Ye Yuan knocked on the office door: “Mr. Lu, the meeting is about to begin.”
Lu Qingyan’s gaze fell on Jiang Nanshu, who was lounging on the sofa, seemingly lost in thought.
He stood up and handed her a white box.
“Your old phone was with your brothers, so I bought you a new one. The number is still the same SIM card. You can play on your phone if you’re bored.”
Jiang Nanshu immediately perked up.
She was just about to ask Ye Yuan to run errands and buy her a mobile phone.
It was like a timely pillow being handed to her when she was sleepy.
Jiang Nanshu gave him a genuine smile and said in a sweet tone, “Thank you, Ah Yan.”
With her words, their cold war seemed to have ended as if nothing had happened.
Lu Qingyan’s mood brightened considerably: “I’ll be back to be with you soon.”
Jiang Nanshu hurriedly took apart her phone and retrieved her old contacts.
Importing old WeChat messages almost crashed her new phone.
She looked closely and saw that both her parents were sending messages to her WeChat account.
Next were her older brothers and Jiang Leyi, each with 99+ messages.
Jiang Nanshu casually scrolled through them.
Most of Jiang’s father’s words were filled with guilt toward her, saying that if she could wake up, he would do everything he could to make it up to her.
The messages came intermittently, except for the first year or so after she left, and only occasionally, a message would pop up every few months.
Jiang’s mother kept begging for forgiveness, saying that she was going to die and wanted to come and keep her company so that she wouldn’t be lonely in the underworld, and that they could be mother and daughter again in the next life.
Jiang Nanshu refused.
She definitely didn’t want to have a mother like her in her next life.
If she became a mother in the future, she would love her children unconditionally. She would believe in them, she wouldn’t hit or scold them, and she would teach them how to be good people, reason with them, and teach them to love the world.
Having experienced pain, she wanted to leave the beautiful side of her children.
Therefore, she and Jiang’s mother were destined to have no mother-daughter relationship.
After thinking for a moment, she typed a reply to her: [Don’t wait for me on the road to the underworld. We may not be on the same path. In the next life, let’s not be mother and daughter. It’s good enough if we are just strangers. I don’t want to dwell on the grudges of the past. We are destined to be apart.]
Jiang’s mother was suitable to be their mother, but not hers.
If only she had not stood by Song Yichen’s side without hesitation when he bullied her, Jiang Nanshu thought that the ending might have been different.
Then she checked Jiang Yisen’s messages.
In the first year, he apologized to her.
In the second year, he sent her many photos of the sea.
In the third year, he said that he was in a relationship, but he wouldn’t reveal who it was. (T/N: Wow, is it the one in my mind? Hehe…)
In the fourth year, the Jiang family was suppressed by Lu Qingyan, and their business shrank.
In the fifth year, he hoped that she could come home.
She scrolled through the chat box and then looked at Jiang Jingcheng’s WeChat.
The Second Brother was a man of few words, just like everyone else.
In the first year, he received several medals, which were awards for outstanding doctors.
In the second year, he complained that Jiang’s father, unable to persuade Jiang Yisen to marry, was targeting him instead, and he got a headache every time he saw those blind dates.
In the third year, he said that he might never get married in his life.
In the fourth year, he sent a bunch of Ji’s mother’s medical reports, saying that he had cured her mother.
In the fifth year, he hoped that she would come home.
