Chapter 951: 688 Q&A_2

Even though she knew that it wasn’t right for her to butt in at such a time, after hearing her niece recount the general cause and effect, Zou Luoxia still couldn’t help herself, she was even filled with righteous indignation, just short of pounding the table.

"That’s utterly unreasonable! Since they’ve already broken up, why does she come looking for Little Jiang for help? To think she graduated from a prestigious university, yet she has no sense of shame at all. So what if she’s sick? There are plenty of sick people in the world!"

"Aunt, keep it down."

Li Shuru reminded.

It was then that Zou Luoxia managed to control her emotions, "Rui Rui, listen to your aunt, pretend you don’t know anything about this matter! Don’t interfere at all!"

"Are we supposed to just watch that girl die?"

Xue Mingqin spoke up.

"Sister..."

Zou Luoxia looked concerned.

Of course, Xue Mingqin knew that her sister-in-law meant well, but everyone has different beliefs.

What her sister-in-law was worried about, she understood, but that wasn’t a reason for inaction.

"No matter what, that’s a human life. She’s Little Jiang’s ex-girlfriend, yes, that’s in the past, what’s there to fuss about now."

She wasn’t sure if that statement was meant for Zou Luoxia or Li Shuru.

Xue Mingqin looked at her daughter with a serious expression, "Do you know why she came to you instead of going straight to Little Jiang? I think since they were friends before, if she wanted, she definitely could find a way to contact Little Jiang directly."

"What else could it be? Isn’t this just to annoy Rui Rui on purpose?"

Zou Luoxia blurted out.

"Don’t always assume the worst in people."

Xue Mingqin spoke calmly, looking at her daughter, "She didn’t go to Little Jiang but came to you, precisely because she respects you."

Zou Luoxia’s lips quivered, but she found herself speechless.

Yes.

Sometimes, if you look at things from a different angle, you might feel very differently.

Li Shuru fell silent.

Her mother might not have the level of education she had, but mom’s wisdom wasn’t something she could currently match.

This was also why she had chosen to bring this matter up.

She couldn’t remember the last time she felt this "uncertainty" about what to do.

Humans are selfish.

She didn’t think she was any more noble than anyone else.

The term ’ex-girlfriend’ is taboo for any woman.

Leukemia.

Similar scenarios had unfolded in movies and TV shows. Informing Jiang Chen, she couldn’t predict what would happen next.

But if she concealed it.

Like her mother said, it was akin to letting someone die without helping.

"I know it’s tough for you right now, you just need to think, if you choose not to tell Little Jiang and that girl unfortunately leaves this world, could you live with yourself without guilt?"

"Also, if Little Jiang eventually finds out, how will you face him?"

Xue Mingqin could feel her daughter’s complex emotions, and she understood.

Wanting to protect your own happiness is natural, but there are things that have the power to overcome human pettiness.

Like conscience.

At this point, Zou Luoxia fell silent; not because she was convinced by her cousin, she still firmly believed that one should not meddle in other’s business, she just couldn’t find a reason to refute the argument, or rather, she was ashamed to do so.

Selfishness is an innate characteristic of human nature, which isn’t condemnable.

But being non-condemnable is just that, it doesn’t warrant praise, let alone promotion.

"Mom, I know what to do now."

Li Shuru said softly.

"Rui Rui, since you chose Little Jiang, you should trust him. If you trust him, what is there to be troubled about?"

Li Shuru looked at her mother for a moment, then pursed her lips and smiled, "Thank you, Mom."

Xue Mingqin also smiled, then picked up her chopsticks again, "Let’s eat."

In the evening.

It wasn’t until eight o’clock that Jiang Chen finally came back.

"Today, Luo Peng got interviewed by East Sea TV, and they asked him a very interesting question."

Li Shuru helped him take off his coat, "What question?"

"The reporter asked him what he thought was the most important thing in life."

After joining Donghai Commerce Association, Luo Peng’s business activities became more frequent, and he was being interviewed from time to time, his renown in the business world steadily rising.

That’s the benefit of having an organization.

"How did he answer?"

