throbbing marriage

Chapter 18

Ji Wan hasn't slept well for several days, the light in the elevator can be seen, and the extreme high speed makes her slightly dizzy.

There was a waiter at the door leading the seat, and when he saw her, he bowed politely: "Is this Miss Ji? Mr. Xi has already reserved a seat, please follow me."

Ji Wan followed behind him, her throat was a little dry, and her feet felt as if she had stepped on cotton, lightly.This is a bold decision, and all she can rely on is Xi Yan's interest in her that may not disappear.

Turning a corner in the hall, the waiter gave way to the side. In front of it was a half-open box with a transparent glass top, and the whole blue sky and white clouds seemed to be within reach.

Sitting with his back facing Ji Wan was a man with a straight back, slender white fingers with well-defined knuckles, and he was playing with a white bone china cup on the armrest.

"Miss Ji, please." The waiter said respectfully, following his voice, the bone china cup froze suddenly.

Ji Wan stopped in his tracks, the figure in front of him didn't seem to be Xi Yan, but he was very familiar with it.She unconsciously took a few steps forward, staring fixedly at that person's side face.

"Why are you here?" She asked in confusion, with a faint premonition of uneasiness in her heart.

He Yuhan looked at her quietly, under the sunlight, those deep eyes flashed with an extraordinarily distant and cold light. "He has something to do and can't make it through."

Ji Wan's face suddenly turned pale, and she suddenly understood: "You know...Xi Yan?"

He Yuhan nodded, and slowly raised his hand to signal: "Sit. He and I are friends, we grew up together, and our relationship is very strong."

Perhaps it should have been thought of earlier.

Ji Wan thought that she was too self righteous.

Inexplicable rapid capital injection, inexplicable pursuit, inexplicable temptation...

Obviously she should feel humiliated and angry at this moment, but she is just numb. Could it be that this is fate, and can she not escape the tricks of fate?
Ji Wan nodded, trying to maintain the remaining self-esteem, her voice was calm, but trembling imperceptibly: "Sorry for interrupting, you guys continue to play, I'm sorry."

She turned around and walked out, but there was a low voice behind her: "Ji Wan, why? Even he can do it, why can't I?"

There was an almost irrepressible anger in that voice, which He Yuhan couldn't understand at all. He was always by Ji Wan's side during these turbulent days. As Ji Wan's old classmate and ex-boyfriend, he had financial resources and strength. But when he was desperate, Ji Wan would rather ask a playboy like Xi Yan who met by chance for help, but he didn't consider compromising with him at all.

Ji Wan remained silent, and after a long time, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "There are so many reasons."

He Yuhan took a deep breath and calmed down instantly: "You don't have to rush away, and you don't have to think that Xi Yan and I colluded to deliberately humiliate you. In fact, there is a reason for me to keep appearing in front of you after the reunion. I want to be with you You negotiate a deal, a deal that is beneficial to both you and me."

"I'm not interested." Ji Wan refused coldly.

"Why bother?" He Yuhan smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "You are willing to sell yourself to Xi Yan for revenge, but don't you even have the courage to sit down and listen to me say a few words? Could it be that I am coming to you? Say, is it such a special existence?"

Ji Wan's back was stiff, she turned around and sat down opposite He Yuhan, grabbed the lemonade on the table and took a big sip, the cold water slid down her throat, making her paste-like brain a little clearer: "Speak up .”

He Yuhan took out a photo from his bag, and put it in front of Ji Wan. It was a group photo, and the entire He family was there: "I took this photo when I was 16 years old, and it was my mother. I died in a car accident when I was 17."

In the photo, He Yuhan's mother is very beautiful, no wonder He Yuhan is so outstanding, the members of the He family are also handsome and beautiful, and the dignified old man in the middle must be the head of the He family.

Ji Wan's eyes fell on the second person from the left in the front row. It was a graceful and luxurious woman with her chin raised slightly and her expression proud.

"That's my aunt." He Yuhan glanced at her, "Take good care of me. If it wasn't for her back then, I might..."

Ji Wan's eyes froze, he quickly moved away from the photo, and asked lightly: "What's the point of you showing me this?"

"I thought there was something strange about my mother's death, but I didn't find out. Besides, my grandfather wanted me to get married, but I didn't want him to be happy." He Yuhan said coldly, "He arranged for my stepmother. Before the bones were cold, he asked my father to marry this woman."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"Marry me and help me mess up the He family."

Ji Wan was speechless for a long time: "You can find any woman to do this matter, why do you have to find me?"

He Yuhan stared at her, and twitched the corners of his mouth: "My uncles and aunts are not easy to provoke, and my grandfather is even more powerful. Ordinary women are not opponents at all. I'm afraid they will run away crying in a few days. The most important point is that when I get divorced in two years, I can be sure that you won't cling to me, let alone try to take away the He family property from me."

