Chapter 80 Nothing Else
He was silent for a moment. "I'll call Uncle Ling tomorrow and ask Ling Yue to apologize to you. If she's still so willful, we won't go."
He Chi was still angry. He had already reminded Ling Yue before that she was in her twenties, but she didn't know how to judge people and didn't listen to advice.
He said, "Ever since Ling Yan passed away, Uncle Ling and Aunt Mo have been particularly indulgent towards her."
"In fact, Brother Chuan has reminded Uncle Ling several times not to dote on Ling Yue too much. She's not a bad person, but she's easily misled."
"She took the blame for someone else at her previous company, and being ostracized by her colleagues was her own fault. Aunt Mo felt sorry for her and called me."
He Chi said helplessly, "I didn't agree to let her come to our company in the first place. How can she grow if she is always protected?"
Ling Yue seemed to be drunk just now, and even if He Chi was slow-witted, he could still feel that something was wrong.
But He Chi wasn't entirely sure either.
The two of them sat in silence for a long time. He turned around and asked Jiang Yining, "Wife, do you think there's something wrong with Ling Yue?"
Jiang Yining knew what He Chi wanted to ask.
Girls are very sensitive, and Jiang Yining has been secretly in love with He Chi for many years. She noticed it as soon as she heard Ling Yue's tone.
Moreover, Ling Yue was a little drunk just now, which made it easier for her to reveal her thoughts.
Jiang Yining thought of a more important point, "Ling Yue seems to be outside. You should call Brother Xiang Chuan and the others. It's not safe for a girl like her to be out drunk."
He Chi said, "I've already sent a message to Brother Chuan. He and his sister-in-law have gone out to look for someone."
Jiang Yining said "oh".
Returning to He Chi's question, Jiang Yining met his eyes calmly, "Do you want to hear the truth?"
He Chi said frankly, "What else?"
"We are husband and wife, what can't we say?"
Jiang Yining said, "I think your feeling should be correct."
It is Ling Yue’s freedom to like whoever she wants, but she called He Chi in the middle of the night and said such words. To be honest, Jiang Yining was angry.
It would be a different story if He Chi was not married, but now He Chi is married.
According to He Chi, Ling Yue had crossed the line.
Jiang Yining made a suggestion to He Chi, "Let's see Ling Yue's attitude first. If she breaks off contact with Zhao Jiajia, we can just pretend we don't know unless she says so."
He Chi hummed and told Jiang Yining his thoughts, "I won't let her affect us."
"I promised Ling Yan to take care of his family, but that doesn't mean I have to indulge his sister without any bottom line. If she does this again in the future, I will explain the situation directly to her parents."
About twenty minutes later, He Chi received a message from Xiang Chuan: [I'm in the bar. What happened?]
He Chi replied: [You let your sister-in-law ask her and let her speak for herself.]
When Xiang Chuan saw He Chi's message, he clearly felt that there was a hint of anger in He Chi's words.
He turned around helplessly and looked at Ling Yue who was still drinking.
Xiang Chuan walked over. He had a fierce aura, and even a slight frown made people feel oppressive. He asked seriously, "Why did you go to the bar alone and drink so much in the middle of the night?"
"Lingyue, you're in your twenties, and you still don't have a sense of security, right?"
Zhu Qingya didn't know what was going on, but seeing Ling Yue so sad, she criticized Xiang Chuan, "Why do you come here to lecture me when you should just talk nicely?"
"Wait for me outside. I'll talk to her."
The environment of this bar was too noisy, unlike the quiet bar opened by He Chi and He Jin. There were people dancing in the middle of the dance floor, and the music made her ears buzz.
Zhu Qingya snatched her wine glass and took her to a relatively quiet place.
She said seriously, "Lingyue, you are right, Brother Chuan. The environment here is too chaotic, and it's too dangerous for you to drink so much by yourself."
"You can tell your sister-in-law anything that's on your mind."
Ling Yue drunkenly asked, "Sister Qingya, did Brother He Chi ask you to come?"
Zhu Qingya frowned and said, "Yes."
