The biggest question is, why did Chen come to Sakura Empire?
However, Chen could not answer Ms. Sahish's question.
This actually put Ms. Saki at ease.
Chen's speech was remarkably mature for his age.
But he was just a high school freshman.
He lived alone in the Sakura Empire, with no relatives or friends.
She had abandoned countless things, and the reasons for abandoning everything were beyond Ms. Saki's comprehension.
Therefore, Chen should remain silent; his silence is the correct thing to do.
How could a child of this age possibly confide in someone so burdened about such a heavy topic without any sense of responsibility?
Ms. Shashi did not delve further into this issue; instead, she began to inquire about Chen's views on Su Shi.
But Chen initially gave somewhat irrelevant answers.
"Aunt Nagasaki, I came here today at Su Shi's invitation, and my first impression is that this house lacks a sense of home."
"Everything is too clean and too orderly; it feels more like a show flat in a sales office."
Su Shi seemed surprised by your return.
"So, when she invited me today, she probably didn't expect you to come back."
"So you probably don't come back often. And Su Shi is usually home alone. Right?"
Is it possible to deduce so much information from just one glance?
Ms. Saki felt she had underestimated the boy, and she gestured for Chen to continue with an encouraging look.
"Aunt Nagasaki, this is truly my first time visiting your home, and Suze and I are really just friends."
"I don't have a complete understanding of your family affairs, and therefore I have no right to offer advice."
Chen tried her best to be careful with her words so as not to displease Su Shi's mother.
"But please spend more time with Su Shi. I can tell she's really lonely."
"When I praised her cooking, she looked happier than ever before."
"I believe she would be even happier if you could eat her cooking every day."
"I come from a divorced family, and I used to live with my father, so I can empathize with him."
"I only see my mother once in a long while, and I understand how painful it is to be separated from her."
"I can see how much you sacrificed for Sushi's comfortable living conditions, Aunt Nagasaki."
"But what Su Shi wants most is your company. I'm just a passerby; the one who's always been by Su Shi's side is you."
"I'm so sorry to have bothered you today. You rarely come back, you should have had a good chat with Su Shi, but you spent your time on me instead. I'm truly sorry..."
Just as Chen was still considering what to say to Su Shi's mother, Ms. Saki interrupted his thoughts.
Her family was so gentle and caring.
Why does this young man in front of her always try to distance himself from Su Shi?
Ms. Shashi could tell that Chen was genuinely offering her advice, hoping she could adjust her work-life priorities.
If Chen Zhen had any ulterior motives towards Su Shi of her family, he wouldn't have said such a thing.
After all, it's most convenient for Chen to make his move when she's not home, isn't it?
Moreover, he comes from a divorced family.
The sadness on Chen's face, along with the hint of reminiscence, was undeniable.
Only someone who has truly experienced loneliness can show that kind of expression.
It's a kind of resignation to loneliness, realizing that nothing can be changed, and one can only accept it helplessly.
In addition, Chen has no relatives in Donghuang.
Ms. Saki couldn't believe how cruel fate had been to this young man.
When she pushed open the door and entered, the harmonious atmosphere between Su Shi and Chen made her envious.
If Chen is lying, he has actually come many times already.
That proves that Su Shi is already extremely fond of Chen.
If Chen wasn't lying, this was his first time visiting Ms. Shashi's home.
That's even more serious, it means her daughter has been eyeing Chen for a long time, and this is practically free money!
"Auntie really doesn't have much time to spend with Su Shi; she's just too busy with work."
Chen nodded calmly. This was perfectly normal; everyone had their own difficulties, and the situation couldn't be changed by just a few words from someone.
"So, as Su Shi's bandmate and friend, Chen, would you be willing to spend more time with Su Shi in my place?"
"what?!"
Chen's eyes widened more than ever before as he stared at Su Shi's mother, who had made such an absurd request.
No, why would she feel comfortable letting a boy stay with her daughter?
Is the extraordinary wisdom of the Nagasaki family inherited from one lineage?!
"Well, well, I am a boy after all, so I hope you can reconsider..."
Ms. Saki's move was an offensive strategy.
Through Chen's reaction to the suggestion, she could tell what the young man really thought of Su Shi.
In the end, Chen still refused.
These repeated rejections made Ms. Saki realize that the young man from the Eastern Empire truly had no interest in her daughter.
He needs to have ideas, and Ms. Shashi needs to prevent him from having any.
