Chapter 3: Drink some wine and spend the night together
Jiang Yuli stood beside the coffee table, looking down at her condescendingly.
If he had not been sent abroad that year, after Su Huainan got married, if she wanted to fall in love, it might not necessarily be Chen Qiao.
Unfortunately, the time they spent together was too short, and Su Lingyu failed to develop that kind of dependence on him.
Outside the window, the sound of rain has not stopped.
Only a few soft wall lamps were lit in the room.
Su Lingyu rubbed his forehead uncomfortably.
Whenever she and Shen Qiao separated and reunited, she would always throw herself into his arms.
Only such a tight hug could dispel her anxiety and soothe all the discomfort in her body.
But at this moment, her heart and lungs were filled with resentment towards Shen Qiao.
Even though Jiang Yuli bears some resemblance to Shen Qiao, she would never consider him as a substitute.
"Uncle," she supported herself on the sofa with both hands and moved closer to him, "Can... let me lean on her for a moment?"
"I feel so bad..."
"I feel like I'm about to die..." Her breath was unstable, and her voice was trembling with unbearable pain. "Just a moment... just a moment..."
"Here... you're the only one I know..."
"Uncle, please save me..."
"Human life is at stake... You can't just stand by and watch someone die, right?"
"When we get back to Beijing, I'll ask my brother to agree to whatever you want..."
"Just let me rely on one hand—"
Let's give it a try.
Her heart was pounding like it was on the top of a roller coaster that was out of control.
Jiang Yuli put down his wine glass slowly and said, "I said I don't do anything immoral."
It’s already this time!
Still care about this!
She felt like she was suffocating.
Jiang Yuli leaned over, forcing himself not to touch her cheek, and deliberately kept his distance from her. "Break up with him."
Su Lingyu looked up at him painfully.
"He left you alone at the airport tonight, do you still want to forgive him?"
If she really dared to nod, he would tell Su Huainan immediately when he got back.
Su Huainan would naturally stand up for his sister and beat up Shen Qiao. Breaking up was the inevitable outcome.
Therefore, her breakup with Shen Qiao was a foregone conclusion.
"No... I don't forgive you." Su Lingyu just felt that things like breaking up should be explained face to face.
But now she was feeling so uncomfortable that she was about to fall apart.
"You wait..."
Su Lingyu suddenly stood up, rushed to his room opposite, grabbed his cell phone and rushed back.
She stood in front of Jiang Yuli, clicked on Shen Qiao's chat box, and pressed two words with her finger:
separate!!!!!
Few words, lots of exclamation points.
Every symbol exudes her strong, resolute and resentful emotions.
Love is a matter between two people, and breaking up only requires one person to speak up and it ends.
Su Lingyu held the screen in front of Jiang Yuli and said, "We broke up."
A faint smile flashed across Jiang Yuli's eyes, "Be good."
She threw the phone away and it fell onto the sofa.
Su Lingyu breathed quickly and moved closer again, "Uncle, I'm single now... Can I lean on you for a moment?"
"Can."
Before he could finish his words, Su Lingyu had already thrown herself into his arms, her arms tightly wrapped around his thin waist.
They stayed in the same hotel and used the same shower gel.
The rich floral fragrance filled the air, forming a subtle contrast with his cold and aloof temperament.
She couldn't help but pinch it secretly.
Jiang Yuli’s waist... is quite strong.
Jiang Yuli stood straight, muttering to himself:
She drank too much.
Let her pinch it if she wants.
She is now... single.
single.
No longer a future niece-in-law.
Yes...a hug.
He raised his hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally gently placed it on her back, patting it slowly. "Are you feeling better?"
"A little better..."
Jiang Yuli immediately withdrew his hand.
Only "a little bit better"... probably because he is not the one she depends on after all.
If it was Shen Qiao, she should be safe and sound by now, right?
I don’t know how long they hugged each other, but Jiang Yuli could hear her even and long breathing.
Sleep... fell asleep?
Can you sleep while standing?
He carefully picked her up and gently placed her back on the bed in the bedroom.
August 20, 2007.
