Chapter 2014: Extra: A Brand New Life 129 Chapter 2014: Extra: A Brand New Life 129 “…He’s always reluctant to give any child support, and if Yao Yao goes to her ex-husband’s house, she definitely won’t have a good life, so I agreed to your Aunt Mo, to take care of her. After your Aunt Mo passes away, I’ll bring her to our house. When you have the time, come back home and see her. It’s like you have another sister, okay?”

Zhou Ping and his family are all from City A, but now they all live in City S. The Zhou family’s company expanded to City S, so even though Zhou Ping now manages the family business, he still resides in City S and rarely returns to City A.

Zhou Ping: “What’s there to agree or disagree with? Mom, you decide, it’s fine. But have you talked to dad and sister about this?”

“I’ve talked to them, and they have no objections.”

“Then it’s settled.” After a pause, he added, “I’ll find some time to visit Aunt Mo too.”

“Then you’d better come back soon to see her. She doesn’t have many days left.” As she said this, Mrs. Zhou’s voice choked, and she was obviously crying again.

“Okay, I’ll sort things out at the company tomorrow, and then I’ll be back to City A.” Then, Zhou Ping consoled, “Mom, don’t cry. You’re still at the hospital taking care of Aunt Mo, right? If she sees you crying again, she’ll feel bad too. This is how things are; we can only let her go peacefully.”

“Mm.” Mrs. Zhou sniffled and wiped away her tears.

Even though Jiang Yue’s team had made quite a few breakthroughs in cancer research, including stomach cancer, they hadn’t yet fully developed a cure-all drug or method. It was estimated to take at least several more years. Xue Yan, despite being able to treat many diseases, felt powerless in face of such an advanced stage … Thus, at this moment, neither Jiang Yue nor Xue Yan could offer any helpful words.

Since they had agreed with Mr. Xue to leave after dinner, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan went back home.

It was just after nine o’clock when they arrived home. Mr. Xue hadn’t gone upstairs yet but he had already taken a bath and was in his pajamas.

If it was a phone call, Mr. Xue wouldn’t feel so embarrassed, but now that his son and daughter-in-law had returned, aside from the joy he couldn’t hide, there was an added sense of awkwardness.

He cleared his throat before saying, “Please, have a seat.”

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan took off their trench coats and hung them up before sitting down on the sofa.

Only after Xue Yan asked several times did Mr. Xue hem and haw, looking quite embarrassed as he said, “You two know I’m at that age where I don’t lack anything. You’re both busy, and when I come home, apart from the maids who clean and the drivers and bodyguards, I have no one to talk to all the time. But a few days ago, I met a female colleague from the company where I worked before I started my own business. She also has a child, younger than you, in the second year of high school. Originally, it seems she had another child before this one but lost it due to an unfortunate miscarriage. It took her a long time to get pregnant with this child. Her husband has been gone for several years too, died in a car accident, hit by a drunk driver in his truck. Back in the day at the company, I had no particular feelings for her, but meeting her now, perhaps it’s because of our age, we’ve had quite good conversations. I’ve started to feel something for her, and if you guys agree, I might pursue her and see how it goes.”

Jiang Yue knew that Mr. Xue wasn’t actually asking her, but Xue Yan.

After all, in his eyes, she was just the daughter-in-law; Xue Yan was his son.

She and Xue Yan couldn’t possibly tell him that Xue Yan actually wasn’t his son, that his real son had passed away during the summer before the start of his third year of high school.
