After being rejected by the school beauty, he picked up a treasure girl

She was filled with mixed emotions and almost wanted to stop.

Turning to face him, I opened my arms and gave him a warm hug.

At the same time, she whispered to him that she had never really blamed him.

However, at this critical moment, reason came flooding back like a tide.
It holds the emotional reins firmly and calms the impulse.

In the end, Chen Fang did not stop herself, but instead became more determined and quickened her pace.

At this time, the cousin beside him sighed softly: "Since you still have him in your heart, why not give each other a chance to start over?"

Chen Fang stopped but did not turn around. She just said calmly:

"Cousin, some mistakes are worth making once. If you repeat the same mistake again, it would be the greatest cruelty to yourself."

Chen Ying heard this, and a subtle fluctuation flashed in her eyes, and then she responded in a gentle tone:
"Just don't regret it. Don't be like me..."

Her words stopped abruptly, her eyelids drooped slightly, as if she was recalling some fragments of the past.

Chen Fang looked at her and knew that her cousin was thinking of Xue Yang.

No matter who you are, you will regret missing a man like Xue Yang.

But is regret useful?

In order to break the somewhat heavy atmosphere, Chen Fang cleverly changed the subject:

"Oh, by the way, cousin, why did you finish work so early today? Do you have any special plans?"

Chen Ying raised her head, a faint smile appeared on her lips, and she explained:
"Look at what you're asking. Today is New Year's Eve. I'm not a robot. I have to give myself a break. Don't we need to go to the supermarket to buy groceries? Let's go."

As she spoke, Chen Ying took Chen Fang's arm and led her towards the supermarket.

Since joining the self-media,

The pace of life of the two sisters is like pressing the fast-forward button.
It's been a long time since I could go shopping so easily.

So I decided to make a good meal and reward myself.

From the moment they stepped into the supermarket, they seemed to have entered a world full of freshness and vitality.

Without hesitation or wandering, the two sisters headed straight to the fresh food section.

There, a wide variety of ingredients are available, waiting for them to choose, combine, and create their own delicious dishes.

While the two sisters were enjoying the fun of selecting ingredients,

A sudden voice of surprise broke the silence around them:

"Chen Ying!"

This voice was like thunder from a clear sky, freezing Chen Ying's movements instantly. She turned around slowly, her eyes full of disbelief.

"Mom...why are you here?"

Mother Chen pushed the shopping cart, approaching them step by step with a bit of haste and anger in her steps.

Her face was full of blame and confusion, and her voice was trembling and harsh:
"If we hadn't met here by chance today, would you have planned not to go home for the New Year? Do you still have this family in your heart? Have you ever thought about how your father and I feel?"

His words revealed his deep disappointment in his daughter.

Chen Ying's face turned pale instantly. She quickly put down the food in her hand and walked quickly towards her mother, with guilt and anxiety flashing in her eyes.

"Mom, it's not like that. Please listen to my explanation..." She tried to grab her mother's hand, but was pushed away by an invisible force.

Seeing this, Chen Fang also hurried over. She patted Chen Ying's back gently to comfort her, then turned to Chen's mother and said sincerely:

"Aunt, don't be angry. We were negligent. We have been busy with work recently and really neglected to go home to see you and uncle."

When Mother Chen heard the word "work", her brows furrowed, and her tone was full of confusion and questioning: "Work? What kind of work do you mean? I remember that you were working in Yancheng, how come you have a new job now?"

A series of questions were thrown out like a string of cannonballs, making Chen Ying's heart sink suddenly.

It's not good to scream secretly.

She did not tell her family that she resigned and returned to Huicheng.

Unexpectedly, I was caught by my mother at this critical moment.

She tried to remain calm, but she could hardly hide her inner panic.

Chen Fang realized that she had said something wrong and felt a little embarrassed.
She looked at Chen Ying stiffly, her eyes full of apology and worry.

She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something to make amends, but when she saw Chen Ying gently shaking her head,

She swallowed back the words that had not yet come out.

In Chen Fang's heart, she actually didn't fully understand her cousin's concerns.

She knew that Chen Ying's current achievements in the field of self-media had already far surpassed her stable job in Yancheng.

Even if I tell my aunt all this, what will happen?
Perhaps, my aunt would feel extremely proud and gratified that her daughter can achieve such outstanding results.

But Chen Fang also understood that everyone has their own considerations and difficulties, so she chose to silently support her cousin's decision.

Chen Ying quickly explained:
"Mom, you misunderstood. I didn't quit my job in Yancheng. I just happened to come back today and stayed at Afang's place first. I plan to go home to see you and dad tomorrow."

There was a hint of urgency and sincerity in her tone as she tried to dispel her mother's misunderstanding.

After hearing this, Mother Chen's frown gradually relaxed and her anger obviously eased a lot.

"Oh, so that's how it is... I thought you gave up your stable job there and came back to work in Huicheng. If that's the case..."

Mother Chen didn’t say anything else, but her meaning was very clear.

If Chen Ying really did this, she would definitely be angry.

Chen Ying breathed a sigh of relief, "Mom, are you here at Yongsheng Supermarket to buy New Year's goods?"

Sensing her mother's change of mood, Chen Ying felt relieved and quickly changed the subject:

"Mom, are you here to buy New Year's goods at Yongsheng Supermarket? I heard that this supermarket is an offline branch of Yonghui Supermarket. The products are affordable and complete, and you can also enjoy the convenient service of door-to-door delivery."

"Yes, that's what I noticed."

Mother Chen answered with a smile, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction.
"And your dad thought this place was nice, so he drove me here specially."

"Dad is here too?" Chen Ying's eyes flashed with surprise. "Where is he now?"

Mother Chen said: "He went to the parking lot to park his car. He should be here soon."

At this moment, a familiar and warm call came from the crowd:

"Yingying!"

It was Father Chen's unique voice, full of love and care. It instantly penetrated the surrounding noise and brought a warm feeling to Chen Ying's heart.

Chen Ying looked in the direction of the voice and saw Father Chen walking through the bustling crowd.
There was a warm smile on her face, as if it could dispel all the noise and chaos around her.

He walked steadily, and every step seemed so steady and powerful.

And beside him, an unexpected figure came into view—Yang Xiaozhi.

"Dad!" She walked quickly forward and naturally took her father's arm, her intimacy and dependence evident in her words.

However, when her eyes swept over Yang Xiaozhi again,
Chen Fang, who was standing by, seemed a little uneasy, muttering to herself,
I just want to find a suitable opportunity to quietly avoid this slightly embarrassing scene. (End of this chapter)
