Chapter 97: Silence
Jinyu walked into the private room, and the wine glasses of Sun Xiongzhi and the Ji family had already been poured in front of them, and the red wine bottles on the side were half empty. It seemed that the three of them had been drinking before she arrived.
"Xiao Yu, you're here." Sun Xiongzhi saw his daughter coming, and beckoned her to come in.
When the father and son of the Ji family saw Jinyu coming in, they all looked at her with smiles, as if all the unpleasantness just now had not happened. Ji Yecheng saw Jin Yu walk in, and he didn't mean to sit down, so he got up and wanted to take the bag in Jin Yu's hand and help her put it on the hanger. Jin Yu smiled perfunctorily, avoided Ji Yecheng's hand, bypassed Ji Yecheng's back, and hung the bag on the hanger.
Ji Yecheng pretended not to care, retracted his hand, and sat back in his place.
Sun Xiongzhi hurriedly said: "Xiao Yu, why don't you say hello to your Uncle Ji when you come?" ”
Jin Yu smiled, stood opposite the round table, and said to Ji Guangsheng: "Hello Uncle Ji, we just met in the afternoon, and we didn't want to be separated for a long time before we met again." ”
Ji Guangsheng also smiled: "I'm still worried that Xiao Yu will be unhappy because of the afternoon's events and won't want to come to eat with Uncle Ji." Don't stand, sit down. ”
Jinyu said "yes" on her lips, but she didn't sit down in a hurry, she saw Ji Guangsheng sitting in the host and guest position, her father Sun Xiongzhi sitting next to his right hand, and Ji Yecheng sitting on Ji Guangsheng's left hand side. Jin Yu smiled slightly, naturally walked to Sun Xiongzhi's side, sat down next to his father, and said coquettishly: "It's been a long time since I've sat down with my father to eat." ”
Sun Xiongzhi glanced at Ji Yecheng opposite, Ji Yecheng's eyes were a little helpless, and with a hint of expectation, he smiled and said to Jinyu: "What a big person, and I am still coquettish with my father." Don't you find it boring to sit next to your father, sit next to your karma, you young people can talk. ”
Ji Yecheng's eyes kept following Jin Yu, but Jin Yu didn't look at Ji Yecheng, and smiled at Sun Xiongzhi: "Dad, don't always treat me as a child, I'm married or don't sit with other men." ”
Sun Xiongzhi said: "In the past, I used to play with you Uncle Ji, didn't you have a good relationship when you were young, and now what are you embarrassed about?" ”
Ji Yecheng joked to Sun Xiongzhi: "Uncle Sun, don't you know, when we were young, the two of us liked to play the house the most, and Jinyu still wanted me to be her groom." ”
Jin Yu endured the unhappiness in her heart and quietly glared at Ji Yecheng, but Ji Yecheng pretended that nothing had happened and kept smiling.
Ji Guangsheng played a round game: "Xiao Yu is married now, and she is not as lively as before." Xiongzhi, just let her sit next to you. ”
Jin Yu hurriedly smiled and said, "Dad, Uncle Ji said so, I'll sit here." As he spoke, he picked up his cup and took a sip of hot water, "Let's serve the food, I'm so busy this afternoon that I'm a little hungry." ”
Sun Xiongzhi looked at his spoiled daughter, shook his head helplessly, and beckoned to the waiter in the private room: "Let's serve." ”
Lin Yuan returned to the villa in a distraught, and saw that the villa seemed to be dark from a distance, so he didn't ring the doorbell, and opened the door with the key lightly.
The living room was surprisingly quiet, Lin Yuan turned on the light, and saw that the light was on in the kitchen, and Sister Mu was stewing soup.
"Sister Mu, where are my parents?"
Sister Mu was busy stewing soup, when she heard a voice behind her, her hands trembled a little, and she saw clearly that it was Lin Yuan, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Yue, are you back?" Why didn't Xiaoyu come back with you? ”
Lin Yuan said: "Jinyu has something to do, let me come back first." What about my parents? ”
Sister Mu pouted in the direction of the guest room outside the door: "Today, the old man's illness is a little serious, Xiao Yu began to wheezing after he left, and he didn't eat dinner, the old lady took care of it inside, and I thought about boiling some chicken soup." ”
When Lin Yuan heard that his father was sick, he was anxious unconsciously, and before Sister Mu finished speaking, he had already rushed out and opened the door of the guest room suddenly.
