I seem to be being watched by them.

Aunt Meng has a sharp eye... However, Su Yang couldn't sense any change in Meng Ying's attitude towards him. It was strange. If she really felt that there was something going on between him, Yu Weiyang and Wang Yufei, shouldn't her impression of him become worse?

Could it be that she really doesn't care?

Chapter 277 I have a friend...

Su Yang stood beside Meng Ying, holding onto the railing, and said, "Sometimes I always feel like Aunt Meng has something very sad in her heart. I don't know if I'm overthinking it."

Meng Ying lifted the hair beside her ear and smiled softly, "Why should I be sad? I have lived a better life than most people in this world. Why should I be sad?"

"Different people have different types of problems. It doesn't mean that Aunt Meng will never be sad just because she has money." Su Yang said.

Meng Ying looked at Su Yang, squinted her eyes and smiled, "The one who chatted with me like this before was Qian Dai."

"Aunt Meng likes Sister Qiandai very much?" Su Yang asked.

"Sister Qian Dai? Hongli calls her Sister Liu, but you are closer to her than Hongli? You and Qian Dai have a very good relationship in private?" Meng Ying was a little surprised when she heard this, then chuckled and said, "Don't show off."

Su Yang shook his head. "My relationship with Sister Qian Dai is not as good as Hong Li's with Sister Qian Dai. We are just verbally close."

Meng Ying looked at Su Yang with a smile in her eyes and said, "You know, I have never found a partner, nor have I had a family, so, during that period of time, I treated Qian Dai as my daughter."

Su Yang felt that Aunt Meng was indeed very lonely and really wanted a son or daughter. That must be the case.

"She probably thinks of me as her mother. She thinks of me in everything. She is also very professional. With her around, many things are much easier for me." Meng Ying brushed the hair that was messed up by the wind behind her ear. "I am very happy to see you get along well with her. Although I didn't say it explicitly, in my heart, she is the same as my goddaughter. You are the godson and she is the goddaughter. So it's not wrong for you to call her sister."

Su Yang was silent for a while after hearing this, then he slowly moved closer to Meng Ying, "I always feel like Aunt Meng is always lonely."

"Really? Actually, I think I'm used to being alone and should not care about these things anymore." Meng Ying said, but her tone sounded a little hesitant.

Su Yang felt that Meng Ying must not be used to it, otherwise she would not treat Liu Qiandai and himself and Hong Li as her daughter and son.

"Although Aunt Meng said that she has never met the right one, sometimes I really think Aunt Meng should pay attention. With Aunt Meng's conditions, it must not be difficult for her to find someone who satisfies her." Su Yang said in a low voice.

Meng Ying looked at Su Yang and smiled, "I don't want to get married, I don't have that idea, but I do want a child."

"That's possible..." Su Yang thought for a moment, "Now that technology is so advanced, we can have test-tube babies."

Meng Ying shook her head and smiled, "Actually... um... tsk."

Meng Ying hesitated for a second before saying, "I don't want to have a child through these means, and I think I've missed the right time. In fact, I think it would be best if my child is the same age as you. It's too late to have a child at this age."

I don't want to get married or have IVF, but I just want a child...

"What about adoption?" Su Yang asked.

Meng Ying also smiled and shook her head. "Something happened to Aunt Meng in the past, so I am very opposed to getting married, having a test-tube baby, or adopting a baby now."

Su Yang opened his mouth and wanted to ask, but he felt that Meng Ying had not said it directly just now, and it might not be a good idea to ask these questions directly, so he did not ask.

"I have quite a few friends of the same age whose children are almost as old as yours, only one or two years older at most." Meng Ying said, "For example, my old classmates. Sometimes I envy them. Some of them even have grandchildren, haha..."

Su Yang said: "Aunt Meng also has a son, and a godson is also a son."

Hearing this, Meng Ying looked at Su Yang, smiled, held Su Yang's hand, and patted the back of his hand. "That's right, a godson is still a son. There's no need to envy those people."

"Besides, I think I may not know how to discipline a child. If I really have to raise a child, I don't know what he will become." Meng Ying laughed, "I'm afraid that I will spoil him and turn him into a playboy. I'm also worried that if I discipline him too strictly, he will rebel against me. Alas, many of my friends' children have conflicts with their parents when they grow up."

"If I really had a biological child, I'd hope his personality would be similar to yours or Hongli's. I wouldn't have to worry about him being ignorant."

