are we going now?"
Luo Heng looked around. "There is a shopping mall over there. There should be a bathroom in it. You take your friend to the bathroom to wash her face and I'll go buy some food. Tell me if you have anything else to add."
Su Jingwan nodded and walked to the mall with Yang Lulu.
In the bathroom, Yang Lulu told Su Jingwan what happened while she cried. "He is a big liar! I treated him so well, I spent so much money on him. I even gave him the first time and he ended up treating me like this! I caught him cheating on me! He also told that bitch that he didn't like me at all, and that he was with me just for my money! How could he do this to me?!"
The more Yang Lulu talked, the sadder she became. Then she said something that surprised Su Jingwan. "I'm pregnant and it's his child. I went to him this time just to ask him what he wanted to do, but he treated me like this! Jingwan, what should I do?"
Su Jingwan was helpless. "Lulu, why are you so confused? I told you to protect yourself. It's fine if you fall in love, but why are you pregnant!"
Yang Lulu choked up and said, "He said wearing a condom was uncomfortable and wanted to be honest with me. I also took medicine afterwards! I don't know why…"
Su Jingwan raised her forehead. "You can't believe whatever he says! You can't have this child. Let's go. I'll accompany you to the hospital!"
Yang Lulu bit her lips and said, "But I don't have any money. I spent all my money on him. For his birthday, I packaged up the whole KTV for his birthday, and bought him the Harley Davidson motorcycle that he wanted as a gift. How could he treat me like this?!"
"Is it interesting to think about this now? You don't have to worry about money. If you don't want your parents to know about it, then you have to tell my mother. After all, you have to be accompanied by an adult when you go to the hospital. After that, you have to…" Su Jingwan said.
Yang Lulu's eyes were red. "I believe in auntie, and I believe in you too. Jingwan, thank you!" She cried while in Su Jingwan's arms.
"Okay, let's not talk about this between us. Wash your face first and come home with me. I will call my mother and ask her to take half a day off in the afternoon to accompany us to the hospital." Su Jingwan comforted her friend.
Yang Lulu was very embarrassed when she faced Li Su, who had hurried back.
However, Li Su comforted her gently. "It's okay. Auntie is also young and can understand you. Auntie is also very happy that you can trust auntie so much. Auntie has already found a hospital and auntie will accompany you there this afternoon. Jingwan, go back to class with Luo Heng. By the way, please ask for leave for Lulu for at least a week. If you can ask for a few more days, it would be better. These days, Lulu should stay at auntie's house first and auntie will take care of you."
Yang Lulu's eyes were red. "Thank you, auntie. There is no need to ask for leave from school. I don't often go to class. My parents are busy with the company now, and they are busy taking care of my younger brother. They don't take care of me."
Li Su had a smile on her face, but she sighed inwardly. Every family had rules that were difficult to understand!
Luo Heng and Su Jingwan went back to school. On the way, Luo Heng said, "Auntie is very open-minded. Parents generally don't take this kind of thing very well…"
Su Jingwan smiled and nodded. "My mother is indeed very open-minded. She once told me and my younger brother that it is okay to fall in love, and it's okay to eat forbidden fruits. We are young, and we will be curious about such things, so it is understandable. But, we should take protective measures to protect ourselves. She even secretly told me that it didn't matter if I got raped, or if I killed someone. I can tell my mother and my mother will take me to the best hospital."
When Luo Heng saw Su Jingwan say this, his face was full of pride. He lowered his head and smiled. Jingwan really loved her mother! Fortunately, in this life, that woman did not disappoint Jingwan.
"Mm, you have a good mother!" Luo Heng laughed.
The other students in the class were very curious about the inexplicable disappearance of Su Jingwan and Luo Heng for two classes. They had all kinds of guesses. Some said that they were in a relationship, some said that they went to see their parents, and some said that Su Jingwan had an abortion.
Of course, as soon as these absurd rumours came out, Su Jingwan's supporters scolded them back.
However, the two parties involved, Su Jingwan and Luo Heng, were very indifferent to these rumors. They were not affected at all by the rumours and continued on as normal.
Even the teacher didn't respond at all.
Seeing this, those who speculated wildly in private suspected that they might have guessed wrong. But at the same time, they became even more curious about what Su Jingwan and Luo Heng were doing.
However, those curiosities and doubts were quickly crushed by the second monthly exam! In front of the exam, everyone was in danger. How could they have the mood to care about this!
Yang Lulu stayed at the Su family's house for a week before returning to school. During this period, Mother and Father Yang never showed up. They only made a phone call and learned that Yang Lulu was ill. During this time, they let Yang Lulu stay at the Su family's house to take care of her health, and then transferred 10,000 yuan to Yang Lulu for expenses. They had no doubts about the situation.
Faced with such a situation, Li Su sighed helplessly. When she saw Yang Lulu's usual expression, it was difficult for her to say anything.
