Chapter111: Sunflower
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Tan Ming knew that the more wealth there was in the family, the more anxious she would be sometimes. The more capable her parents were, the weaker she would appear. In the past few months, she still felt that she should learn more management knowledge and share more of the burden with her parents. She was not a freeloader. However, in the past two days, what had happened made her feel that even if she helped her parents manage the company, she was already taking advantage of them.
If not for this blood relationship, which company’s management would accept an inexperienced young person?!
Everything that happened in the Tan family and the Si family told her that familial ties were sometimes not that strong. For example, Tan Xiang watched coldly as his sister suffered from severe depression.
When the Si family learned that Si Cheng had become a vegetable and might not wake up for the rest of his life, they were sad yet immediately chose a loyal and honest child from the side branch of the family to be the successor and started to nurture him. This took less than a week!
Even Zheng Wen and Si Ming only went to Si Cheng’s room to take a look once every day. As time passed, they wouldn’t even go there every day.
However, her aunt’s warmth towards him still gave Tan Ming hope for familial relationships. However, when her parents started giving her far more than she could repay, the uneasiness in her heart surfaced again.
Li Mei and Jiang Hai could feel the uneasiness in Tan Ming’s heart. When they heard Tan Ming’s words, they knew what she was afraid of. Li Mei pulled Tan Ming to the sofa in the room, and Jiang Hai sat on the other side of Tan Ming.
Li Mei held Tan Ming’s hand tightly and said softly, “An’an, I don’t know what other people’s parents are like. Why do you think that we will decide if we want you as a daughter based on whether you can repay us? I just want to tell you now that your father, you, and your three brothers, no matter what happens, our family has to be together. No one will give up on each other, nor will anyone be allowed to give up!”
Jiang Hai stretched out his long arm and pulled the mother and daughter into his arms. “An’an, your mother and I only want you to be safe, healthy, and happy. Previously, no matter if I wanted you to come to the company to help me or go out to work, my intention was to divert your attention. I was worried that you would be immersed in the sadness of the divorce and unable to extricate yourself. That would only cause you to fall into endless internal strife.”
“But if you’re more willing to stay at home and take care of the children and accompany your mother, this choice is also very good. Actually, most parents will feel happy as long as their children feel happy. It’s the same for us. As long as you and those three brats are good, no matter what choice you make in your lives, even if your mother and I don’t agree, our love for you won’t change.”
The two of them explained earnestly, making Tan Ming’s uneasiness dissipate a lot. She also began to share the things she had seen with her parents. “Now that I’m saying it, I also feel that I get too suspicious sometimes. Mom and Dad are completely different from them.”
Li Mei gently patted Tan Ming’s arm. “They deserve to be punished! You have to remember that no matter what happens in other families, you can always trust your parents in the Jiang family. Even if something happens to us, we won’t let anything happen to our children.”
Tan Ming nodded vigorously and reached out to hug her parents’ waists. She looked up at them and revealed a blissful smile.
After a heart-to-heart talk, Tan Ming let go of those negative thoughts and followed her parents to visit the third floor. The third floor had the rooms for Jiang Yan, Jiang Xun, and Jiang Huai. There was also a fully equipped gym.
The fourth floor was a starry sky-roofed theater with some other entertainment facilities.
After strolling around the main building, the two of them brought Tan Ming to the backyard at the back. The moment they entered the backyard, Tan Ming saw the sunflowers she had seen on the balcony just now as she had wished. It occupied about a quarter of the entire backyard. Although the species were different, they all had the golden petals that she liked. She immediately jogged forward. “It’s so beautiful! A golden sea of flowers!”
Tan Ming turned to look at Li Mei and asked excitedly, “Mom, do you like sunflowers too?”
Li Mei thought of something and chuckled. “It seems like you’ve completely forgotten what you said in the past. When you were two years old, I brought you to a banquet. After you went to their backyard and saw the sunflowers, you refused to leave. You said that you wanted to stay at their house and watch them every day in the future..”
