This wasn't the first time Yan Nian hit Pei Jinling.
The last time she took action was still vivid in her mind. That time there was still a bit of timidity and inferiority in her eyes, the kind of inferiority born from feeling that she was not worthy of Jiang Beiyuan.
It's different now.
She loves him.
Because I love him, I want to do everything possible to protect him.
Pei Jinling wriggled her lips in a daze, and her delicate face changed from ferocious to calm.
The sadness remained in her eyes, the remnants of time.
What did she get
happy marriage
Do you love your husband
An outstanding son
Or enjoy endless glory and wealth
Suddenly, when I thought about it carefully, I realized there was none.
Yan Nian's slap really woke her up.
Once upon a time, there were times when she was young and ignorant, and there were times when she risked herself to love someone.
It was money and interests that inflated her ambitions and made her dissatisfied day by day until she became what she is today.
She blamed this and that like a shrew.
In fact, the person who should blame her most is herself.
She was so greedy that she lost her supposedly happy marriage and her son who should have been close to her.
Pei Jinling lowered her head and stared at her right hand.
She used this hand to hit Jiang Beiyuan in full view of everyone...
That was her only son...
Jiang Beiyuan's calm face came to mind.
He said coldly and calmly: "I finally let you down completely."
The look in his eyes when he said this made him relieved, as if he had been waiting for this day.
It turns out that everything she has made him bear since childhood actually weighed him down so heavily...
As the past scenes passed by, she suddenly discovered that the only day Jiang Beiyuan smiled the happiest was that day of his wedding. He held Yan Nian's hand in the sun and smiled like a childish child.
She... is really an unfit mother.
Yan Nian didn't know what Pei Jinling was thinking.
She took her hand back and squeezed her aching fingertips. The force was mutual. When she hit others, she would also feel the pain.
Now she just wanted to know where Jiang Beiyuan was, so she turned and left without saying anything more.
Ding Baoyi followed Yan Nian and looked at her sisters with adoring eyes for the first time.
"Here you go, that's great! What you said to Jiang Beiyuan just now was so damn cool!" Ding Baoyi gave Yan Nian a thumbs up.
Yan Nian was too lazy to pay attention to her flattery.
"I seem to have left my cell phone in your passenger seat. Please lend me your cell phone!"
"… good."
Ding Baoyi took out her mobile phone from her pocket.
Just as he was about to hand it over to Yan Nian, the caller's ringtone rang the next second, and the caller ID on it was Xu Kuangjie.
"Hello Xu Kuangjie?" Ding Baoyi answered the phone, her tone much more familiar than before.
“…”
Xu Kuangjie on the other end didn't know what he said to Ding Baoyi, but Ding Baoyi's face became more and more solemn.
After hanging up the phone, Ding Baoyi looked at Yan Nian and frowned.
"What's wrong?" Yan Nian saw that her face didn't look right.
"Oops, I don't know what happened. Your company suddenly caught fire. Xu Kuangjie said that Jiang Beiyuan's phone number couldn't be reached. I guess he went to find you!"
"What?!"
Yan Nian's head buzzed twice, and when he reacted, he immediately pushed Ding Baoyi away and ran out quickly.
That stupid man!
