Chapter 588: Chapter 588: Heartache for Mom

What if the time comes when you want to acknowledge each other, and something unpredicted happens?

That regret would, then truly become an unforgivable sin.

Chen Jing sat there for a long time without speaking, no crying, no fuss, not even a single unnecessary movement or sound.

She just sat there, as if she had turned into a statue.

Chen Jing didn’t utter a single word until Zhu Qianying embraced her and took her away.

Zhu Qianying was worried about Chen Jing. That night, she decided to sleep in Chen Jing’s room, which was understood by Young Master Yan.

Zhu Qianying ached for Chen Jing, seeing her behaving as if she had lost her senses, unable to do anything but quietly stay by her side.

The next morning, Chen Jing got up as usual. Zhu Qianying usually slept soundly, but she was alert due to the matter at hand. When Chen Jing got up, Zhu Qianying followed suit.

"Good morning, Mom!"

Chen Jing silently glanced at her, then nodded without a word.

Zhu Qianying went over to hug her, "We have an appointment at nine, check on the restaurant, or, just close it for the day."

Finally, Chen Jing spoke, "Open!"

In Zhu Qianying’s opinion, Chen Jing’s current emotional state was not conducive to being in the restaurant, but not allowing her to work and distract herself might make her mental state worse.

"Alright, let’s open then. But are there enough ingredients in the restaurant?"

Chen Jing would go to prepare ingredients early every day to ensure freshness. Zhu Qianying was uneasy about her going out alone in her current state.

"Let’s go now!"

How could Zhu Qianying let her go shopping alone? Even with a driver following them, Zhu Qianying was still worried.

But at this time, she couldn’t persuade her otherwise, so Zhu Qianying could only accompany her to the market.

The mother and daughter finished their morning routine, then surprisingly found Young Master Yan, who usually went for a morning run, sitting on the sofa in his outdoor clothes working on his computer.

"Mom, if you are going out to buy ingredients, I’m going with you!"

If it were anyone else, Zhu Qianying wouldn’t mind, but the Eldest Young Master with cleanliness obsession, who had never been to the market before, how could he cope with the loud haggling at the wholesale market?

"Young Master Yan, Mom and I are fine, you take care of your business, we will meet up at the restaurant later."

Young Master Yan, however, disagreed. Without a word, he picked up Zhu Qianying’s backpack and started to leave.

The three of them had a simple breakfast on the car.

To be honest, none of them had an appetite.

The Eldest Young Master was not accustomed to eating breakfast in the car, and Chen Jing and Zhu Qianying didn’t feel like eating.

During the drive from Yan Family’s home to the wholesale market, Chen Jing barely spoke.

Zhu Qianying and Young Master Yan knew better than to mention meeting their uncle.

Chen Jing’s reaction was beyond Zhu Qianying’s expectation.

She thought that upon hearing the news, her mother would weep uncontrollably, maybe even talk to her about the past as a way of expressing regret.

But, since getting the news, though Chen Jing’s eyes were red, she hadn’t shed a single tear.

This made Zhu Qianying worry even more!

She preferred that her mother cry and blabber, than keep silent and endure by herself.

No one can confidently say that they have never disappointed or hurt their loved ones or friends, or that they have never done anything wrong to those they care about.

Some disappointments, mistakes, or even damage can be rectified, but for others, you don’t even have a chance to say sorry.

Just like her mom now.

Zhu Qianying was very clear that in her mother’s mind, her grandparents were probably already deceased.

As for the reason for their death, her mom would definitely blame herself.

She didn’t even have a chance to say thank you to the two old men, for giving birth to her and raising her.

Neither did she have a chance to apologize to them, for the criticism and pain they had experienced because of her.

"Mom, you don’t have to take the blame for everything. Besides, we haven’t met with uncle yet, so we don’t know the specifics."

As they were about to reach the wholesale market, Zhu Qianying finally couldn’t help but start counseling Chen Jing.

It wasn’t that she wanted to touch on Chen Jing’s pain point, rather, emotions were better expressed than suppressed. Venting it out would be much better than bottling it up inside.

No one knew this better than Zhu Qianying.

In the past, she used to do just like her mother, keeping everything inside and enduring, thinking that with time, the pain would disappear.

But in reality, it didn’t.

If these pains weren’t vented, they would be buried in the heart like malignant tumors, consuming not just the body, but also the mind.

She had slowly learned to vent, and tried to express her feelings more honestly, especially to Young Master Yan.

Back then, she used to think she was happy and optimistic.

But all of these weren’t real happiness and optimism. The current her, was indeed happy and optimistic.

When she felt pain, she dared to say it out loud. When she was happy, she would also laugh out loud.

When encountering problems, she would face them bravely, rather than pretending they didn’t exist.

"Mom, Ying’er is right, we can talk about it after we meet uncle and find out the whole situation."

Even Young Master Yan rarely helped to persuade, this time, Chen Jing finally responded a bit.

She lifted her head, her eyes reddening, and nodded, answering with a ’hmm’.

Zhu Qianying breathed an unseen sigh of relief, as long as her mother was still responding to them, it meant that she was still clear-minded and wouldn’t get completely stuck in self-blame and the past.

"Mom, whatever the situation, you still have us, baby boy, and Xiao Yu’s baby who is about to be born!" Zhu Qianying added.

Finally, at this moment, Chen Jing was willing to meet her gaze. Then, she took a deep breath, reached out, and grasped Zhu Qianying’s hand firmly.

"Ying’er, I can do it!"

Such reaction from her mother surprised Zhu Qianying.

She had known that her mother had changed into a different person over the past few years, but she didn’t expect her to have changed completely.

Zhu Qianying held her mother’s hand tightly and got out of the car with her.

Young Master Yan naturally followed. Zhu Qianying glanced at the crowded wholesale market before them and heard the coming noisy sounds even before getting close.

"You wait in the car, let Brother Wang accompany us there."

However, once Young Master Yan got stubborn, he was even more inflexible than Zhu Qianying. He didn’t even bother to say ’No,’; he just took long strides towards the entrance of the wholesale market.

Zhu Qianying stared at his retreating figure and paused for a few seconds before following him with her mother.
