Jiang Yan didn't lie this time, she went to Jiang's mother's house two days later.When Xu Zhihui received her daughter's call, she couldn't believe it.In the car that day, Jiang Yan said that she was really happy when she went home next time she was free, but when she got home and calmed down, she felt that it might just be a perfunctory remark.

Jiang Yan knew that after this bankruptcy, Jiang Chaohan was almost unable to recover, and he seemed to have disappeared for a while after that, probably to avoid debts.Jiang's mother has been separated from him for many years, and she has not enjoyed much glory and wealth, so she should not be implicated inexplicably.

Since answering Jiang Yan's phone call, Xu Zhihui has been busy.I bought a lot of Jiang Yan's favorite food, but when her daughter actually entered the house, she was so excited that she didn't know what to bring out first.

Jiang's mother had been busy for a while, Jiang Yan saw that she kept turning around and seemed worried that the food and drink prepared were not enough, so he asked her to sit down first.

"Don't worry about it, I'm neither hungry nor thirsty."

Xu Zhihui sat across from Jiang Yan with a little embarrassment, still looking at her with caring eyes: "I forgot, you are an adult now. You used to love to eat non-stop, but now your habits have changed."

What Jiang's mother said was before she moved out of Jiang's house, and it has been many years in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Yan came this time to persuade her to divorce.She had thought about it for a long time in the past two days, and the day when Jiang's family went bankrupt was approaching. She couldn't bear to see Jiang's mother still kept in the dark, and finally decided to come.

"You also agree to my divorce from your father?"

Xu Zhihui was very surprised when she heard Jiang Yan's intention. In the past, they had a relationship estrangement, but Jiang Yan always hoped that her parents could spend more time with her.Later, she couldn't bear to move out, and Jiang Yan was always unwilling to accept the reality.

Why did you take the initiative to persuade her to divorce now?

Jiang's mother couldn't help but wonder if Jiang Yan's own married life was not going well, so she really realized that the twisted melon is not sweet?In this way, she didn't care about her own affairs, but worried about her daughter.

"Yan Yan, why do you think of talking about this? You always hoped that I would change my mind before, but today you seem to hope that I will complete the formalities as soon as possible. Did you encounter something unhappy?"

Jiang Yan didn't know what she was thinking, and was thinking about how to tell her Jiang's situation tactfully.

"Since you and Dad have been separated for so many years, there's no point in procrastinating. It's better to end it earlier, so as to save you from troublesome financial entanglements in the future."

This is indeed the case. Divorce is the best ending for two people who have no room for change.In the past, because of Jiang Yan, Jiang's mother had never been able to calm down, but this time it was Jiang Yan who came to persuade her.

"It would be great if you could be considerate. I actually wanted to end this tormenting marriage for a long time." Xu Zhihui smiled bitterly, "I used to worry that you were still young and would have psychological shadows, but later you were going to get married. , I’m afraid it will make you lose confidence in marriage.”

Jiang Yan didn't speak. It's always hard for children to fully understand the mother's good intentions.

"I'm living a good life now, and I fully understand your choice, so don't embarrass yourself because of my feelings. The company and family are not in good shape now, and it will be even worse if it drags you down."

Xu Zhihui's face was full of relief, she never expected her daughter to take the initiative to come to the door today, not only changed her previous attitude, but also said such caring words.The loneliness and sadness of these years were released at once.

After she moved out of Jiang's house, she also struggled and hesitated. She missed her children and was full of worries about her future life.But if she continued to stay in the suffocating marriage, she might not even have the courage to persist in living, so she could only grit her teeth and be a cruel mother.

She didn't choose to compromise, because she saw through the ending.

"Okay, then I'll go find him tomorrow."

That night, Jiang's mother insisted on staying with Jiang Yan for dinner. Seeing that she was excited for a long time, Jiang Yan couldn't bear her disappointment, so she agreed.

She called Xia Yining and told her that she would have dinner at her mother's house tonight before going back.As soon as she hung up the phone and turned around, she saw Mother Jiang coming out of the kitchen with a smile on her face.

Jiang Yan stepped forward to help, but Jiang's mother avoided letting her intervene: "How can you do these things, don't burn your hands, just wait and eat with peace of mind."

In front of mother, no matter how old a child is, he will always be a child.

Jiang's mother cooked a few of Jiang Yan's favorite home-cooked dishes, but she was a little nervous when she sat down: "I haven't made it for a long time, and I don't know if you still like this taste."

