Chapter 43 Jian Yunsang's Parents

"Is this... my room?"

Chao Chao opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.

The room was large, with a pale yellow hue, giving it a warm and inviting feel. Inside, there was a large princess bed, topped with stuffed animals taller than Chao Chao. Next to the bed was a desk, a small sofa, and a bookcase.

In addition to these regular arrangements, the most eye-catching thing is the swings and slides not far away.

Yes, Chaochao never thought that a swing could be installed in the sleeping room.

There was also a slide, the kind she'd seen in the hospital. No, it was even prettier, with balls tumbling down the slide. There was a small shed next to it, which Grandma said was a tent. Chao Chao didn't quite understand why there was a tent in the room. It looked strange, unlike the tents she'd seen in Shangliu Village, which were held up by a single piece of cloth.

The room was so big that she was a little hesitant to step into it. She asked again, "Is this really my room?"

"Of course, this is yours alone. See that swing? We used to have one in our yard, but you said it was too cold in the winter, so your grandfather installed one in your room that very day. You loved it so much that you wouldn't get down from it unless you sat on it for an hour or two every day."

Unfortunately, Chaochao disappeared not long after the installation.

After that, every time she and He's father saw the swing, they felt like their hearts were being cut by a knife.

"Come on, grandma will take you out to play."

Chao Chao felt a little curious and expectant. She sat carefully on the swing and swayed slightly twice.

Song Zhen took her to play on the slide again. Chao Chao was a little hesitant, but also extremely happy. After sliding twice, she looked up and saw the three adults in the room looking at her with smiles on their faces.

She immediately became nervous and felt uncomfortable playing.

Song Zhen immediately urged He Nanzhou and Jian Yunsang, "Don't just stand there and watch. Go and do your own things."

The latter glanced at each other and walked to the side. They didn't leave the house, but went to the cloakroom and spoke with their backs to Chao Chao. Chao Chao still didn't feel safe, so they didn't dare to leave his sight.

Sure enough, when Chaochao saw that they didn't leave, she stopped in her tracks and breathed a sigh of relief.

Song Zhen saw it and couldn't help but touch her head with heartache.

Chao Chao raised his head along her hand, and suddenly thought of something, and asked in a low voice, "Grandma, can I ask you a question?"

"Ask, of course you can ask, what do you want to know?"

"That's right, that's right..." Chao Chao hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Why did that person just now say that my mother...my father doesn't love her and my mother doesn't care about her? Doesn't my mother have a father or a mother?"

But, my mother clearly said that she has grandparents.

Wang Pingqiu said too much and too quickly before, and Chaochao didn’t digest it at the time. It was only now that she realized that the Yunsang she was talking about was her mother’s name.

She has a father and a mother now, but what if her mother doesn't? Life without parents is something Chao Chao has experienced, and it would be very hard. She doesn't want her mother to be sad, as it would be very distressing.

Song Zhen was stunned. She didn't expect Chao Chao to have listened to Wang Pingqiu's words.

She suddenly felt a little annoyed. She shouldn't have let Wang Pingqiu in before. It was all those nonsense she said, and it made Chao Chao worry. She sighed slightly and smiled, "Of course your mother has a father and a mother too."

"Then why did that person say his father didn't love him and his mother didn't care for him?"

"Because your grandparents divorced when your mother was young." A voice came from behind. Chao Chao turned around suddenly and found that Jian Yunsang had been standing behind her at some point and had obviously heard their conversation.

Chaochao felt a little uneasy. She didn't mean to inquire about these things.

"Mom, let me do it." Jian Yunsang took Chaochao over, and the mother and daughter sat on the sofa and talked.

Song Zhen walked to He Nanzhou's side, sighed softly, and then seemed to think of something and asked him, "Have you told your father about Chao Chao's return?"

"I called him, but Dad was in a meeting and didn't answer. I told Secretary Chen to come back after Dad finished his meeting if he didn't have anything important to do that afternoon."

Song Zhen said, "Even if you have something important to do, you must hurry back. Nothing is more important than Chao Chao."

He Nanzhou smiled and said nothing more.

The two looked at the mother and daughter in the room. Jian Yunsang was quietly explaining his parents' relationship to Chao Chao. "Divorce means that both parties dissolve their marriage and are no longer husband and wife. However, even though they are divorced, it's not like Mom doesn't love her anymore. They just don't live together anymore. Nothing else has changed. They still love Mom very much. They paid for half of the house we lived in a few days ago."

Of course there are changes, but for Jian Yunsang, it is not a very painful thing.

Unlike the harmonious family atmosphere of the He family, Jian Yunsang's parents divorced when she was in elementary school because of personality incompatibility. Although they often quarreled during their marriage, they divorced peacefully.

Jian Yunsang followed her father. Two years later, her mother got married and then moved to another place because of her husband's job transfer.

A year later, her father also got married, and they soon had another daughter.

Jian Yunsang was in fifth grade at the time, so she understood everything she needed to know. Her father was actually quite good to her, providing her with everything she needed, ensuring she had enough to eat and drink, and always caring about her studies and making friends.

Her aunt treated her well, and even after she had a daughter, she never treated her badly. Her room was still the one with the large south-facing balcony. Her favorite dishes were always on the table, and her school supplies were always prepared without her having to worry about them. She would give her extra clothes when it was cold, and she would always give her the full amount of pocket money she deserved. She would even remind her father that girls have privacy when they grow up, and ask him to knock before entering.

Her mother saved the child support she received every month and never asked about it.

But it is still different from a biological mother and daughter. Jian Yunsang and her have always maintained a polite and cordial relationship, and there is a line between them that they will not cross.

But she was still young, and she always felt bad when she saw the warm scene of the three of them together.

So when she was in junior high school, she chose boarding school.

It was the same in high school. She would only go back home during the holidays. She became independent very early.

When she was in college, she was admitted to Jiangcheng and rarely went back even during holidays.

Every time her father called her during the holidays, she would refuse to go home by making the excuse that she had to work.

It was also at that time that she discovered that she had a talent for making money.