Yang Lulu transferred the 10,000 yuan to Li Su. Except for the money to go to the hospital, the rest was used as food expenses during this period.
Li Su returned the money and Yang Lulu handed it over again. "Auntie, you can accept it. This is the operation fee and for food expenses. I have money with me and my mother transferred me another 20,000 yuan."
Li Su had no choice but to accept the money. "Lulu, does your mother know about you going to the hospital?"
"Mm, I don't know, but she may have guessed something. She knew about my relationship. But even if she knew, she didn't have time to take care of me, so she transferred another 20,000 yuan to me." Yang Lulu remained expressionless.
Li Su hesitated to speak, but Yang Lulu smiled. "Auntie, it's nothing. I'm used to it. There's nothing wrong with it as long as she gives me money." She was really used to it. If her mother abandoned her younger brother now and showed her care and affection, she would not be used to it. She would wonder if the family was going bankrupt and if her parents were going to marry her off for money.
It was not easy for Li Su to point fingers and make random comments about other people's family affairs, so she could only smile awkwardly. She turned around and told Aunt Zhao to cook more nutritious food to nourish Yang Lulu's body.
Li Su and Su Jingwan thought that after this incident, Yang Lulu might change. They didn't expect that she would still go her own way. After Yang Lulu recovered her body, she quickly found another boyfriend. She paid great attention to protective measures and no more accidents occurred.
Su Jingwan tried to persuade her several times. Although Yang Lulu was impatient, she also knew that she meant well. She nodded perfunctorily every time, turned around, and put Su Jingwan's advice behind her. She still went her own way.
Su Jingwan was very distressed by this.
When Luo Heng saw this, he felt aggrieved for Su Jingwan in his heart. She was sincere to her friend, but the other party trampled on her kindness!
Luo Heng actually didn't like Yang Lulu very much. He didn't understand how Jingwan could be friends with such a person. Her younger sister was not bad, but she was a bit stupid. She was obedient. She was childhood sweethearts with Su Jing'an. Su Jing'an disliked her more than anyone else, but anyone who dared to say something bad about her would have Su Jing'an jumping out to refute them.
But Luo Heng didn't have any intention to stop Su Jingwan. He knew that Jingwan was such a kind and sincere person and this was one of the reasons why he liked her.
What he had to do was to protect Jingwan well and not let her get hurt.
When it was time to enter the third year of high school, Luo Heng breathed a sigh of relief because the third year of high school was intense and stressful. Su Jingwan didn't have the heart to pay attention to Yang Lulu's affairs anymore and devoted herself to her studies.
Yang Lulu also knew the kind of great pressure the third year of high school had, so she didn't bother Su Jingwan.
After years of studying hard, it was finally time for the most important college entrance examination in her life. With a smile on her face, Su Jingwan bid farewell to Li Su, Aunt Zhao, Su Jing'an, Yang Luoluo, and the others who came to take the exam. She entered the exam room confidently.
Li Su looked around. "Luoluo, where is your older sister? Which examination room is she in?"
"My older sister didn't take the college entrance examination. My father sent my older sister to study abroad," Yang Luoluo said.
Su Jing'an rolled his eyes. "She is going to be a disaster to foreigners again."
"Jing'an, why are you talking!" Li Su said angrily.
Su Jing'an pouted. Yang Luoluo looked at him and then at Li Su, not understanding what they were talking about.
After the college entrance examination, Su Jingwan immediately asked Luo Heng to come out to estimate their scores. Su Jingwan was very satisfied with her final estimated score, and Luo Heng was also very satisfied. The two of them could be in the same school.
"A Uni?" Luo Heng asked.
Su Jingwan looked at him tenderly and nodded. "A Uni!"
Luo Heng smiled. "Then, can I confess to you?"
Su Jingwan shook her head and said with a smile, "Let's talk about it after I get the admission letter!"
"Okay!" He waited for so many years, so he didn't mind waiting a little longer.
The scores came out quickly. Su Jingwan scored 708 points in the test. Although it was not the highest score in the province, she was ranked third in the province. She could get into A Uni. Luo Heng scored 709 points, ranking second in science in the province.
In this regard, Su Jingwan felt a little regretful. It was really a pity that she couldn't let the number one in the college entrance examination be the prefix of her name.
But Li Su was very happy. She saw Su Jingwan's regret, and comforted her with a smile. "The college entrance examination is just one stage in life. Whether a person succeeds or not depends on the future. Don't be discouraged!"
Although Su Jingwan was unwilling, but it was already done and it was useless to be upset. She was not a hypocritical person, so she immediately fixed her mood and prepared to face college life.
After Su Jingwan's college entrance examination, Su Jing'an and Yang Luoluo would also take the high school entrance examination. Su Jing'an did very well in the entrance examination. Although he did not do as well as Su Jingwan in the entrance examination, his total score was still in the top ten. He was admitted to the number 1 high school without a worry.
