Love begins with binding a girl with problems

Chapter 178
There weren't many taxis available at midnight, plus it was in a remote old town.

Jiang Yu came to the main road and found that it was so cold that it didn't look like a car was passing by, so he took out his mobile phone and prepared to take the car back with the remaining battery.

"Om..."

At this moment, Jiang Yu was startled by the vibrating sound from his cell phone.

The fluorescence of the mobile phone shone on Jiang Yu's face and he glanced at the caller. If it weren't for the caller's note that forced Jiang Yu to pick up the phone, Jiang Yu would have wanted to hang up the phone at this moment and save the battery for a taxi. go home.

"……Hey?"

"Happy birthday, baby boy~!"

On the other side of the phone, my mother Jiang Zilan’s voice was full of energy.

This late at night, Jiang Yu seriously doubted whether his mother had gone to the bar with her little sisters again.

"...In ten seconds, this blessing will be outdated." Jiang Yu glanced at the time and said.

“Isn’t this just in time!!”

"Okay, okay, thank you, mom."

Jiang Yu's response was particularly perfunctory.

In fact, he just wanted to finish dealing with his mother as soon as possible and use the remaining battery to take a taxi.

But in Jiang Zilan's ears, this urging tone had another meaning.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Zilan smiled and lowered her voice.

"...Mom, did you interrupt your good work?"

"..." Jiang Yu paused, and suddenly thought of Lin Nanxi today, and his face couldn't help but feel hot.

"Fuck...no."

"Then what are you anxious about...are you with Xiaoxi now?"

"No, I just sent her home."

"Tch, why did you send it home..."

"Where else can I send it to?"

"The apartment mom bought you is so big, with three rooms on a single floor. Isn't it enough for you to take Lin Nanxi back?"

"...Mom, what are you talking about?"

Jiang Yu pretended to be confused, pretending to understand.

At this time, you have to be careful. After all, the opposite person is Jiang Zilan, an open-minded mother who is very optimistic about her son. She can do anything.

"Oh~ I'm so shy..." Jiang Zilan joked.

Jiang Yu was silent for half a second, and then she said with a smile.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, where are you now?"

"Downstairs of Lin Nanxi's house, on the road outside the alley, we are preparing to take a taxi back."

"Okay, just wait there, Mom will drive over as soon as you step on the accelerator!"

Jiang Zilan thought Jiang Yu would go somewhere to have fun today on his birthday, but after a tentative phone call, she found out that Jiang Yu was done, so she decided to come see Jiang Yu.

"Have you returned to Jiazhou City?"

"Yes, I came back last night... Originally, I came to celebrate your birthday today. Didn't my mother go to Australia during the Chinese New Year? She promised to make it up to you."

Jiang Zilan sighed and said, "The result...the temporary company had a client to meet this morning, and it happened to be next door to Jiazhou City. I went directly there, and I just rushed back now."

After Jiang Yu listened to his mother's confession, he didn't think Jiang Zilan was looking for any excuse. After all, if Jiang Zilan wanted to pigeon Jiang Yu, there was no need to make excuses at all, and Jiang Yu wouldn't say much.

"I thought you went to drink." Jiang Yu's voice was calm.

"In your eyes, mom is just a wine jar, right?!"

"almost."

"...Mom is too lazy to tell you. It's time to drive. Just stand there and wait for me."

"Good good."

Jiang Yu's tone was filled with helplessness.

By chance, his cell phone was about to run out of battery, so he simply hung up the phone and sent his location to Jiang Zilan, and then found a cleaner curb on the side of the road to sit down.

I don’t know why my mother came to pick me up so late at night.

She could obviously go to her grandma's house to have a good sleep now, and it wouldn't be too late to come see him again tomorrow.

But... I probably have my own obsessions.

For example, despite being so busy until midnight, Jiang Zilan still had to call Jiang Yu to wish him a happy birthday before midnight.

Mother and son are really similar in terms of 'stepping points'.

But, just right.

Jiang Yu also had something he wanted to discuss with Jiang Zilan.

Jiang Yu sat on the side of the road in a complacent manner. When his phone ran out of battery, he could only stare at the cars passing by and count them.

This number is more than 200 vehicles.

Jiang Yu waited for more than half an hour before his mother came, and he almost fell asleep while waiting.

"...Hey, driving at night is such a joy. Just step on the accelerator and run straight to the end!"

Jiang Zilan rolled down the car window with a smile and waved to Jiang Yu.

"Son, get in the car!"

"Where did you come from..."

Jiang Yu murmured as he climbed into the car.

Saying 'climb' is a bit exaggerated, but the height of Jiang Zilan's off-road vehicle is indeed not low.

"As I said, it's the city next door, and there's a section of highway in the middle."

Jiang Zilan had sunglasses on her forehead and light makeup on her face.

She was still so cheerful and young. Jiang Yu rarely saw her wearing a suit. He thought she would really go to work today.

However, Jiang Yu didn't care whether Jiang Zilan went to play or socialize. He was satisfied enough to receive Jiang Zilan's birthday wishes.

