Ji Wan hadn't slept well for several days, the light in the elevator was recognizable, and the extreme high speed made her slightly dizzy.
There was a waiter at the door who was in the leading seat, and when he saw her, he bowed politely: "Is it Miss Ji?" Mr. Xi has booked a place, please come with me. ”
Ji Wan followed behind him, her throat was a little dry, and her feet seemed to be stepping on cotton, light and fluttering. This is a bold decision, and all she can rely on is Xi Yan's interest in her, which may not have disappeared.
Turning a corner in the hall, the waiter gave way to the side, and in front of him was a semi-open box, with fully transparent glass overhead, and the entire blue sky and white clouds seemed to be within reach.
There was a man sitting with his back to Ji Wan, his back was straight, his slender and white fingers were distinct, and he was playing with a white bone china cup on the armrest.
"Miss Ji, please." The waiter said respectfully, and as he spoke, the bone china cup suddenly froze.
Ji Wan stopped, and the back in front of him didn't seem to be Xi Yan, but it was also very familiar. She unconsciously took a few steps forward, looking fixedly at the man's side face.
"Why are you here?" She asked, confused, with a faint premonition of uneasiness in her heart.
He Yuhan looked at her quietly, and in the sun, those deep eyes flashed with an extraordinarily distant and cold light. "He has something to do, and he can't get over it."
Ji Wan's face turned pale all of a sudden, and she suddenly understood: "You know...... Xi Yan? ”
He Yuhan nodded, and slowly raised his hand to signal: "Sit." He and I were friends and grew up together, and we had a strong relationship. ”
Maybe it's long overdue.
Ji Wan thought that she was too self-righteous.
Inexplicable quick injection, inexplicable pursuit, inexplicable temptation......
Obviously, she should feel humiliated and angry at this moment, but she only has Mu Ran, is this fate, she can't escape the tricks of fate?
Ji Wan nodded, barely maintaining the only remaining self-esteem, her voice was calm, but with an imperceptible tremor: "Sorry to disturb, you continue to play, I am out of company." ”
She turned around and walked out, but a low voice came from behind her: "Ji Wan, why?" Even he can, why can't I? ”
There was almost irrepressible anger in that voice, He Yuhan couldn't understand it at all, in these days of change, he had been by Ji Wan's side, as Ji Wan's old classmate and ex-boyfriend, he had financial resources and strength, but when he was desperate, Ji Wan would rather go to Xi Yan for help as a playboy like Xi Yan, but he didn't consider compromising with him at all.
Ji Wan was silent, and only after a long time did he smile self-deprecatingly: "How can there be so many whys." ”
He Yuhan took a deep breath and calmed down instantly: "You don't have to be in a hurry to leave, and you don't have to think that I colluded with Xi Yan to deliberately humiliate you." Actually, there is a reason why I have been in front of you since the reunion, and I want to negotiate a deal with you, a deal that is good for you and me. ”
"I'm not interested." Ji Wan coldly refused.
"Why bother?" He Yuhan smiled, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, "You are willing to sell yourself to Xi Yan for revenge, but you don't even have the courage to sit down and listen to me say a few words?" Am I such a special existence for you? ”
Ji Wan's back stiffened, turned around and sat down opposite He Yuhan, grabbed the lemonade on the table and took a big sip, the cold water slid into her throat, making her pasty brain a little clearer: "Say it." ”
He Yuhan took out a photo from his bag and put it in front of Ji Wan, this is a group photo, the entire He family is there: "I took it when I was sixteen years old, it was my mother, she died in a car accident when I was seventeen years old." ”
In the photo, He Yuhan's mother is very beautiful, no wonder He Yuhan is also so outstanding, several people in the He family are all handsome men and beautiful women, and the majestic old man in the middle must be the head of the He family.
Ji Wan's gaze fell on the second person on the left hand in the front row, it was a graceful and luxurious woman, her chin was slightly raised, and her expression was proud.
"That's my aunt." He Yuhan glanced at me, "Take good care of me, if it wasn't for her back then, I might ......."
Ji Wan's gaze froze, quickly moved away from the photo, and asked lightly: "What's the point of you showing me this?" ”
"I think there is something strange about my mother's death, but I didn't find out the clue, and besides, my grandfather wants me to marry, but I don't want him to be satisfied," He Yuhan said coldly, "My stepmother was arranged by him, and my mother's bones were not cold, so he asked my father to marry this woman." ”
"And what do you want to do?"
"Marry me and help me stir up the He family."
Ji Wan was speechless for a long time: "You can do this matter with any woman, why do you have to find me?" ”
He Yuhan stared at her and pulled the corners of his mouth: "My uncles and aunts are not easy to mess with, my grandfather is even more powerful, ordinary women are not opponents at all, I am afraid that I will cry and run away in a few days." And most importantly, when I want to divorce in two years, I can be sure that you will not stick to me, let alone try to take the He family's property from me. ”
"Two years?" Ji Wan looked at him in confusion.
