If the confession fails, then pursue her best friend

Throughout January, the misty rain seemed to be tirelessly washing the streets and alleys of the mountain city.

This metropolis standing in the mountains has been given a brand new look, and even the air is filled with a fresh scent.

In the waiting hall of Jiangbei International Airport,

Xia Zhijin's grandmother, the three Chen brothers, Xia Zhijin's younger brother Xia Zhining, and their children had been waiting in the terminal hall for more than an hour.

The eldest brother, Chen Qiuhan, asked, "Third brother, your daughter is coming back by plane with Ah Jin and Li Yuan this time. Did she say what time she will arrive?"

Chen Qiuhua shook her head and replied, "She just said she would be back in the afternoon, but she didn't say what time she would be back. And there was no signal on the plane."

The second son, Chen Qiushi, said, "Just wait. Li Yuan has come here specially. It's okay for us to wait a little longer."

Several of them were authentic mountain farmers. As the New Year was approaching, they had nothing to do at home. When they heard that Li Yuan was coming along, they immediately followed him.

The brothers attached great importance to Li Yuan, their extremely generous "son-in-law", and gave him the greatest respect.

A middle-aged woman with tanned skin listened to the men talking and couldn't help but interrupt:
"Master, if the son-in-law that Zhijin is looking for is really that rich, will he be willing to marry Zhijin in the future?"

"Even if Li Yuan is willing, will Li Yuan's parents be willing?"

"I heard that these wealthy families like to find a marriage between people of equal status, and our family is small and modest."

Before she could finish her words, she was severely reprimanded by the boss Chen Qiuhan, who scolded her:
"Don't talk nonsense, you bitch. It's not your turn to worry about Li Yuan's affairs."

As if he had thought of something, Chen Qiuhan gave another warning:
"Also, stop playing with that evil idea in your heart. Zhijin finally met Li Yuan, and her future is up to her. We uncles are just responsible for keeping an eye on her."

After being scolded by her man, the middle-aged woman frowned and wanted to fight back.
But seeing the looks on the faces of his sister-in-law and brother-in-law around him who were looking at him with laughter, he finally swallowed the words in his mouth.

Before Xia Zhijin went to college, the sister-in-law was still dreaming of marrying Xia Zhijin to her stupid son.

He didn't even consider whether his silly son was even a little bit worthy of Zhi Jin.

Not to mention, Xia Zhijin is her niece.

Seeing her sister-in-law being humiliated, Chu Yanyan's mother Chu Yue sneered.

Possessed and whispered beside Chen Qiuhua.

"Qiuhua, when Li Yuan comes back, you should behave better, be more diligent, be more eloquent, and stop acting like an uncle."

"I heard from Yanyan that Li Yuan is doing very well in Shanghai. He is also a big star and well-known throughout the country. If you say a few good words to him, Li Yuan will be willing to help. Maybe our son will be able to transfer to a junior high school in Shancheng."

Chu Yue had visited the luxury house in Shancheng and found an excuse to live there for a while.

He knew it better than anyone else. Li Yuan could spend millions to buy a big house for his niece. His family's financial resources were unimaginable and beyond the imagination of ordinary mountain farmers like them.

Just a little leakage from your fingertips is enough for them to eat and drink.
Listening to his wife's instructions, Chen Qiuhua nodded secretly.

The other brothers may only know that Li Yuan is rich and generous, but they don’t know how rich Li Yuan is, and they don’t understand Li Yuan at all.

But his daughter was also attending university in Shanghai, and she often saw Xia Zhijin and Li Yuan, so she knew much more about Li Yuan than they did.

"A Jin suffered so much since childhood, no one loved her, but after entering college, her luck finally turned around."

Chu Yue recalled that last year, her daughter had insisted on persuading Xia Zhijin to go to college in Shanghai, and her mind suddenly became active.

As Xia Zhijin and her family waited, a large passenger plane landed safely at the airport.

