Chapter 647: Chapter 646: Not Just Empty Words

Luo Xinyan saw that Lin Xia’s expression didn’t seem feigned and said, "Then have a seat! I’ll get you a glass of water!"

Lin Xia didn’t stop her this time. While Luo Xinyan went into the kitchen, she casually looked around Luo Xinyan’s home.

She saw a brightly lit and clean room with a sewing machine opened up, and a piece of cut fabric under the presser foot.

Luo Xinyan brought Lin Xia a glass of water and noticed where she was looking.

She said cheerfully, "I’m making some little clothes for Yueyue’s child. I originally prepared quite a bit, but this child is so prone to spitting up milk, the stains around the collar just won’t come out...

Besides, after the baby was done with the postpartum months, it started growing like crazy, so I have to prepare several more outfits for changing..."

As soon as she started talking about Luo Yue’s child, Luo Xinyan radiated with vivid joy.

Lin Xia also empathized; the child was indeed very lovable, "It’s good to prepare more. The weather’s getting cooler by the day, and clothes won’t dry as easily once they’re washed!"

Luo Xinyan nodded, "Exactly!"

The two of them had a lot to say when talking about Lele.

After a while, Lin Xia casually asked, "Did my uncle and the others go out?"

Luo Xinyan tucked her hair behind her ear, "They’ve gone!"

Lin Xia raised an eyebrow, "Gone? Back to the south?"

"Yes, they left the day before yesterday!" Luo Xinyan looked at Lin Xia and asked softly, "You didn’t know, did you? Zhiya and Jiang Mingyuan broke up!"

Lin Xia was extremely shocked, "Broke up?" She really had no idea, "Then why didn’t my second brother mention it when I called him yesterday?"

Before returning, Lin Xia had called Jiang Mingyuan, asking him to tell Ma Hao to come to the store early the next morning for inventory.

Jiang Mingyuan didn’t mention his breakup with Song Zhiya on the phone, nor was there a hint of it in his tone...

Luo Xinyan knew a little about what happened, "He probably didn’t want to tell you! It was Zhiya who initiated the breakup with him. Your uncle was also surprised; he didn’t expect her to end things so decisively!

He was worried before... so the day before yesterday, he left with Zhiya..."

At Mingyuan Restaurant, Jiang Mingyuan’s office.

Zhao Da Nainai and Jiang Mingyuan were sitting opposite each other at the office desk.

Zhao Da Nainai angrily tapped the desk and questioned, "Second son! What’s the real reason for your breakup? She’s such a good girl, how could she break up with you without a reason? I just can’t believe it!"

She wasn’t blind; how could she not see how much Song Zhiya liked and cared for her son?

She was utterly baffled by Song Zhiya’s sudden proposal to break up!

That day, Ma Hao came to the restaurant for a meal, and on his way back, he brought something to her from her second son.

She learned from Ma Hao that Song Zhiya and her father had come here, so she thought of inviting them both for a meal.

The two kids had been seeing each other for quite a while, and as a senior, she felt they should sit down and discuss the future.

But unexpectedly, when she called Jiang Mingyuan to make an early appointment with Song Yinran, he kept making excuses about being temporarily unavailable, saying they’d meet when there was time later.

When she called again yesterday to press the issue, only then did Jiang Mingyuan confess the truth, saying they had already broken up, and Song Zhiya had returned south with Song Yinran.

Of course, Zhao Da Nainai felt both anger and urgency. She had no idea what caused the promising relationship to fall through!

So, early in the morning, she took the car into the city, cornered Jiang Mingyuan in his office, and grilled him relentlessly until she could get a clear understanding!

Jiang Mingyuan smoked in silence, shrouded in smoke, not uttering a word in response to Zhao Da Nainai’s questioning.

Seeing him like this, Zhao Da Nainai knew her son must have been dumped and was definitely not in a good mood.

She softened her tone, "Er-zi! Tell Mom the truth! Did she break up with you on impulse?"

Jiang Mingyuan shook his head, "It wasn’t on impulse!"

He could feel that Song Zhiya was serious!

Zhao Da Nainai’s eyes widened, and her voice rose sharply, "Then what on earth is it for? Why break up when everything seemed so good?"

Seeing that Jiang Mingyuan remained sullen and silent, Zhao Da Nainai got up, walked over to him, and pounded his shoulder hard, "You little rascal, say something! Why did she break up with you? Are you trying to worry me to death?"

Jiang Mingyuan put out his cigarette, turned his head to look at his mother, whose hair had turned a shade whiter, and a complex look flashed in his eyes, "Mom! It’s my fault! I didn’t care enough for her!"

Zhao Da Nainai’s emotions surged, her chest heaving violently, pointing at Jiang Mingyuan’s nose, "What on earth are you thinking about every day? You finally get a girlfriend and you don’t treat her right? You! You! You’re going to worry me to death!"

At the end, she couldn’t help but ask as she calmed her anger, "Is there still a chance to make things right? Should I call her parents in the south for you?"

In Zhao Da Nainai’s heart, she truly thought Song Zhiya was good in every way, with a nice personality, a good family background, and being an exceptional pick for a daughter-in-law.

If there was a chance to make things right, she really wanted to sincerely give it a try!

Jiang Mingyuan shook his head gently, "Mom! No need! I think it’s better this way! I was never good enough for her anyway!"

He was well aware of Song Yinran’s attitude: without achieving something in his career, Song Yinran would not entrust his daughter to him.

Jiang Mingyuan’s lack of a university education was something Zhao Da Nainai forever felt guilty about; she sighed longingly, "Er-zi! Mom still feels it’s such a pity!"

"Mom! Please don’t worry about my business!" Jiang Mingyuan diverted her attention at the right time, "Has Xiaoqing met anyone suitable in her blind dates recently?"

Indeed, once Zhao Da Nainai started talking about Jiang Mingqing, she had a litany of grievances to spill, "How could there be anyone that suitable! You know how picky your sister is!

I had hoped she would find someone decent during the summer break, but while they all seemed quite pleased with her, it’s pointless if she doesn’t like them in return!"

"Mom! I think we can’t settle for less; we need to find someone she really likes! I’ll help look around too!" Jiang Mingyuan understood the crux of his sister’s issue.

"Good! You know more people in the city, keep an eye out!" Zhao Da Nainai felt helpless, "With you two... neither of you gives me peace of mind."

Jiang Mingyuan escorted Zhao Da Nainai downstairs where they bumped into Lin Xia in the lobby.

Lin Xia approached them with a smile, "Godmother! When did you get here?"

Zhao Da Nainai warmly took Lin Xia’s hand, "I’ve been here a while! You just got back, right? I heard from Ma Hao the other day that he wants to take over your shop!"

"Yes, I just arrived this morning!" Lin Xia spoke, carefully observing Jiang Mingyuan’s expression.

She noticed that, at least on the surface, there appeared to be no change in Jiang Mingyuan.

Zhao Da Nainai couldn’t help but probe her, "Lin Xia! Have you been in touch with your cousin? Did she break up with your second brother out of anger, or was it for real..."

She always felt it was such a pity for them to break up!

She feared that her son might never find another girl with such good qualities and such a kind heart again!

But love is something she knew couldn’t be forced! It had to be left to fate!
