After saying that, he looked up and down at his clothes, then urged Han Tao to get up while tidying up the sheets and the battlefield.
It must be said that he was very skillful and he quickly changed the bed sheet. Then he carried the old sheet to the washing machine in the bathroom.
………………
At the same time, Jiang Nansun, who had just sent her mother to the place where she was dancing and then took a bus back, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes as she walked into the community.
After entering the entrance hall, a smile appeared on her face again, as if nothing had happened.
After getting off the elevator, she happened to see Zhu Suosuo, who was standing in front of the trash can in the elevator area. She walked over and asked with a smile:
"Suosuo, why are you the one throwing away the garbage? Where is Han Tao?"
"You're back, Nansun. Brother Han was on the phone in the living room, so I didn't let him come out to throw it away."
As she spoke, Zhu Suosuo threw the garbage bag in her hand in and asked, "How is it going? Did you send Auntie there?"
"Yeah!" Jiang Nansun nodded, looking at the rosy-faced Zhu Suosuo, and laughed and joked:
"Suosuo, we've only been apart for a while, how come you look so good? Tell me, did you do anything bad while I was away?"
"Bah~~" Zhu Suosuo blushed after being exposed, and spat, "You dare to say anything, Nansun, you've learned bad habits, it's my fault that I have to cook and clean up!"
After saying that, Zhu Suosuo pretended to be angry and turned around to walk back. Nansun chased after her while begging for mercy:
"Suosuo, I was just kidding. Don't be angry. Can't I help you with the housework next time?"
Seeing her bestie pulling her arm and acting coquettishly, Zhu Suosuo couldn't help but laugh and said:
"Okay, I'm just kidding. How could I be mad at you? You're the Princess Jiang I'm going to protect for the rest of my life!"
"Suosuo, you're the best!" Jiang Nansun happily blew a kiss to Zhu Suosuo, then sighed:
"Suosuo, why are you so good to me and so outstanding? Compared to you, I feel so useless and can't do anything. It's been you who has taken care of me for so many years!
Besides, in my family, you are more popular than me. My grandma smiles whenever she sees you. This is something my mother has been cautious and treading on thin ice for nearly thirty years, but she still can’t change it! "
"Tell me, who said you're useless? I'll tear his mouth apart for gossiping. People have different experiences and living environments, so of course they know different things. There's no comparison at all.
Just like the housework I know how to do, I had to learn them because I had no choice. Everyone wants to be a princess, but I have been living with my uncle since I was a child. In order to please my aunt, I had to rush to do all the housework.
I also want to be like Jiaming, who doesn’t have to do anything and doesn’t have to be looked down upon by my aunt, and all the delicious and fun things have to be given to him.
Although I haven't been treated harshly, I haven't received much love either. So, if I want to live a stable life, I have to be diligent and capable, and I also have to learn to please and flatter without showing it!"
After saying that, Zhu Suosuo looked through the doorway at the lights outside the living room, then looked at Han Tao on the sofa, and said happily: "Actually, I understand all this. After all, they are not my biological parents, and they are already very good.
Of course, the best thing is now. I have Brother Han pampering me and loving me, and I have finally said goodbye to the past. I am now looking forward to giving birth to a baby for him soon, which would be perfect!"
Seeing the way Zhu Suosuo looked at Han Tao and her remarks about having a baby, Jiang Nansun couldn't help but roll her eyes at her and said coquettishly:
"You can't save Suosuo. You're thinking about giving birth to a child for her before anything happens!"
"Brother Han loves me, and I love him too, so it's normal for me to want to give birth to a baby for him. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Zhu Suosuo looked at her best friend in confusion and asked with a smile.
Jiang Nansun knew that her best friend had completely fallen for her, so she didn't say anything else, but said in a funny tone:
"Then I wish you a son soon, so you can get married with a child and marry into a wealthy family, and finally realize your dream of becoming rich."
"Nansun, I will definitely succeed. When the time comes, I will be the mistress of the Han family. I won't have parents-in-law to control me, and I won't have brothers fighting for my property. No one will control how I spend my money, so don't worry, I will help you to support the Jiang family!"
After saying that, Zhu Suosuo touched her belly longingly, her heart full of fighting spirit.
Jiang Nansun looked at her and couldn't help but sigh: "Actually, I don't know why, but seeing you like this, I also thought about marrying Zhang Anren in the future.
But what’s particularly incredible is that whenever I think about the fact that we will have our own children, I hope it will be a boy!
Don’t you think it’s scary? How could I have such an idea? Was it influenced by me? But I’m so annoyed by this idea, I…”
"No, Nansun, you're just afraid that the girl will be as unwelcome as you are, and that she will suffer."
Before Jiang Nansun finished speaking, Zhu Suosuo interrupted her and pulled her to continue, "Don't worry, you are different from your aunt. Your situation is completely different."
"Suosuo, I talked a lot with my mother today. In fact, she understands everything in her heart, but she has been fighting one against two in the Jiang family for so many years. When she knows she can't win, she can only choose to protect herself.
