"Why?" Yan Jin asked.
"There's no reason, it's just like this..." Xiao Yu's expression was a little unnatural.
"What kind?"
Xiao Yu was speechless for a moment.
It's nothing like that, it's just that.
"Because you would rather hide in the turtle shell and maintain the same daily life expecting miracles than the future obtained by taking risks."
Yan Jin's words were a bit harsh, and Xiao Yu's face turned pale.
Xiao Yu knew what Yan Jin was talking about, and he also admitted that what Yan Jin said was the truth. Just now he said that he knew that Yan Jin had already investigated and found out that his life experience was not groundless, and he had already noticed the clues but did not expose them. After all, he didn't want to hide it from Yan Jin for a long time.
But Yan Jin pointed it out so bluntly that made Xiao Yu a little sad. He is already an adult, he can take responsibility for all the decisions he makes, and he also knows that there are some problems in the way he treats his family, but he doesn't need it. Others come to point out that he is wrong, and he doesn't want to be judged.
Such a strong Yan Jin made Xiao Yu feel a little strange.
Fortunately, Yan Jin changed the topic the next moment: "Fortunately, you have a very reliable lover."
"Ah?" Xiao Yu didn't turn the corner all of a sudden.
"I told you to have more confidence in me a long time ago, but you still worry about this and that all day long." Yan Jin pecked Xiao Yu's cheek.
"How can I have confidence in you? I..." Xiao Yu paused for a moment, and said out of his heart: "My stepmother came to me not long ago and said that my father entrusted him with a dream and wanted to have a grandson."
Yan Jin's smile was half a smile, not angry or dissatisfied at all.
In an instant, Xiao Yu suddenly realized the sentence that he hadn't figured out just now.
The two sentences before "Fortunately, you have a very reliable lover" are not accusing him of timidity and retreat, nor are they angry at his self-deceiving lifestyle. The meaning of these two sentences is to emphasize that "you have A very reliable lover".
That is to say, Yan Jin's overall meaning is this, fortunately Xiao Yu's lover is him, so even if he has been hiding in the turtle shell and deceptively expecting a better future, it doesn't matter, because Yan Jin will take him All imaginations become reality.
"What did you do?" Xiao Yu suddenly realized, turned his head anxiously and met Yan Jin's eyes: "Did you do something?"
Xiao Yu's tone was full of anticipation, he didn't realize it himself, but Yan Jin clearly caught it.
President Yan raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction, but he was not in a hurry to answer Xiao Yu's question directly: "This time you also made headlines, aren't you worried that your Auntie Fang has discovered our relationship?"
As soon as "Aunt Fang" came out, Xiao Yu was even more sure that Yan Jin had already contacted Ms. Fang.
"Don't worry, the circle is too far away. It's just entertainment news if it's headlines. Ms. Fang never cares about this kind of gossip. She used to pay more attention to the medical industry and bioengineering. Now she drinks tea with the aunt in the community. I can't talk about these things even playing mahjong. Speaking of it once... "
Yan Jin suddenly stopped talking. Although there was no change in his expression, the aura of "I'm very upset" had already turned into substance, and the temperature around him dropped instantly.
Xiao Yu, who was chattering, sensed something was wrong, quickly stopped the topic, restrained his joyful expression, looked at Yan Jin for a while, and then said in shock: "Hey, why are you suddenly unhappy, are you jealous?! "
Yan Jin still didn't speak, but the arms around him tightened obviously.
"Why are you jealous of everything? Are you a woman?"
"Are there any women who have been jealous of you?" Yan Jin's focus can be said to be very biased.
Now it was Xiao Yu's turn to stop talking, he was really speechless.
The two confronted each other in silence for a while, Xiao Yu was the first to lose the battle: "I just said a few more words, can you stop causing trouble?"
Ah, Yan Jin ignored him for a long time, helpless, Xiao Yu could only curry favor with his conscience and said, "Okay, okay, Ms. Fang is just my stepmother, and of course it's not as important as kissing Yan Jin in my heart." , I like you the most."
After all, offer a sweet kiss.
"But you avoided our marriage because of her." Yan Jin's eyes darkened.
Xiao Yu's body was a little stiff.
That's exactly what happened, but...
Xiao Yu felt a little wronged.
He also knew that he was so sanctimonious now, saying that he valued Yan Jin but doing the exact opposite. Even if Yan Jin asked him again if he would like to get married and get a certificate, he would still choose to refuse.
Xiao Yu understood why this happened, because he believed that Yan Jin would be willing to postpone the marriage for him, rather than betting that an old lady like Ms. Fang would compromise for his happiness.
