Chapter 1388: I Like Where You Are
It suddenly occurred to Sujean-
Is the old lady, who often goes to Switzerland, still immersed in her sad past and can’t get over it?
If so, what can they do for the old lady?
However, on second thought, Su Jianan felt that she was overthinking it.
The way the old lady smiled brightly like a flower just now, it wasn’t like she was in a bad mood, much less going to reminisce or something.
Perhaps she’s just going to relive the goodness of her memories.
After fifteen years, the old lady should …… have put it down.
Although she thought so, Su Jianan was still not quite at ease.
She clutched her cell phone and said, “I’m going out to call my mom.”
She stepped outside onto the balcony, gathered herself, and sent the old woman a video invitation.
Tang Yulan quickly connects to the video, and the background shows that she’s already in the car
Su Jianan pursed her lips and smiled, “Mom, have you left yet?”
“Well, it’s almost to the restaurant.” Tang Yulan looked behind her, “Two cars are following me in the back, all of them are Bo Yan’s people on them, and they have to follow me out of the country, making it seem like I’m going on an overseas expedition, is it necessary to have such a big battle?”
Su Jianan patiently explains to the old lady, “It’s a special time now, a few more to protect you so Bo Yan and I can rest assured.”
“……” Tang Yulan muttered, “Kang Ruicheng wouldn’t still be hitting on me as an old lady, would he?”
“This Kang Ruicheng person has no bottom.” Su Jianan said solemnly, “We can’t give him any opportunities to take advantage of.”
“……” Tang Yulan didn’t say anything and seemed to be in deep thought.
Su Jianan continued, “Mom, have fun in Switzerland!”
“Well ……,” Tang Yulan nodded thoughtfully, “I’ve gotten familiar with Switzerland.”
Su Jianan smiled, wondering if she should say anything else.
Tang Yulan looked at Su Jian’an, suddenly realizing something, her face was in a state of realization, “Jian’an, did Bo Yan say something to you?”
“…… “Su Jianan didn’t expect to be discovered by the old lady and hesitated not knowing whether to admit it or not.
Tang Yulan smiled even more graciously and said, “It’s the same if Bo Yan tells you now, or if I tell you later without thinking, I don’t mind.”
“Mom ……”
This time, Su Jianan really didn’t know what to say.
Tang Yulan smiled and shook her head, signaling that Su Jianan didn’t need to care, saying, “Bo Yan’s father lived in Switzerland for a while when he was a child, and loved the Swiss environment. Before we got married, he took me to Switzerland once, and I also felt very fond of it. But the country is our favorite place, and we don’t want to emigrate. So, Bo Yan’s father and I have agreed that when we are old and he retires, we will go to Switzerland for a few years to live there for a long time before returning home.”
Saying that, Tang Yulan’s smile gradually darkened, and only a long sigh remained in her voice: “But I’m the only one who’s gotten old ……”
Others couldn’t hear it, but Su Jianan heard the deep sadness in Tang Yulan’s voice.
Fifteen years have passed, and the loss of her beloved is still the biggest scar in Tang Yulan’s heart.
Tang Yulan is usually cheerful and always looks very optimistic, and she can’t see any traces of having been hurt on the surface.
Su Jianan almost thought, like everyone else, that Tang Yulan had let go of her past wounds.
But in reality, no.
“Mom ……”
Su Jianan wanted to say something, but realized that saying anything was futile.
How could the old lady’s ten years of unhealable wounds be healed by a few words from her?
Tang Yulan shook her head, signaling that Su Jian’an didn’t need to worry, and said with a slight smile, “Jian’an, you don’t need to say anything.”
“……”
Tang Yulan adjusted a comfortable sitting position and continued without haste, “During the years when Bo Yan’s father just passed away, I didn’t dare to go to Switzerland at all for fear that I would collapse. But now, not only do I dare to go, but I can also treat every place in Switzerland as an attraction and take a good stroll, and when I come across a place with memories, I will stop and sit quietly for a while.
“In earlier years, sitting down, I would somehow cry, but not anymore. Now, Switzerland can no longer evoke sad memories for me. For me, Switzerland is more of a …… place that has a common yearning between me and Bo Yan’s father.
“Now that I’ve gone to Switzerland, I don’t feel sorry anymore, instead I feel like I’m fulfilling Bo Yan’s father’s dream for him when he was young he thought that when he was old he must live in Switzerland for a few years before he returned to his home country, but his life was forever fixed in his youth and he couldn’t realize this dream, however, I can help her realize it .”
Toward the end, the heaviness on Tang Yulan’s face had faded away at some point, leaving only a faint smile.
Su Jianan finally believed that the old lady was truly relieved of the past.
For her, Switzerland is no longer a place full of regrets and untouchable, but a place of fond memories, so–
“So yeah-” Tang Yulan continued, “I’ll have fun, don’t you worry about me.”
“I know.” Su Jianan nodded, “Mom, be safe.”
Tang Yulan pointed to the back and smiled helplessly, “The two cars are in the back, Bo Yan still has friends in Switzerland, Kang Ruicheng wouldn’t dare to hit me! It’s you guys in A City who need to be more careful. Right, take care of Xiyou and Xiangyi, I’ll be back soon.”