Lin Yuan pushed the door and broke in, startling Mrs. Yue, and quickly stood up, seeing that Lin Yuan was sweating, he said with concern: "Why are you sweating, you said you had something to do today, but you were all busy?" Is it going well? ”
Lin Yuan was anxious: "How is Dad?" Sister Mu said that she was suddenly sick from the afternoon and didn't eat dinner. ”
Old Mrs. Yue sighed, but the expression on her face was a look of experience: "Your father is old, and his illness is sometimes serious and sometimes stable. After taking the medicine, the wheezing is not so bad now. ”
Lin Yuan's heart was sour, he squatted on the side of the bed and lay on his father's ear, and asked softly, "Dad, how do you feel?" ”
Lin Yuan's father was panting, his nose was fanning rapidly, his face was pale, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, and his spirit was a little sluggish, and he gasped for a while before saying, "Don't worry about me, it's an old problem." ”
Lin Yuan thought for a while and said to his father, "I'll take you to the hospital tomorrow, and we'll have a good checkup." The hospital here is better than ours, and the doctor will definitely find a way. ”
Lin Yuan's father wanted to smile, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he weakly sketched a smile, his lips squirmed for a long time before he said, "It's not easy for you here, don't be embarrassed for your father......"
Lin Yuan was so sad when he heard this, his eyes almost reddened, he tried his best to endure his emotions, and pretended to be relaxed and said: "Dad, you think too much, Jinyu is so good to me, she knows that you are very sick, and she must be as anxious as me." You can rest assured, and when you get here, you will listen to your son's arrangement, okay? ”
Lin Yuan's father closed his eyes and didn't speak again. Mrs. Yue pulled Lin Yuan and whispered: "Your father is worried, you can't take care of your work for us, and then ignore Mr. Sun, it will make your in-laws unhappy." ”
Lin Yuan said: "No matter how you say it, you can't watch Dad get sick. Jinyu's parents, they can go whatever they want, I don't care. ”
Mrs. Yue couldn't, so she pulled Lin Yuan to the window, carried Lin Yuan's father behind her back and said, "Actually, your father is not for anything else, he just thinks that you are really hard here, and he is anxious for you." Who knew that this would bring up an old illness. You always tell us that you are doing well, your father and I still don't know you, how you are doing, it is written on your face, and you can't pretend to be. ”
Lin Yuan leaned against the window and said with a wry smile: "I'm doing well, it's you and Dad who are too worried." The Sun family is the richest and most prestigious here, and I, as their son-in-law, can I be wronged. Jinyu is good to me, and you have all seen it. ”
Old Mrs. Yue's heart was bright, she could see that Lin Yuan's expression was all pretended, every contact between her son and daughter-in-law after coming to this villa made her suspicious, the relationship between the two was not at all like a couple who had been married for more than half a year, this kind of excessive politeness and alienation could not be covered up by pretending intimacy.
"If you have the heart, call a car for us early tomorrow morning, and I'll take your dad to the hospital, don't alarm them."
