Chapter 9: Helplessness

Yijian returned to An's house, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, Yijian pushed open the entrance door, and saw An's mother and Tan Yina sitting on the sofa chatting, so she walked over to say hello.

"Mom~, Miss Tan." Yijian smiled and glanced at Tan Yina.

"I'm back, have you had dinner, if not, I'll let Mother Lin make it for you." Mother Ann asked in a concerned tone.

"No need, I've eaten it, thank you, Mom."

"Yijian, you should still call me Ina in the future, always call me Miss Tan, it sounds strange." Ina looked at Yijian's eyes seriously and said.

"Okay, Ina." Although I have only met a few times in a short time, Yijian really likes the noble and approachable Miss Tan in front of her, she thinks that Tan Yina is very generous and polite, and she is the type that both elders and friends can't help but like.

"Oh, Mom, I saw that the coffee beans at home were gone, so I brought you a few packets of Blue Mountain Coffee, and I went to make you coffee." Yijian took out the Blue Mountain coffee in the bag and said.

"Okay, I like your coffee the most."

"Then you wait a while, I'll soak it for you." Yijian turned and walked to the kitchen.

"The coffee brewed by Yijian is really good, you can taste it later."

"Okay, Auntie." Ina looked at An's mother happily and said.

"By the way, I haven't seen you all these days, what are you doing?" Mother Ann began to find a topic.

"Oh, Aunt Hui, I just came to the company these days, so I'm a little busy." As soon as Ina returned to Tan's house, her parents arranged an internship in the company, hoping that she could learn more about the company's business and hand over the company to her earlier.

"And where do you work now?"

"Tan's Film Co., Ltd., because it's my father's company, so..."Ina had a helpless expression.

"Oh, so you're Boss Tan's daughter?" An's mother was a little surprised.

"Well, does Auntie know my dad too?" This time, I was a little surprised.

"I've met a few times, but I'm not very familiar with each other, Tan's Pictures is also a top company in the film and television industry, but why don't you want to go in your tone?"

"Auntie, I don't have any interest in film and television, but I am the only child in our family, so this time I returned to China, and my father said that he would not agree to me going to work in other companies, and insisted that I go to the film industry to help." Ina explained.

"That's right, so what company do you want to work for?"

"Of course I want to. . . Stay by Cheng Xuan's side and work with him, but.." Ina looked at An's mother shyly and affectionately.

Mother An understood Yina's thoughts, and looked at Tan Yina with satisfaction, as if she was quite satisfied with her future daughter-in-law, "In fact, in addition to work, you still have a lot of time to spend with Chengxuan." ”

"I want to, but you also know that once he gets to work, he will devote himself to it and don't care about anything else." Ina, who was holding An's mother's hand, shook her hand slightly, with a little dissatisfaction and coquettishness in her tone.

"Young people, there are inevitably some young and vigorous, they want to do everything to the best of their ability, you have to understand him." An's mother patted Ina's hand and comforted.

"Well, I understand~"

Yijian was making coffee in the kitchen, and heard the conversation between An's mother and Tan Yina in the living room, thinking about when she would be as likable as Tan Yina, and sighed softly, maybe she would never be like her, they were not from the same world.

Yijian walked to the living room with coffee and brought it to An's mother and Tan Yina.

"Thank you." Ina said politely and took a sip, "It's really good, how can you make such delicious coffee." ”

"Uh... Thanks, I actually work in a café, so I learned from the people there. Yi Jian replied as he sat down on the sofa.

"Cafe? How do you end up working in a café? Ina was slightly surprised in her eyes.

"It's nothing, hehe, it's just that the café was hiring at that time, so I went." Jane said as if she were talking about someone else's business.

"Oh . . . You want to run your own café in the future, right? Ina asked with a smile.

"No, no.. Huh.." How is it possible, how can she open a café, she may only be a small clerk in her life, hehe, maybe if she is lucky, she can only become the manager of the Kaffa Town branch, but she is quite satisfied with the current state, although the work of the café is sometimes very busy, but there are her friends, there are things she likes to do, the most important thing is that she can be herself there, unlike when she settled down, she has always been very reserved.

Mother An saw that Yijian was a little embarrassed, so she interrupted and said: "I have always wanted Yijian to come to my company to help, but this child just refused, saying that he didn't understand these businesses and was afraid of causing trouble to the company, but I saw that she was also very happy to work in the café, so I let her go." ”

Yijian looked at An's mother with grateful eyes, she just didn't want to have too much to do with the An family, after all, she was just an adopted child of the An family, and she didn't want to get too involved in the An family's family business, so as not to cause more misunderstandings. Moreover, An Jia has been trying his best to hide the adoption, and he is not very confident about arranging her in the company, in case she is discovered, I am afraid that it will cause the entire company to talk about it and point fingers.

