The light that burst out in Jiang Yao's eyes suddenly went out, and he smiled bitterly and nodded, saying, "Okay."
…
Wait until you get back to the car parked on the side of the road.
Ye Wangchuan glanced at the girl who had been in low spirits along the way and said, "You obviously don't think that way in your heart, why don't you say it out loud."
"What did you say?" Qiao Nian sat in the passenger seat, fastened her seat belt, and tilted her head to look at him: "...You mean Jiang Yao?"
Qiao Nian sat up slowly: "He and I are not the same kind of people. There are Jiang Xianrou and his mother between us, so we can never be a family. So the distance now is just right, everyone is comfortable, there is no need to break the balance."
Ye Wangchuan looked at her deeply: "Niannian, sometimes I don't know what you are thinking."
Qiao Nian tilted her head to meet his gaze and almost fell into his deep eyes.
She immediately turned her face away and took out the silver lighter from her pocket with a bit of irritability that she usually carried with her and liked to take out and play with from time to time.
While rubbing the lighter, he lowered his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Do you think I will let Jiang Xianrou out?"
Ye Wangchuan looked at her and said nothing.
Qiao Nian raised her head and shrugged at him, saying arrogantly, "I can't let her out. The reason is very simple—she almost killed the old man in order to escape from prison."
"Based on this alone, I will never let her out, and there is no need for Jiang Yao and I to 'reconcile'."
"But no matter who Jiang Xianrou is, in Jiang Yao's eyes, Jiang Xianrou is his sister. I personally sent his sister to prison. Even if we don't become enemies, we will definitely not become relatives."
"He thinks so too."
So Jiang Yao has been consciously avoiding her for so long.
At least during the time she returned to Beijing, she had never met Jiang Yao in any social occasion.
Beijing is not a big city.
Jiang Yao used to be part of this circle.
If he wants to meet her, he will meet her by coincidence once or twice.
But not even once.
Since the two families fell out, the probability of them meeting in social situations was basically zero.
It can be seen that Jiang Yao is a smart man. He knows that they should just maintain a relationship that is neither too close nor too distant, and there is no need to get too close.
"He has done this, so there is no need for me to go and reconcile with him. Firstly, there is no need. Secondly, I have never thought that my life will be complete only if my relatives are harmonious."
Many people always feel that they should not care too much in their lifetime.
Relatives in this life may just be strangers in the next.
Therefore, they try their best to maintain the so-called close relationship. Even if they are hurt in this relationship, they will comfort themselves that they are only relatives for life.
But Qiao Nian grew up in a different environment.
She has understood since childhood that relatives and loved ones are not that important, and some blood relatives are not as reliable as friends.
There is no need to force perfection.
There is another reason.
Qiao Nian's eyes turned cold. "I'm going back to Independent Continent soon. The less contact I have with Beijing, the better. The fewer people who are on good terms with me, the better."
Ye Wangchuan's eyes dimmed, and he endured it and rolled his throat, saying in a hoarse voice: "Should we go back first, or go inside for a walk?"
Qiao Nian no longer had any interest in playing, so he said, "Let's go back, Chenchen will soon wake up."
"Um."
Ye Wangchuan lowered the car window to allow air to circulate inside the car, then started the car and drove towards the Rhine.
On their way back.
Qiao Nian received a WeChat message from Ye Lan.
"Qiao Ruoqing was sentenced to five years in prison, suspended for two years."
