Chapter 13: Misunderstanding

On Saturday night, Ina had just returned from a business trip to Hainan and came to Anjia Villa.

"Miss Tan, why are you here?" Mother Lin saw that it was all at this point, and Tan Yina didn't know what was going on.

"Hello, Mama Lin. I had just come back from a business trip and I was passing by and wanted to come in and say hello. Ina said in a sweet voice.

"Oh, that's right, then please come in and sit down." Mother Lin said politely.

"Oh, by the way, Mother Lin, is he at home?"

"The young master is out, maybe he will come back in a while, Mrs. An is resting in the room, I'll go and call her for you."

"Okay, thank you, Mama Lin."

Today is a weekend, and An's mother, who had been nervous for a week's work, originally planned to rest early, so she changed into a nightdress early, lay on the bed and closed her eyes to recuperate.

"Auntie, did I disturb your rest?" Ina who was sitting on the sofa stood up and smiled at An's mother.

"How can it be, it's still early." Ann's mother responded.

"By the way, Auntie, this is the coconut shortbread I brought back from Hainan on a business trip, betel nut wine and some seafood products, for you to taste." Talking about Yina, she introduced the Hainan specialties on the table one by one.

"It's so polite, it's so hard to bring us gifts on a business trip, it's really heartfelt, thank you." After Mother An finished speaking, she asked Mother Lin to put away the gift.

"You're welcome, Auntie."

"Mama Lin.. Go cook some snacks and come over, Ina should be hungry when she comes back in a hurry, and the old lady and Yiling will come back later, so you can cook more. An's mother shouted in the direction of the kitchen.

"Yes, ma'am."

"Thank you, Auntie."

"It's okay, you're here to find Chengxuan, right?" Mother An raised her eyebrows and asked in a lazy tone.

"No," Ina was instantly shy, her face a little hot, "I just wanted to come over to see my aunt and grandma, and by the way, I had something to do with Chengxuan...".

"Hehe, that's the case, Auntie understands." Mother Ann looked at Ina with deep understanding and smiled.

"By the way, you just said that grandma and Yiling are coming back, and they are also going away?" Ina tried to divert the conversation.

"Oh, no, it's just that on the weekend, Yiling doesn't have to go to class, so grandma took Yiling to a friend's house to relax, that friend is our family's family friend, and the children of the two families grew up together, so Yiling also likes to play with them."

"Oh, that's right."

Time ticked and ticked by, "Where did this Chengxuan go, why hasn't he come back yet, this kid is really." An's mother looked at her watch and then at the door, and said in a muffled voice.

In a gym in the city, An Chengxuan and Yan Yi were sweating on the treadmill.

"No, no... Hertz.. Heh.." Yan Yi turned off the treadmill, stepped off the machine, and gasped for breath with his waist down.

Cheng Xuan also turned off the treadmill, took off the towel hanging on his shoulder, wiped his face, and stood there looking at Yan Yi.

"I said An Chengxuan, why aren't you tired." Yan Yi said dejectedly.

"I'm tired, but no matter how tired I am, I have to last longer than you."

"Okay, you boy." Yan Yi hooked Cheng Xuan's shoulder with his hand, "Let's go, let's have tea, I'll have a treat." ”

Came to the tea restaurant next to the gym, and the two of them were leisurely drinking tea.

"You've been in a good mood lately." Cheng Xuan suddenly spoke.

"yes, what, you're worried about me?" Yan Yi said with an indecent look.

"It's all settled?"

"How to say it," Yan Yi pondered, "The solution is solved, but it still feels a little weird. ”

"What do you mean?"

Yan Yi reminisced and said: "I think she has changed. Then after a pause, she continued, "She became... Very cautious, becoming shy, becoming more like a woman, not the little girl she used to be. ”

Cheng Xuan looked at Yan Yi and seemed to understand what he meant.

Yan Yi continued to explain: "For example, if I accidentally touch her hand, she will dodge, I go to the café to find her, she always cares about other people's eyes, I want to send her home, but she refuses again and again, I can't think of any other reason for her besides growing up and becoming a woman." ”

Cheng Xuan was speechless for a while, his heart was inexplicably a little mixed, and he wanted to scold him strangely, his expression was no longer calm, but stared at Yan Yi a little angrily.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Yan Yi looked at Cheng Xuan's unhappy face and looked at him, and asked a little inexplicably.

