“I’m really happy that you’ve recovered. I have to eat more tonight.” Shen Jing said.
Zhuang Liu then said, “Rourou said that it’s good that you have a good appetite, but you must remember not to eat anything cold.”
Shen Jing smiled and promised again, “I will definitely listen to Rourou.”
Zhuang Liu also smiled. “That’s good.”
Shen Jing was stunned. “Son, did you just smile at me just now?”
Zhuang Liu paused. “What’s wrong?”
Shen Jing said sadly, “It’s just that ever since you were injured, you haven’t smiled much. It’s been a long time since we’ve had a good conversation.”
“Mom, 1’11 talk to you more in the future,” Zhuang Liu comforted her.
Shen Jing held her son’s hand and said, “Rourou has really changed you a lot.”
“I’ve been to Rourou’s house and I’ve seen the way they get along. Everyone seems happy. Xiao Ron’s father is a strict yet gentle man, her mother is also a gentle woman but passionate at the same time. Xiao Ron’s second brother is an interesting person, while Xiao Ron’s younger brother was also very hospitable. Their family is filled with warmth and happiness. This feeling is something I have never felt in the Zhuang family.”
“I’m sorry.” Shen Jing apologized to Zhuang Liu, “1 have not been taking good care of you.”
“No.” Zhuang Liu shook his head. “It’s my fault for not being able to protect the both of you. Now that my legs have recovered, let me protect you two in the future.”
Shen Jing patted his hand. “Alright. I’ll leave it up to you.”
The mother and son talked for a long time in the living room. Xiao Mo was bored, so he went to help the cook.
When Tan Rou woke up and saw that Zhuang Liu and his mother were talking privately. Perhaps they were talking about something happy, but Shen Jing’s laughter filled the entire living room. The soundproofing of the high-end villa was very good, so there was no need to worry about the people in the room being woken up.
Tan Rou looked at the mother and son in the living room from behind the storage rack. She felt that her efforts were not in vain, and Zhuang Liu did not blame her for it.
In fact, she knew that Zhuang Liu did not want Shen Jing to know about his pain during the treatment, but since they were here for the treatment, Shen Jing would definitely have to see it. Instead of stopping her from seeing it, it was better to let her witness it firsthand. Letting her witness her son’s legs recovering and venting her negative emotions appropriately would help relieve Shen Jing’s psychological pressure.
After the mother and son finished talking, Tan Rou came out from behind the storage rack.
When Shen Jing saw Tan Rou, she immediately left her son behind to look for her. “Rourou, 1 don’t know how to thank you.”
“That won’t be necessary.” Tan Rou said, “I’m going to charge you. Don’t be angry when I do so.”
Shen Jing laughed out loud. “Why would I be angry? Xiao Rou, I will give you as much as you want.”
Tan Rou also smiled. “Well, you can pay me all together once you have recovered too.”
After a while, dinner was ready. Tan Rou had a sumptuous meal. She had spent a lot of energy answering the papers and acupuncture today. She had to eat something good to make up for it.
Zhuang Liu would not be staying here tonight and so he could send Tan Rou back on the way.
Before they left the neighborhood, they met a familiar person.
“Mom, why are you here?” When Tan Rou saw Mother Tao, she quickly got Xiao Mo to stop the car and went to meet her.
When Mother Tao saw her daughter, she panicked and didn’t know where to hide.
“I…. I’m here for work.” Mrs. Tao made up an excuse. “Didn’t 1 tell you? The job that her mother found was to help others oversee the renovation.”
She majored in interior design in university. Although she had long returned her knowledge to her teacher, she could still use it as an excuse to fool her children.
“Didn’t you find a job that allows you to have the weekends off?” Tan Rou asked suspiciously. “Today is Saturday.”
Mother Tao’s eyes flickered. “Well, this…”
“Madam, you must be here to work overtime, right?” Xiao Mo suddenly said.
Mrs. Tao gave him a grateful look. “Yes, yes, yes. I’m here to work overtime. The owner is in a hurry to move in, so he asked me to keep an eye on him.”
Tan Rou was skeptical. “Really?”
Mrs. Tao used her trump card. “My dear daughter, don’t you believe me?”
Tan Rou had no choice but to believe her. “I believe you, I believe you. Mom, do you want to come with us?”
Only then did Mrs. Tao notice Zhuang Liu in the car.. “Oh, why are you with Zhuang Liu here?”
