Chapter 1365 -1237: True Hearts Are Hard to Find

At night, in the large bed in the hotel, Zhou Jiao held Little Jiu, gently patting the Little Jiu who was tightly clinging to her, and continued to whisper softly.

—She pretended not to see the child’s quiet tears, but inside, her heart was filled with bitterness.

In a foreign country, all alone, the little girl faced language barriers and complex relationships, feeling utterly helpless.

She once felt like a floating duckweed, without roots, drifting aimlessly, unable to find a reason for living.

The world she perceived seemed full of malice against her.

National Day to Little Jiu was like when she met Zhang Guoqing, similar feelings, Zhou Jiao understood well what kind of lifeline this was.

Living is frightening if one has no anchoring in their heart or goals to pursue.

The next day, Zhou Jiao privately approached her son to have a sincere discussion with him.

After listening to National Day’s heartfelt words, Zhou Jiao could only sigh at how her educational attempts for her three sons had gone astray somehow.

Her three sons were very pragmatic.

Like Ping’an, like Liu Yi, they are very rational about emotions, they don’t believe in love at first sight, and as for National Day, he’s even more so.

In her youngest son’s words, he understands human nature too well; the girl hasn’t met someone better yet, otherwise, nobody knows what the future might hold.

Yes, it’s not that he doesn’t like her, but he doesn’t dare to. He understands all too well that the more one invests, the more potential hurt they can receive in return.

Zhou Jiao herself could imagine her child’s future.

Once he completes his studies and returns home, and if Little Jiu doesn’t persist.

His marriage might likely be a strategic partnership, not needing pressure from parents, as he will prioritize choosing a partner who benefits his future.

Zhou Jiao wished she could slap herself.

—She always wanted her son to be happily married, but now, where did these thoughts come from, who was the culprit?

Her Ping’an has unwavering Qu Shengmei since childhood, her Liu Yi has constantly vigilant Yi Tangtang, but what about her National Day?

She truly thinks highly of Little Jiu.

In a family like theirs, they have everything, except sincere affection is difficult to find.

Especially for people like them, longing for love, yet fearing it; once they open their hearts and get hurt, they may never have the strength to love again.

If her National Day doesn’t take this step, he might regret it in the future, regretting losing the purest sincerity.

To make up for her mistakes, as a mother, she could only slowly analyze it for him, gently advising, quietly guiding.

Know that in this world, no one will stand still, waiting for you. Once things are hesitated, a girl’s true heart is truly not to be hurt.

As for unforeseen changes in the future.

Who knows what tomorrow will bring?

If you have concerns, solve them; if you have the ability, guide them; if there are issues, be honest, if there is regret in the future, live the life with no resentment.

She doesn’t know if her words truly reached her son’s heart, but she couldn’t just betray her son by telling Little Jiu out of pity.

Make the rice cooked, and my son won’t be able to escape!

Being a mother like this is really torturous. If not for being abroad, speaking with Zhang Guoqing over the phone, Zhou Jiao really wanted to ask him for advice.

The moment she boarded the plane to return home, Zhou Jiao still couldn’t let go of her youngest son’s lifelong concerns.

But it was Zhang Guoqing, after picking her up, who listened and reacted with surprise.

“Honey, don’t you feel you’re quite biased too?”

Zhou Jiao laughed and nodded in agreement.

“This is not good for family stability.” After teasing her, Zhang Guoqing said seriously, “Little Jiu isn’t you, and you’re not Little Jiu. As parents, we absolutely cannot use our own ideas to persuade the children.”

“Our National Day has his own thoughts. When a man shrinks back in front of a girl he likes, it only shows one thing; he hasn’t reached the point of love.”

“Really?”

“Indeed. I’m a man, I understand my sons more. What they recognized, they would have already protected within their territorial range. Look at Ping’an and Liu Yi, isn’t that right? Since they grew up together, sharing the same traits, how different can they really be?”

Zhou Jiao looked at him in hesitation.

Zhang Guoqing was anxious, you’re a little fool when it comes to emotions, you think pity can replace meals? Still trying to instill those old concepts into the son! Don’t mislead the son!

“In the evening, when the son calls, I must let him decide for himself.” He said, not quite trusting her and reminding, “Don’t meddle mindlessly.”

“Little Jiu is quite nice.”

“Nice for what? She’s not marrying you. If my son doesn’t think she’s nice, then no one is nice. My son was right; it’s because better candidates haven’t appeared yet, otherwise who knows.”

True gold fears no fire, my son is right. Wait, wait for the test of time, after all, my son has time now, I’m not anxious for him to get married and establish a career.”

This was the first time the couple had differing opinions over their son’s affairs.

On major issues, Zhou Jiao still prioritized Zhang Guoqing. After hearing what he said, what could she do? Only his words counted. Especially when he talked to the father-in-law.

Her father surprisingly fully agreed!

No, even her two sons who rushed back to welcome her return, along with the mother who was on the same side as her earlier, all were on-board with it.

Really no love!

Absolutely misunderstood what true sincerity is.

—She finally showed favoritism for poor Little Jiu, only to have it all destroyed by them.

Zhou Jiao could only reflect on herself in isolation and listen helplessly to them, the three generations joyfully chatting over international calls.

In the end, it was her considerate two sons, ultimately worrying about the mother’s overly sensitive thoughts going astray, staying beside her, one on each side.

“Mom, you know how clever my brother is, don’t you? I guess it’s not that he’s training his wife but that his feelings for Little Jiu haven’t reached any level of love.”

“My brother made a good guess.” Liu Yi quickly followed up, “Mom, did you forget how National Day made a fuss about wanting to raise military dogs?”

Ping’an almost burst out laughing, “Though the analogy may not be quite apt, the meaning is similar. When he liked something since childhood, his heart was set on bringing it home.”

“Indeed! I see that he understands well the difference between dogs and people, he’s making progress.”

Zhou Jiao laughed watching the two, particularly Liu Yi, she realized why National Day loves to bicker with his brother. With your sharp tongue, no wonder they argue!

“Don’t worry, calmly wait for him to bring an acceptable partner for you. After all, Little Jiu still hasn’t interacted enough with us; to see if she’s suitable, he has to observe slowly.

If she’s good, of course, National Day won’t let go. Just wait for now, it’s only been a short while since going abroad, hearts can change easily, if she really doesn’t have the patience to stay with my brother, she might as well leave quickly.”

After being told this way by her two sons, what options did Zhou Jiao have?

Each argument makes so much sense!
