Chapter 198 Moving to Hibiscus Garden
Chapter 198 Moving to Hibiscus Garden
After the funeral, Shen Jianxi said, "Don't live in the old house anymore. You're pregnant now and can't take care of a child as young as Chenchen. Why don't you move to Furong Garden? I've packed everything. You and Chenchen can go over there. I've hired three nannies to take care of you."
Yan Liang shook his head and refused: "No need! I hired a nanny to take care of Chenchen, and now I can still..."
"Stop being stubborn, okay?" Shen Jianxi's voice suddenly rose, revealing anger. "Is self-esteem so important? Is it more important than the child and your health?"
Yan Liang was stunned for a moment and looked at Shen Jianxi in disbelief.
"You have to be so stubborn that your body is damaged and your child is affected before you regret it?" Shen Jianxi's beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with tears of grievance, "You really don't want to accept my help, and would rather suffer alone? Do you still want that person to see your embarrassment, see that you are alone and helpless, and then come back to you?"
Yan Liang's dark mind seemed to be split by a bolt of lightning, and the chaos of the past few days finally brought a glimmer of clarity.
There has been no news from Sheng Boyan in the past few days. He has not sent her a message or called her. It was as if he had suddenly and completely withdrawn from her world.
Isn't this what she wanted? Why did her heart still ache uncontrollably?
"Yanliang, just think of it as me making it up to you. I should have done this a long time ago." Shen Jianxi looked eagerly into Yanliang's eyes. "You have spent seven years on me and helped me heal my leg. Even if it is just to make me feel at ease and not feel guilty, please accept my help, just like you helped me in the beginning, okay?"
"New Year's Eve is in two days, and I'm worried about you spending it alone with Chenchen in the old house! You must listen to me this time!" Shen Jianxi's last words were filled with some unquestionable arrogance.
Yan Liang saw sincerity and truth in his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and nodded: "Okay, I accept."
Shen Jianxi was immediately overjoyed. He rubbed his hands and turned around on the spot: "Okay! We don't need anything in the old house anymore. We can buy whatever we need in the new house!"
"No!" Yan Liang said hurriedly, "My embroidery must be brought over! Be careful when you move it, don't get it dirty, don't scratch it!"
"I've remembered it, don't worry." Shen Jianxi said as he was about to run out.
"No, I have to watch." Yan Liang said and followed. Shen Jianxi sighed helplessly and got in the car with her.
According to Yanliang, most of the things in the house are new and he wants to take them away, especially Chenchen's clothes and toys.
Shen Jianxi, however, looked down upon them and kept complaining that the toys were too stupid and cheap, and the clothes were ugly and not classy.
"Don't worry, Zhang Chao bought Chenchen a lot of clothes and toys these days, even clothes for the New Year." Shen Jianxi called two people to help move things. As a result, they only took Yanliang's embroidery supplies and computers. Yanliang didn't have many clothes to begin with, so they packed a suitcase.
When Yan Liang heard Zhang Chao's name, he was overwhelmed with endless emotion. Thinking back to the last period of time, Jiang Xiaomei often stared at Zhang Chao and Chen Chen playing from afar in a daze. When she looked back, Yan Liang saw the loneliness and sadness in her eyes, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
If Jiang Xiaomei could survive, would she and Zhang Chao be together?
She knew that Xiaomei had lost her energy ever since she was entangled with Wang Qinghai, and was living like a walking corpse, without her former drive and vitality.
Yan Liang did not call the police for Jiang Xiaomei's death because that would implicate Sheng Boyan.
Wang Qinghai is already dead, so why should Sheng Boyan get into trouble again?
Yan Liang didn't ask how Sheng Boyan got rid of these things, nor did she care what Shen Gufeng was going to do. She was now focused on making sure her baby was born smoothly and Chenchen grew up healthily.
The Hibiscus Garden lives up to its name, and the garden is full of hibiscus flowers. Although it is winter and the branches and leaves are withered, it is foreseeable that it will be lush and green in the spring and full of fragrance in the autumn.
In addition to hibiscus, some evergreen plants were also planted. But Yanliang didn't like that. She felt that plants should have the posture of the four seasons, just like life and mood, with ups and downs, there is charm.
Shen Jianxi bought a large flat, about 200 square meters, which is not very big. The decoration and layout are very comfortable, and it is the kind of warm home style that Yanliang likes.
After settling down, Zhang Chao brought Chenchen over.
Chenchen was a little restrained when he first arrived at the new home. Since he couldn't see his mother, the child's personality was obviously not as lively as before. When he saw the unfamiliar environment and strangers, he avoided looking, which made Yanliang feel distressed.
Fortunately, Zhang Chao often took him out to play, and they bought him all kinds of delicious and fun things, including various boys' clothes. It seemed like Zhang Chao wanted to move the clothing store back home.
Yan Liang only dreamed of Jiang Xiaomei on the night of the funeral. She looked at Yan Liang and cried, just like the day she was kidnapped, but there was no fear in her eyes, only sadness.
Yan Liang understood the meaning in her eyes, and she probably also understood that even if she didn't say a word, Yan Liang knew that the only thing she cared about was her son, and she would take good care of Chenchen.
I never dreamed of her again after that. She must have started a new life. I hope her new life is full of happiness and satisfaction.
Yanliang prayed secretly for blessings.
The company had its annual holiday, and He Xiaoyun and the others thought Yan Liang was sick, so they called and told her to take a good rest and not to come to work before the New Year.
Yan Liang still went to the company the day before his vacation.
Everything is as usual, colleagues are busy, and at the same time they are filled with festive joy and anticipation for a long vacation.
Han Jinghua even brought Yan Liang a new year calendar with fashionable clothing patterns printed on it.
Yan Liang gladly accepted it. This year's bonus was three times that of previous years, far beyond everyone's imagination. They all felt that they could have a prosperous new year. They laughed and joked with each other, which immediately diluted the sadness in Yan Liang's heart.
I didn't see Xie Yi. I heard from Han Jinghua that Mr. Xie hardly came to the company this week. I also didn't hear any news about Sheng Boyan. Yan Liang felt disappointed but also a little relieved, which meant that Wang Qinghai's incident did not affect him.
It snowed heavily on New Year's Eve, but the Furong Garden was brightly lit. The nanny prepared a lot of New Year's goods and a lot of meals, but the weather urged them to go home for the New Year.
She placed three simple tablets in the easternmost room, for Mother Yan, Mother Shang, and Xiaomei, and placed snacks and fruits in front of them and burned incense in a small incense burner.
Yanliang is not superstitious, she just wants to use this method to invite her closest people to celebrate the New Year together.
Chenchen, wearing brand new clothes and holding a toy car, ran around the ground a few times, raised his tender little face and asked, "Mom, are you coming back for the New Year?"
Yan Liang raised her head slightly, letting the tears welling up in her eyes flow back. She took Chenchen's hand and said with a smile, "Mom can't come back because of something, but she will be watching Chenchen from afar and blessing Chenchen."
There was disappointment in Chenchen's big, bright eyes, but she still nodded obediently: "Chenchen, eat well and grow up well, then mom will come back, right?"
Yanliang hugged Chenchen tightly in his arms, tears streaming down his face.
Suddenly the doorbell rang and Yan Liang was startled. Who would come on New Year's Eve?
The only ones who knew that she lived here were Shen Jianxi and Zhang Chao. When they opened the door, it was indeed them.