"I didn't.." Cheng Xuan heard Yan Yi's question, turned his eyes to look away, and slowly fell into some kind of incomprehensible myth, what was wrong with him, why did he want to be angry, what was he angry about, and there was a bitter chest tightness in his heart.

"Old lady, young lady, you are back." Mother Lin saw Mrs. An and Yiling walking in and called.

"Mom, Yiling, you're back, come, come and try the lotus seed soup made by Mother Lin." Mother Ann got up from her chair and said.

"Hello grandma, Yiling... You.. How did you.. Stood up? Ina was a little stunned when she saw Yiling's feet standing on the ground intact.

Mother An looked at the surprised Yina and explained carefully, "Yiling is just very weak, not disabled, she is in good shape today, so she was allowed to come down and go out to play." ”。

"Oh . . . I'm sorry, Yiling, I misunderstood. Ina said with some shame.

"It's okay." Yiling didn't care about the reply.

Mrs. An broke the embarrassing atmosphere just now and said, "I happen to be a little hungry, come, Yiling, and eat lotus seed soup with grandma." After speaking, he lovingly took Yiling's hand and walked to the table, for fear of bumping her.

"Why is Ina here today, are you here to find Chengxuan?"

"Yes, Grandma."

"Is there anything urgent about coming to Chengxuan so late?"

"Actually, it's nothing, it's my birthday in a few days, two days ago Chengxuan bought me a birthday gift, but I accidentally lost it, I searched all corners of the room, my office, and my car, I didn't find it, so I think it may be that when Chengxuan sent me home that day, I fell on Chengxuan's car, just today I just came back from a business trip, passing by here, I wanted to come in to greet my grandmother and auntie, and ask him by the way."

"Oh, that's the case, what kind of gift is so precious, no, I can ask Chengxuan to buy you another one."

Ina shook her head, then took out the photo from her phone and handed it to Mrs. An.

"This bracelet is really good." Old Lady An smiled and nodded.

This necklace: Yiling, who was sitting next to Mrs. An, glanced at the picture in the phone as if she remembered something, yes, she remembered that two days ago, she saw the bracelet that Yijian put on the coffee table was exactly the same as the one in this photo, and that day Yijian was also back to the home with Chengxuan.

"Was An Yijian there on the day my brother gave you the bracelet?" Yijian looked at Ina and asked.

"Not really," Ina paused and continued to think, "but on the way home, I ran into Yijian, so we came back in Chengxuan's car." ”

"Then I'll understand, I know where the necklace is." Yiling said with a look of conviction, and got up and ran upstairs.

"Yiling, you slow down.." Mrs. An shouted anxiously behind her, and Mother An felt strange and followed Ina upstairs.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk..." Yijian was startled by the eager knock on the door, and hurriedly ran over to open the door and saw Yiling at the door.

"What's the matter?" Before Yijian could finish asking, Yiling broke into Yijian's room and rummaged around. As he searched, he said, "I saw that she had it." ”

An's mother walked into the room unhappily, "Yiling, what are you doing?" ”

Yiling didn't answer, and continued to frantically rummage through the cabinets, and Yijian was a little frightened and froze in place.

"Yiling.." Mother Ann called again impatiently.

"I saw that she also had an identical bracelet. It must have been her who took Ina's gift. Yiling roared, searched to the end, and opened the bottom drawer of Yijian's wardrobe. What are these .." Yiling was strange, and then kept throwing out the boxes one by one, until she saw the small gift box, Yijian wanted to stop her, but was pushed aside by Yiling hard.

"Look." Yiling raised the small box in his hand, opened the box violently, took out the bracelet and faced everyone, looked at Yiling and said, "You didn't steal it." ”

"I didn't steal." Yijian stammered: "This is ....."

"And these, what are these, where did you get so many gifts, don't tell me that they are all don't give..."Yiling said aggressively.

At this time, An Chengxuan also returned home, and heard the sound of "Jian Long, Jian Long" upstairs and Yiling's roar from time to time, thinking that something had happened to Yiling, and hurriedly ran upstairs and walked in the direction of the sound.

"I didn't," said Jane's anxious voice, which was about to cry, "it was really someone else's gift." ”

"How is it possible, even if it is sent, how can it be exactly the same as Ina." Yiling refuted loudly.

