Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

That's why Lin An forced himself not to say anything, planning to wait until Xu Wanning had a rest before telling her.

But Xu Wanning was so perceptive that she quickly noticed something was wrong with Chu Nian.

"Did Chu Nian encounter any problems during the days I was away?"

Chu Nian hurriedly shook her head: "Without my aunt, I'm fine."

"Chuniang, since you call me aunt, you should know that you should be brave enough to tell me when something happens, instead of hiding it from me. This is really not a good way to deal with it. Tell me, what happened?"

"Aunt, I..." Chu Nian's eyes instantly turned red, and she bit her lips tightly. After a long while, she whispered, "Is my mother really going to get married? After she gets married, can Chu Lin and I still live in your house?"

Chu Nian wanted to take Chu Lin with her and live with Lin Quan.

But she knew in her heart that life was difficult for a remarried woman, and she and Chu Lin might be regarded as a burden.

No matter how much mom cares about them, there are times when she can't take care of them. Will she and Chu Lin be bullied?

She is not afraid of being bullied, but she cannot tolerate her younger brother being bullied.

If Chu Lin was bullied, she would definitely not be able to help but quarrel with others. Then, would her mother have a hard time in the new family?

Moreover, she didn't want to meet new people or enter a new family. She just wanted to live with her uncle, aunt, grandmother, brothers and sisters...

Xu Wanning didn't know that in such a short period of time, Chu Nian's mind had already been flashing with a hundred or eighty thoughts.

She sighed inaudibly and gently stroked Chu Nian's head with her right hand. "Silly girl, what are you thinking about? This is not only our home, but also yours and Chu Lin's home. As long as you and Chu Lin don't want to leave, no one can drive you away."

"That's right! Sister Chu Nian, I've told you many times that although you were born to my aunt, my parents have long treated you as their own child. In the past few years, whatever I have, you and your younger brother Chu Lin will definitely have as well. They are never partial, and they never favor one over the other."

"As long as you don't want to move out, no one will chase you away. Just live in my house peacefully!"

Finally, Jin Chu tilted his head and looked at Xu Wanning, his eyes flashing with gossip: "By the way, mom, who is the person that aunt is looking for? What is that person like? Is he good to aunt?"

Xu Wanning frowned slightly: "Where did you hear the news that my aunt is getting married?"

As for the affair between Lin Quan and Ma Likai, she was the one who noticed something was wrong in the beginning. From the time she discovered it to the time Lin Quan broke off her relationship with Ma Likai, it was only a week.

Logically speaking, this matter shouldn't be made public for everyone to know about. How come several children knew about it?

Jinchu explained: "Haven't we been staying in the clothing store these past two days? The business is very good, with people coming and going every day. We heard the news from the customers of the clothing store."

But Jinchu was a child after all, and she didn't explain many details clearly, so Xu Wanning was confused.

Lin An added, "I heard from my mom that a director of Beijing No. 1 Hospital was going to Shanghai Province to attend a meeting. He heard that our clothing store makes suits, so he took his wife with him. When we were measuring the sizes, we started chatting and heard that Dr. Ma from the pediatric department had found a partner whose family was well-off."

The director said that Ma Likai’s girlfriend had average work ability, but her brother and sister-in-law were very successful, especially her sister-in-law, who opened several restaurants. She was also a top student and very rich. Her brother was also a leader in the army, and her family also opened a clothing store...

Although Ma Likai's partner was not mentioned by name, all the conditions referred to Lin Quan.

Xu Wanning did not hide the matter of Lin Quan and Ma Likai from Lin's mother, but told her everything, so Lin's mother also knew what the Ma family was.

That day in the garment store, when Lin's mother heard the director say that, she changed the subject in a few words, but the children still heard it.

"Aunt, is Mom really going to marry that Doctor Ma?"

Xu Wanning couldn't help but sigh.

The world is a circle, and a very small one at that.

She feels that hiding some things from children would have the opposite effect.

If Chu Lin had asked this question, Xu Wanning could have still evaded the question, but Chu Nian was different.

Although Chu Nian is only seven or eight years old, her mental age is at least eleven or twelve. Moreover, this child is sensitive and suspicious. Keeping things secret from her will only backfire.

"Your mother did spend some time with Dr. Ma some time ago, but as they got to know each other better, she realized that they were not suitable for each other, so she ended the relationship early. She will not marry Dr. Ma."

"Of course, your mother is still young, and there are countless possibilities in the future. She may meet someone she can spend her life with. No one can predict. You just need to know that your mother loves you, and she will never abandon you no matter what."

"In addition to your mother, you also have your grandmother and your uncle and aunt. We are all a family. So Chu Nian, no matter what happens, you must not keep it in your heart. You must communicate with the elders in time, understand?"

Chu Nian nodded vigorously, "As long as mom doesn't abandon us, that's fine."

Xu Wanning didn't know how to respond for a moment.

She suddenly thought of the time when she met Ma Likai and Lin Quan spent nearly two hundred yuan to buy a remote control car for Ma Likai's son at the Friendship Store.

As for Ma Likai, he really didn't buy anything for Chu Nian and Chu Lin just because Lin Quan said it wasn't necessary.

The children were not short of material things. As for remote control cars, Xu Wanning asked Boss Yang to send the latest models from Guangzhou, which were better than those sold in the Friendship Store. But this also indirectly confirmed that Ma Likai did not care about Lin Quan, and therefore did not care about her two children.

Chu Nian had been depressed for the past few days because of this incident, and even the comfort from her grandmother and uncle was of no use. However, Xu Wanning just said a few words and her mood miraculously improved.

"Aunt, we have finished our homework, can we go out and play for a while?"

"Of course. If you want to play with friends in the yard, bring your own water bottles. It's a hot day now, so you need to replenish water in time, okay?"

"Got it, Mom. Mom, can we have a few popsicles? When we were eating yesterday, Xiaotao and the others looked at us pitifully, and I want to share them with them."

There is always a shortage of snacks in the Lin family’s refrigerator.
