Chapter 188: Giving Too Much
Chapter 188: Giving Too Much
Jiang Suisui hesitated for a few seconds, as if she found it difficult to speak.
"Sui Sui?" Jiang Tingxia pressed on. This was no simple matter, and she had to get to the bottom of it. If there were any signs of trouble, she had to nip them in the bud.
Jiang Suisui was embarrassed, and after a while she whispered, "My period came suddenly, and I didn't remember the time and didn't bring sanitary napkins, so my pants got dirty. The class monitor lent me his school uniform to cover it up."
Jiang Tingxia was about to say something when Jiang Suisui continued, "Mommy, I know what you want to ask. He and I don't have that kind of relationship. We're just ordinary friends. I've known him since elementary school. If there was anything, it would have happened long ago."
ha?
Have you known each other since elementary school?
Does that count as childhood sweethearts?
But this is not the point. If it is really as Sui Sui said, then I am just overthinking it.
Jiang Suisui looked at her eagerly, afraid that she would not believe him and think that he was with a bad boy again, and would not like her anymore.
After all, she was disobedient that time before, causing her mother to fall into the sea and almost get into trouble. She is still scared when she thinks about it now, and she will not let such a thing happen again.
Otherwise, not only will her whole family not forgive her, she herself will not forgive herself.
Jiang Tingxia didn't doubt her. She immediately chose to believe her daughter and reached out to ruffle her hair. "It's okay. Although mom is quite open-minded and doesn't object to premature love, as a student, you still have to focus on your studies. If there's no need for a relationship, you can hold off on it for a while."
Jiang Suisui nodded obediently, raised her hand and swore to her, "Mommy, I promise you that I will never fall in love again before I turn eighteen!"
Jiang Tingxia couldn't help laughing, "Really?"
"Absolutely!" Jiang Suisui's eyes were determined. "I don't even want to get married. I want to stay with my mother forever."
As she spoke, she put her arm around Jiang Tingxia and clung to her like a koala.
Jiang Tingxia suddenly laughed. "Okay, it's your freedom to get married or not. I won't force you. If you really don't want to get married, your parents will support you for the rest of your life. It's not like they can't afford it."
Jiang Suisui rested her face on her shoulder and rubbed it, "Mom is the best!"
Jiang Tingxia smiled, but her eyes fell on the boy's school uniform.
Sui Sui may not want to be in a relationship, but... the other party may not.
She hoped that boy wouldn't be another Ji Chen, causing trouble or even harm to Sui Sui. If that happened, she would definitely not let him go.
...
The next morning, Jiang Tingxia specially made a bowl of hot brown sugar ginger tea for Jiang Suisui. Suisui said last night that she still had stomachaches during her period, so she had to warm her body up.
Pei Zhili dressed neatly and went downstairs. As long as Jiang Tingxia was at home, he would get up early just to have breakfast with Jiang Tingxia.
Pei Zhili smelled a sweet fragrance before he even walked into the kitchen. Seeing Jiang Tingxia making ginger tea inside, he guessed that it was probably made for Sui Sui.
He looked at Jiang Tingxia's busy figure with greed, and said shamelessly: "Mom, I want one too."
Jiang Tingxia turned her head to look at him and said with a smile: "You are a boy, do you need to drink?"
"I just want to drink, can't I?" Pei Zhili said proudly, "It's cold now, and boys also need to ward off the cold."
Unexpectedly, this little bully who was domineering in school would actually act like a child in front of her. Jiang Tingxia raised the corner of her mouth and said, "Okay, I'll do it for you."
At this moment, Jiang Suisui suddenly came over and glared at Pei Zhili angrily, "How can you be as shameless as Dad, and you want to snatch this from me? This is the treatment I get when I'm on my period, and you don't have a period!"
Do you have to be so straightforward?
Pei Zhili suddenly looked uncomfortable. "Who said this can only be drunk during menstruation?"
"Humph, of course it's my rule!"
"Ah."
The kitchen suddenly became noisy, and Jiang Tingxia couldn't help laughing. "Alright, alright, stop arguing. You all have a share. Xiaoli, you're the older brother, why are you competing with your younger sister? Suisui, too. Be nicer to your brother and don't be so overbearing."
Pei Zhili seemed to have someone's support. He glanced at Jiang Suisui beside him with a playful look and asked, "Did you hear that?"
Jiang Suisui stuck out her tongue at him, but was suddenly rubbed on the top of her head by a large hand. She turned around and saw it was Pei Yanzhou.
His expression seemed a little serious. "Sui Sui, come with me. I have something to tell you."
Not quite right.
Jiang Suisui became alert, not knowing what he had done wrong. "Dad, is there anything we can't say here?"
"Come with me." Pei Yanzhou said in a firm tone.
Jiang Suisui could only follow him obediently. Pei Zhili took the opportunity to walk into the kitchen and enjoy this rare parent-child time.
Pei Yanzhou stopped by the huge floor-to-ceiling glass window in the living room and turned his head to look at Jiang Suisui. "Have you had enough pocket money recently?"
He suddenly asked this, and Jiang Suisui was confused, "That's enough."
"If it's not enough, I'll increase it to 500,000."
Jiang Suisui was even more surprised. Something was wrong. There must be something strange about this.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly give me more pocket money?"
Pei Yanzhou snorted and said unhappily, "Isn't it because I'm worried that you'll be easily deceived by Huang Mao again?"
Jiang Suisui, “…”
She complained, "Dad, where's the yellow hair? I'm completely immersed in my studies right now. I'm a ruthless learning machine! Yellow hair or something will only slow down my sword-drawing speed!"
"That's the best." Pei Yanzhou glanced at her doubtfully. "Anyway, let me put this out there. If the other party can't offer you equally good conditions, don't even think about dating him. My daughter isn't for everyone!"
Especially a bastard like Ji Chen. If there is another one, he will send him to Africa to mine and make him regret it!
Jiang Suisui blinked, suppressed a smile, and pretended to be distressed and said, "What should I do? Dad, I guess I won't be able to find a boyfriend. You give me so much, who can compare to you?"
Pei Yanzhou disagreed, "So what if we can't find it? Like your mother said, we can support you for the rest of your life."
It seemed that Mom and Dad had indeed told him what happened last night. Knowing that they were both concerned about him, Jiang Suisui felt that he had never been so happy as he was now. His mouth was almost grinning behind his ears. "Okay, then. I'll stay at home. Don't think I'm annoying you and Mom."
"Don't look down on us two old people, will you?"
"How could that be! Am I still a human being then?"
Jiang Suisui said this, moving closer to hug his arm and shaking it, saying slyly, "Dad, you just said... give me an extra allowance, up to 500,000 yuan, do you mean it?"
