51 Is it not important to like someone? Is it not important to take a walk?

The woman standing at the door had no expression on her face, only frowning slightly when she saw her open the door.

The two of them were silent for two seconds, and Jiang Lai smiled awkwardly at the woman: "Hello, are you looking for Shen Hean? He is not here now..." The woman

frowned even more, and her tone was very light: "No, I'm looking for you."

It's over, it's really for her. Jiang Lai wanted to escape but couldn't. At this point, she could only ask someone to come in.

The auntie who had finished cleaning was also ready to leave. She gently closed the door. Now there were really only the two of them in the room.

Jiang Lai wanted to make tea for the woman in front of him because she was Shen Hean's mother, but then he remembered that Shen Hean didn't have such a thing at all, because she didn't drink tea, so there was only purified water and various beverages and small sweet wines at home.

During the two seconds of silence, Jiang Lai's brain was working fast at the same time. She was thinking whether she could get Shen Hean's mother drunk so that she wouldn't embarrass her.

But considering that she had already left a bad impression in front of his mother, Jiang Lai gave up and just asked awkwardly: "Would you like some warm water?"

"No thanks." The woman's tone was not as sarcastic as Jiang Lai had imagined, but it was still not very pleasant: "Do you know why I'm looking for you?"

Jiang Lai tilted her head slightly: "Well... Could it be that the ugly daughter-in-law wants to meet the parents-in-law?"

Jiang Lai wanted to slap herself as soon as she said this. When will she be able to change her habit of wanting to make jokes anytime and anywhere... Is this an occasion for abstract things?

Lin Wenyan frowned slightly, and was confused by the girl's jumping around and didn't know what to say for a while. What daughter-in-law, what parents-in-law, who are her parents-in-law?

Jiang Lai touched his nose awkwardly and explained, "I was just talking nonsense... Well, actually, it's not my parents-in-law who came. I haven't agreed to Shen He'an's pursuit yet."

Lin Wenyan looked at her in disbelief, "What do you mean? You mean Shen He'an is pursuing you, and you haven't agreed yet?"

"Yeah." Jiang Lai smiled sweetly at her and spoke his true feelings as if he was joking, "In fact, what you want to say to me should not be told to me, but to your son. I'm just a girl with no ability, and you're also a woman, why bother me?"

Lin Wenyan licked her dry lips, unable to accept that she was left powerless in front of a girl. After being stunned for a few seconds, she quickly regained her composure, "You live in Shen He'an's house now, how can you say such things?"

"He is the one who sponsored my schooling." Jiang Lai said softly, "and I am indeed in contact with him. As planned, I will be with him tonight."

"You may not believe what I said." Jiang Lai continued, "I really don't care about money. I'll tell you the truth - funding is just a pretext for me to get close to him. I've liked Shen He'an for a long time."

"I'm not short of money." A sarcastic smile appeared on Jiang Lai's face: "You should have investigated me and know that I'm the poor daughter of the Jiang family. But even if I'm poor, the money left to me by the card is enough for me to spend. I don't have any material desires."

Lin Wenyan was unconsciously led away by Jiang Lai's words: "Have you liked him for a long time? How long is a long time? Do you dare to say that you don't care about his power at all? What if he is not Shen He'an?"

Her tone was a little aggressive, and Lin Wenyan herself realized this. She pursed her lips and had already realized her own loss of composure - was she asking Jiang Lai, or was she asking herself?

Her eyes fell on the girl in front of her. Jiang Lai paused for a few seconds, and her expression looked like she was thinking seriously. Her eyes were sparkling, with light in them, and they were the eyes that would unconsciously light up when she mentioned the person she liked.

She said: "At the funeral on the day my mother died, I saw Shen Hean for the first time, and he gave me a candy. It's funny, I was moved by this candy, you know... I was very sad that day, my mother died and I had no relatives or friends around me, and he was the only one who noticed my emotions."

"In order to get his love, I made a lot of efforts, such as pretending to be poor..." Jiang Lai didn't think there was anything wrong with her "schemes" and "plans". What's so shameful about working hard for someone you like? At most, she was embarrassed to say it in front of Shen Hean.

"What I wanted from the beginning to the end was only his love, the love of the person who gave me a candy when I was in trouble and landed beside me like a god."

"Have you ever liked someone?"

If Lin Wenyan only looked at this sentence, she might think someone was being sarcastic to her, but the girl in front of her had a serious expression, as serious as if she was a friend of her age, and she was just discussing emotional issues with her friend.

"I..." Lin Wenyan subconsciously wanted to answer her question, but immediately realized that she had been led astray by Jiang Lai's words. She promptly stopped the desire to answer and tried to get the topic back on track: "Okay, even if what you said... you really like him, but you know, Shen Hean originally wanted to marry, do you know how much loss he would suffer if he didn't marry?"

After Lin Wenyan said this, she realized that she was already in the imagined result of "marriage". She closed her mouth a little embarrassedly, and was stunned by the girl's next sentence: "But life is not always calculating benefits. There are many things more important than these benefits."

She said: "Isn't it important to like someone? Isn't it important to be happy? Isn't it important to walk hand in hand with the one you love until you grow old?"

Lin Wenyan was stunned. Some pictures emerged in her mind, the picture of her first date with her husband, the picture of them walking hand in hand after dinner, the picture of them hugging each other and rubbing their ears...

Lin Wenyan felt her throat was a little dry. Her expression was a little dazed, and before she could react, the door was pushed open by a hurried force.

She looked at the door, and the person who came in from the gate was her son. He walked very fast, and the expression on his face was the most anxious she had ever seen.

After he came in, he first observed Jiang Lai's expression. Seeing that her expression was not bad, he slowed down his pace, but when he spoke, he could still hear the hurried tone: "Xiaoman, go upstairs."

Lin Wenyan couldn't help observing the girl in front of her. She reacted slowly and said "oh", looking obedient.

When she stood up and passed by Shen Hean, Shen Hean raised his hand and touched her hair naturally. The girl slapped her hand away as if she was throwing a tantrum.

Shen Hean smiled slightly, and the tense mood on her face relaxed a little.

Halfway through the walk, Jiang Lai suddenly turned back and talked to her: "Auntie, I'm going upstairs first, let's talk next time."

Lin Wenyan almost couldn't control her expression. She didn't want to answer, but she didn't know why she answered her.

The closer Jiang Lai got to her room, the faster her steps became. After the mountain door was closed, she finally threw herself on the bed and breathed a long sigh of relief.

God, she was really embarrassed to death! Her answer just now was quite brave, but she said that she had to be very brave to say that, and now she almost fainted when she realized what was happening.

Jiang Lai took a long time to relax in bed before picking up her phone and sending a message to Meng Man to tell her about her feat of "lecturing" Shen Hean's mother today.

Shen Hean, who was downstairs, "invited" his mother away with just a few words. He would not pour out his heart like Jiang Lai did, but just told Lin Wenyan again that Jiang Lai was his girlfriend and would be his wife in the future.

Lin Wenyan's expression was a little weird. She actually told him that she was his girlfriend before she even caught up with him.

Chen Hean thought she would talk about marriage and benefits again, but this was beyond his expectation. Before he could react, she had already left with her bag.

Chen Hean did not go upstairs immediately, but clicked on the surveillance to check what had just happened.

The surveillance was audible, and he heard their private conversation, and also heard Jiang Lai say that she liked him.
