Chapter 404
She Is From The Countryside
?
404 let her go and persuade him first
su mu was already there when they went up. he was alone.
The four of them sat in a private room. When Shi Yan was eight years old, the four of them had also come to eat here, and they had also used this private room.
âyanyan, do you still remember this place?â su mu asked with a smile after they were seated.
shi yan poured a glass of lemon water for each of them and replied with a smile,âi remember.â
Su mu didnât mention that he often came here to eat in the nine years when Shi Yan had disappeared. He only smiled and said, after so many years, the taste of the dishes here is still the same as before. There are not many changes, but there are a few new signature dishes. Iâve ordered them all. You can try them later.
There were only a few signature dishes in the restaurant, and since they were eating by themselves and there were no outsiders, su mu had arrived first and ordered the dishes.
âalright,â he said.
su mu had ordered the dishes first, and the dishes were served not long after they sat down.
they would also chat during the meal. most of the time, su mu would ask them where they had gone to play that afternoon and if they had encountered any interesting things. After knowing that they were going to the forest Park, he asked about the environment there. If it was not bad, he would ask his friends to go to the forest Park with him next time.
in short, the meal was quite pleasant.
su mu wasnât a talkative person, so he was the one who livened up the atmosphere among the four of them.
However, when su Yunzhi saw su mu like this, her expression was a little dazed. For a few moments, she felt like she was looking at an old friend. not only did su mu look like his father, but his true nature had also been exposed. he was not as cold and quiet as he looked on the surface, and even his character was very much like his father.
as soon as they left the restaurant, they could clearly sense that something was on su yunzhiâs mind.
shi yan and su mu took it all in.
they looked at each other.
on the way back, shi yan took su muâs car.
sitting in the front passenger seat, shi yan said,âlittle aunt seems to have something on her mind.â
âI heard that my mother and her childhood playmates used to go to the restaurant we went to today. My father was one of her childhood playmates.â su muâs expression turned a little gloomy when he mentioned the person whose memory was about to blur.
âSince you already know, why did you still choose this restaurant to eat?â Shi Yan was a little puzzled.
âThere are two reasons why I chose this restaurant,â su mu said while looking at her.
âfirst, when you came to haicheng, our family had a meal here. youâve been away from hanhan for so many years, and iâve always wanted our family to go to this restaurant again. Secondly, there are too many memories of my parents here. Itâs not good for my mom to keep avoiding them.â
âitâs been twenty years. itâs time for my mother to get over it. I want to get married to hai LAN next year. When we get married, my mother will be alone. She will be very lonely.â
âI hope she can find a companion for herself. The third uncle of the Jiang family has been waiting for her for many years, and heâs a good candidate, but all of this is based on the premise that my mom can get over her past. Sheâs been avoiding and trapping herself in the past, and itâs difficult for her to accept new people.â
It was indeed cruel for little aunt to dissect her past, but she had to admit that it was a good way for her to walk out of her past.
âIndeed, little aunt canât trap herself like this for the rest of her life,â Shi Yan said.
however, how could anyone else interfere in this matter? if they didnât really love each other to the extreme, why would youngest aunt trap herself for twenty years?
the only thing they could do was to guide her as much as possible.
An idea came to su mu. Yanyan, my mother has always favored you. Maybe if you go and talk to her, sheâll be willing to listen? â
âitâs not good for me to say anything about yingluo.â
it wasnât that he didnât want to, but he didnât know how to say it.
Before she had someone in her heart, she would feel that those who had left had left for so many years and those who were alive could not continue living in the past. They had to live well. Now that she had someone in her heart, she could more or less understand her auntâs feelings.
The light in su MUâs eyes suddenly dimmed and he was filled with disappointment.
âWhy donât I try to mention it tonight?â Shi Yan hesitated for a moment.
âSure!â
âmy mom should be able to accept it if you bring it up. sheâs only forty-six years old, and sheâs still so young. if sheâs alone for the rest of her life, itâll be too cruel to her. â
He had always been alone, so he wasnât that cruel. having it and then losing it, and then holding onto the memory for the rest of her life, that was really cruel.

âYanyan, do you want to go out?â
when it was almost nine o âclock, shi yan came out of her room and went downstairs. she happened to meet su wan, who was preparing milk and fruits for her downstairs.
Shi Yan stopped in her tracks when she saw the glass of warm milk and a plate of cut fruits on the tray su Wan was carrying.
âI ate a little too much tonight, so Iâm going for a walk in the yard.â
âdo you want mommy to accompany you?â
âno need, iâll just walk around the entrance.â
âThen, Zhenzhenâ
âMom, is the milk for me?â Shi Yan interrupted her.
su wanâs disappointed expression immediately disappeared, and her eyes lit up. â â yes, itâs for you. i thought you might be reading in your room, so i brought it to you. â
After they returned, they sat in the living room for a while before returning to their rooms. Shi Yan naturally returned to her room.
She was indeed reading when she returned to her room.
He had gone out at this time because he had received a message from su mu. He said that su Yunzhi was sitting on the swing in the courtyard again and asked Shi Yan to go and persuade her.
Su mu had seen this kind of situation for many years. Every time he saw it, he would feel bad.
However, he didnât know what he could do, so he tried his best to make su Yunzhi worry less about him. Whenever she sat in the courtyard for a long time, he would call her into the house.
when he was young, he used the excuse of asking her to teach him questions he didnât know. when he grew up, he used the excuse of discussing company matters.
Now that the situation in the SU family had stabilized, the power of the SU family had gradually been transferred to him. He could completely take charge of one side of the business, and he could no longer find an excuse to call her into the house.
Shi Yan walked over and picked up the milk. She smiled and said,âthe milk will probably be cold by the time i come back. iâll drink it now.â
su wan was overjoyed. â thatâs right! the milk will probably be cold by the time you get back. itâs the best time to drink it now! â
he finished it in one gulp.
âMom, Iâll go out first. You rest early, donât wait for me.â
itâs only nine O âclock now. Itâs still early. I still have to watch the TV series for a while. it was to tell shi yan that she was not sleeping yet.
shi yan didnât insist. he put the glass of milk back on the tray. he wanted to say some polite words to trouble her to wash the glass, but he stopped himself.
He only smiled at su Wan and left with his phone.
he went straight to the swing courtyard that su yunzhi often went to.
It was just behind the main building.
when shi yan arrived, su yunzhi was still sitting on the swing.
Standing behind her, Shi Yan couldnât see her expression. She could only see her hands holding the swing and shaking it gently.
Shi Yan wasnât an emotional person, but when she saw su Yunzhiâs back, she also felt a little upset.
The SU familyâs second miss had supported the SU family at a young age. After her childhood sweetheartâs husband passed away in an accident, she did not collapse. She supported the SU family and raised her son. Everyone who saw her would praise her for being a strong woman.