Yijian wanted to refute, but before she could explain, Yiling took out the envelope that Yijian had hidden in the book and shook it.

"And where did you get so much money." Yiling picked up the money that was smashed out of the ground and asked.

"Yiling, what are you doing?" Cheng Xuan's angry voice came from the door.

Yiling looked up and saw Cheng Xuan, who was frowning and his face was not very good-looking, "Brother, she stole Sister Ina's bracelet.." Pointing to the bracelet as she spoke, Ina also looked back and saw Cheng Xuan, and eagerly called his name.

Cheng Xuan recalled that day in the mall, she accompanied Ina to choose a birthday gift, and suddenly remembered that a few days ago Yijian donated blood for Yiling, thinking that he didn't thank Yijian properly, so he decided to go back to the jewelry store to buy a similar bracelet for Yijian to show his gratitude, but the clerk told him that there were no other similar styles, so he bought a similar one.

"This is what I gave her." An Chengxuan shouted angrily.

The crowd was dumbfounded.

"How is this possible for you to give her, brother, how can you give her a gift, and this bracelet also has a love pendant." Yiling sneered loudly in disbelief.

"I sent it, I just wanted to thank her for what she did for you at the hospital." An Chengxuan rudely interrupted Yiling.

Yijian leaned over to pick up the large and small gift boxes and cash scattered all over the ground, smiled bitterly in her heart, her eyes were full of tears, no, she couldn't cry, she couldn't be so weak in front of others, these are all small things, yes, small things, Yi Jian held back her tears and got up and put things away one by one and put them back in the drawer.

An's mother looked at Yijian worriedly and called, "Yijian.."

Yijian turned around, walked towards An's mother with two stacks of envelopes containing money, and forced herself to say calmly to An's mother: "Mom, this is what I have been doing in the past year... The money you earn working in a café is just... I wanted to pay you back all the high school and college fees, but... So far, I've only scraped together enough tuition for two academic years, hehe..."Yijian paused, picked up his breath and continued: "And this stack is the money you bought for me in the past few years, I secretly took it to change, you know... I don't usually get used to wearing too beautiful clothes, and those gifts," Yijian turned back and pointed to the big and small boxes, "It's all given to me by you on weekdays, and I haven't opened it yet..."

"Yijian..."An's mother forked.

Yijian took a deep breath, smiled at An's mother, turned around and took the small gift box and walked towards Cheng Xuan, picking up one of Cheng Xuan's hands, "I said it, it's too precious." With a smile, she returned the box to him.

"Mom, I'm sorry, I want to go to a friend's house these days." After speaking, Yijian ran straight out of the room.

Cheng Xuan hurriedly chased out, standing behind Yi Jian, and shouted in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry..."

"...."Yijian stopped when he heard the sound, did not answer, and continued to walk quickly.

"It's so late, where are you going..."

"Please, don't follow me..."Don't follow her anymore, or she will really cry uncontrollably, Yi Jian thought to herself.

Cheng Xuan was stunned, but he couldn't say anything to stay, so he froze in place, not moving his steps for a long, long time.

Yijian ran wildly on the road, and the scenery around her passed by in front of her eyes, but she didn't remember what she had just seen, she just felt that it was as dark as her current mood. After a long, long run, she stopped and crouched on the side of the road, buried her chin in her knee, and bit her lower lip to keep herself from crying.

I don't know how long it took, Yijian slowly raised his head to look at the dark sky, supported his tired body with his hands, and walked towards Xiyu's house with difficulty.

An family villa, after An Yiling made such a fuss, Yina was in a trance, thinking that the people of the An family should not want outsiders to continue to watch how they handled housework, so they said goodbye to the An family and went back to their own home.

An's mother stood there, looking at the neat and empty room that Yijian had cleaned up, and suddenly understood. Yijian has never regarded the An family as her home, she is ready to leave at any time, for so many years, she has always thought that Yijian has completely accepted herself and accepted the An family, but she thought wrong, Yijian did not, she still has no real stability, so many years, she didn't know anything about Yijian, she couldn't help but feel heartache, and saw Yijian's decisive eyes when she left just now, An's mother sighed and shed tears.

An Yiling was also stunned, and a strong uneasiness couldn't help but come out of her heart, thinking of An Chengxuan's yelling at herself just now, thinking of An's mother's quiet tears, this time she was really going to lose the care of this family.