Li Yuan carried a suitcase in one hand and held Xia Zhijin's hand with the other, with Chu Yanyan following him. He came to the waiting hall amid the envious gazes of those around him.

After returning to the familiar mountain city, Chu Yanyan spoke excitedly:
"Li Yuan, Zhi Jin, my parents, as well as my uncle, my second uncle, Zhi Ning and others are all waiting for us in the terminal, ready to welcome us."

"Hehe, Li Yuan, you are still very respectable. Our entire family is out in force."

Listening to Chu Yanyan's words, Li Yuan smiled. On the plane, Chu Yanyan apologized to him and admitted her mistake.

At this moment, hearing that Xia Zhijin's entire family had come out to greet him, Li Yuan felt tremendous pressure even though he was used to big scenes.

If they knew the truth that he had other girlfriends besides Xia Zhijin,
What would they think of themselves?
Can you walk out of the mountain city unscathed?

The people in Sichuan and Chongqing are hard-working and have hot tempers.

Thinking about the heavy gifts in the suitcase, Li Yuan's uneasy feeling in his heart eased a little.

Eat people with short mouths, and take people softly.

I bought so many expensive gifts, there should be some effect, right?

After hearing what Chu Yanyan said, Xia Zhijin, who was holding Li Yuan's little hand, began to sweat and became nervous.

When the National Day came, she was only accompanied by her three uncles. Now, several aunts and cousins ​​have come. She feels a little nervous about this situation.

Li Yuan sensed Xia Zhijin's nervousness, squeezed her hand tightly, and comforted her:

"Don't be nervous, I'm here!"

"Yeah!" Xia Zhijin hummed lightly.

Under Chu Yanyan's guidance, the three of them soon saw a group of people in the waiting hall.

When she saw the familiar figure, before Xia Zhijin could say anything, Xia Zhining broke free from her grandmother's hand and ran towards Xia Zhijin.

"Sister, you are finally back. I missed you so much."

Xia Zhining hugged Xia Zhijin tightly, and her clear and bright eyes were covered with a layer of mist without her knowing when.

He is just in elementary school and depends on his sister for everything, so he is very attached to Xia Zhijin.

It has been almost four months since the National Day. Although I can video chat with my sister, my longing for her has not diminished at all...

Xia Zhijin was about to cry, and she touched her brother's head, "Aning, I miss you too!"

Li Yuan looked at Xia Zhijin and her brother, and felt deeply moved.

Xia Zhijin and Xia Zhining are siblings, but sometimes, their relationship is more like that of a mother and son.

After all, Xia Zhijin had brought up Xia Zhining since she was only one or two years old...

At this time, grandma, the three brothers of the Chen family, and Xia Zhijin's cousins ​​also came over and greeted them warmly.

"Little Li!"

"Li Yuan!"

"Brother Yuan!"

Li Yuan hurried forward and greeted them one by one: "Grandma, eldest uncle, second uncle, third uncle."

Uncle Chen Qiuhan said, "Xiao Li, you must be tired after flying here. Let's go home first and give you a welcome."

Third uncle Chen Qiuhua also hurried forward, took Li Yuan's suitcase, and said with a smile:

"The car has been arranged, let's go home first."

Li Yuan was flattered and said, "Uh, Third Uncle, I can carry it myself!"

Although Chen Qiuhua is not as tall as Li Yuan, he has been a chef for many years and his hands are quite strong. He insisted on helping Li Yuan carry the suitcase:
"Li Yuan, let me carry it. You must be tired after sitting on the plane for half a day."

Li Yuan couldn't hold on any longer and had to let go of his hands. He immediately felt a sense of relief.

He glanced at the scene and saw that apart from his grandmother, Xia Zhining, and his three uncles,
There were three middle-aged women at the scene, who should be Xia Zhijin's three aunts, and there were five young men and women of different ages beside them, who should be Xia Zhijin's cousins.
Taking four taxis, the whole family returned to their house in the center of the mountain city.

This house, located in the city center, is a duplex villa, which can barely be considered a "luxury house" in the mountain city.

