Shen Man nodded and wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes. She composed her expression.
With a faint smile, she returned to her noble and elegant appearance.
After all, she was a woman of noble birth. She carried an inherent pride and restraint.
Even in monts of great joy, her emotions were briefly revealed.
Only to quickly retreat beneath the surface.
“Yining, do you think 1 did the right thing by divorcing your father?” Shen Man asked.
“Of course, it’s right. Why linger with a man who betrayed you? If it were , 1 would have dumped him long ago! Mom, enduring until today and not revealing the truth is really unfair to you.” Jiang Yining’s heart ached for her. She felt terrible when she thought about the first ti she saw her being treated coldly by everyone in the Lu family.
Her mother-in-law was clearly the victim. Why was she the one who had to bear everything?
It was unfair!
Now, the truth was finally revealed.
It wasn’t in vain that she had forced Lu Zhi to investigate.
Shen Man heard Jiang Yining’s words and burst out laughing. “You’re such a bold girl. You dare to say anything.”
“Hehe, everything 1 said is the truth. I’m not afraid of being overheard,” Jiang Yining said confidently.
Shen Man nodded and gently flickered her nose then said, “Mischievous.”
“Mom, let’s go in and talk. Don’t just stand here.”
The two entered the villa together.
Jiang Yining gave Shen Man a hot towel to soothe her eyes.
Then, she asked the housekeeper to prepare so drinks.
She also added so calming and sleep-inducing supplents.
Shen Man felt drowsy after drinking it.
Jiang Yining helped her into the guest room to rest.
After watching her fall asleep, Jiang Yining quietly walked out of the room, took out her phone, and called Lu Zhi.
After such a thing happened, he should be the one who suffered the most.
He must have left just now because he didn’t want to lose control of his emotions in front of his mother.
Beep beep beep…
The phone rang three tis before it was picked up.
“Hello,”
Lu Zhi’s deep and llow voice traveled into her ears through the radio waves.
Jiang Yining whispered, “Where are you now?”
“I’m fine. You don’t have to look for .” Lu Zhi understood her intentions.
Jiang Yining asked stubbornly, “Where are you? If you don’t tell , I’ll go out and look for you. Until I find you.”
“I’m at Xianglan Lake in the neighborhood,” Lu Zhi said after a mont of silence.
There was a man-made lake in their neighborhood.
Not far away.
Jiang Yining said, “I’ll go over now. You’re not allowed to leave. Otherwise, I won’t talk to you for the rest of my life.”
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yining grabbed a jacket.
She draped it over herself and ran out in a hurry.
About ten minutes later…
She ran to Xianglan Lake and saw Lu Zhi leaning against the car.
He held a cigarette in his slender hand, but he didn’t light it. There was already a pile of cigarette butts under his feet.
Jiang Yining walked forward and threw herself into his arms. She hugged him tightly and said, “Honey, if you want to cry, just cry. Don’t believe the lyrics that say n don’t shed tears easily. It’s all a lie. Only when you cry will you feel better.”
Lu Zhi lowered his eyes and looked at the person in his arms. He said softly, “I can’t cry.”
“I’m your wife. Why are you so embarrassed to cry in front of ?” As Jiang Yining spoke, she reached out to pull his cheek, wanting him to cry.
Lu Zhi couldn’t take it anymore. He reached out and grabbed her wrist.
“Don’t ss around.”
Jiang Yining took advantage of the situation, stood on her tiptoes, and kissed him on the lips.
Lu Zhi was speechless.
Jiang Yining’s eyes curved into a smile and said, “I was afraid that you would feel uncomfortable, so 1 wanted to disturb you a little more to distract you. That way, you wouldn’t dwell on those sad thoughts.”
When Lu Zhi heard that, a hint of gratitude flashed across his dark eyes.
He stretched out his long arms and pulled her into his embrace. He rested his chin on her forehead and said, “It’s indeed uncomfortable. Yining, 1 misunderstood my mother for twenty-five years.”
Twenty-five years… It wasn’t twenty-five days…
He thought of his past and felt like a fool.
He ignored, neglected, and allowed others to bully his mother. He remained indifferent.
He wished he could punch himself.
But even if he did, what could he change?
Regret, anger, helplessness… He was tangled up in his heart and felt really uncomfortable.
Therefore, he ran out and wanted to be alone.
Jiang Yining said in a low voice, “None of this is your fault. It was the previous generation who decided to conceal the truth from you two brothers. You were just kids, how could you think so much? As you grow older, your beliefs will be deeply ingrained, and you won’t even think about digging up the past.”
“All Zhi, don’t bla yourself too much. If you really feel sorry for Mom, you can make it up to her in the future.” Jiang Yining patted his chest gently. “Our mother is still young. She has a long life ahead of her. There would be plenty of opportunities to make ands for past mistakes. If you continue to dwell on the past and refuse to face reality, you’ll disappoint Mom and .”
Lu Zhi hugged her tighter.
The two of them stood by the lake in the cold wind for a long ti.
When they returned, their cheeks felt a bit chilly.
The housekeeper brewed ginger soup. Jiang Yining carried it and sat on the sofa. As she drank, she said in a boastful tone, “Hehe, luckily I wore a coat. Lu Zhi, you’ve been exposed to the cold wind for so long. You have to drink more ginger soup, or you’ll catch a cold.”
“I have a good physique,” Lu Zhi said calmly.
“No matter how good your body is, you can’t stop the virus from invading.” Jiang Yining refused to admit defeat.
Lu Zhi pinched her cheek. “Are you hoping that I’ll get sick?”
“No, I want to see you well.”
Jiang Yining sensed danger and imdiately changed her words.
Lu Zhi snorted lightly and didn’t argue with her.
After finishing the cup of ginger soup.
Jiang Yining got up. “Mom should be awake by now. 1’11 go call her for dinner.”
Lu Zhi remained silent.
Jiang Yining had just walked to the door of the guest room and hadn’t even touched the doorknob yet.
The door opened from the inside.
Shen Man was a little embarrassed as she said, “I’m already awake.”
Jiang Yining guessed that she had probably been awake for a while but felt awkward coming out.
She took a step forward and held Shen Man’s hand as she said, “Mom, when All Zhi and I ca back, we went to the mall to buy you so clothes and so daily necessities. See if it suits you. If it doesn’t, I’ll get the servants to go out and buy it imdiately.”
“The one you bought will definitely be suitable.”
Shen Man said cautiously.
“Co on, take a look.”
Jiang Yining brought her into the living room.
Lu Zhi called out calmly when he saw her coming out, “Mom.”
Shen Man was stunned for a mont before she nodded. “Eh.”
Jiang Yining took the things out of the shopping bag and said, “Mom, Ah Zhi picked these for you. He has better taste than . You will definitely look very beautiful in them.”
“Yes, they were indeed beautiful.”
Shen Man spoke with a nasal voice.
Jiang Yining stuffed the clothes into her arms and said, “Mom, go try them on.”
“Yes.”
Shen Man nodded and wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes.
She was really happy today.
It felt like a dream.
If it was really a dream, she wished never to wake up..