As he spoke, Cheng Xuan walked in from outside, "I'm back." "It's still the same extremely cold voice.

"Chengxuan, you're back." Ina happily ran to Chengxuan and pulled Chengxuan to the sofa and sat down.

"Why did you come back so late, Ina has been waiting for you here for a long time." Hearing An's mother say this, Ina lowered her head and was a little shy.

"There's something going on in the company, so it's late."

"Would you like a cup of coffee, I'll pour it for you." Yijian looked up and saw Cheng Xuan looking at him with strange eyes, his heart jumped suddenly, and he subconsciously asked.

"No, you don't." Cheng Xuan continued to look at Yijian expressionlessly. Thinking that Yan Yi hadn't told her that he had found out that she was the person he was looking for, or even if he told her, she wasn't surprised at all, why she was still drinking coffee leisurely with a calm expression, Cheng Xuan couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, and looked at Yi Jian out of his mind.

Yijian saw Cheng Xuan staring at him, and instead lowered his head to avoid his gaze, did Yan Yi already tell Cheng Xuan what they knew before? It must have been, they were so good friends, it wasn't strange to tell him, what to do, how to explain it if he asked her.

"Chengxuan, Chengxuan~" Ina pushed his Chengxuan's body, "Why are you staring at Yijian like this." ”

"No, I don't." Cheng Xuan replied nonchalantly.

After sending Ina back to An's house, An's mother had already gone upstairs to rest, leaving Yijian alone in the kitchen to clean up the residues on the coffee machine and clean the cups. Cheng Xuan saw Yi Jian, so he walked straight to the kitchen, Yi Jian unnaturally avoided his actions when he drank coffee just now, and Yan Yi was unusually quiet these days, quiet is a little bit different from his feeling, Cheng Xuan already has the answer in his heart, but he still wants to go over to make sure.

Yijian heard movement at the door, stretched out his head to look in the direction of the door, and saw Chengxuan walking towards him, Yijian's hand holding the rag stopped in mid-air, stupidly stunned in place.

Cheng Xuan approached Yijian, "Yan Yi told you." Cheng Xuan said expressionlessly.

"Hmm... He told you all about it? Yi Jian replied in a deep voice.

"Are you okay?" Cheng Xuan looked at Yi Jian's somewhat gloomy eyes.

"I'm fine." Yijian smiled, how could she be fine, she had something, she didn't know how to face Yan Yi in the future, should she face him easily as if nothing happened six years ago, or should she ignore him who didn't say goodbye six years ago, causing her to be helpless.

"Actually, Yan Yi he.."

"Don't worry, he doesn't know about my relationship with you and An Jia, and I won't tell him." Yijian snatched Chengxuan's words and said with a slightly hurt expression. Isn't he just worried that Yan Yi will find out about her connection with him and the An family, afraid that others will know that she has such an annoying and useless "sister", hehe, Yijian felt a little pain in her heart, don't worry, I won't let Yan Yi know.

Cheng Xuan didn't expect Yi Jian to answer like this, and his originally calm facial expression fluctuated a little. Could it be that in her heart, he is such a cold-blooded, ruthless, and unreasonable person, he is a little angry.

"That's for the best." Yan Yi glanced at Yi Jian coldly, and turned to leave.

The starry sky tonight is beautiful, Yijian stood on the balcony and looked up at the sky, she had to think calmly, think about what to do with what had just happened. Looking at the lights in the distance, Yijian recalled the past, Yijian thought of the past, when she was sad in the past, Yan Yi would always accompany her, she was not good at homework, he would tutor her, she was injured, he was more nervous than her, her mother died, he silently accompanied her to be sad.... Thinking of this, Yijian couldn't help but shed tears from the corners of his eyes, crying wordlessly, yes, what's wrong with him, even their closest relatives and friends left her one by one six years ago, not to mention that he was just a neighbor of hers, and he was just a teenage boy at that time, why did he stay to take care of her.

"Hey, Vice President Yan, there are some important documents in the company that you need to sign, do you think I will send them to you now?" Yan Yi's secretary called.

"I know, you can let Lao Wu send it over." After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Yan Yi didn't go to work in the company for the past two days, locked himself at home, and kept thinking about the conversation he had with Yijian in the park that day, Yijian said that she needed to think quietly and reorganize their relationship, he wanted to find her in the café several times, but he was afraid that she hadn't thought about it yet, so she couldn't hide from her, so she had to hold back.

"Su Yi." Yan Yi still couldn't hold back and came to the café to find her, he wanted to explain to her everything that happened six years ago.

"Yan Yi.." Yijian looked up and saw Yan Yi standing under the street lamp, his figure looked a little gloomy and lonely under the light of the street lamp.

"How's it going, how are you doing these two days?" Yan Yi pretended to be relaxed and said.

"It's alright, what about you?"

