Chapter 197: Not Just a Conversation
As soon as breakfast was finished the next day, the iceberg man and An Yiwen left the manor in a hurry. Jingyi half-leaned at the door and looked at their figures who left in a hurry, and sighed softly in her heart, these brothers are inseparable, why are their personalities so different?
If Ye Lixin's personality could be combined with An Yiwen's handsome humor, masculine and chic, how good would it be? Or mix it with some relaxed personality like when I got along with Ye Hongwen yesterday, that's not bad. It's just that they are children who grew up together, why do they have different personalities? Could it be genetic inheritance? This Ye family's genes are weak? But it's not right, Ye Hongwen looks very amiable and approachable! It's just that she could have expected that this conclusion of hers was about to be overturned!
"Hello, Miss Chen! I am the housekeeper of the Ye family, Mr. Ye invites you to go to the orchid garden. "The person who talked to her was Aunt Rong, who was in charge of the affairs of the manor, and they had met in the Orchid Garden yesterday. Although the manor here is large, it is divided into eight areas, namely the Orchid Garden, the Plum Garden, the Chrysanthemum Garden, the Tea Garden, the Lotus Garden, the Cherry Garden, the Ginger Garden, and the Gui Garden. Among them, the orchid garden where Ye Hongwen lives is the largest, followed by An Yiwen's plum garden, and Ye Lixin's ginger garden is not much different from the area of the other gardens. Each garden is tended by a servant, but in the end, it is under the jurisdiction of Aunt Yung, who distributes all kinds of affairs, big and small.
Jingyi bowed slightly to Aunt Rong: "I know, I'll go back to the house to change my shoes first, and then I'll be there, you help me talk to grandpa first." ”
"Okay." Aunt Rong nodded politely, paused and continued: "Miss Chen, then I'll go back to Orchid Garden first, if you need anything, please find Jiang Yuan's less." ”
"Yes, I see, thank you!"
After Jingyi sent Aunt Rong away, she went back to the house to change the sandals on her feet, put on retro flats, and walked towards the orchid garden in style. When she arrived at the orchid garden, there was already a servant waiting at the door, and as soon as she appeared, he enthusiastically led her into the main house and led her to the second floor. Finally stopped at the door of a room on the second floor, and the maid politely knocked lightly on the door.
Ye Hongwen's voice came from inside: "Come in." ”
The servant made a "please" gesture to her, and when she entered, quietly closed the door. Hearing the sound of the door closing, she involuntarily twisted her neck slightly, and a trace of doubt crossed her eyes.
When I walked into the room, I realized that this was a spacious study, and Ye Hongwen did not sit on the stool configured with the desk, but sat on a rattan chair near the window, and next to the chair was a small round table, on which were placed two cups of tea, steaming hot.
"Come, Jingyi, please be seated." Ye Hongwen warmly beckoned her to sit down: "I don't know what you want to drink?" ”
"Grandpa, if you drink tea, I'll accompany you to drink tea."
"That's fine. Are you still used to living in Jiang Yuan? ”
"Yes, it's comfortable." Ye Hongwen asked, and she answered.
It's just that she felt strange in her heart, this Ye Hongwen came to her, it didn't look like a simple chat. First of all, the location chosen is not like this, if it is just an ordinary homework, it can be done on the sofa in the living room, why choose the study on the second floor, and, if she is not mistaken, the maid has already locked the door when he left.
Sure enough, what Ye Hongwen said below verified his thoughts.
"Jingyi, the first time I saw you yesterday, I liked you very much. Li Xin can marry a girl like you, I think this is his blessing, and it is also the blessing of our Ye family. I don't hide it from you, after you and Li Xin left Orchid Garden yesterday, I sent someone to investigate you, I'm really curious, what kind of background girl will make Li Xin of our family tempted, and willingly enter into marriage. ”
Ye Hongwen paused when he said this, picked up the tea on the table, slowly and methodically used the teacup lid to push aside the tea leaves floating on the tea, took a sip gently, and then slowly put the cup back and covered it.
Jingyi watched him nervously as he made this series of movements, feeling inexplicably flustered in her heart, and her cheeks were slightly hot for some reason.
"The results of the investigation did surprise me. But, Jingyi, please don't get me wrong, what surprised me is not that you have ever been married, after all, it is your past, and I am not an antique of feudal society, and I will be so stubborn that I need my grandson to marry a famous family. It's just that I'm really old at this age, and my thinking can't keep up with the trend, and I believe in my bones that the descendants of our Ye family must have the genes of the Ye family, do you understand what I mean when I say this? ”
The words have already been said for this part, how can she not understand? I just don't understand why her heart hurts so much when she hears these words, and the pain makes her limbs tremble, and her lips suddenly turn white.
