Lin Rushuang had been with Li Wenyuan since she was eighteen. Due to an accident, her deaf ears regained hearing while saving him.
Excited, she prepared to tell him the news, only to find him...
Chapter 102 Is She My Sweetheart?
Lin Rushuang replied pertinently: "It looks pretty good."
Jiang Yuyan stood there timidly and said to Lin Rushuang.
"Sister Rushuang, please don't misunderstand me. I didn't mean anything else. I wanted to refuse this bracelet, but my aunt insisted that I take it."
"I can't refuse such a kind offer."
Lin Rushang sat by the bed and slowly put the things in the medical box away.
"Nothing. It's hers, so she can give it to anyone she wants. She doesn't need anyone's consent. It's just a bracelet."
After saying that, Lin Rushuang looked at Jiang Yuyan with a strange and shocked look.
"Hasn't anyone ever given Miss Jiang such an expensive gift?"
After hearing what Lin Rushuang said, Jiang Yuyan's slightly complacent look suddenly became a little ugly, and her facial expression froze.
She blinked.
"Of course not. A Yuan gave me a lot of things, such as the necklace and the Heart of Eternity. He also gave me that."
"Oh, you have a really good relationship."
Lin Rushang said this meaningfully, but her expression remained calm from beginning to end, as if she was talking about a topic that had nothing to do with her.
When Jiang Yuyan heard this, she probably realized something was wrong and turned her head and smiled.
"Sister Rushuang, please don't misunderstand the relationship between Ayuan and me. We are just friends. Ayuan treats me as his sister."
Lin Rushuang couldn't hide the sarcasm on her face.
She must be my sweet sister.
She immediately stood up, walked to Jiang Yuyan, stared at the wound on her forehead, then raised her hand and slowly brushed along the bandage.
Jiang Yuyan felt an inexplicable fear rising in her heart. She stood there stiffly, then looked at Lin Rushang in panic.
"Sister Ru...Sister Rushuang, what are you doing?"
Lin Rushuang spoke slowly, but her voice was as cold as ice.
"Why did you say I pushed you? It was obviously Xie Hongzu who pushed you. Miss Jiang, lying all the time is not a good thing."
Jiang Yuyan, who had always been able to answer Lin Rushuang's questions fluently in the past, didn't know why her brain seemed to be rusty at this moment.
I couldn't utter a word.
"I know you want to be with Li Wenyuan. Actually, you don't have to plot so many things behind my back. I don't intend to compete with you."
As Lin Rushuang spoke, she applied a little pressure with her fingertips on the wound on Jiang Yuyan's forehead, and the pain brought Jiang Yuyan back to her senses.
"hiss……"
Jiang Yuyan subconsciously covered the wound on her forehead in pain, and then looked at Lin Rushang vigilantly.
He found that her eyes seemed different from usual. In the past, she was just cold towards him, but at this moment, the look she gave him was like a sharp and cold blade, as if she wanted to skin her alive.
She clenched her fingertips tightly and stepped back subconsciously, her face pale.
"What...what are you going to do?"
"I'm not doing anything. I just want to see your injury. Didn't you say I pushed you? I want to see if it's serious."
Lin Rushang took two steps closer to Jiang Yuyan, held her head with both hands, pressed her fingertips on the wound, and applied a little force, causing Jiang Yuyan to scream in pain.
"ah……"
Lin Rushang heard Jiang Yuyan's scream of pain and pulled her hand back in time.
"It hurts, right? Then be more careful next time. If you tell too many lies, you will be punished."
Jiang Yuyan was so frightened that her legs went limp and she staggered back two steps. At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Li Wenyuan supported the staggering Jiang Yuyan from behind in time.
He lowered his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I……"
"Miss Jiang came over and asked me if the bracelet looked good. I saw blood seeping from the wound on her forehead. I thought I had some gauze and was about to change it for her, but Miss Jiang was worried that I wouldn't be able to do it properly."
Jiang Yuyan was about to speak when Lin Rushuang interrupted her. She was still immersed in the fear just now and didn't even have the chance to open her mouth to defend herself.
Li Wenyuan lowered his head and glanced at the wound on Jiang Yuyan's forehead. Bright red blood was slowly seeping out of the white gauze.
He pulled Jiang Yuyan's wrist and spoke softly.
