NovelEnglishAfter more than ten seconds of silence, Cheng Jinyan said, "If you are in a hurry, I will ask my men to speed things up."
"It's okay."
Jiang Yao subconsciously shook her head, bit her lip, and said, "If you help me this time, it'll cancel out the last time I helped Master Cheng with his illness. We're even."

Cheng Jinyan's laughter carried a hint of helplessness. She savored it carefully, and there was also a hint of doting, just like when he doted on Cheng Jinnian.
"Are you feeling better? When Xiao Nian returned last time, he did not tell us clearly. We were all quite worried." Cheng Jinnian was afraid that Jiang Yao would have a psychological burden, so he always changed the topic. Jiang Yao was in the army base, so the Cheng family could not get anyone in. Therefore, Cheng Jinyan had not received any news about Jiang Yao for a few days.
"I'm much better."
Jiang Yao responded quickly. "Then I'll wait for your news. I'm taking a lunch break. I'll contact you later."
"Okay."
Cheng Jinyan looked up toward the door when he heard it open. When Cheng Jinnian's small figure appeared in front of him, he was unsurprised. Only Cheng Jinnian would open the door and walk in without saying a word.
"Brother, are you calling Sister? I want to chat with her too!" Cheng Jinnian ran over quickly. He leaped to his feet, grabbed Cheng Jinyan's hand, and snatched his phone. He held it up to his ear, but it responded with a beeping sound.

Cheng Jinnian looked at the phone records and saw that it was indeed Jiang Yao. He pouted and mumbled unhappily, "Dad and Mom always told me not to call Sister, saying that I would disturb her, but I haven't seen her for a long time. I think she is cold to me because I was very fierce when I first met her. Dad is right. Girls don't like intense boys."
Cheng Jinyan could not stop laughing. He raised his hand and patted Cheng Jinnian on the head, unsure how to explain things between adults to Cheng Jinnian.
Cheng Jinyan, on the other hand, thought Jiang Yao was a sharp-tongued but gentle soul. She was a sweetheart. Her mother's concern and love for her came from the bottom of her heart. She had no ulterior motives. Jiang Yao was about to become a mother as well. He hoped that she would soon understand her mother's difficulties and helplessness.
Jiang Yao sent a message to the lawyer after the phone call with Cheng Jinyan, asking the lawyer to think of a way to postpone the progress. Lu Xingzhi was not in Luo City at the time. She was concerned that the person who assisted Li Hong would continue to work behind the scenes to assist Li Hong in confirming her earlier role as the victim.
The lawyer responded to Jiang Yao as best he could. Jiang Yao returned to her bed after that. She was accustomed to sleeping at that time of day, so her eyelids were already twitching.
The electric fan by the bed turned and blew. It was October, and the cicadas in the courtyard had already disappeared. In the living room, the voices of Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang could be heard occasionally. The two seemed to be talking about who Jiang Yao inherited her love of durian from. They were chatting happily, forgetting that Jiang Yao was not their biological daughter and that there was no question of who she inherited it from.