Jiang Yan picked up the chopsticks and tasted it, then nodded with satisfaction: "It's still as delicious as before."

Compared with the craftsmanship of the old shop or the level of the chef of the Xia family, it actually seems very ordinary, and it may not even be comparable to Jiang Yan's.But Jiang Yan will definitely give full marks to this inquiry with special expectations.

The two chatted while eating at the dinner table, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

"You usually go home to have dinner with Xiao Xia at night?"

"Most of the time."

Mother Jiang nodded reassuringly: "This is very good, it means that your thoughts are all at home."

Jiang Yan remembered how Xia Yining was busy with work every day after eating, and said with a smile, "Probably because there are things she misses at home."

"Then do you usually cook for her?"

Mother Jiang also watched the previous variety show, and she didn't miss the barrage and some comments on the Internet.Some people laughed that Jiang Yan could only please Xia Yining by cooking at home, and ridiculed her for having no other abilities.

"There is a cook at home, and I rarely cook."

Only then did Mother Jiang show more smiles: "That's good, that's good."

Although she hopes that her daughter's marriage will be smooth, which mother would like her children to serve others.

Jiang Yan saw her worrying and relieved for a while, and guessed what she was thinking, so he comforted her and said, "We have a good relationship."

Jiang's mother has watched variety shows. As someone who has experienced it, she always felt that her daughter was a little weird when she got along with Xia Yining, but it was difficult to judge through the screen.

"When you have a chance in the future, you can bring her here for a while. You have been married for so long, and you haven't talked to her properly."

Unlike Jiang Chaohan who wanted to see Xia Yining, Jiang Yan knew that she just wanted to know more about her life.

But Xia Yining may not be free: "She has a very important project recently, and I will look for another opportunity after I finish my work."

After dinner, Mother Jiang stuffed Jiang Yan with a pot of soup and asked her to take it back for Xia Yining to taste.

"Although it's not as good as Xia's chef, it's still my heart. Didn't you say that she's been working late lately, so it's just for her to make up for it?"

**

Xia Yining drank the soup that Jiang Yan brought back. It was indeed not as good as the old shop's standard, but it was quite delicious.Jiang Yan sat next to her and told her the purpose of going to Mother Jiang's house today.

"You advised your mother to divorce?"

Jiang Yan's face was even calmer than Xia Yining's: "They have been separated for a long time."

In fact, everyone knows this kind of thing, but no one will say it in front of the Jiang family because of face.Even on the day of the wedding banquet, when Jiang Chaohan and Xu Zhihui had a rare fit, everyone pretended not to know about them and congratulated them in unison.

Xia Yining didn't speak any more, and it wasn't her turn to comment on the feelings of her nominal father-in-law and mother-in-law.She just felt that Jiang Yan had changed one after another recently, sometimes sober and rational that even she had to look at him with admiration.

But this time Xia Yining completely believed in Jiang Yan's attitude of staying out of the matter, otherwise she wouldn't have to try her best to persuade Mother Jiang to divorce at this juncture.It seemed that she was indeed wrongly blamed on the night of the wedding banquet, Xia Yining slowed down the speed of drinking soup, thinking whether he should find a chance to explain.

But the topic of that day, it was very abrupt to bring it up again for no reason, Xia Yining decided to make up for it in other ways.

When eating breakfast the next day, Jiang Yan had an extra card in front of him.

"You are..."

Xia Yining's expression was a bit unnatural, but his action of sending the card was firm: "There is not much money, you should keep it as a spare."

Giving her money suddenly for no reason, and it didn't seem to be a condition in the agreement, Jiang Yan was very puzzled by Xia Yining's actions.

"I have my own money."

Jiang Yan has carefully calculated in the past few days. In addition to the wealth management purchased before and the current balance on the card, plus the salary paid by the company for the past few months, she is indeed not poor.

Besides, she has no extra expenses now. After the take-out platform of the old store was launched, the transaction volume has been growing steadily, which is also a considerable income.Calculated in this way, she can only make ends meet, and she has money in the account every day.

Xia Yining was afraid that speaking too directly would hurt her self-esteem.After all, according to Jiang Yan's past spending habits, if the Jiang family really went bankrupt, she might not be able to hold on for too long.

But this card, more importantly, wanted to make up for the misunderstanding on the night of the wedding banquet, but Xia Yining couldn't say it.