But right now he really has no ideas, and Ms. Saki is the one trying to give him ideas.
Such a virtuous young man is rare indeed, especially since he has no relatives or friends here. If someone cares about him, it will leave an indelible mark on his heart.
Moreover, Ms. Shashi also felt some sympathy for the boy who shared a similar family background with her daughter.
The most fundamental reason is
She could tell that Su Shi cared a lot about this young man.
She's been thoroughly investigated and there's nothing wrong with her. How could she, as a mother, possibly cause trouble for Su Shi?
Ms. Saki is preparing to pave the way for Su Shi's relationship.
Yes, just as the boy said, she did indeed wrong Su Shi.
As a mother, she was inadequate, leaving Su Shi alone in this cold home.
Even when she occasionally came home from get off work, Su Shi would sometimes take on Tian Gang's role, comforting her and showing her concern.
This is her only chance in this life; she must make a choice to restore her image as a wise and powerful mother to the world.
Shahi's duty is to restore the glory of the world.
"It must be tough living here all alone. Auntie believes in your character. Please come visit more often and spend more time with Su Shi."
"Here's my contact information. If you encounter any difficulties in your life, remember to tell me, and I'll do everything I can to help you."
"Oh dear, your hand is injured again? Oh, did you hurt it when you were working before?"
He's a hardworking and diligent young man, which puts Ms. Saki at ease.
"Here, take a few days off. Here, take this money as a reward for your hard work. I'll need your help taking care of Su Shi later."
The money Ms. Saki tried to give was firmly returned.
Feelings are feelings, money is money.
For Chen, these two things are not comparable.
Taking care of this love-starved girl is naturally not a problem if time permits, and it has absolutely nothing to do with money.
"Auntie, no need. I've saved up some money from my part-time job, enough for my current needs."
"Su Shi and I have always been friends. Helping each other is only natural, and it has nothing to do with money."
Ms. Saki gave a much larger amount than Ms. Ryo had given; it was a thick stack of bills.
However, the young man in front of her was not moved in the slightest. Without even a moment's hesitation, he stuffed the money back into his hand.
Now, Ms. Shaxi's final test regarding Chen's character has also revealed the truth.
Values relationships, doesn't care about money
Ms. Sashi obediently took back the large sum of money and instead gave her the small piece of iron.
"Then please accept this. Be sure to come visit Su Shi often, she's really lonely."
Ms. Saki handed the keys to Chen without giving him a chance to refuse, and dashed downstairs.
She was going to enjoy her daughter's lovingly prepared dinner, something she hadn't done in a long time.
segmentation
Su Shi put the food back on the table, futilely trying to reheat it.
How will her mother view her for doing this?
And what will Mom think of Chen? Will she make things difficult for him? Will she tell Chen never to see her again?
Miss Su Shi and Chen have absolutely no relationship.
Miss Su Shi should be jealous of Chen.
But why is she now heartbroken by such thoughts?
Finally, a noise came from upstairs.
Her mother ran over and hugged her tightly.
"Su Shi, Mom is busy with work and can't be by your side to be with you. Mom is so sorry..."
Su Shi's tears, unseen by her mother, slowly slid down her cheeks.
No one knew the taste of loneliness better than her.
What was supposed to be a touching scene was completely ruined by Ms. Saki's subsequent furtive whispers.
"Su Shi, Mom knows you like that boy named Chen. Mom has investigated, and Mom doesn't object to your relationship with him."
what? !
What exactly did her mother talk about with Chen upstairs? How could she even say that she didn't object to her relationship with Chen?!
Miss Su Shi's eyes widened suddenly, her previous sadness turning into disbelief at reality.
Which timeline did she come from?
"He's also from a divorced family and lives alone here. Invite him over for meals more often; I guarantee you'll win his heart."
"Mom has already tested him out for you; he's not after money and he's also working."
"Such a good young man, and you like him, Su Shi. When Mom isn't around, let him keep you company. Mom has given him the house key."
"what?!"
Su Shi couldn't hold back any longer. She rushed upstairs, wanting to know what Chen had said to her mother.
How exactly did Chen manage to get her mother to entrust the rest of her life to him?
They even gave me the house key! That's a key!
As Ms. Shashi watched Su Shi hurry upstairs, she became even more certain that her daughter liked Chen.
Enjoying my daughter's cooking, which was even more delicious than usual.
Ms. Sashi was truly impressed by her wisdom and prowess.
