I don't know how long it took, Wen Jianning took a deep breath, walked to Jianxiu and sat down, and comforted her softly: "It's not that I don't want it...... It was you who chose him, and he chose you. There has never been any such thing between me and Mr. Yan. There wasn't before, and there won't be, and you're going to be a couple. ”

Seeing that Xiuxiu was probably tired of crying, she raised her tearful eyes to look at her, still suspicious: "What you said, is it true?"

Wen Jianning smiled: "It's true." ”

Jianxiu was like a three- or four-year-old child, and immediately believed her words, and said a little flustered: "I'm sorry Jianning, I was impulsive just now...... I have no ill intentions. ”

Wen Jianning still just smiled: "I know." ”

She didn't know how much of their conversation she had listened to, but she believed that there were some things that she had always known, but she was just deceiving herself. Seeing that Xiu only wanted her to give an attitude, she also gave it according to her hope, that's all.

Jianxiu gradually collected her tears, and asked uncertainly: "Jianning, we will still be good sisters in the future, right?"

"Of course, always. ”

But they both know very well that the relationship between the two will never go back to the way it used to be.

The two of them had nothing else to say, and they only felt embarrassed to stay here any longer. Jianxiu wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief, got up from the bench, and hesitated to leave.

Wen Jianning gently pushed her: "Go ahead, he'll wait for you outside." ”

Seeing that Xiu finally broke into tears and smiled, he waved goodbye to her and walked briskly towards the outside of the church.

Outside, there are people of her choice waiting for her.

When her figure completely disappeared at the door, Wen Jianning sat down on the bench, tilted her head and closed her eyes and leaned on the back of the chair behind her, only to feel that her body was heavy and tired as never before.

I don't know how long later, there were footsteps in the church, and they stopped beside her.

When she opened her eyes, she realized that she had come to see Wan at some point.

I haven't seen her for more than a year, and her former rival is still the same, her chin is always higher than others, she is always beautiful, delicate and proud, and she can't see that she has been hurt not long ago.

Jianwan sat down on the bench at a distance from her and asked, "Have you explained it clearly to Jianxiu?"

When Wen Jianning and Jianxiu were talking, she obviously knew something from Yan Tingchen, who was waiting outside.

"Why are you suddenly here, don't tell me it's just a coincidence. ”

Wen Jianning frowned and looked at her: "You reported the news?" Wen Jianwan, can you do something above board." ”

She was deceived by Yan Tingchen in private, and then Jianxiu came in a hurry, and Jianwan also followed, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a coincidence.

Jian Wan sneered: "Could it be that I have done something unseemly? At least I didn't meet my sister's fiancé in private, and I didn't fight with my sister for a man." ”

Wen Jianning didn't look over, and said coldly: "I don't want to quarrel with you." ”

Although she had a clear conscience, she didn't want to explain to someone like Jianwan who casually reversed black and white.

Neither of them spoke, and there was silence in the church.

After a long time, I saw Wancai and said in a stiff tone: "A friend of mine saw that Yan Tingchen seemed to be coming to the church to meet someone, and asked someone to call me to tell me about it." I just thought that Yan Tingchen had another woman outside, and I wanted to remind her. ”

As a result, I didn't expect it to be Wen Jianning, and I didn't expect that Jianxiu would have such a big reaction.

Wen Jianning didn't expect her to explain, and looked at her in surprise.

Seeing that Wan didn't turn her head, she still raised her chin, as if sensing her gaze, and snorted coldly.

It's been about a year or so, and I'm a little different from before.

Wen Jianning thought for a while before asking, "How did Jianxiu learn to smoke now, and that person taught her?"

This question is obviously not clear to Jianwan, so he only shook his head: "It's not easy to learn well, and it's only a matter of three or two days to learn badly, who knows." ”

Wen Jianning's brows furrowed even tighter: "You don't stay with her all day, why don't you look at her." ”

"It's my aunt and her who have been with her all day," Jian Wan immediately retorted, "She's been out with her aunt and them more than when she was with me this year, so I can control it." And she has a big temper recently, it's good that she doesn't have seizures on weekdays, but when she has an attack, she will turn the world upside down. I thought she could suppress her temper with you, but I didn't expect everyone to be treated the same. ”

When Fang Cai and Jianxiu confronted each other, Wen Jianning vaguely felt that Jianxiu's reaction was too excited, and his expression was too haggard, but he didn't have time to think about it for a while. Now after listening to Jianwan's words, I know that the original Jianxiu has changed so much in the past year or so.