“I will.” Su Jianan said, “You have fun in Switzerland, no need to rush back.”
Tang Yulan’s smile added a touch of relief, she looked outside and said, “The hotel is here, I’m going to have dinner with Mrs. Pang, that’s it for now ah, we’ll see you when I get back to China.”
“Good.”
Su Jianan smiled and ended the video call.
She thought for a moment and folded back into her study.
Lu Bo Yan was dealing with his work, acting as if he wasn’t too worried about Tang Yulan.
Su Jianan couldn’t help but ask, “Bo Yan, don’t you want to know how mom is doing? Don’t you want to ask me?”
Lu Bo Yan lifted his head and looked at Su Jian An with full certainty: “If I don’t ask, you will tell me.”
“……” Su Jianan was speechless, but she couldn’t deny that Lu Boyan guessed right, she cooperated with Lu Boyan to make a compromising look, “Okay, then I’ll tell you-”
“Uh-huh.” Lu Bo Yan made a show of washing his ears.
Su Jianan told Lu Bo Yan in detail about Tang Yulan’s reaction on the phone just now, as well as the purpose of the old lady’s trip.
Lu Bo Yan listened and nodded, still not really surprised.
Su Jianan was even more surprised and looked at Lu Bo Yan doubtfully, “Did you …… know this a long time ago?”
Lu Bo Yan did not comment, just said: “Dad just left those years, mom did not dare to go to Switzerland at all, and then she dared to go, but was obviously not very happy before she left. In the last few years, she has changed a lot, and every time she goes back and forth happily. Even if she doesn’t tell me, I know that Switzerland is no longer a sad place for her.”
Su Jianan nodded in understanding.
Lu Bo Yan had lived with the old lady for so many years, it was not surprising that he knew what the old lady was thinking.
Over a few moments, Su Jianan suddenly remembered something as if, excitedly looked at Lu Bo Yan and asked, “Do you have a favorite place?”
Lu Bo Yan raised his eyebrows, “What?”
Su Jianan’s face was wistful, “Knowing where you like, I can go there later ah.”
“……” Lu Bo Yan didn’t say anything and looked at Su Jianan with a meaningful gaze.
Su Jianan rubbed over and looked at Lu Boyan curiously, asking after him, “Where exactly do you like it?”
Lu Bo Yan stopped pretending to be mysterious and said, “Where you are.”
“……”
Su Jianan froze for a moment.
Does Lu Bo Yan mean that he likes her wherever she is?
Relieved, she deliberately teased, “So do I not have to go anywhere?”
“Neither.” Lu Bo Yan said breezily, “Wherever you like, we can go together.”
When Su Jianan was studying in the United States, she pulled Luo Xiaoxi around Europe and the United States as soon as she had time, and she has been to quite a few places, and there are quite a few places that make her linger.
She looked at Lu Bo Yan, “Speaking of which, there are quite a few places I want to go ……”
Of course Lu Bo Yan won’t refuse, but before he had a chance to speak, Su Jian An continued, “But Xiyou and Xiangyi are still young, so it’s inconvenient to take them out, and it’s not reassuring to leave them at home ……”
Lu Bo Yan pondered for two seconds and tried to make a suggestion, “Wait for them to grow up?”
“Hmm.” Su Jianan said helplessly, “It seems like this is the only way.”
Lu Bo Yan thought about it and hit on Xiyou’s idea: “When Xiyou grows up a bit, I’ll leave the company in his care, and we’ll go wherever you want.”
“…… “Su Jianan was stunned for a moment, not quite sure, “That’s not very …… good, is it?”
“Nothing bad.” Lu Bo Yan’s expression is bland, but quite certain, “He is my son, he will be interested in business matters when he is young, it is inevitable that he will inherit Lu’s.”
“Say it like you have no interest in business anymore.” Su Jianan gave Lu Bo Yan a look of contempt, clearly not believing Lu Bo Yan’s words.
Lu Bo Yan, however, unexpectedly said, “There really isn’t much interest anymore.”
“……” Su Jianan’s first reaction was impossible, staring at Lu Bo Yan in a daze, “Then what are you interested in now?”
Lu Bo Yan gazed deeply at Su Jianan.
Just when Su Jianan thought he would say that he was interested in her, Lu Boyan said without warning, “Our family.”
This time, Su Jianan really froze, staring blankly at Lu Bo Yan, repeating his words, “We …… family?”
Su Jianan quickly understood Lu Bo Yan’s words and continued, “You just work, leave the family matters to me, I’ll take care of everything at home!”
Lu Bo Yan raised the corner of his lips and rubbed Su Jian An’s head, “Hard work.”
Su Jianan shook her head, “You’re the one who worked the hardest.”
Just when the two of them were in love, Uncle Xu knocked on the door and said, “Ma’am, there’s a young lady named Zhang who wants to see you.”
“Ms. Chang?”
Su Jianan was confused.
She remembered that among her friends, there wasn’t a lady surnamed Zhang who was familiar with her to the extent that she could come to her home to look for her ah.
