After rebirth, she first killed the book thief, and she was busy writing articles to save people

"Sister Shanjin is too unconfident, isn't she? Xiaole will definitely follow her."

Even without the rebirth buff, Jiang Baige is very confident that Xiaole will choose his mother.

However, Jian Shanjin is a player in the game after all, so it is normal for him to occasionally fail to see the situation clearly.

Wen Mian also said: "She is worried and confused... Fortunately, Xiaole is about to turn 18 and can choose who to be with. It can be said that her forbearance over the years has not been in vain..."

"What about the second thing?"

"The second thing is related to the age of eighteen." Wen Mian found a mobile phone holder, stuck the phone in it, freed his hands, and continued, "Sister Shanjin is worried about Xiaole's future."

Although Xiaole is not yet eighteen - her birthday is in autumn - her life experience is already far richer than that of her peers.

Whether it was the seemingly harmonious marriage between her mother and father, her father's attempts to sow discord between her and her mother, or her severe depression, going abroad, suicide, and taking a leave of absence from school to recuperate after returning home, for most children it would be too much to experience one or two of these things, but she managed to get through them all.

To say that she has a strong vitality is indeed strong enough.

But no matter how tenacious a child is, he is still a child.

She is about to turn eighteen. She did not finish high school abroad. If she does not continue her studies in China, she will only have a junior high school education.

Jian Shanjin can protect her now, but what will happen when Jian Shanjin can no longer work? Maybe she can still ensure Xiaole's life, but she can't help but worry.

If you ask Jian Shanjin what's really in her heart, after going through so much, she no longer has any other expectations for Xiaole, she just hopes that she can be happy and live a good life.

But even so, she still has to discuss the future with Xiaole.

This is not something they can get away with.

What's more, Jian Shanjin has suffered enough from escaping.

Now she would rather face the problem. Initial pain is better than long-term pain, and better than the regret of complete loss.

"The problem is, she doesn't know how to tell Xiaole."

Wen Mian sighed, as if she was Jian Shanjin at the moment: "She was afraid that Xiaole would think too much, thinking that she had not completed high school and might not be able to take the college entrance examination on time, disappointing her mother, and then getting into a dead end again..."

Facing Xiaole, a child with a "criminal record", it's not surprising that Jian Shanjin would think this way, but...

"I remember you told me that they went to see a psychiatrist together. How come they still..."

"Because that's the professional opinion of the psychiatrist."

Ever since Mou Zhi helped Jian Shanjin and Xiaole to ease their relationship, under the guidance of Mou Zhi and Jian Shanjin, Xiaole also agreed to meet with a psychologist regularly with Jian Shanjin.

But the two talked separately.

Considering that Mou Zhi and Xiao Le had established trust first, and in order to ensure that this trust would not be destroyed, Jian Shanjin found another psychologist, who was Mou Zhi's colleague.

"So what did Muzhi say?"

Wen Mian shrugged in the video: "Out of professional ethics, Mou Zhi decided not to provide any professional advice."

That would be a bit difficult.

Jiang Baige asked again: "Although Mu Zhi cannot give Sister Shan Jin advice, this matter is related to Xiao Le after all. Can she ask Xiao Le for his opinion?"

“Oh, it’s true!”

Wen Mian got the support of his think tank and was about to hang up the video to find Mou Zhi, but was stopped by Jiang Baige again.

"Don't be impatient! There is one more thing... Xiaole is a child after all, with a simple mind. What she likes and what she is interested in will definitely leave traces in life. You can remind Sister Shanjin to pay more attention to the child when cleaning the room, and maybe you will gain something. Of course, don't invade the child's privacy, otherwise the relationship that has been eased with great difficulty will become tense again..."

Less than two days after this conversation, Wen Mian's feedback came.

"Jiang Xiaobai, you are truly amazing!"

This opening statement was quite high, Jiang Baige quickly asked: "What do you mean?"

"After you told me, I asked Sister Shan Jin to pay more attention to the child... She was more detailed than we said, and she contacted her former teachers, classmates, and even her roommate who studied abroad. Do you know what happened?"

"How come you're still keeping me in suspense? Just tell me now!"

"She discovered that Xiaole would draw when she was unhappy, doubting herself, unable to sleep at night, or anxious... She said that she could feel a kind of pain and a cry for help from those paintings... She collected those paintings and asked a painter she had worked with before to show them to her. Guess what happened?"

This time, Wen Mian didn't wait for Jiang Baige to ask, but spoke directly.

"The other party actually said that Xiaole has a talent for painting, but lacks systematic training... If he can start learning from scratch, he may have good attainments in painting in the future. But Xiaole is a bit old now, and it may be very difficult if he wants to start..."

What this means is that Xiaole may not be able to go to college "on time" like her peers, and may even have to wait several years.

"Coincidentally, Mu Zhi also asked Xiao Le about the things I mentioned to her before. You really got it right. Xiao Le has actually been thinking about her future... She actually likes painting very much because it is an outlet for her to express herself, but she is worried that Sister Shan Jin will not like it."

Wen Mian had told Jiang Baige before that Jian Shanjin was a well-known academic master when he was in school, which had caused Xiaole a lot of pressure in the past.

Because she didn't want to be a "stain" on her mother's perfect life.

Sometimes things in the world are just so outrageous——

A child who would be considered a bad and ungrateful child based solely on the clue that "your mother worked hard to earn money to send you to study abroad, but you committed suicide" is actually so sensible that it makes everyone feel distressed.

After learning all this, Jian Shanjin immediately made a decision: "Since painting makes her happy, no matter how many years or how much money it takes to see the results, I will support her because I believe in her!"

When Wen Mian recounted this, he seemed to be possessed by Jian Shanjin and became extremely excited and agitated.

Jiang Baige was also infected by this perfection, and even when she answered Lin Xingran's call, there was still a hint of excitement in her tone.

Lin Xingran casually asked, "What good things have happened to you? Why are you so happy?" Jiang Baige then told her everything that had happened between her and Wen Mian before, making her face flush and her mouth dry.

After drinking half a glass of water, she remembered to ask Lin Xingran: "By the way, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Of course I came to you to give you a double blessing."

"Double happiness?"

"Mianmian's matter is the first joy. My matter is the second joy."

Unexpectedly, these two people kept the secret today. Jiang Baige had no choice but to urge Lin Xingran to report the good news as soon as possible.

"Do you still remember the book that our 'Women's Book Room' published last year?" Lin Xingran cleared his throat. "Last year, the offline book signing event was not held due to the epidemic. Now... they are preparing to restart it!"
