Chapter 141: Hearts and Mouths Are Inconsistent
Chapter 141 Hearts and Mouths Are Inconsistent
The next day, Ji Yanxin held an important meeting, and in addition to the important members of the gang, Qi Yun and Yang Zhijian were also invited to participate
The meeting was mainly to discuss how Qi Yun would go to meet the golden retriever as caught by Jian Bing, and how to ensure his safe escape
Qi Yun knew that the golden retriever was just running errands, and the mastermind behind him must have come for the batch of jade back then, but for various considerations, he did not tell him frankly
On the one hand, he wants to keep the jade, and on the other hand, he has a deep understanding of a truth - wealth is a life-killing knife, and if you want to save your life, you must keep the secret
He believes in Ji Yanxin's character, but he can't guarantee that everyone around him won't forget his righteousness, for the safety of his son Qi Hong, he would rather bring the whereabouts of this wealth into the coffin and become an eternal secret
This task is not trivial, it was decided that Ji Yankun and Xia Jinzhong would go down the mountain with them, and as an internal response, Ji Yanxin would lead the brothers to answer at any time
As soon as he heard that there was no one in the list of going down the mountain, Yang Zhijian was anxious, and kept gesturing with both hands, Ji Yanxin didn't understand his body language, and told Xia Jinzhong to bring a pen and paper
Yang Zhijian wrote on the paper: I want to go down the mountain with them, and I will be a golden retriever
"No!" Jian Bing categorically refused
Yang Zhijian angrily drew a big question mark on the paper
"The person you fought with when you saved the pillar was called Xizi, he was a close confidant of the Golden Retriever, it was not appropriate for you to go, he could recognize you and you went, not only did he throw himself into the net, but he would also startle the snake" Jian Bing said the reason, which made Yang Zhijian unable to refute
He suddenly felt depressed, he thought that he could take this opportunity to eradicate the golden retriever and avenge Ah Huang, and after that, he could leave, but now, he could only watch the opportunity slip away
"Mr. Yang, you still stay and pick them up with me" Ji Yanxin never thought of letting Yang Zhijian take the lead from beginning to end, he was not a jealous person, although the matter between him and Juan'er did make him feel uncomfortable, but he preferred to use fair competition to deal with the problem
There was no other way, Yang Zhijian had no choice but to nod unwillingly and promise
In order to avoid the suspicion of the golden retriever due to the short time, the operation time was pushed back by two days, and everything was unpredictable, except for the big deployment, the details could only be acted on
……
Everyone is busy, only Juan'er feels that the idle pillar is a child after all, when she doesn't see her mother, she thinks about it day and night, it's good at this time, and she is all over the mountains with Qi Hong
After Qi Hong's fall from the cliff, Ji Yanxin clearly forbade them to frolic in the back mountain, this prohibition order only had a role in the pillar and Qi Hong for a month, and after that, they healed their scars and forgot the pain, especially the pillar, completely forgetting the taste of the whip
Qi Hong was naturally afraid, and no longer dared to approach the edge of the cliff, but only played in a slightly flat place, and refused to chase the footsteps of the pillar anymore
As soon as the two children ran, Juan'er sat in the room in a daze bored, although she didn't close her eyes all night, but she didn't feel sleepy at all
The heart is like numbness, no matter how you think about it, you can't figure it out, Ji Yanxin - Ma Xuan'er, Yang Zhijian...... It was so complicated that she didn't know how to face it, and the thought of looking down and not looking up made her feel timid
"Sister-in-law, big brother, please go for a while!" Ji Yankun shouted as he stood outside the house
"Got it" Juan'er went out in response, speechless in the face of this face that looked like Ji Yanxin
He didn't understand why the two of them wanted to make their faces indistinguishable, let alone whether their faces were like Jian Bing's artificial skin, or-
Ji Yankun saw Juan'er's uncomfortable expression, turned around and took the first step, his heart was also very complicated, he obviously had something to say, but he couldn't say a word
Juan'er entered the house, and everyone left together after greeting each other, leaving only Ji Yanxin and Juan'er staring at each other
Juan'er whispered, "You look for me"
"I didn't rest well last night, did you sleep for a while in the morning" Ji Yanxin looked at him left and right, looking at her with concern
"I'm not sleepy," Juan'er finished speaking, and lowered her head
Faced with this unfamiliar face, she felt constrained, and she didn't know what to say
"Juan'er, you don't want to know what has happened in the past few years" Facing Juan'er's indifference, Ji Yanxin's heart ached
No matter how he changes, he hopes that in Juan'er's eyes and heart, he is still the Ma Zhu'er she sent off on the way to the execution, and Ma Zhu'er is the most important person in her heart at that time
Juan'er raised her head slightly, her eyes were full of confusion, and after a while, she said: "What do you want me to say, I will naturally say it; if you don't want to say, I will ask in vain! I can't accept this face of yours - I can't find the slightest shadow of the horse bolt——"
"I-I also had to do it as a last resort-" Ji Yanxin's face was full of sadness, he didn't expect Juan'er's answer to be so straightforward
Juan'er bowed her head again and was silent, the room was quiet, the needle drop could be heard, and the atmosphere was gloomy
Juan'er intertwined her hands and held them hard, she realized that her words were too cold, but she couldn't go against her heart and pretend to be happy
Ji Yanxin looked at her silently for a long time before saying, "It's stuffy in the house, why don't we go out for a walk."
