Chapter 286 - Hopefulness
Chen Qian looked back at him disdainfully.
According to this thing, she thought that men were so hypocritical that they only cared about themselves.
At this moment, Chen Qian thought that the reason why Jiang Jingcheng exerted all his energies to help her was that she as a decoy to tantalize Jiang Jingcheng. She couldn’t think of any other reason why a man would help her unconditionally.
Everyone did things on principle, including Jiang Jingcheng. If Chen Qian did not show a trace of affection for him, he wouldn’t spare no effort to do such a thing.
Jiang Jingcheng had a depressed feeling that the battle between women was like a white war, which was particularly dangerous. “When exactly will that end?” He thought while looking at her receding figure.
Jiang Jingcheng didn’t drove away from Chen Qian’s neighborhood until her figure disappeared in the distance.
After Chen Qian entered the house and changed her shoes, she finally had an emotional outburst. She took off her coat and threw it on the ground. She had been tired out these days. She tailed Gu Yan from morning to night, but she still failed completely. She didn’t know what to do next although she had some ideas without full confidence.
“Qian, what happened to you? Is anything going wrong? Your Aunt Mo gave me a call to ask how you’re doing these days. It seems that she cares about you very much.” Chen Qian’s mother, Li Qinglan, said while watching TV series and eating sunflower seeds. She had just played mahjong, and she stopped what she was doing as soon as Chen Qian came in.
Chen Qian was despondent and absent-minded. Her face was pale without a trace of ruddiness, and her former vivacity had vanished into thin air, which made Li Qinglan be distressed. She run to Chen Qian and let her sit onto the sofa.
“Tell me what exactly is going on, Qian. Take it easy. Mom will help you no matter what happened. Don’t suffer alone.” Li Qinglan said. When she saw Chen Qian didn’t say anything, she held Chen Qian’s hands and gently rubbing her thin shoulders.
“Mom, I’m good. I just feel a little tired now. A good sleep will make me feel better. Don’t worry. I am fine.” Chen Qian said and tried to have a smile to comfort her mother while looking at Li Qinglan, who was worried about her.
But Li Qinglan read her mind directly because Chen Qian carefreely grew up under her wing. This little girl had never suffered anything since she was born.
But everything changed since she met Mo Yichen. She became anxious and was swayed by considerations of gain and loss. The previous vibrant girl disappeared. Her life had been totally changed by Mo Yichen ever since she fell in love.
But as known to all, life was never easy. Mo Yichen’s appearance completely changed Chen Qian!
Li Qinglan knew that her daughter felt sorrow for Mo Yichen. She could not count how many times her daughter had cried for him. She could not stand that. So, she made up her mind to realize Chen Qian’s dream that letting Mo Yichen marry Chen Qian willingly.
As for Gu Yan, she should go back to her previous life because only that kind of life could fit her.
Li Qinglan suddenly thought of something. She stood up and hurried to the kitchen, as if she had forgotten something important.
At this moment, Chen Qian was exhausted. She was lying on the sofa and thinking about all things happened these days. She had to figure out how to do next and find a good solution which could make the best of both worlds. In the meantime, she could not stand any failure because if she failed again, she could not persuade herself into moving on for the sake of love.
A few moments later, Li Qinglan took out a bowl of hot soup and carefully placed it on the table in front of her daughter.
“Qian, I cooked some tonic soup for you. Drink it while it’s hot. I understand that you have been exhausted by Mo Yichen and Gu Yan. But you should know that nothing is important than your health. Only when you have a healthy body can you continue to contend with Gu Yan, right?” Li Qinglan said.
Chen Qian thought her mom’s words were reasonable. She must take care of herself. She believed that she would finally win if she kept contending with Gu Yan.
Therefore, she sat up, picked up the bowl of soup, and gulped it. The soup tasted so good. Chen Qian had a lump in her throat. The only person in the world who cared about her unconditionally was her mother.
Then, she fell into Li Qinglan’s arms. She did not suppress her emotions and burst into tears. The tears quickly soaked most of Li Qinglan’s clothes.
Li Qinglan felt bad while seeing Chen Qian cry. Chen Qian and Mo Yichen were childhood sweethearts, but now the nice relationship was threatened by Gu Yan. What’s worse, Mo Yichen did like Gu Yan as well without concerning that woman had nothing. Li Qinglan was unreconciled. No one could snatch things from her daughter. So, she vowed to help her daughter get back what belonged to her.
“Dear, take it easy. Mom will always be with you. Believe me, I have a perfect solution for this. What you should do now is to take good sleep. You will find that everything work itself out when you wake up tomorrow.” Li Qinglan softly comforted.
“Really?” Chen Qian asked hopefully. For as long as she could remember, whatever she wanted, her mother would do anything to help her get it.
Although Chen Qian knew that love could not be bought by money, she firmly believed that as long as she persisted chasing Mo Yichen, they finally would get married.
“You have my word.” Li Qinglan said. Chen Qian was emboldened by it.
Chen Qian threw herself into Li Qinglan’s arms again and rubbed against her mother’s chest. At this moment, she felt her future was full of hope!
Chen Qian stood there and gave a mocking smile.
