throbbing marriage

Chapter 21

The turmoil of selling the house finally passed, and the small calculations in my aunt's mind "cracked" together, and she dragged my uncle away happily.When Hualu Elementary School is the key point of the city, if this house is included, the concept of school district housing can make this area popular. This deal is indeed much more profitable than selling the house now.

Grandma didn't care about the house anymore, she watched He Yuhan laughing, questioned his age, occupation, family, and secretly wrote down his birthday in a small notebook, Ji Wan guessed that she wanted to line up the two of them Birthday horoscope.

Older people are a bit long-winded, and they repeated a question several times. He Yuhan didn't talk much, but he kept asking and answering patiently.

Although it was fake, seeing his grandma so happy made Ji Wan feel a little joy in his heart.

Before going out, grandma pulled Ji Wan aside, and asked with a little worry: "Ninny, are you two really in a relationship? Does your mother know?"

Ji Wan shook his head: "I'm going to tell her now."

Grandma hesitated to speak, and finally said after a while, "He is also very handsome."

Ji Wan comforted and said, "You don't necessarily have to be handsome to be as bad as that person, don't worry, grandma."

"It seems that this child's family background is not bad, but it can't be too good. Rich people are easy to be immoral, let alone handsome rich people." Grandma said to herself there.

Ji Wan smiled, He Yuhan's family background is more than rich.But anyway, grandma can't get in touch with the people around him, so let the old man think that the two of them are in love, talking and talking, and it won't hurt grandma if they separate after two years.

When he walked out of the room, He Yuhan was on the phone. As soon as he saw them coming out, he immediately answered a few words and put away the phone.

"Xiaohe, come here often in the future," grandma said enthusiastically, "my daughter has a stubborn temper, so you should be more patient."

He Yuhan nodded: "Don't worry, grandma, she is the only one who bullies me."

Grandma laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear: "You kid can really talk."

Grandma sent her out of the gate of the community in one breath, and then stopped, watching Ji Wan get into the car. After waiting for a long time, Ji Wan could still see her thin but stubborn figure in the rearview mirror.

"Thank you." Ji Wan's tone of thanks finally changed, as if there was a bit of color in the silence of black and white. She originally thought that He Yuhan would simply and rudely throw money to stop his aunt, but she didn't expect that he would turn around and eat cakes to satisfy his hunger. This method made her aunt calm down, and the result made her feel comfortable, and did not let the villain succeed, nor did grandma get hurt.

He Yuhan's expression didn't change, he stared straight ahead, and answered after a while: "You're welcome, relying on the rest, you must be tired these two days."

Ji Wan was indeed tired, closed his eyes, and fell asleep with the slight shaking.When she woke up, the car was already parked in the parking lot of the hospital, soothing music was flowing in the car, and an unknown group of female singers was interpreting a folk song, fresh and calm.

He Yuhan looked at her quietly from the side, with complex expressions in his deep eyes, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Ji Wan moved, the coat that was covering her body slipped down her shoulders, He Yuhan reached out to grab it and covered her again: "Get up slowly, don't catch a cold."

The jacket had a light sandalwood fragrance, mixed with a masculine and calm aura, Ji Wan was dazed for a moment.

However, He Yuhan misunderstood: "This is the rookie group that Beixiu Entertainment is planning to promote this year. It has become very popular recently. There are a few folk songs that are not bad. If you like it, you can download it and listen to it."

Ji Wan shook his head: "Those were hobbies in the past, but I don't like them now."

He Yuhan was stunned, and quit the Bluetooth connection of the phone casually, the music stopped abruptly: "Then what do you like now?"

Ji Wan sat up, and returned the coat to He Yuhan: "I don't have any special preferences, I just listen to whatever I have. I'm going to see my mother, how about you?"

She raised her hand to pull the door, but after pulling twice, there was no response. When she looked back, He Yuhan was looking at her solemnly. Suddenly, a bad feeling rose in her heart.

"Wanwan," He Yuhan pondered over his words, "Lin Bin, he's been working hard for a position as a division chief, do you want to deal with him now or wait until he gets to that position? The department he's going to be transferred to The requirements for official morality are relatively high. Once your affairs are exposed, and with the public opinion on the Internet media, it is estimated that you can keep the salary of a chief clerk for the rest of your life. Do you think it is enough? Or do you want to make trouble again? "

Ji Wan was stunned, speechless for a while.

"And Lin Bin's wife, isn't she running a foreign trade company? I've already arranged the bait, but it hasn't worked out so quickly. It's probably two to three months before bankruptcy. As for her son, he loves video games. In the third year of high school, I depended entirely on my parents, and the college entrance examination is only a few days away. As long as you want to, find someone to hook him up a little bit, and you can hook him up to an Internet cafe to play games all night long."

"Is...is he stupid?" Ji Wan asked incredulously.

He Yuhan shrugged: "A pampered child has no self-control at all."

"You're telling me this now..." Ji Wan asked suspiciously.

