Jian Yi's Mother

Jian Yi's Mother in Chapter 193

Mother

**Ms. Jian** is a character in the 19 days manhua. She is known as being Jian Yi's mother and is a splitting image of is son. We don't really know about her real/full name.

## Description

She is very beautiful and has the exact same features as Jian Yi: skinny body, the same face structure, long pale blond hair and pale gold eyes, except she seems to wear makeup. It seems that he got his beauty from her (^///^)

## Plot

Jian Yi's mother is not very much shown in the series, as she is working very often, especially at night. We don't know precisely what she does for a living. As she is a single mother and that Jian Yi is an only child, that lead Jian Yi to be home alone a lot. When he was in kindergarten, she couldn't pick him up after school so he used to be taken care of by a nanny. Still now, she goes back home late at night and gets back at work very early, which causes Jian Yi to not see her as much as he should. Jian Yi is sad about it but he seems to be not angry at her, as he knows it's for their sake.

Still, although she is not very present, she is a very strong person and seems to care really deeply about her son. We can recall she has notable feelings of guilt about not being there enough for him, and blames herself for being a reliable source of support, which is the reason that she is often seen crying. Despite often being out of town, she is really hardworking and always fighting to give Jian Yi the safest life possible. Her work seems dangerous, as we could see she had patches on her torso under her shirt in chapter 193, aside from the fact that she hides what she is doing: we don't actually know what she does at work, which could be a sign of it being dangerous. Each time Jian Yi was in danger, she never hesitated to come getting him out of it. For instance, when Jian Yi got kidnapped by He Cheng, Brother Qiu and other unknown guys in their building, she hurried to save him. As well as when he got kidnapped by a weird, dangerous man that sequestrated him in a hangar. We can assume she is always checking on Jian Yi as he sleeps when she gets back home from work; because she immediately called Zhan Zheng Xi when she noticed he was not at home on that day. She seems to be very worried about him, as he is often exposed at dangerous situations due to his father. When Jian Yi was injured after the fight against She Li, she immediatly rushed to the hospital to see him. Also, she is very grateful to Zhan Zheng Xi since he is always by the side of her son , to the point she even thanked him for that.

## Background

Jian Yi's mother has an unfortunately, very sad background that she explained partially to her son the night he was hospitalized after getting hurt by She Li, and also told to him by his grandfather. It's, in fact, related to her relationship with Jian Yi's father, also known as Mr. Jian, which we haven't seen the face yet.

As she explained, she met Jian Yi's father while seeking help after she had an accident while she was hiking in the woods with her friends. Then, the two started to get closer, and develop romantic feelings for each other. As noted by Jian Yi's mother, Mr. Jian was a "very kindhearted but distant person". Indeed, he was always listening to her but didn't tell much details about him. Both of them were dating when suddenly, one day, he said : "If everyone seems me as a bad guy, would you leave me? ", that she denied. Then, he told her that he was going to leave for a while, and that after returning, he would marry her. Sadly, he never returned, and he seemed not to know that he had a son, because as Ms. Jian raised him alone, she never told him, probably to not make him any worries. When she gave brith to Jian Yi, she told that she wouldn't give him a name until his father came back. In the early chapters of the manhua, we can see an illustration where a man (supposed to be Jian Yi's father) whispered "Jian Yi" in her ear. It's highly likely to be a dream, since he didn't come back. All of that is the reason why Jian Yi did not grow up with a father figure. Actually, it's been a long time since Mr. Jian made that promise and that his soon-to-be-wife had been waiting for him, since their son is going to go to highschool now, so approximately 16 years.

That situation had an impact on her family since she chose to stay loyal to her lover. When she announced she was pregnant and that the father was nowhere to be found, her dad got angry at her out of fear from his "dangerous background" that could "destroy her life". He even told her to get an abortion, but she chose to be genuine with her feelings and left the household. She now has a conflictual relationship with her dad but not with her mom, and still brings Jian Yi at their house. Thus, Jian Yi is really close to his grandmother but he reports to Zhan Zheng Xi that his grandfather "doesn't like him".

However, as explained by Jian Yi maternal grandfather, there is no hope in regards to Jian Yi's father situation, because the news at that time (when Jian Yi was a baby) reported that he died in an accident, so it's supposed that he is never coming back. But, since the actual chapters of the manhua are flashbacks on middle school days of the four boys, before that Jian Yi got kidnapped on a deserted island by his father, we know that Mr. Jian is still alive.
