Chapter 475 - 256: Jiang Silu: Brother, Mom Doesn’t Hate Dad Anymore. What About You?

"No, you need to be in it too." Jiang Silu pulled Wen Wan over, nudging her to Jiang Sifan's side. Then she handed her phone to Director Lin and said with a smile, "Director Lin, would you mind taking a picture for us?"

Director Lin accepted the phone with a smile.

The five of them stood in a row.

Jiang Yixia stood in the middle. To her left were Jiang Silu and Lu Fan, and to her right were Jiang Sifan and Wen Wan.

The sun shone on their faces. Behind them was the glass wall of the panda exhibit, where a chubby panda was eating bamboo.

"Okay, look this way and smile," Director Lin said, raising the phone.

CLICK.

Jiang Silu ran over to see the photo. After a glance, she said with a smile, "It came out great. You're a wonderful photographer, Director Lin."

Director Lin smiled and handed the phone back to Jiang Silu.

Jiang Silu walked over to Lu Fan, holding the phone. She zoomed in on the picture to show him and said with a smile, "Dad, look, this one turned out so well."

Lu Fan looked at the five people in the photo.

Jiang Yixia was in the middle, a smile on her lips and her eyes shining brightly.

Jiang Silu was holding his arm, smiling radiantly.

Jiang Sifan stood on Jiang Yixia's other side. Although his expression was a little stiff, the corners of his mouth were turned up in a smile.

Wen Wan stood beside Jiang Sifan, her head slightly bowed and her face blushing.

Lu Fan gazed at it for several seconds before nodding. "Yes," he said with a smile. "It's a good picture."

Jiang Silu glanced at Lu Fan, then over at Jiang Sifan, who was watching the pandas in the distance. She walked over to stand beside him and asked in a low voice, "Brother, are you happy today?"

Jiang Sifan turned to look at his sister, taken aback for a moment. He asked in return, "I am. Why do you ask?"

"Nothing." Jiang Silu smiled and said softly, "I just think it's really nice that our family can hang out together."

Jiang Sifan didn't answer. He watched the pandas in the distance, silent for a few seconds before letting out a simple "Yeah."

Jiang Silu knew her brother's disposition, so she didn't say anything more and turned to find Wen Wan.

Wen Wan was standing in front of a souvenir stand, looking at the stuffed animals.

Jiang Silu walked over and asked with a smile, "Sister Wen Wan, which one do you like? I'll buy it for you."

Wen Wan shook her head and said softly, "Oh, no, it's fine. I'm just looking."

"Don't be shy. My dad's treating today," Jiang Silu said with a smile. She picked up a small panda plushie and pressed it into Wen Wan's hands. "This one's cute. It suits you."

Cradling the plushie, Wen Wan's face reddened again as she whispered, "Thank you."

Jiang Sifan came over and, seeing the plushie in Wen Wan's arms, asked with a smile, "Did you buy that?"

"Silu gave it to me," Wen Wan said softly.

Jiang Sifan glanced at Jiang Silu, who winked back at him.

Jiang Sifan just smiled and didn't say anything.

At noon, Director Lin took them to the park's VIP restaurant.

The restaurant wasn't large, but it was quiet. Outside the window was a lake where a few black swans were swimming.

It was a buffet with both Chinese and Western-style dishes, all exquisitely plated.

Jiang Silu got a plate of food, sat down, and ate with gusto.

Wen Wan didn't eat much. She only took a little of each dish and ate quietly beside Jiang Sifan.

"Why are you eating so little?" Jiang Sifan asked.

"I'm not very hungry," Wen Wan said softly.

Jiang Sifan glanced at her but didn't press the issue. Instead, he moved a piece of cake from his plate to hers and said with a smile, "This is delicious. You should try it."

Wen Wan looked at the cake, the corners of her mouth turning up slightly. She picked it up and took a bite.

In the afternoon, Director Lin took them to the Koala Garden.

Several koalas were sprawled on tree branches, sleeping soundly. They were curled into round, furry balls, looking absolutely adorable.

"Why are they always sleeping?" Jiang Silu asked.

"Koalas sleep for about twenty hours a day," Director Lin explained with a smile. "It's because the eucalyptus leaves they eat contain toxins and take a very long time to digest."

"Twenty hours?" Jiang Silu's eyes widened in amazement. "Doesn't that mean all they do is eat and sleep? What a blissful life."

Standing nearby, Wen Wan couldn't help but smile as she watched the koalas sleeping so peacefully.

She took out her phone to snap a picture, then looked at the photo and nodded in satisfaction.

The tour ended a little after four in the afternoon.

Director Lin saw them to the exit and bid them farewell with a smile.

Jiang Silu waved to Director Lin and got into the car.

The car headed toward the city.

Jiang Silu leaned against the car window, watching the streets pass by.

Wen Wan was leaning on Jiang Sifan's shoulder with her eyes closed; it was hard to tell if she was asleep.

Jiang Sifan sat perfectly still, afraid he might wake her.

Lu Fan, sitting in the front passenger seat, glanced in the rearview mirror at the kids in the back, a smile touching his lips.

Jiang Yixia, sitting beside him, was also looking at the rearview mirror. The sight of Wen Wan leaning on Jiang Sifan's shoulder brought a sense of relief to her as well.

"Did you have a good time today?" Lu Fan asked Jiang Yixia quietly.

Jiang Yixia turned to look at him, surprised for a second. Then she nodded and murmured, "Yes."

Lu Fan broke into a smile. He didn't say anything else, just turned to face the road ahead.

By the time the car pulled up to the flower shop, the sky had nearly gone dark.

Jiang Silu hopped out of the car, stretched, and said with a grin, "I'm exhausted from all the fun today, but I'm so happy."

"Go home, take a shower, and get some rest," Jiang Yixia said with a smile.

"Mom, what's for dinner? I'm starving," Jiang Silu said, rubbing her stomach.

"All you think about is food," Jiang Yixia teased. "I'm going to the market. What do you feel like eating?"

"Anything's fine. Whatever you make is always delicious, Mom," Jiang Silu said sweetly.

Jiang Yixia laughed and turned to walk toward the market.

Lu Fan followed, walking beside her. "I'll go with you," he said softly.

Jiang Yixia glanced at him but didn't object. The two of them walked side-by-side toward the market.

Jiang Silu watched the scene unfold. She turned to Jiang Sifan, then gestured with a smile toward their parents. "Brother, I don't think Mom hates Dad anymore. What about you?"

At her words, Jiang Sifan was taken aback.