A loving mother gives birth to a bad son. Su Yang felt that what Meng Ying said was true. If Aunt Meng was his mother, Su Yang felt that he would definitely be spoiled by Meng Ying. She loved younger generations who were not her biological mother so much, and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars at a time. As for her own biological son, she would be afraid of dropping him if she held him in her hands, and afraid of him melting if she held him in her mouth.

Su Yang smiled and said, "Aunt Meng is so good to children. Even if you have a son, he will definitely understand Aunt Meng's painstaking efforts."

Although he thought so in his heart, Su Yang naturally would not say it out loud. Su Yang had no intention of preaching to Meng Ying.

Someone like Aunt Meng, who has been in a high position for a long time, probably hates others telling her what to do and hates being lectured.

"You don't have to say nice things to me." Meng Ying rolled her eyes at Su Yang, then smiled and said, "Aunt Meng is not that sensitive."

But you look happy, don't you?

Su Yang smiled but said nothing.

"Oh, by the way, there is something I want to ask you about." Meng Ying said.

"Just ask." Su Yang said with a smile.

"Well, I have a friend who has a rather delicate relationship with her son, and her son's situation is rather special, so I wanted to ask for your opinion, since your situation is quite similar to her son's." Meng Ying said.

More similar to me?

Su Yang was a little surprised, and then asked: "What exactly happened?"

"It's probably like this. My friend is a careless person. When she was young, she focused on work. She has a son, but she neglected to take care of him, so she gave the child to a relative to take care of. Then the child got lost while in the care of that relative. Now the child has been found, but the child is resentful of my friend. You know, after all, he didn't raise her, so he's not close to her. Although she is quite rich, the child doesn't care about her money at all. He doesn't care about it. So even if the child is found now, he doesn't know how to get along with the child."

"What is the situation now? The child resents her, and she doesn't know how to explain it to the child, nor does she know how to ease the relationship with the child."

When Su Yang heard this, he immediately understood why Meng Ying said it was similar to himself.

Su Yang thought for a moment and asked, "How old is the child?"

"Twenty-two years old." Meng Ying took out her cell phone and showed it to Su Yang. There were photos of her friends, photos of the son she mentioned, and a group photo, but the photo was of the child when he was a child.

Chapter 278: Her Son Doesn’t Recognize Her

Su Yang took a look and found that Aunt Meng's friend looked much older than Aunt Meng. Aunt Meng looked to be around 27 or 28 years old. Although the other party was also well maintained, she looked to be around 36 or 37 years old. She could be considered to still have some charm, but compared with Aunt Meng, she was far inferior, several orders of magnitude.

The other party's son looked to be in his early twenties, with a buzz cut and wearing a military uniform. He must be a soldier. He was well-dressed, looked upright, and had a righteous air.

Su Yang thought for a moment and said, "It took you so long to find the child?"

"It wasn't as easy to find someone back then as it is now with the powerful Internet." Meng Ying said, "I've known her for a long time. When her child was gone, she traveled all over the country and completely ignored her work. She mortgaged all her family property and spent a lot of money on missing person notices. She went to TV stations and paid the public to provide clues. In the end, she spent all her money and got a lot of false information. She almost went bankrupt and still couldn't find any clues."

"After searching for six or seven years, I gave up without finding any useful clues." Meng Ying said, "It was also a coincidence. I think blood ties may really be a bond. Last year, the private high school under her name recruited a group of instructors to come to the school to train students. Her son happened to be there to guide the new students, and then I met her son."

"What a coincidence! He almost went bankrupt and couldn't find any clues. More than ten years later, he came back to her. She knew it was her son at first sight. I asked her why she was so sure. She said that she felt her son's features were familiar when she saw him. She knew it was her son after taking a few more glances. There was no other reason, just a feeling."

"Later, she put in some thought and used some connections to check the other party's file. She found that it was very likely, so she went straight to the person and confessed. In the end, they went for a paternity test together and found that it was indeed her son."

"Haha, the child was still young when he was lost, so he couldn't recognize his mother at a glance. But the mother had a very clear memory of the child's appearance, and she had always remembered it in her mind, so she could recognize the child at a glance..."

"It's just that the child is very resentful towards my friend." Meng Ying said, "He refused to acknowledge my friend, thinking that he hadn't been approached for so many years. Now that he has grown up, he suddenly jumps out and says I'm your mother and expects him to take care of her in her old age. He said a lot of excessive things, and my friend's heart was broken."