The property certificate was written in Xia Zhijin's name. When Li Yuan and Xia Zhijin came back, they would naturally live here...

Several aunts were enthusiastically preparing dinner at home, while Li Yuan was chatting with the three enthusiastic brothers of the Chen family.

Chen Qiuhan asked, "Li Yuan, if you follow Zhi Jin back this time, you have to wait until after the New Year to leave, right?"

Li Yuan shook his head and explained, "Uncle, I am sending Zhijin and Sister Yanyan back this time mainly because I am worried about them. I will stay here for two days and plan to take a plane back on the morning of the 29th of the twelfth lunar month."

When the three uncles heard that Li Yuan would not spend the New Year in the mountain city, they all looked regretful.

If Li Yuan can spend the New Year here, it means that his relationship with his niece is basically confirmed.

However, the fact that they traveled thousands of miles to come to the mountain city before the New Year shows their sincerity.

"Xiao Li, take a good walk around the mountain city these two days. I asked several of your cousins ​​to come back, so you young people will have something in common to talk about."

"OK, all right."

Li Yuan smiled and nodded. His uncle had two children, a boy and a girl. The one who came today was a cousin, who was only 16 years old and was attending high school in the county town under Shancheng City.

My second uncle also has two children, a boy and a girl. The older one is my cousin Xia Zhijin, who is a senior at an ordinary university in the mountain city and is preparing to work. The younger one is also in high school.

In my third uncle's family, besides my cousin Chu Yanyan, there is also a younger brother and a younger sister, both of whom are studying in the county town.
……

While Li Yuan was chatting with the "adults".

In Xia Zhijin's boudoir, Chu Yanyan and several of Xia Zhijin's cousins ​​were also chatting happily.

They had long heard of Li Yuan's name, but had never seen him in person.

"Sister Zhijin, my brother-in-law is so handsome and has a great temperament, just like a big star. He has a very strong aura just by standing there."

Chen Xueru spoke excitedly.

She is only 16 years old and just entered the first year of high school this year. She is at the age when she first begins to fall in love. Her eyes are shining for a boy like Li Yuan who has good looks, a good figure and a good temperament.

"Besides, my brother-in-law looks familiar to me, like a real big star."

Listening to Chen Xueru's words, Chu Yanyan laughed secretly in her heart.

What the cousin said was absolutely right. Li Yuan was indeed a big star now, and a very well-known star. However, this was a mountain city, and the cousins ​​who were in school might not know Li Yuan.

However, you can find it out by just searching on the Internet.

The currently very popular “Born Like a Summer Flower” and “Summer Flower Male God”, his real name is Li Yuan.

Because of the author's name, not many people know Li Yuan's real name, but "Born like a summer flower" is very famous.

Just like the later "Potato", "Tomato", "Big Baby" and so on, the "stage names" are much more famous than the real names.

When Xia Zhijin heard Chen Xueru talking about the big star, his body trembled suddenly, and he felt a little worried, but then quickly returned to normal.

She knew in her heart,
This day will come sooner or later, and she will have to face it sooner or later. She is ready.

No matter what, no matter who tried to persuade her or what harsh words they said, she was determined not to leave Li Yuan.

At this time, a girl who was also very tall but a little less pretty than Xia Zhijin and Chu Yanyan suddenly took out her mobile phone and searched for information about "Li Yuan".

When I saw the search results, I was stunned and looked very surprised.

Li Yuan, who was chatting with his parents in the living room, looked exactly like the very famous Internet star "Born like a Summer Flower".

The real name of “Born like a Summer Flower” is Li Yuan, and he also goes to school in Shanghai.

There can't be such a coincidence in this world.

Chen Bige searched for more information about "生如夏花" and found more information, such as the "Battle of the Stars" he wrote, the "Zhihu.com" he founded, the "Milk Tea Sister" selection event not long ago, and the "King of Glory" game that just went online...

