On Saturday, Jiang Xu let himself sleep until he woke up naturally.

Because I know that the hungover kid next door will definitely not wake up early.

It was not until lunch time that Jiang Nian came downstairs with a depressed look on his face.

"Brother, I didn't say anything weird last night, did I?"

Jiang Nian was upset. He still had the memory of not being completely drunk. At that time, under the influence of alcohol, he expressed his long-standing complaints against the Jiang family.

It doesn't matter if Zhao Nan heard it. He can just give a brief explanation and get away with it.

If Jiang Xu heard it...

Jiang Xu looked up and saw Jiang Nian's guilty and frightened look, and he knew what he was thinking. He calmly served a bowl of soup to Jiang's mother, "No, you just kept calling someone's name."

As for who it is, there is no need for him to point it out.

Jiang Nian subconsciously glanced at Jiang's mother, lowered his head like a quail, and said no more.

After dinner, Jiang Xu used the excuse of having work to deal with and went upstairs to give them space to talk.

Jiang Nian glanced at the dialog box between him and Meng Yang, stood up disappointedly and was about to escape, but was stopped by Jiang's mother.

"Nian Nian, are you in love?"

Jiang Nian was stunned, and then his first reaction was to ask: "Did my brother tell you?"

He looked obviously unhappy, as if he would run upstairs to vent his anger on Jiang Xu as long as Jiang's mother nodded yes.

Jiang's mother shook her head and said, "Mom wants to apologize to you because I noticed that you were not in a good state these two days, so I observed and inquired about your movements. I was very distressed to see Meng Yang hurt you, Nian Nian..."

"So you want me to separate from Meng Yang?"

Jiang Nian interrupted expressionlessly, his hands hanging at his sides clenched tightly.

Jiang's mother was puzzled: "You and Meng Yang are not together. I told you this just because I hope you don't lose yourself when you like someone..."

"What do you mean by losing yourself?" Jiang Nian interrupted again.

What happened in the past two days, Jiang Xu's estrangement, Meng Yang's hot and cold attitude, made Jiang Nian's emotional threshold almost reach its peak. He really needed an outlet to vent all these negative emotions.

And this opening is Jiang's mother.

"Do I have a self now that I am treated as a puppet by you to kill time and give you extra kindness?"

"I obviously want to apply to medical school, and I don't like attending those high-class banquets with you. I don't like clothes and accessories that are so expensive that my classmates tease me that I am a rich second-generation!"

"But I have to listen to you in everything, don't I?"

"Now even if I like someone, I have to be controlled by you guys?"

Jiang Nian's eyes were red, like a stubborn little animal who refused to admit defeat, but at this moment he felt full of strength and courage, because he finally said what he had kept in his heart for many years.

"Nian Nian... what are you talking about?"

Jiang's mother's voice trembled as she looked in disbelief at the child in front of her whom she had carefully raised as her own son.

It was extremely difficult for Jiang Nian to digest what he said. Jiang's mother felt dizzy.

"Mom? What's wrong with you?"

"mom!"

Jiang Nian panicked, and the courage he had just built up was gone. He subconsciously raised his voice to seek help from Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu walked downstairs in two steps at a time. Jiang Nian, who was standing there in a daze without even looking at her, didn't even know to call an ambulance. He picked up Jiang's mother and laid her flat on the sofa.

996 can do a simple scan. Jiang's mother fainted due to the shock. Because Jiang Xu asked her to take medicine before the meal, there was no big problem with her heart.

Sitting in the ambulance, Jiang Nian's face was paler than his fainted mother, and the nurse couldn't help but give him a quick checkup.

Jiang Xu had just finished informing his father on the phone when he felt someone grabbing his arm. He lowered his head to look into Jiang Nian's red eyes.

The original body was very much susceptible to Jiang Nian's tricks. As long as he put on a pitiful look, he would not be able to refuse anything he said.

Jiang Nian had obviously already gotten used to this pattern.

"Brother, I really didn't mean it. It was mom who asked me if I was with Meng Yang and wanted me to break up with him. But you know, I have liked Meng Yang since high school."

"I finally got to Meng Yang's side. I just didn't want to give up, so mom got angry. I didn't mean to do that. Brother, I'm sorry..."

Jiang Xu looked at him steadily, with no emotion in his eyes.

To some extent, what Jiang Nian said was the truth, but he avoided the important issues, omitted the implementation situation that was unfavorable to him, and skillfully expressed it in a way that made it impossible for the original body to blame him.

For some reason, Jiang Nian suddenly felt uneasy when he looked at Jiang Xu's calm eyes.

It was even more disturbing than when he saw Jiang's mother collapse in front of him.

"Brother, you won't be angry with me, right?" Jiang Nian looked at him hopefully.

"Nian Nian," Jiang Xu said, "I won't be angry with you."

Because he never wastes his emotions on insignificant people.

"The doctor just said that Mom was just emotional for a while, so you don't have to worry too much."

Jiang Xu's gentle and soothing tone made Jiang Nian feel relieved.

Just like when he was a child and accidentally broke the vase that Jiang’s father collected, he just hurriedly hid in the closet.

When Jiang Xu found him, he didn't blame him. He was just worried whether he was scared.

Later, when he was so scared that he cried and begged, Jiang Xu admitted that he was the one who broke the vase.

All is well.

He was not blamed, but Jiang Xu was fined one month's pocket money.

Nothing will happen this time. Jiang Xu is here and will protect him.

Jiang Nian comforted himself in his heart, then leaned closer to Jiang Xu and whispered, "But dad will be angry, right? Brother, I'm so afraid that dad will be angry."

"I am here."

Jiang Xu glanced down and noticed that Jiang's mother's hand moved. His eyes flickered slightly, and he turned sideways to cover them. He said, "Niannian, can I ask you a question?"

"Brother, just ask." Jiang Nian put on an extremely well-behaved expression.

"I know a little about you and Meng Yang. If mom has always disapproved of you being together, and if this happens again, will you give up Meng Yang for mom?"

of course not!

Jiang Nian almost blurted out the answer, but fortunately the last bit of rationality grabbed him, but he couldn't give any better answer.

Mom's body is like a time bomb. If he answers this time, wouldn't he be digging a hole for his future self?

But he couldn't say for sure that this wouldn't happen.

So there was only silence and hesitation in answer.

"I... don't know, brother, you are my family, Meng Yang is the person I love, why can't we be together in peace?" Jiang Nian was very puzzled.

Jiang Xu curled his lips slightly, revealing sarcasm.

Lover? Meng Yang would only hurt you before he loved you, and then, because he didn’t want to see you get hurt, he hurt the entire Jiang family as well.

Jiang Nian, have you been in the ivory tower for too long, or are you only willing to accept what you want, even if it is impossible to achieve.

"Nian Nian, does Meng Yang accept your love?"

Jiang Xu pointed out the question that Jiang Nian wanted to avoid, and the hand holding his sleeve instantly pulled away. He nodded, "Okay, I understand. Before this love was established, you chose the latter between us and Meng Yang."

Jiang Nian lowered his head and remained silent.

A teardrop slid down from the corner of Jiang's mother's eye.

Jiang Xu raised his hand and slowly held Jiang's mother's cold hand to give her some warmth.

The system prompt sounded in Jiang Xu's mind——
