"Did you need something from me?"
The dim light in the courtyard shone down from behind Jiang Yuan, making his expression difficult to discern in the backlight, which aroused a sense of doubt in Ye Yun's heart.
She didn't have much interaction with this person, so why did he suddenly follow her here?
However, he seemed to be absent-minded all night, and his call to her just now sounded slightly hesitant, as if something had happened.
As Ye Yun looked on in confusion, Jiang Yuan approached and asked, "Can I talk to you?"
yeah?
Hearing this, Ye Yun was even more surprised, and looked at him with even more confusion.
Tian Xiaohui scratched the back of her head, looking puzzled, and said, "Brother Jiang, just say what you want to say directly, why all this beating around the bush?"
Jiang Yuan pursed his lips.
Two seconds later, he looked directly at Ye Yun and asked in a clear voice, "Ye Yun, what kind of person do you think I am?"
yeah?!
Ye Yun was dumbfounded. Why was she suddenly asked such a sudden question?
However, she still told the truth.
"You're alright. In terms of appearance, you're handsome; in terms of family background, you're better than others; and in terms of yourself, you don't kill or commit arson, you're loyal and filial. Apart from being a little quiet and a bit muddle-headed in some ways, you're all fine."
"In some aspects?"
Jiang Yuan frowned, suspiciously grasping the meaning behind her words.
"You don't know what I'm referring to?"
Ye Yun chuckled and glanced at Jiang Yuan, her slightly cold gaze tinged with interest.
"You don't still naively believe that I don't know Lin Jiao is just a pitiful scapegoat, do you?"
"Jiang Yuan, tell me yourself, when Lin Jiao went to the counter and made a scene, causing me to be hospitalized and almost miscarry, wasn't she instigated by someone?"
Jiang Yuan's face turned pale instantly.
Although he guessed that Ye Yun already knew the truth, he was still so embarrassed and ashamed when he was exposed.
He looked at Ye Yun guiltily and flusteredly, and after several seconds, he stammered:
"Feel sorry……"
Ye Yun raised an eyebrow, "What are you apologizing for?"
"I apologize to her, and also to... I shouldn't have kept this a secret."
"What does this have to do with you?"
"I……"
"Don't flatter yourself. That young lady has absolutely nothing to do with you." Ye Yun interrupted him sharply, sneering, "You want to apologize? Ha, what right do you have to apologize on her behalf?"
That's a very insightful point.
Two sharp rhetorical questions, like razor-sharp ice blades, mercilessly pierced Jiang Yuan, leaving his already bewildered heart bleeding profusely, and the bloody truth was thrust in front of him, forcing him to see it clearly.
He remained silent for a long time.
Finally, she lowered her head, a faint, bitter smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
What's wrong with you today?
Ye Yun didn't target him, but looked him up and down with a hint of worry.
Jiang Yuan shook his head.
He quickly lifted his eyelids again, looking more energetic than before, and asked, "What kind of person do you think Lin Jiao is?"
"Lin Jiao?"
"right."
Why are you suddenly asking about her?
“I feel like she’s been a bit different lately,” Jiang Yuan said. “She’s lost weight, looks much cleaner, and has a lot of exquisite jewelry on her body. She dresses up very elegantly and goes out early and comes home late every day. I don’t know what she’s doing.”
"so what?"
“I’m afraid she’ll go astray.”
In the past, Lin Jiao would always make a scene and stop him from leaving whenever she saw him, but now she turns away as soon as she sees him.
Avoid him like the plague.
Once, he couldn't hold back any longer and forcibly stopped the person, who then thought he was going to cause trouble and angrily retorted.
He explained that he didn't want to see her go astray, and that if she wanted money, she could earn it with her own hands, instead of relying on the cars of the wealthy and using improper means to gain something for nothing.
As a result, someone came up and slapped him hard across the face, leaving him stunned.
Not only that, Lin Jiao angrily pointed at his nose and began to hurl insults—
"You son of a bitch, you're just someone who gets rich without working for it! You think I'm avoiding you? I just don't want to see you! You ignorant bastard, stay away from me from now on! Or I'll beat you up every time I see you!"
Wow, so avoiding him is actually protecting him?
That's right, that's the real Lin Jiao.
But he couldn't understand why Lin Jiao hit him; wasn't she doing it out of kindness?
He wouldn't bother saying those unpleasant things to a complete stranger.
After hearing the accusations, Ye Yun was speechless.
Speechless.
"They're divorced, why are you still bothering them? What they do is none of your business, is it?"
"That's true, but I always feel..."
"Don't let her get thinner and prettier make you regret it, will you?"
Ye Yun suddenly curled her lips into a mocking smile, and scanned Jiang Yuan up and down with a strange look.
Although she was smiling, her gaze was cold, and the smile was merely a faint one at the corner of her mouth.
If that were true, she would look down on that person.
No, it won't.
Jiang Yuan shook his head in rebuttal, his brows furrowing slightly as he coldly said, "No matter how beautiful she becomes, it has nothing to do with me. I will never regret divorcing her in this lifetime, nor will I ever be interested in her."
Two years into their marriage, Lin Jiao's actions had clearly exhausted all of his feelings for her.
This admonition was only because the two of them had known each other for a time, and even though Lin Jiao was so despicable, he had still misled her for two years, and he couldn't bear to watch her go astray.
He followed Ye Yun tonight, and it was that comment, "You're ignorant," that really hit him hard.
Lin Jiao had previously pointed at his nose and scolded him for being ignorant. Tonight, his behavior made him feel a strong sense of inferiority about being ignorant in front of Ye Yun. Was he really ignorant?
"Ye Yun, do you also think I'm ignorant?"
Thinking this to himself, Jiang Yuan blurted it out, which surprised Ye Yun a little.
Tian Xiaohui was completely confused when she heard this, but she immediately clapped her hands and said, "Brother Jiang, your family owns a bookstore, with more books than our pastry shop. And you wear glasses. My mother said that people who wear glasses are cultured. How could cultured people be ignorant?"
Jiang Yuan felt comforted.
Asada Koei smiled kindly, but he still looked at Ye Yun and asked, "What do you think?"
In his opinion, Ye Yun's advice was the most pertinent among them.
They couldn't see things as clearly as Ye Yun. She possessed a calm and casual demeanor that transcended everything, and she could always rationally analyze things clearly. Ordinary people couldn't do what she did.
But what was Ye Yun supposed to say?
Saying too harshly would hurt feelings, while remaining silent would betray the trust placed in her.
"It's alright."
Feeling that this was too perfunctory, Ye Yun added casually, "So-so."
Jiang Yuan, "..."
His eyes were filled with resentment as he muttered under his breath, "Why didn't you explain it more vaguely?"
"Hahaha……"
Ye Yun's smile vanished, and she said somewhat speechlessly, "Do you really want me to bluntly state the fact that you're a bit dim-witted?"
"..."
Jiang Yuan was numb.