"Go downstairs first, our Aunt Zhang will change the gauze."
Jiang Yuyan just nodded blankly.
Li Wenyuan helped Jiang Yuyan to the door, and then gave some instructions to Aunt Zhang downstairs.
He turned his head and looked at Lin Rushuang again, his eyes fell on the long cut on her right cheek. His warm fingertips gently stroked it, and Lin Rushuang subconsciously took a step back.
Li Wenyuan's hand froze in mid-air. After a moment, he withdrew his hand awkwardly.
Lin Rushuang raised her eyes and asked him, "Why did Mom give all the jade bracelets passed down from our ancestors to Miss Jiang? Didn't she say she wanted to keep them as a souvenir?"
Even if she didn't care, she wouldn't let others play with her like a fool.
When she entered the Li family, with so many relatives and friends watching, Li Yaqin was unwilling to pass the bracelet to her, and the relatives and friends around her started talking about it.
Afterwards, Li Yaqin made an excuse that she wanted to stay as a souvenir and gave her the earrings.
The matter was barely covered up.
But she knew very well that Li Yaqin didn't like her and didn't recognize her as the daughter-in-law of the Li family, so she was unwilling to give her the ancestral bracelet.
She doesn't care.
This was Jiang Yuyan's first visit, and she didn't have any other identity, so Li Yaqin easily gave her the bracelet.
What about myself? What am I?
Li Wenyuan rubbed his eyebrows, his voice was hoarse and seemed to reveal fatigue.
"Mom probably considered that it was Jiang Yuyan's first time coming home, so she didn't think too much about it. Plus, she didn't have anything else to give at the time."
"Oh, so this gift is mandatory?"
Lin Rushuang tilted her head back, her eyes fixed on Li Wenyuan, taking in every subtle expression on his face.
Li Wenyuan was probably feeling a little tired and sighed sleepily.
"If you like that bracelet, I'll take you to buy an identical one later. We can buy a better one."
Lin Rushang showed a sarcastic smile on her face.
"Do you think I'm arguing with you here because the bracelet is too valuable?"
Li Wenyuan tugged at his tie irritably, and Lin Rushang could see that he was trying hard to control his temper.
He took a deep breath.
"Then what are you discussing with me here? You know my mother's personality. Why bother to argue with her?"
Lin Rushuang nodded thoughtfully, her voice as deep as deathly silence.
"Oh, I see."
She found that she didn't have the energy to argue with Li Wenyuan because the result was always the same.
A man who doesn't have his heart on you will not stand by you no matter how small the matter is.
This has nothing to do with other people.
Lin Rushang's sudden calmness made Li Wenyuan think that she understood what he said.
As comforting as always.
"Okay, I know you felt bad that the bracelet wasn't passed on to you, but now everyone knows that you are the daughter-in-law of the Li family. Why bother with these empty words?"
Lin Rushang calmly pushed away his outstretched hand.
"Well, I just said it casually. Yang Xin asked me out, and I have to go out. You should have dinner with mom."
After saying that, Lin Rushang walked past Li Wenyuan and prepared to leave.
Li Wenyuan's expression suddenly darkened, and he stared straight ahead.
"You're not going to see He Tingchen, are you?"
Lin Rushang pursed her lips and said with her head tilted.
"You can video call me later."
Li Wenyuan suddenly chuckled again and said, "It was just a joke. Of course I believe you. But now, in order to avoid arguments, we have finally turned our relationship with LS around. You should no longer have any contact with He Tingchen."
This was not the first time Li Wenyuan greeted her.
But on second thought, what right does he have to demand that of himself? He and Jiang Yuyan seem to be sticking together every day.
He Tingchen and I were just interacting with each other during normal work, or we met by chance.
But there's no point in telling this to Li Wenyuan, he won't believe it.
Lin Rushang did not respond to him. Anyway, she was deaf and had no idea what Li Wenyuan was saying.
After Lin Rushuang came downstairs, Li Yaqin and Aunt Zhang next to her were bandaging the wound on Jiang Yuyan's forehead.
As soon as Li Yaqin saw Lin Rushuang, her face immediately darkened and she spoke very reluctantly.
"It's time to eat."
Lin Rushuang still smiled politely and said, "Mom, my friend wants to talk to me about something, so I can't have dinner with you today."
