Chen Jing felt embarrassed and annoyed for a moment when his thoughts, which he couldn't even explain, were exposed.
He lowered his head and tried to pry open her little hands, but with a little force she started to cry.
Chen Jing and she were in a stalemate.
He was angry that she lied to him, but he hated himself even more for having no bottom line. For such a big thing, he not only didn't hit her, he didn't even lose his temper. The most hateful thing was that he was threatened by her.
"Hurry up and tell me whether you agree or not! If you don't agree, you won't be able to leave!"
Chen Jing just thought she was having fun. After all, as the eldest daughter of the Ji family, it would be easy for her to find someone to help her. Why would she need him
His face was very dark.
"Chen... Ji, Ji Daining!"
"Hey." Dai Ning responded sweetly, rubbing her cheek against his back gently, "Chen Jing, good brother, please help me."
She was very bad, deliberately hitting Chen Jing's wound. The man took a breath, and the veins on his forehead jumped. Fortunately, brother! After she stopped acting, how could she be so shameless!
"Just this one thing!"
Dai Ning smiled happily: "Okay, okay, you remember it."
She then let him go and called out, "Guzi, give brother an umbrella."
Qiu Gunan appeared out from nowhere, lowered his head and handed an umbrella to Chen Jing. Chen Jing did not take it, but walked into the rain without even looking back at Dai Ning.
The man's back stood tall in the rain, and Daning just smiled with her lips curved.
If he turned around, he would probably have completely lost his self-respect.
So when you fall in love with someone for the first time in your life, you must not fall in love with a bad woman.
Daining stretched out her hand to catch the rain. The raindrops fell on her palm, bringing a slight coolness. She felt very comfortable and relaxed.
Regarding Ji Tian's matter, he might as well try to find evidence, or simply forge evidence. Before Chen Jing became "Yan Jing", if he really took action, he could not only destroy Ji Tian, but he might also end up in jail.
I just don’t know under what circumstances would my brother be willing to go to jail
"I'm so sleepy. I should have kissed him before letting him go."
Qingtuan is absolutely amazing.
Once Dai Ning had an idea, she actively prepared. She had to admit that Ji Tian was also a powerful character. She really couldn't find any evidence to prove that it was her, so she simply forged an audio recording and planned to show it to Chen Jing later.
She couldn't deal with Ji Tian directly. In her previous life, she dealt with the heroine directly, which resulted in Ji Tian's rapid rise to fame. Instead, she made Ji Tian a pitiful victim, and everyone around her sympathized with her. She could only take a tactful approach.
Fortunately, there is good news. The message that Ji Tian wanted to send to Zhao Yu was blocked, but the eldest lady can still be unrestrained.
She had said not to ask Zhao Yu to come to Beijing, and he probably wouldn't come unless there were special circumstances.
The audio was just forged when Li Hu came to the door.
The young man's eyes were gloomy, and he looked at her with complicated eyes: "Miss Ji's family?"
Dai Ning tilted her head: "Hello."
Li Hu moved his lips and smiled for a while: "Do you believe that I really like you?"
Dai Ning curled her lips and tiptoed closer to him. She clearly saw Li Hu's Adam's apple move and his breathing stopped for a second.
Daning let go of him in boredom.
"I believe it now." She said lazily, mercilessly, "But unfortunately, I don't like you. People like you, whoever is unlucky enough to be with you, will definitely experience imprisonment, beatings, and finally you will kneel down and beg for forgiveness."
Li Hu chuckled and licked his lips: "No."
Dai Ning said confidently: "All abusive novels are written like this. A little pervert like you will do this." Qingtuan nodded in agreement. Yes, it and Dai Ning had read many novels, and they were all written like this.
"Big idiots, throw this guy out!" Dai Ning waved her hand, and a moment later, Li Hu was really thrown out by her men.
He slowly put his clothes in order, and indeed he stopped playing the affectionate and overbearing role, and spoke to the room.
"I will also go to Jing City to participate in the competition next month. See you then."
Dai Ning didn't even raise her eyelids. She suddenly thought of the silly Zhang Youying and shook her head and sighed.
"It's okay to like someone, idiot."
In June, thousands of miles away in Wudong, the red Impatiens flowers are in full bloom.
A thin young boy came over on the ferry, he was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a handsome face. As soon as he got ashore, the dark-faced man came up to greet him happily.
"Second Young Master, you're back from vacation!"
The young man laughed heartily and said, "Old Eight, where's your sister?"
The dark-faced man called "Old Eight" said, "The young lady had a fever a few days ago and didn't go to school. A Shi and Zhang Manman were taking care of her. When they heard you were back, the young lady wanted to come and pick her up, but Master Zhao wouldn't let her."
Hearing the words "Master Zhao", the boy asked hesitantly, "My brother... Is he feeling okay lately?"
"Same old, cold and indifferent. Come back and say something nice to make him happy."
