After all, it was near the company, so Jin Nian did not want to embarra.s.s her, so she got into the car. After getting into the car, Jin Nian realized that things were not that simple. Xie He asked the chauffeur to drive, but she did not tell Jin Nian where they were going.
Jin Nian became alert, “Auntie, just say what you want to say. 1 still have things to do.”
Xie He still had a smile on her face. She said: “I heard that you got engaged some time ago, and I haven’t had the time to congratulate you.”
Not many people knew about Jin Nian’s engagement, so Xie He probably only knew about her engagement and did not know what happened after that. Jin Nian did not want to waste her breath on her. Instead, she congratulated Xie He sarcastically, “Auntie, I heard that you’ve gotten married for the fourth time? As a junior, I should be the one congratulating you first.”
Xie He shook her head helplessly, “Still angry at me?”
Jin Nian really did not understand why Xie He was looking for her today. She frowned, “Auntie, just say what you want to say. Don’t waste everyone’s time.”
“After so many years, you haven’t changed at all.” Xie He touched Jin Nian’s hair and praised her for her smooth hair, “But you did change. You’re more beautiful than before.” It did not seem strange for a female elder to say this.
If the person sitting next to Jin Nian was a man who stared at her for a long time without moving his eyes away and even touched her, Jin Nian would probably have called the police by now.
Xie He rarely praised anyone on the surface. When she praised Jin Nian, it was because she felt that the little girl was becoming more and more beautiful.
“What happened before was all my fault. The money 1 gave you later was actually just to compensate you. But you did not want it either. You said fiercely that you did not want to see me again too.” Xie He was the one who complained first and looked at Jin Nian aggrievedly.
Seeing her like this, Jin Nian inexplicably felt that blood ties were really an intriguing thing. Lu An had the same expressions and actions as Xie He when he was acting aggrievedly. She did not want to say anything more to Xie He, so she turned her head and looked out the window.
“Auntie, 1 know why you’re looking for me this time. You don’t have to worry. I won’t go back on my word. Only the two of us will know about what happened back then.”
“Of course Auntie knows that you’re a good child.” Xie He moved closer to Jin Nian and said: “You probably know that Auntie’s relationship experience has never been smooth. Back then, 1 encountered some problems in my relationship. My husband’s parents did not like me. At that time, my mother-in-law forced me to have another child. If not, she would give me att.i.tude and a hard time every day.”
“Tell me, I was already forty years old at that time. How could I have children? When the child is born, will he call me Mommy or Grandma? Moreover, I had long vowed in my heart that 1 would only have Lu An as my only child in my life. Lu An should have mentioned to you what happened after that. I divorced that gentleman. The company’s business also plummeted during that period.”
Jin Nian had always been soft-hearted. When she heard Xie He recount her unpleasant experiences in the past so casually, her wariness immediately dropped.
Xie He tilted her head to look at her, “You don’t think I’m also old-fashioned, do you?”
Jin Nian moved her b.u.t.t to the side, but Xie He leaned over again, “Niannian, I really know I was wrong, so today, I want to apologize to you sincerely. Back then, I hurt both you and Lu An.”
In the end Jin Nian was squeezed by Xie He until she had nowhere to run. She really could not do anything to her, “Alright, I’m not angry with you anymore.”
After Xie He received the answer, she smiled with satisfaction. She took Jin Nian’s hand and gently touched it, “It’s been so many years. I’ve improved a lot. Life is only 30,000 days long. It’s not easy to live once, so 1 have to be bolder and happier.”
Jin Nian felt that what she said made sense. However, Jin Nian still pulled her hand back and said lightly: “If there’s nothing else, please leave me off by the roadside. 1 really have something to do tonight.”
“Don’t be so cold.” Xie He came over and held her hand again, “How about having dinner with me tonight? I’ll treat you to something delicious.”
“There’s no need…” Before Jin Nian could finish her sentence, the car had already stopped in front of a private restaurant. Xie He acted cute and coquettishly as she dragged Jin Nian into the room, “Just ten minutes. Can you just accompany me for another ten minutes?”
Jin Nian had learned her lesson, “You said ten minutes…” Jin Nian was helpless. If Xie He was as strong as before, everything would be fine. But now that Xie He was like this, she had no other choice..
