Watching Liang Yin drive away, Chang Jiu hurriedly entered the hotel without noticing a man following behind him.
She pressed the elevator and soon arrived at Zhou Ci's floor.
It had been three years since I had seen Zhou Ci, and there was no obvious change in Zhou Ci.
Her figure is still so good, and when she puts on a small suit, she has the unique sophistication of a working woman. However, she has cut her hair short and needs to get used to it.
"You're here." Zhou Ci invited Chang Jiu in and made her a cup of coffee.
Chang Jiu looked around and asked her casually, "When did you come to Jiangbei?"
Zhou Ci said: "I came two days ago and there is a customer here."
Changjiu said "hmm", "I thought you came here just for Yangzhi."
When he mentioned his son, Zhou Ci's expression paused, and his eyes gradually became complicated.
In fact, in the past few years, she had been to Jiangbei more than once, wanting to take a secret look at her son.
But Song Bowang protected the child so well that she had no chance.
A few times, she saw Song Bowan at events, but she didn't dare to approach him at all, so she could only leave in panic.
This time the contact lasted for a long time, and it was a decision that I struggled with for several months.
"Is he... living happily now?" Zhou Ci asked.
There was no answer for a long time, so she took out her mobile phone and found a photo of Song Yangzhi for Zhou Ci.
The moment she saw her son's photo, Zhou Ci finally couldn't hold back her emotions and sobbed and cried.
Song Yangzhi and Song Bowan are very similar, they are almost carved from the same mold.
When he was at the Song family, Zhou Ci had seen many photos of Song Bowan when he was a child. Except for the age and clothing, there was almost no difference between father and son.
Chang Jiu said, "The whole family dotes on him, especially his grandfather. When my brother trains him, he will look to his grandfather to make the decision."
"But he is still afraid of his father. He has been raising him since he was a child, and he is quite obedient."
Zhou Ci listened to Chang Jiu say these words, and the scene of their father and son's interaction appeared in his mind, such a living little life, a piece of flesh that fell from her body...
"He was brought up by... his father?" Zhou Ci's focus was entirely on this sentence.
Changjiu said, "Yeah," and told her, "Before he was one and a half years old, he took care of her himself. She slept with him every night. Although there was a nanny, he was basically the one who got up to feed her at night."
Zhou Ci was surprised when she heard this. She found that she could not imagine Song Boliang raising a child. The baby was too noisy and could not speak. Even if it was brought up by a professional, it would easily break down. Song Boliang had never been a good person.
A patient person.
"Are you surprised?" Chang Jiu saw Zhou Ci's thoughts.
Zhou Ci nodded, "I didn't expect... that he would take it by himself."
"He took good care of Yangzhi well, but he was alone at that time and didn't talk to the child very much, so when Yangzhi was just over one and a half years old, he would only call him daddy." Chang Jiu said, "Later, he took Yangzhi back home.
When the environment at home becomes more lively, Yang Zhi’s language skills will improve.”
Chang Jiu and Zhou Ci talked a lot about Song Yangzhi, during which Song Bowang was inevitably mentioned.
After Zhou Ci heard Song Bowan's name, she lowered her head. Although she didn't express anything in words, it could be seen from her actions that she had not really let go of Song Bowan.
"In September, Yang Zhi will go to kindergarten." Chang Jiu looked at Zhou Ci and said, "He is usually at home. Brother protects him well. He has not had much contact with his peers, and there is no one in his world.
He has the concept of mother, but after he goes to school, he will find that other children have mothers, but he only has a father."
Chang Jiu's words made Zhou Ci's fists tighten a bit, and his nails dug deep marks into his palms.
In the past few years, she had never thought about this problem.
Song Yangzhi was taken by Song Bowan, so he could naturally enjoy the highest quality of life. However, if he asked one day where his mother had gone, how would Song Bowan explain it to him?
Or... should we just find him a stepmother?
In the past few years, Zhou Ci has been paying attention to the news about the Song family almost every day. When there was news in the media that Song Bo wanted to marry a daughter, she became nervous and immediately went to check the information of the daughter.
She was only afraid that her child would be wronged because of her stepmother.
Zhou Ci was silent for a long time and asked her, "Hasn't he considered finding a mother for Yang Zhi?"
Chang Jiu: "What about you? Have you not considered being an honest mother to Yang Zhi?"
Zhou Ci was confused by Chang Jiu's question. She raised her head and looked at Chang Jiu, "What... is it fair and aboveboard?"
"You still like him." Chang Jiu stopped beating around the bush and made her thoughts clear directly, "Your tone just now said everything."
Zhou Ci remained silent. How could she not know how she felt?
She used to think that she was mostly guilty of Song Bo, but after three years of separation, she realized that it was much more than that.
But so what, Song Bo hated her so much that he might be with any woman except her.
When he took the child away, he told her that he did not want to see her again in this life, and she followed this sentence. After that day, she never appeared in front of him.
Chang Jiu asked her again, "Have you never thought about a family of three being together?"
Zhou Ci wiped away her tears and tugged at the corners of her mouth mockingly, "How is that possible?"
Changjiu said, "If you don't give it a try, how do you know it's impossible?"
"He finds a woman to marry and becomes Yangzhi's stepmother, and then you mother and son will never see each other again. You have to watch him call someone else's mother your whole life. Are you willing to do that?"
Each of Chang Jiu's questions was so sharp that Zhou Ci was left speechless.
Such a picture appeared in her mind, and just thinking about it made her heart feel cramped and her breathing became rapid.
Not willing to give in, of course she was not willing to give in, that was the child she gave birth to in ten months of pregnancy, how could she be willing to watch him call someone else his mother all his life?
Chang Jiu saw the change in Zhou Ci's eyes and knew she was shaken. She asked Zhou Ci again, "Do you want to see Yang Zhi?"
Zhou Ci's shoulders stiffened and her voice was hoarse, "...can I see him?"
"If you want, I can bring him out to meet you." Chang Jiu said.
Zhou Ci was excited for a moment, then calmed down, "I don't want it anymore, he definitely doesn't want me to meet the child, and it will involve you..."
"Even if he loses his temper, he won't do anything to me." Chang Jiu still has this kind of confidence, "So, you just need to figure out what you want."
Zhou Ci once witnessed how much Song Bowan doted on Chang Jiu. Even if he was angry again, he would not be able to vent his anger on Chang Jiu...
The more Zhou Ci thought about it, the more excited she became. She asked Chang Jiu: "When can I see him?"
"I want to take him out to play tomorrow, is it convenient for you?" Chang Jiu asked.
Zhou Ci nodded, "I can do it anytime." You could tell from her eager tone how much she wanted to see Song Yangzhi.
Changjiu couldn't help but ask her, "If you want to see him so much, why have you endured it for so many years?"