And the most shocking gossip she saw was that Li Yuan had more than one "girlfriend"...

Chen Bige looked at Xia Zhijin deeply with a complicated expression, opened his mouth, and wanted to ask the truth of the matter, but didn't know how to start.

It’s not quite appropriate to ask Xia Zhijin directly about this matter.

Chen Bige looked at Chu Yanyan. As cousins, the two had a good relationship.

She picked up her phone and sent a message to Chu Yanyan.

[Yanyan, Zhijin's boyfriend Li Yuan is the famous star "Born Like a Summer Flower", right? ]

Hearing her phone vibrate, Chu Yanyan picked up the phone, looked at the message, and replied with only one word.

"Ok!"

After getting Chu Yanyan's confirmation, Chen Bige suddenly understood and sighed with a complicated expression.

She knew that a big star like Li Yuan, who was tall, handsome, rich, and most importantly, talented, couldn't possibly have only Xia Zhijin as his girlfriend...

Chen Bige looked at the house again. She knew that Li Yuan spent one or two million to buy it for Xia Zhijin. Xia Zhijin's name was written on the property certificate, and she felt even more complicated.

……

That night, Li Yuan and the three brothers of the Chen family drank four bottles of Moutai.

As for Li Yuan's "real identity", in the eyes of young people such as Chen Bige, Chen Xueru, and Chu Yanyan, it has long been exposed...

the next day,
When Li Yuan, Xia Zhijin, Chu Yanyan, Chen Bige, Chen Xueru and other young people were strolling in the mountain city.

The three Chen brothers, the old lady, and three women gathered together, all with serious expressions.

"Brother, the situation is clear now. Li Yuan is the big star, and Zhi Jin is not the only girlfriend. Yanyan also told me the truth, the whole story..."

Chen Qiuhua looked at the whole family with a complicated expression.

"Boss, what do you think we should do now?"

Chen Qiuhan smoked sullenly and remained silent. If it was his daughter, he would still be the one in charge.

But Xia Zhijin is his sister's daughter, and he didn't raise her. As an uncle, he can't do anything and can't make decisions for his niece.

What's more, Li Yuan is a very nice person. He gave everyone gifts last night, all of which were expensive gold jewelry. He also gave each of the three brothers a few boxes of Maotai and Huazi...

This kind of "nephew-in-law" can do a better job than most "biological sons-in-law".

Chen Qiuhan blew out a smoke ring and sighed: "It's useless to ask me about this kind of thing. It depends on Ah Jin's own thoughts. If she insists on following Li Yuan, we have to lock her up and put her under house arrest..."

Chen Qiushi frowned. In order to "keep Li Yuan company", he drank a lot of Maotai last night and was not very sober yet.

"I have had dinner with Li Yuan several times. This is also the second time he has come to Shancheng specifically, and it was before the Spring Festival. This is enough to show how much he values ​​Ah Jin..."

"Let me say something unpleasant. Just based on what Li Yuan did, he gave us uncles and aunts Maotai Huazi and gold jewelry. Ask yourself, this nephew-in-law has done well enough."

"Besides, the house we live in now is worth nearly 200 million yuan, and Li Yuan gave it directly to A Jin. Even if Li Yuan has other women, it's not bad."

"Think about our family's conditions. We are just ordinary farmers in the mountains. A Jin's parents passed away early, and she has a younger brother who is in elementary school... For a family like this to find someone like Li Yuan who truly loves her is already good."

After listening to Chen Qiushi's words, the living room fell silent again.

At this time, the eldest daughter-in-law spoke in a sarcastic tone:

"What the second brother said makes sense. Li Yuan is indeed a good person. However, can we let Ah Jin follow Li Yuan without any status just because of this house? Will he marry Ah Jin in the future?"

"You dare not say it, so I will say it. What if Li Yuan gets tired of Ah Jin and kicks her out? What will Ah Jin do? How will she live?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Chu Yue.

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about Ah Jin's future life. Even if Li Yuan doesn't want her anymore, she will live a hundred times better than any of us."

