Become a stepmother and save the male protagonist of the painful literary school

When Jian Yan heard the words "satisfactory answer", a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart. If someone else said this, it might just be useless courtesy, but it was completely different when it came from Tong Ruixiao's mouth.

Whatever he says, he will definitely practice it 100%.

She was slightly shaken and held out her hand for him to sit down. "I do have something I want you to do. Before that, I want to ask you one more question. You must answer truthfully, otherwise we can't proceed."

Tong Ruixiao spoke in a gentle voice, leaning towards her with a trusting attitude, "You go ahead."

"Do you love Tong Huaimu?"

"Love."

Her eyes lit up. "Really?"

Tong Ruixiao was puzzled. "Why is this false? Isn't it normal for a father to love his son?"

She pondered for a moment and said, "I got some news recently. Don't be angry after hearing it."

"No." He wouldn't get angry for no reason just because of a little news. That would be too outrageous.

"Did you hide something from me that night?"

Tong Ruixiao nodded, "I did speak selectively and didn't tell you all the details."

"The dead are great, and I think I'll just let her affairs go with the wind."

Jian Yan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly sighed, "So that's what you think."

Indeed, the dead are great.

Tong Ruixiao can't say bad things about the dead with his personality.

That's why he puts the focus on himself instead of the dispute between the two of them. He avoids the important issues and tells some things that are close to the truth but will put himself in an unjust situation.

"The one who drugged you was Tong Huaimu's mother, right?"

Tong Ruixiao looked up suddenly, in disbelief, and then asked: "You - who told you?"

This reaction means there is no escape.

Jian Yan shook her head. "That's not important. What's important is that she harmed you and forced you to get married. Don't you hate her?"

This question was very sharp and involved personal privacy, but he did not avoid it but answered it seriously.

"It would be a lie to say I didn't have any feelings for her, but I didn't hate her. I could only say I hated her. But that disgust disappeared the moment she died."

"What about Xiao Mu? His birth was not what you wanted, and it is proof that you were schemed against. How do you feel about him?"

After going around in circles, Jian Yan finally came to the point, and his heart was pounding.

"I didn't like him when he first came back to the Tong family. It was like the old saying goes, 'Love the house and hate the whole family.' But slowly this dislike faded. I didn't have any contact with the child. In my eyes, he was just an ordinary child."

"When his mother passed away, I felt guilty towards him, so I tried my best to make amends, but I found it was too late. Now I can't tell whether I love him more or feel more sorry for him."

"So you don't hate him now because of his background?"

"No, I won't hate a child for sixteen years because of one thing." He looked at the light in her eyes and was a little confused. "Why do you ask?"

She was still worried and asked again: "You didn't lie to me when I asked you today?"

"I have no reason to lie to you."

He knows that he doesn't have a good image in her mind, but he will do things to make her trust him in the hope of making the relationship better.

"it is good."

The gloom on Jian Yan's face was much less, and he smiled a little, "After talking to you that day, Xiao Mu came to me and cried, and that's when I learned about these things."

"He thinks you've always hated and loathed him, and he's very sad."

Tong Ruixiao couldn't help but frowned, surprised and reluctant, "He actually knew all these things..."

When children know what is going on between adults, it is bound to cause great waves in their hearts, and in serious cases it may cause irreversible harm.

Jian Yan: "I can feel that he respects and loves you, and you care about him. The reason why your relationship hasn't improved is probably because of this incident."

"He said he was a stain on you and you would never forgive him."

She did not say "he was the tool her mother used to tie you up" because, influenced by Tong Ruixiao, she still respected the reputation of the deceased.

Even though he might have known the truth from the beginning.

That shouldn't have come out of her mouth.

Tong Ruixiao had a headache and was annoyed. "How is it possible? I have always regarded him as a relative. I will go find him now——"

He rarely felt extremely urgent, but now he felt he could not sit still at all, so he stood up and was about to open the door and leave.

This is a misunderstanding, a big misunderstanding!

"Stop first! Judging from what happened last night, Xiao Mu has known about this for many years. You can be anxious for two days. And if you rashly tell him, wouldn't I become a snitch?"

Jian Yan pulled his wrist hard, but saw that he couldn't help frowning. Her eyes fell on the half of his wrist exposed by the cuff of his sweater. The bandage had been removed, but the wound had not healed yet.

His hand loosened, "Sorry."

"fine."

He sat back in his chair and said, "I was rash just now and didn't consider you. This matter needs to be considered carefully."

"In fact, if you care about someone, he or she can feel it. If you can start by caring about the little things in daily life, let him or her feel that you don't hate him or her, and then talk about it in a subtle way, his or her heart will be untied."

"Start with caring..." He repeated her words, understanding what she meant, "Then I'll try."

"It's just... can a person definitely feel your concern for him or her?" He looked at her with a look of disapproval.

“You’ll feel it.”

"If the other person doesn't feel it, then it's because you're not using the right method or you're not expressing it well enough."

He nodded thoughtfully, "I see."

The conversation ended very pleasantly.

Time flies and it is the sixth day of the first lunar month.

The seventh day after Jian Gang’s death.

The man on the phone said in a gloomy voice, "Yan Yan, you didn't even reply on the seventh day, are you forcing me to do this?"

Jian Yan sneered:

"Will I go back and be humiliated by you again?"

"If there's nothing else, it's better for President Jian to call me less often. After all, our relationship is not something that can be put on the table. I don't want to be dragged into the gutter by you and become a rat that can't see the light of day, and everyone will shout and beat it."

He still didn't give up. "As long as you are willing to come back to me, I will let you be my lover legitimately, and I won't care about anything that happened in the past...including the beating I received from that Tong guy."

"It's your business if he hits you. What does it have to do with me? And whether you care or not is none of my business."

"Jian Yao, from the moment you took my shares through despicable means and pushed me out of the Jian family, we no longer have any relationship."

"I won't go on the seventh day. Please send my condolences to Grandpa on my behalf."

After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

The farther away from her Jian Yao was, the better. It would be best if it ended like this and she would never see him again. But she knew that such an extreme person would never give up until he achieved his goal, so she had to be vigilant at all times.