The day he was forcibly sent away, Su Lingyu had just turned four years old.
On her birthday, she received a set of Olympic Fuwa plush pendants.
She picked out her favorite red Huanhuan, stuffed it into his hand, and said that she wanted the doll to accompany him.
His mother was an elderly mother and died of amniotic fluid embolism while giving birth to him.
From childhood to adulthood, no one in the family was kind to him, and everyone believed that he had killed his mother.
When he was eight years old, his father cruelly sent him overseas.
Only the little Su Lingyu gave him a parting gift and wished him well.
But... she had long forgotten it.
The next day.
The sunlight penetrated the gaps in the curtains, shining brightly.
It rained all night, and just after seven o'clock, the earth was already baked by the scorching sun.
Su Lingyu woke up.
My mind went blank.
What happened last night?
It seemed like she...sent a breakup text message to Shen Qiao?
Then……
And then she actually hugged that aloof and abstinent uncle Jiang Yuli?!
Su Lingyu sat up suddenly, tiptoed out of bed and slipped out of the bedroom.
In the suite's living room, Jiang Yuli was fully dressed and sitting at the dining table, where a delicious breakfast was laid.
The embarrassment spread silently.
"Good morning, uncle."
Jiang Yuli pulled out the chair opposite him and said, "Come and eat."
Su Lingyu walked over with gritted teeth.
She buried her head in eating, but her eyes were fixed on her phone.
What is so magical about the screen that makes her want to keep looking at it?
"Uncle!" She suddenly put the phone in front of him, "Help me check! Didn't Shen Qiao reply to my message?!"
On the screen, the message "Break up!!!!!" from last night was clearly visible, lying alone at the end of the conversation, with a blank space below.
Jiang Yuli looked at the two glaring words, a hint of secret joy spreading in his heart, but his expression remained calm: "He probably acquiesced. Since you broke up, you have no relationship anymore, so it's normal for him not to want to come back."
Su Lingyu put down the phone in disappointment.
"You won't block me?" Jiang Yuli said in a flat tone with his usual coldness.
Su Lingyu shook his head.
If it were someone else, they might have deleted it long ago.
But the Su family and the Shen family are involved in too many interests. Regardless of their feelings, they will inevitably have dealings in the future.
Su Lingyu held his chin with his hand, looking gloomy.
She's almost twenty-two, she can't just go home and cling to her parents, right?
Now that her brother is married and has a sister-in-law, it is not convenient for her to disturb him too much.
She is now in urgent need of a new intimate partner on whom she can become dependent.
At noon, the plane landed in Beijing.
The two walked out from the VIP channel.
"Bubble." Jiang Yuli said.
"Hmm?" Su Lingyu was eager to go home and hurried. "Uncle, I'll have the servants wash your coat and return it to you."
That's not what he wanted to say.
But Su Lingyu had already run towards her car like a deer.
What he wanted to say was: What he said last night still counts.
After breaking up with Shen Qiao, talk to him.
Su Lingyu didn't hesitate at all. She drove away quickly and headed straight to the company to find her brother.
President's Office.
Su Huainan is still in a meeting.
Su Lingyu walked in familiarly.
In less than ten minutes, Su Huainan quickly returned from the meeting room.
Assistant Liu Lei stood guard at the door and whispered, "President, the young lady looks... in a bad mood."
Su Huainan has always been good at coaxing his younger sister.
When I pushed the door open, I saw my sister lying on the large office desk like a deflated ball, her fingers fiddling with the mouse unconsciously.
"Baby." Su Huainan's voice was very soft.
"elder brother--"
"Brother, brother!" Su Lingyu jumped up instantly and rushed over like a small cannonball.
"Brother..." She rested her forehead on his solid chest, her voice muffled and filled with grievance, "I miss you so much..."
From childhood to adulthood, the words Su Huainan heard the most were "brother" and "I miss you".
I never get tired of listening to it.
His heart softened instantly, and he patted his sister's back gently: "My little princess is unhappy? Tell me, who has offended you?"
"Brother," Su Lingyu raised her head, her eyes slightly red, "Shen Qiao and I... broke up."