However, although she suffered herself, she thought a lot about me. I only found out today that he bought a lot of insurance for me because he was afraid that the Jiang family would go bankrupt and I would suffer in my husband's family. "After saying this, Jiang Nansun's eyes reddened again.
Zhu Suosuo patted her hand distressedly and comforted her: "Auntie is still thinking about you even in such a difficult situation. You should be happy and not let him worry!"
"Well, I know. I will definitely live a good life. When the time comes, I will take her over and we will enjoy happiness together!"
"Yes, we will be happy. We will still live together, and we will continue to watch TV shows together, drink tea and chat together, and watch our loved ones grow old together. When they are so old that they don't have the energy to go out and have fun, and they will just follow us around every day, buy groceries, and read the newspaper!
This way, you and I will never be separated, and we can watch the children grow up day by day, watch them grow taller day by day, watch them call us mom, watch them go from elementary school to junior high school, high school, and all the way to college, and watch them get married and have children... "
"We will never be apart. I will help them with their homework. We will travel together every year. We will spend the rest of our lives explaining what friendship is!"
Chapter 249 Comforting Andy
Two flowers are in bloom. After seeing off his good friend Lao Yan in the office, Tan Zongming, president of Shengxuan Group, hurried back to comfort Andy.
Andy in the office felt much better after crying for more than half an hour. At least he didn't feel as breathless as when he first got the news.
Although she stopped crying, she couldn't help but start to worry and be afraid.
Just then, Lao Tan walked in. Andy looked at his only good friend in all these years and told Lao Tan about his worries.
She said frankly that her younger brother was very similar to her, also liked to be alone, and was particularly sensitive to numbers, so she was worried that she would carry the gene for mental illness like her brother, but had not yet developed the disease.
Upon hearing this, Old Tan felt very sorry for her and knew very well what she was worried about, so he patiently persuaded her for a long time.
Finally, fearing that she would be unable to think straight and get stuck in a dead end, he invited Andy to go back to the villa with him.
Afterwards, the two had dinner together and talked a lot. After thinking and being counseled during dinner, Andy gradually controlled his emotions.
Seeing that she was indeed much better, Mr. Tan agreed to let her drive home alone.
But on the way home, Andy couldn't help but recall her childhood. She kept thinking about the scene of parting with her brother when she was adopted.
It was these memories that made her blame herself again. She was lost in thought all the way and finally drove the car back to Ode to Joy, but she became dazed again.
It just so happened that Han Tao had just returned from Binjiang Yipin and got out of the car in the garage.
He saw that Andy's car stopped but she didn't get out. He was worried that something had happened to her, so he walked over to check.
When he saw Andy in a daze through the car window, he hesitated for a moment and then knocked on her window glass.
Only then did Andy finally come to her senses. She forced herself to calm down, then got out of the car dejectedly and told Han Tao that she felt a little unwell, and then left in a hurry.
When Han Tao saw Andy's condition, he immediately figured out the reason. He was present when Lao Yan came to see Tan Zongming in the afternoon.
Although he left later and didn't hear their conversation, Han Tao was familiar with the plot, so he knew that Xiao Ming was found.
But his brother was suspected of having dementia or mental illness, so Andy found it difficult to accept it for a while and associated it with himself, which is why he became like this.
Thinking of this, Han Tao knew that Andy was very scared and vulnerable at this time. He needed an outlet to vent and even more so, someone to listen.
So after thinking for a moment, he hurried back to 2301, took a shower, changed his clothes, and went downstairs with a bottle of wine.
………………
At the same time, Andy, who returned home, could no longer bear it. She was heartbroken and felt guilty towards her brother.
She felt that if she had returned home earlier, her brother would not be tossed around like he is today.
If she had come back earlier, her brother might not have fallen ill, because he was still normal when she left.
Therefore, she suspected that her brother must have been stimulated when he was adopted after she left, which led to his current situation.
Thinking of this, she began to feel uneasy again, even a little scared. It was okay when she was with Lao Tan before, because he was there to talk to her.
But when she got home and looked at the empty house, her guilt and uneasiness were magnified infinitely.
Andy, who was becoming more and more helpless, wanted to talk to someone for the first time, but he didn't know who to talk to.
So she started to get upset, and it took Han Tao several minutes of ringing the doorbell before she reacted and ran to open the door.
When the door of room 2201 opened, Han Tao felt bad looking at Andy, whose face was pale and eyes were misty with tears. So he adjusted his mentality and said with a warm smile:
"Andy, just now in the garage, I saw that you didn't look well, and I was really worried, so I came to see, is there something wrong?"
After saying that, Han Tao looked at Andy. Seeing her move away from the door, he walked in, put the wine aside, took out a tissue and handed it to Andy, and continued:
"What happened? We've been through the crisis together. If you consider me a friend, tell me the reason. Maybe it has something to do with that friend that Lao Tan met this afternoon, right?"
