Ever since Jiang Lai's mother came to City A, Cen Miao took his mother-in-law for a walk when he had time, and even the time spent with Jiang Lai was reduced a lot.

Jiang Lai was still not used to it, originally Cen Miao would come to the hospital to look for her when he had an hour to spare, even if he didn't speak, he would hang around in front of her, but now he was nowhere to be seen.

After finishing the work in hand, Jiang Lai took out his mobile phone and looked at it. There was no new news, and an inexplicable sense of loss came to his heart.

Jiang Lai clicked on Cen Miao's circle of friends, and there was very little content in it. The latest one was an article "Exploring Journey of Entrepreneurs on China's New Third Board" reposted last month, with a formulaic string of words: no fear Difficulties, forging ahead, are admirable and admirable.

Jiang Lai remembered what Cen Miao told her, that when dating, one should always think about his girlfriend.At this time, she really missed Cen Miu, wanted to know what Cen Miu was doing, so she stopped sending messages to herself.Jiang Lai sadly found out that before he didn't think about Cen Miu all the time, it was because Cen Miu would always appear before he had time to think about her.

It has been Cen Miu who has been actively contacting her.

The habit is terrible, Jiang Lai just feels uncomfortable if he hasn't heard from this person for two or three days.Looking back at herself, she was always waiting for the other party to send a message, and sometimes she didn't even reply when she was busy, as if it was really unfair to Cen Miao.

She opened the WeChat dialog box, and before she could send the words "what are you doing", Cen Miao first sent her a photo with Cheng Qinghong, and then sent her a text message: "Hee hee, bring me Our mother went shopping for clothes."

Jiang Lai smiled, deleted the "what are you doing" in the dialog box, and replied to her: "When will you finish shopping?"

"It should be soon, what's the matter with you?"

Jiang Lai thought for a moment, and then quickly sent a message: "It's nothing, I missed you."

The nurse came over and called her, "Doctor Jiang, the patient in Ward 330 said he has been having headaches, and he doesn't know what's going on."

Jiang Lai put away his mobile phone and said, "I'll go and have a look."

Cen Miao was still trying on clothes with Cheng Qinghong. Cheng Qinghong had lived frugally all these years and hadn't bought any new clothes for a long time. Cen Miao took his mother-in-law out shopping on the pretext that the weather changes quickly in changing seasons.

When receiving Jiang Lai's message, Cen Miao smiled knowingly.Falling in love with an introverted person like Jiang Lai is like squeezing toothpaste, sweet words always have to be squeezed slowly, but Cen Miao enjoys it.She is willing to wait patiently for Jiang Lai to open her heart, and Jiang Lai is also willing to change a little bit for her. Both of them are learning to move forward to a better state.

Cheng Qinghong changed into a dark red dress in the fitting room, her long hair stood up. Although she was over half a century old, her appearance was still elegant and intellectual, which was the luxury only for the older generation of intellectuals.Her brows and eyes were stained with the traces of the years, and her gentle demeanor did not diminish because of this, Cen Miu thought, maybe Jiang Lai will be like this when he gets old.

Cen Mi walked around Cheng Qinghong and praised sincerely: "Aunt Cheng, you are so beautiful."

Cheng Qinghong checked the price tags of the clothes, and was not close to the people, so she said, "Xiao Cen, let's go to a cheap store, the price is too expensive."

Cen Miao had already taken out his card and swiped the money without blinking.

As a people's teacher, Cheng Qinghong couldn't get rid of the habit of preaching: "You young people, it's better to save some money. I know that you have made a lot of money, Xiao Cen, but you still have to know how to save more money for your retirement, in case you are in the future. To raise a child..."

Cen Mi laughed and said, "Aunt Cheng, I understand, but it's too early to raise a child."

Cen Miao knew that Jiang Lai was DINKism, and she didn't plan to have children. She herself didn't care about it, and even thought that it would be better if the bad genes of the Cen family were cut off.Aunt Cheng's idea of ​​holding her grandson may not come true.

Cheng Qinghong said: "You two are two girls, and the future will be very difficult. You should save more money for yourself. I will return the clothes."

