love out of time

Chapter 157

Jiang Ci paused for a moment, but still went to get the book.

"You are very cunning."

A thoughtless sentence, even the tone was extremely flat, Jiang Ci didn't understand what he wanted to express, so he laughed, "How do you say that?"

"It took such a big advantage of me for no reason."

Jiang Ci turned around, "Didn't I make it clear to you last time?"

"Clarified?" Chen Juefei stopped her, and his eyes fell on her face, which seemed to have some substance, with some other meaning.

Jiang Ci's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt that Chen Juefei had changed a bit, he was no longer the stupid Chen Juefei he was before.

"Actually, I didn't say it clearly, but you understand it in your heart."

Jiang Ci held his breath, remained silent for a long moment, and smiled lightly, "Some things need to be clarified, and some things should be confused."

Chen Juefei was silent for a moment, "When did you and my uncle meet?"

"At my dad's funeral."

"Tell me."

Jiang Ci glanced at him, "Actually, I didn't plan to hold the funeral. The trees fell and the monkeys scattered, and all the people who came were watching jokes. It's boring. But my dad likes to be decent and lively, so I thought, I still have to Send him away in a graceful manner."

She took a step back and leaned back against the shelf, "The dead are the most important. Many of my father's past business partners came here. There are so many people, but Liang Jingxing looks at me differently from others. Pure pity...Of course, I couldn't tell what it was. A few days later, my father's property was officially seized. He came to me and lent me 10 yuan—not to mention borrowing, I only said that it was to repay the money my dad lent him. I have to say that he maintained my ridiculous self-esteem very well. I need money, but I can't bear other people's pity."

Jiang Ci looked away, "Later, because of your relationship, I got in touch with him more. He cared about me very much. You know, it's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's difficult to give charcoal in the snow..."

"Don't I care about you?" Chen Juefei raised his head abruptly.

"You..." Jiang Ci stalked for a while, thinking about his words, "You also care about me, except for some initial unpleasantness. Actually, I am very grateful to you. Sometimes I am a little ignorant of good and bad, and I often spoil other people's Good intentions." She looked at Chen Juefei with sincere eyes, "But I know that as a friend, you care about me." She emphasized the word "friend".

Chen Juefei didn't speak, his eyes were extremely dark for a moment, as if many complicated emotions were sunk inside.

"You know that I have a withdrawn personality and I'm not very popular with others. If I did something in the past that hurt you..."

"You didn't hurt me," Chen Juefei interrupted her, "I was stupid and didn't think through many things. You are a maverick, and generally no one can change the decision you made. My uncle is more stable, but he is also more stubborn. You two are a good match..."

He stopped suddenly, didn't know what else to say for a while, took a few breaths, took a last look at Jiang Ci, and turned around suddenly to go out.

It happened that Liang Jingsi came in and almost bumped into her, "Where are you going?"

Chen Juefei pursed his lips tightly, without making a sound, bypassed Liang Jingsi and went downstairs.

Liang Jingsi glanced at him, walked into the study, and asked Jiang Ci, "Did Jue Fei quarrel with you?"

"No." Jiang Ci hurriedly replied.

Liang Jingsi smiled, walked to Jiang Ci's side, and began to tidy up the bookshelves, "Juefei is spoiled, and I haven't suffered from it since I was a child, so I can do whatever I want." She was silent for a moment, "...but in the world, there are always Some things just can't go smoothly."

Jiang Ci paused, feeling that Liang Jingsi's words had some deep meaning, but he didn't dare to think about it.

Chen Juefei rushed out the door and stopped in the courtyard.

The scorching sun in the afternoon soon made him sweat all over.He stood still, and there was a short shadow under his feet on the stone road.

Some things, if you don't want to be thorough at the beginning, you will never have a chance to be thorough in the future.
