I'm strong, I know

The mother and son were silent for a long time.

"Xiao Jiang, your father actually..."

Shen Jing was interrupted by Jiang Neighbor in the middle of her speech.

"Mom, he's not my father." Jiang Lin's cold eyes glanced at the guitar in his hand, "He's not worthy of being a father."

Shen Jing clenched her hands tightly, her knuckles turning white.

She knew that she was not worthy of being a mother either.

She could have chosen not to marry Jiang Tianlin, or she could have chosen to hide from Mr. Jiang so as not to give birth to Jiang Neighbor.

She never made any choices right.

But Jiang Lin was born in her October pregnancy, and Jiang Lin was always the one she loved the most in her heart.

She couldn't bear to see him being looked down upon by Jiang Tianlin, so she wouldn't object to anything he did. She knew that she owed Jiang Neighbor a lot, but no matter how she tried to make up for it, she couldn't undo the damage done to Jiang Neighbor by her native family.

But she regretted marrying Jiang Tianlin, but never regretted giving birth to Jiang Lin.

Jiang Neighbor is her only spiritual support in this world since old man Jiang and her mother passed away.

"Hey, mom can't persuade you, but I can't do anything for you either."

"You don't need to do anything for me, just live your own life well, and I'm not here for anything else, I just want to come back and tell you that I have a boyfriend."

Jiang Lin put away the old guitar, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing, and told Shen Jing that he had a boyfriend.

Hearing the words quietly, a rare smile appeared on his face.

"Ah? I have a partner. That's a good thing. Someday I will bring it back and show my mother..."

As if reacting to something, Shen Jing's bloody face turned pale again instantly.

"You...what did you just say? Boyfriend...or did I hear it wrong?"

"You heard me right, boyfriend."

Jiang Neighbor repeated it.

Shen Jing almost fell off the chair.

"What about Beiyao?"

Jiang Neighbor recalled the name and shook his head, "I haven't contacted her for a long time, and didn't she say that she wants to continue studying? Do you really think that girls should marry when they reach a certain age?"

Shen Jing pinched her arm vigorously, trying in vain to let the pain bring back some reason for herself.

"I didn't mean that," Shen Jing smiled wryly, "You also know Beiyao's family background, your father... Tianlin also said, your..."

"My marriage must be based on a political marriage, right?"

Jiang Lin's cold tone made Shen Jing feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and her whole body was icy cold.

"Heh, you guys are really thoughtful."

Jiang Lin glanced at Shen Jing, "You can choose to have another one, or you can adopt one, but don't try to control my life. Seven years ago, you couldn't control me. Seven years later, you still can't."

Shen Jing suddenly understood why Jiang Neighbor agreed to meet Liu Beiyao last time.

He was just testing a conjecture.

But that conjecture was confirmed.

"You can't pass your father's test." Shen Jing strangled his arm, trying to make his voice sound calmer, "He will never agree to such a thing."

When Jiang Neighbor heard this, he actually laughed.

He stroked the end of his eyes, "Can't pass his test? Absolutely won't agree? The left and right are just another whip. What do I have to be afraid of?"

"Do you have to be so desperate for a man?"

Shen Jing's voice suddenly raised, Jiang Lin looked at her displeased, Shen Jing felt a little out of control, and closed her eyes in a panic.

"Mom, do you think you are qualified to say this to me?"

Jiang Lin took the coat from the sofa and hung it on the hanger beside him, his tone full of hostility.

Shen Jing's expression froze instantly, she knew she was not qualified.

"He's going to beat you to death, you know?"

The quiet tone began to become a little irritable. She knew Jiang Tianlin's methods, and even more knew that Jiang Tianlin would not care for Jiang Neighbor as a father at all.

Jiang Lin didn't speak, but quietly stroked the remaining scar on the inside of his arm. After a long time, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Then let him take my life back, and there will be no debt from now on."

"You are confused!"

Shen Jing stood up anxiously. She rushed to Jiang Neighbor and looked at Jiang Neighbor almost pleadingly, "Jiang'er, would you listen to my mother once? Your father... no matter how much he hates me, you will always be his His own flesh and blood, you just need to be soft with him, and you'll be fine."

Jiang Lin looked at Shen Jing playfully, as if he had heard some funny joke.

"Just take it easy? Ms. Shen Jing, is this the first day you know Jiang Tianlin? Or did you never see him when he hit me?"

Shen Jing closed her eyes, recalling Jiang Neighbor who was beaten bloody by Jiang Tianlin but still straightened her spine and refused to give in.

"Why are you bothering..."

"What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Neighbor closed his eyes and opened them again, slowly stroking the bracelet on his left wrist, and Chen Mo's smiling face floated in front of his eyes.

Shen Jing sighed, "Yeah, why am I bothering? But the world of adults is just like this, and it's not something you can change if you want to."

"This is just an excuse for the weak to make for themselves. You are afraid, you dare not. If you had enough courage, you would have taken me away from the Jiang family long ago, instead of staying in this cage day after day, living Days of suffocation and despair."

Shen Jing was about to speak, but was interrupted by Jiang Lin.

"Don't tell me what you want to repay grandpa for his upbringing. This is not a shackle that shackles you. It is. Grandpa saved his life. It is reasonable for him to repay the favor, but he has done it to the best of his ability. It's your own fault that it's happening today."

