When the wound was gradually repaired, and after struggling to climb ashore from the quagmire, Zheng Pianqing began to face up to her responsibilities and mission as a "mother" - perhaps there was no need to say it so seriously, because she found that with She still enjoyed Sansan's time together.
Sansan is now five years old, and the most difficult age is over. She can do most things by herself. She can even go to the mall alone to complete shopping because of Zheng Linxu's good education.
Looking at Sansan's face, especially the way she smiled, although Zheng Pianqian still inevitably thought of her biological father, her mentality was completely different from when she was just born.
Early the next morning, Zheng Pianqing and Sansan sat in the back seat of the car to go to school. After getting off the car, he personally took her to the door of the classroom.
When they parted, Sansan opened her arms and hugged Zheng Pianqing, then leaned into her ear and said, "Mom, I will study hard today."
Zheng Pianqing smiled and couldn't help but raise her hand to touch Sansan's face, "I'll pick you up after school."
Sansan had such thoughts in her heart, but she was very sensible and did not ask for it. When she heard Zheng Pianqing say this, she smiled happily: "Then I'll wait for you~"
Zheng Pianqing watched Sansan walk into the classroom and stood alone in the corridor for a long time. She didn't turn around and leave until someone urged her.
——
On the day Jiang Mingzhu came back, it was originally scheduled that Zheng Linxu would go to the airport to pick her up alone, while Sansan and Zheng Pianqing would wait at home.
But Sansan heard that Jiang Mingzhu had brought her snacks from Beicheng and couldn't wait to go to the airport. Zheng Linxu had no choice but to take her with him.
Zheng Pianqing did not go with them, but stayed at home to make the final packaging of the oil painting that was about to be given to Sansan.
Jiang Mingzhu came over this time and brought back a friend who was similar in age to her and had a lively temperament. Sansan seemed to have met her before and liked her very much. When the three of them got together, they kept chatting.
Compared to them, Zheng Pianqian was a little unusually quiet.
Later, Jiang Mingzhu brought her friend to Zheng Pianqing and introduced each other.
"Sister-in-law, this is Zhizhi, the friend I made in Beicheng." Jiang Mingzhu introduced Fu Xiaozhi first.
Fu Xiaozhi: "Hello, sister-in-law."
"My sister-in-law is Sansan's mother, and she is also Boss Zheng's sister." Fu Xiaozhi had been curious about who Sansan's mother was before, and Jiang Mingzhu's words answered her doubts.
However, Zheng Pianqing could clearly see that after Jiang Mingzhu's introduction, there was a flash of shock on Fu Xiaozhi's face, probably because he was having trouble navigating their complicated relationship.
Later, Jiang Mingzhu and Fu Xiaozhi probably explained it separately, and when they talked again, the topic was not mentioned.
When Jiang Mingzhu and Fu Xiaozhi gave Sansan gifts, Zheng Pianying also asked someone to bring out the oil painting she had framed.
As soon as the oil painting was placed in the living room, Sansan was attracted to it. She recognized the protagonist in the painting as herself at a glance, and her eyes shone: "Wow! It's so beautiful."
Jiang Mingzhu and Fu Xiaozhi also followed, and they both approached the painting to look at it. They couldn't believe it was a painting.
Sansan also had the same doubt: "Mom, did you draw this?"
Zheng Pianqing nodded.
"Ah ah, mom, you are so awesome!" Sansan hugged Zheng Pianqing excitedly, and did not hide her praise for her, "I like it so much. It turns out that mom is also a painter. Mom, you are my pride~"
Sansan's way of expressing her feelings is very warm and direct. In addition, she is very talented in language and can always express her inner thoughts accurately. This is completely different from Zheng Pianqing.
Faced with Sansan's enthusiasm, Zheng Pianqing often felt at a loss and didn't know how to respond to her.
Fortunately, Sansan is thoughtful but not sensitive. She can always quickly find reasons to "persuade" herself: "Is mom shy?"
Zheng Pianqian laughed, "A little bit."
Sansan: "Mom is often shy, I'm used to it."
After Sansan said this, the slightly awkward atmosphere disappeared instantly.
——
On the evening of the next day, Zheng Pianying and Zheng Linxu took Sansan, Jiang Mingzhu and Fu Xiaozhi to the reserved restaurant.
Before arriving, Jiang Mingzhu and Fu Xiaozhi went to the cake shop to pick up cakes. Sansan looked at the cake box, her eyes widening.
After arriving at the restaurant, Jiang Mingzhu handed the cake to the waiter and put it in the refrigerator for temporary storage. She watched the waiter leave with three eyes, held her chin and said with emotion: "It would be great if I could celebrate my birthday every day."
Jiang Mingzhu burst out laughing. She glanced at Zheng Linxu, then lowered her voice and said to Sansan: "I'll take you to buy donuts tomorrow."
Sansan's eyes immediately lit up, and even though she was excited, she didn't forget to glance at Zheng Linxu. Seeing that Zheng Linxu had no objection, Sansan said: "I want to eat the caramel almond chocolate one, and the raspberry one."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Do you want some frosting?"
Sansan: “Yes, yes, yes!”
Zheng Pianqing looked at Sansan and Jiang Mingzhu's state of communication and smiled unconsciously.
She was very lucky that Sansan had Jiang Mingzhu playing with her when she was growing up. Otherwise, Sansan might not have been able to develop such a lively and lovable character.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhou Li looked at Zhou Yi, who was drinking and saying nothing in front of him, with a puzzled expression.
Ten minutes ago, he was teasing him and joking with him with a smile on his face. Ever since Zheng Linxu came in with Jiang Mingzhu and his party, Zhou Yi's face changed instantly, and he kept drinking as if he had been stimulated.
Zhou Yi was brought back to his senses by Zhou Li's voice. He did not explain to Zhou Li, but said to him: "There is an exit over there. You go back first. I will have a few drinks by myself."
Zhou Li looked at Zhou Yi's abnormal look: "Are you doing it because of Zheng Linxu?"
He always remembered what Zhou Yi said before, that Zheng Linxu stole his girlfriend from him - Zhou Yi said it in a joking and indifferent tone, and Zhou Li didn't think he cared much.
After all, he has so many girlfriends.
Zhou Yi shook his head, but still didn't answer him, "Go back."
Zhou Li saw that he didn't want to say anything, so he didn't ask any more questions, got up and left through the exit on the second floor.
After Zhou Li left, Zhou Yi drank another glass of wine.
He and Zhou Li arrived much earlier than Zheng Linxu and the others. Just when he was teasing Zhou Li, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Zheng Linxu and his group.
What Zhou Li saw was Jiang Mingzhu.
As for Zhou Yi, his attention was immediately attracted by Zheng Pianqing and the little girl she was holding.
Although there was a certain distance, Zhou Yi could still see the little girl's face clearly, and she happened to be smiling.
Those eyes and smile were so familiar to him when he looked in the mirror every day——
And her height.
According to the information Ye Cheng provided him before, Zheng Pianqing's child is only three and a half years old this year.
But the child Zheng Pianqian was holding was obviously older than this in terms of height and behavior.
