In the private room, Jin Nian was obviously in a bad mood. She had planned to give Lu An a surprise tonight. She had been looking forward to the moment she saw Lu An when she got home from work. However, her plan was ruined by Xie He’s phone call. She could not even squeeze out a smile now.

Jin Nian was not a child. She knew that Xie He had spent so much effort to arrange for her and Lu An to have dinner together. It was most likely to let the two of them ‘reunite.’ After the college entrance examination, Lu An found out that Jin Nian had changed her choice behind his back. For the first time ever, he lost his temper at Jin Nian. For a long time after that, Lu An did not take the initiative to contact Jin Nian.

No matter how angry Lu An was with her, the worst thing he could do to her was to not contact her and ignore her. However, once he returned to his own home, Young Master Lu could not hide his bad mood. Even the dogs that passed by had to be kicked by him. Only then did Xie He realize how wrong she was. During that period of time, no one in the family could mention Jin Nian, which made everyone nervous. They were afraid that they would say something wrong and make him unhappy again.

Seeing that the situation was serious, Xie He had also thought of ways to repair the relationship between Lu An and Jin Nian. However, Lu An’s temper at that time was like a stone in a latrine pit, smelly and hard. He would not listen to anything she said. Xie He had no choice but to place her hopes on time. She thought about how the two children had played together since they were young. No matter how unhappy Lu An was, it was probably only temporary. As time passed, he would naturally calm down and his relationship with Jin Nian would improve.

The result was far beyond her expectations. Why did he have to go abroad?

Although Xie He had many businesses overseas, her roots were still in the country. On the other hand, Lu An’s father’s immediate family members all lived abroad, and there were many relatives there. Lu An had a cousin named Lu Ping who lived in Toronto. He was three years older than Lu An, and the two of them had a good relationship since they were young.

Xie He originally thought that Lu An’s determination to go abroad had something to do with this cousin of his. However, she later found out that Lu Ping had long moved back to China.

When Lu An was about to leave, Xie He had specially gone to see him. The empty living room was filled with smoke and wine bottles. Lu An was curled up on the cold floor of the living room. It was not time for heating in the north yet, and the temperature at night was less than 10 degrees. He did not even wear a coat, and he had a tattoo on his arm that had yet to fully recover.

This was the first time Xie He was frightened by him. She quickly walked over and touched his chest to make sure that he was still alive. She scooped him up and slapped him to wake him up.

This was the first time Lu An, who was drunk, showed his weakness in front of Xie He. He held his phone, and his eyes were red. The wallpaper on his phone was a photo of him and Jin Nian. He mumbled, “You don’t want me, and she doesn’t want me either. Am 1 that bad?”

Xie He had heard that Jin Nian seemed to have made a new friend in university and was very close to a boy. They seemed to have developed feelings for each other. It was not until she saw her son like this that Xie He realized that she had underestimated his feelings for Jin Nian.

There were too many things that Jin Nian did not know about, but Xie He, an outsider, had seen it all. The wall was filled with sketches of a girl’s back. One after another, the letters that had never been sent out… They were all evidence that Lu An had missed Jin Nian all these years.

Xie He admitted that she was just an ordinary person. When facing her own child, she could not be as calm and rational as when dealing with official business. So she did something wrong and regretted it, but she could not turn back time.

In the private room, Xie He did not return after going out the door.

Jin Nian was indeed a little careless when it came to interpersonal relationships, but no matter how many times she was manipulated by an elder, even though Xie He had lowered her attitude, she still felt like she was being controlled by someone. Jin Nian did not like this feeling.

If Xie He found out that the two of them were married, would she congratulate her or talk to her alone again?

Jin Nian found it ironic.

Lu An sensed the unhappiness in Jin Nian and his expression darkened: “Did Xie He say something to you?”

Jin Nian smiled and shook her head, pretending that nothing had happened, “No, she just said that she had something to tell me, so she brought me here.” Lu An frowned. They had known each other for many years. He could tell at a glance that Jin Nian was putting on an act in front of him. She was forcing a smile. However, he also understood that forcing Jin Nian would not get him the answer he wanted..