"Yes, two years," He Yuhan repeated, "that is, I buy you two years of marriage and freedom, you can treat it as a job, and I am your boss, you do the work I arranged, of course, there are some things you don't want to, such as sexual obligations between husband and wife, you have the right to refuse." As a reward, I will help you do what you want Xi Yan to do, better than you can imagine. ”
His voice did not fluctuate, as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with him, that handsome face was covered with a layer of frost, Ji Wan inexplicably remembered what he looked like when he first entered school, it was as cold as a glacier in Antarctica, but with a fatal attraction, making those girls moths who knew they would put out fires.
Such a man, if he gets along for a second longer, he may sink, right?
Ji Wan clenched the water cup in his hand, lowered his eyelids and shook his head: "Thank you for mentioning yì, but ......"
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse," He Yuhan stared at the ends of her hair, his eyes cold, "Think about it for two days, maybe you will change your mind." ”
He stood up, waved his hand and asked the waiter to pay, didn't look at Ji Wan again, and strode out of the café.
Ji Wan sat alone in the café for a long time, looking up at the blue sky in the glass roof, her mind was in chaos, she didn't know what she was still doing there, maybe she subconsciously wanted to escape the chaos outside.
A clear blue gradually faded, and a little bit dyed a layer of gold, and the bright sky gradually dimmed.
She suddenly remembered that she had promised to accompany her to dinner today.
Grandma's broken foot has healed, and she volunteered to accompany Ji Shuyun in the hospital several times, but she couldn't get away after being busy, which made Ji Wan cry and laugh. In fact, grandma has many characteristics of their generation, tenacity, kindness, and selflessness, which often makes Ji Wan ashamed of himself.
As soon as she saw Ji Wan, her grandmother was very distressed, and put all the good dishes into Ji Wan's bowl: "Wanwan, you eat more, you have to be careful of your body, and you have to worry about your mother." ”
Ji Wan's heart was sour, Ji Shuyun didn't even pay attention to her these days, if she was in good health, maybe she would have to be expelled from the house and cut off the relationship.
"Grandma, you have to be careful at home alone, don't do heavy work at home, call me if you have something, I will come over." Ji Wan advised.
"It's okay, don't worry about me here, grandma is tough," grandma said with a smile, "I'll bring a few dishes to your mother later, so that your mother can relax a little, our family will not be unlucky forever." ”
Ji Wan never dared to tell her grandmother about her illness, and her grandmother was still waiting for Ji Shuyun to go to the hospital after she was discharged.
Halfway through the meal, the landline at home rang, and when Ji Wan heard it, it was her aunt who called to find her grandmother.
Grandma didn't speak after a few words, and Ji Wan sat next to her and only heard her aunt's buzzing voice. Grandma's face became more and more ugly, but she didn't have a seizure, but just answered twice with a vague "uh-huh".
After hanging up the phone, Grandma was obviously in a trance, and smiled after a while: "The old woman is useless, only this dilapidated house can still make people remember." ”
Ji Wan felt a chill: "Auntie, aren't they dead yet?" Grandma, don't pay attention to them. ”
Grandma didn't say anything for a long time, but just touched Ji Wan's head: "Wanwan, don't worry about this, you tell grandma the truth, there is still hope for your mother's illness, right?" ”
Ji Wan's nose was sore, and tears were almost falling, she bit her lip and nodded vigorously: "Grandma, don't worry, my mother will be fine." ”
Grandma took a long breath and reluctantly looked at the furnishings in the house, the furniture was quite old, the walls had just been painted once the year before, and they looked quite new: "This house ...... I bought it when your grandfather was there, and the decoration was tossed up by me and him, and every time I saw it, my grandmother could think of something about your grandfather......"
Ji Wan didn't know why, how to be so dignified, grandma suddenly became sad.
"Wanwan, your aunt always thinks that I am partial to my daughter, in fact, your mother knows, unwilling to take a little advantage, although I have lived here all these years, but every month I will send money and things to your uncle's house, and you don't have any money left at home, just that little medical insurance, people have said, you must use good medicine to treat this disease, that is a bottomless pit, grandma plans to sell the house, the money your mother and your uncle are half of a person, no one should say who is biased."
Ji Wan was stunned: "Grandma, what are you talking about!" You sold your house, where do you live! I don't agree, you don't have to spend money on my mother's illness, really, I have a way! ”
"I ...... I'll live at your uncle's house......" Grandma smiled bitterly, "I know that you are well-behaved and don't worry about my house, but some people are worried about it, and everyone is uneasy, and when your mother is well, she will live in her own small house, and it is enough to live alone, and when the time comes, you will remember to come and see me as an old woman, and I will be satisfied." ”
"No, grandma, don't promise your aunt." Ji Wan was anxious, didn't she know what kind of person her aunt was? The heart is small-minded, short-tempered, and now I have to ask my grandmother to return this virtue, if my grandmother is penniless in the future, she will have to rely on her, and she will not be so angry!