"Grandpa, no, Mr. Ye, I understand what you mean, I will leave here as soon as possible. You just think it's all a farce, right? It's me who is self-inflicted and has climbed your Ye family, and I am too selfish to use Li Xin to give birth to the child safely......"
In the end, her eyes were slightly red, but she stubbornly let those tears roll in her eyes, not letting them fall.
Even if her current situation is more embarrassing than being slapped in public, the stubbornness in her bones does not allow her to retreat, even if her heart has already been hurt by someone, she will grit her teeth and persist to the end.
Sometimes, she values her self-esteem more than anything else, and perhaps, occasionally, there is a real sense of loneliness in her. It's not stupid, it's not stupid, it's tenacious and brave.
"Mr. Ye, if there is nothing else, I will go back first. These days on the manor, homesick, goodbye. With that, she staggered to her feet and walked towards the door. The hand that twisted the doorknob trembled violently, and she seemed to have put all her strength together, but there was no way to open the door, and tears had fallen uncontrollably, blurring her vision.
"Jingyi, the door is locked, you come back and sit down, listen to me finish speaking, I'm only halfway through my words, why are you in such a hurry to leave, you kid!" Ye Hongwen's soft voice came from behind, which embarrassed her heart even more, what more embarrassing words did he have to say, wasn't it enough to hurt her? has to put all her humiliated past on the table one by one, watching her cry silently and her dignity swept away, will he feel that it is the end?
Sure enough, rich people are all the same, relying on their own power and power, they will trample low-level people under their feet at will, trampling on their self-esteem, until the other party has no way out, just like she is now.
There was no way back, so she had to wipe away her tears with her back and return to her original seat with difficulty.
Ye Hongwen seemed to have nothing to do, gentle and gentle, warm and kind.
It's just that she doesn't know why, but at this moment, she feels that this face is full of hypocrisy, and looking at it makes her sick to her stomach.
"If I'm not mistaken, you must hate me right now! Cursed me a thousand times and 10,000 words in my heart! Call me a hypocrite, scold me for pretending, and bullying others...... Actually, I just want to see your determination, and I want to know how strong your determination is to be with Li Xin. In fact, I was a little disappointed. ”
"Mr. Ye, what do you mean by that?"
"In my opinion, if you love someone enough, you have to face up to the challenge, no matter how big it is, right? How can you say that you will retreat, the outside world questions the relationship between you, you should not just feel wronged, but resolutely confront, and use all means to prove to others how indestructible your love is! ”
"Grandpa, I'm sorry." Hearing this, she gradually understood some eyebrows, but knowing that the situation just now was a misunderstanding did not make her too happy, after all, the naked reality was in front of her, she and Ye Lixin did not walk together because they loved each other, but more out of interests and mutual use, in her heart, she had been guessing how Li Xin would use her chess piece in the end.
"If you don't want to deceive me, an old man, tell me the truth, why are you together?"
Why are they together? She was also a little dazed......
She shook her head helplessly: "Grandpa, I really don't know, how things have developed to this point, Li Xin, the person in my heart is not me." ”
"Then the person in your heart, is that him?"
"Grandpa, I, I'm not sure yet." She answered truthfully.
"Jingyi, there is not much time left, you have to hurry up and make sure, this is a matter of great importance!"
"Grandpa, I don't understand what you mean." Whether she loves Ye Lixin or not, it's just a matter between them, so where to start?
"I think, you probably also saw Li Xin every day with the dragon in sight, he was very busy every day, but you never knew what he was busy with, right?"
In fact, this matter has to be said more than ten years ago, when Li Xin was still a young man in his early twenties, and his father was a military intelligence officer of a certain country. At that time, the underworld forces were developing rampantly. It just so happened that there was a scientific madman in that era, who developed a powerful biological and chemical weapon, and at that time, various organizations around the world wanted to get the formula of this biological weapon, and everyone competed for it, and the number of people who died for this matter increased day by day, and the governments and military intelligence bureaus of various countries also began to intervene in this matter to investigate and intervene. But in the end, the formula of the biological weapon still fell into the hands of a wealthy man, and he hooked up with the government of City A to create a document called "Extreme One", build a secret warlord base in City A, and start mass production of this biological and chemical weapon......"
"Knock, knock, knock......" Suddenly there was a rapid and violent knock on the door.
"Who's out there?" Ye Hongwen shouted towards the door.
"Grandpa, it's me, hurry up and open the door, I heard Aunt Rong say that Jingyi is here? What are you whispering, I'm going to get involved......"
"Stinky boy, we have something to talk about, you go downstairs and wait first, we'll go down after we talk."