People often say that children who lack love are easily satisfied.

But Jiang Yu feels that the reason why he is easily satisfied in this is because he likes the sense of security that satisfaction brings to him.

Don't embarrass yourself or others, this will make your life much easier.

Jiang Yu looked at the night view of the city outside the car, and didn't ask where Jiang Zilan wanted to take him. Anyway, Jiang Yu stayed wherever she drove.

This has been the case since childhood. Although Jiang Yu didn't listen to his mother enough, no matter where his mother put him, he would stay there without saying a word.

For example, here, in Jiazhou City, he has been stranded here alone for six years.

"Please blow."

Not long after the vehicle started moving, a traffic police officer was checking for drunk driving.

Jiang Zilan rolled down the window and blew in twice. After the traffic police let her go, she released the brake.

"Fortunately I didn't drink!" Jiang Zilan smiled happily.

"How about it, just say mom didn't drink!!"

Probably all drivers will be happy for a while because they were caught for drunk driving when they were not drinking.

Jiang Yu sighed helplessly when he saw Jiang Zilan smiling like a child.

"How does it feel after the college entrance examination?"

The road conditions were excellent in the middle of the night. Jiang Zilan chatted with Jiang Yu while driving.

"Calmer than expected..." Jiang Yu held his head and yawned.

"Let's go out and play. Your Aunt Wang's daughter took a plane and left on the day after the college entrance examination last year. She visited more than ten countries before coming back. You should also go and relax."

Jiang Zilan seemed to realize that her son was worried.

This depressed expression is completely unlike what a college entrance examination student who has just finished the college entrance examination should have.

"……I do not want to go out."

"Because of Lin Nanxi?"

Jiang Yu shook his head: "Not really... I feel like I still have something to do."

Jiang Zilan's car drove for about ten minutes and stopped in front of a large barbecue restaurant.

Jiang Yu stared at his mother in disbelief.

Jiang Zilan blinked: "Let's go have a midnight snack."

Jiang Yu: "..."

Jiang Yu wanted to say that it was so late, he was so sleepy and wanted to sleep.

But when he turned around and saw Jiang Zilan excitedly ordering from the menu, he couldn't displease his mother.

So I had to find a stool and sit down.

For a moment, I didn’t know who was the young person and who was the old person.

"I ordered twenty skewers of pork belly, twenty skewers of pork ribs, and duck tongue and duck intestines..."

Jiang Zilan read through the menu she ordered.

Jiang Yu doubted whether the two of them would be able to finish the meal.

"Don't worry, they're all not spicy!" Jiang Zilan said with a thumbs up.

The tastes of the two mothers and sons are similar. At least when Jiang Yu eats with his mother, he can always be full.

"I can eat chili now." Jiang Yu wanted to clear his name. "Assimilated by Lin Nanxi?" Jiang Zilan took a sip of herbal tea.

"...How come you never leave Lin Nanxi?" Jiang Yu muttered.

He could see that his mother just wanted to use Lin Nanxi to suppress him and see him look embarrassed.

"That's right!" Jiang Zilan said, patting her legs.

"My son ran away without even Xiaoxi. He even gave up his mother in order to study. He didn't even have a phone call for two months~!"

When she said this, Jiang Yu also had something to say.

"Huh, I don't know any parent who doesn't care about their son during the college entrance examination."

Jiang Yu snorted coldly.

It's not that I have to blame Jiang Zilan. After all, he has long been used to it, mainly talking back, just like all adolescents talk to their parents.

"...Hey, that's not what I am," Jiang Zilan paused and found that she couldn't seem to find the words to explain, so she had to confess, "I forgot."

Jiang Zilan did not realize until the day after the college entrance examination that this year's college entrance examination candidates seemed to have her own son.

The pressure at work some time ago left her with no time to think about anything else.

Although she showed Jiang Yu that she was always happy, there was nothing easy in the adult world.

For an entrepreneur like Jiang Zilan, just managing this aspect every day is already a big task. He has countless entertainment and also has to bear operational risks.

However, she rarely told Jiang Yu about these work matters.

However, regardless of her career status, Jiang Zilan will always be a mother to Jiang Yu.

It's impossible to say that Jiang Zilan doesn't feel any guilt when it comes to treating her own son.

She was always like this. When she encountered difficulties and couldn't find time, she would let her son compromise.

If she couldn't go to the parent-teacher meeting in the kindergarten, she would just skip it; she promised to go to the amusement park but then changed her plans at the last minute. She told Jiang Yu to go next time, but that 'next time' never came.

If Jiang Zilan doesn't spend enough time, it will always be taken away from Jiang Yu.

She even felt that the same was true for her own love.

She took away too many things from Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu has been so sensible since she was a child, so sensible that she feels guilty.

When Jiang Yu was very young, Jiang Zilan asked him, "Mom always breaks her promises. Do you hate your mother?" 'At that time, Jiang Yu gave her an affirmative answer in a childish voice.

He said: 'No, as long as my mother is happy. '

Jiang Yu witnessed Jiang Zilan's unfortunate marriage with his own eyes. That small, immature body always wanted to comfort her in his own subtle way.