The boy was the fifteen-year-old Zhao Ping. Three years ago he was a dark and malnourished boy, but now he has grown tall and thin, and looks very handsome.
Zhao Ping had a bitter face. He didn't intend to say anything nice when he came back this time. He would be thankful if he didn't provoke his brother.
Zhao Ping successfully advanced to the finals of the National Mathematics Competition, but he had to go to Beijing to participate in the finals.
For so many years, the whole Wudong knew that that place was a thorn in his eldest brother's side.
Wudong gems are world-famous and have brought in hundreds of billions of profits. Obviously, Beijing is the most prosperous place, suitable for the development of gem mines and other businesses, but my brother has never thought of setting foot in that place.
That man had been dead for three years, and no one dared to mention his past in front of him.
After all, three years ago, Zhao Yu nearly went crazy. He didn't speak for a whole month, and his eyes were empty. If his father hadn't been critically ill, his eldest brother would probably have been immersed in that snowy winter day.
The climate in Wudong has been very good in the past two years. It is spring-like all year round and there is no snow. Zhao Yu has always lived here. The island has been well developed. Schools have been built and water transportation is well developed. It is thriving.
My younger sister Zhao Anan is studying on the island.
Zhao Ping walked and muttered, feeling bitter in his heart. His elder brother was so moody that he didn't dare to mention his plan to go to the capital.
In the past, Zhao Ping would not have wanted to go, but...
Zhao Ping, who is just beginning to fall in love, likes a girl in his class. The girl's family moves to Beijing, and he promises to go see her.
If the extra points in the college entrance examination cannot make his elder brother agree to let him go to Beijing, he will forget about finding the girl in this life.
Zhao Ping is a man, so how could he go back on his word
He looked calm on the outside, but he was panicking on the inside.
As he walked into the small villa on the island, a doughy little girl rushed out happily and hugged him.
“Second brother!”
"Hey!" Zhao Ping smiled and picked up his sister. "Long time no see, An An, do you miss your brother?"
Nine-year-old Zhao Anan had fair skin and was well-fed. She didn't look skinny at all like she was when she was a child. She was still very shy, her cheeks flushed, but she nodded affirmatively: "I miss my second brother very much."
"Where's my brother?"
"Upstairs."
Zhao Ping coughed softly and said, "An An, Second Brother asks you a favor. If Second Brother talks to Big Brother during dinner and makes him angry, please help me to beg for mercy."
Zhao Anan was very curious: "What are you going to say, why did you make Big Brother angry?"
In her opinion, her brother's mood has rarely fluctuated in the past two years. He has never smiled and basically doesn't seem angry. In Zhao Anan's memory, the last time her brother lost his temper was two years ago, when a female assistant mentioned her brother's "deceased wife" and tried to seduce Zhao Yu.
The eldest brother's expression that time scared Zhao Anan, and they never saw the female assistant again.
Zhao Ping was very scared, but he hadn't seen his sweetheart for a month. Zhao Ping was hoping that the math competition would give him extra points in the college entrance examination, which was a perfectly legitimate reason.
Zhao Ping first went to the room on the first floor to check on his mother. Zhao's father had passed away a year ago, and Zhao's mother's health was gradually getting better, but she still couldn't get out of bed and had no feeling in her legs and feet.
Various experts have seen it, but health and disease are things that even money and power cannot control.
Zhao Yu was working upstairs, so Zhao Ping naturally wouldn't disturb him. Zhao Yu only came downstairs for dinner.
Zhao Ping raised his eyes and glanced at his brother quietly.
In these three years, my brother has changed the most.
The man was dressed in casual clothes, with a stern face and a pair of cold eyes. His pupils were very dark, and even though he didn't speak, the servants all lowered their heads when he went downstairs.
It took Zhao Ping a long time to find a word to describe his elder brother, which was that he was not popular at all.
He didn't look like a living person, cold and indifferent. He looked normal, but it seemed like he had lost all positive emotions.
Thinking of plucking hair from a tiger's mouth today, he felt uneasy. Looking at his mother and then at his younger sister, Zhao Ping's heart was still pounding.
Halfway through his meal, Zhao Ping remembered the expectant look in the girl's eyes before she left. He gritted his teeth and said, "Death is the beginning."
"Brother, I want to participate in the finals of the math competition!"
He thought it was very loud, but when it actually came out, it was not much louder than the hum of a mosquito.
The man drinking red wine raised his eyes and looked over.
Zhao Ping shuddered and said with his eyes closed: "The final will be held in Beijing."
The air was quiet for a moment, and even Zhao's mother paused holding the chopsticks. Zhao Anan looked at his second brother in surprise, then looked at his eldest brother worriedly, feeling nervous and uneasy.
Zhao Yu looked at Zhao Ping coldly: "Say it again."
Zhao Ping's face flushed, and he almost begged, "Brother, please let me go. This matter means a lot to me."
Zhao Yu put down his wine glass with a thud.
