Jian Beibei's sudden confession immediately plunged the atmosphere into awkwardness. Lu Yao stood at the dining table, feeling more cramped than when she was in the hospital ward without picking up the water glass.
Seeing Lu Yao's eyes flashing with confusion. Ji Guanxin said lukewarmly. "If you have anything to say, let's wait until after eating. We don't talk about personal matters at the dinner table."
Said. He held Lu Yao's hand. Let her sit next to you.
Ji Guanxin had already spoken, so it was difficult for others to say anything else. Jian Hongfeng glanced at Jian Beibei. He was the first to react and smiled. He said out loud: "Yes, let's eat first. Don't wait until the food is cold."
A group of people sat down alone. Jian Hongfeng had prepared red wine and white wine before, but unfortunately Ji Guanxin said he quit, so the wine was useless.
Jian Hongfeng could only enthusiastically take the initiative to pick up food for Lu Yao. Smiling and said: "Yao Yao, eat more. Don't you like braised pork and potatoes the most? I asked Aunt Zhang to make it for you."
Don’t reach out to hit the smiling person. What's more, the person who was wrong was not Jian Hongfeng, so Lu Yao still respected Jian Hongfeng as always. Respect mixed with politeness and detachment.
Jian Hongfeng was embarrassed to pick up food for Ji Guanxin rashly, so he had to say to Lu Yao, "If you pick up food for Guanxin, I don't know what he likes to eat."
Lu Yao raised her chopsticks and served Ji Guanxin with roasted cumin chicken wings. Du Hui smiled and said, "Guan Xin, try it. I marinated the chicken wings last night. Don't you like chicken?"
The future mother-in-law still has to give her face. Originally, Ji Guanxin was not willing to eat Jian's food. After hearing this, he immediately raised the corners of his lips and responded with a smile. After taking a bite, he praised Du Hui's cooking skills.
Everyone could see his obvious differential treatment, but there was nothing they could do against him.
Ji Guanxin didn't want to talk about Jian Beibei, so Jian Hongfeng could only talk to him about Lu Yao, otherwise no one would talk at the table, wouldn't it be embarrassing
But when we talk about the two of them, Jian Chengli is bound to be poked at. It's just that the Jian family is inferior now and has to take care of Ji Guanxin's face.
Jian Chengli was speechless, eating silently. In fact, he only made the gesture of eating, but in fact, what he swallowed in his stomach was just a few mouthfuls of rice.
Lu Yao is a sensitive person, and she also takes into account the feelings of people around her. She can feel it, and Jian Chengli's silence makes people... feel uncomfortable. But what could she say? What can be done? Since she couldn't give him what he wanted, it was destined that the two of them wouldn't even be friends or family in the future.
While Ji Guanxin was chatting with Du Hui and Jian Hongfeng, he paid attention to the actions of Lu Yao and Jian Chengli on the table.
She has been talking a lot lately, but today she is also particularly silent. Is it because she feels awkward seeing Jian Chengli
The people at the table really have different thoughts.
This meal is destined to be a banquet, but it is strange for the host to be led by the guests.
Everyone didn't know what to eat, so after a while, everyone put away their chopsticks.
Jian Hongfeng couldn't talk to Ji Guanxin about Jian Beibei rashly, so he had informed Du Hui in advance and asked her to talk to Ji Guanxin. Lu Yao thought of this, and Ji Guanxin also wanted it.
Ji Guanxin has already thought of his words and is just waiting for a suitable opportunity, and this opportunity is...
"Yao Yao, help me."
This was said by Jian Chengli.
He wanted to stand up from the chair, maybe because his legs were still inconvenient, so he called Lu Yao.
After Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, she stood up and came to his side. She felt very calm, so she held one of Jian Chengli's arms with both hands and helped him up from the chair.
He didn't say hello to anyone, just walked upstairs. Lu Yao supported him and said nothing.
Seeing the two of them going upstairs, Jian Hongfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Jian Chengli still couldn't let go of Jian Beibei and still wanted to talk to Lu Yao.
It's just... He secretly glanced at Ji Guanxin's expression again, fearing that Ji Guanxin would misunderstand, so he became even more unhappy.
But Ji Guanxin's expression was as usual, he didn't even look at Lu Yao and Jian Chengli, he just smiled and chatted with Du Hui.
Upstairs, Lu Yao helped Jian Chengli back to the room. Jian Chengli sat beside the bed, and Lu Yao helped him put the crutch within his reach.
He remained silent, and Lu Yao said bluntly: "You have to tell me about Jian Beibei."
Not a question, but a statement.
When Jian Chengli heard this, his heart felt inexplicably. He wanted to say it, but he didn't know how to say it.
Finally, he raised his eyes and looked at Lu Yao. Jian Chengli's black pupils were filled with her image. He asked instead, "If I ask you to forgive Beibei, will you blame me?"
Lu Yao was not surprised that Jian Chengli would say that, so she replied calmly: "How could it be? Jian Beibei is your biological sister."
The conscience of heaven and earth, she definitely did not mean to be sarcastic by her words, she was just saying what should be taken for granted. But after Jian Chengli heard this, he frowned slightly and felt a sudden pain in his heart.