Yang Luoluo did poorly in the exam as usual, but Father Yang was familiar with it. After he generously donated a library to number 1 high school, Yang Luoluo successfully entered the school and was still in the same class as Su Jing'an.
Su Jingwan also received the admission letter from A University. Li Su was overjoyed and began to prepare the things Su Jingwan needed for A University.
The mother and daughter nestled on the sofa all day long, shopping on Taobao. Su Jing'an was in charge of picking things up from the courier.
Li Su personally sent Su Jingwan off. Su Jing'an was supposed to come, but he couldn't come because of the early military training in school. He was so annoyed that he couldn't come. Aunt Zhao stayed at home to take care of him, so she couldn't go.
Luo Heng personally drove to the airport to pick them up and then accompanied them all the way.
After the process was almost done, Li Su was about to go back. Luo Heng and Su Jingwan drove her to the airport. When she was about to board the plane, Li Su looked at Luo Heng and said, "I'll leave Jingwan to you."
Luo Heng nodded seriously. "Don't worry, auntie, I know! I will definitely love her and protect her."
Su Jingwan was a little shy, and stepped forward to hug Li Su. "Mum! I will miss you."
Li Su hugged her, and whispered in her ear, "Don't forget what mother told you. Protect yourself, and if you really have one, don't be afraid. When you give birth, mother will help you."
Su Jingwan blushed. "Mum, what are you talking about!"
"Oh, what's so embarrassing? Your mother was young too, so I understand!" Li Su said with a smile. "Okay, I should go. Take care of yourself!"
"Mm, mum, I will often video call you. I will also go home on the eleventh," Su Jingwan said with red eyes.
"No. On the eleventh, you and Luo Heng should go have fun. It will be the same if you come back after winter vacation." Li Su laughed.
After sending Li Su away, Su Jingwan was very depressed. It was the first time she was separated from her mother since she was young.
Luo Heng held her shoulders. "Don't be sad, you still have me! When we graduate in the future, we will get married, buy a big house, and bring auntie to live with us."
Su Jingwan rolled her eyes at him. "What are you talking about? Who wants to marry you?!"
"You don't want to marry me? Who do you want to marry?! You are mine, in this life, in the next life, and forever!" Luo Heng hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear.
Su Jingwan rolled her eyes at him, but her eyes were smiling. After three years of company, more than a thousand days and nights, it was enough for her to understand how much this person in front of her loved her! Her heart was not made of iron, so she would naturally be moved.
Although she would subconsciously weigh the pros and cons, after understanding things, Su Jingwan found that Luo Heng was indeed a very good choice.
But Su Jingwan liked Luo Heng a little bit. Sometimes, she even felt that the world was so big that she may never find a better choice than Luo Heng. Who else would know her, respect her, love her as much as he did?
So, she would manage this relationship well. She would love Luo Heng well and she would always be happy.
After graduating from university, Luo Heng went to his own company. Su Jingwan chose to continue to postgraduate studies. After passing the postgraduate entrance examination, she stayed in school to teach. She still liked campus life and Luo Heng respected her choice.
In the past four years, Su Jingwan had met Luo Heng's parents. Because she was good enough and Luo Heng liked her, Luo Heng's parents were very satisfied with her. They had just been urging them to get married early.
So as soon as they graduated from university, the two got married. Li Su gave Su Jingwan a dowry of 100,000 yuan and a house in her hometown. Su Jingwan declined and did not want it, but Li Su said that she and Su Jing'an both had the same amount, so Su Jingwan accepted it.
The best man's group were Luo Heng's good friends. As for the bridesmaids, Su Jingwan originally wanted to invite Yang Lulu, but she turned her down. The first reason was that she had no time. After all, she was working in the company now and she had to learn everything from scratch, so she was very busy. Second, she felt that her past experience may bring bad luck to Su Jingwan, so she turned the offer down. In the end, Yang Luoluo was a bridesmaid, and there were a few good classmates who she got along well with in college who were also bridesmaids.
Su Jing'an was very nervous about this. He was afraid that Yang Luoluo, the little idiot, would be bullied. On the day of the wedding, he followed closely behind Yang Luoluo. He helped her lift the corners of her skirt, held her things, and helped with her makeup. If someone wanted her to drink alcohol, he would take the initiative to drink instead.
Su Jing'an got into C University. Yang Luoluo couldn't be in the same school as him this time because Father Yang didn't have that ability. But she still chose to go to a junior college in the same city as Su Jing'an. After going to college, no one confessed their love first, and the two got together so naturally.
After getting married, Luo Heng fulfilled his promise. He bought a duplex which was 180 square meters, and wrote Su Jingwan's name on it, intending to take Li Su over to live with him.
But Li Su refused because she hadn't reached the retirement age yet and because she still had Aunt Zhao at home. After so many years, they were a family.