"It's impossible to say that my friend did nothing wrong. She has always blamed herself and felt that if she had spent more time taking care of the child, the child would not have been lost. So she didn't refute what the child said and just endured it with grievance."

"Su Yang, do you think that child should recognize me as his friend?" Meng Ying asked.

Su Yang pondered for a while and said, "People are not plants. I think the other party will soften his heart over time. Besides, didn't Aunt Meng's friend explain it?"

"Explanation? Even if I explain, the child has to listen. But the current situation is that the child is simply avoiding my friend. After returning to the army, he doesn't answer calls or reply to WeChat messages." Meng Ying shook her head.

"What about the other party's adoptive parents?" Su Yang asked, "Can we do some psychological work with them?"

"This is where things get more complicated. The child is very respectful to his adoptive parents. My friend also went to look for them, but they all have a deep prejudice against my friend and they don't even bother to talk to her. Besides, they've raised him for so many years, and it's like you, a biological mother who didn't take care of him since he was born, are going to look for him. It's like trying to snatch their son away. Will they agree?"

"In addition to the child, their family also has a daughter. The brother and sister have a very good relationship, and the parents also have a good relationship with the child. My friend, on the other hand, is like an outsider and is not welcomed at all."

Su Yang hesitated for a moment and said, "Then he has to meet her even if he doesn't want to. After all, he is her own son, not her abandoned child. Aunt Meng's friend will definitely not want to part with this flesh and blood that fell from her body, right?"

"Of course, you don't know that she has not been happy at all these years. She often dragged me to drink alone and cried secretly in the quilt. In fact, after finding the child, she has been much better than before. Although the child doesn't recognize her, at least she has found him. She knows that the child is healthy and that he has grown up successfully and become an outstanding soldier. She is actually very happy." Meng Ying sighed.

Su Yang thought for a moment and said, "In this situation, it seems that we can only wait for the other party to soften his heart... As long as the other party can sit down and talk, calm down and think about your friend's situation and actions, I don't believe he can still be so cruel as to deny your friend."

"Do you think there is still a possibility that he will forgive my friend?" Meng Ying asked.

"Of course, as long as they didn't abandon themselves, but got lost or kidnapped accidentally, there's nothing we can do about it. Of course, Aunt Meng's friend also had a lot of responsibility for not taking care of her own child, but after so many years of searching and spending so much time and money, she has made up for the mistakes she made at the time. As long as she has the idea of ​​making up for it, the companionship she lost later can also be made up." Su Yang said, "In fact, I shouldn't have been so impulsive at the time. There was no need to tell him directly that I was his mother. I should have tried to get close to him first, and then use other methods to let the child know my situation and difficulties back then. When the child understands, I can find a suitable opportunity to tell him everything. It's much worse to do this way."

Meng Ying smiled and said, "But do you know how excited a mother who has lost her child is when she sees her son again? After searching for so many years, my heart is broken. Seeing my son again... I think it was me. I couldn't help myself for even a second. I immediately wanted him to know that I was his mother."

What Su Yang said is a very rational way of dealing with things, but human behavior is emotional in many cases.

So he nodded and said, "That's right, it's not that easy to control yourself."

"I don't know... a mother, knowing that the person in front of her is her lost son, how much control does she have to have to hold him in her arms and not recognize him." Meng Ying said, "Only a heartless and ungrateful mother would do this, right?"

Su Yang shook his head. "Although people are emotional and it is normal to control themselves, I don't think what Aunt Meng said is heartless and ungrateful. On the contrary, it may be because I am too scared. I am afraid that I will lose something after confessing. I am afraid that if I tell the truth, the child will leave me again. I am afraid of all uncertainties. So I try hard to control myself. I think this is more serious than not being able to help myself."

Chapter 279 Whether you recognize her or not, Aunt Meng supports you

Meng Ying looked at Su Yang and said, "Maybe you are afraid to speak because you feel guilty?"

Su Yang smiled and said, "There are various possibilities."

Meng Ying was silent for a while, then said, "I really hope that the mother and son can have a normal relationship. My friend has never remarried in all these years, and has been waiting for her son. After searching for six years, she came back to do business. Over the years, she has never given up on finding clues to her son."

Su Yang nodded, "Yes, I think it's okay to recognize each other, and there's no need to worry about the issue of adoptive parents. After all, no one stipulates that you can only have one parent, right?"

