019 Advance by retreating
Jiang Yunfei actually confessed that in her sophomore year of high school.
But he was rejected, maybe he was really not the one she liked as a gentle scholar, or he was influenced by his father to dislike the Jiang family as a nouveau riche.
Proud as Jiang Yunfei never mentioned this incident in the future, everything seemed to have never happened.
Even if Jiang Jing's opinion of him slowly changed later, neither of them dared to take another step forward. She was afraid that he had changed his mind, and he was afraid that he was the same as before.
Without answering, he turned his head away from her, sat on the sofa and unbuttoned his shirt, ready to take a shower.
After Jiang Jing finished cleaning up, he lay on the bed and said to him, "Is godfather better?" β
nodded, still lowering his eyes, "Don't care, my dad is like that, when my mother passed away before, the two of them agreed, and when my dad settled down, I would go over there to accompany her, but in the past few years, he has been very strong, so he complained that my mother had changed her mind and didn't care about him, so he let him live a long life." β
Hearing this, she wanted to laugh, but she felt sad, Jiang Jing got up and sat down, as if this was how she could show her respect for Jiang's father, "Godfather is very good, he looks very aggressive, but in fact, he is very thoughtful and infatuated, and he is a rare good man." β
"You see, he changed all the windows in the room and added another layer, and the sound insulation effect is super good." Jiang Jing and Jiang Yun flew back during the Chinese New Year last year, because of the sound of firecrackers outside, they didn't sleep well all night, and when they came in today, they found that the window had changed, not only the glass material was thick, but also it had become a floor-to-ceiling window.
Jiang Yunfei didn't tell her that he made people change it, although Dad Jiang loved her, he couldn't be so meticulous that he even knew what she liked.
Anyway, it's useless to tell him, he is also infatuated, and he hasn't seen her praise for so many years, as if the better he treats her, the farther away she will avoid him, it is better to go a long time.
"By the way, Jiang Yunfei, you don't have any relatives in your family, who does your godfather want to entrust you to?"
"Neighbors." Thin lips spit out two words, Jiang Yunfei didn't want to mention those things.
"Neighbors?" Jiang Jing was stunned for a moment, thinking that the Jiang family had just moved to their community, and Jiang's father showed goodwill to all the neighbors, so enthusiastic that people felt that he just wanted to climb the high branches, get rid of the label of nouveau riche, and integrate into the upper class society of the imperial capital.
It turned out that it was just to find a support for his son.
"Godfather is too unreliable..... I mean, naΓ―ve. β
"Have you ever heard the saying that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and neighbors who get along well with us are like a family." It's just that Father Jiang didn't know at that time that the customs and habits of the imperial capital and his hometown were different.....
Jiang Jing wanted to say something, but saw him get up and walk out, "You sleep, I'll go to the study." β
"But ....." Jiang Jing didn't know if he mentioned his sadness, and was a little embarrassed, "What if my godfather finds out?" β
"I'll explain."
The door was closed, and she was left alone in the house, although she was used to being alone, but I don't know why, Jiang Jing was still a little awkward in her heart tonight.
She felt that Jiang Yunfei's temperament was annoying, and he was pitiful.
Jiang Yunfei went to the old man's room to see how he was, but as soon as he entered, he saw him sitting on the bed playing with his mobile phone.
"Dad, you're not drunk?" frowned and asked, this person is not shallow-eyed, but the older he gets, the more cunning he becomes, and he has learned to act.
"I was drunk just now, but now I'm fine."
Leaning against the door, Jiang Yunfei folded his hands in front of his chest and looked at him like this.
"I'm your son, you don't look at me with that kind of eyes, you come here, I ask you, why don't you sleep with your daughter-in-law and come to see me at night?" Seeing that he was about to speak, Old Man Jiang hurriedly interrupted him, "You don't bluff me, it's been seven years, people have asked you to tie you up for seven years, and I still can't look down on you, Jiang Yunfei, are you my son......" picked up the slippers under the bed and threw them at him, Jiang Yunfei tilted his head and dodged.
"I'll leave if you're okay."
"You come back to me," the old man put on one shoe and motioned with his eyes for him to take the other back.
Sighing, Father Jiang said, "Xiao Jing is a good girl, there are some things that can't be forced, I think you will let them go." β
.........
When Jiang Jing got up the next day, Mr. Jiang had already gone out, saying that he had made an appointment with an old friend to climb the mountain together.
"What kind of mountain to climb in winter, Jiang Yunfei, don't you stop it?" Jiang Jing sat across from him, and he didn't know which room he slept in last night.
"He said he wanted to exercise, how could I stop him? Eat quickly, and let Lei Qing send you home after eating. β
The two of them were relatively speechless, until they were about to finish eating, Jiang Yunfei suddenly spoke, "I'll think about it, agree with what you said, end the contract early." β
Jiang Jing choked on milk, covered his mouth and coughed for a long time, raised his head and looked at him confusedly, "What do you mean?" β
I don't know whether to be happy or sad in my heart, her wish is granted, but she is stunned.
"According to what you said, in another year, we will get divorced."
"Why? Why did you suddenly agree......." Jiang Jing wanted to know the reason.
Is it because of Daddy Jiang? Or did she say something and do something that made him annoying?
Or did he have a new love and finally get bored with her?
But he had just finished buying a ring with her yesterday, so he couldn't have changed his mind so quickly.
Is it a crossing? Soul wearing?
"Don't you want to? If you don't want to, it's business as usual......"
"No, no, no, it's not that I don't want to, I just want to ask, of course, it's okay if you don't want to say.... Just when I didn't ask. Jiang Jing didn't know if this was a dead duck with a hard mouth, she just kept telling herself in her heart that it was too good, so that she could tease other little brothers openly.
The light in his eyes dimmed little by little, but the man's face remained as usual, and he continued to finish speaking, "I will be in the imperial capital this year, try to minimize work, and accompany you well, just one year, we will get together and disperse." β
Those weird emotions in his chest were like a balloon, which was punctured by the needle he turned into the last four words, Jiang Jing didn't know why, maybe he had been used to it for a long time, it turned out that ten years was just a flick of his fingers, and he thought he would never get through it, but it ended all of a sudden.
"Hmm, it's good to .....get together and disperse" Jiang Jing lowered his head, and suddenly remembered that window, what a waste, it only took so much a year.
But the Jiang family will always have a new daughter-in-law, and no one will like noise.
Unless she is not as squeamish as herself and is willing to keep the New Year with Jiang Yunfei, she can sleep well if she is noisy outside.....
The two didn't speak again, and Jiang Yunfei remembered the conversation with his father last night.
At first, he didn't answer after the old man finished speaking, but after thinking about it, he nodded and replied with the word "good".
As a result, Dad Jiang picked up the slippers and shouted to his head, "Okay, what a fart!" β
"You have to have a little bit of brilliance when I chased your mother, and it won't be like this, Lao Tzu is letting you retreat, Lao Tzu is letting you retreat, really, I don't understand the art of war, and I don't know how your business is done, get out, if you can't give birth to a grandson next year, I'll go to your mother, and you will live by yourself."