After speaking, Cheng Qinghong went to return the clothes to the waiter at the counter.She has a stubborn temper, otherwise she wouldn't have broken up with Jiang Qu. Half of Jiang Lai's temper was learned from her. Cen Miao knew that he couldn't be persuaded, so he had to let her refund the money and take Cheng Qinghong to an ordinary chain store. buying clothes.

The two bought several bags of clothes, many of which were picked out by Cheng Qinghong for Cen Mi and Jiang Lai, and Cen Mi thought it was Cheng Qinghong's wish, so he took all of them.

After shopping for clothes, Cen Miao chose a Chinese restaurant for dinner. He originally wanted to order more dishes, but worried that Cheng Qinghong would blame her for wasting money, so he simply handed over the menu to his mother-in-law, and took out his mobile phone to send Jiang Lai a text message: "We order at XX restaurant. The food is ready, we are waiting for you to eat together."

After a while, Jiang Lai replied: "You guys eat first, I don't get off work until seven o'clock."

"Okay, then I'll pack another for you after I finish eating."

In the end, only three dishes were ordered, enough for them to eat.

As soon as the dishes were served, Cen Miao habitually began to gorge. She was always in a hurry to eat, and she ate fast, which is why she got old stomach problems.

Cheng Qinghong frowned and said, "Eat slowly, eat slowly, your child is not afraid of choking."

Listening to Cheng Qinghong's words, Cen Mi chewed slowly, and as he chewed, a touch of emotion rose in his heart.Since she was very young, Cen Miao hoped that someone would take care of her like her mother. She was indifferent to Cen's family, but she never expected family affection.She used to love to run to Jiang Lai's house, not only because of her good relationship with Jiang Zhen, but also because their family loves each other and has an enviable warmth.

Because he was thinking about other things, Cen Miao forgot to eat, and the chopsticks scattered all the rice in the bowl.Cheng Qinghong picked a piece of meat for her: "Eat more food, you work hard, and you are so thin. Let Jiang Lai buy you some pig's trotters some other day..."

"..."

Cen Miao is worried about his future weight.

After eating this meal, Cen Miao, who was even eloquent, was also defeated. The most he said during the whole process was "hmmm" and "okay", as well-behaved as a primary school student.I have to say that Mr. Cheng is worthy of being an excellent teacher of the people. Cen Miao's perverse and unruly personality has been restrained by Mr. Cheng.

Cheng Qinghong looked at Cen Mi, who was eating obediently for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "To be honest, I didn't approve of you being with Jiang Lai at first... It's not because of my traditional thinking, but because of other reasons."

Cen Miao asked curiously, "Because of what?"

Cheng Qinghong shook his head and did not answer Cen Miu's question, but continued: "These days you always accompany me to go shopping and eat, which makes me feel like I have an extra daughter. You know, Jiang Lai has a good temper, so be good. But it's also cold and cheerless, and doesn't kiss anyone. Ah Zhen is different, although she is a bit mischievous, she is lively...you and Jiang Lai are together, sometimes I feel like I have returned to the time when Ah Zhen was still there."

Cen Mi rolled his eyeballs, and smiled sweetly, revealing two dimples: "Aunt Cheng, I will be your daughter in the future, and you will have two caring padded jackets."

Cheng Qinghong said: "You are caring, just forget about Jiang Lai's lump." Unknowingly, Cheng Qinghong began to complain about Jiang Lai in front of Cen Miu, saying that the more the mother-in-law looks at the son-in-law, the more pleasing she is to her eyes, which is true.

When Jiang Lai arrived at the restaurant, he happened to see Cheng Qinghong and Cen Miu smiling happily.She was stunned for a moment, and a few days ago she was thinking about how to get her mother to accept Cen Miu. It seemed that she was overthinking. At Cheng Qinghong's age, no one would dislike Cen Miu.

Jiang Lai sat next to Cen Miao and asked, "What are you talking about?"