"It's okay" Juan'er immediately got up and walked towards the door as soon as she received the amnesty
Ji Yanxin shook his head bitterly, followed behind her, and the two walked towards the mountain one after the other, a few meters apart
……
Yang Zhijian and Ji Yankun stood in the middle of the courtyard in the backyard, watching their moving figures from a distance
"Mr. Yang, you know your sister-in-law" Yang Zhijian could see it, and was suddenly interrupted by Ji Yankun's words
He hurriedly waved his hand, looking panicked
"Why do you want to deny that your sister-in-law called out your name yesterday, you see that your sister-in-law's eyes are also very special-Moo, what is there to hide" Ji Yankun didn't feel good in his heart, and directly exposed his lies
Yang Zhijian's face was red, he pointed to the distance with an anxious expression, then pointed to himself, and waved his hand again What he wanted to express meant: It's not what you think, I have nothing to do with her!
In Ji Yankun's view, Yang Zhijian's move is undoubtedly to cover up, the more he denies it, the more it proves that there is a ghost in his heart, he is almost certain that there is an unknown relationship between Yang Zhijian and Juan'er, and he likes her
Since he refused to admit it, there must be his considerations, and Ji Yankun didn't want to get to the bottom of it, he said: "He is our sister-in-law, and he will always be!"
Yang Zhijian heard Ji Yankun's voice and nodded in agreement
In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Ji Yanxin said: "Mr. Yang, why don't we play a few games of chess and pass the time!"
Yang Zhijian gave a thumbs up, indicating that this proposal was good
The two set up a battlefield in the courtyard, and competed in chess For Ji Yankun, who knows himself and his opponent, he cherishes Yang Zhijian and himself for the same disease, the same fallen people at the end of the world, and he has people in his heart who should not pretend
The battle on the chessboard was extremely fierce, and both of them vented their anguish on each chess piece, and each time they ate one of the other party's chess pieces, their anguish was reduced by one point
……
Climbing up the mountain, Ji Yanxin strode to catch up with Juan'er, he stretched out his hand to grab her, and asked, "Are you going to go on like this forever?"
"Then what do you want me to do" Juan'er raised her face and looked coldly at the white clouds wandering in the sky
"Since you don't ask me, then it's okay for me to ask you, how are you doing?"
"Do I need to answer this, you should know better than me - you sent so many people to find me, didn't you already know what the point of repeating the answer was" Juan'er's tone was cold, and she didn't understand why there was a fire burning in her heart at this time
"Juan'er-are you complaining about me, I didn't find you and Zhuzi until now Actually-I-" Facing Juan'er's cold words, Ji Yanxin's heart was like a knife, and he felt guilty in his heart, because of his mistakes, she suffered too much
"I have nothing to complain about, I want to blame, I can only blame myself for not being capable, I can't take care of myself, I can't take care of the pillar, now, I just want to live a good life with the pillar and make up for the debt to him-" Juan'er looked into the distance, the past was unbearable, she no longer wanted to recall
"I won't let you suffer a little more, believe me!" Ji Yanxin reached out to hold Juan'er's shoulders and looked at her affectionately
Juan'er shook off his hand and said, "In my eyes and heart, you are just Mr. Ji who met for the first time, that's all!"
Ji Yanxin raised his hand in the air in embarrassment, his chest rose and fell violently, and he was stunned by Juan'er's words
After a while, he asked, "He is not in your heart as to Ma Bolt?"
"Ma Xuan'er died three years ago—" As she said this, Juan'er's heart twisted together, the pain was unbearable, and her voice choked
"Is it dead, or is it forgotten by you, I see, is it replaced by someone" Ji Yanxin couldn't stand Juan'er's attitude anymore, and asked loudly Since they met yesterday, she and Yang Zhijian have been stimulating him one after another, challenging his endurance
"What's the matter, I can't explain it to you, a stranger" Juan'er's temper came up, obviously she didn't think like this in her heart, but the words she said were inconsistent
"I'm a stranger Juan'er, you touch your heart and think about it, I'm really just a stranger, do you have to ask me to return to my original face before you are willing to admit that I am Ma Xuan'er" Ji Yanxin grabbed Juan'er's shoulder again, this time, the strength was greater
Juan'er struggled hard, trying to break free of his hand, the more she struggled, the tighter Ji Yanxin's hand clutched, and she grinned in pain
"You let go of me—let go—" Juan'er shouted, raising her foot and kicking him, but she couldn't reach his body at all
Zhu Zi and Qi Hong ran down from the back mountain, and saw his godfather catching his mother from a distance, he was anxious, and ran wildly all the way, thinking as he ran: Dare to bully my mother, even my godfather!
He picked up a stick on the side of the road and put it in his hand
"Juan'er, you answer me-" Ji Yanxin shouted almost frantically
"I've said everything you have to say, and what do you want me to say" Juan'er stubbornly insisted, women are sometimes very strange, and the words they say are always thorny, stabbing others at the same time, hurting themselves even more
"What do you want, did you forget me because of Yang Zhijian" Ji Yanxin was sad in her heart, shaking her body vigorously
Ji Yanxin's words were like a thorn, piercing deep into Juan'er's heart, a spasm, she couldn't deny that this word hit the key point, making her angry, she roared: "I don't know you at all, what qualifications do you have to ask about me."
"I'm not qualified, you can erase the fact that the pillar is my son," Ji Yanxin tried his best to fight back
"What are you talking about" Hearing the voice, Ji Yanxin and Juan'er turned their heads suddenly, only to find that the pillar was holding a wooden stick and standing not far from them
