"If you can tell me the truth, I can let go of the fact that you and Luo Nanqing worked together to plot against me."

Ji Jiamu remained silent.

Grandma Ji was anxious and slapped him again.

"You just like her, you're not her parents, you're not related to her."

"Why do you think that just because you're being nice to others, you can do things that make them sad?"

"Grandma, don't get excited."

Jiang Lai stepped forward and gently touched Grandma Ji's chest. "Your illness shouldn't be agitated. Let us solve our problems between the two of us. Let's eat first."

Grandma Ji couldn't eat anymore. She looked at Ji Jiamu with a look of dismay, "Are you really going to piss me off to death?"

Ji Jiamu stood up and knelt in front of Grandma Ji, "Grandma, don't be angry, can you let me and my sister solve this matter at the wedding?"

Jiang Lai felt a little embarrassed when he knelt like this.

After all, she was the one who couldn't control herself and told this to Grandma Ji.

If anything happens to Grandma Ji because of this incident, she will be held responsible.

"Grandma, let's talk about it ourselves. I'll bring the food to you and you can eat it by yourself first, okay?"

Grandma Ji sighed, glared at Ji Jiamu, and let Jiang Lai support her into the inner room.

Jiang Lai brought the food into the room, and when he came out, Ji Jiamu was still kneeling.

"Are you kneeling to me?"

"Come on, I can't handle this. Grab a bar and we'll talk while we drink."

Ji Jiamutian took the wine.

It gets dark late in Licheng. Even though Jingcheng is already dark at this time, the sunset here is still beautiful.

They sat in the courtyard, drinking wine and watching the sunset, feeling that time was peaceful and tranquil.

"Jia Mu, I can feel your kindness towards me. I haven't received much kindness since I was a child. I only met Ruan Ruan after I grew up."

"Besides her, you are the second person who is purely nice to me."

After drinking some wine, Ji Jiamu felt that he could talk more easily.

"Is Chi Zhan not good to you?"

Jiang Lai thought about it and said, "It's good, but it's different. It's love."

"When you're in love, you always show your best side."

"But you're different."

Ji Jiamu was puzzled. "I like you too. Even though we've never been together, what we have can't be considered friendship."

"You are special."

Jiang Lai looked at him with her face tilted. "If it were someone else, and my love rival plotted against me like this, I wouldn't say a word to him, let alone come here with him."

"Jia Mu, I'm telling you the truth. Without Chi Zhan, I would really consider you. Who doesn't want to have someone who treats them well to accompany them for the rest of their life?"

"But love is unreasonable. I can't control who I like. I'm sorry."

Ji Jiamu's hand shook as he was pouring the wine, and most of it spilled.

Jiang Lai, "What a waste."

Ji Jiamu slowed down, blew a big sip directly into the bottle, and said with mixed emotions, "How can you apologize to me? I should apologize to you."

"You don't have to apologize to me."

Jiang Lai said, "You know what I want to know."

Ji Jiamu took another sip of wine. He met Jiang Lai's beautiful eyes and asked seriously, "Sister, tell me the truth, will you and Chi Zhan reconcile?"

Jiang Lai checked the temperature of the roasted sweet potato and felt it was ready to eat. He picked up one, broke it in half, and gave half to Ji Jiamu.

Ji Jiamu took it, watched Jiang Lai eat it, and then he took a bite.

After finishing the roasted sweet potatoes, he heard Jiang Lai say.

"Jiamu, I'm not lying to you, but I don't know."

"I really don't know."

"My family background and his are worlds apart. At first, I thought it was better to just enjoy life while it lasts. If you like someone, just date them. If you can't get married, then bye bye after experiencing it."

"That's what I thought when my predecessor wanted to arrange a marriage."

"I have always felt that I have no heart, that I can walk among a sea of flowers without getting a single leaf on me, and that I am happy just for myself."

"But Chi Zhan..."

Jiang Lai seemed to be unable to find a good word to describe him. After a brief thought, she said, "He... is a little different."

Her smile was tinged with bitterness.

"I broke up with him not only because of Luo Nanqing, but also because I felt that I didn't have the courage to stand up to the whole world with him."

"Because I love him, I don't want him to become enemies with his family and the whole world because of me. He used to be a good young master, but in the end he has nothing."

"Jia Mu, since you didn't say you like me, I think you can understand what I mean."

After hearing this, Ji Jiamu felt very uncomfortable about Jiang Lai's confession to Chi Zhan.

But he felt that Jiang Lai was sadder than him.

Ever since she met Jiang Lai, she has been bright and flamboyant.

Like a bird flying freely, it only finds a branch to rest for a short time when it is tired.

After a good rest, continue to embrace the sky.

No one could stop her from flying.

But now, she was telling him her love for Chi Zhan like this.

It's something worth being happy about, yet it's so sad.

"Putting family background aside for now, sister, don't you think Chi Zhan is a little confused about Luo Nanqing's affairs?"

Jiang Lai nodded, "Yes, a little."

Ji Jiamu was puzzled, "Then why are you..."

Jiang Lai took a sip of wine and said, "Don't you understand now?"

"But he's going to marry Luo Nanqing."

"If you could tell the truth about that night, maybe this marriage wouldn't have to happen."

Ji Jiamu thought silently for a long time, then he said, "Sister, come back to Jingcheng with me. If Chi Zhan returns to Dong because of you and gives up marrying Luo Nanqing, I will confront Luo Nanqing in front of everyone and tell her the truth about what happened that night."

"Otherwise, sister, please stop asking questions and just pretend nothing happened that night."

"Sister, do you dare to bet?"

Jiang Lai was afraid of everything. She clinked glasses with Ji Jiamu and said, "Just come back the day before the wedding."

…

The two of them drank until the early morning before falling asleep.

Over there, Chi Zhan sat in Luo Nanqing's ward until dawn and then left.

Luo Nanqing also didn't sleep all night. When she heard the ward door close, she sat up.

She was stunned for a long time, and only reacted when the nurse came in to give her medicine.

"Hello, can you lend me your phone so I can make a call? I woke up and didn't see my boyfriend. I was in a hurry to come to the hospital last night, and I left my phone at home."

The patient in this VIP ward was specially instructed by the Chi family, and the nurse could not refuse such a small request.

Besides, he was so polite.

"for you."

"Thanks."

Luo Nanqing took the nurse's cell phone and dialed a number.

But the call ended after one ring, so she deleted the call history and returned the phone to the nurse.

Thanks again.

"You're very kind."

The nurse saw that Luo Nanqing had finished taking the medicine and left the ward.

Then he was blocked from the safety passage by the pool.

"What did the people in the ward do with your phone just now?"

The nurse answered honestly, "I just made a phone call, but it seems that the call didn't go through. After all, it's the patient's privacy, so I can't ask too much."

Chi Yi asked for the nurse's phone number and asked someone to check the call records.

After finding out, he asked Chi San, who followed Chi Zhan back to Chi's house, to report.

Chi San waited for Chi Zhan to come out of the bath, and whispered something in his ear.

"Master, Luo Nanqing..."
