Chapter 144 She is not my girlfriend
The next second, Jiang Yichen called.
"Why can't I get through to you on the phone? Why don't you reply to messages?" Jiang Yichen's voice was filled with a hint of dissatisfaction and anxiety.
I quickly explained: "I'm sorry, I...I really didn't mean it."
"So you were having dinner with Zhao Ning? That's why you forgot your promise to me?"
There was a hint of doubt and even anger in Jiang Yichen's voice.
I knew I was in the wrong, so I quickly changed the subject: "Where are you now? I'll come find you."
Jiang Yichen was silent for a while before he said, "Stand where you are and wait for me."
I responded and was about to hang up the phone, but Chen Yan next to me snatched the phone and deliberately said loudly: "Hey, don't pay attention to him, let's play together!"
Jiang Yichen obviously heard what Chen Yan said on the other end of the phone, and his tone became even more unhappy: "Who are you? Let her speak for herself."
I quickly took the phone away from my ear, glanced at Chen Yan awkwardly, and then put the phone back to my ear: "Don't worry about her, I just sent you the location."
After that, I hung up the phone, turned to Shen Yan and Zhao Ning and said, "You go back first, I'll go out and wait for him."
Chen Yan said worriedly, "But he sounds very angry, you won't be bullied by him, right?"
I smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll just explain it to him."
Zhao Ning also said: "How about we go with you?"
I shook my head: "No, you guys go back and rest first, he will be here soon."
"No, you're not safe alone."
The two people were very persistent, and I had no choice but to let them stay with me.
Jiang Yichen quickly drove to where I was and saw Chen Yan and Zhao Ning standing beside me.
His face instantly darkened and he ordered me: "Get in the car."
I wanted to get on the bus, but was stopped by Chen Yan.
Chen Yan said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, you are so rude, aren't you? You let Gu Mo go with you as soon as you get here?"
Jiang Yichen's expression became even uglier. He pursed his lips tightly, his eyes revealing anger that was about to explode.
Seeing this, I knew that I was the one who broke the appointment first and was in the wrong, so I quickly got in the car and told Zhao Ning: "Zhao Ning, please help deliver the cigarettes."
Jiang Yichen stepped on the accelerator without waiting for me to finish my words, and the car accelerated instantly.
Along the way, he kept speeding. I grabbed the handrail with both hands, closed my eyes in fear and dared not speak.
After finally arriving at the Jiang family's villa, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then I felt my stomach churning and I forced myself to suppress it.
After the car stopped, Jiang Yichen sat there without moving. I asked cautiously, "Can I...get out of the car now?"
Jiang Yichen turned around, stared at me with a sharp gaze, and asked, "Why? Are other people's affairs always more important than mine?"
My heart tightened and I apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry, I really forgot for a moment. Can you please stop being angry?"
Jiang Yichen's face darkened, and he said in a cold tone, "You broke your promise once last year, and you did it again today. How can I trust you?"
I showed an innocent expression, blinked my eyes and asked in confusion: "When did I break the appointment?"
Jiang Yichen sneered and began to help me recall: "Last year, when your grandma was sick, she wanted to see you so much. I coaxed you for two days before you agreed to go see her. What happened? The next day you went out with others and didn't come home until midnight. You completely forgot about seeing your grandma. Do you know how wronged I was at the time? But you didn't care at all, and even said that you didn't want to see my family at all. Those words were really unpleasant to hear."
As Jiang Yichen continued his narration, my memory gradually became clearer.
When I think back to what I did at that time, I can't help but feel a surge of guilt.
I really went too far and completely disregarded Jiang Yichen's feelings and his family.
I sincerely apologized to Jiang Yichen again: "I'm sorry, I really know I was wrong. I was so wrong before, I'm really sorry. I will try my best to correct it and will not let you down again in the future."
But after I said that, I realized that he and I have already divorced, so is there any need to make corrections?
While he was thinking, a man came out of the villa and shouted to Jiang Yichen, "Xiaochen is back?"
Jiang Yichen turned around and responded, "Yeah, Dad, I'm back."
I also turned my head and saw a middle-aged man walking out of the villa.
Although I have never seen his father, I can see the shadow of Jiang Yichen in his eyes and eyebrows. He should be Jiang Yichen's father, so I quickly greeted him politely: "Hello, uncle."
Jiang Yichen's father smiled and nodded. His eyes stayed on me for a moment, and then he said, "Xiaochen, did you bring your girlfriend back? You didn't even tell your dad."
Jiang Yichen heard this, glanced at me, and then said: "Dad, she is not my girlfriend, just an ordinary friend."
When I heard Jiang Yichen's words, I couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
But I know that the most important thing now is to follow Jiang Yichen.
I pulled myself together and said to Jiang Yichen's father with a smile, "Hello, uncle. I'm your son's friend. I'm sorry to bother you today."
Jiang Yichen took a deep breath, looked at me with complicated eyes, and said coldly: "I'll settle the score with you later, get out of the car."
I got out of the car silently and followed Jiang Yichen into the villa.
As soon as I entered the door, a middle-aged woman with gorgeous clothes and elegant temperament came towards me with a warm smile on her face. I guessed secretly in my heart that she was Jiang Yichen's mother.
The woman Jiang Yichen was very affectionate with him, but Jiang Yichen's face remained cold and he showed no signs of warming up.
The woman's eyes fell on me, and she instantly became contemptuous, with obvious sarcasm in her tone: "Hey, isn't it grandma's birthday? Why did you bring your ex-wife with you?"
My heart trembled, and I was about to explain, but I saw Jiang Yichen stop and look at the aunt with sharp eyes, and his tone was firm and cold: "Aunt, I warn you, don't mention this in front of grandma."
The old lady was shocked by Jiang Yichen's aura and was choked for a moment, and did not continue the topic.
I was confused as I listened to this, and I was even more puzzled: Could it be that Jiang Yichen’s grandmother doesn’t know that we are divorced?
Isn’t this woman in front of me Jiang Yichen’s stepmother?
I secretly observed Jiang Yichen's expression and saw that he pursed his lips tightly, and his eyes revealed an indescribable complex emotion.
I felt mixed emotions. I felt embarrassed for being misunderstood, but also distressed for Jiang Yichen's position in the family.
I followed Jiang Yichen closely and walked into the spacious and magnificent hall of the villa. The hall was full of people and guests.
