Chapter 42: Can't

Views:

Every word the old lady said struck Wen Jialuo's heart.

It is above the blue sky, but it feels like the edge of the vast ocean, with waves constantly crashing and roaring, threatening to break down the embankment along the coast.

There seemed to be a ray of sunlight shining through the clouds in the sky. Wen Jialuo sat by the window and could almost feel the sunlight hitting her face, making her feel hot and painful. Grandma had already made her bold statement and was looking at her expectantly, waiting for her reaction. She could only let her ears buzz and her heart become a mess.

"You just... don't trust grandma at all?" The old lady waited for a long time, but her granddaughter was still stubborn and didn't say anything, so she sighed and said disappointedly.

This sentence became the last wave. Wen Jialuo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that from her grandmother's tone, she had already prepared herself mentally to accept any answer from her. In that case, isn't this the best time

Xu Shiqi was not around, and the woman's idea of setting a perfect plan for the future was always too idealistic. Reality was reality, and romance and aesthetics were not suitable at all for them to confess their relationship to their families.

That’s right, Wen Jialuo gritted his teeth, and all the roads around him disappeared, leaving only that one.

"Grandma, you... guessed right." She looked at her grandmother and spoke. The plane suddenly encountered turbulence, and it was a little bumpy, and her words were thrown into the air and not so stable. "But, do you really want to support me?"

The old lady smiled. She gently touched her granddaughter's tied hair, which pricked her hand slightly. "Silly child, as long as you are willing to tell me, it won't be a problem."

"But..." Wen Jialuo smiled, and the old lady felt that the smile was too bitter, "She and I are violating common sense, and it may be worse than you think..."

Wen Jialuo remembered that her grandmother’s nephew had a pair of twins. They were two little girls, less than two years old. They were so pretty that their grandmother loved them so much. Even the grandfather, who was not very close to children, hugged them a few more times and smiled even when they pulled his beard. But they were not the children of the Wen family after all, so the old man turned around and said to her, “You must give me such cute children to play with in the future...”

Grandma called him an old naughty boy, and the relatives all laughed and said yes, yes, yes. Only she joked on the surface that even if she gave birth to a child, the surname would not be Wen. But in her heart she knew bitterly that no matter what the surname was, it would never be possible.

"Grandma, it's impossible for her and I to have a baby for grandpa to play with..."

"No matter how much you agree, you probably can't let us stand in front of our relatives and tell them that we are a couple..."

"In this case, do you still want to know and support me?"

The old lady froze when she heard this.

Wen Jialuo thought that if she had thought that she was just going with the flow, now she was probably pushing the boat into a whirlpool in the deep sea. She could already see the surprise and doubt in her grandmother's eyes, as if she had completely understood.

"She didn't let me tell you," Wen Jialuo suddenly laughed, "She was afraid that you wouldn't have a good New Year. I didn't want to tell you at first, but grandma gave me the courage."

The old lady suddenly opened her eyes wide: "This person... Grandma knows him?"

Wen Jialuo nodded.

The old lady then began to ponder. She did not ask who this person was, as if it was a taboo switch, once opened, there would be no way to clean it up. So she closed her mouth tightly, and even her expression became serious. After hearing what her granddaughter said, she was in great shock, and then she began to filter candidates quickly in her mind. After a while, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and her face flushed.

The old lady held the back of her head, stared with her eyes wide open and could not speak, and only left three words.

Can't.

Wen Jialuo didn't have time to sew up the wound caused by these three words, and could only let the blood flow. Anyway, at this moment, she wanted to kill herself. Sure enough, this kind of thing, no matter how well prepared you are mentally, is still hard to accept.

So, Wen Jialuo wondered if her grandmother had guessed who she was referring to. So when Xu Shiqi was about to come to the hospital, she hesitated.

It was already known, and the consequences had already occurred. There was no way to avoid it. The old lady was very calm when she woke up. With her personality, she would definitely deal with it immediately after she woke up. She could apologize as much as she wanted, but now that things had come to this, she could only continue to win grandma's consent.