Andy, who was on the verge of a mental breakdown, looked at Han Tao in front of her and listened to his caring questions. She finally exploded. She had forgotten her fear of contact with people and directly leaned on his shoulder and burst into tears.
Andy was so pitiful at this moment that people couldn't help but want to comfort her, but Han Tao didn't say anything, and in order to avoid her overreacting, he didn't hug her tightly, but just stood there motionless and acted as her tool.
He knew that Andy was carrying too much psychological burden and now he just needed to vent it out.
Just like that, one person didn't move, and the other person leaned on his shoulder and cried. After a long time, Andy stopped crying.
When she realized that she was lying on Han Tao's shoulder, she immediately distanced herself from him and ran to the bathroom to wash her face.
Han Tao went to the kitchen, opened the red wine, took a bottle of water and two cups from the refrigerator, and sat down on the sofa.
When Andy came out of the bathroom, he didn't say anything. He just picked up the mineral water on the coffee table and started drinking it to relieve his tension.
But when she saw the area on Han Tao's shoulder that was wet with her tears, she said embarrassedly: "Han Tao, I'm sorry, I..."
"I understand, and if you're willing, I'd be happy to be a listener and give you some advice.
If you don't want to, just treat it as a small gathering with friends. It's better than being alone with your thoughts!"
Han Tao interrupted her, poured wine for each of them, and pushed a glass in front of her.
Andy looked at the red wine in front of her. She felt surprisingly at ease being with Han Tao, so she picked it up without thinking, drank it in one gulp, put down the glass and said:
"Han Tao, do you remember what I told you before? I came back to China this time, not only to help Old Tan take over the CFO position, but also to find my family!"
Han Tao nodded: "Remember, as a friend and because of my status, I also did some research on this. You came back to look for your brother, right?"
"I have to admit, Lao Tan's choice was right. Your intelligence work was very good. Apart from Lao Tan and a few others, no one knew that I returned to China to look for my brother!"
Andy looked at Han Tao in surprise. Although his life experience was not complicated, it was not something that ordinary people could find out, let alone know that it was his brother's story in such detail.
Han Tao drank the wine in his glass, then refilled two more cups and said slowly, "I'm sorry, Andy. I apologize if I offended you!
But that's the nature of my job. With acquisitions worth tens of billions of dollars, I can't afford to be careless. Whether it's my own company or my opponent, as a shareholder and consulting lawyer, I have to know both myself and the enemy!"
"You don't have to apologize, I totally understand!"
Andy nodded, drained the wine in his glass again, and continued, "Since you've done some research, you must know that I'm an orphan. I was adopted when I was young and brought to live abroad."
"I know, so I guess the reason you're so excited must be because Lao Tan's friend brought you news about your brother, right?"
Seeing Han Tao nodded and his guess was completely correct, Andy continued: "Yes, Lao Yan has found my brother!"
Han Tao looked at Andy, who had guzzled two glasses of wine in a row, and asked softly, "Did something unexpected happen? Otherwise, finding your brother is a good thing, you should be happy!"
"Well, even though the man was found, Lao Yan said he was diagnosed with a mental illness, so I hated myself for not coming back to find him sooner. I was also afraid that I might be..."
Seeing Andy getting more and more excited, Han Tao quickly interrupted her and said, "What's going on? You're a top student who graduated from Columbia University, and you suddenly suspect you have a mental illness. Aren't you just scaring yourself?"
"I don't want to think so, but Old Yan has confirmed it. He said my brother is very much like me. He likes quietness and being alone, and he's very sensitive to numbers. He really is like me. I can't fool myself."
After saying that, Andy nervously gripped the wine glass.
Han Tao looked at her and asked again, "Andy, when was your brother discovered to have mental problems?"
Andy sighed and replied, "He was discovered when he was very young, and was abandoned by his adoptive family many times!"
"If your brother was found to have mental problems when he was very young and was then abandoned by his adoptive family, I think your speculation is just wishful thinking.
If you analyze it in the simplest way, you know the answer. You have been in the glamorous world of New York for so many years and have experienced countless high-pressure jobs, but you are still rational.
So in this regard, you and your brother are simply not comparable!" Han Tao explained to her calmly.
Andy shook his head and said, "What if the time hasn't come yet? My brother didn't get sick when he was with me, and he didn't get sick when he was adopted. He only got sick later..."
"Andy, don't scare yourself if there's nothing confirmed!"
Han Tao interrupted Andy's speculation again and said earnestly, "Old Tan can hand over billions of mergers and acquisitions to you, but you suspect you are going crazy. Are you kidding yourself or him?
Even if you want to make fun of him, please consider my feelings. I am the third largest shareholder of Red Star and I also hold hundreds of millions of shares in Shengxuan Group. You are not scaring yourself, you are scaring us!"
Andy couldn't help but laugh at Han Tao's words and said, "Did you discuss this with Old Tan? Why do you two always say such similar things?
But you are absolutely right. If my brother is really like what Lao Yan said, I should stay awake because he still needs my care!"
Seeing Andy regain his former shrewdness and competence, Han Tao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