Su Jingwan was a little unhappy. "Mum, I also paid for this house, so you can live here with peace of mind! If you don't reach the retirement age, you can still retire early! Don't worry, we will take Aunt Zhao over to live with us! After Jing'an's graduation, he can also come here to find a job. Our family will still be together. Mum, don't you miss me? I'm planning to get pregnant. "
Hearing the last sentence, Luo Heng and Li Su frowned at the same time. Obviously, both of them remembered the reason for Su Jingwan's death in their previous lives. Although the amniotic fluid embolism was an accident, who could guarantee that it had nothing to do with maintenance during pregnancy?
Before Su Jingwan could say anything else, Li Su made a decision. "Okay, I'll come over, but give me some time."
Su Jingwan was very happy. Luo Heng glanced at Li Su. Even if his mother-in-law came, he still couldn't rest assured. He didn't dare to take the risk. He thought about different, more secure methods, such as surrogacy. He just didn't know if Jingwan would agree.
Luo Heng mentioned his idea to Su Jingwan. Immediately after he saw the look in Su Jingwan's eyes, he called his parents-in-law. Luo Heng was immediately scolded.
When it was over, he had to comfort his angry wife.
"Jingwan, I have no other intentions. I'm afraid that your pregnancy will be difficult and will be dangerous during childbirth," Luo Heng said.
"Pregnancy is hard work. I am willing. The medical abilities are so advanced. How can it be dangerous?" Su Jingwan was annoyed and found it funny when she heard the reason.
"But, I'm just afraid. I'm just worried. I don't want you to take this risk," Luo Heng said with his arms around Su Jingwan.
Su Jingwan smiled. "Don't worry, I'll be fine. I'm so happy now, how could I be willing to leave? Our child will be a crystallisation of our love. I hope to conceive them myself. Luo Heng, I love you. "
Luo Heng was convinced.
A month later, Li Su and Aunt Zhao finally came from their hometown.
Aunt Zhao was very happy. Although she was worried about her son, she was even more reluctant to leave the Su family, so she followed. Her son also said that now that the traffic was so developed, he would often visit her.
In private, Wang Lang quietly gave Li Su 100,000 yuan, but Li Su didn't accept it. During her most difficult years, Aunt Zhao helped her a lot. As she promised, she would treat Aunt Zhao as a member of their family. If she took the money, who would she be? Besides, when Jingwan got married, Wang Lang, as her natal uncle, together with Xiao Wen, prepared a generous dowry for Jingwan. They gave her 2% of the shares of the gaming company they established.
Wang Lang had no choice but to give up.
Aunt Zhao was full of ambition and decided not to disappoint the Su family. She bought a lot of books, such as scientific parenting manuals, self-study, and decided to use her spare time wisely.
Regarding this, Li Su and Su Jingwan were very helpless. The Luo family was not short of money and they even got the most expensive confinement nanny they could afford. Aunt Zhao was not needed at all.
Two months later, Su Jingwan was really pregnant.
With the caring company of her mother, Su Jingwan's pregnancy life was rich and interesting. She was happy all day long, attending classes, resting, walking, listening to prenatal music, and taking yoga classes for pregnant women. It was very fulfilling.
Symptoms like depression during pregnancy did not happen to her at all.
Everything went well with Su Jingwan, but something happened to Luo Heng. Ever since he found out that Su Jingwan was pregnant, he became nervous and couldn't sleep all night. He often sat by the bed in the middle of the night and stared at Su Jingwan. Sometimes, if she didn't move for a long time, he would even put his finger under Su Jingwan's nose to see if she was breathing.
After a long time, everyone realised that something was wrong with Luo Heng.
Su Jingwan made a decision and told her parents-in-law about this. She then made an appointment with a psychiatrist for him and accompanied him to see a psychiatrist every day.
After Luo Heng's parents found out, they thought it was a bit funny and they were angry. They only heard about pregnant women suffering from prenatal depression, but they never thought that Luo Heng would suffer from it. However, both of them were busy and couldn't come back for the time being. Seeing that the daughter-in-law had made arrangements well, they handed over their son to their daughter-in-law in relief.
Under the treatment and guidance of a psychologist, Luo Heng's tension eased a lot. But, as Su Jingwan's belly got bigger, Luo Heng started to get nervous again.
Finally, when the day of delivery came, Luo Heng repeatedly insisted on going in to accompany Su Jingwan. Everyone including Su Jingwan disagreed. Su Jingwan didn't want Luo Heng to see how she looked during childbirth and the others were worried that Luo Heng would faint in the delivery room. Not only would he not be able to help, but he would also add to the chaos.
"Yes, A-Heng, let your mother-in-law go. You won't be able to help you if you go in and Jingwan will worry about you later." When the daughter-in-law gave birth, Mother Luo rushed back and Father Luo was on the plane back.
But no matter how others tried to persuade him, Luo Heng insisted on going in.
In desperation, they had no choice but to let him in.
Outside the delivery room, everyone waited anxiously.
