Jiang Mian stared blankly at the photo on the screen, for a moment, or perhaps for a long time.

He didn't come to his senses until his mother went into the room.

Song Wan and Jiang Shan, of course, also knew about this news.

I was quite worried about Jiang Mian's mood, so I rushed back, thinking that I should tell Jiang Mian not to look at her phone or go online today.

To his surprise, as soon as he entered the room, he saw Jiang Mian staring blankly at her phone screen.

"Mianmian," Song Wan called softly, her voice already showing concern.

Her mother's voice brought Jiang Mian back to her senses. "Hmm?"

As Song Wan walked up, she saw the image on Jiang Mian's phone screen, which was showing a photo of Lu Bozhou and Xu Yawei.

Song Wan reached out and took the phone, covering the screen. "Don't look at it, it'll only affect your mood."

Song Wan frowned as she spoke of this. From some of Jiang Yu's words, she had learned that Lu Bozhou seemed to have some kind of hidden troubles.

Song Wan had long heard about the chaotic internal conflicts within the Lu family.

Regardless of her reasons, Song Wan only felt sorry for her daughter and thought that Lu Bozhou's actions were rather unethical.

They just got divorced, and now they're officially engaged. It's really...

My daughter lived in Xu Yawei's shadow for several years before, and even after being reborn, she still couldn't escape it.

Song Wan looked worried, but Jiang Mian's expression didn't show much sadness; rather, it was a numb indifference, as if a knife that had been hanging over her head had finally fallen.

There was even a sense of relief and composure in him.

To Song Wan's surprise, she asked, "Are you alright?"

Jiang Mian shook her head. "I'm fine." She paused, then added, "I'm just a little worried about the child. Xiao Shitou is very sensitive; if he sees this news..."

Jiang Mian wasn't saying this to reassure her mother. When she first saw the news, those emotions she felt only briefly appeared in her mind.

Then my worries about my child took over.

Song Wan sighed softly, "Try to coax them slowly. Children's emotions come and go quickly."

Unexpectedly, Lu Chaochi had quite a temper. No one knew how he found out about it at kindergarten, but he went back to his room in a huff after school.

Jiang Mian prepared the meal for him, washed her hands, and went to the child's room.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard Lu Chaochi's voice coming from inside.

The child's voice didn't sound sad or aggrieved; it carried a calmness beyond his years.

It was easy to hear his displeasure in his tone, but he controlled it very well, displaying a restraint far beyond his years.

I don't know how long the call lasted or what they talked about.

In short, when Jiang Mian arrived at the door, she overheard, "...Of course I will take good care of Mom. I don't understand you, maybe because I'm a child. The things I can understand are different from those of adults."

Jiang Mian heard Lu Chaochi pause for a moment after saying something on the other end, then continue, "Whether I understand or not is not important. You are my father, and that's an unchangeable fact. But whether Mom can understand you is another matter. Whether she is your wife or not is not an unchangeable fact."

Regardless of Lu Bozhou's expression and feelings upon hearing his son's words.

Hearing this, Jiang Mian felt both heartache and relief. She felt heartache for her son, who had to avoid her when making this call, probably because he was considerate of her feelings.

What's comforting is that Lu Chaochi has always been very clear-headed about his parents' affairs. She doesn't need to offer much advice or comfort. He has always been very clear that no matter what the relationship between his parents is like, it won't affect their feelings for him.

Jiang Mian had been very worried about this, and was always thinking about how to comfort the child and how to tell the child the truth.

But she didn't need to worry at all; Lu Chaochi handled things very well on his own.

So Jiang Mian didn't go in. She stood at the door for a while until the father and son inside finished their phone call.

Half a minute later, she gently knocked on the door, "Baby, dinner's ready."

"I'm here!" Lu Chaochi's voice had quickly regained its composure, no longer as calm as when he was talking to Lu Bozhou earlier.

She's noticeably more lively now.

Song Wan was quite worried about the child's emotions, so she subtly inquired about it during the meal.

"Xiao Chi...didn't check his phone today, did he?"

Because Lu Chaochi is particularly talented with computers and is quite precocious, they have never really restricted his use of mobile phones and computers.

He schedules his time each day to play on his phone and computer for about one or two hours.

Sensing the probing in his grandmother's words, Lu Chaochi raised his little face. Rather than letting his grandmother worry so cautiously, he decided to be direct.

Lu Chaochi said, "I saw the news about my father."

Song Wan paused for a moment, then glanced silently at Jiang Mian, who nodded gently to reassure her.

Song Wan's expression gradually softened.

Jiang Shan was still somewhat angry, his voice tense and stern, "That's really going too far! They clearly have a child, yet they had to make such a big fuss about it...!"

Sensing his grandfather's displeasure, Lu Chaochi, who had been eating earnestly, stopped, wiped his greasy mouth, and said, "Grandpa, don't be angry. You can't just believe everything the news says."

"Huh?" Jiang Shan was taken aback.

As the former head of the Jiang family, Jiang Shan knew that such things were not simply a matter of news reports, but he also understood that the existence of such news indicated that there were indeed some developments.

From the perspective of protecting one's own, it's natural to feel that Lu Bozhou's actions were unethical!

But Jiang Shan never expected that it would be his young grandson who would comfort him, and from such a rational perspective.

Jiang Shan's previously stern expression suddenly faltered, and he burst into laughter. "So you know that these news reports are just rumors?"

Lu Chaochi nodded. "Of course I know, so Grandpa, don't be angry. There's nothing to be angry about."

Perhaps because her son's emotions were so stable, Jiang Mian's emotions also quickly stabilized.

Given the distance between Los Angeles and Los Angeles, it's not easy to find out what's happening there unless you make a special effort to inquire.

Jiang Mian didn't intend to inquire about it, and Jiang Yu and Gong Yan considered her feelings and the fact that she had finally achieved a peaceful and stable life.

Having finally managed to escape entanglement with Lu Bozhou and the Lu family, they wouldn't mention Luocheng to Jiang Mian, and naturally, they wouldn't say a word about Lu Bozhou either.

But just because they don't mention it doesn't mean no one does. After all, she is no longer just Jiang Mian; she is also Jiang Mian, and therefore has Jiang Mian's friends.

Zhan Meng and Jiang Mian have maintained close contact, which is not a problem.

The problem is that Zhan Meng also maintained close contact with Song Xun.