Lin Yuan couldn't bear to let his elderly parents go to a strange place for medical treatment alone, and insisted: "I'll go with you tomorrow." Even if Jinyu doesn't agree, and her parents don't agree, I will accompany you. ”
Old Mrs. Yue wanted to say something, but the words came to her lips and endured it again and again, Lin Yuan said, "Mom, do you have anything else that you can't say to me?" Old Lady Yue glanced at Lin Yuan's father, the old man was sick and weak, and he was already drowsy. Old Mrs. Yue turned her back, lowered her voice and said, "Is there really no way for you and Mr. Sun to marry?" ”
Lin Yuan smiled bitterly and asked, "Okay, why do you say that?" ”
Mrs. Yue said: "I know, you have no love for her, Sun is always a good boy and considerate to us, but marriage is a matter for the two of you after all, no matter how strong your father-in-law is, there is no way to interfere in the marriage of the two of you." If you want a divorce, your parents will not object, we can see your father-in-law's attitude towards you, it's just that you don't want to be too indifferent to Mr. Sun, she is really attentive to you. Even if you really get to the point of divorce, you have to treat her well and don't break her heart. ”
Lin Yuan didn't look over, not wanting Old Lady Yue to see the painful expression on his face because of distress, and reluctantly replied, "I know, Mom." ”
Sister Mu sent the soup, Lin Yuan took the soup, and remembered that Jinyu and Sun Xiongzhi went out to eat, and it was inevitable that they would drink some stuffy wine during the banquet, and said to Sister Mu: "Help Jinyu set aside a bowl of chicken soup, she doesn't like oil flowers, remember to skim off all the oil flowers." After drinking, it won't hurt your stomach too much to come back and drink a little chicken soup. ”
Sister Mu promised to go out and prepare.
Lin Yuan waited for his father to be a little sober, took the bowl and personally fed his father some chicken soup, and took care of it all night. When Lin Yuan's father fell asleep in a drowsy, Mrs. Yue glanced at the clock on the bedside table: "It's almost ten o'clock, and Mr. Sun hasn't come back yet." You call her and ask, you are far away from here, she is not safe to be alone at a woman's house so late, go out to pick her up. ”
Lin Yuan nodded, watching his father fall asleep a little deeper, and the sound of breathing calmed down, before walking out of the guest room.
Before he could pick up his phone, the door was open. Jin Yu's face was blue, Lin Yuan wanted Sister Mu to serve the chicken soup to dry, Jin Yu dragged her tired voice and said, "No need, I'll go back to the house first." Lin Yuan, you and I come up. ”
Sister Mu had already come out with chicken soup, so she looked at Lin Yuan and waited for him to speak. Lin Yuan said: "Since Jinyu doesn't want to eat, don't force it." I made her a glass of honey water and served it. ”
Lin Yuan took the honey water and walked into the master bedroom on the second floor. Jinyu lay on the bed, her head buried in the soft pillow, her thin shoulders swayed slightly, and a suppressed whimper was faintly heard.
Lin Yuan put down the honey water, stood beside the bed and comforted, "Is it that your father has wronged you?" Everything started because of me, don't go to your heart, dissipate your anger. ”
Jin Yu's whimpering sound was intermittent, Lin Yuan looked at her as if she was thinner than before, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed, how high-spirited Jin Yu used to be, but now she has become aggrieved, all for him, speaking of which, he is the most ruthless person.
Lin Yuan thought about it, sat on the edge of the bed, stroked Jin Yu's long hair stiffly, and said softly, "Talk to me." ”
Jin Yu's voice was accompanied by a whimper, a little chaotic, Lin Yuan was close to her side, and heard her muffled voice: "Do you say that because of my willfulness, I always cause you to suffer so many grievances?" ”
Lin Yuan was shocked, helped Jin Yu up, wrapped his hands around Jin Yu's arm, looked at her somewhat red and swollen face and asked, "What did your father say to the people of the Ji family?" ”
Jin Yu's eyes turned red, her always delicate makeup was mottled by tears soaked with flowers, her body trembled gently in Lin Yuan's arms, and finally said: "Dad has not given up the idea of letting me marry Ji Yecheng until now." He and Uncle Ji kept talking about this at the dinner table, as well as Ji Yecheng...... They didn't mention anything about the restaurant at all, they just asked me to go just to talk about my marriage! ”
Lin Yuan heard that there was nothing to do with what happened in the dining room, and his expression relaxed slightly: "Although Ji Yecheng is a little overbearing, he also loves you." Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent so much time on it. ”
"What about me?" Jin Yu stared at Lin Yuan, her voice became a little hoarse because of excitement, "Haven't you and Dad considered my feelings, let me marry someone I don't love, will I be happy." ”
Lin Yuan's expression instantly became numb: "Yes, will you be happy if you marry someone you don't love?" ”
Jinyu's words had already come out, and then she realized that she had said the wrong thing in a hurry, and she didn't dare to say more, so she cried silently.
