That night, I sat on the sofa diagonally across from Kuang Yiyang. He smoked all night, and I talked to him a lot under the smoke.
I told him frankly that I really didn't love him; he also told me frankly that he beat Chen Wenhang because he heard Chen Wenhang tell others after drinking too much that he had slept with Luo Xiangdong's woman, which was me.
I told Kuang Yiyang, "I'm not angry at all, because I don't care about him at all. Now that he is dead in front of me, I might just call his family and tell his family to collect the body."
I also said to Kuang Yiyang: "The older I get, the fewer people I care about. I don't want to lose you."
Kuang Yiyang never mentioned forgiving me and Luo Xiangdong. I don't expect him to forgive me. I only hope he can forgive Luo Xiangdong.
I said: "You have only known me for more than four years, but you and Luo Xiangdong have known each other for twenty-two years. No matter what he has done wrong or hurt you, he will always be your brother-in-law and your relative. I hope you I can forgive him."
Kuang Yiyang remained silent. I thought he wouldn't answer me. But after a long time, so long that I almost forgot what I said in the previous sentence, he suddenly said softly: "You really love my uncle, right?"
I slowly turned my head to look at Kuang Yiyang. He didn't look at me. He just reached out and put out the end of the last cigarette in the ashtray, then got up and walked to the master bedroom.
He said: "I have overcome my drug addiction and want to sleep. You can go back too."
I stood up instinctively, feeling a little dizzy. When I glanced out from the corner of my eye, it was already dawn.
When I came to the door of the master bedroom, Kuang Yiyang was already lying on the bed and wrapped himself in a quilt. I said, "I went out to buy breakfast, what do you want to eat?"
Kuang Yiyang whispered: "I don't want to eat it."
I said, "Then you go to sleep, I'll wait for you outside."
Kuang Yiyang said: "You go, I want to sleep alone for a while."
I was still worried in my heart, so I hesitated and didn't move. After a few seconds, Kuang Yiyang said again: "I'll call you when I get up."
Hearing this sentence, I was inexplicably relieved, because I felt that he was returning to be a good person.
I said, "Then I'll leave first. You have a good rest. When you get up, call me and I'll have dinner with you."
Presumably few people except me can understand my feelings for Kuang Yiyang. He loves me, but I only regard him as a younger brother, not a friend, but a younger brother.
I feel sorry for him, I will be angry when I see him doing something wrong, and even more sad when I see him retaliating against us in unrighteous ways.
Luo Xiangdong said that he valued family ties more, which I didn't understand before. And if I could have foreseen everything today, I would not have forced Luo Xiangdong to promise me anything.
I really can't talk about love while stepping on the tears of my loved ones.
It was only around 6:50 in the morning when we left the hotel. I took out my muted phone and looked at it. The most missed calls were from Ji Guanxin, sixty-seven in total.
I frowned slightly, because thinking about the photo and not sleeping all night made me feel a little nauseous.
In this life, I just want to find a man who won't cheat and have a normal relationship. Why is it so difficult
Seeing that it was almost time to go to work, I simply didn’t go home and took a taxi directly to the travel agency.
As soon as I walked in, everyone in the club looked at me. I thought something was wrong with me. Could it be that I felt very old after not sleeping all night
Just as he was thinking about it, a person came out of the reception room, it was Xu Yifan. He quickly came to me and said in a low voice: "Zijin, your boyfriend is here."
I was stunned, but I didn't say anything.
Xu Yifan said: "He has been here for a long time. He just asked me where you moved to. I said I didn't know. His face didn't look very good."
I walked straight to the reception room, reached out and pushed open the door, and without exception I saw that familiar face.
Ji Guanxin was sitting on the sofa directly opposite, wearing a dark gray deerskin short coat from Loewe with a white round-neck sweater underneath. I also have this coat, it’s a couple’s style, I bought it with him when we were shopping in the mall.
Seeing me pushing the door open, Ji Guanxin stood up. As he walked towards me, he frowned and said with an unhappy look on his face: "Where have you gone? How many calls have I made to you? It doesn't matter if you don't answer the phone or text messages, it doesn't count if you move." What do you mean?"
"Liang Zijin, you have become more capable. Do you know that I have gone crazy looking for you?"
He looked so menacing that I almost thought he was going to hit me.
I thought Ji Guanxin's first words when he saw me were to explain what happened between him and Zhou Mengyi in Japan, but I didn't expect... He scolded me in full.
It was so unexpected that I lost all my anger, only surprise.
Looking up at his handsome face full of irritability, after a few seconds, I deliberately replied to him in a calm and distant tone: "What do you want from me?"
In fact, I am quite a bad person. I know how to anger someone. Sure enough, when I finished speaking, Ji Guanxin took a deep breath and stared at me as if he was going to eat me up in minutes.
Two seconds later, he said aloud: "Do you want to make me angry to death?"
