After saying this fiercely, Gong Yan looked at Jiang Mian and asked, "Why are you getting involved with him again?"

Having died once, he still won't behave? Gong Yan once said that Jiang Mian is good in every way, but this love-struck brain is bound to cause problems.

Jiang Mian didn't answer, but just glanced at her and said, "What do you think?"

“I…” Gong Yan opened her mouth, then realized what she meant and sighed, “Little Stone.”

Jiang Mian smiled. "Hmm. To be honest, I've thought about it. If I had the chance to do it all over again, I probably wouldn't regret giving birth to Xiao Shitou. It's just that I died too young, so I'll have some regrets."

Jiang Mian's voice was somewhat downcast, "In the years I've been away, it seems he hasn't been doing very well."

Speaking of this, Gong Yan's face and voice turned cold again, "That beast Lu Bozhou."

Jiang Mian placed a steaming bowl of potato balls in front of Gong Yan.

Gong Yan looked at the steaming food in front of her, and her hand holding the spoon even trembled slightly.

I feel inexplicably nervous.

It's as if the taste of this bowl of potato balls in front of me represents everything.

She scooped up a meatball and silently put it in her mouth.

When familiar flavors bloom on the taste buds.

Gong Yan lowered her head and remained silent, only sniffing softly.

A drop of water fell from my eye into the bowl.

Jiang Mian sat down opposite her and looked at her.

"Eat quickly," Jiang Mian said.

Gong Yan ate several bites in silence before finally managing to calm herself down.

Gong Yan said softly, "You are still so young, while I am old."

"Nonsense." Jiang Mian laughed, then thought for a moment and asked, "What happened after I died?"

"After you died, Jiang Yu and your parents originally wanted to get custody of Xiao Shitou, because they felt that the Lu family and Lu Bozhou had only treated you that way, so how good could they be to the child you left behind?"

At this point, Gong Yan's expression took on a mocking tone.

"That's interesting. Your parents were involved in your relationship with Lu Bozhou back then."

"You've suffered so much injustice in the Lu family all these years, they're probably aware of it, but they just turn a blind eye for the sake of maintaining a stable relationship."

"After you died, they seemed to have a change of heart. What were they doing when they were alive? And Lu Bozhou too..."

Gong Yan paused for a moment when she said this.

She didn't continue speaking, and instead ate two potato balls with her head down.

Jiang Mian was taken aback and asked, "What happened to Lu Bozhou?"

But Gong Yan was unwilling to say more about Lu Bozhou. "What good could that scoundrel be? In short, he wouldn't let anyone take away custody of Xiao Shitou and insisted on keeping him by his side."

“He is the father, the legal father, and the biological father. If he doesn’t want to give up custody, no one can take away Xiao Shitou’s custody.”

"In short, Jiang Yu often went to Dingsheng to act crazy during that period."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mian thought to herself, "Let alone that period of time, Jiang Yu still goes to Dingsheng to act crazy all the time now."

"Lu Bozhou probably did something wrong, anyway, he gave Jiang Yu a lot of leeway in business, and the Jiang family's business is getting better and better."

Hearing this, Jiang Mian understood. No wonder she said that before she died, the Jiang family's business was always dependent on the Lu family and was barely surviving.

After being reborn, the Jiang family's business actually flourished and developed quite well.

So that's what happened.

“I have a strong aversion to Los Angeles, so I shifted my work focus overseas. It wasn’t until last year that I moved my focus back here,” Gong Yan said.

It sounds like just a few simple words.

Lighter than paper.

But so many people endured five years of hardship and suffering, thousands of days and nights.

"Can I stay here with you tonight?" Jiang Mian asked, looking at her.

Gong Yan shrugged, having no objection whatsoever. "My house is 260 square meters, do you think I'd be short of space for you?"

Jiang Mian smiled, her eyes crinkling.

Gong Yan sighed softly, "I still find it unbelievable. How could such a thing happen?"

"I don't know either," Jiang Mian shook her head.

"Did you go to the temple to pray and ask?"

"No, do you want to go? I'll ask next time."

Jiang Mian also felt that her rebirth was quite mysterious.

But probably because my situation is rather mysterious...

Her voice sounded inexplicably guilty.

“I’m always worried that I might be possessed by some evil spirit or something…you know? If I go to a temple or something, they’ll suppress me. I can’t be suppressed right now.”

Gong Yan chuckled and gently brushed Jiang Mian's hair behind her ear with her fingers.

He glanced at her casually, then his gaze settled on the back of Jiang Mian's ear.

“I also find it amazing. I originally thought that God was giving me a chance to start over.”

Jiang Mian paused, "But it turns out that's not the case. Even if I were to live again, it would just be... falling into the same trap."

Gong Yan frowned as she looked at the purplish-red hickey behind her ear.

"Lu Bozhou... he touched you?" Gong Yan asked.

Jiang Mian sighed softly, "It's more than that."

Jiang Mian looked into Gong Yan's eyes and said, "He wants me to marry him."

Upon hearing this, Gong Yanteng suddenly stood up.

She spun around in circles like a headless fly.

"So, that's why you said you asked me on the phone earlier about how to fight for custody?!"

Jiang Mian bit her lip. "Although the order is wrong, it doesn't matter."

Gong Yan's eyes widened. "You're planning to say yes?"

Jiang Mian looked at Gong Yan and said, "I feel that this is my only chance. Yan Yan, I can't abandon my son."

Upon hearing Jiang Mian's words, Gong Yan opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.

After a long pause, she asked in a low voice, "What do you plan to do?"

"I plan to go along with his wishes. It's just marriage, right?" Jiang Mian gave a self-deprecating bitter laugh. "I'm quite experienced now. Practice makes perfect, how could it get any worse?"

Seeing the smile on Jiang Mian's face, Gong Yan felt very sorry for her.

"But I won't be love-struck anymore." Jiang Mian's gaze calmed down.

“I’ve figured it out. He’s looking for me. He just wants a new one, a shield to protect himself from the troubles of the Lu family, and a new substitute.”

Hearing Jiang Mian's words, Gong Yan hesitated, as she had something she wanted to say.

But then I felt it was unnecessary. Late-blooming affection is worthless, and someone like Lu Bozhou had never been kind to Mianmian for a single day.

What good is it if he becomes crazy, obsessive, or resentful afterward?

Mianmian is dead.

When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out. The current Jiang Mian is Jiang Mian, and she doesn't need to know those things.

Gong Yan's gaze gradually hardened.

"It's good that you've thought it through," Gong Yan said. "Don't worry, I'll help you, anytime."

"I'll always be on your side." [Qiqi is begging for votes and favorites! Such a touching display of friendship! The bond between girls is truly the coolest!]