There was deep worry in He Yuhan's eyes, he hesitated for a moment and finally said: "You have to be mentally prepared, Doctor Zhou just called to say that your mother is dying."

As if being poured over his head by a bucket of ice water, Ji Wan's face turned pale, and the fingertips holding the armrest trembled.

"Wanwan, I can help you with everything else, but I don't have any strength for this." He Yuhan's voice was low and hoarse, "You have to survive by yourself."

Ji Shuyun's condition deteriorated rapidly, and she was unconscious for most of the day.

During her rare waking hours, she saw the video of Ji Wan's speech at her alma mater, Ji'an University, and also saw Ji'an TV's half-hour special interview with Ji Wan, and she saw Ji Wan's company up close with the camera. The status quo: bright and clean office, neat and uniform staff, full of vigor and vitality.

Although the mother and son she was so worried about failed to come to her to confess and admit their mistakes, her daughter was enough to look down on the son that the family had abandoned their marriage and affection.

At the end of her life, Ji Shuyun had a moment of reflection, holding Ji Wan's hand, her eyes were full of reluctance.

"Wanwan...you have to be careful..."

This world is too cold, remember to protect yourself and don't pay too much.

Love is too illusory, no one can really love you except yourself.

Mom's life was too much of a failure, don't make the same mistakes as your mother.

Those unspeakable exhortations were all gathered in those eyes, becoming a mother's last exhortation.

At the funeral, Ji Wan was surprisingly calm, her eyes were clear, and she behaved decently. When the body was finally cremated, she didn't even shed tears, but her eyes were red.Grandma fainted once, cried twice, and finally survived. She was always worried about Ji Wan, and regardless of her own health, she insisted on following to the funeral parlor, and kept chanting: "You are crying, baby, just cry out." , don't stand up like this."

"What's the use of crying," Ji Wan murmured, "Mom doesn't like to see me cry."

When the ashes were sent to the cemetery, there was a light rain. Ji Wan lit three sticks of incense for his mother without holding an umbrella, and murmured: "It's good, it's so hard to live in this world, mom is gone." Heaven must be very happy."

The rain fell on her hair, the skin on her face was as clear as fine jade, the breeze in the cemetery was blowing, and the sound of pines and cypresses made Ji Wan's clothes rise and fall, making people suspect that she seemed to be going to the next moment. It turned into a wisp of blue smoke and disappeared.

He Yuhan stood behind her, and inexplicable worries rose from the bottom of his heart. The girl he was thinking of was just one step away, but seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him.

"Wanwan." Someone called out from behind.

Ji Wan looked back, with an indifferent expression: "What are you doing here?"

Lin Bin looked around, and came to the grave evasively: "I... also came to see your mother off, I didn't know she was so sick..."

"So what if you know?" Ji Wan said sarcastically, "Do you think you have the face to see her now?"

"Wanwan, you don't know many things, don't listen to your mother's one-sided words," Lin Bin argued, "the customs in our hometown are like this, without a son, people look down on them all their lives. Gentle and considerate, why can't you think for me at critical moments?"

Think for him, who will think for their mother and daughter?
Ji Wan's heart was icy cold.

"In the past two days, I've been thinking about the past. It would be great if she wasn't so stubborn. When we first got married...we had a very good life..." Lin Bin looked at the photo on the tombstone, and there was something faint in his eyes. Tears flashed.

This is her biological father, weak, filial, irresponsible, and he has not repented at all until now, and is still pretending here.

Ji Wan sneered in his heart, and without looking at him again, he strode outside.

The cemetery was very deserted, it was early summer, the cypresses were lush and green, the path paved with stone slabs was deep and long, winding among the green, only the footsteps of her and He Yuhan were around.

"Thank you."

Ji Wan said in a low voice that Ji Shuyun's funeral was thanks to his assistance.

"Is this the only word you can say to me?" He Yuhan's voice was a little tense.

"What else do you want to hear from me?"

He Yuhan was silent for a moment: "Forget it, we'll talk about it later."

Ji Wan thought of something: "By the way, you don't need to do things about Lin Bin's family."

"Aren't you going to avenge your mother?" He Yuhan was a little surprised.

"No," Ji Wan smiled, and raised his face towards the sky, the cool rain fell on his face, making people sober, "My mother has already left, and now even if his family is ruined, I can't see it anymore. Don’t worry about revenge, it’s more meaningful for me to do it myself.”

He Yuhan didn't take it seriously: "It's up to you, as long as you're happy."

Ji Wan stopped in his tracks, and casually tore off a leaf from the coral tree beside the path.Coral leaves are very strange. After breaking the leaves, there will be unobvious white filaments sticking together, as if the roots are broken.

She pulled hard, and the white silk broke.

"He Yuhan," she casually threw the debris into the trash can, and looked at the handsome and deep face, "I've done everything you've done for me, when will I fulfill my obligations? I don't like We owe people a favor, start early, end early."