"Ashi." His tone was calm, with a hint of sarcasm, "Zhao Ping has become stupid from studying too much. Send him back to his room and calm him down."
Zhao Ping suddenly realized that this meant that he would be confined to his home and not even allowed to go to school.
He looked at his brother in disbelief. Mother Zhao's lips trembled: "Brother Yu..."
Zhao Anan clenched his fork and pleaded in a low voice: "Brother, Second Brother didn't mean it."
"Ashi, don't move."
A Shi hurriedly walked in from outside, thinking that the second young master was really bold, he even dared to mention that place!
Zhao Ping was in adolescence, and seeing his brother treat him like this, he didn't care about being afraid, and stood up angrily: "They are right, brother, you are crazy. It's already happened, and you still can't accept it after three years. We all saw it back then, she..." Zhao Ping gritted his teeth and couldn't say anything else, "What's the point of you deceiving yourself all the time? The more you think about it, the worse it is for you to live a good life..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhao Ping was slapped in the face.
There was a crisp sound and everyone was stunned.
Zhao Ping's cheeks swelled up almost immediately. His eyes were red and he refused to admit defeat. Facing Zhao Yu's dark and furious eyes, he gritted his teeth and ran upstairs by himself without Ashila.
Zhao Anan buried her face in her arms and bit her lip to stop herself from crying.
She, she was also very sad, she hated her second brother. Being the eldest daughter was not only a wound for her eldest brother, but also a wound for her.
Everyone was silent. Usually, when Zhao Ping and Zhao Anan returned home, the atmosphere was the most relaxed. Unexpectedly, something bad happened this time.
Zhao Yu sat down for a long time, then said calmly, "Let's eat."
Zhao Ping didn't expect that he would be detained for a full ten days, until the end of June.
During this period, his eldest brother actually did not let him out. He couldn't even eat in the first two days. It was Zhao's mother who asked someone to stuff some food into his mouth.
Zhao Ping felt very cold in his heart. He knew that his elder brother could not get over his past, but he was like a lunatic and so completely crazy that he felt very depressed.
He is Zhao Yu's younger brother, but when the fact that the eldest lady passed away was mentioned, the eldest brother still did not let him go!
Zhao Ping couldn't go to school. The girl he liked sent him a message worriedly. He could only say, "It's okay."
A few days later, Zhao Ping felt a little regretful. His elder brother was so desperate back then, and as a younger brother, he really shouldn't have offended him.
Zhao Anan slipped in to see him. Zhao Ping was like a dejected puppy. He hugged his sister and apologized in a low voice.
"An An, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. I know you and big brother... I'm sorry, it's second brother who is selfish, second brother is wrong."
Zhao Anan's eyes were red, and she patted Zhao Ping's shoulder and comforted him like a little adult.
"When Big Brother is no longer angry, he will let you go. Mother is very sad. Second Brother, please don't do this again in the future."
"Well, my second brother won't go to Beijing anymore."
After this incident, everyone could see that Zhao Yu was in a very bad mood.
Ah Shi stuffed a pile of information into Zhang Manman's arms: "My stomach hurts, can you help me pass it to Master Zhao?"
Zhang Manman didn't know what was going on and was a little nervous. She gritted her teeth and sent the information in.
After a while, she walked out with a grim look on her face.
Lao Ba shook his head: "Ashi, that bastard, actually let such a beautiful woman in to get scolded."
"Old Eight, what's wrong?"
Lao Ba touched his nose and said vaguely: "Master Zhao is in a bad mood, it's okay, it will be fine after a while, let's do more work and talk less."
As a woman who graduated from a prestigious university and has strong business skills, Zhang Manman naturally knows how to read the expressions and nod.
When Zhao Yu returned home in the evening, he saw a frail middle-aged woman standing at the door.
Mother Zhao held onto the door frame, tears in her eyes, and looked at her worriedly.
Zhao Yu paused and walked over: "Mom, why are you outside?"
"Yu'er, please forgive your brother and stop locking him up. Mother knows you feel bad. I feel bad too when you do this." Mother Zhao couldn't help it. Even though her family conditions had improved, she was still the timid, sensitive and fragile woman from Xinghua Village at heart.
She is not even fifty yet, but half of her hair is white.
Zhao Yu stared at his mother with his dark eyes for a long time, which made his mother burst into tears.
"I beg you, an old lady, please don't do this anymore. Please face the reality and live a good life, okay? Yu'er, I beg you."
Zhao Yu's fingers trembled. He had been dreaming for too long. It was time for him to wake up.
After a long time, he pushed Zhao's mother's wheelchair.
"Mom, I'll take you back." The night wind blew away his voice. After a long time, Zhao's mother finally heard his words clearly, "I promise you."
Mother Zhao suddenly covered her lips.
After being detained for eleven days, Zhao Ping was finally released.
"Brother, I'm sorry." He stammered, "I won't go."
"Go ahead." Zhao Yu said calmly, "I'll go too."
