Zhou Mo trembled, Mayor Zhou's words could be said to have touched her heart.
Jiang Man also reacted immediately, looked at Zhou Mo who was kneeling on the ground, and asked with a tone of disappointment that could not be concealed: "Your father is right, if you didn't ask for something, would you step into this house?"
"I can." After a while, Zhou Mo gave the answer.
"You lied. If you could, you wouldn't have knelt down in front of us and begged us to do something without even taking a sip of the soup! You are so impatient. You are so impatient that you don't even have time to give your parents a meal."
Facing the accusations from his parents, Zhou Mo finally couldn't bear it and said: "I'm impatient, I'm anxious to leave, but that's because Zong Qi needs me more than you do now!!"
Upon hearing this, Mayor Zhou and his wife looked stern.
"You are in good health. I still have a lot of time in the future. I can come back to eat with you, chat, and even live together. But what about Zong Qi? If, like what mom just said, he doesn't have a few years to live, then I will
How long can I stay with him?"
Zhou Mo asked with tears in his eyes.
Her words left Mayor Zhou and his wife speechless.
After a moment, Jiang Man squeezed out a voice: "Do you think that if you accompany him through the second half of his life, he will be grateful to you and give you a status?
Let me tell you, everything you did to him, whether you helped him adopt a daughter or help him start a family, in the end was just nothing!"
"How do you know that I will draw water from a bamboo basket but in vain?" Zhou Mo said without thinking: "Zong Qi is already living with me, and getting married is a matter of time."
"Do you really think he will marry you?" A mocking look appeared on Jiang Man's face.
Being poured cold water on her mother one after another, Zhou Mo could not suppress his anger: "Mom, don't think that Zong Qi will be too weak to marry me after just one operation!"
Jiang Man leaned forward with his upper body, stretched out his hand to hold Zhou Mo's chin, looked at her condescendingly, and said every word as if he was judging: "Zong Qi's body is second, the main reason is that he doesn't want to marry you from the bottom of his heart, you understand.
?"
If the previous words were just small raindrops that hit Zhou Mo insignificantly, then Jiang Man's words were like a bomb, hitting Zhou Mo directly, making her scalp numb, and she asked incredulously:
"How do you know that Zong Qi doesn't want to marry me?"
"Because he told me personally." Jiang Man said after letting go of Zhou Mo's chin, leaning on the chair seat again, looking away.
A ridiculous expression appeared on Zhou Mo's face. She didn't believe a word of her mother's words: "Did Zong Qi tell you personally that he doesn't want to marry me?"
Jiang Man knew she didn't believe it, so he said, "Yes, do you still remember the day I took people to Splendid Jiangnan and wanted to take you home by force?"
"I will never forget it." There was a trace of resentment hidden in Zhou Mo's voice.
Jiang Man pretended not to hear it, and continued: "Later, do you know why I went back? It wasn't because I gave up taking you back, but because Zong Qi told me about his nosebleed alone.
He also promised me that day not to touch you, not to marry you, and not to ask you to observe festivals for him after his death, so I felt soft-hearted and did not take you home by force."
Seeing his daughter's expression of shock, Jiang Man frowned in distress and said, "I didn't force him to say this, but he promised me himself."
After Zhou Mo heard this, he didn't say anything for a long time.
Just kneeling on the ground, like a sculpture.
Upon seeing this, Mayor Zhou immediately winked at Jiang Yan, hoping that his eldest son would intervene to coordinate.
But Jiang Yan didn't know whether he didn't notice his look or was thinking about other things, so he kept sitting in his position and didn't move.
Mayor Zhou glanced at him twice more, but Jiang Yan remained motionless.
For the first time, Mayor Zhou had the idea of kicking his eldest son!