As soon as Jiang Lai came, Cen Mi and Cheng Qinghong shut up and didn't speak. They were embarrassed to tell Jiang Lai that they were complaining that she was a piece of wood.Jiang Lai was a little frustrated, and suspected that he was not his own, but Cen Miu was Cheng Qinghong's child.

Cen Miao took Jiang Lai's arm and wrapped a small steamed bun for her: "Your favorite steamed bun, don't be angry, we praise Miss Jiang Lai for being cute."

Jiang Lai raised her eyebrows, with no other expression on her face, she took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun, and the aroma immediately filled her mouth.

Jiang Lai bent his mouth and said, "It's delicious."

With their backs facing the TV in the dining room, Jiang Lai and Cen Miu were still talking and laughing, but they didn't notice that Cheng Qinghong was looking straight behind them, with a somewhat ugly look on his face.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Lai was the first to notice that something was wrong with Cheng Qinghong.

Cheng Qinghong came back to her senses, looked at Jiang Lai, seemed unable to speak, and finally she pointed to the TV screen behind the two of them: "You guys watch the news..."

Jiang Lai and Cen Miu turned around together, and today's news was playing on the TV behind them: "Chairman of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, Changjiang Qu, is seriously ill."

According to reports, Jiang Qu suddenly fainted while hosting a speech at the Asian Business Forum, and then never showed up again.Although Secretary Liu, who has followed Jiang Qu for decades, did not disclose any news, some people in the know said that Jiang Qu may have less than half a year to live.Once Jiang Qu fell, the impact on the entire Jiang family can be imagined. He has no descendants, and the whereabouts of his property and company shares after his death has become a mystery.After the news of Jiang Qu's serious illness came out, Jiang's stock plummeted, which also affected many other related companies.

Jiang Lai turned around and said to Cheng Qinghong, "Mom..."

Cheng Qinghong was restless, and she didn't seem to hear Jiang Lai calling her.

Cen Mi saw that both mother and daughter were silent and didn't like talking too much, so he took a few sips of water from the water glass.She didn't know at this time that she had become a key step in the layout of Jiangqu.

Seeing that none of them moved their chopsticks, the waiter in the restaurant stepped forward and asked, "These dishes are cold, do you want me to warm up the dishes?"

Cheng Qinghong hummed and said to the waiter, "Please warm up these two dishes, my daughter hasn't eaten much yet."

"OK, wait."

After the waiter left, Cheng Qinghong said, "Jiang Lai, if you want to go see him, go, I won't see him."

Hearing what Cheng Qinghong said, Jiang Lai nodded and said nothing.She said she had deep feelings for Jiang Qu, but she didn't seem to be. Her father's role in her past life was so small that it was almost negligible.But when she heard the news that this blood related person might not live long, she still couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

In the evening, after Cen Miu and Jiang Lai sent Cheng Qinghong to his residence, they drove back to Jiang's villa.Today seems to be different from the past, there are more people standing at the entrance of the villa, when Jiang Lai and two got out of the car, the servant at the door bowed to them: "Hi, Miss Cen."

Fourth Uncle Jiang came out and said to them, "The president is waiting for you inside."

Jiang Lai's expression didn't change, he just nodded slightly to show he knew.But Cen Miao became nervous for no reason. When she was drunk, she brazenly had a relationship with Jiang Qu, but now when she really wanted to see Jiang Qu, she started to cowardice again. The idol of many young people in the financial world.

When the two entered the door, Jiang Qu was sitting on the sofa, calm and composed, not as terminally ill as he had seen on the news.Today, he specially dressed up to meet the two juniors to make himself look more energetic.

Jiang Qu said with a smile: "Alai, why are you standing there? And Xiao Cen, please sit down. Leave me alone, I will come back to rest for a few days, and leave in two days."

Jiang Lai glanced at him lightly, and then said: "If you are really uncomfortable, go back to bed and lie down, don't hold on."

Jiang Qu waved his hands and said nonchalantly, "I have nothing wrong with my body, don't believe the news, I'm just acting on purpose."

Hearing what Jiang Qu said, Cen Miao thought for a while, then blinked imperceptibly, as if he understood something.