"Two years?" Ji Wan looked at him in confusion.

"Yes, two years," He Yuhan repeated, "that is, I bought you two years of marriage and freedom, you can treat it as a job, and I am your boss, you do the work I arrange, of course, some If you don't want something, such as the sexual obligations between husband and wife, you have the right to refuse. As a reward, I will help you do what you want Xi Yan to do, and do it better than you can imagine."

His voice has no ups and downs, as if he is talking about something that has nothing to do with him, that handsome face is covered with a layer of frost, Ji Wan inexplicably recalls his appearance when he first entered school, as cold as the South Pole The glaciers in the sky, but with a fatal attraction, turned those girls into moths who knew they would jump into the flames.

If such a man gets along for a second longer, he might sink, right?
Ji Wan tightly held the water glass in his hand, lowered his eyelids and shook his head: "Thank you for your suggestion, but..."

"Don't rush to refuse," He Yuhan stared at her hair with cold eyes, "Think about it for two days, maybe you will change your mind."

He stood up, waved to the waiter to pay the bill, and without looking at Ji Wan again, he strode away from the coffee shop.

Ji Wan sat alone in the coffee shop for a long time, looking up at the blue sky in the glass roof, her mind was in chaos, she didn't know what she was still doing there, maybe it was subconsciously wanting to escape the chaos outside .

The azure blue gradually faded, and then a layer of gold was dyed a little bit, and the bright sky gradually dimmed.

She suddenly remembered that she had agreed with her grandma to have dinner with her today.

Grandma's sprained foot has healed, and she volunteered to accompany Ji Shuyun in the hospital several times, but she couldn't get rid of her even after rushing, making Ji Wan dumbfounded.In fact, grandma has many characteristics of their generation, such as tenacity, kindness, and selflessness, which often make Ji Wan feel ashamed.

When seeing Ji Wan, grandma felt very distressed, and put all the good food into Ji Wan's bowl: "Wan Wan, eat more, take care of yourself, and let your mother worry about you."

Ji Wan's heart was sour, Ji Shuyun didn't even pay attention to her these days, if she was in good health, she might be kicked out of the house and severed.

"Grandma, you have to be careful when you are alone at home, don't do heavy work at home, call me if you have something to do, and I will come over." Ji Wan urged.

"It's okay, don't worry about me here, grandma is strong," grandma said with a smile, "I'll bring some dishes to your mother later, so that your mother can relax, and our family won't be in bad luck forever. "

Ji Wan has never dared to tell his grandmother about his illness, and his grandmother is still waiting for Ji Shuyun to be discharged from the hospital.

The two of them were halfway through eating when the landline at home rang. When Ji Wan heard it, it was my aunt calling to find my grandma.

Grandma stopped talking after a few words, and Ji Wan sat beside her, only hearing her aunt's buzzing voice.Grandma's complexion became more and more ugly, but she didn't attack, she just responded with a vague "hmm".

After hanging up the phone, grandma was obviously in a daze, and smiled after a while: "The old woman is useless, only this poor house can be remembered."

Ji Wan felt chills for a while: "Auntie and the others haven't given up yet? Grandma, please ignore them."

Grandma didn't say a word for a long time, but just patted Ji Wan's head: "Wanwan, don't worry about it, tell grandma the truth, there is still hope for your mother's illness, right?"

Ji Wan's nose was sore, tears were about to fall, she bit her lip, and nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, grandma, my mother will be fine."

Grandma let out a long breath, and looked at the furnishings in the house reluctantly. The furniture was quite old, and the walls had just been painted the year before last, so it looked quite new: "This house... was bought when your grandpa was here, The decoration was made by me and him a little bit, every time I see something, grandma can think of something about your grandpa..."

Ji Wan didn't know why, how to behave so well, grandma suddenly became sad.

"Wanwan, your aunt always thinks that I am partial to my daughter. In fact, you know that your mother is not willing to take advantage of the slightest. Although she has lived with me all these years, she will send money and things to your uncle's house every month. , your family doesn’t have any money left, just the little medical insurance, people have said that good medicine must be used to treat this kind of disease. Half, no one should say who is partial."

Ji Wan was stunned: "Grandma, what are you talking about! You sold the house and where do you live! I don't agree, you don't need to pay for my mother's illness, really, I have a solution!"

"I... I'm going to live at your uncle's house..." Grandma smiled wryly, "I know you are good, and don't miss my house, but someone does, and it disturbs everyone. Waiting for your mother to get sick Well, I will live in her own small house, living alone is enough, and when the time comes, remember to come and see me as an old woman, and I will be satisfied."

"No, grandma, don't promise to aunt." Ji Wan was anxious, didn't she know what kind of person that aunt was?Small-minded and short-tempered, now I have to ask my grandma to repay this virtue. If my grandma is penniless and has to rely on her in the future, I will not be so angry!