Meng Ying nodded. "I think the child's refusal to recognize my friend was more or less influenced by his adoptive parents. According to my friend, the child has a special relationship with his sister... because they are not blood relatives, so... the two children are planning to get married in the future, so they don't want to give up the child."

Su Yang was surprised when he heard this: "That's better, if they want to get married, they have to cancel the adoption relationship anyway, and he won't be a son in the future, but he can still be a son-in-law, right? It won't affect it, right?"

"Their family is just an ordinary well-off family. They are probably worried that their son will become corrupt after he gets rich and disown them." Meng Ying said, "After all, I am sure that if the child is willing to return to my friend, she should be extremely doting on her son and will definitely make up for the debt she owed him for so many years. If the child is not of really good character, it is normal for him to become corrupt..."

Su Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Aunt Meng knows this is not good, she should persuade your friend."

"I can't persuade her. She hasn't seen her son for so many years. She hasn't been with him on his birthdays every year. She hasn't experienced every bit of his growth, every moment of success and failure. She can only make up for what she has lost now. I think if I had the same experience as her, I would probably be worse off than her." Meng Ying shook her head. "Even if I knew it was not good, I couldn't control myself. I can say this now only because I am an outsider and can think calmly."

I don’t really understand you…Mom.

Su Yang was a little embarrassed and said, "So the other party is mainly worried that their son will not recognize them after returning to Aunt Meng's friends, right? Well, that's normal. After all, I raised him as my own son with great effort. From the child's attitude, I can tell that his adoptive parents must treat him very well."

"What efforts do you think my friend should make now?" Meng Ying asked.

"I have no other suggestions. We can only wait and wait until time has passed." Su Yang said, "I guess Aunt Meng's friend is reluctant to force the child to do anything, so she can only wait and show all her sincerity and face it calmly. If the other party really doesn't intend to recognize her, then there is nothing to say. If the other party can live with it, it means he doesn't want to recognize Aunt Meng's friend at all. If he can't live with it, he naturally can't stand it. Even if he won't recognize your friend directly, he should visit more often and have more contact with her."

Meng Ying nodded, "It seems that this is the only way."

"Actually, if there is a chance, I can talk to this person on behalf of Aunt Meng's friend." Su Yang said, "My situation is similar to his, so I should be able to help to some extent."

Meng Ying smiled and said, "It's great that you're willing to help."

Su Yang was silent for a while, then asked, "Aunt Meng... has something similar happened before? Just now you said that you didn't find a partner for some reason..."

Meng Ying shook her head and said with a smile: "Don't look at Aunt Meng like this, Aunt Meng is a virgin... hehe."

Su Yang didn't expect Meng Ying to be so direct. He immediately felt embarrassed. "Hey, look at me, what kind of question is this..."

"I don't care." Meng Ying patted the back of Su Yang's hand. She smiled slyly, "Are you still embarrassed to tell Aunt Meng?"

Su Yang felt that the atmosphere was a little subtle, and quickly said: "I thought before... Aunt Meng was similar to your friend."

Meng Ying smiled and said, "Are they similar? Haha, I am much happier than her. After all, her son doesn't recognize her. Are you willing to call me godmother?"

Su Yang felt that was different. He was his biological son. Su Yang felt that he would definitely be forgiven. It was just a matter of time.

We are godson and godmother.

Come to think of it, it’s no wonder Aunt Meng thought it would be troublesome to have a biological son. It turns out there are such troublesome things around her.

However, Su Yang was also thinking about his own problems.

Indeed, thinking about problems from an outsider's perspective can relieve you of any psychological pressure.

But what if it were me, what if I encountered such a thing?

Will you recognize your own mother?

Without mentioning anything else, let's just assume that I was in the same situation as the other person, and my parents also neglected me and I got lost. Would I be able to listen to her when she said that she had been searching for me for many years without success?

Can you recognize each other easily?

Don’t you feel that you are disgracing the upbringing of your adoptive parents?

People always talk without any worries. Only when something bad happens to them can they make the most realistic decision.

Fortunately, my parents may not have let me get lost due to negligence, but they may have abandoned me.

This is also good, there is no need to have any psychological pressure to reject the other party.

"Aunt Meng, I'm thinking about my parents." Su Yang said.

"Well, what's wrong? What did you think of?" Meng Ying asked.

"I hope they abandoned me." Su Yang said.

"...Why?" Meng Ying asked.

"Because in that case, I can forget without any psychological pressure that I am not my parents' biological child." Su Yang said.