"Me too... Can you walk with me? ”

"Hmm.."

Yan Yi accompanied Yijian on the path to the bus stop, "Su Yi, why do you seem to be a little unhappy." ”

"Yan Yi, you still call me Yijian." Yijian held his foot and looked directly at Yan Yi's gaze.

"Why, are you still blaming me?" There was no questioning, but the tone was a little sad to hear.

"No, I'm just not used to being called Su Yi now." Yijian spent six years desperately forgetting this name, but every time she heard Yan Yi scream once, her bad memories would surface once, and her heart would hurt one more time, she really didn't want to continue to hurt.

"I see." Yan Yi replied in frustration.

"By the way, why did you change your name too?" These days, sadness has covered the doubts in her heart, if he appeared as Zhang Junyi from the beginning, wouldn't she have been mentally prepared earlier.

Yijian continued to walk, looking at Cheng Xuan, who was walking side by side, stopped, and she also stopped and replied to him, "What's wrong?" ”

"I'm here today to talk about it." Yan Yi walked to a bench on the side of the road and sat down, and Yijian followed.

"One day six years ago, my mom received a call from the Public Security Bureau, saying that my dad... Jumped off the building to commit suicide, at that time my dad had been desperately trying to make money to pay off his debts after the business investment failed two years ago, and finally couldn't bear the pressure and chose to commit suicide, that night my mom packed up and took me back to my dad's house overnight, and then it was a few days of funeral, I clearly remember that I was stupid at the time, I couldn't believe that my dad was dead, I looked at the portrait of my dad in the mourning hall and just kept standing, not eating or sleeping. Yan Yi wiped his nose and turned his head away, trying his best to hide his sad look.

"After a few days, I slowly recovered, and in those days there were constantly creditors coming to collect debts, and I was a little overwhelmed, and then when I woke up, I wanted to go back to you, but my mother wouldn't let me, afraid that I would be followed by creditors. I called your home, but you didn't answer, I asked my classmates to go to your class to look for you, but you weren't there, I was very worried, one day I secretly ran to the station, wanted to take the car back to find you, but was met by the creditor who was following me, I had to run desperately, fled home, hum..."

Yijian tried to recall that at that time, for a long time after her mother's death, she was afraid to live alone at home, and one of her mother's best friends took her back to her house and let her live with her temporarily, and then she asked for leave from school to deal with the affairs of the family. But when she came back to look for him later, the neighbor told her that he had moved away and had never seen Junyi since, "At that time, I had been living in an aunt's house. Yijian recalled.

"I see... No wonder.. Later, because of debts, my mother soon decided to agree to marry the CEO of a company that had always had a crush on her, which is my current father, heh... He helped our family pay off all the debts, and promised my mother to send me to study abroad, and my mother probably didn't want me to see her married and living with that person, so I stayed in the United States for five years. Yan Yi raised his head and looked at Yi Jian, who was listening to him carefully, and waved his hand upward, pretending to be calm and not caring.

"That's why you changed your name to Yan Yi, right?" He said in a soft tone.

"Yes, that person doesn't have children, and that's one of his conditions." Yan Yi doesn't matter, it's just a name, as long as he is still him, as long as he doesn't change, everything is still the same.

"Ha~~" Yi Jian couldn't help but sigh, "It turns out that so many things have happened to you over the years, no wonder.." Yijian originally thought that only her past was so sad and unfortunate, but now she found out that Yan Yi was the same as her, just pretending to be unconcerned on the surface, this kind of disguise she was very familiar with, she felt a little sorry for him, if it was in the past, she would definitely hug him and comfort him, but everything has changed, now they are two different people, how should she treat the past person in front of her.

"Tell me about you." Yan Yi mentioned his spirit, and his burning eyes turned to Yijian and said.

"I, I'm actually very simple, I'm luckier than you, there is a family that looks like I'm helpless, so they adopted me, and I changed my name on the household register, and I've been living here ever since." To put it mildly.

"Really, then how have you spent all these years, is the person who adopted you good to you, who adopted you.." Yan Yi asked again and again.

Yijian was stunned and was silent for a moment, "Junyi, I'll tell you about it when I have a chance in the future." ”

Yan Yi heard Yijian call him this, and he was so happy that he forgot what he had just asked, "Oh.. Good. ”

"Then I'll go first, it's late, we'll see you another day." With that, Jane got up from her chair and picked up her bag.

"Okay then, I'll send you."

"No, you don't." Yijian immediately replied, "I'm really not used to having someone send me... Besides, if my family saw me with you, maybe they would be cranky. "I just made up a reason.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Yan Yi's eyes, but he instantly understood: "Then will we still be the same as before, I mean we are still friends?" ”

"Yes, always." Yijian looked at Yan Yi with an affirmative expression, smiled at him, and turned around and walked towards the bus stop.
