"Yao, why don't you stay at home for a day? I'll get the driver to take you home tomorrow morning, okay?"

"That's right, your mom hasn't talked to you for a long time, so you should just stay at home for the night."

Aunt Jiang did not use a tough attitude to tell Jiang Yao, she herself was not sure if Jiang Yao would agree to stay at home. Actually, she really wanted Jiang Yao to stay at home for the day.

She had hardly lived at home since she was married, and she always came home early. Not to mention living at home, he didn't even eat at home often.

Thinking about Jiang Yao and Gu Zhao, although Aunt Jiang's heart ached, she didn't say anything. After all, she chose it herself and never regretted it, so she couldn't force her to divorce Gu Zhao.

"Okay, I haven't stayed at home for a long time, so I want to sleep with my mom tonight. Dad, you don't disagree, do you? " Jiang Yao mischievously stared at Uncle Jiang with a smile in her eyes.

Aunt Jiang and Uncle Jiang didn't have much confidence in this proposal to let her stay at home. They didn't expect Jiang Yao to actually agree to stay at home and return tomorrow.

"It's fine, it's fine. I'm not snatching people away from you."

Before Uncle Jiang finished his sentence, he heard his phone ring. He looked at his phone and said, "I'm going to pick up a call. You two can talk first."

With that, he took his phone and walked to the side.

"Hey!" What did you say? "

"Chairman, our Finance Department's funds are almost unable to hold on."

"What did you say …"

Just as Uncle Jiang raised his voice, he heard Jiang Yao ask, "Dad, what's wrong?"

"It's fine, it's fine."

Uncle Jiang had no choice but to lower the volume of his voice and try his best to lower it to a minimum so that the mother and daughter who were chatting in the living room wouldn't hear him, in order to prevent them from worrying.

"Just wait at the company. I'll be there right away."

Uncle Jiang rubbed his forehead and suddenly felt a headache coming on. Due to the problem with the capital chain, he hadn't had a proper rest these past few days. He had the price of the stock lowered, and the figures that Finance gave him today also said that the stock had been purchased.

According to his previous plans, selling half of the shares was a loophole that could be filled in. And now the treasurer says the money is running out. What the hell is going on?

"Yao, can you accompany your mother for a chat? The company still has some matters to attend to. Dad has to come out and settle them." Uncle Jiang put on the coat that Aunt Qin handed to him. As he was standing at the door and putting on his shoes, he suddenly remembered something, so he added: "Oh yeah, don't wait for me tonight. You guys rest early."

With that, he waved his hand and left. Jiang Yao and the others were all stunned.

"It's fine, it's fine. "Your dad has been working overtime for the company recently. Don't worry about him, we finally managed to have a good chat, don't worry about anything else."

Aunt Jiang chuckled as she held Jiang Yao's hand, then got up to let her follow him upstairs.

Jiang Yao and Aunt Jiang chatted in the bed for most of the night. During this time, Uncle Jiang didn't come back. It wasn't until the latter half of the night that Aunt Jiang could no longer hold on and called Jiang Yao to sleep.

Jiang Yao knew her mother was worried about her father. Although she didn't say it out loud, she could feel it. This kind of feeling was the same as thinking about Gu Zhao every day. She didn't want him to worry with her.

"..."

The next morning, Jiang Yao's biological alarm rang. She opened her eyes and looked out the window. Only then did she realize that she wasn't in her and Gu Zhao's home at all, but her parents'.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and stretched.

Aunt Jiang had woken up at some point in time. Jiang Yao touched the bed next to her and found that the bed had long since turned cold. Aunt Jiang woke up very early, but she didn't wake her up.

Jiang Yao finished washing up and walked downstairs. When she passed by the stairs, she saw her mother walking a dog in the yard. She seemed to be in a good mood, which made her feel a lot more at ease.

She was about to go downstairs when Aunt Jiang saw her. He waved to Jiang Yao and started walking home. When Jiang Yao went downstairs, she happened to see Aunt Jiang coming in. She untied the dog's rope and let it run around.

This dog was quite intelligent. It seemed to have smelled something. Soon, it ran towards Jiang Yao with its tail wagging. This made Jiang Yao happy, so she picked up the puppy.

"Yuan Yuan is so obedient."

Jiang Yao used her hand to smooth the dog's round fur, causing the dog to shake its tail even more vigorously.

"Alright, stop playing. Hurry up and come eat." You, Aunt Qin, have been cooking for a while and is waiting for you. "

Jiang Yao placed the puppy she was carrying on the floor and walked straight to the dining table. The little dog that had been put down started circling around Jiang Yao's feet, feeling very happy.

Jiang Yao picked up a pair of chopsticks and picked up a steamed bun from the steamer. Aunt Jiang looked on from the side, afraid that she would choke.

After she finished dealing with a bun, she took a sip of freshly squeezed soy milk and said.

"Yes, it's delicious. It's been hard on you, Aunt Qin."

"No, no. Miss, being able to enjoy my food is not a waste of my efforts. "

Aunt Qin laughed when she saw Jiang Yao say it was delicious, but she wasn't bragging. Ever since she was young, this young lady loved to eat the steamed dumplings and steamed buns she made. When she was young, she would always follow behind him, clamoring to eat the steamed buns.

Now that Miss had grown up, she had become a family. She was still very pleased with her skill.

"You should also slow down when it's delicious. Why are you so anxious about it?" "Don't worry. You, Aunt Qin, have enough for you to eat after cooking so much."

Although Aunt Jiang was talking about her, her hands didn't stop moving. She gave Jiang Yao another fried dumpling and placed it in a bowl before starting to eat.

"Hehe, I was just thinking about the steamed buns made by Aunt Qin. I don't know how to do it next time."

"Since you want to, why don't you come back often? Stay there by yourself …"

Aunt Jiang blurted out the words, but before she could finish, she realized that she had said something wrong. Then he swallowed the food in his mouth.

"Forget it, I'm not going to say anything else."

Jiang Yao didn't say anything and pretended Aunt Jiang didn't say anything. After finishing the steamed buns in the bowl, breakfast went by just like that. Before she left, Aunt Jiang had said a lot of things to her. Ever since she came back yesterday, Jiang Yao felt that her parents had been hiding something from her.

She tried to ask Aunt Jiang if anything had happened at home recently. But Aunt Jiang shook her head, saying that nothing had happened and even shifted the topic to her.

Then she forgot, and when she got home in the car, she remembered that she had asked about her mother, and she had faltered, and then she had simply changed the subject.

Jiang Yao thought about calling back home to find out what was going on, but when she walked into the house, she realized something was wrong.
