Looking at the unfamiliar number displayed on the phone screen, Xu Nianyi hesitated for a while and connected the call. "Hello, I'm Xu Nianyi." She greeted first.
"Hello, Ms. Xu, I'm Yan Kuan." After the call was connected, Yan Kuan's characteristic soft and gentle tone came out from the receiver. His voice was just like his own appearance, very innocent and harmless.
Yan Kuan? Xu Nianyi was slightly taken aback, why did Yan Kuan call himself
"Oh, hello Yan Kuan, what can I do?" She asked politely. Although she had met him several times before, she was not very familiar with her after all.
"It's like this. I have something I want to talk to you about your mother." Yan Kuan's tone was still slow and soft, with a bit of caution.
Yan Kuan's words made Xu Nianyi even more confused. For a while, it seemed that everyone knew about Jiang Xiangru's stabbing of Gao Meihua. And it seems like everyone is trying to do something to themselves with this.
She really didn't know what Yan Kuan would do with this incident, and she didn't have the energy to guess.
"Thank you for your kindness. But I don't think it's necessary. I should handle my mother's affairs by myself. You are also busy with other things, so I don't bother you." Xu Nianyi politely refused up. Although Yan Kuan is her brother-in-law, in fact Shao Jun still doesn't like Yan Kuan. In such troubled times, she'd better not upset Shao Jun.
"Sister-in-law, don't refuse in a hurry. I just want to help you. I have no other intentions. If you believe me, I will wait for you at Green Island Coffee in half an hour." Yan Kuan finished speaking unhurriedly, then hung up phone.
The voice in the phone's receiver immediately disappeared, Xu Nian stared at the phone for a long time, and countless doubts flashed in his heart.
Do you want to meet Yan Kuan? Yan Kuan was able to call himself specifically, because he probably wanted to help. But now Shao Jun and Han Xu are following up on this matter, and even Lu Jingcheng has agreed to help, if Yan Kuan is allowed to intervene again, wouldn't it be a bit messy
After much consideration, Xu Nianyi still decided to meet Yan Kuan, because he was Shao Jun's half-brother, even if he didn't need his help, it was necessary to thank him face to face.
Before going out, she tidied up, changed into a decent beige long dress in the cloakroom full of famous brands and private customization, put on some light makeup to cover the tired face on her face, Xu Nianyi left the villa and came to the strict The green island coffee shop that Kuan agreed.
Yan Kuan still had that gentle, innocent and harmless appearance, his short yellowish hair reflected a faint golden halo under the sunlight by the window, and his soft face had a hint of innocence. smile.
After seeing Xu Nianyi, Yan Kuan stood up all the way, and very gentlemanly opened the chair to make way for Xu Nianyi.
"Miss Xu, I'm very sorry about my aunt."
Xu Nianyi smiled politely, "Thank you for your concern, but now Shao Jun is already thinking of a way."
Yan Kuan's face became a little more serious, he looked at her with some concern, and said, "Frankly speaking, I don't think big brother can handle this well, so I called you."
Xu Nian was taken aback for a moment, "What do you mean?"
"What I mean to say is that Auntie's case is full of physical evidence and video evidence. It is extremely difficult to get rid of the crime. Although the eldest brother is capable, he cannot be above the law." Yan Kuan said in a low voice. .
"If Shao Jun has no way to go above the law, then I guess you can't do anything, either?"
The corners of Yan Kuan's mouth curled up slightly, and then he chuckled, as if he was in a good mood, "Although I can't exonerate my aunt, I can save her from going to jail. You know the identity of my father, I It only takes a short time for my aunt to serve her sentence in a military prison, she can be released on medical parole, and then come out safe and sound to reunite with you, what do you think?"
Xu Nianyi's heart moved, and he said that this is a conservative method. If his mother is really sentenced and does not need to go to jail, this should be the best way.
but…
Xu Nianyi quickly calmed down again, and looked at him suspiciously: "Yan Kuan, why did you help me? Is this really what you mean?"