Perhaps this is why in the end it is the loved one who hurts the most in the end, because he is proud of being favored, because he is sure that the other party will choose to compromise, because the loved one is always so confident.
Xiao Yu knows all this, but the only way he can go, he has no other way, he is so greedy, he doesn't want to lose anything, the appearance of greed makes himself feel disgusted, if he takes the wrong first step, he will go astray completely out of the way.
Seeing that Xiao Yu's expression was not right, Yan Jin flicked his forehead with his fingers: "What are you thinking?"
Xiao Yu came back to his senses all of a sudden, then shook his head blankly.
"I told you not to think wildly." Yan Jin sighed helplessly, and pinched his waist as punishment.
"Hey, itchy." Xiao Yu flinched: "You haven't answered me yet, what did you do?"
"What do you want me to do? Or, what do you want?" Yan Jin asked back.
"I..." Xiao Yu hesitated for a while, then pouted his mouth: "But wouldn't this be very cunning, and I'm going to push everything to you, obviously it's my responsibility to convince Ms. Fang."
"No, because my wish is that Xiaoyu's wish will come true." Yan Jin said.
These familiar words made Xiao Yu feel as if he had returned to that gorgeous night, when the rain of stars fell like a stream of fire, telling distant stories and miracles.
"... I hope that Ms. Fang can attend our wedding, and I hope that she can sit in the family's seat and give me a hug."
Xiao Yu's gaze was a little distracted, his words were out of control, his tone was trembling, he shrank and buried himself in Yan Jin's arms, he grabbed the fabric of Yan Jin's chest, and said in a muffled voice: "If you can do it , we will get married."
Yan Jin narrowed his eyes, and the curve of his lips showed his joyful mood.
"as you wish." …
This "business trip" would take less than a month, and the reason why it took so long was because Yan Jin did some work that was not originally scheduled.
It's not that he stayed abroad for a few more days, but that he quietly returned to the country before appearing in front of everyone several days later.
On the third day of August, Yan Jin met Fang Wanqing in a five-star hotel in downtown n.
Yan Jin was the first to arrive, and he waited for an hour before Fang Wanqing arrived so late.
On a business occasion, if someone dared to let the president of Yan Da dove for an hour, not to mention that the contract could not be signed, he might be directly blacklisted by Yan Jin for business dealings, or he might play tricks overtly or secretly.
But now that this lady has a special status, Yan Jin really didn't dare to say anything more, and could only hold back the chair for her while aggrievedly expressing that she had just arrived not long ago.
Fang Wanqing stopped three steps away from Yan Jin, and she looked at Yan Jin from a distance, as if there was a wall between them.
After a long time, she sat down slowly.
"long time no see."
Fang Wanqing spoke first.
"You are still the same as before." Yan Jin's tone was very respectful.
If there is a third person here, you will be surprised at how familiar these two are.
Needless to say, Yan Jin's identity, compared to the president of YL, he is now the owner of Gabriel, a world-class super rich man, and who is this Fang Wanqing
She is a widow whose husband died in her early years. She has no fixed income. She relies on the rent of a two-bedroom apartment in S City and squeezes out her stepson to support her son to study abroad.
No one would have thought that such two people who are so different in status and incompatible in life would be old friends.
"Just tell me what you have to say, don't continue to be polite, I know how much you hate me, I have been waiting for this day." Fang Wanqing sighed: "Recently, I have started to have nightmares again, and taking medicine is useless. I know retribution is coming, I just hope you can let my children go, they don't owe you anything."
"You misunderstood." Yan Jin comforted: "I didn't intend to come to you to pursue the matter of the year. Since you mentioned it, I will say a few more words. I don't think you need to pay anything for the matter of the year. Responsibility, you mean a small researcher, with a meager salary, obeying the arrangements above, you have done a good enough job, and I should even thank you, if you didn't violate the regulations back then and showed mercy, I'm afraid I wouldn't even Can't see you again."
"You are still as unlovable as you were when you were a child." Fang Wanqing lit a cigarette, but only held it between her fingertips.
In the dense smoke, her tone was full of vicissitudes.
"I killed too many people, they called me mother, but I'm not, I'm just an executioner... I became a researcher at the age of sixteen, oh, what an honor it was in those days, I was in junior high school At that time, I was attracted by Nanjia’s research institute. How proud I was at that time. No one in my class could compare with me. At that time, I thought that my future was to become a great scientist, or a great chemist or biologist. …”
"But I have become an executioner."
Yan Jin didn't make a sound, just quietly listening to this charming woman recall the past.
