The rain in Haicheng these past two days has been getting heavier and heavier.
The moment Jiang Siyu stepped out of the airport gate, rainwater splashed onto her shoes.
A chill spread.
Looking at the torrential rain outside, she searched for something in the rain, and after a moment, a look of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
Ji Yanheng, who had promised to pick her up, wasn't there.
Perhaps something else happened?
She took out her phone to contact Ji Yanheng while turning around and heading back to the airport.
The burgundy soles of the high heels were imprinted on the off-white airport floor, their damp hue spreading across the ground.
When she opened WeChat to contact Ji Yanheng, she saw a bright red notification in her contact list, indicating that she had unread messages.
The person who sent the message was her half-sister, Jiang Yiruan.
Jiang Siyu glanced at Ji Yanheng's chat box, which had no message notifications, and then opened Jiang Yiruan's chat box.
The first thing you see is a long string of text.
[Sister, it's raining so hard, Brother Yanheng is coming to pick me up from work, so he probably won't be able to pick you up from the airport. Please take a taxi home by yourself, sister~ smile·JPG]
A video is also attached below.
In the video, even in the dim light, the man sitting on the far left of the sofa still has clearly visible features.
Beneath the few buttons casually undone at the collar of his light blue shirt, muscles were faintly visible, and his aloof expression revealed a seductive allure that stirred the heart.
As the other person got up to pick up the car keys from the table, a sudden phone call disrupted the cold indifference in the man's eyes.
I don't know what the person on the other end of the phone said, but the man subtly furrowed his brow and then glanced at the rain outside.
After a moment of silence, before the person on the other end of the phone could speak again, the man's voice, deliberately tinged with a coaxing tone, came through:
"Okay, be a good girl and wait for me at the company. I'll come pick you up."
Upon hearing this, someone in the private room asked, "Hey? Didn't they say Jiang Siyu is coming back today? Are you going to pick her up?"
The man continued striding without pausing for a moment, saying casually:
“It’s fine for her to wait at the airport for a while. Ruan Ruan is alone at the company, and she’ll be scared if we go late.”
The video ends here, and Jiang Siyu exits the playback page, quietly watching the traffic outside the airport.
The message was sent by Jiang Yiruan an hour ago.
The Jiang family's company is about half an hour's drive from their home, but with such heavy rain, traffic jams are inevitable.
So... Ji Yanheng hasn't appeared yet, so he probably won't be able to come.
Thunder suddenly roared outside, making people involuntarily irritable.
Jiang Siyu gave up on contacting Ji Yanheng and calmly dialed another number.
The call connected quickly, and an excited voice came from the phone: "Ayu, are you out yet? I've arrived at the airport."
Hearing the undisguised joy in her voice, Jiang Siyu's suffocating pain eased considerably.
She replied with a smile, "I've arrived, at Exit G."
"Okay, I'll move over right away. Don't get wet in the rain." The woman's voice on the other end of the phone gently reminded him, and soon a silver sedan stopped in the parking space outside the exit.
Jiang Siyu quickly ran over, her trouser legs getting wet from the puddles.
As the passenger door closed, Fu Lin, in the driver's seat, glanced at her and her eyes welled up with tears.
"That bastard Ji Yanheng actually stood you up."
After learning the specific time Jiang Siyu would return to China, Ji Yanheng domineeringly said that he would personally come to pick her up.
And what was the result?
Fortunately, Ayu didn't believe him and rescheduled for a time before boarding to have him pick her up.
Otherwise, with such heavy rain, it would be a long time before Jiang Siyu could hail a taxi home.
Hearing Fu Lin's voice defending her, Jiang Siyu paused briefly while holding the seatbelt, then sighed:
"After all, four years have passed."
Even the best of feelings should have faded long ago after four years of losing contact.
Moreover, given the personalities of Jiang Yiruan and her daughter, how could they possibly stand by and watch me return without doing anything?
All I can say is... it was expected.
The moment Jiang Siyu casually uttered the number four, Fu Lin's eyes couldn't help but well up with tears.
Realizing she was still driving, she took a deep breath, quickly composed herself, and started chatting with Jiang Siyu about lighthearted topics.
Upon learning that Jiang Siyu had actually had a relationship abroad, I was so surprised that I almost slammed on the brakes and pulled the car over to the side of the road.
Jiang Siyu gripped the seatbelt tightly in fright, "Are you out of your mind?!"
Fu Lin quickly found an open-air parking lot to park the car, and then stared intently at Jiang Siyu, who had no idea how big a bombshell she had dropped.
"Did you really talk about it?"
Jiang Siyu nodded, but in her heart she felt that Fu Lin's reaction was a bit too much.
She smiled slightly and gave a definite answer again: "We talked about it."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Fu Lin didn't say anything, but after a long while, she sighed softly.
People in the industry always thought that Jiang Siyu and Ji Yanheng would get together.
After all, apart from Ji Yanheng, no one could keep up with Jiang Siyu's pace, and no one could consistently earn Jiang Siyu's appreciation like Ji Yanheng.
Jiang Siyu has won all sorts of awards since childhood, and next time it will definitely be Ji Yanheng.
However, this tacit understanding and mutual progress, where each other always chose the other's life, changed after Jiang Siyu's father brought his mistress and illegitimate daughter back to the Jiang family.
Thinking back to Ji Yanheng's smug expression a few days ago when he learned that Jiang Siyu had decided to return to China after hearing the news of his upcoming marriage to the Jiang family, Fu Lin's eyes flashed with mockery.
Ji Yanheng always felt that he was irreplaceable in Ayu's heart, the most important and unique existence.
What would his reaction be if he knew that A-Yu had dated a boyfriend during the years she spent abroad?
I'm afraid he'll vomit several liters of blood.
You should know that even today he still believes that Jiang Siyu is deeply in love with him and will marry no one but him.
Harboring her displeasure with Ji Yanheng, Fu Lin immediately gave Jiang Siyu a thumbs up: "Well done!"
Her eyes darted around, and realizing something, she pressed on, "But why 'dated'? Have you already broken up?"
If Fu Lin hadn't asked, Jiang Siyu herself would have almost forgotten this memory that had been buried in a corner of her mind.
The image of that person's intoxicated yet greedy gaze as they kissed her deeply, their hands around her waist, flashed through Jiang Siyu's mind. She swallowed hard, and the long-forgotten tingling sensation on her scalp returned.
Noticing her expression, Fu Lin immediately narrowed her eyes and revealed a wicked smile:
"Swallowing? What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Siyu rolled her eyes at her: "Clear the filth out of your head. You're laughing so lewdly. Aren't you afraid that your fans' illusions about you will be shattered!"
"What filth is in my head?" Fu Lin restarted the car and retorted with a smile:
"I think some people are guilty, which is why they think everything they see is improper."
Even with her thick skin, Jiang Siyu couldn't refute this without changing her expression.
Seeing her silence, Fu Lin knew she had guessed correctly.
She observed the road conditions, restarted the vehicle, and entered the highway. Then she asked, "So, how long did you talk, and why did you break up?"
A particularly large raindrop suddenly hit the passenger side window.
Jiang Siyu's gaze unconsciously drifted over, lingering on the rain sliding down the window, as if she could see again the tears that the other person had been holding back during their argument.