The angrier he got, the calmer I became. Looking back at him calmly, I said, "Why am I angry with you? If you are not in Japan with Zhou Mengyi to enjoy cherry blossoms and go to the mall, why are you coming back to Night City to find me? I am not as obedient as Zhou Mengyi. If you want to hear good things, just go to her.”
After saying that, I stepped forward.
Actually, I wanted to sit on the sofa for a while. I didn't sleep all night last night and my nerves were tense. On the way here by car, I felt like I was going to faint.
But just as I took a step forward, Ji Guanxin suddenly raised his hand and grabbed my arm. He was so strong that he was really angry.
I wasn't happy anymore, so I frowned and glared at him and said, "Let go!"
Ji Guanxin didn't say anything, and immediately took out his cell phone from his coat, not knowing who to call.
I stared at him, not sure what he was going to do, until a few seconds later, he took his mobile phone and said: "Mom, I'm here with Liang Zijin, you tell her."
Before I could figure out the situation, Ji Guanxin had already handed me the phone. All I can think about is his words: Mom.
Without reaching out to pick it up, I looked at Ji Guanxin with raised eyebrows and whispered, "What are you doing?"
Ji Guanxin simply pressed the external voice button and said, "Mom, Liang Zijin is listening, tell her what is going on between me and Zhou Mengyi."
A woman's voice, whose age was audibly blurred, came from the phone. She said gently and elegantly: "Hello, Miss Liang."
I was stunned. I was completely stunned. I was stunned for less than two seconds. I rushed to the shelf and said repeatedly: "Hello, hello aunt, I am Liang Zijin."
"Hello, I am Ji Guanxin's mother."
"Ah... Auntie, I'm listening..." His face was red and his neck was thick. I couldn't even see Ji Guanxin. I just stared at the phone in his hand nervously.
Ji Guanxin said to me in an elegant and easy-going manner: "Ms. Liang, Guanxin told me that you misunderstood the relationship between him and Mengyi, and seemed to know that he appeared in Japan with Mengyi. I want to represent Guanxin Tell me a few words, can you believe me?"
I was so embarrassed that I kept saying, "Auntie, tell me, I believe you."
"Guan Xin's second brother and second sister-in-law live in Canada all year round. His second sister-in-law had a miscarriage before due to poor health, so our whole family took this pregnancy and birth very seriously. I asked Guan Xin's sister to call him that day. He asked him to come to Canada. Later I heard that Guan Xin seemed to be accompanying you, so he came the next day. "
"I assure you, Guan Xin definitely didn't lie to you. Going to Japan was my impromptu idea, and because Mengyi had been familiar with Guan Xin since childhood, I took her with me. I don't know how you found out that Guan Xin and Guan Xin were together. Mengyi is in Japan, I just want to say that I was there at the time, and Guan Xin has already mentioned you to the whole family, and I was planning to wait for you to be free and ask you to meet and have a meal together. "
Ji Guanxin interrupted midway: "Mom, tell Liang Zijin, do I like Zhou Mengyi?"
Ji Guanxin's mother's pleasant voice came over the phone, and she said with a faint smile: "Ms. Liang, you are the first girlfriend that Guanxin has officially mentioned to the whole family in so many years. I also like the bracelet you gave me to my little granddaughter. Because our family has always had a good relationship with the Zhou family, Mengyi is like my goddaughter. It’s her business to like Guan Xin, and Guan Xin likes you. I hope you don’t misunderstand.”
"As soon as he heard that you were unhappy, Guan Xin rushed to the airport overnight. He didn't have a ticket back to Night City right away. He made a special transfer from Vancouver to Chicago, and then came back to Night City from Chicago. It's not like I, a mother, favor my son. , Guan Xin is really good to you.”
Ji Guanxin is so cruel that he even moved his mother out.
His mother always spoke in a very kind tone, but in the last sentence, I could tell that she felt sorry for Ji Guanxin and felt that I had done something wrong.
I hurriedly said: "Auntie, please go out of your way to explain this to me. I'm really sorry."
She said: "It doesn't matter, as long as you don't misunderstand Guan Xin. He has a bad temper and is impatient sometimes. You have to be more tolerant when you are with him."
"No, it's my fault..."
I have never even met Ji Guanxin’s mother, and we talked for nearly ten minutes.
In the end, it was Ji Guanxin who took the initiative and said, "Okay, Mom, just explain it to her clearly. This will save her from playing tricks on me like a donkey. I'll give up."
"You kid, don't be so impatient all the time. If you have something to say, say it properly."
"Oh, I see."
Ji Guanxin hung up the phone, and I instinctively breathed a sigh of relief.
The first thing he did after putting away his mobile phone was to look at me condescendingly, with a look that held the peak of morality, and said arrogantly: "Did you hear that? Is that what you think? You still don't answer my call, and you don't reply to me." SMS, moving, why don’t you go to heaven?”
I looked up at him with mixed emotions.
After a pause for five seconds, I became a little annoyed and couldn't help but raise my voice: "You should have told me if you were with your mother. I asked you that day and you were hesitant. Who knows what's going on with you?!"
