Chapter 97 Jiang Sifan: He's not my father, I don't acknowledge him.
night.
After returning to her dormitory, Jiang Silu leaned on the balcony railing and called Jiang Yixia.
"Hey, Mom~ what are you doing~" Jiang Silu asked curiously.
Jiang Yixia had just returned home. While answering the phone, she opened the door and said, "Mom just got home."
"Oh? You're closing up shop and going home so early today? Are you feeling unwell?" Jiang Silu knew that, given Jiang Yixia's personality, unless she had a headache or fever, she would never be home by 8 p.m., even in windy or rainy weather.
Jiang Yixia hesitated for a moment before finally revealing her reason.
"I went to the hospital," she explained.
Sure enough, Jiang Silu immediately tensed up upon hearing this: "You went to the hospital? What happened? Are you feeling unwell?"
"It wasn't me," Jiang Yixia replied. "This morning, the flower shop's roller shutter door broke, and I couldn't pull it up no matter what I tried. Then... then..."
Jiang Silu asked anxiously, "What happened next?"
"Later, your dad came and opened the roller shutter door." Jiang Yixia hesitated for a moment before saying, "But he accidentally cut his hand. It was a bit serious, so I went to the hospital. The doctor said there are many nerves in the palm area, and I need to stay in the hospital for observation."
"Huh?" Jiang Silu asked with some concern, "Is it that serious?...?"
"Hmm." Jiang Yixia knew that Lu Fan had bought clothes and shoes for Jiang Silu and even took her out for Western food. She figured her daughter's attitude towards her father must have softened considerably.
So she advised, "If you have time, send him a message to say hello."
"Okay..." Jiang Silu didn't know whether she should send the message or not, but she subconsciously agreed.
She also told Jiang Yixia about going to her classmate's house today.
Upon learning this, Jiang Yixia instructed, "If you don't like her brother, just refuse him directly and frankly. Don't be shy."
"Okay, I understand. I just sometimes don't know how to refuse others..." Jiang Silu whispered.
"Don't worry about what will happen after you refuse. That's what happens after you refuse, Lulu. You've always been suppressing your own feelings since you were little. Sometimes you have your own ideas, but you still follow other people's advice. You need to remember that you need to follow your own ideas, understand?"
Jiang Silu nodded: "Yes, I understand, Mom."
She glanced at the time and said anxiously, "Mom, I have to go now, I need to draw. The artwork is due in a week."
"Okay, don't overwork yourself. Rest when you need to, okay?" Jiang Yixia said with concern.
"I know~"
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Silu returned to her desk and chair and continued drawing.
He kept drawing until 11 p.m.
Although Song Miaomiao and Lu Yao were still playing on their phones in the dorm, Jiang Silu still tactfully asked, "It's late, I'll turn off the lights for you guys~"
As she spoke, she ran to turn off the lights, while covering the computer screen with her clothes to lower the brightness as much as possible.
Song Miaomiao became concerned: "Lulu, we don't want to sleep yet. It's okay. If you want to draw, just turn on the light."
"Yes, Lulu, you'll become nearsighted if you keep doing that," Lu Yao reminded her.
Hearing this, Jiang Silu was also moved.
But a dormitory is not your own room after all.
She couldn't let her drawing disturb her roommates' rest.
After drawing for another half hour, Jiang Silu went to bed.
The deadline is five days away, although there's still enough time.
However, this is my first design, so I need to allow plenty of time for my seniors to review it.
But drawing in the dorm would affect Miaomiao and Yaoyao's rest time.
Maybe I should find a hotel to stay in for the next few days.
Although Jiang Silu has not yet found out the prices of hotels outside the school.
Even if it costs 100 yuan a night, you can still afford it if you grit your teeth and stick with it for five days.
Jiang Silu decided to go all out for this design!
I'll find a hotel tomorrow!
at the same time.
Jiang Yixia noticed that her son, Jiang Sifan, hadn't made any moves for several days.
I thought he was still busy with his own startup.
Thinking of this, she dialed Jiang Sifan's number.
"Hey, Sifan, did I disturb you?" Jiang Yixia asked tentatively.
Jiang Sifan smiled and said, "Mom, I just got back to my dorm."
"You're back in the dorm so late?" Jiang Yixia asked with some concern. "Where did you go?"
"I'm going to start my own business!" Jiang Sifan exclaimed excitedly. "Mom, I've met a benefactor!"
"What important person? Tell Mom." Jiang Yixia felt relieved to see that Jiang Sifan seemed to be in a good mood today, having shaken off the gloom of the past few days.
Jiang Sifan said angrily, "Mom, I was actually scammed when I started my business. I'm so angry. Those two senior brothers are no good."
"But I didn't give up. Then, my partner met a lawyer at a law firm by chance. After she learned about our situation, she helped us find shops and talk to the owners about cooperation. As of today, we have cooperated with eight shops!"
"And the lawyer also said she would help us collect evidence to sue that company."
"That feels so good!"
Seeing how enthusiastically Jiang Sifan was speaking, Jiang Yixia understood that Lu Fan was secretly helping her behind the scenes.
Although that guy is sometimes unreliable, no, not sometimes, but most of the time!
But they really did a good job in helping the children.
Sometimes, due to financial circumstances, she couldn't provide her children with the best.
I often feel guilty.
Lu Fan's arrival may be able to fill this void.
Although she also taught her children not to be too materialistic, Jiang Yixia also knew that they were human beings.
Humans have emotions.
There will be comparisons.
So she said with relief, "Sifan, you've already done very well compared to your peers. Remember to get plenty of rest, okay?"
"Got it!" Jiang Sifan was now full of energy. He even boasted, "Mom, don't worry, I'll start my own business from my freshman year. By the end of my senior year, I might be able to save up a few hundred thousand yuan. Then I'll pick a nice neighborhood and buy an apartment. We'll own a real house of our own!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yixia's eyes welled up with tears.
In terms of filial piety, both children are truly filial.
She even felt guilty for not giving her child the best because of her filial piety.
Seeing that Jiang Yixia hadn't responded for a while, Jiang Sifan tentatively asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"
"No...it's nothing," Jiang Yixia said with a smile. "Mom is just so happy that you've grown up."
"By the way, Mom, has he been bothering you lately? If so, let me know and I'll head back to Guangzhou right away." Jiang Sifan suddenly remembered that Lu Fan had opened a pastry shop in front of Jiang Yixia's flower shop.
Seeing this, Jiang Yixia spoke up for Lu Fan, hoping to make a good impression on Jiang Sifan: "Don't worry, your dad respects me a lot."
"He's not my father, I don't acknowledge him," Jiang Sifan said defiantly. "Anyway, he's been gone for eighteen years, and we're still doing just fine. I can support this family even without him."
"Thinking of the mortal world..."
"Okay, Mom, you should rest too. Don't work too hard. Don't worry, I will definitely do my best! I promise I will not neglect my studies or my business!" Jiang Sifan promised.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yixia looked at her phone screen. Just a moment ago, she really wanted to tell Jiang Sifan about Lu Fan's secret help in starting a business.
This will change his opinion of his father.
But she was also afraid that her son was too stubborn and might not be able to handle it once he found out.
"Sigh... let's find the right time."
