Ruan Yi was very smart and immediately guessed that he couldn't just say this.
Including the sudden and unusual statement that he wanted to send her to school, he might have something to say.
Ruan Yi: "Both my elders and my grandfather are very kind to me. I am very grateful. It is my luck to meet them."
Xu Siyan: "You'd better really think so."
Ruan Yi: "Yes, it's true."
She understood that Xu Siyan probably felt that everything she did in front of Wan Liu and Xu Moyan was to please them.
Ruan Yi didn't want him to think too badly of her in this regard.
After lowering his head and thinking about it, Ruan Yi explained to him: "I treat them as family members, just like my own family. I don't have any other purpose for being nice to them. You can rest assured."
The long red light passed.
Xu Siyan stepped on the accelerator and turned the steering wheel to ask her, "Did I say you had a purpose?"
Ruan Yi: "Sorry, maybe I'm too sensitive. I just don't want you to misunderstand."
Xu Siyan: "I'm usually busy with work, and you don't know how to coax people."
This must be the first time he has said such a long conversation to her calmly, "Since they like you, spend more time with them when you have time. As long as you can make them happy."
Ruan Yi: "Okay."
Xu Siyan: "As long as you stay like this, I won't do anything to you."
Ruan Yi continued to nod: "I understand."
Xu Siyan probably found a little bit of her value in this marriage - honoring his parents for him.
His expression today was much more tactful than usual, but Ruan Yi could tell that he was making a deal with her.
If she plays the role of a good daughter-in-law obediently and quietly, and does not make unrealistic demands on him or complain in front of his parents, he will not divorce her.
fine.
Ruan Yi originally thought so too.
Afterwards, neither of them spoke to each other. Xu Siyan always talked little, and after expressing what he wanted to say, he would not talk nonsense to her again.
Midway, Ruan Yi heard Xu Siyan answer the phone.
There was a man's voice on the other side of the phone. Ruan Yi didn't deliberately listen to the content of their conversation, but she heard Jiang Mingzhu's name.
Jiang Mingzhu.
It's hard not to remember this name that turned Xu Siyan and Zhou Li into enemies.
On the day of her wedding to Xu Siyan, Jiang Mingzhu also passed by.
Xu Siyan went to talk to her in the lounge, and it was Ruan Yi who called Xu Siyan away at that time.
Jiang Mingzhu is very beautiful, with a flamboyant beauty. She is aggressive, but sometimes she looks very innocent.
All in all, it’s a look that’s easy to remember.
Ruan Yi has only seen her twice and has clearly remembered her appearance.
After mentioning Jiang Mingzhu, Xu Siyan's usually indifferent mood finally began to rise and fall.
Ruan Yi heard him raise his voice, and every word was filled with urgency and worry: "Wait, I'll be there right away."
Ruan Yi turned to look out the window and happened to see the wind outside blowing away a few leaves on the tree.
She wasn't sad or jealous, and her heartbeat was calm.
Probably because it was still a few hundred meters away from the school gate, Xu Siyan still put her at the school gate with great interest.
Ruan Yi said goodbye to him politely.
As soon as she got out of the car, the off-road vehicle sped away.
——
Ruan Yi didn't know what happened to Jiang Mingzhu that day.
Her attention did not linger on this matter for long. The midterm exam was coming soon and her work schedule was very full.
Naturally, he has no contact with Xu Siyan, but Ruan Yi has been fulfilling his promise and will go to Xu's house when he is free.
After the midterm exam, Ruan Yi suddenly received a call from Wan Liu while he was working overtime at school to grade papers.
Wan Liu told her that there was a wedding going on in Yuanye next week and he wanted to take her there with him.
On the phone, Wan Liu didn't say who Yuanye was marrying, and Ruan Yi didn't think much about it when he agreed.
It wasn't until Wan Liu sent her a photo of the invitation on WeChat that Ruan Yi's pupils trembled when she zoomed in and saw the bride's name.
She double-checked several times before she was sure she had read it correctly.
The bride...is Jiang Mingzhu.
Ruan Yi's brain was in a state of confusion. She had no intention of prying into other people's privacy, but Jiang Mingzhu's series of operations could easily arouse people's curiosity.
Ruan Yi vaguely felt that Jiang Mingzhu’s decision to marry Yuanye seemed like she was out of spite——
However, she could not imagine whether the object of her anger was Xu Siyan or Zhou Li.
If it was Xu Siyan, then she would be angry with him for betraying his feelings and marrying someone else;
If it was Zhou Li, then she would tell him: Even if she and Xu Siyan were separated, she would not choose him.
It's hard to imagine how two people could get into such trouble.
Although he was very curious, Ruan Yi only spent time thinking about this matter by himself and did not discuss it with anyone or even ask Wan Liu.
Wan Liu didn't seem to know about Jiang Mingzhu and Xu Siyan. It was better to have less than anything more, and Ruan Yi didn't mention it to her.
——
Ruan Yi met Xu Siyan again at the wedding held by Yuanye and Jiang Mingzhu.
Xu Siyan's emotions were not as strong as Ruan Yi imagined.
While the wedding ceremony was going on, Ruan Yi walked through the crowd and secretly observed Xu Siyan's condition.
Although he kept looking at Jiang Mingzhu, there was no anger in his eyes. On the contrary, there was a kind of compromise like resignation.
Across the crowd, Ruan Yi could feel his helplessness, or despair.
At that moment, Ruan Yi couldn't help but condemn himself.
She thought that the question she had thought about before already had the answer——
Maybe Jiang Mingzhu really held this wedding just to get angry with Xu Siyan.
The two of them were originally in love, but she and Zhou Li teamed up to break them up.
Ruan Yi lowered his head guiltily and no longer had the courage to look at Xu Siyan again.
After the wedding banquet started, Ruan Yi's mood could not be high. She was afraid that Wan Liu would find out the clues, so she went to the bathroom alone to calm down for more than ten minutes.
After the adjustment was almost complete, Ruan Yi walked out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked around the corridor, he ran into Xu Siyan walking towards him.
Xu Siyan stopped in front of Ruan Yi and stared at her, with no intention of speaking.
Ruan Yi's throat was sore and hoarse, and it took him a while to hold back a sentence: "Are you okay?"
Xu Siyan frowned at her question, obviously not understanding what she meant.
Ruan Yi: "Nothing."
It was really difficult for her to say the reason, "I'm going out to stay with my mother first."
Xu Siyan: "Oh, go ahead."
He looked very calm overall, and his attitude towards her and his tone of voice were almost the same as usual.
Ruan Yi couldn't tell for a while whether he really didn't care or if he was just showing off.
And she would probably never be able to ask this kind of question in her lifetime.
——
After the wedding between Yuanye and Jiang Mingzhu ended, Ruan Yi's mood was very low for several days.
She has been a person with a strong sense of morality since she was a child, and the time she cooperated with Zhou Li was the most deviant time for her.
I didn't expect it would have such serious consequences.
Ruan Yi had a strong impulse to divorce Xu Siyan, and she had even edited the text messages.
