Fu Jingwei had some things to do in the company in the afternoon, and Fu Yehan also had to go back to the company to deal with some things. After lunch, they sat for a while, then said goodbye and left.

Ye Qingluo had nothing to do in the afternoon, so at Fu Yehan's invitation, he followed Fu Yehan to Fu Group.

Ifyou, only Chu Tiankuo is still there and hasn't left.

"Auntie Lan." Chu Tiankuo sat on the sofa, looking unhappy. "Tell me, do I still have a chance?"

"Who is the man Fu Jingwei is talking about?" Tu Lan asked, "Have you heard of him?"

"I haven't heard of it." Chu Tiankuo speculated, "She liked him when she was in school. He was probably her former classmate."

Tu Lan sighed secretly, she also guessed this.

And he should be a male classmate who studies very well and excels in all aspects, otherwise Fu Jingwei would not be able to say things like "I dare not ask for it" and "I like him secretly".

But when Tu Lan thought about it, she felt that there seemed to be something contradictory.

If Fu Jingwei likes her former classmate, then there are two possibilities for Fu Yehan: either he knew it a long time ago, or he just found out.

If Fu Yehan had known this long ago, then his subsequent behavior would have been wrong. He shouldn't have known that Fu Jingwei had someone she liked, but he still went to her on purpose to ask her to help him use Ling Shi to provoke her son.

Even more wrong, he should not have asked his son to sign a three-year indenture contract and do compulsory labor.

But if Fu Yehan just found out that Fu Jingwei had someone she liked when she was in school and has liked that person until now, then he shouldn't have had no reaction at all.

Fu Yehan acted too calm.

"Aunt Lan, thank you for helping me find out what I want to know." Chu Tiankuo was polite but with a hint of loneliness. "I have something else to do on the mountain, so I won't bother you here."

"Kid," Tu Lan encouraged, "If you like it, go for it. Where's the energy you had chasing that big star before? How can you know it won't work if you don't try? Besides, didn't you say that Fu Yehan has agreed to help you? If you have any ideas, you can go and talk to Fu Yehan. He knows Fu Jingwei best. Let him give you some advice."

Chu Tiankuo was silent for a while and said, "It's different."

"What's the difference?" Tu Lan didn't understand.

"Fu Jingwei and Ling Xi are different." Chu Tiankuo said.

"What's different?" Tu Lan asked.

Chu Tiankuo thought for a moment and answered seriously, "I pursued Ling Xihe, even if she disagreed, even if I was courting her like a dog, I knew in my heart that there was nothing I couldn't do for her, so I pursued her calmly. But with Fu Jingwei, I knew from the beginning that I was courting someone above her level, not only because she was the daughter of the Fu family, but also because of her talent, ability, personality, and appearance. In short, in every aspect, I was courting someone above her level. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I'm just a real-life toad wanting to eat swan meat."

Few mothers can stand seeing their sons debase themselves in front of them.

Tu Lan felt so upset that she wanted to cry: "Kuo'er, don't underestimate yourself, you are not bad either."

Chu Tiankuo was still envious of the man Fu Jingwei had liked for a long time. Hearing this, his heart suddenly tightened and he looked up in a daze: "Auntie Lan, what did you call me just now?"

"Nothing." Tu Lan immediately changed the subject. "I just want to tell you that you are not as bad as you think. Even if Fu Jingwei has someone she likes, it doesn't mean she won't like you in the future. You have liked other girls before, but you also changed your mind after experiencing some things with other girls. It's not just you. Look at Fu Yehan's wife. Didn't that girl also love other men before? After meeting Fu Yehan, wasn't she taken down in a short time? So nothing is absolute."

Chu Tiankuo thought he had misheard and stopped worrying about what Tu Lan had called him. He focused his attention back on his own troublesome relationship issues.

It is not the most painful thing for a toad to want to eat swan flesh.

The most painful thing was that he had tasted the swan meat and was addicted to it, but he knew clearly that it was not a swan that belonged to him.

Can't let go.

Can't get it again.

"Aunt Lan."

Chu Tiankuo suddenly called Tu Lan, and then took out a cotton bag from his pocket. Inside was a wooden sculpture of a man lying on the grass when he was herding cattle, which he had painted himself.

He carved a young and beautiful woman in a flowing red dress, as beautiful as a fairy from heaven.

This was the first time Chu Tiankuo saw Tu Lan.

That day was his first day of elementary school. His father was on a business trip and had not returned, so the family driver took him to the school gate.

He met Tu Lan at the door of his classroom. Tu Lan and Fu Yehan were standing at the door of the classroom talking to the principal.

It was a very normal scene, but he didn't know why, when he walked to the classroom door, he suddenly froze.

At that time, he was a child with almost no worries. His father loved him very much and bought him whatever he wanted. He also did not have any requirements for his studies. As long as he was happy, it was fine. The nanny and driver at home were also very nice to him and spoiled him without any principles. At that time, he was a carefree young master.

However, he still remembers the moment he saw Tu Lan. He remembers that he thought for no reason at that time that it would be great if he could have such a beautiful mother.

"Auntie Lan." Chu Tiankuo called Tu Lan again and gave her the gift he made himself. He said, "I don't know how I have done this. Fu Yehan has so many classmates, but I am the only one who can get your attention. You still worry about me like this. I am very happy to be trusted and liked by you. Happy birthday. I wish you stay forever young and beautiful and live a long life."

Tu Lan took the cloth bag and slowly took out the wooden sculpture inside. She looked down at her younger self, and her eye circles were gradually dyed with the bright red in her sight.

"I don't know if I heard it wrong just now." Chu Tiankuo suppressed too many emotions in his heart today, and his voice was slow and hoarse, more depressed than ever before. "The name you called me with an erhua sound is very nice. Even my father can't call me that naturally and intimately. Just regard it as your comfort to me. Don't worry, I know that feelings can't be forced, so I can think it through."

Thirty years, in the time that has passed, seems so distant and long.

It's stored in memory in the blink of an eye.

After Chu Tiankuo left, Tu Lan sat on the sofa, staring at the wooden man in his hand for a long time.

When she left Chu Chengli, she didn't know she was pregnant.

When the diagnosis was discovered, she was abroad and had encountered a rare opportunity at work. She thought about aborting the child, but when the child was on the operating table, she suddenly couldn't bear to do it.

Later, she gave up the job opportunity and found a school for further studies, where she continued her studies while taking Chu Tiankuo with her.

It was not until Chu Tiankuo was almost three years old that she went back to work. Since she was unable to take care of both, and when Chu Tiankuo fell ill and was hospitalized again due to her poor care, she finally made up her mind to find someone to send her son back to Chu Chengli.

Because she knew that it would be much better for her son to follow Chu Chengli than to wander around with her.

Tu Lan collected her thoughts and found her cell phone and pulled out Ye Qingluo's contact information. She wanted to ask Ye Qingluo if he knew who the man Fu Jingwei liked was. If Ye Qingluo didn't know, she wanted Ye Qingluo to help ask Fu Yehan.

Only Ye Qingluo can help with this, because only she can control Fu Yehan's bad temper.

Just as Tu Lan was thinking about how to start the conversation, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Gently and slowly.

Like a cautious test.