If Xu Shiqi's role is taken into account in the future, and if we are not doubly determined to win grandma's support, things will only go in a worse direction.

Whatever it was, she was ready for it.

Anyway, she will not separate from Xu Shiqi, this path has been decided.

And that woman was thinking carefully, but it was impossible.

Even though Xu Shiqi blamed him for being reckless afterwards, he couldn't hold it in anymore.

However, it seems that this is not the case.

Wen Jialuo wanted to wait for Xu Shiqi to see the old lady who was asleep, then find a place to tell her the truth, and then go together to apologize and fight for it. But unexpectedly, when the old lady saw Xu Shiqi, she did not show the emotions that Wen Jialuo thought she would show. She just looked like she had something to discuss with her family, and asked Xu Shiqi to step aside first.

Xu Shiqi turned around stiffly, not even daring to look at Wen Jialuo. She could sense that Wen Jialuo was also confused, and she couldn't figure out what the two of them were so mysterious about.

It seems like it has nothing to do with her...

Finally, there were only two people left in the ward.

Wen Jialuo looked at the old man on the bed with a complicated expression, and the old man on the bed also looked at her with a complicated expression.

"Jia Luo...was everything you said on the plane true?" the old lady finally spoke.

Wen Jialuo didn't say anything. Because she couldn't figure out who her grandmother was thinking of. She had originally made up her mind, but things seemed to have taken a turn for the better, causing her firm determination to waver again. Especially when she saw her grandmother whose complexion had not yet recovered, the wound in her heart began to ache.

The old lady couldn't hear the answer, so she sighed and said, "Anyone else is fine, but not him."

This statement was very clear. It gave a way out, but also blocked all the roads. Wen Jialuo trembled slightly, and her heart ached so much that she couldn't speak.

"Wen Yu... He is your brother. How could you two be together?"

"What, what..." Wen Jialuo was shocked. She coughed several times and almost vomited blood. "Grandma..." She glared and screamed, "What are you talking about, Wen Yu? How can I be with him?"

The old lady was also stunned, her face full of grief and misery, and she looked at her granddaughter, who was in a dilemma, and suddenly felt relieved: "Ah... Isn't that him?"

Isn't it against common sense that a brother-sister relationship is a violation of common sense? If they have a child, it must be deformed, so they can't have one. Of course, they can't stand in front of relatives with this kind of relationship, isn't it? The little granddaughter gave a range of people, and they were people she knew. After screening, the only man who met the situation was the grandson. That's why she suddenly couldn't accept it and almost fainted...

Could it be that I was wrong

Wen Jialuo supported himself on the table beside the bed with one hand and held his forehead with the other, trying hard to calm his breathing.

"Grandma," she shook her head, almost fainting, "you really have a rich imagination."

However, you are thinking in the wrong direction. Or, it could be said that your imagination is not rich enough, at least you cannot cross the gender gap.

The huge rock that had been weighing on the old lady's heart suddenly disappeared. She felt as if she was about to relax. Her headache was gone, and she felt less tired. "That's good. Grandma really thinks too much." She didn't care about herself and hurriedly asked, "Who are you talking about?"

Wen Jialuo lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, and tucked in the quilt that had slipped off her body due to excitement: "Don't think about this for now, just take good care of yourself."

"Jia Luo..." the old lady called out, but her little granddaughter had already retreated into her shell, and it seemed that she no longer had the desire to confide in others. The old lady sighed deeply in her heart, feeling very upset and frustrated. It seemed that she had frightened her little granddaughter, and she probably wouldn't tell her her secrets to her again in a short time.

"Jia Luo," the old lady reached out the hand that was not on the IV and grabbed her granddaughter's arm, "I won't tell anyone about this for now. The high blood pressure is all the fault of the plane. So you don't have to tell me now, but grandma hopes that one day you can put aside the burden and tell me."

Wen Jialuo didn't nod or shake his head. He just looked at her and gently held the withered hand: "You should have a rest."

