In fact, Jiang Mian herself didn't know why at that time, even though she had always done a good job with the measures.

But she still got pregnant.

Logically speaking, if she didn't keep the child, it would be more detrimental to her health.

In that sense, she should also be considered a victim.

Lu Bozhou offered no words of comfort, but instead immediately began to suspect her.

Hidden within her initial anxiety was a small sense of delight.

But his brief words shattered it all.

She knew that Lu Bozhou didn't even want the child.

Yan Ke and Lu Hong disagreed and insisted that she give birth.

Now that he's been given a second chance at life, Lu Bozhou says that whether or not to have children... it's up to her?

This left Jiang Mian with mixed feelings.

On one hand, I feel sorry for my past self.

On the other hand, she couldn't help but wonder, did he really recognize her? That's why he said that?

Does he feel guilty towards her from the past?

But while thinking this to myself, I was also scolding myself for not thinking straight because I was in love.

No wonder Gong Yan used to always scold her.

……

It has to be said that one sentence from Lu Bozhou is more effective than a hundred sentences from her.

After that day, Mu Xiaomei indeed behaved much better and stopped staking out her school gate.

Jiang Feng, however, called her with great concern.

"Sister, did Mom come looking for you?"

Jiang Feng didn't even use a question tone; he used an affirmative tone directly.

Jiang Mian countered, "What? Did she go to see you too?"

"Yes, he came over and called me a few times."

"Are you insulting me?" Jiang Mian smiled, knowing without a doubt what Mu Xiaomei would say.

Jiang Feng sighed, "Yeah, they've been saying bad things about you, saying you're heartless, saying they raised you for nothing, that you've forgotten your parents after marrying a man, and so on..."

Jiang Feng felt increasingly exhausted as he spoke.

"I originally wanted to refute her and make some arguments, but then I felt that it was pointless."

“She watched you grow up. If she can’t even tell whether you’re good or bad… she’s been brainwashed by Jiang Da. What I say is meaningless.”

"Whether my own sister is good or bad, don't I know better than her? Everything else is fine, but listening to her say these things, and thinking that she is my mother, makes me feel very tired."

"Sister, she's been brainwashed. You don't need to listen to what she says, and you don't need to be upset."

Jiang Feng was clearly quite upset himself, but he still tried his best to talk to Jiang Mian and comfort her.

“She can still support herself in her hometown now, but by the time she really needs someone to take care of her in her old age, I will be too old.”

"I will take responsibility, so don't be sad or worry, sister."

Jiang Mian didn't feel anything; people need to have expectations to feel sad.

She had absolutely no feelings for Mu Xiaomei, so naturally, she wasn't sad.

"I'm fine. Just don't be sad and don't let it affect your studies."

"Don't worry." Jiang Feng said, then seemed to remember something, "Oh right, she also mentioned Jiang Da, saying that you even abused your own father and that she's going to sue you."

"Don't worry about her," Jiang Mian said.

Jiang Feng asked, "Sister, do you really know where Jiang Da is?"

“I don’t know where he is, and I don’t want to know, but someone does. And what I can guess is that he must be being punished right now,” Jiang Mian said.

Jiang Feng was filled with righteous indignation. "He deserved it!"

After ending the phone call with Jiang Feng, Zhan Meng said from the side, "Luckily, your brother is a good brother."

“Yes, he’s good-looking, has good grades, and is good to me,” Jiang Mian said. “He’s the only thing I can’t let go of in that family.”

"It's great, many sons raised in families like this are pretty useless. They just want to leech off their sisters..."

Before knowing what kind of person Jiang Feng was, Zhan Meng was genuinely worried about Jiang Mian.

"Let's go, let's go have lunch," Jiang Mian said.

"What? You don't have to eat with your husband today?" Zhan Mengyu teased her with a hint of sarcasm.

Jiang Mian glanced at her and said, "Yeah, otherwise I could have taken you to bump into Assistant Song."

"Hey, you..." Zhan Meng was a little embarrassed.

"But to soothe your wounded heart, I've decided to treat you to some clay pot dishes," Jiang Mian said with a smile.

As soon as the two arrived at the school gate, Jiang Mian saw a familiar figure standing there.

His car was parked on the side of the road, and he was standing next to it, fiddling with a lighter in his hand, but he didn't seem to be smoking.

"Jiang Mian!" Jiang Yu called out to her as he saw her come out.

Zhan Meng looked at the tall, slender, handsome man standing next to the luxury car not far away.

She turned to look at Jiang Mian with some surprise, "What exactly did you go through during the time I was teaching in the rural area?"

Jiang Mian looked at her and smiled, "Haved gone through many hardships?"

They experienced life and death.

Zhan Meng sighed softly, "I guessed so."

Zhan Meng gently patted Jiang Mian's shoulder, "Looks like you won't be able to have dinner with me today?"

Jiang Yu had already walked over. "get out of class is over?"

"Hmm, what's wrong? Did something happen to Little Stone at kindergarten...?"

"No." Jiang Yu waved his hand. "But because of this, my parents are very happy and in a good mood every day. Thanks to you, I should have invited you to dinner a long time ago, but I've been a bit busy with work lately and haven't had time to come."

"You're too kind," Jiang Mian said.

"It's just a meal." Jiang Yu opened the car door and gestured for him to get in.

Just as Zhan Meng was about to say goodbye, Jiang Yu glanced at her and said, "Let's all come together, classmates."

Lunch was quite enjoyable.

After lunch, Jiang Yu took them back to school before leaving.

Zhan Meng couldn't help but exclaim, "The service is really good!"

“I’m increasingly baffled by your interpersonal relationships,” Zhan Meng sighed. “I originally thought this person might have feelings for you.”

Jiang Mian looked at her, "What do you mean?"

“I must have misread it.” Zhan Meng shook her head. “It’s complicated. To say that I like you doesn’t quite seem right. There’s nothing ambiguous in my words, actions, or eyes.”

"But to say no, sometimes I'm too affectionate with you."

Moreover, Zhan Meng had overheard their conversation during dinner and had gleaned some clues from their conversation.

"He seems to be... your husband Lu's brother-in-law?"

“My former brother-in-law.” Jiang Mian nodded.

Zhan Meng seemed to be processing this matter, and didn't speak to Jiang Mian again along the way.

It wasn't until they reached the door of the large classroom for the afternoon class that Zhan Meng suddenly grabbed her hand.

"Mianmian, don't become someone else's substitute," Zhan Meng said seriously. "Even if you have no choice, don't get caught up in it."

Jiang Mian looked at Zhan Meng, sighed softly, and nodded, saying, "I know."

She realized that she was older than Zhan Meng in her previous life, yet she didn't see things as clearly as Zhan Meng.

They lived blindly and humbly.

Fortunately, God gave her a second chance; this time, it won't happen again.