Su Jing'an took Yang Luoluo's hand and stood quietly aside. The atmosphere was a little tense and Yang Luoluo was a little scared. Su Jing'an patted her hand reassuringly.
One hour, two hours, three hours…
Five hours later, the door of the delivery room finally opened. "Where are the family members of the pregnant woman, Su Jingwan?"
"I am Su Jingwan's mother!"
"The mother gave birth to a boy. He was born at 3:28 and weighed six pounds. Both the mother and the baby are in good condition. They are bathing the baby and he will come out later. We will have to observe the mother for a while," the nurse said with a grin.
Mother Luo was relieved when she heard that her daughter-in-law and grandson were all well. Then, she remembered something and asked, "How is the father?"
"He was a little nervous, but the baby's father was very brave and persisted. When the baby was born, the baby's father also cried with excitement!" said the nurse.
Mother Luo was relieved. It was fine if he didn't faint in the delivery room.
After a while, the baby was carried out. Mother Luo was the first to go over. She held her baby grandson and everyone else came over to take a look.
"He looks so handsome! His nose is like A-Heng's. His mouth and chin are like Jingwan's. He will definitely be a handsome guy when he grows up!" Father Luo boasted.
Mother Luo nodded repeatedly.
Su Jing'an looked disgusted at the side, but he was smart enough not to say it.
"Husband, you and confinement sister-in-law will take the baby back first. I will accompany my mother-in-law here and wait for Jingwan to come out. Remember, you must never leave people around the baby." Mother Luo reminded.
Li Su smiled slightly. Mother and Father Luo really knew how to behave.
After Father Luo left with the child, Yang Luoluo whispered, "He's so ugly."
Su Jing'an had to hold back his laughter.
An hour later, Su Jingwan came out. Seeing that she was in good spirits, Luo Heng kept holding her hand tightly and never let her go.
Mother Luo took out a jewellery box and a red envelope. She put them beside Su Jingwan's pillow. "Jingwan, good child, you have worked hard!"
Su Jingwan smiled and said, "Thank you, mum!"
Li Su also looked at Su Jingwan. "Jingwan, how are you feeling?"
"Mum, I was in so much pain!" When Su Jingwan saw Li Su, she burst into tears. Several times, she almost thought she couldn't make it through. At that time, she was scared, really scared.
"It's okay. It's okay. Mum is here! Mum is always here!" Li Su gently put his arms around Su Jingwan and wiped away her tears. "You shouldn't cry. It's not good for your eyes."
Mother Luo couldn't help but wipe her eyes. Luo Heng's eyes were already red. "No more giving birth. No more giving birth in the future."
Mother Luo glanced at Luo Heng but said nothing.
Su Jingwan smiled. "How can that be done? I still want to give a younger sister to our son. It would be nice for the two to keep each other company."
Mother Luo immediately looked at Su Jingwan with satisfaction. Jingwan was really too sensible. People like them, of course, hoped to have as many children as possible. It wasn't like they couldn't afford it.
However, even if A-Heng and Jingwan really did not have a second child, she would not say anything. After all, she only gave birth to A-Heng and her mother-in-law didn't say anything.
But when Jingwan said that, Mother Luo was very happy. Jingwan really knew how to behave.
Li Su pursed her lips and smiled. It was Jingwan's and Luo Heng's freedom to have children or not. She would not meddle in their business.
But on this issue, Luo Heng showed unprecedented persistence. He even secretly went for a vasectomy without telling everyone.
Su Jingwan didn't discover this fact until five years later. That night was the wedding night of Su Jing'an and Yang Luoluo. Luo Heng, as the brother-in-law, had a lot of wine and got very drunk.
Su Jingwan helped him back to the room to rest, and suddenly her heart moved. She wanted to take advantage of Luo Heng's drunkenness to make him agree to have another one. Unexpectedly, Luo Heng blurted out the truth. "One month after you gave birth to A-Yuan, I went for a vasectomy. You don't need to give birth. Just A-Yuan is enough. Jingwan, I don't want to take risks. I don't want to lose you. I don't want you to suffer again. If you don't give birth, you can't possibly die from it."
Su Jingwan was stunned for more than ten minutes before she regained her senses. Looking at the man who was holding her hand firmly even though he was asleep, Su Jingwan suddenly smiled. She bent down and gently kissed Luo Heng's face.
It was great to meet him in this life!
Chapter 332 – Ending Extra
After Li Su regained consciousness, she didn't open her eyes immediately. She lay there, trying to accept the memory from the original owner.
But the strange thing was that her mind was blank.
Li Su opened her eyes and found that she had returned to the familiar little black room again.
"Welcome back!" 57321's hollow mechanical voice sounded.
Li Su was a little excited. It seemed that she hadn't seen 57321 for a few days and she went straight to the task every time. But this time she managed to see 57321?
"Congratulations, you guessed it right. You have completed all the tasks issued by the system. Although sometimes the tasks were not completed perfectly, but from today onwards, you will leave this Good Mother System. Therefore, all the abilities given to you by the system will also be withdrawn." 57321 seemed to guess what Li Su was thinking.