Jiang Chen said with a smile, "You know him, he babbled on about something nonsensical, leaving the reporter utterly confused."

Li Shuru chuckled, "What about you? What do you think is the most important thing in life?"

Jiang Chen looked at her, a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, "The lollipop tightly grasped in my hand at three years old, the dragonfly that I spent an afternoon capturing at five, the merit certificate in my deskmate’s hand at seven, those scorching summer vacations at nine, the admission notice from the key high school at thirteen years old, at sixteen the breeze in the classroom and the swaying ponytail of the girl in front..."

Jiang Chen blinked.

Li Shuru’s expression remained composed. "Go on."

"The scenery of life changes with each stage, and so does a person’s cognition. As Comrade Luo Peng puts it, only eight words are truly important."

Li Shuru’s eyelashes fluttered.

"On a smaller scale, it’s health; on a larger scale, it’s world peace."

Jiang Chen scraped her straight nose bridge.

"He said that to a reporter?" Li Shuru couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Did Aunt Xue and the others go for a walk?"

Jiang Chen changed the subject.

"Mhm."

"Why don’t you accompany them? Be careful not to get lost."

"They didn’t want me to go with them."

"How was your shopping today?"

"Bought some clothes for them, they were pretty happy."

Jiang Chen nodded, "There are quite a few fun places in the East Sea. You should take them around."

"I plan to accompany them to the City God Temple tomorrow."

"That’s good."

Jiang Chen poured a glass of water.

"Do you think there’s really such a thing as karma in this world?"

Li Shuru suddenly asked.

Jiang Chen was puzzled and laughed in confusion, "Why would you suddenly ask that?"

"Just curious."

Li Shuru looked natural as she gazed at him. "If one were to betray a deeply sentimental and good person in a relationship, do you think there would be retribution?"

Jiang Chen held the water glass, not speaking immediately. After pondering for a while, he finally said, "There shouldn’t be."

Li Shuru silently stared at him.

"However, you might need to realize that what you’ve missed could have been the person most sincerely wanting to treat you well in your life. Failing such a person demonstrates a lack of perception for beautiful things, and such a god-given opportunity is not one that heaven will give you twice. Just move on, and afterward, your luck will regress to the mean. Of course, the person who was betrayed will experience the same. It’s just that what you missed might have been your peak, while what he missed was a trough."

After speaking, Jiang Chen picked up the glass and took a sip of water.

"Are you trying to cheer me up on purpose?"

Although Li Shuru was smiling, it seemed somewhat forced.

"Do you think I’m talking about you and Ai Qian?"

"No."

Jiang Chen showed no change in expression, matter-of-factly saying, "You’re not someone so petty."

Li Shuru abruptly reined in her smile.

"What if I was talking about her?"

Jiang Chen put down the glass and stood up. "I’ll go check on Aunt Xue and the others."

"Have you been in touch with Ai Qian recently?"

Li Shuru also stood up.

Jiang Chen stopped on his way out, not out of dissatisfaction, but rather surprise.

Being concerned about an ex-girlfriend was perhaps normal for other girls, but this was Li Shuru after all.

"We haven’t contacted each other since the incident with Hamolei."

Jiang Chen turned around, providing a detailed explanation, giving her full respect.

They looked at each other in silence, and Li Shuru seemed hesitant to speak.

Jiang Chen grew even more perplexed.

"What’s the matter?"

"Today, Wei Chuyin came to see me."

"What did she want with you?"

Jiang Chen looked surprised.

Li Shuru quieted down.

Jiang Chen laughed dismissively, teasing her in a lighthearted tone, "When did you learn to be so mysterious?"

Li Shuru didn’t smile; her tranquil demeanor gradually erased the teasing smile from Jiang Chen’s face.

Jiang Chen frowned.

"Ai Qian is sick."

Li Shuru spoke.

"Sick?"

Jiang Chen looked at her puzzled, evidently not having grasped the situation yet, or perhaps not expecting life’s capricious nature.

As he was about to ask what illness it was, before he could speak, a voice sounded.

"Leukemia."

Jiang Chen’s pupils suddenly constricted, he looked distractedly at Li Shuru, his expression gradually fading away.
