Chapter 173: Helpless
Today's dinner was extraordinarily rich, but Yoon Shin-yeon was still absent.
It's not that she deliberately wants to be absent from this reunion dinner, but in the face of Lin Wenxuan, she always has a knot in her heart that can't be untied, this knot is blocked in her chest, which makes her feel stuffy, so no matter how rich the dishes are, she has no appetite.
But her absence did not affect the emotions of everyone present.
In Qu Mengnan's words, since Lin Wenxuan was lost to today, she has never seen her sister Qu Mengru so happy, and she has never seen her say so many things in a day.
This change made Yin Shengjie also happy, coupled with the guilt in his heart for not recognizing Lin Wenxuan at a glance, Yin Shengjie's attitude towards Lin Wenxuan can be described as pampering.
Qiao Mingjue needless to say, knowing that Lin Wenxuan is fine, this may be his greatest happiness.
Several people raised their goblets in their hands, and after clinking glasses, the pleasant dinner began.
Listening to the bursts of pleasant laughter from time to time in the restaurant downstairs, Yin Xinyan pulled the quilt over her head a little impatiently and closed herself tightly in her own world.
The dark eyelashes trembled slightly, and tears wet the eyelashes, running down the cheeks, dripping down the cheeks.
Maybe this should have been her life, right?
Even if there is no her in this world, no one will feel sorry at all, will they?
I don't know how long it took, the laughter downstairs stopped, Yin Xinyan tried to calm down, closed her eyes, and wanted to fall asleep as soon as possible.
At the same time, Qin Jiaxi had already gotten up to say goodbye.
Seeing Qin Jiaxi leaving, Lin Wenxuan also put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Dad, Mom, Auntie, I'm full." β
"Why do you eat so little, and the food is not appetizing?"
Qu Mengru frowned, for fear that Lin Wenxuan didn't dare to eat too much because she was unfamiliar, but wronged herself.
Lin Wenxuan hurriedly shook her head, "I've eaten a lot today, my stomach is about to burst! Besides, my mother's cooking skills are so good, how can it not suit my appetite? I'm really full, you eat slowly, I want to go upstairs to see my sister's situation." β
"As long as you are full, you can do whatever you want, and after dinner, I will ask someone to take you to choose a room." β
Yin Shengjie didn't force Lin Wenxuan anymore, he smiled and nodded, agreeing that Lin Wenxuan would go to see Yin Xinyan.
After all, they are sisters, even if there was more hatred in the past, now living under the same roof, they should always be reconciled.
Moreover, Yin Shengjie feels that Lin Wenxuan has never been the kind of person who is calculating and small-bellied.
Lin Wenxuan is kind-hearted, and she must consider the feelings of others before doing anything, although Yin Xinyan did too much to snatch Lin Wenxuan's fiancΓ©, but Yin Shengjie felt that after so much time, Lin Wenxuan should let it go.
Qu Mengru, who didn't understand the situation, watched Lin Wenxuan go upstairs and smiled with relief: "Look at how good their sisters are, even if they have been separated for so many years, they are still deeply affectionate." We Yueyue have also grown up and become sensible. β
Qu Mengnan took a sip of orange juice, avoided Qu Mengru's eyes, didn't make a sound, and couldn't help but secretly look at Qiao Mingjue's face.
Sure enough, as she expected, Qiao Mingjue's face was a little pale.
In this family, Qu Mengru doesn't know anything, Yin Shengjie is half an insider, and he can know all the causes and consequences, except for the three main parties, I'm afraid there is only Qu Mengnan.
So of course Qu Mengnan understood that Lin Wenxuan was not as simple as visiting Yin Xinyan, but she also knew in her heart that Lin Wenxuan was angry, but she would never do anything too hurtful to Yin Xinyan, so she chose to remain silent without worrying too much.
But Qiao Mingjue is different.
He didn't know what Lin Wenxuan wanted to do, and he didn't know if Yin Xinyan would suddenly break out and do something to Lin Wenxuan, but he hadn't finished eating the food in the bowl yet, if he left at this time, wouldn't he be empty-hearted?
Qu Mengnan shook her head helplessly, didn't think about it anymore, and continued to enjoy the delicious dinner.
At this time, on the second floor, Yin Xinyan's bedroom.
raised her hand and knocked on the door politely three times, and without waiting for Yin Xinyan to answer, Lin Wenxuan pushed the door open and walked in, and also turned on the light in the house.
The bright light was particularly dazzling, and Yin Xinyan raised her hand to block the light a little uncomfortably, and then turned her head to look at the person who walked in.
"Why don't you enjoy the reunion down there, what are you doing here with me?"
Yin Xinyan's hair was messy, she forced herself to sit up, her voice was still a little hoarse, but she was extremely stubborn.
Pulling over a chair and sitting down, Lin Wenxuan smiled: "You don't have to be so nervous, I'm just coming to see how your body is, and by the way, I'll catch up with you, after all, we haven't seen each other for a long time, right?"
"I'd rather we never see each other in this life. Yin Xinyan lowered her gaze and said softly.
Lin Wenxuan is like a nightmare for her, and she has really achieved the point of being ghostly, as if no matter when, as long as Lin Wenxuan is by her side, she will not have a good life.
Originally, she thought that she was wrong, and thought that without Lin Wenxuan, her life would still be miserable.
But now it seems that it is because Lin Wenxuan has always been there, so her fate has been playing jokes with her, big or small. These jokes came together and gave Yin Xinyan's already fragile heart a thousand holes.
And now, in the face of this triumphant Lin Wenxuan, Yin Xinyan tasted helplessness for the first time.