The smile on Yan Kuan's face obviously froze, and then he returned to a kind smile, and said in a deep thought, "Sister-in-law, you are very smart. This is indeed not what I meant, but what my father meant."
Xu Nianyi sneered, "Tell me about your conditions, or Uncle's conditions."
"The condition is that you leave Shao Jun."
"I can't do it!" Xu Nian stood up suddenly, and shouted a little excitedly: "Why do you insist on breaking us up? What kind of laws and regulations have I violated by being with Shao Jun? Why can't you tolerate us? "
Yan Kuan still had that gentle smile on his face, like a calm lake. He looked at Xu Nianyi calmly, and said unhurriedly, "Sister-in-law, I was just repeating what my father said just now. What I have to say is my own. If you are interested, how about sitting down and listening?"
Only then did Xu Nianyi sit down angrily, and looked at Yan Kuan in surprise.
"My father is indeed a bit conservative, with a bit outdated ideas, and has always held an opposing attitude in matters between you and elder brother. So there are many conflicts in words or actions, I hope you don't mind, sister-in-law."
"I mind very much! No matter who objects to my being with Shao Jun, I will mind very much!" She looked at Yan Kuan without a smile, and said seriously, "I have heard too many such words recently, but As long as Shao Jun chooses me, I will not give up on him."
A strange look flashed in Yan Kuan's eyes, but it was immediately covered by his smile, "Miss Xu, I said it, it's just my father's idea, not mine."
"Yan Kuan, you are Shao Jun's younger brother. I don't want to speak ill of you, but as far as I know, you have always obeyed your father. Is there any difference between his attitude and yours?" She couldn't help pointing out. ,
"It's true that I agree with him on many things, but I do have a different view from him on your matter, and I really want to help you."
"Why do you help me against your father's wishes? Please forgive me for being a bit incomprehensible. Counting this meeting between us, it is only the third time, right?"
"I have nothing to do with anyone for helping you, just because you are Xu Nianyi." Yan Kuan raised his eyebrows and said flatly.
Xu Nianyi suddenly felt that the Yan Kuan in front of her was suddenly different from the Yan Kuan she knew in her heart, but she couldn't tell exactly what was different.
"I'm very grateful that you want to help me, but it's really unnecessary. If my mother really can't escape this prison, it's her life. I don't want to trouble too many people because of this matter." She finished quickly After saying these words, he stood up and nodded to Yan Kuan, and then left the coffee shop as if flying.
Yan Kuan looked at Xu Nianyi's leaving back, with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, showing a treacherous smile, "No one can stop what I'm about to do. Don't worry, your troubles will be gone soon."
*
After leaving the coffee shop, Xu Nianyi still couldn't calm down for a long time.
She suddenly had a feeling of wanting to escape.
Because she felt as if she was living under the surveillance of everyone, Xu Fei, Lu Jingcheng, Li Tianyu, Yan Yanqing, and even Yan Kuan. No matter what they want to do, they can get the news immediately, and then appear in front of them in various gestures.
What is this for? She, Xu Nianyi, is not a big shot, but because she met a man named Shao Jun in a nightclub and her classmate, her life has deviated from the normal track since then.
"Wang Jing, where are you? I want to see you."
Xu Nianyi called his friend Wang Jing and invited her to a roadside food stall.
As Xu Nianyi's good friend for many years, Wang Jing knew that Xu Nianyi must have met again because something happened to her and she couldn't think about it.
Over the years, although they had rarely seen each other because of their different social status, she always remembered Xu Nianyi's goodness and always regarded Xu Nianyi as her best friend. Usually it was Xu Nian who came to her when something happened, and she would stand up and help without hesitation.
Even if she couldn't help with certain things, even if she listened to Xu Nianyi's complaints and grievances, she was willing. because
Although in the end, Xu Nianyi would not accept any of her ideas, but she will always stand by Xu Nianyi's side.
Because she thinks that as a good friend, isn't that what it should be like
After Xu Nian drank the third bottle of beer, his speech became slurred. She can't drink enough, and she is depressed, so drinking to relieve her worries will only add to her troubles.