Li Su's eyes widened in surprise. "Are you serious, I'm done? Then what about what you promised me earlier?"
"What the guide promised you will naturally be done. Ten minutes later, you will return to your original world. This system has reset that world. Your parents are still alive and you are two months pregnant already," 57321 said.
Li Su's eyes were a little moist. Although she was not so obsessed with whether she could get pregnant now, she was still very excited when she heard the news.
"Thank you!" Li Su said with a smile.
"You're welcome. Now, I will break the bond with you and you will be free." 57321 said.
"What about you? What will happen to you?" Li Su suddenly thought of this question and asked the system.
"The Good Mother System will be temporarily closed. It will wait for someone who is destined to activate it again and then this guide will appear again," 57321 said.
"That's good! I thought…" Li Su patted her chest. She thought the system would disappear after the mission was completed, and that 57321 would disappear with it. That wasn't good. After getting along with 57321 for such a long time, she also had some feelings towards it. Although it was sometimes cold and ruthless, it was a bit of a rascal.
If 57321 was anthropomorphic, there would be a slight smile in its eyes now. "Okay, I'm going to start now. Close your eyes. I will unbind you from the system and then send you back to your world. "
Li Su obediently closed her eyes. She felt something leave her body. Immediately afterwards, she felt herself being sucked into a black hole.
She was in a daze and seemed to hear the voice of 57321 again. "To celebrate our happy cooperation, this guide will give you a gift at the end. This guide will give you the fastest queue ability. As the name suggests, no matter what kind of queue it is or how long it is, you will always be in the fastest queue. There's no need to thank me. Goodbye." See you again.
Li Su really wanted to go back and grab 57321 and ask it carefully. This was too picky. Since it was a gift, couldn't she exchange it for a better one? What kind of stupid ability was this? What's the use of this! Give her a million yuan! She wouldn't think it was too tacky!
"Li Su, Li Su! What's wrong with you?" A strange but familiar voice sounded in her ear.
Li Su opened her eyes, glanced at the person, then felt a little nauseous. She looked away in disgust. "It's nothing. I'm fine!"
The other party originally wanted to reach out to support her, but when they saw this, they withdrew their hand in embarrassment. "I don't know what's wrong today. There are so many people divorcing."
Li Su came back to her senses. It seemed that she had returned to the day she divorced her ex-husband. Li Su felt a little bit unfulfilled. She had already done everything that needed to be done, and there was no room for her to develop. If it had been earlier, she would have done a better job. She would have made this scumbag's fate even more miserable.
"Li Su, I feel sorry for you, but we have already left the house. I just want to divorce so I can give A-Li and the child a title, and give my parents an explanation. You…" Zhang Jingyuan frowned. He thought Li Su regretted it.
"Let me ask you something. Are you divorcing me just because I can't have children? What if I am pregnant?" Li Su thought about the ultrasound slip in her bag. Since they decided to divorce, she must make a clean break.
"Stop joking." Zhang Jingyuan was a little unhappy. They were already at the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau and she wanted to make trouble again. "Li Su, don't go too far. I've given you everything for the house and car deposits. What else do you want?"
"I didn't think about it. I just want to expose your true colours! I know that you divorced me, not only because we don't have children, but more importantly, you cheated on me with someone else. You are the one who has to leave the house because you are the wrong party in this marriage, so don't talk about this as if you are so noble!" Li Su rolled her eyes and said.
"You!" Zhang Jingyuan said angrily.
Li Su rolled her eyes. "It's our time. Hurry up, I still have things to do!" She had a lot of things to do. She had to go home immediately to meet her parents and then sell everything here. She needed to talk to her parents, change places, and start a new life.
Of course, before that, she needed to have her revenge. There was no reason to go back again, but it would be cheaper for this pair of scumbags!
The two went through the divorce procedure smoothly. Outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, Zhang Jingyuan's parents and his mistress were waiting outside. When they saw the two coming out, the three went over to meet them. "How was it? Is it done? Where's the divorce certificate?"
Zhang Jingyuan took out the divorce certificate. Mother Zhang said happily, "Hurry up, go get the certificate with Little Li! Then, we will go to a restaurant for dinner and celebrate. Hmph, you can't make progress by clinging to old notions. It's just some worldly possessions. What's done is done. Just treat it as a cheap slut. My son is a department manager with an annual salary of more than 100,000 yuan! It won't take long to earn it back. Unlike some people, an old woman who nobody wants can keep the house and car for the rest of her life!"
Li Su didn't even look at Mother Zhang. She could only see her parents, who were looking at her with concern at that time. "Dad! Mum!"
"It's fine, it's fine. Dad will take you home! Let's go home." Father Li was full of distress. He hugged his precious daughter and at the same time gave Zhang Jingyuan a vicious look for daring to bully his A-Su. Did he think that he would be able to escape unscathed? Having a clean break was just the beginning!