Ling Yue smiled bitterly, "Brother He Chi must be very angry. I just think this world is really small. The person Zhao Jiajia has been complaining to me about is his wife."
"Who is Zhao Jiajia?"
Ling Yue seemed to be crying and laughing at the same time, "A woman."
Zhu Qingya: “…”
She listened to Ling Yue speak a lot more intermittently.
Zhu Qingya pieced her words together and probably understood, "Ling Yue, don't tell me you like He Chi."
Ling Yue remained silent.
Zhu Qingya slapped her forehead in annoyance. "You called He Chi so late at night, Lingyue, you are an adult after all. How can you judge someone based on what others say?"
"I've met Yining. Putting everything else aside, I can vouch for her character. Besides, wouldn't He Chi know what kind of person Yining is?"
Zhu Qingya was very disappointed. "Ask yourself, are you calling tonight just to remind He Chi?"
"Or you still have unrealistic fantasies in your heart."
Ling Yue said anxiously, "I..."
She looked up and met Zhu Qingya's eyes that seemed to see through everything. She couldn't say anything to defend herself.
Zhu Qingya is a criminal policeman who often interrogates suspects of serious crimes. She didn't dare to lie in front of Zhu Qingya.
Her silence gave the answer.
After a moment of silence, Zhu Qingya said in a cold tone, "Lingyue, don't embarrass your brother."
"I shouldn't say this, but if it weren't for your brother, do you think your brother Xiangchuan and the others would be so patient and tolerant of you time and time again?"
"You are so ignorant. If your brother were still alive, he would definitely beat you up tonight."
Thinking of her brother who had died, Ling Yue began to cry.
Yes, if her brother were still alive, he would definitely be very angry, angry at her for not living up to her expectations, and angry at her for causing trouble for his brothers.
I received a call from Zhao Jiajia tonight. She said she lost her job because of Jiang Yining and cursed Jiang Yining for being so cruel.
She also knew that she couldn't judge a person based on what others said, but she also had a glimmer of hope, perhaps just as Zhao Jiajia said.
Zhu Qingya watched her cry, and waited until she had cried enough before saying, "Tomorrow, ask your parents to call He Chi, apologize to Yining, and promise not to bother them again."
Ling Yue wiped away her tears, "Does Sister Yining know about this too?"
Zhu Qingya heaved a sigh of relief when she heard her change her address. "Nonsense, they're a couple sleeping in the same bed, how could she not know you called her in the middle of the night?"
"Don't you understand your brother He Chi's personality?"
Ling Yue nodded, "I understand. I will apologize to her tomorrow."
"You need to be more sincere. Only if Yining doesn't care about it, will your brother He Chi not care about it. Do you understand?"
Ling Yue nodded.
Zhu Qingya's tone became more serious and she asked, "Lingyue, you can't do anything like what you did tonight again."
"Otherwise, you will be sorry for your brother, and for He Chi and the others who have taken care of your family over the years."
Ling Yue had already made up her mind, "I know, Sister Qingya, don't worry, after tonight, Brother He Chi will just be my brother's brother, nothing more."
“That’s how it is.”
Zhu Qingya raised her hand and rubbed her hair. "Okay, go back, otherwise Brother Xiang Chuan will be really angry."
As she helped Ling Yue out of the bar, Zhu Qingya said, "Don't get involved with that Zhao thing anymore. Yining is a good person, you'll like her."
He Chi had also said this to her. Ling Yue pondered for a moment and hummed, "I won't contact Zhao Jiajia again."
"Sister Qingya, don't worry. I'll resign on Monday and look for a new job."
Zhu Qingya: "If you give up on liking He Chi, it would be nice to stay in He Chi's company. At least you won't be bullied."
When I went to his company, I was thinking about being closer to him, even if it was just to see him occasionally.
Ling Yue shook her head, "No, I joined He Chi's company with ulterior motives."
Zhu Qingya: “…”
"Then you should resign."
Ling Yue looked up at Zhu Qingya and said, "I will work hard in the future and will not embarrass my brother again."
"He's a hero, and as his sister, I can't let others look down on him."
