Chapter 290: Jiang Sinian, Let's Get Back Together

"Move aside!" Jiang Sinian frowned and said.

It would be impossible to say he felt not a shred of emotion after hearing that Uncle Bai had died in a car accident.

But, at a time like this, he did not know from what position he should comfort Bai Mo.

They had already broken up; if he did not gauge the boundaries well, it would inevitably lead to misunderstandings.

His personal motto was: a good horse does not turn back to graze on old grass.

"Bai Mo is already pitiful enough; she hasn't eaten since noon. Even if you've broken up, can't you two just be friends?" the desk-mate continued, recalling hearing Bai Mo mention Jiang Sinian's ambiguous relationship with Jiang Yue, "Or have you changed your affections so quickly?"

"Zhu Yuanyuan, caring for a classmate is a good thing, but if you overstep the boundary, it looks like meddling."

Jiang Sinian walked straight ahead, Zhu Yuanyuan took a step back, and he strode away.

In fact, Bai Mo had been quietly keeping an eye on her desk-mate's movements; seeing her return to her seat alone, she knew Jiang Sinian had no intention of coming back to coax her.

Bai Mo felt very disheartened.

No matter what, they had once loved each other, and now that she was experiencing such immense pain, it was exactly the time she needed comfort, yet Jiang Sinian was actually indifferent!

If the roles were reversed and Si Rong had died and Jiang Sinian were sad and heartbroken, she would definitely do her utmost to comfort him.

Jiang Sinian's heartlessness made Bai Mo even sadder; she did not want to go home after school and lingered in the classroom alone.

Kong Nuo naturally stayed behind to keep her company.

"Big sister, I bought you some osmanthus rice cakes, will you have a piece?"

It was fortunate that someone cared about her, which made Bai Mo feel slightly better inside.

"I can't eat."

She pushed the rice cakes a little further away.

Dad was dead, Mom blamed her; what should she do in the future? And she was the type of person who could not endure being wronged.

The most hateful thing was Jiang Sinian; he seemed to really not care about her anymore.

This made Bai Mo even more miserable.

She still loved Jiang Sinian and could not possibly hand him over to another girl.

"Don't be sad. Although Uncle has died, everyone knows he was a good father."

Kong Nuo comforted her while observing her expression.

These words managed to comfort Bai Mo's heart; from the time of the incident until now, all she had heard were accusations, and only Kong Nuo had mentioned the most crucial point.

Dad loved her.

"Tell me, will Dad blame me? If he hadn't come to bring me food, he wouldn't have been in a car accident."

"How could this be your fault? You're overthinking it." Kong Nuo broke off the piece of rice cake Bai Mo had touched and put it in his mouth, "These two things have absolutely no causal relationship. For his car accident, blame him first for not watching the road, and second, blame that drunk driver. You were sitting perfectly fine in the classroom; it can't be blamed on you."

"Taking a step back, it was actually all fate. If it had been a step earlier or a step later, he wouldn't have been in a car accident."

With Kong Nuo's comfort, Bai Mo's mood finally improved a little.

She was finally willing to show a smile to Kong Nuo, "Thank you for comforting me, Kong Nuo."

"We are siblings; big sister, please don't be so formal with me."

Kong Nuo felt a surge of emotion as he looked at her smiling face.

If only big sister could like him too.

"Momo!" Shen Yuan walked in at the doorway.

She had already heard today that the Bai family's father had died in a car accident and was very happy.

Heaven finally had eyes; the couple from the Bai family had committed evil deeds and refused to return her brother's daughter to her brother.

Now they had been taken away by Heaven, hadn't they?

Now that only that woman was left in the Bai family, let's see how she could still snatch her away.

"Auntie heard about your foster father's matter. Don't be too sad; life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is in the hands of Heaven. Him passing away like this can be considered not having suffered."

Shen Yuan sat down beside Bai Mo, "Your family must be very busy these few days; why don't you come stay at Auntie's house first?"

Bai Mo thought of the look of coldness mixed with hatred in Bai Mu's eyes, and she did not want to go back either.

Moreover, she did not know if it was because of their blood relation, but she felt that she and this Auntie Shen Yuan seemed to have some similarities.

"Okay."

She was finally willing to nod and agree.

Shen Yuan was very happy and immediately wanted to take her home to make something delicious, and she also made a phone call to her brother.

Shen Chi had rushed over riding a motorcycle; now that the fruit stand had expanded a bit, he had saved money to buy a motorcycle so that the time wasted on the road every day would be less.

His daughter was now willing to see him, and everything was developing in a good direction; Shen Chi felt that life had more and more to look forward to.

……

"In a bad mood, is it because of the Bai family's matter?" Si Rong accompanied her son to watch the stars at night.

"Bai Guosheng was a good person, he just had bad luck," Si Rong sighed.

Today, she and Ming Zi had also gone to the Bai family to offer a farewell incense stick for Bai Guosheng.

Naturally, she had also heard those things said by the Bai family's relatives.

Standing from Bai Mu's perspective, she naturally could not accept the sudden passing of the husband she had loved for a lifetime.

She was very self-reproachful, blaming herself for not stopping Guosheng from going out to deliver food to their daughter.

Linking this to the fact that Bai Mo had not shown the slightest concern for Bai Guosheng's back injury the day before, it was understandable that she would vent her anger on Bai Mo.

"I didn't comfort her," Jiang Sinian lowered his head in distress, "I didn't know how to comfort her."

He also felt heartbroken, fearing that once he spoke words of comfort, the relationship between the two of them would change again.

They were not suitable; keeping a distance was for the best.

"In such matters, anyone's comfort is futile," Si Rong thought of Jiang Cheng's health, and her eyes dimmed a little, "Only time can soothe the scars."

"Since you two have already broken up, it is better not to have any more entanglements."

Out of selfishness, Si Rong did not want her son to get involved with Bai Mo again.

"Otherwise, it will not be good for either of you."

Jiang Sinian nodded.

"Your foster father was a good man; Dad doesn't know how to comfort you," Shen Chi said, taking some money out of his pocket to give to Bai Mo. "Take this money and buy yourself some things you like; your foster father will be happy to see it from heaven."

Bai Mo did not reach out to take it.

Shen Chi said again, "Dad is working hard to earn money every day now, wanting to buy you a house in Huaiyang."

A house? Bai Mo felt once again that she was being loved.

She thought that Shen Chi's fatherly love was perhaps heaven's compensation to her after taking away Bai Fu.

"Thank you, Dad!" Bai Mo took the money Shen Chi handed her.

She was finally willing to call him Dad, and Shen Chi was so happy that two lines of tears fell; he agreed repeatedly, "With this 'Dad' from my daughter, I am willing to do anything for you."

That night, Bai Mo stayed at Shen Yuan's house, hoping that Bai Mu would regret treating her with such an attitude.

Her foster father had died, and she was very sad too.

However, from this point on, Bai Mo also understood one thing.

In life, nothing is impossible; the world is impermanent. She had once been so certain that she would not acknowledge Shen Chi, but now that times had changed, she had acknowledged him after all.

Perhaps her deskmate was right; there was nothing wrong with her occasionally lowering her head to Jiang Sinian.

During the break, she stopped Jiang Sinian when he was returning to the classroom from the restroom.

"Jiang Sinian, I forgive you. Let's get back together!"
