After Jiang Heshu finished speaking, the kitchen fell silent.
Pei Yan paused his fingertips slightly and looked down at Jiang Heshu.
The woman has fair skin and a pair of delicate peach blossom eyes, which are as clear and bright as the sunny sky after rain outside the window, quiet and soft.
What she asked was exactly what Pei Yan had been ignoring deep in his heart and not thinking about it in detail.
Now being asked face to face, Pei Yan was silent for a moment and said in a calm tone: "Suisui likes you and treats you as your biological mother. I help you because I want you to treat Suisui better."
If it were before, Jiang Heshu would believe this.
But now...
She looked straight at Pei Yan and asked again: "If it's just for Suisui, why didn't you just say it? And you used grandma as a cover?"
The air became quiet again, and Pei Yan was speechless for a long time.
When he didn't speak, Jiang Heshu continued to ask: "Or are you helping me again and again just to get me to sleep with you?"
Jiang Heshu's every sentence was sharper and more straightforward.
Pei Yan asked himself in his heart, is it because of this?
It was probably partly because of this, but more importantly, he wanted to help Jiang Heshu.
Just like this time when sending Jiang Heshu and grandma to the airport, he and Jiang Heshu had a very unpleasant quarrel in the morning. He actually hesitated for a long time before going.
Why go?
At that time, he thought he was going to see his grandmother off. Because her grandmother's condition worsened, he felt guilty and blamed himself.
But in fact, he wanted to see Jiang Heshu again.
If we don't see each other again, after Jiang Heshu leaves, I don't know how long it will take to see her next time.
And this time when grandma passed away, he was so dedicated to his responsibilities. In addition to the guilt in his heart, he also didn't want to see Jiang Heshu in grief.
Thinking in his heart, Pei Yan was very calm and indifferent on his face, "I want to help you, so I will. No reason is needed."
Don't need a reason?
Help relatives because of relationships, help friends because of friendship, and help poor people because of empathy.
Each one has a reason to help.
Moreover, why did Pei Yan hide it when he helped her?
That alone is highly suspicious.
Jiang Heshu was silent for a few seconds, then asked him again for confirmation, "In your mind, what is our relationship?"
"It used to be a partnership, now it's a friend."
Jiang Heshu remembered the last time Mu Xueqing introduced Cheng Ze to her and Pei Yan got angry...
She finally asked: "Pei Yan, you don't like me, do you? I'm talking about the love between men and women."
Pei Yan looked into her bright eyes and shook his head slowly, "I don't like it."
After dispelling the worries in his heart, Jiang Heshu breathed a sigh of relief and suppressed the sadness in his heart.
She nodded pretending to be relaxed, "Well, I don't like you either."
He was telling Pei Yan, and he was also telling himself.
Pei Yan suddenly felt a void in his heart. He couldn't help but clenched his fists, but his face still looked calm.
"I know."
Jiang Heshu repeated it countless times that she didn't like men like her, she liked men who were gentle and gentle.
Thinking of Gu Jing's dress yesterday, Pei Yan's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom.
After the conversation ended, the two cleaned up the kitchen and left.
Although there was only one person missing from the house, Jiang Heshu felt that the house had become very empty and quiet.
Fortunately, Pei Sui'an was here, and listening to her childish and cheerful voice, the emptiness in Jiang Heshu's heart disappeared a little.
Ding Ruirui submitted her resume to more than a dozen companies early in the morning. She worked hard and said, "I have to work hard. It's enough to experience this feeling of powerlessness once."
Jiang Heshu knew that she was talking about the treatment of her grandmother's illness. As long as either of them was promising and capable, her grandmother would not...
Just thinking about it, Jiang Heshu couldn't help but feel pain in his heart.
Ding Ruirui went for an interview in the afternoon. Jiang Heshu hadn't painted in the past few days and had stopped painting. She picked up the brush again and continued painting.
Ding Ruirui was right, she also had to work hard to make money.
In his spare time while drawing comics, Jiang Heshu drew a line drawing of a Q-like little man, opened the software that he had not opened for a long time, added a simple copy, and sent it out.
This was her account when she was studying. At that time, she had more than 5,000 fans. After so many years, she only has more than 2,000 fans left.
At that time, when she was free, she would draw a line drawing and send it out. She also took several orders and made some money.