Jianwan suddenly sighed and said, "It's not easy for her, no matter what she does to you, you should be more considerate of her." ”

Wen Jianning smiled bitterly when she heard this: "I know, I won't really be angry with her." ”

"What do you know, you don't understand at all," Jianwan just sneered at her words, but her tone gradually became heavier, "My aunt is getting older, and her temper is getting worse and worse. In the past year, you have been suspicious all day long because of your departure, and everyone's life is very difficult. I'm better with the others, and I'm the most bullied in the family when I see embroidery. Maybe that's why she's in a hurry to settle her own affairs earlier. ”

Wen Jianning barely cheered up: "But Yan Tingchen is not a good match, and there are aunts and aunts who are eyeing each other, seeing that the embroidery continues like this, something will happen sooner or later." After I leave, I will ask you to help me pay more attention to her condition. ”

Seeing Wan said arrogantly: "I'm afraid I can't do this." ”

Wen Jianning raised her head and watched her get up from the bench with her handbag, as if she was planning to leave here, "You'd better figure it out first, people are about to get engaged and form pairs, and I am the one who should be taken care of." After a while, I may have to go to Shanghai, and I may not know where I will go to relax, and I can't always be an old mother behind her. ”

Although her words were not good, Wen Jianning knew that it was also true.

Seeing that Wanwan's current situation is not as good as before, she has no boyfriend Lu Jiajun, and sooner or later she will have to accept the marriage arranged by the family. It is impossible to stay by Jianxiu's side all the time, not to mention that she may not be able to stop the calculations of the elders of the Wen family.

She hesitated and said, "Then can you help Aunt Mei Shan to see the embroidery more, after all, the embroidery is also what she has seen since she was a child." ”

The last time she escaped from the Mid-Levels Villa, Mei Shan helped them hide Wen Jingshu, which should be on their side. If Mei Shanken was in it, the situation of Jianxiu would not be so worrying.

A strange look appeared on Jianwan's face: "She herself is too difficult to protect herself, where can she still have the kung fu to take care of others." ”

Listening to her, Wen Jianning knew that Mei Shan was not having a good time these days.

A few months ago, my aunt, Wen Jingshu, had a hot fight with a British doctor. I never thought that the Englishman was eating in the bowl and looking at the pot, and when he turned around, he went to hook up with Mei Shan. One day, the three of them went swimming near the Repulse Bay Hotel. Xu was too angry when these two people flirted and scolded, and after coming back, Wen Jingshu scolded Huaidi in the villa and made a lot of fire, listening to what she said, she actually wanted to send Mei Shan back to the old mansion in Huaicheng. In the end, I don't know what Mei Shan did to apologize in private, so that Wen Jingshu dissipated her anger, and finally stopped mentioning the matter of sending her back to Huaicheng.

Afterwards, the two were affectionate and affectionate like sisters, but after such an experience, everyone saw that the relationship between the two of them was not as good as before.

Wen Jianning was even more silent when she heard this, only to see that Wan said that the villa in the middle of the mountain is not as good as before, and she thought that it was just that Wen Jingshu's temper had flare up again recently. But now even a smart person like Mei Shan is living in such a difficult situation, and it is conceivable to see them trembling and begging for a living under their aunt like walking on thin ice.

She thought for a moment and said to Jianwan, who was about to leave, "You...... Take care of yourself too. ”

This sentence seemed to poke a hornet's nest, and when she saw Wan, she turned her head to glare at her, but tears quickly flowed from her eyes.

Her sudden emotional outburst made Wen Jianning a little at a loss, and she didn't know why her polite words actually caused the eldest lady to sobble and tell her about Lu Jiajun.

However, when she said this, Wen Jianning knew that it was indeed as she guessed. Lu Jiajun betrayed Jianwan, he didn't even say hello, and turned around and got engaged to Miss Zhao. As for when the two hooked up and when they met their parents, Jianwan didn't know anything about it, and even sent a temper at Lu Jiajun three or two days before seeing the marriage news.

And this time, Lu Jiajun never came to coax her again.

Seeing that Wan was only going to dry him again at first, and when the nerd came to his senses, he would naturally come back. After a few days, when I saw the news of his engagement in the newspaper, I felt like a bolt from the blue, and I was dizzy and wanted to go to Lu Jiajun to argue with her, but Wen Jingshu asked her to stop her and remind her not to make everyone look ugly. It took a few days to barely recover from the heavy blow. But forcing a smile does not mean that this matter can be revealed like this, and when she saw Wan mentioning it, she was still very excited: "Why is he, why is he doing this to me!"

If Lu Jiajun couldn't stand her temper and broke up early, even if Jianwan was not angry for a while, she also had her own pride, and it would be just a matter of being angry, but he silently got along with Jianwan's sworn enemy, and simply stomped her face on the ground, making her a laughing stock in the whole circle. Overnight, everyone was watching her jokes, not only her so-called girlfriends were knocking on the side to inquire about the situation, but even the sympathetic eyes of Jianxiu and Mei Shan made her uncomfortable.

