Chapter 50: How Can People Change Just Like That?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Jin Nian was fiddling with the flowers and plants on the windowsill, and her mother’s indignant voice could be heard. Pedestrians and vehicles came and went downstairs. From a high place, they looked like ants and beetles in a hurry. The rain outside the window seemed to be releasing her emotions.
She did not understand. How could people change so easily? Previously, when Jin Nian was with Jiang Qingchi, Zou Lanhua would hold her hand and ask about her well-being every time she saw her, saying that Jin Nian would be her biological daughter in the future. She even said that if Jiang Qingchi dared to let Jin Nian down, as his mother, she would be the first to object.
That day at the hotel, Zou Lanhua knew what Jiang Qingchi had gone behind Jin Nian’s back, but she chose to protect her son without hesitation. In some ways, she did not do anything wrong. After all, Jiang Qingchi was her biological son who she had raised hard. However, she was also a woman. Did she not feel the slightest bit of guilt towards herself?
In the beginning, when Jiang Qingchi could not even afford to pay for the basement rent, Jin Nian had to pay for him with her own money. Until last year, when Jiang Qingchi’s movie had not been released yet, he still did not have much money and often only ate one meal a day. Jin Nian felt sorry for him, so she would buy some fish and meat from the market every time and send them to him after she cooked them at home.
Therefore, whether it was love or money, Jin Nian felt that she had a clear conscience. If she had to say that she owed someone, it was Jiang Qingchi who owed her. Now, Jin Nian did not want to have any more contact with this family, nor did she want to hear any news about Jiang Qingchi. Jin Nian had never thought of coveting a single cent of the deposit and the money for the hotel reservation.
Tan Siyun: “She called me in a weird way to disgust me. Does she really think I’m easy to bully?! None of his family are good! You can’t control your own son and you dare to point fingers at my child. What kind of person are you! If she dares to appear again, watch how I deal with her!”
Jin Nian’s hand that was holding the phone was stiff, so she had to switch to the other hand to continue listening to Tan Siyun’s complaints. The cursing on the other end of the phone surprisingly made her feel at ease.
“It’s really funny. Our child has a diploma and looks. What kind of good man can’t she find in the future? I did not let her go easy. I just told her to wait and see. In the future, the husband my daughter finds will definitely be a thousand times better than her bastard son!”
“Mom…” Jin Nian called out weakly when she was talking, but Ms. Tan did not give her a chance to interrupt, “Who cares about their money! It’s embarrassing enough to be entangled with people like them!”
Jin Nian had mustered up her courage to tell Teacher Tan about her impulsive marriage with Lu An. However, Tan Siyun interrupted her when she was about to speak. She could not muster the courage to speak again. She was afraid that Teacher Tan would break her legs if she said anything.
She did not even dare to think about how her family would react if they found out about her sudden marriage.
Jin Nian had just publicly broken off the engagement in front of all her relatives, and now she was getting married impulsively. No one would be able to accept it. Forget it, it was better not to confess first. She would hide it for as long as she could.
Teacher Tan was also tired of scolding: “By the way, is the household registration book with you?”
Jin Nian felt guilty, “Yes, I have it. What’s wrong?”
“Fortunately, you did not register your marriage with Jiang Qingchi. Otherwise, it would have been even more troublesome. This family isn’t someone you can handle.” Teacher Tan let out a long sigh, “Bring your household registration book with you next time you go home. I need to use it.”
“Got it.”
“Alright, I won’t talk to you anymore, in case you think I’m dawdling again.”
“No, I don’t mind.” Jin Nian was really grateful to Tan Siyun, “Mom, I’m serious. If it weren’t for you, I really wouldn’t know what to do. Everyone said that I was insensible and blamed me. Only you stood on the same side as me. Actually, I’ve been very upset these days, but seeing that you understand me, I’m not afraid of anything else.”
“Id**t, I’m your mother. Of course, I’ll side with you. Let’s not talk about it first. I have something to do here.”
“Alright, I’ll go to work too.” After Tan Siyun hung up the phone, Jin Nian stood by the window in a daze. It was raining outside. It was the first rain since autumn. The sudden rainstorm washed away the long-lasting heat and washed the entire city clean.
Just let the rainstorm wash away all the messy thoughts. The sun will come out after the rain..