Lin Wenxuan smiled lightly: "Oh? Is it? Are you so hated to see me? You are my dearest sister, if I remember correctly, I have always been good to you when I was a child, and my family has treated you badly, so I will try my best to give you all the delicious and fun food, but what did you do to me? Leave me alone, let me lie on the cold ground, and even ......"
"Enough!" Yin Xinyan's eyes were red, she looked at Lin Wenxuan, her voice trembled, "I don't care what you remember, it's all in the past, you're young, I'm young, so I didn't make a mistake! Moreover, I never needed your charity and mercy!"
"Do you think I've been sympathizing with you?" Lin Wenxuan smiled helplessly, "No, you're wrong, I'm just ...... It's just that I've always really put you in my heart, and I like you as a sister from the bottom of my heart, but ......"
"You don't have to pretend to be pitiful to me here! Now it's just the two of us, you don't need to act! Aren't you dead? Didn't you say you had blood cancer? Why did you come back again? Why don't you really die?!"
"If I don't choose to fake my death, how can I let the two of you let down your guard? But I didn't lie about one thing, I was in the hospital all day long during the days when you and he were in love with him in France, but I didn't fail the operation, the operation was successful, I lived well, and this fake death was to get revenge on you. β
"What's the use of taking revenge on us? β
Lin Wenxuan hooked the corners of her lips, "It's not as simple as you think, I collected a lot of evidence, and it was also at that time that I met my aunt in the United States, I'm sorry, she recognized me, I told her about you, so she was very disappointed in you." As for the anonymous emails that Qiao Mingjue received before, as well as the surprises at your celebration banquet, they were all done by me. β
Yin Xinyan's body trembled slightly, and her eyes widened in disbelief, "Impossible! Don't want to be Xi Xi's scapegoat!"
"I'm not anyone's scapegoat, Xi Xi is just a guise to lie to you, the Flower Cafe that day, except for these people on the bright side you saw, I hid in the shadows, and I had already dug a trap for you. β
"Despicable!"
"I'm despicable? Yin Xinyan, have you forgotten what you did to me in the first place? I'm just a tooth for a tooth. You can rest assured that from this moment on, your hard days are coming. β
Lin Wenxuan leaned over, approached Yin Xinyan, pressed her hand against the wall, and completely encircled Yin Xinyan within her control.
Yin Xinyan was taken aback by this move, she grabbed the thin quilt wrapped around her body, and still raised her head without giving up, but she couldn't suppress the tremor in her voice: "Do you think I'm afraid of you if you say this? If you have the ability, you will tell your father everything!"
"Do you think I don't dare? Dad will know the truth sooner or later, but now is not the time. β
Before the words fell, Lin Wenxuan heard the footsteps outside the house, she sat down again, did not speak again, and looked at Yin Xinyan's eyes gentle and calm.
Yin Xinyan's face was as pale as paper, the fear in her eyes could not dissipate for a long time, and before she could react to what was happening, Yin Shengjie and Qu Mengru had already pushed open the bedroom door and walked in.
Lin Wenxuan turned her head and smiled sweetly: "Mom and Dad, you are here." β
"Well, let's come over to see Xinyan's situation, how are you chatting?" Yin Shengjie smiled gently, and his voice was exceptionally calm.
Qu Mengru also immediately agreed, "Yes, thinking that Xinyan didn't eat anything, I specially asked someone to prepare a bowl of soup to replenish her body." β
Lin Wenxuan nodded, "I had a good chat with my sister, but my sister's mental state doesn't seem to be particularly good, I just persuaded my sister to eat something, but my sister doesn't seem to have much appetite, isn't it, sister?"
Lin Wenxuan screamed one sister after another, and Qu Mengru and Yin Shengjie nodded and smiled frequently.
But Yin Xinyan was called by her, and under everyone's gaze, she had no choice but to nod lightly.
Qu Mengru handed the steaming chicken soup to Lin Wenxuan, and said with a smile: "Your father has always been worried that you will be rusty, and now it seems that your relationship has not changed at all, so we can rest assured." Yueyue, remember to persuade your sister to drink this bowl of chicken soup later, you know?"
"Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will definitely convince my sister to drink it. β
"Alright, then leave the two of them to chat, and we'll go about ours. β
After Yin Shengjie finished speaking, he planned to leave with Qu Mengru.
Seeing that the two of them had turned around and walked to the door of the room, Lin Wenxuan hurriedly picked up the chicken soup and handed it to Yin Xinyan, with a meaningful smile: "Sister, this is the chicken soup that our mother specially ordered someone to make for you, although she didn't cook it for you herself, but the chicken soup still tastes very good, you drink a little bit." β
In and out of the words, the meaning could not be more obvious.
Yin Xinyan glared at Lin Wenxuan, and suddenly became angry.
Didn't she just show off that Qu Mengru would personally cook and prepare dinner for her tonight? What is there to be proud of?
"Sister, don't ignore me, drink it while it's hot!"
Seeing that Yin Xinyan was silent and only stared at herself, Lin Wenxuan hurriedly handed the soup closer and spoke again.
There seemed to be a fire burning in her chest, Yin Xinyan raised her hand violently and pushed Lin Wenxuan's hand back, "Don't bother me!
"Ahββ!h
With a piercing scream, the chicken soup in Lin Wenxuan's hand fell to the ground, and the bowl was instantly shattered.
Hearing the movement, Yin Shengjie and Qu Mengru, who had just walked outside the bedroom, paused and frowned.
Seeing this scene, Yin Xinyan closed her eyes in pain.