The old lady looked at her granddaughter with disappointment. The granddaughter's tone was full of perfunctory, so she had to emphasize again: "Really, this time I'm telling the truth. It doesn't matter who it is. Grandma promises to support you."

"Yeah." Wen Jialuo smiled and patted her chest gently.

Wen Jialuo in the ward was in a state of laughter and tears after a struggle between his conscience and his desires, while Xu Shiqi outside the ward was in deep anxiety.

The old man went downstairs alone, leaving her alone sitting outside the ward.

This floor seemed to be full of high-end wards, very quiet, but in the silence there were occasional cries, no one knew where they came from. Even though it was very cold outside, she still took off her hat and gloves. These hat and gloves were given to her by Wen Jialuo, and would they look particularly dazzling when worn in front of the old lady? She had clearly realized in an instant that what the grandparents were going to talk about had nothing to do with her, but she still couldn't help but think about it.

The door of the ward was tightly closed, and if you got closer, you might be able to hear a little bit of what was said. But Xu Shiqi didn't have that thought, she just sat there quietly, stroking the ball of wool on the soft hat with her cold hands over and over again.

What should she do if Wen Jialuo has told the old lady what happened between them

What should we do if the old lady suddenly develops high blood pressure because of them

What should I do if everyone in the Wen family knows about this

What if her family found out about this

What if this matter were to be brought to the table and used to determine their future

What if one of them couldn't withstand the pressure from all sides

if…

If there were too many, Xu Shiqi found that her mind was just like this ball of wool, all tangled together, and she couldn't tell which strands were unimportant; which strand was the key one, which would fall apart if pulled.

Suddenly, Wen Jialuo's voice rose. Although it was still unclear what they were saying, it sounded like a conflict. Xu Shiqi stood up from his chair suddenly, and felt his hair stand on end.

The old lady's blood pressure just rose, and Wen Jialuo wouldn't say anything to irritate her again. Thinking of this, Xu Shiqi turned around and grabbed the door handle with both hands, but she braked again. If she was really inevitably discussed inside, Wen Jialuo shouldn't leave her aside; since they weren't discussing her and Wen Jialuo, wouldn't it be inappropriate for her to rush in

Just as she was hesitating, she heard Wen Baohua's voice.

Wen Baohua had a miscarriage during the Chinese New Year, and she went for a prenatal checkup today. Her family had just let her know that the old lady was in the hospital, so she quickly asked Xia Bang to drive to the hospital, but she didn't expect to see her classmates there too.

"Are you here to see grandma?" Wen Baohua knocked on the door and looked at her in surprise. "Seventeen... Are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so bad?"

As she was talking, the door opened. Wen Jialuo happened to hear this and immediately turned to look at Xu Shiqi. This person's face was almost pale, and his eyes flickered like fire in the wind. She must have been thinking a lot when she was alone outside, which made her so miserable. Wen Jialuo stood there stiffly. She made the people inside uncomfortable, and the people outside were not having a good time either...

"No, maybe I've been playing too late recently and haven't had enough rest." Xu Shiqi explained hurriedly. She was talking to Baohua, but in fact she was speaking entirely to Wen Jialuo. She found that the girl's mood had reached its lowest point, but she was almost the same, so her tone was a little stiff.

Wen Baohua pushed Wen Jialuo who was blocking the door and walked in quietly. As soon as she entered, she saw her grandmother looking at her with her eyes open, and she breathed a sigh of relief. She walked to the bedside, leaned over the old lady with great effort, and said coquettishly and gently, "Grandma, you scared your great-grandson."

The old lady couldn't help laughing. She reached out and touched Wen Baohua's belly, but then she thought of her granddaughter saying such words with a look of despair, and she couldn't laugh anymore.

Seeing that the old lady was worried, Wen Baohua directed Xia Bang to peel the fruit, and then asked Wen Jialuo who followed in to go back and rest.

Xu Shiqi also followed behind and said hurriedly, "Grandma, I'll come to see you next time."

The old lady nodded. When she saw them turn around at the same time and walk out side by side, her heart moved slightly, but she quickly dismissed the thought.

It's not a question of can't, because it's impossible.