Zhang Jingyuan, who was glared at by his former father-in-law, had his heart suddenly skip a beat. Why did he get dizzy? He should forget about this. Although the old man had retired, he still had some energy. Especially the current leader of GSJ was brought up by the old man, who was very respectful to the old man. He was the kind who visited the old man in person every year and for every festival.
Zhang Jingyuan suddenly felt flustered. Why did this happen? He shouldn't be so confused! So what if Li Su couldn't give birth? The big deal was that after Little Li's child was born, he could have just found an excuse to take it home to raise. How could he be so confused? Even if he was caught by Li Su, so what? Wouldn't it be enough for him to refuse to admit it? After a few more years, until the old man was gone, wouldn't everything be fine at that time?
How did he come to this point in obsession? Zhang Jingyuan couldn't figure it out!
Zhang Jingyuan couldn't believe that he would do such a stupid thing! Suddenly his face became ugly.
Seeing that Zhang Jingyuan didn't move, Wen Lili covered her face and began to cry. "Woo, auntie, look at him!"
Mother Zhang quickly scolded him. "Jingyuan, what are you doing there in a daze? Hurry up and get the certificate! Nothing is more important than my grandson. That old man has already retired! Besides, Lili's father and your boss are good friends!"
Zhang Jingyuan looked at Wen Lili's belly. Wen Lili deliberately made her belly more prominent and Zhang Jingyuan looked at Wen Lili's gorgeous face. It was too late to regret it. He could get to where he was today by relying on his own ability and the boss's appreciation for him! Mum was right. The old man had already retired. He was no longer in power, so nobody would care about him! Who did he think he was?
"Let's go in!"
Looking at the marriage certificate in his hand, Zhang Jingyuan sighed silently. He was smart. He took a risky move, hoping that this move was not wrong.
Li Su didn't tell her parents about her pregnancy immediately. She was afraid that her parents would persuade her to remarry Zhang Jingyuan, and that Zhang Jingyuan would come to pester her if he found out.
She told her parents about her plan. She wanted to sell everything here and start a new life in another place.
Mother and Father Li agreed without the slightest hesitation. It was difficult to leave the homeland. Of course, where their daughter was, they would be there.
Seeing that her parents agreed, Li Su immediately started to deal with the affairs. While discussing with her parents on where to buy a house to live in, she sold the house, car, and stocks in her hand.
Everything was almost done.
The day Li Su and her parents left the city happened to be the day when Zhang Jingyuan and Wen Lili held their wedding.
On the plane, Li Su looked at the runway outside the window and smiled. She hoped that they would like the congratulatory gift she had for them.
The wedding of Zhang Jingyuan and Wen Lili was held in a local five-star hotel. The Zhang family attached great importance to this wedding and invited many guests. The woman's parents did not know that their daughter was a mistress. They were only happy that their daughter had found a husband, so they also invited many guests.
Zhang Jingyuan and Wen Lili had happy smiles on their faces, especially Zhang Jingyuan. After the divorce, everything went well for him, and the worst situations he expected did not happen. The child in Wen Lili's stomach was found to be a boy. Although her parents were dissatisfied with her second marriage, they also acquiesced for the sake of their children. When buying a house, the old couple paid half of the down payment.
Seeing his boss and his father-in-law chatting happily under the stage, Zhang Jingyuan smiled brighter and brighter. His beautiful life would begin again.
But accidents often happened when people were at their highest point.
According to the plan, photos of Zhang Jingyuan and Wen Lili's wedding and their life should be shown on the big screen. It would be narrated by the MC's sensational story about how they fell in love at first sight, they knew they were the one for each other after being together for three months, and they got married in a flash. It was a perfect love.
But the big screen in the center of the hall turned out to be a video of Zhang Jingyuan and Wen Lili opening a room at the hotel. There was more than one segment. The earliest video was eight months ago. The MC had just said that they fell in love after only three months of knowing each other.
Everyone present turned black.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Jingyuan's divorce certificate and Wen Lili's marriage certificate were released on the big screen. The dates were the same day.
Then came Wen Lili's B-ultrasound sheet and prenatal examination report, which proved that she was five months pregnant, not two months as they had claimed.
Zhang Jingyuan's face was red. Wen Lili had been clamoring for people to cut it off as soon as the cheating video was released. But no matter what the people from the wedding company did, they couldn't turn off the big screen. When Wen Lili saw the evidence being released one by one, she could only cover her face and cry.
Father Wen slapped Wen Lili angrily on the spot. He then left, helping Mother Wen, who was about to faint. After walking a few steps, Mother Wen fainted. Coincidentally, the ambulance was waiting outside the hotel.
Mother and Father Zhang tried their best to explain, but the others just smiled awkwardly.