The people who said it were indignant, and people who heard it also felt a lot of emotion. More than a year ago, if someone told her that Jianwan would help her in a critical moment, or would lie on her shoulder and cry like now, Wen Jianning would only think that person should go to a psychiatrist. But now, she just patted Jianwan's back gently, as if coaxing a child.

After a long while, Jianwan's tears gradually stopped.

After her reason gradually returned, she realized that she had actually lost her ugliness in front of Wen Jianning, the person she hated the most. She immediately pushed Wen Jianning away, distanced herself from her, wiped her face indiscriminately, and asked hatefully, "You look at me like this, are you very proud?"

If it were the same as before, her sharp-toothed appearance would definitely provoke Wen Jianning to ridicule her.

But when she was able to escape from the villa in the middle of the mountain, she had already accepted the affection of seeing Wan, and now seeing Wan like this, she really couldn't bear to say anything about falling into the well, so she could only say in a good voice: "How dare I, I am a rat crossing the street here now, and I have to hide when I go out, how can I be proud." ”

Originally, Jianwan was going to use it to stab her, but now Wen Jianning said it herself, and Jianwan didn't appreciate it, she only felt that this guy was as annoying as ever, and she snatched her words, and glanced at her viciously, and said in a sour tone: "But Miss Wen San has extraordinary means, and everywhere she goes, there are people vying to help you save the day, which we can't compare." ”

Wen Jianning knew that she had been strong since she was a child, and she was better than others in everything, but she had planted such a big heel in marriage, and she could hide a lot of unhappiness in her heart. But because she is strong, she doesn't want Wen Jingshu and those people to look down on her, and she can't rely on Jianxiu, who has changed her temperament recently, so she can only hold it in her heart until this moment before it breaks out, so she doesn't care about her anymore.

Wen Jianning had no choice but to ask: "Where are you going to relax?" Europe, or the United States?"

Seeing that Wan glared at her, she said angrily: "I want to go to those good places to spend a vacation, but my family is willing to put me so far away." After all, with your experience, they are only afraid that the ducks that have been raised for so many years will fly again when they see the pond outside, and at most they will only let me go around the country. ”

Wen Jianning was speechless by these words, no matter what she said, her running away from home at the beginning did cause trouble to Jianwan and them. Her heart moved, and she suddenly had an idea: "It just so happens that I will not stay in Hong Kong for too long this time, and I will go back to the mainland to go back to school again after a while." Do you want to be my companion? Let's go together and go to the mainland to see the great rivers and mountains. ”

Jianwan looked at her coldly: "If I run away with you, can you provide me with food and clothing, or can you ask your good cousin to help come up with another sum of money to let me cut off relations with the Wen family again?"

Wen Jianning opened his mouth, wanting to explain that the money was not from Wen Baiqing. But after thinking about it, she felt that there was no need to tell Jianwan about this, so she only said: "If it really comes to this point, we will slowly figure out a way to deal with the money, as long as you are willing to go." ”

Wen Jianwan only sneered at this: "You don't come to fool me, you are shameless, and your own affairs are discredited and known to everyone in Shanghai and Hong Kong, I still want to be embarrassed." It's just a stinky man, who just makes me lose face, and wants me to leave in disgrace. Sooner or later, I'm going to make them regret it!"

As soon as she looked at her appearance, Wen Jianning knew her words, and she couldn't listen to her for half a minute.

But if you can listen to people's persuasion, maybe it won't be Wen Jianwan.

The two didn't talk speculatively, and in the end, Jianwan left first, and said that he didn't want to meet Wen Jianning again in the future.

After returning to Zhong's house, Wen Jianning's mood was very low, and he didn't even have much appetite for dinner.

On this trip back to Hong Kong, whether it was to see embroidery or to see Wan, she could not persuade either of them.

She was once infinitely happy that she had escaped, but now that she looked back, the sisters she grew up with were still stuck in the mud, and she didn't even want to struggle and call for help, which made her feel that she had failed.

The mother and daughter of the Zhong family saw that she was in a bad mood and exchanged glances at the dinner table.

Soon after the meal, Mother Zhong knocked on Wen Jianning's door.

Wen Jianning invited her to sit down on the chair, and listened to her ask: "Is it that tonight's food is not delicious, or is there something on your mind?" You might as well talk to your godmother, although it may not be able to help you, but if you talk, maybe you will feel better."

Zhong Hui's mother was very kind and gentle, but Wen Jianning still couldn't open her heart like Mr. Qi, she could only swallow and spit out some things about their sisters over the years.

Zhong Mu listened quietly, and only finally persuaded Wen Jianning: "Everyone has their own lives, let them go." Although they are your sisters, there is no reason for you to worry about their future as a sister. ”

Wen Jianning also understood this truth, but he couldn't get around this hurdle in his heart for a while.

Hearing that Mother Zhong also persuaded her, she slowly let go of her thoughts.
