[Chapter 251: In your heart, what kind of person is Jiang Yirou]
In the low-key and luxurious living room, the seats on the leather sofa are clearly divided into two groups of people.
The two Jiang sisters played chess and chatted with Huo Qingyun, while Lin Yin, Huo Jingze and Huo Nian gathered around old lady Huo, playing cards, talking and laughing, having a great time.
Jiang Yirou's eyes were always fixed on Huo Jingze next to her. To be honest, she was not interested in playing chess. She wanted to get closer to Huo Jingze and chat with him, but Lin Yin was sitting next to Huo Jingze, so there was no room for her to get involved.
Moreover, in the entire Huo family, only Huo Qingyun supported her marriage, so of course she had to please him.
I could only patiently play chess with Huo Qingyun.
Zhou Qianxun stood by and watched bored. She didn't like playing chess or watching others play chess. She glanced to the side from time to time, feeling itchy in her heart and wanting to go over and play cards together.
But Lin Yin is Jiang Yirou's love rival and doesn't like her getting too close to him, so she can only think about it.
There was an exquisite and gorgeous clock hanging on the wall, and the hour hand slowly pointed to ten o'clock.
The housekeeper came over to remind Huo Qingyun that it was time to go to the study to handle work. Huo Qingyun remained expressionless and placed the last black chess piece. The situation became clear in an instant and the white pieces were defeated.
He slowly stood up and said with a smile: "I will go to the study to take care of some work first. You and Chihiro can treat this place as your own home. Don't be restrained. Just tell the servants what to eat and what to play."
Jiang Yirou stood up and whispered, "You go ahead and do your work."
It was indeed getting late. Both Huo Nian and Old Mrs. Huo were in poor health and neither of them could stay up late, so they went upstairs to rest.
Lin Yin and Huo Jingze were about to go back to their room, but Huo Jingze suddenly received a call and asked her to wait for a moment.
The living room, which had been bustling just a moment ago, suddenly became quiet, with only three women of similar age left.
Lin Yin lowered his head to play with his phone.
Jiang Yirou moved her feet, walked around the sofa and slowly came behind Lin Yin.
Lin Yin stared at the phone, paying attention to Jiang Yirou's movements out of the corner of her eye. Seeing her walk around behind her, she felt strange and was about to turn her head to see what she wanted to do.
My scalp suddenly felt stinging.
"What are you doing?"
Lin Yin felt pain and pressed her hand on the painful area. She quickly turned around and met Jiang Yirou's innocent expression.
She shook a long, thin white hair in her hand, with a slightly apologetic look on her face, "I'm so sorry, I have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and when I saw you had white hair, I couldn't help but pull it out."
Lin Yin was speechless, her eyebrows slightly frowned: "...Are you polite?"
Jiang Yirou looked even more apologetic, and hurriedly explained, "I'm really sorry, it was just a subconscious move, I really didn't mean to make you angry, I hope you don't take it to heart."
Lin Yin frowned, with confusion and scrutiny in her eyes. She couldn't understand Jiang Yirou's behavior.
Could it be that her interaction with Huo Jingze just now was too intimate, which made Jiang Yirou feel uncomfortable, so she deliberately pulled her hair to vent her anger?
That's too childish.
Lin Yin didn't think about it anymore and said with a hint of coldness: "Ms. Jiang, this habit is not good. You should change it."
Jiang Yirou scratched her head sheepishly and said jokingly, "OCD is hard to change. I will try not to force others in the future."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Jingze walked over with steady steps, held Lin Yin's hand and said, "Let's go upstairs and rest."
His dark eyes glanced at Jiang Yirou, "You guys should also go to bed early."
"I understand, Brother Jingze."
Jiang Yirou watched the man leave before reluctantly taking her eyes back.
"Do you like him so much?" Zhou Qianxun could see the love in her eyes clearly and sighed silently, "But he already has a girlfriend, and they seem to be in love."
Jiang Yirou didn't care, with a faint smile on her lips, "I haven't given up yet because I haven't gotten married yet. Even if I get married, so what? Divorce is commonplace in this era. As long as we are still alive, who can predict the future direction?"
Her eyes revealed stubbornness and obstinacy, as well as a hint of madness.
Zhou Qianxun pursed her lips, wanting to say something but not knowing how to start. In the end, she could only swallow back all the persuasion that was about to come out of her mouth.
Feelings are the most complicated things in the world. Outsiders cannot interfere. You can only solve them when you hit a wall yourself.
Just like she likes Nangong Jialuo.
Thinking of Nangong Jialuo, Zhou Qianxun's eyes dimmed instantly. Ever since she fell in love with him at first sight at the family recognition banquet, she had tried to get closer to him and boldly confessed her love for him, but was rejected.
She said she would not give up and wanted to pursue him, but Nangong Jialuo told her not to waste her time because he already had someone he liked.
Zhou Qianxun smiled bitterly. Why were she and Jiang Yirou so miserable? The men they liked both fell in love with other people.
…
The hail and rain kept falling, hitting the windows, making a dull "dong dong dong" sound.
The bedroom was dimly lit with only a night light on.
Lin Yin nestled in the male protagonist's arms and fell asleep in a daze.
In a trance, she saw a familiar face.
Jiang Shu stood not far away and smiled at her. She called her three times in a clear voice:
"elder sister."
"elder sister."
"elder sister."
She was surprised. Wasn't Jiang Shu already dead?
"Sister, you have to avenge me."
Jiang Shu's voice suddenly became shrill, and two lines of blood and tears flowed from her eyes. Then her face slowly became hideous and terrifying, and turned into a shadow and pounced towards her.
Thunder roared, Lin Yin was awakened by the noise, she sat up suddenly, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
Huo Jingze, who was sleeping next to her, was awakened by Lin Yin's movement. He quickly turned on the light, and the warm light instantly filled the entire room.
She gently embraced Lin Yin in her arms and patted her back gently, trying to soothe her trembling body. "Did you have a nightmare? Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Lin Yin grabbed Huo Jingze's pajamas on his chest, squeezing until his knuckles turned white and his shoulders shook. "I, I dreamed of the girl I met on the island. She died tragically. I watched her get tortured little by little, and she lost her breath little by little."
Her voice was filled with fear and helplessness.
The male protagonist hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear, "It's over, don't be afraid. If you feel uneasy, I will take you to a temple or Taoist temple in a while to pray for her soul to be reborn. She will have a happy and fulfilling life in her next life."
His words were low and gentle, with a reassuring power.
Lin Yin snuggled in his arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, and gradually calmed down. "Okay, we'll go after a while."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Huo Jingze helped her wipe away her tears and touched her head. "Go back to sleep. I'm here so that nightmares won't bother you anymore."
Lin Yin couldn't sleep, and kept thinking about Jiang Shu's words, "You have to avenge me."
It keeps replaying in my head like a magic sound.
She couldn't help but ask, "What kind of person is Jiang Yirou in your heart?"