Jiang Zilan knew that she was not a good mother.

Therefore, she would never force Jiang Yu to do something she didn't like to do.

Jiang Yu buys whatever he likes, and the pocket money in his hand is never less. If he doesn’t like studying, he won’t study. If he likes playing games, buy him the best computer.

As long as it doesn't break the law, Jiang Zilan will give it to Jiang Yu if he wants it.

Material satisfaction is the only thing Jiang Zilan can do well among all mothers, so she is never stingy.

"Come on, I've been waiting for a long time, your barbecue."

The barbecue restaurant was not so crowded late at night, and the grilled meat skewers were quickly brought to the table by the waiter.

Jiang Yu picked up the skewers and took two bites.

"It's so numb..."

It seemed that neither he nor Jiang Zilan wanted to continue the unpleasant topic, so both parties tacitly agreed not to say anything more.

"It's nice to have some numbing. Let me try it."

Jiang Zilan picked up a bunch of pork belly and put it in her mouth. After just two bites, she started to drink water because she couldn't stand the smell of pepper.

Jiang Yu mixed two cups of tea for his mother. He said one cup should be used to drink and one cup should be used to rinse the chili peppers. This was what Lin Nanxi taught him.

"My son has a strong learning ability..."

Jiang Zilan said with emotion: "I didn't expect that I ended up using my brain on studying. With your mother's skill back then... Do you want to drink?"

Jiang Zilan took a sip of the tea poured by Jiang Yu, but still felt uncomfortable.

"drink."

Jiang Yu responded quickly this time.

He still had something to tell Jiang Zilan, and he just happened to borrow a drink to do so.

It looks like I won't be able to get home until I'm drunk tonight.

The waiter in the shop quickly brought up a box of beer, half of which was frozen and half of which was at room temperature, and he drank it.

“Come, cheers to my son’s college entrance examination!!”

'boom,'

There was a clear sound of clinking glasses. Jiang Yu took the lead in drinking a glass. He raised his head and said.

"The college entrance examination results haven't come out yet, so let's celebrate first."

"What's the point? Are grades important? Grades are not important!" Jiang Zilan said, shaking her empty cup.

Jiang Yu took his mother's cup and poured wine for her.

He wanted to tell Jiang Zilan that grades were very important to him.

He does not move forward for some lofty dream. Every time he studies is full of purpose.

Now, it has reached the level of 'I won't give up until I achieve my goal'.

"Jiang Yu, you are already proud of me."

Jiang Zilan's voice suddenly became a little gentler, and even her expression was completely different from the cheerful look before.

Jiang Yu's hand that was still pouring wine shook.

He put down the bottle and the glass.

Jiang Yu sat upright again, placing his hands on his legs.

Looking into Jiang Zilan's eyes, Jiang Yu finally expressed his determination.

"Mom, I want to repeat."

"Then go."

Jiang Zilan's answer was more firm than Jiang Yu imagined.

She didn't seem to be surprised at all by what Jiang Yu proposed.

Jiang Yu looked up in surprise, and he smiled again when he saw Jiang Zilan's expression.

"Your head teacher has talked to me a long time ago... I still know something about you."

Jiang Zilan brought the wine bottle over, and this time she poured wine for her son.

"Of course I support your idea!"

“If you want to do it, just do it.”

"Let's go big!"

After speaking, Jiang Zilan raised the cup and banged it with Jiang Yu.

The crisp collision sound between wine glasses echoed in Jiang Yu's mind.

Jiang Yu no longer remembers how he drank an entire bottle of wine in one go.

He only remembered that his mind was filled with energy, his vision was a little hazy, alcohol was flowing down his esophagus, and the carbon dioxide bubbles in the beer made him extremely sober at the moment.

Jiang Yu finally made a choice.

This is the only thing he can do now.

During this time, he had been confused and hesitant.

But after seeing so many people supporting him and encouraging him, he decided to continue on this path.

What is there to be afraid of?

His best brother said to keep going.His mother also supported him without hesitation.

leftover……

Just tell Lin Nanxi.

"Whose kid drinks a bottle of alcohol in one sitting...really."

Jiang Zilan smiled and handed over a piece of paper.

Instead of wiping the drink from Jiang Yu's mouth, she was wiping Jiang Yu's face.

"The lipstick marks on your face are all smudged, it looks like blusher... wipe it off quickly."

Hearing what Jiang Zilan said, Jiang Yu vaguely remembered that his face, arms, and clothes were all covered with lip prints left by Lin Nanxi.

At this moment, Jiang Yu's body was already reacting to alcohol, and the person in front of him was his mother, so he let down his guard and became extremely honest.

"No, I won't wash it, I want to keep it for the New Year..."

He slapped his mother's hand away and muttered.

"What the hell?!"

Jiang Zilan didn't even know that her son was actually a lover, so she felt angry and funny.

"Wipe it quickly. I'll ask Xiao Xi to give you a few more kisses later."

"Then you have to help me persuade her..."

"That's for sure. Your mother and I are on the same side as you."
