Chapter 127 I Want to Say a Few More Words to You
Withered trees sprout new buds, and tender green adorns the landscape with the colors of spring.
The weather was nice today, and it was the weekend, so Teacher Zhou took An Jiaren out early in the morning.
How can she ask questions if she doesn't go out?
These past few days, every time she walks down the hallway to and from get off work, she smells the aroma of vegetables wafting from across the hall and sees the light on in Teacher An's apartment. It's like an itch that's been nagging at her.
I really want to grab Teacher An and ask: What is your relationship with Leng Shize?
Now, she finally got her chance.
Teacher Zhou took a bite of the cherry cake in front of her, unable to suppress her curiosity.
"Tell me honestly, what's wrong with the men in your family?"
An Jiaren glanced at Teacher Zhou. Things had come to this point, and there was no need to hide it anymore.
She confessed everything, "My real name is Leng Jiaren, and I'm the adopted younger sister of Leng Shize's family..."
The sun was shining brightly, warming everyone, and the café was packed with people.
From the corner, exclamations like "Ah," "Oh," "Good heavens," and "That's so unfair!" could be heard from time to time from Teacher Zhou.
The soft, soothing music playing in the coffee shop couldn't mask the surprise and regret in her voice.
More than twenty minutes later, An Jiaren finally finished recounting her life story.
After taking a large gulp of coffee, Ms. Zhou finally calmed the tangled emotions within her. She concluded:
"This means that Xiaoyue is Special Envoy Leng's biological daughter."
An Jiaren nodded.
Are you considering whether or not to marry him?
An Jiaren nodded again.
Teacher Zhou gently tapped the table, "What's there to consider!"
Special Envoy Leng, so many people are captivated by his charisma.
Sleeping with such a beautiful person every day, even nightmares should include a hero rescuing the damsel in distress.
An Jiaren stirred the coffee in her cup, her gaze lingering blankly as she looked out the window at the rare blue sky and white clouds.
"At my age, it doesn't make any difference whether I get married or not."
"Tsk~" Teacher Zhou disagreed with her statement and patted the back of her hand, which had needle marks from the injections she received during her hospitalization.
"How can there be no difference between being married and not being married? Take your illness this time, for example. Look at Xiaoyue, how hard she works all by herself. If you were married, when you get old and go to the hospital, at least you would have someone to take care of you and help you pay the bills and sign the papers."
Teacher Zhou has been through this before. There are four elderly people in her family who are getting on in years, and every year one of them has to stay in the hospital for ten days or half a month.
She truly understood the difference between having children to accompany her and not having children to accompany her.
With the cooperation of family members, everything can be sorted out. For patients who can find their family members to sign the consent form, everyone from doctors to caregivers speaks to you in a friendly and amicable manner.
Some patients have no children to help them, and they can't even hold their bladder or bladder, nor can they call for help. Medical staff are already exhausted from their work, and they have to change your sheets and blankets three or four times a day. Even the best-tempered person will get annoyed. It's so pitiful to see.
"Besides, he has always had feelings for you. You grew up together and know each other well. He's also successful and has a stable job. He's so much better than all the other guys who pursued you before."
It's so difficult for a woman to live alone with a child, and Teacher Zhou saw it all in An Jiaren.
Teacher An has a stable job and her daughter has outstanding academic achievements, yet both of them have had such difficult lives.
Therefore, given that there are good people out there, Teacher Zhou still hopes that Teacher An will get married.
Now that she's married and has a man in the house, those toads don't dare to mess with Teacher An anymore.
In the workplace, knowing that Anjia people have powerful backers can reduce unfair treatment.
Take this job transfer, for example. With Teacher An's abilities, being assigned to be an early childhood educator is a waste of her talents.
In life, having someone to talk to and someone to comfort you when you're unhappy is important.
An Jiaren listened to everything Teacher Zhou said.
She has many reasons to get married, and one reason not to get married.
“But if we get married, people will definitely criticize us. I was adopted by the Leng family when I was less than six months old. In the eyes of outsiders, we are undoubtedly like siblings.”
Teacher Zhou shifted her body and leaned back in her chair. She finally understood that this was what Teacher An truly cared about.
“You are An Jiaren now, an English teacher, not Leng Jiaren. Even if others point out your identity, so what? You two weren’t siblings to begin with.”
An Jiaren's expression was solemn; she was still afraid. "Teacher Zhou, you don't understand. He's an important official, after all!"
"Important officials aren't ordinary people; they still eat, drink, and have basic human desires. If he wants to marry you, all the troubles that might arise are things he, as a man, should handle. Just answer one question: do you want to marry him? That's enough!"
Teacher Zhou explained it so simply, An Jiaren couldn't help but imagine what she would do if Leng Shize wasn't an important official but just an ordinary person.
Without hesitation, she would agree to get married.
Seeing that An Jiaren's expression softened, Teacher Zhou already had his answer.
Special Envoy Leng, by helping you, I'm also helping Teacher An and Xiaoyue. You'll have to work hard on the road ahead.
An Jiaren was lost in thought when her phone rang. She picked up the phone from the table and looked at it.
I silently recited the phone number in my mind; it seemed somewhat familiar.
"Hey?"
Are you still shopping?
It was indeed my second brother's call; he was the one who sent that message.
An Jiaren was displeased. "How did you know my phone number?"
"I got it while drinking tea on New Year's Eve."
After thinking it over, An Jiaren realized that her second brother had only touched her things when she finished drinking tea and got dressed.
Given my second brother's intelligence and talent, he probably succeeded around that time.
An Jiaren compromised and said, "Okay, tell me, why are you making that call?"
Leng Shi noticed her dissatisfaction, but he couldn't be soft-hearted if he wanted to achieve his goal. "While you're shopping, buy me a red tie and some black stockings."
"Light red, bright red, deep red, wine red, vermilion...which one?"
An Jiaren rattled off a list of colors as if they were her own treasures, though her tone was harsh. But she was still willing to buy them for him, which made Teacher Zhou smile secretly.
It's rare to see Teacher An, who is usually as gentle and kind as a spring breeze, get impatient.
"Rouge or maroon are both fine." He deliberately didn't choose from the colors An Jiaren had given him.
An Jiaren said with slight anger, "Then why didn't you just say those two colors!"
Leng Shize chuckled softly and said, "I wanted to talk to you a little longer."
Without saying a word, An Jiaren slammed down the phone and took a big gulp of her Fu Rui Bai.
"Want me to buy you an iced Americano to cool you down?" Teacher Zhou asked with a smile, her teasing tone quite obvious. It would be very interesting if Teacher An were in a relationship.
An Jiaren awkwardly avoided Teacher Zhou's gaze, "No need."
"See, isn't life interesting and fulfilling?"
I'm so angry I could die!
An Jiaren had just finished speaking when her phone beeped again.
She picked it up and saw a bank notification that her second brother had transferred money to her, with a note saying: "The rest is for delivery fees."
Who could charge as much as 110,000 for a delivery service!
"They always have to call and mess with my mindset when I'm enjoying a good life!"
Annoyed, An Jia put her phone back in the gap behind the sofa back, trying to avoid seeing it.
Teacher Zhou and Teacher Zhong have been inseparable for over twenty years. She understands men's tricks: "He's just trying to get attention."
