"Okay, in the new year, he doesn't want us to dwell on the past."
In the journey of life, they briefly welcomed Xu Qingcan, and now it was time to say their final goodbyes.
They still need to keep moving forward, and one day they will meet again.
Su Man believed it, and everyone believed it.
On the day Xu Benben was sent away, Su Man cried again. Xu Benben pointed at her and laughed, "Are you really getting old? Why do you cry all the time? It's not like I won't come back. I'm crying like this."
Yes, it makes me so scared."
A slap was delivered to Xu Benben's back.
Zhou Xun came back after answering the phone and saw Su Man's eyes were red. Xu Benben immediately drew a clear line, "This has nothing to do with me."
He ran away without looking back.
"Benben is gone like this. I wonder why I miss him." Su Man suddenly felt a little emotional.
After all, he has been her little apprentice for almost a year, and now he is able to stand on his own through experience.
"He should always expand his wings, instead of living under your protection all the time."
"Xu Benben didn't, he earned everything now by himself." Su Man frowned slightly and retorted softly.
"Today, dad said that we should go back for dinner and show him some respect, eh?"
"OK."
It was only the beginning of the year, and Su Man had nothing major to do. Several important cooperation projects had been assigned to the children below, and she was happy and relaxed.
The Zhou family's old house was not in the suburbs, but in a group of villas near the city. They arrived soon.
Zeng Qingrong was knitting a scarf, and Zhou Qian rushed over with a smile, "Mom, you are too hardworking. You are knitting a scarf at the end of the year at the beginning of the new year?"
"...This is this year." Zeng Qingrong was a little embarrassed.
Zhou Qian touched her nose. She really had inherited her mother's good skills and was very clumsy in everything she did.
"Manman Club, let Manman teach us." Zhou Qian sat down next to Zeng Qingrong and muttered to her for a long time.
Zeng Qingrong looked at the two children and said, "No wonder you two have lost weight."
She greeted Su Man, "Manman, come here. Auntie hasn't seen you for a long time."
The scarf was quickly placed on Su Man's legs. "Look at how this needle should go. I've tried it over many times, but I can't knit it right here every time."
Zhou Xun also wanted to come over, and Zeng Qingrong nodded upstairs, "Your dad is waiting for you in the study."
Su Man glanced at Zhou Xun, who gave him a reassuring look and went upstairs.
She also gathered her strength and began to teach Zeng Qingrong how to weave a scarf.
Everything was quiet in the study. Zhou Chengtao was wearing glasses and reading a newspaper. When he saw movement at the door, he pushed the newspaper towards Zhou Xun.
In this era, everyone receives news from new media, and Zhou Chengtao stubbornly obtains news from newspapers.
This was news from the past two weeks. It was about Xu Qingcan who fell from a building. Everything was mosaic, but Zhou Chengtao heard some rumors from Qin Wan, "Is this your friend?"
"Yes." Zhou Xun also spotted Su Man's figure from the mosaic on the side. Her face was covered, but he could imagine her collapse.
"Did you quarrel with Ms. Qin because of this?" Zhou Chengtao took the newspaper back, "That's your mother after all. You are so old, so don't quarrel with your mother."
"Dad, if you have something to say, you might as well say it." Zhou Xun looked at his father, "If Aunt Zeng knew that you and Ms. Qin were so close, would she be unhappy?"
Zhou Chengtao frowned, folded the newspapers one by one, and put them in the drawer.
After gathering everything, he spoke, "Your mother and I are different. You can fall in love with Manman, and I won't hinder you on this."
"But you won't agree to our marriage." Zhou Xun picked up the second half of his words.
Zhou Chengtao nodded, with a father's love in his eyes, but this kind of love was too twisted, which Zhou Xun couldn't accept, "Manman is not suitable for you, her family is too complicated, and she is not a good match for you."
Zhou Chengtao opened another drawer, and inside there were many photos of girls of the right age, all with smiles like flowers. Placed like this in a man's home, they looked like an object, a marriage object.
He said he would not stand in the way of Zhou Xun's love, but secretly he kept searching for a marriage partner for Zhou Xun.
Zhou Xun refused. As expected, he was not in a hurry to let his son go on a blind date.
At least now, Zhou Xun's heart is with Su Man.
It's not that Zhou Chengtao doesn't like Su Man, it's just that his love is too superficial.
He agreed with Su Man getting out of a failed marriage without looking back, and felt sorry for her friend's sudden death, but he would be a little reluctant if such a girl got involved with his son.
The father and son did not quarrel. Before Zhou Xun left, Zhou Chengtao said: "You will know one day that Qin Wan and I will not harm you."
"If I listen to you, I will harm myself."
He went downstairs calmly, and no one could tell what he had said to Zhou Chengtao in the study before.
Su Man was still teaching Zeng Qingrong, but Zeng Qingrong really couldn't understand it, and even Zhou Qian looked a little anxious.
Seeing the old man walking down with a bad look, she threw her scarf aside angrily and said, "No more."
This man might have been offended by his son again, and she could more or less guess the reason.
"Mom, why did you give up halfway?" Zhou Qian felt ashamed of Zeng Qingrong's behavior.
"It will be faster to buy one now." She was too lazy to knit a scarf for the old man.
When it was time for dinner, everyone sat down, and the delicious aroma of various dishes was crowded on the table. The smell of oil was too strong, and Su Man's stomach was a little churning.
After Xu Qingcan passed away, she had irregular eating habits and often felt nauseated by food.
At this moment, she couldn't bear it anymore and retched a little.
In an instant, several pairs of eyes on the table were all looking at her. Zhou Xun and Zhou Qian knew the reason, but it was Zeng Qingrong whose eyes turned to her and then to Zhou Xun.
Zhou Xun held Su Man's hand and asked in a low voice: "Are you feeling uncomfortable again?"
"My stomach hurts a little." Su Man nodded.
Zeng Qingrong's expression was ambiguous, her eyes moved back and forth between their faces, unable to move her eyes away, and she covered her mouth and snickered, "What's going on? Is there something going on?"
"Hmph." Zhou Chengtao folded his hands and snorted, "How is that possible?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a little regretful. He intentionally or unintentionally revealed that he knew about Su Man's medical treatment.
Zhou Xun's hand froze in his palm, and his nails scratched lightly on his palm.
He also straightened his body, "What's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
"No." Su Man tried her best to suppress the sparkle in her eyes.
Zeng Qingrong slapped Zhou Chengtao's leg, "You are so confused, aren't you? Why are you talking nonsense at the dinner table before you have even drank?"
Zhou Chengtao reacted and quickly changed the topic.
That look is so blunt and funny that no one can be fooled.
But Su Man seemed to have been deceived by them, and the table was back to its usual happy mood.