"Wang...Wang Jing, what evil did I do, why...why did everyone hurt me?" Holding the wine bottle, she tilted her head and looked at Wang Jing beside her.
"Nianyi, stop drinking, tell me what happened?" Wang Jing asked eagerly, taking the wine bottle from Xu Nianyi's hand.
"I... I'm fine, I just miss you..." Xu Nian was drunk and dazed, grabbed Wang Jing's arm and smirked.
"Nianyi, you really can't drink anymore, I'll take you back." Wang Jing got up and was about to pull Xu Nianyi up from the chair.
Xu Nianyi waved his arms wildly to push Wang Jing away, "I won't go back... someone is watching me, I don't want to go back..."
Wang Jing sighed helplessly, reached into Xu Nianyi's bag and began to search for her mobile phone, she wanted to call Shao Jun.
"Wang...Wang Jing, come here... come and help me grab this table, it... it's going to run away!" Xu Nianyi leaned forward, almost lying on the table with his upper body, clasping the corners of the table with both hands .
"Okay, you hold on to it first, I'll come over as soon as I make a call." Wang Jing responded, found Shao Jun's phone and called.
When Wang Jing was making a phone call, a few men with colorfully dyed hair who looked like bad young men happened to pass by Xu Nianyi's table.
The leader saw that Xu Nianyi was lying on the table alone, and suddenly became lustful, walked over to sit on a seat next to Xu Nianyi, and said, "Hey, beauty, what's wrong with you? Drink too much!" Right? Do you want my brother to take you home?"
Xu Nianyi raised his eyes to look at the gangster in front of him with difficulty, and said inarticulately: "You, you too, are here to spy on me, right? You all get the fuck out of here!"
"Beauty, what are you talking about? My brother is a good man, he is like Lei Feng. This is, come, I'll take you home."
After the man finished speaking, he started to stand up and hug Xu Nianyi.
"Hey - what are you doing? Let her go!" Wang Jing heard the noise behind her, turned around and found the scene where the yellow hair was hugging Xu Nianyi, and immediately stopped her loudly.
"Who are you? Are you in charge of me helping my wife go home?"
"Are you going to let her go? If you don't let her go, I'll call the police!" Wang Jing said loudly, and took out her mobile phone.
"Hey, beauty, do you know how to use a mobile phone? Do you know the number for the police? How about my brother call for you?" Huang Mao said, put down Xu Nianyi, and started walking towards Wang Jing.
Snapped-
Huang Mao had just taken two steps and was hit on the back of the head by a beer bottle, Xu Nian held the broken mouth of the bottle in one hand, and staggered towards Huang Mao's back.
"Damn! Bastard, dare to hit me!" Huang Mao turned around immediately, and waved his hand viciously towards Xu Nianyi's face.
Snapped-
Huang Mao's wrist was suddenly firmly grasped by another powerful arm. The man's fingers were white and his knuckles were distinct. With just one hand, he grabbed the man's arm to death, making it impossible for that man to get close to Xu Nian again.
"Who the hell are you—ah—" Huangmao let out a miserable scream before he finished speaking, and at the same time there was a crisp 'click' sound.
Shao Jun's face was livid, his black eyes were extremely deep, the pupils of his eyes were dark, so dark that he couldn't see the sun, his eyes were fixed on the yellow hair, one arm was around Xu Nianyi's waist, the other was holding Xu Nianyi's waist. Huang Mao's wrist kept pressing down, and Huang Mao's body began to squat down, and finally he knelt down on the ground, screaming like a pig being killed.
Seeing that their boss was under control, Huangmao's younger brothers took out weapons such as daggers and machetes from their bodies, and rushed towards Shao Jun.
"Stop the fuck!" Shao Jun yelled violently, his sharp eyes swept across everyone's faces like sharp blades, and his sinister voice squeezed out word by word from between his teeth, "Dare you?" Touch her, I think you guys don't want to live today!"
