After that day, Jiang Sui felt a bit downcast for several days.
Little Jiang Qin, of course, couldn't see it.
But Su Qing knew it all too well.
On the day Jiang Chenghua passed away, Jiang Sui remained expressionless as he looked at the request from Jiang Chenghua's assistant.
In the end, for this father and son, who shared a common bloodline, Jiang Sui still managed Jiang Chenghua's funeral.
Because it was kept low-key, there weren't as many people as one might have expected. While there should have been many mourners, there weren't.
Su Qing always stayed by Jiang Sui's side.
"Qing Qing, if Mom was still here, she would have forgiven him long ago. It's because of this that I've never been able to forgive him."
At night, the two of them sat at the balcony inside the canopy. Jiang Sui leaned on Su Qing's lap, a touch of sadness on his face.
Even until the old man passed away, Jiang Sui refused to admit that his stepmother was just a facade.
The brother who had started a business with Jiang Chenghua had passed away in an accident, leaving Jiang Chenghua to care for her. Unexpectedly, the woman's greed led her to create all sorts of falsehoods.
This led Mei's mother to believe Jiang Chenghua was cheating.
So much so that later, when Jiang Chenghua and the woman actually married and had a child, Jiang Sui felt deeply resentful. It wasn't intentional; it was simply a fluke; the woman fell down the stairs and lost the child.
This is how his relationship with Jiang Chenghua deteriorated.
And his stepmother developed mental illness early on, and Jiang Chenghua sent her to a top-tier nursing home.
These past events, whether destined or a twist of fate, are so hilarious.
The Mei family is so deeply attached to love that they simply can't get over it.
Although the burdens of the past had vanished, the emotions that lingered in their hearts had not.
Su Qing pursed her lips, unsure how to comfort Jiang Sui. Her family background was completely different from Jiang Sui.
"Hubby, I've always felt that my greatest fortune is meeting you."
Su Qing rarely called Jiang Sui "hubby," but this time, she addressed him with particular formality.
Jiang Sui tilted his head, looking at Su Qing, feeling a warmth in his heart. He reached out and held Su Qing's fingers.
"Qing Qing, meeting you is my true fortune."
Jiang Sui's eyes sparkled, and Su Qing couldn't help but lower her head to place a gentle kiss between his eyebrows.
Jiang Sui's illness hadn't healed, but he'd learned to control it, so it wasn't a big deal.
As time passed,
They had no more arguments, no more dramatic events.
Perhaps it was because they'd suffered too much in their youth, as people say, after all comes sweetness.
So, over the next few decades, the two of them never argued or argued.
In Jiang Qin's memory, that was also true.
Perhaps the only downside was...
They went on a trip every year, every year.
So, Jiang Qing spent a portion of each year living at either Liu Ranran's or Mei Yeqin's home.
Jiang Qin loved Auntie Ranran's home because they had so many delicious treats, and they also had a sweet little sister named Hu Tiantian, whom Jiang Qin considered the prettiest.
Even prettier than Mianmian.
Furthermore, Jiang Qin had heard Auntie Ranran said she wanted to marry Tiantian to him.
Mianmian, on the other hand, wasn't so good. She seemed to have promised many children that she was their girlfriend.