"Keep it as a spare, just in case. If you really don't need it in the future, just return it to me."

Seeing that she insisted on giving it, Jiang Yan had no choice but to temporarily accept it.She checked the account and found that 500 million was deposited on it.

**

As expected, the Jiang family did not last long, and soon after announcing that several debts were due and unable to repay, they officially admitted that they had started bankruptcy proceedings.Jiang Yan never changed his decision, nor did he see Jiang Chaohan again.

Jiang Chaohan and Jiang Daming were so overwhelmed by the company's affairs that they had no time to take care of Jiang Yan.Seeing that she was determined not to help, I hated her so much, but there was nothing I could do.

But the Xia family has a subtle attitude towards this. When they go back to the mansion for dinner on weekends, not only Xia Chenxu and Yan Zi come over, but also Xia Chenyong and his wife, whom they don't often meet.

Xia Langyan looked at Jiang Yan for a while, but didn't mention Jiang's matter. Everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding and avoided this topic.After a meal, the silence was too abnormal.

Usually, although everyone doesn't talk much, they will talk about some daily things more or less, but today, the occasional topics of discussion all bypass Jiang Yan.Even if it was related to Xia Yining, she was only mentioned, as if Jiang Yan didn't exist.

This change was more obvious after the meal. Normally, Xia Chenxu would chat with Jiang Yan symbolically about the company, or talk about Xia Yining's childhood fun, maintaining a superficial intimacy.

But today, he hardly took the initiative to talk to Jiang Yan.On the other hand, her appearance was similar to the past, but because the atmosphere was too weird, she didn't find a chance to say a few more words.

Xia Langyan and his wife are fine, they didn't say much except for a few more instructions than usual, hoping that Jiang Yan and Xia Yining would take care of each other.But Jiang Yan still felt a little strange, for example, Xia Chenyong seemed to be looking at her all day long.

But when she looked back, the other party looked away again, as if it was just her illusion.

Back home, Jiang Yan kept thinking about Xia Chenyong, but didn't notice that Xia Yining was looking at her.

"Don't worry about what happened today."

Jiang Yan came back to his senses: "Huh?"

Xia Yining was naturally aware of today's change, but she couldn't say it clearly.

Jiang Yan reacted instantly and didn't care too much: "I won't take it to heart."

Jiang Yan really didn't care, after all, she didn't need to have in-depth contact with these people.The business of the old store is getting more and more prosperous, and her previous plan is becoming more and more mature. Naturally, she should focus most of her energy on how to increase the sales of the old store.

What excites her the most is that Boss Ding wants to teach her how to make noodles, which is a windfall.She enjoys this process very much, it can make people concentrate, sink their minds and fully immerse themselves in the production process.

She is fascinated by the sense of achievement of creating an amazing and satisfying delicacy from scratch, with her own hands.And Jiang Yan's talent in cooking has attracted frequent praise from the bosses.

**

Xia Chenxu forbade Yan Zi to go to Jiang Yan in private, so the two almost quarreled.

"Everyone is a family, why do you suddenly have to draw a clear line?"

Xia Chenxu looked cold and said emphatically, "The Jiang family is bankrupt, what do you expect her to do for you?"

Yan Zi's impression of Jiang Yan has improved a lot since Jiang Yan took the first place in the competition for her last time.

"I didn't expect to gain anything from her. We are all relatives, so what's wrong with walking around and talking?"

Xia Chenxu had eyes that saw through her: "If you really like eating the noodles she cooks, I'll ask the housekeeper to invite another chef back."

Yan Zi does not forget Jiang Yan's craftsmanship, but these are two different things, okay?

"Even if the Jiang family goes bankrupt, she is still Ningning's wife, and she is still a member of the Xia family. You are so alienated from your eldest brother, are you afraid that your second uncle and Ningning will be angry?"

Xia Chenxu had been on the sidelines in secret before, and Jiang Daming went to Xia Chenyong several times, but he was also very clear about Jiang's situation.

Now that the dust has settled, Jiang Yan has completely lost his backing, and he really can't even match his appearance.

"If she doesn't serve Ning Ning well, I'm afraid she won't be able to stay in this family for long. Don't think that everything will be fine once you get married, Ning Ning is such an excellent person, people who like her are always lining up."

Yan Zi heard something was wrong, but Xia Chenxu didn't want to talk about this topic anymore.