He wanted to explain to her, but found that there were so many words that it was unnecessary to speak.
After all, he still wronged her for Jian Beibei's sake, right? Even though he knew that Jian Beibei did something wrong, he still chose to side with Jian Beibei, just like Jian Hongfeng and Zhou Wanping.
Now that she has Ji Guanxin and someone to rely on, she still feels aggrieved in her heart, right
Jian Chengli could understand Lu Yao's mood, so he felt sorry for her and hated himself even more. In the end, he still chose family ties.
Lu Yao saw Jian Chengli looking at her, his eyes full of pain and struggle, but said nothing. She sighed secretly, and then said: "Don't worry, I don't care about anyone's face, but if you ask, I will still let Jian Beibei go. I have not forgiven her, but she is your biological sister, so I It won't hurt her."
Lu Yao's words expressed all her gratitude to Jian Chengli. Yes, she was just grateful. Now she wanted to repay him for taking care of him for so many years, so even if Jian Beibei was so wrong, she would still advise Ji Guanxin and tell him to be noble and not hurt Jian Chengli's only sister.
Jian Chengli didn't know Lu Yao's feelings. She loved Ji Guanxin, but she no longer had any nostalgia for him.
After all, he personally killed the last bit of good things he had in her heart for the sake of the so-called flesh-and-blood affection.
This was his own choice, so Jian Chengli couldn't blame anyone. He had thousands of words to say. When the words came to his lips, he moved his lips and didn't make a sound for several times. After a long time, he squeezed out two words in a low voice. Words, "Thank you."
She repaid his love in this way. What else could he say besides thanking her
When Lu Yao heard this, she could only remain calm in her heart. Thank you, it's better than sorry.
It's not good for the two of them to be in the same room without saying a word, so Lu Yao said softly: "You need to take good care of your legs to avoid any sequelae in the future. I'm going down, you can rest."
After Lu Yao finished speaking, she turned around and walked out.
Suddenly Jian Chengli's voice came from behind, "Yao Yao..."
Lu Yao paused, and her heart trembled slightly, not because of emotion, but because she was afraid that he would say something that would make it difficult for her to answer.
Taking a breath secretly, she turned around pretending to be calm, looked at him and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Jian Chengli looked at Lu Yao, suppressing the pain in his eyes, opening his lips and saying, "Do you love Ji Guanxin?"
This question... Lu Yao almost didn't think about it. She nodded and replied: "Of course, why else would I want to marry him?"
Not why you married him, but why you wanted to marry him. One word difference revealed her true thoughts in her heart.
Jian Chengli looked at her, slowly raised the corners of his lips, and finally said with a slight smile: "Okay, I will take good care of myself and attend your wedding."
Lu Yao smiled and said, "Well, I will go back to Winter City in two days. When I come back, I will come and see you."
It was rare for the two of them to chat calmly like this. In the past, either he made her angry, or Lu Yao had a cold war with him. Anyway, there were never good times. Now we have finally returned to peace, but it is the bridge returning to the bridge, the road returning to the road, and each is at peace.
Seeing Lu Yao turn around and leave, Jian Chengli felt a lump in his throat when the door closed. At the same time, his nose was sore and his vision suddenly blurred.
Clutching the sheets underneath him tightly, he gritted his teeth and made no sound. It turns out that his heart can hurt so much that he can't even breathe.
In fact, what he wanted to ask Lu Yao just now was not whether she loved Ji Guanxin, but whether she had ever had a crush on him in so many years, even for a second
If he happened to tell her, I love you, at the moment when she was attracted, would she plunge into his arms, and from then on, he would be the one supporting her in the world
Lu Yao left Jian Chengli's room and breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously.
She thought Jian Chengli would ask her if she had ever liked him. So how would she answer? Should you tell him honestly or lie to him
Fortunately, fortunately, he didn't ask.
Many people just pass by like this; many things are just like this in the bottom of my heart; I forget who said this: If you love her, just tell her boldly. Don't think that the other person will know what you are thinking. , Actually I love you, but you don’t know it. =半^FU##生-/;ｗｗｗ.{ban^fu][ｓsheng].comｍ
Jian Chengli will never know in his life that Lu Yao has loved him for eight years; nor will he know that it was because of him that the marriage between Lu Yao and Ji Guanxin happened.
For such a long time, he had countless opportunities to make Lu Yao his, but because of his repeated temptations, he still lost her.
Now that Lu Yao has found his destination, he is left alone to suffer the pain of not getting what he wants.
Lu Yao came downstairs and saw Ji Guanxin sitting on the sofa in the living room, opposite Jian Hongfeng and Du Hui. The three of them were chatting about something.
She walked over and Ji Guanxin saw her and said with a smile, "Is your brother okay?"
Lu Yao saw that his expression was unchanged, and she was still wondering in her heart that he was really good and bad.
But she didn't expect that all Ji Guanxin wanted to do was ask Jian Chengli to mention it to her. In this way, Jian Chengli really had no nostalgia for Lu Yao at all.