Zhang Jingyuan came to his senses and wanted to explain things to the boss, but the boss had already left at some point. Most of the company's colleagues had also left. As for his friends, there were not many who came. However, after they saw such an embarrassing scene, they also left one after another.
In less than ten minutes, most of the people in the hall had left. The remaining half were packing meals at the tables. After all, it costs thousands of yuan per table!
Half an hour later, apart from Zhang Jingyuan's family of three and Wen Lili, there were only a few waiters watching the fun in the whole hall. Even the best man and bridesmaids had run away.
The foreman watched from the side, hesitated for a moment, and stepped forward. "Excuse me, can we clean up?"
Zhang Jingyuan shouted angrily with red eyes, "Get out!"
The foreman was almost sprayed the face with saliva, but the foreman avoided it in disgust. He turned his head and said to the waiter, "Don't worry about it. Pack it up. Don't delay the next wedding."
This day was definitely the darkest and most embarrassing day in Zhang Jingyuan's thirty-two years of life, but the days had to go on, no matter how embarrassing it was. What should be faced must be faced.
After his marriage leave ended, Zhang Jingyuan returned to the company cheekily. He was called to the office by the boss as soon as he arrived at the company, where his boss scolded him bloody. It turned out that there was some problem with the approval of the project he was in charge of, and the procedures were not complete, so he was called back. The boss told him to handle it well.
Zhang Jingyuan had no choice but to run around to complete the formalities, but hit a wall everywhere.
Seeing that there was no progress, the boss simply handed over the project to someone else. As a result, after the other party took over, it went surprisingly smoothly. Within a week, it passed approval and started smoothly.
Zhang Jingyuan followed this project for more than half a year, but in the end, he had to give up the credit just like that.
Zhang Jingyuan felt extremely regretful. He knew that someone was targeting him, but there was nothing he could do.
But Zhang Jingyuan discovered in despair that the blow to him was not limited to this. Any project that was handed over to him, even if the procedures were complete, would always have problems of one kind or another. However, once it was handed over to someone else, it could always be resolved smoothly.
After a few times, the company directly transferred him from his current position and demoted him to be a director of the HR department.
Things didn't go well at work, and neither did they go well in his life. Mother and Father Wen were ashamed of their daughter's behavior and cut off contact with her. Mother Zhang and Wen Lili didn't get along happily after marriage. Mother Zhang thought that Wen Lili spent a lot of money, was not gentle, and didn't know how to do housework. Wen Lili thought that Mother Zhang meddled too much.
Under the pressure on both sides, Zhang Jingyuan began to miss Li Su's kindness. He wanted to get back together with Li Su, even if he didn't want to have children.
But Zhang Jingyuan couldn't find Li Su's whereabouts no matter what he did.
At this time, Li Su was taking her parents to Mother Li's hometown to have the baby. Mother Li's hometown was a third-tier city in the south, surrounded by mountains and rivers. It had pleasant scenery and was very suitable for living.
Mother and Father Li had already retired. They had been thinking about food at home every day. Li Su consolidated the funds in her hands. She took advantage of the fact that the real estate market was not strictly controlled. She bought a few houses and facades in the local area, rented them all out, and lived the life of a rent collector.
The rest of the time, Li Su began to write novels on the Internet. Among many online literature websites, she chose Jinjiang. Originally it was just for fun, but she didn't expect that the response was not bad. Therefore, she signed a contract soon and then entered V Rank smoothly.
Mother and Father Li did not support Li Su writing novels because she had to raise a baby and they feared the radiation from the computer would affect the baby. The thinking of the old couple was still relatively traditional. They thought that writing novels online was not a serious career, and the family does not lack the money.
But Li Su liked it. Mother and Father Li couldn't object too much. Li Su had strong self-control and only stayed in front of the computer for an hour a day. The rest of the time, she walked, did yoga, and listened to music. The results of the prenatal checkup were all good. In addition, after writing, her monthly income almost caught up with her monthly rent. So, Mother and Father Li changed their minds. They also discovered other benefits of writing novels, such as her time was flexible and she had more freedom, which was indeed better than going to work. The old couple no longer objected.
Li Su had always maintained a frequency of 3,000 word updates per day. If she had spare time, she would save more manuscripts to prepare for updates during her confinement period. The most taboo thing when writing a novel was to suddenly stop updating. She didn't want to break her promise to her lovely readers. If she had free time, she would use it to reply to readers' comments and messages.
Life was plain and fulfilling.
When the day Li Su was supposed to deliver arrived, Li Su chose the best hospital for herself. Without any disputes, she chose a painless delivery. Father Li signed and agreed without hesitation.
Two hours later, Li Su gave birth to a girl smoothly. When the nurse put the crying baby on her chest, Li Su looked at her daughter. Even though she was ugly like a mouse, wrinkled and dirty, but in Li Su's eyes, she was the most beautiful existence in the world. She would do her best to protect her and love her.
She hoped that every child in the world could receive wholehearted love from their parents, and that this love would always be so pure.