"You knew that Jiang Tianlin didn't have any feelings for you, but because of the old man's guilt, you forced him to marry him, and later became pregnant with me. Don't tell me that Jiang Tianlin was willing to let you give birth to me. He must have thought of many ways Come to get rid of me, but you use the old man as a shield time and time again, right? You think his attitude towards you will change after having me, but you are wrong, you are very wrong. "

"Not only has his attitude towards you not changed, but he hates you even more to the bone, and even I suffer this injustice. You ruined his chance to stay with the one he loves forever, but I won't let anyone If someone comes to separate me from the one I love, no one will do."

Sitting quietly on the sofa in frustration, she gave up completely.

She knew that she could not persuade Jiang Neighbor, nor was she qualified to persuade Jiang Neighbor.

Jiang Lin was right, she was a very cowardly person.

She is not worthy of being a daughter-in-law, nor is she worthy of being a mother.

"Yeah, it must be very happy to be with someone who is in love with each other. I was wrong, I was wrong..."

Shen Jing muttered to himself, Jiang Lin watched coldly, without a word of comfort.

The mother and son were in a stalemate, until there was a knock on the door, and Shen Jing got up in a daze.

It was the boy who just said he wanted to eat king crab.

"Auntie, I want to play a game with Brother Jiang."

Shen Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and patted the boy's head, "Jiang Chuo, be obedient, let brother Jiang take a good rest."

Jiang Chuo looked disappointed, he looked in, hoping that Jiang Neighbor would allow him to stay.

To his disappointment, Jiang Lin spoke up.

"Come on, let's play with you."

Jiang Chuo happily grimaced at Shen Jing, and walked sideways into the room adjacent to Jiang.

Shen Jing looked back at Jiang Neighbor who was holding a mobile phone, and finally backed out silently.

Jiang Chuo and Jiang Neighbor are cousins, but separated by a few clans, they can't be considered very close, nor can they be considered distant.

Jiang Neighbor hadn't had much contact with relatives from all walks of life since he was a child, but he just greeted each other face to face, and he didn't get very close to the younger generation in the clan.

But Jiang Chuo was an accident.

After all, this person is like a universal charger, who can play with anyone.

"Brother Jiang, is it true that your relationship with your family is not very good?"

Jiang Chuo happily opened the game, not forgetting to gossip.

"Ah."

Jiang Lin didn't raise his eyes, and went straight into the game.

"I heard from my mother that you got good grades when you were studying, and you can play the guitar. She also said that she had a song you wrote at that time in her collection."

Jiang Chuo chattered like Gatling, but it was rare that Jiang Neighbor didn't feel bothered.

"Really? I forgot."

Seeing that Chen Mo was also online, Jiang Neighbor invited him in as well.

"Yeah, my mother said that she was obsessed at the time... She didn't seem to be able to use this word. She said that you looked like her youth."

Jiang Chuo thought for a long time and came up with such a description.

Jiang Lin smiled, he remembered that Chen Mo had told him that he was his youth and the rest of his life.

"Hey brother, who is this person? Is he powerful?"

Jiang Chuo also found Chen Mo.

"My boyfriend is amazing."

Jiang Neighbor turned on the microphone when Chen Mo came in, and his conversation with Jiang Chuo was recorded in Chen Mo's ears verbatim.

"Male...boyfriend?"

Jiang Chuo's eyes stared like copper bells.

Jiang Neighbor nodded, "Yes."

"I'll go, is this all right?"

Jiang Chuo couldn't believe his ears.

"What, can't you?"

Jiang Lin raised his eyebrows, and Jiang Chuo immediately surrendered.

"That's for sure. As long as Brother Jiang likes you, even if he is a female orangutan, I can't say no to him. Are you right, female orangutan?"

Chen, mother orangutan Mo:? ? ?

Can the two of you be human?

"My mother, you big-headed ghost!"

Chen Mo gritted his molars, trembling with anger.

He originally wanted to make a video call with Jiang Lin while Lao Chen was taking a nap, but he sent a message to Jiang Lin and didn't reply. Made a "orangutan" speech.

"Hey, boy? That can't be a female orangutan, it should be a male baboon."

Jiang Chuo still showed the symptoms of social cow ratio syndrome to the fullest.

"Be careful that he plays you."

Hearing Chen Mo's voice, Jiang Neighbor's heart softened. He stroked Chen Mo's head with his fingertips, and the bad emotions accumulated in his heart gradually dissipated.

Jiang Chuo: ... I admit that I just spoke a little loudly.

"Hi, my name is Jiang Chuo, brother Jiang's cousin. What's your name? Should I call you sister-in-law? Or brother?"

Chen Mo suddenly felt a little regretful, he should listen to the old man and take a nap.

"Are you a tease invited by the monkey?"

Chen Mo changed his usual hero and replaced it with Yaomei Wenji and Xiaosun Bin.

"I was invited by Brother Jiang, so Brother Jiang is a monkey and you are a baboon, which is a good match."

Chen Mo gritted his teeth and sent a message to Jiang Neighbor.

Neighbor Peeping: Do all of you Jiang's family deserve such a beating?

Jiang Lin swiped up, looked at other news, and raised his fingertips slightly.

Captain: He is an exception.

Captain: Xiao Mo, I miss you very much.

Chen Mo, who was holding the phone, suddenly blushed.

The author has something to say:

Chen Mo: You are the orangutan!Your whole family is!

Jiang Neighbor: I am not.

Chen Mo: Except you.