Seeing that the whole family was staring at her, Chu Yue raised the gold bracelet that Li Yuan had given her last night and once again broke out a piece of news that shocked everyone.

"Oh, by the way, let me tell you another piece of news. Li Yuan bought a 388-square-meter mansion for Zhi Jin in Shanghai. It's worth more than million yuan and is in Zhi Jin's name."

Without waiting for everyone to react, Chu Yue continued to speak proudly.

"In addition, Li Yuan also bought Zhijin a Mercedes-Benz sports car worth more than 130 million yuan, which was also in Zhijin's name."

Listening to the news revealed by Chu Yue, the mansions worth tens of millions and the luxury cars worth millions had a great impact on the ordinary farmers present who could only earn a few thousand yuan a month.

One or two million, they still dare to think about it.

And this number, ten times larger, reaching 10 or 20 million, is a number they dare not even think about.

Chen Qiuhua looked at his wife in shock and asked with a trembling voice:
"Who told you this, mother-in-law?"

Chu Yue glanced at Chen Qiuhua and snorted, "Who else could it be? Your precious daughter Yanyan."

"She saw the property ownership certificate with her own eyes and personally accompanied Zhijin to pick up the car."

"By the way, Yanyan also said that Li Yuan helped her solve a big problem. You should thank Li Yuan very much."

What Chu Yue didn't say was that when she heard Chu Yanyan talk about these things last night, she was also shocked and unable to speak.

More than 10 million, this number, she couldn't even imagine it.

My poor niece who has no parents now has everything she needs after finding a boyfriend.

Thinking of her own daughter, whose appearance and figure were comparable to her niece's, she even had a very crazy and bold idea in her mind...

I wanted to extinguish this thought, but it was like a shadow that I couldn't extinguish.

The living room fell into a strange silence. As adults, they could understand the weight of more than 10 million better than the younger ones who had not yet entered the society.

Given how generous Li Yuan is to Xia Zhijin, her future life cannot be bad.

If I could give Li Yuan another child, I wouldn't have to worry about my next life...

Chen Qiushi coughed and reminded: "Ahem, I think it's not easy for us to intervene in this matter. Let's just wait for Zhijin to make her own choice."

Chen Qiuhua also quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, let Zhijin make her own choice. We will just pretend we don't know, so as to avoid embarrassing Li Yuan."

As the saying goes, one should be grateful to someone who has done something for him. I just accepted Li Yuan’s gift last night, and no one wants to do something that will please both sides.

As the eldest brother, Chen Qiuhan looked at the old lady who had remained silent.

"Mom, you raised Ah Jin, what do you think we should do?"

The old lady glanced at the whole family and sighed in her heart. How could she not know that everyone in this room had their own little thoughts?
Who else would put themselves in A Jin's shoes and consider what she would do?
But this is human nature, and they are not Ah Jin's biological parents...

The old lady sighed and said, "I will talk to Ah Jin tonight to hear her true thoughts and see what she chooses."

"The child has grown up and has his own ideas. As elders, we can only offer suggestions..."

After the old lady said a few words, she looked a little tired.

"That's it, let's all go!"

……

night,

The old lady's bedroom,

Listening to her grandmother's question, Xia Zhijin was stunned, her body trembled suddenly, tears flowed down her face, she hugged the arm of the closest relative in the world, and cried bitterly...

"Grandma!" Xia Zhijin was crying continuously. Only when she was with her grandma did she act like a 19-year-old girl, taking off all her disguises and burdens and crying loudly...

The old lady held Xia Zhijin in her arms, patted her shoulder gently, and sighed:
"Ajin, if you feel wronged, just cry. Grandma is here and she will take care of it for you."

"Grandma is telling you this not to put pressure on you, but to tell you a truth."

“No matter what, we must be true to ourselves and to our hearts. Even if we are poor, miserable, or tired, we can still fight for a living with our own hands and feet…” (End of this chapter)
