To make He Yu regret - Chapter 40

“No, it is still early, what type of furniture do you need…”

“Mrs. Jiang!” Fan Xiuhui was sure and smiled. The woman’s expression changed instantly. She paled sullenly, and took a step back subconsciously.

“I’m not.” Fan Xiuhui rushed over and held her hand affectionately, “Why? You don’t recognize me. I am Fan Xiuhui. I used to work as a nanny in your house.”

The woman’s hand was held tightly. She swept her eyes back and forth several times, and finally remembered her vaguely.

“Aunt Fan?”

“Yes it’s me.” Fan Xiuhui smiled. Mrs. Jiang calmed down, smiled at her, and looked at the young man behind her, “This is, your little boy?”

“Well, do you remember him?” Fan Xiuhui waved and asked He Yu to come over to greet her.

He bowed slightly and said hello politely. 

“Yeah,” the woman’s smile got bigger, and the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes were deeply revealed, “He got so big. Not a little boy anymore. He is so handsome like a movie star.”

Everyone would like their children being praised, but Fan Xiuhui said formally, “Is it? You are exaggerating.”

As children grew up, adults would grow old. Fan Xiuhui remembered that the former Mrs. Jiang was a well-known beauty, but the years didn’t favor her, allowing wrinkles to climb on her face indiscriminately. She had lost a lot of weight. Her cheeks and eye sockets were sunken, and her complexion was dark and yellow. The hair was no longer shiny as it was when she was young. It was combed back and dried like a broom.

The biggest damage to her temperament was the salesperson shirt on her body, with the big “Rongmei Furniture” printed on her chest. Seeing that, Fan Xiuhui remembered the purpose of their trip.

“Mrs. Jiang, why aren’t you in a restaurant but in a furniture shop?” She thought it was their shop. With the financial resources of the Jiang family, how could she be the staff of that place. But how could such a middle and low-end furniture store belong to the Jiang family.

“This shop is not ours,” Xu Meiyin lips twitched. Her smile hid so much pain, “I’m here to work.”

“Work!” Fan Xiuhui was quite surprised.

“Well, our restaurant had already closed down.”

“Where is Boss Jiang?”

“He also works.”

There was a lifeless gray in Xu Meiyin’s eyes. The atmosphere in the store fell into a weird silence, and the three of them were relatively speechless.

“No wonder, I couldn’t contact you when I came to the city…”

Fan Xiuhui’s voice became very small. Suddenly, she thought, “Where is Miss Zhen? When I dropped He Yu at school when it started, I seemed to have seen you at the gate of his school. Is she attending the private high school in the city center?”

Xu Meiyin nodded, “Yes, she goes to the best high school in the city.”

The frozen atmosphere finally found a breakthrough to ease. Fan Xiuhui breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Yes, the teaching and resources of that high school are all top-notch. I used a lot of effort to get He Yu to study in the city just to let him go to school there.”

“That high school not only requires talent, but also has requirements for good grades,” Xu Meiyin looked at He Yu and said, “Your grades must be good, right?”

Fan Xiuhui waved her hand to deny, “Hey, he doesn’t pay much attention to studying, he likes to draw.”

His mother was also telling the truth. He Yu didn’t study very much, and his grades weren’t enough to beat a lot of good children who study hard. His strength was drawing. Xu Meiyin recalled He Yu’s childhood.

“Ah, yes! He loved to draw when he was a little doll. He always had a box of markers all day and drew quietly. Once Mingzhen broke his marker and he cried so badly. Jiang Yuan and I were so frightened.”

The two adults looked at each other and smiled. The past was vivid, and they were both deeply impressed by it.

“You have to see Mingzhen.” Xu Meiyin clapped her hands, “You are alumni from the same school. When you left when you were a child, she cried for a long time. She would be happy to see you.”

He Yu didn’t talk. It wasn’t easy to tell her that Jiang Mingzhen actually saw him in school, and she hadn’t even recognized him.