Later, I was too busy with my studies, plus...
Thinking of those unpleasant past events, Jiang Heshu's brows and eyes were filled with irritation, and she refused to let herself think about it any more.
Pei Sui'an was very obedient and never disturbed her while she was painting. He just sat aside and played.
Pei Yan was working in his room, and the house was quiet.
Until about three o'clock, the doorbell rang.
Jiang Heshu, who was immersed in painting, was much slower to react. When she looked up, Pei Sui'an had already moved a small bench and ran to open the door.
Pei Sui'an looked at the strange person outside the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Where are your adults?" It was an old voice.
Jiang Heshu put down his paintbrush and walked over. Standing at the door was an old man about the same age as his grandmother. He was hunched over and looked familiar.
She hugged Pei Sui'an into her arms, and before she could ask, she saw Wang Yinyin standing behind the old man.
Jiang Heshu instantly understood that this was Grandpa Wang who lived downstairs.
Her expression turned pale, but she was still very polite, "Grandpa Wang, are you here for anything?"
Speaking of which, her family has some connections with Lao Wang's family downstairs.
After Grandpa Wang's wife passed away, he pursued his grandmother and wanted to have a twilight love with her.
However, grandma has no idea of remarrying. If she really wanted to remarry, she would not wait until now. After all, grandma was only in her thirties when grandpa died.
Grandma rejected Grandpa Wang, but within two days, Grandpa Wang's son and daughter-in-law came and scolded Grandma.
He said that grandma was not serious, seduced Grandpa Wang, and wanted to embezzle Grandpa Wang's retirement salary and house.
This matter caused a big fuss in the community. Grandma is known to have a good temper and character. She has never been embarrassed by anyone in most of her life. Everyone helped grandma scold Grandpa Wang, his son, and his daughter-in-law for slandering others.
Seeing that no one believed them, the two left in despair.
Grandpa Wang even came to apologize to grandma. He just told his son and daughter-in-law that he was too lonely and wanted to find a wife.
However, the son and daughter-in-law were afraid that the property would be distributed to others and firmly opposed it.
Later, the son and his daughter-in-law discussed and sent their daughter, Wang Yinyin, over to monitor Grandpa Wang.
Wang Yinyin follows her grandfather whenever she has time. Whenever an old lady talks to her grandfather, she calls them shameless.
It was so bad that no one dared to talk to Grandpa Wang. Grandpa Wang was hurt so badly by his son and his family that he went out alone and felt very lonely.
Grandpa Wang stood at the door and rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "He Shu, I'm here to apologize. What Yin Yin said yesterday was not intentional..."
Jiang Heshu glanced at Wang Yinyin, who was standing behind the old man, "You didn't say those words, so you don't need to apologize."
Hearing this, Grandpa Wang pulled his granddaughter's arm, "Didn't you say at home just now that you wanted to come and apologize to your sister Heshu?"
Wang Yinyin said reluctantly: "I'm sorry."
Seeing her attitude, Jiang Heshu said coldly, "Oh, please go back, I won't forgive you."
Wang Yinyin was anxious, "How can you be so unreasonable and unforgiving? I've already said I'm sorry, what else do you want me to do?"
"You also said that I am justified, so why should I spare others?" Jiang Heshu asked.
Wang Yinyin choked, and Jiang Heshu half-smiled but said, "What? You still want to buy and sell by force and force me to forgive you?"
In fact, this is what Wang Yinyin had in mind.
"Why are you so fussy? I've already apologized, but you're still aggressive. Do you want me to kneel down and apologize to you? Or do you want me to commit suicide in front of your door to apologize?"
The words were a threat.
It's a pity that Jiang Heshu was not afraid at all and said, "You can do whatever you want."
She looked at Grandpa Wang and said, "I still have something to do. Please go back and leave slowly."
After saying that, Jiang Heshu raised his hand to close the door. Wang Yinyin raised her hand to block the door without even thinking, preventing her from closing it.
Jiang Heshu looked at her coldly, "Let go, I advise you not to be shameless."
Wang Yinyin glared at Jiang Heshu angrily, then looked at her grandfather with an urging look on her face.
Grandpa Wang had no choice but to take a step forward and said sheepishly: "He Shu, Grandpa Wang, I want to ask you a favor..."
