Chapter 1864: Chapter 1862: Words That Pierce the Heart

Chang Yalan stood dumbfounded in the room, her heart full of resentment and jealousy.

She hadn’t begged them to take care of him. If she had known she’d wake up to this, she might as well have died.

She looked out the window. What Li Fen said just now reminded her that she really should go back to school. Whether it’s now or five years later, a college diploma is very important.

At this moment, there was a bit of regret in her heart.

She also hated those two cheap women, Ah Lian and Ailianna. In this world, the two of them finally didn’t appear in their lives, which actually made her very happy. She shouldn’t have used those hurtful words to provoke her mom.

Clenching her teeth, Chang Yalan finally pushed open the door and saw Li Fen sitting in the corner of the yard, wiping her tears. Her heart ached.

She quickly walked over, squatted beside her, and grabbed Li Fen’s hand, saying with regret, "Mom, I spoke without thinking just now. Please don’t be mad at me. I won’t say such things again. I’ve maintained my health so well over these years, thanks to you and my brother. Tomorrow, I’ll go to school to see how I can get my diploma back and then find a job to lessen the family’s burden."

Hearing her daughter say such things, the coldness in Li Fen’s eyes gradually faded, and she felt a little better inside.

However, she looked at her daughter with a suspicious gaze, seemingly not believing that she could figure everything out in the blink of an eye.

But after all, this was her own flesh and blood. What could she do?

She could only sigh deeply and say in a low voice, "It’s good that you understand these things, otherwise you’d regret it too late."

Chang Yalan felt somewhat dismissive, but just then Chang Jiansheng walked in, frowning, but then eased up.

Li Fen quickly recounted what Yalan just said to her son. After all, if the daughter no longer idled around and thought about reducing the burden, perhaps her son would feel better.

No kinship, no matter how good, can withstand such exhaustion in this world.

Li Fen deeply understood this truth now.

Unexpectedly, Chang Jiansheng frowned again and said in a low voice, "Third sister, stay at home for a few days for now."

"Why?" Chang Yalan asked in confusion.

Chang Jiansheng glanced at his sister, "Haven’t you forgotten about that matter? You were in a coma, so you escaped punishment. Now that you’ve woken up and are in good health, even if the Gu Family lets you go, your case hasn’t been closed and the police station will still come looking for you for investigation."

Chang Yalan’s face finally turned pale, and she tightly clenched her hands. She had really forgotten about this matter.

She wanted to say that Gu Qianqian, that bitch, was fine, wasn’t she?

But she swallowed the words back.

She was a university student, so she naturally understood these principles.

She could argue irrationally with her mother, but she really didn’t dare with her brother, especially now that her brother was supporting the family.

Chang Yalan lowered her head and sighed, "Jiansheng, I’ll listen to you now. Whatever you say goes."

She still wanted to find Gu Qiaoqiao or Gu Qianqian, but it seemed like a pipe dream now. It was good enough that they weren’t coming to trouble her, given her criminal record.

Thinking of past events, Li Fen’s eyes were filled with hatred. She stood up, looking at her son and daughter. Fortunately, Jiansheng wasn’t led astray by that damn old woman.

She looked at Yalan, "Yalan, by now you should have realized many things. Even in a wealthy family, you should know what should and should not be done. But under your grandmother’s indulgence, you did one foolish thing after another, including with your eldest sister. You thought the world was yours, that the Imperial Capital belonged to your family, but in the end, you only harmed others and yourself. I just hope from now on you recognize all this and stop doing stupid things."

After saying that, she told Chang Jiansheng, "You take a rest, I’ll go make dinner for you all."

Then she went to the kitchen.

Chang Jiansheng sighed, "Third sister, stay at home for the time being, help mom with the housework. Don’t worry, I can still support you all. I want to find an opportunity to meet Gu Qiaoqiao; you can’t hide like this forever."

He also felt uncertain in his heart now.

And he thought his request might be too unreasonable, but after all, the person in front of him was his sister, who had been in a coma for years. The law was one thing, but the Gu Family’s attitude was also very important.

Chang Jiansheng knew where Gu Qiaoqiao was working now; ever since so many things happened, he hadn’t seen her again.

As for Yubao Square, he had always avoided it, but today he had to come.

Gu Qiaoqiao was reading documents when her assistant told her a man named Chang Jiansheng wanted to see her.

Chang Jiansheng?

It had been a long time since she’d heard that name. Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t know what he wanted with her, but that person had a sense of dignity and probably wasn’t here to ask her for anything.

She nodded and told the assistant, "Let him in."

Over the years, Chang Jiansheng had matured a lot, but when facing Gu Qiaoqiao, he still felt a mix of nervousness and an inexplicable feeling.

His business now, though described as small, was actually gradually getting on track. He planned to establish a company soon.

Specializing in wholesale, targeting surrounding towns and villages.

Many people were flocking to the cities now, but he thought in reverse because towns and villages were also becoming wealthier, and there was more space there. As long as his products were good and affordable, he could secure a place in this large market.

So, at this moment, there was a trace of steadiness in Chang Jiansheng’s demeanor.

Though not really old friends, Gu Qiaoqiao still politely said, "Long time no see, what have you been busy with lately?"

Chang Jiansheng didn’t expect Gu Qiaoqiao to ask him that.

For a moment, his heart felt a bittersweet emotion.

He couldn’t help but recall the excitement he felt when they first met. His slightly trembling hand clenched as he tried to calm his emotions; he took a deep breath before saying, "I’ve been doing some small business, it’s going okay."

Then he looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, "I didn’t expect that your business is doing so well now."

Gu Qiaoqiao nonchalantly said, "I’m just average at business; it’s all thanks to everyone’s efforts."

She looked at the somewhat uneasy Chang Jiansheng.

He was completely different from the Chang Jiansheng she had first met.

His features were still refined, but there was now an underlying sense of steadiness and composure.

Perhaps it was because of his good family background; even in a simple white shirt, he still had the aura of a noble young man.

Unexpectedly, such a person turned out to have the rarest character.

In such a mire, he struggled to forge his own path.

He surely had a reason for seeking her out today, but since he didn’t bring it up, Gu Qiaoqiao naturally wouldn’t ask.
