End of the year.
Xie Jing called and said that he was going back to Lanzhen to celebrate the New Year with his old man. Zhou He also said that he was going back to Lanzhen. He also made an appointment with Liu Cong for a basketball game.
On that day, Jin Yan and Yu Qingtang went to the airport to pick up Xie Jing, but unexpectedly found that He Xiao was also back.
Knowing He Xiao's attitude towards her, Jin Yan was always polite when entertaining her.
But today, from the moment they met, He Xiao kept talking about her.
Jin Yan felt that if He Xiao rated a person's full score as ten, then she might be a negative number, or even negative infinity.
And this guess will soon have an answer.
When Xie Jing and Yu Qingtang went to get their suitcases, He Xiao suddenly said, "Are you really together?"
Jin Yan's expression remained unchanged, "Yes."
He Xiao: "There is a generation gap between you. He is ten years older than you."
Jin Yan raised his eyes to look at her, and when he spoke, the corners of his lips were moved, revealing a cold smile, "So what?"
He Xiao frowned and said dissatisfied, "When you are together, there will always be rumors. You might as well consider your peers..."
Jin Yan was obedient, but she didn't like to listen to irrelevant people preaching to her. She simply broke through the window paper and got straight to the point, "Are you talking about Xie Jing?"
He Xiao's face turned cold.
Jin Yan: "You can rest assured that I will not harm your son. I only regard him as an older brother."
Unexpectedly, these words angered He Xiao.
As if she had suffered great humiliation, she was furious and spoke indiscriminately, "I have seen many girls like you..."
"You might as well tell me frankly, what kind of girl am I?" Jin Yan also darkened her face.
Although He Xiao and the old man seemed to have reconciled, they were far from relieved, not close enough, and did not have the kind of affection between father and daughter.
She didn't go back to China often, and she didn't stay very long each time. Jin Yan couldn't say a few words to her most of the time.
She knew that He Xiao didn't like her, but this was the first time she really saw He Xiao's malice toward her.
He Xiao said nothing, but her condescending and domineering eyes began to glance at Jin Yan again, as if she was sizing up the quality of a product and evaluating its price.
At this time, Jin Yan suddenly said: "Why are you so malicious towards me?"
He Xiao was stunned.
She didn't expect Jin Yan to ask this question.
Jin Yan also showed the same scrutinizing gaze, looked at He Xiao from head to toe, and finally said with a hint of ridicule: "I understand. You left your hometown and wandered around when you were a child, but you still believe that you are stubborn, resentful and innocent by nature." People, you are not happy enough. You see that I have a father and a mother who love me, and your son also likes me, so you hate me and you are jealous of me."
"Nonsense!" He Xiao yelled angrily, but her pupils twitched, as if something had hit her.
Jin Yan was too lazy to talk to her. She said, "I also hate being conceited. Now it's proven that we both hate each other. That's the best thing. But I want to remind you, it doesn't matter what you do, but it's best not to let it go." Grandpa and my dad were not happy.”
He Xiao disdainfully said, "It's not your junior's turn to tell me what I should do."
Xie Jing and Yu Qingtang were walking towards them. Jin Yan glanced at them, turned back and smiled at He Xiao, "Of course you can do whatever you want, as long as you can bear the cost of being willful."
Realizing that the "price" she mentioned was referring to "Xie Jing", He Xiao was so angry that his face turned livid and his teeth hurt.
When they arrived at home, Xie Jing and He Xiao went to see the old man. Yu Qingtang pulled Jin Yan over and asked her what happened.
On the way back, Jin Yan and He Xiao sat in the back row. They didn't say a word and the atmosphere was very stiff.
Jin Yan didn't hide anything. She told how He Xiao humiliated her and how she threatened He Xiao. After talking, she found that Yu Qingtang's face looked ugly, as if he wanted to kill someone.
"I've warned her, she won't meddle in her own business anymore," Jin Yan said.
From that day on, whenever he left the old man's sight, Yu Qingtang's attitude towards He Xiao was very cold. Yu Sheng and the others saw the clues, but did not go into details.
They understand Yu Qingtang's character and know that everything he does must have a legitimate reason.
And this reason will only be their daughter.
Two days later, Zhou He also arrived in Lanzhen. He was still carefree. He just warned Yu Qingtang before playing basketball that if he dared to treat Jin Yan badly, he would beat Yu Qingtang's teeth all over the floor.
But to be honest, if we really talk about his skills, he is probably the one looking for teeth all over the place.
Later, after the basketball game, Zhou He complained to Xie Jing in private, saying that his father regretted it to death, regretting that he insisted on marrying Yu Sheng and ended up harming his son.
Zhou He said: "I don't think this is harming me. How many people in this world can meet someone they really like? I think I am very lucky."
Although I am talking about him, I am actually talking about Xie Jing.
Zhou He stayed in Lan Town for a few days and then returned to the capital to celebrate the New Year. Xie Jing stayed until the New Year and left.
He is the heir to the Xie family, he cannot help himself and cannot always be willful.
On Jinyan's birthday in the same year, she and Yu Qingtang were engaged to get married.
Xie Jing took time out of his busy schedule to attend their wedding banquet, and then hurried back abroad. He had never drank alcohol or was addicted to cigarettes. He was hungover that day and smoked all night.
When He Xiao saw Xie Jing's appearance, he scolded him for being useless and said that it was not worth it for Jin Yan.
Marriage is such an important thing. It’s just a matter of giving yourself to a man who is ten years older than you and was your brother-in-law. Even the wedding is held in such a hurry. It shows that you are playing with the world and treating marriage as a child’s play. Such a person , and what is there that others should like about it?
Xie Jing listened indifferently and didn't refute anything.
He had known that his mother was naive, self-centered and stubborn since he was a child. He thought she would slowly change, but he never expected that she would say bad things about Jin Yan in front of Yu Sheng, and would say those vicious and humiliating words to Jin Yan behind his and Yu Qingtang's back.
No wonder she thought that Jin Yan didn't like him because of what Yu Sheng said and that he had objections to her.
What would Yu Sheng say?
How could such a father, who loved his daughter dearly, tell his daughter about other people's ill intentions towards his daughter?
Jin Yan just didn't like him, there was no other reason.
A month later, the old man passed away with a smile on his face, and his family accompanied him on the last journey of his life.
Previously, He Xiao chose a unilateral cold war because of Xie Jing's "indifference" to her, which also caused her to miss the opportunity to see the old man for the last time.
When she and her husband rushed to Lanzhen, they found that "she" was among the people keeping vigil.
Later she found out that Jin Yan found this woman from nowhere. Her temperament and appearance were very similar to hers. After applying makeup, she could almost look fake. They used this woman as her "stand-in" for this purpose. Don't let the old man leave with regrets.
The wedding of Jin Yan and Yu Qingtang, whom she had repeatedly belittled and looked down upon, was held in a hurry after they realized that the old man's time was running out. The purpose was not to leave any regrets for the old man.
After learning the truth, He Xiao was greatly stimulated. She believed that everything was Jin Yan's fault. It was Jin Yan who caused her to separate from her son. Therefore, she habitually tried to relieve her regret and guilt by diverting her hatred and venting it. However, This time no one indulged her anymore.
The old man's funeral was over and everything became peaceful.
At this time, He Xiaocai realized belatedly that the old man who would tolerate and forgive her unconditionally was no longer there.
Never, ever, never come back again,
