Chapter 973 Already Used

Xu Qingyan stood there in silence for a long time, then called Jian Qiyue to make an appointment to meet.

The next morning, the two met at a cafe near Mo's home.

Xu Qingyan directly explained his purpose, "Qiyue, we have stayed here for too long. There are some things in Country T that we need to go back to deal with. When is a convenient time, take care of things here and go back together."

Jian Qiyue obviously didn't expect him to suggest this, and answered hesitantly, "I have something else to do here. If you are busy, you can take Xiaozhen back first. The child has been very emotional recently. I have enrolled her in a disciplinary class, but I can't control her. It really gives me a headache."

"Isn't it because you can't be restrained?" Xu Qingyan's voice was slightly cold, and he said word by word: "Xiaozhen is just a child, a child who is used to her mother's company. She will be very reluctant to lose you suddenly. Think about it, have you cared about her during this period of time? Have you ever thought about changing this situation? Although Xiaozhen is not your biological daughter, you also raised her with great difficulty."

Jian Qiyue was stunned, his expression complicated, and he didn't speak for a long time.

"Qi Yue, please don't be like this. Come with us. This place doesn't belong to you and me." Xu Qingyan stretched out his hand and wanted to hold her wrist.

Jian Qiyue suddenly pulled his hand away and said, "Brother Xu, I've already told you that I have something else to do here and I can't leave with you now.

"After saying this, she stood up and turned to leave.

Xu Qingyan's voice echoed behind him: "You are just doing it for that man, for a man who once hurt you, is that enough?"

Jian Qiyue's back stiffened, and the whole body seemed to be fixed by an invisible force.

"I know my limits," she said.

"But don't forget, it was you who wanted to forget him and give him up. Now that you have already let go, why do you repeat the same mistake? Jian Qiyue, you are not the kind of person who is indecisive and looks back and forth. Did he say something to you?" Xu Qingyan was anxious.

He has always been gentle and polite, and has never said harsh words to anyone, but at this moment, his emotions were too exposed, making people feel unreal.

Jian Qiyue slowly turned around and said helplessly, "To be honest, I just can't let him go, and I don't plan to let him go. He's in poor health and may not have much time left. I just want to be with him for the last period of time. As for other things, I don't care."

Looking at her determined back as she left, Xu Qingyan's face gradually turned cold.

In this case, I can only apologize.

At the same time, Zhan Yanran came to the apartment where Liu Linlang was temporarily staying and brought her some food and daily necessities to show her filial piety.

"Aunt Liu, you don't know how busy the Zhan family has been recently. It's so lively. It's a pity that there are some things I can't participate in personally, otherwise..."

Zhan Yanran very attentively poured a cup of tea for Liu Linlang and handed it to her respectfully.

"Oh, what happened?" Liu Linlang leaned lazily on the sofa, wearing reading glasses and reading a design book with a serious attitude.

Zhan Yanran told him everything that had happened recently, in detail.

Liu Linlang couldn't help but frown, "How could this be? What about her?"

Zhan Yanran was stunned for a moment, "Who? Are you talking about the old lady? She has been in a bad mood these past two days. Every time she came to teach me, she would occasionally stare into space in a daze. I asked her several times, but she wouldn't tell me why."

Liu Linlang didn't say anything.

Zhan Yanran asked, "Do you want me to do something to make this fire burn more vigorously?"

"No need." Liu Linlang smiled coldly, "They will mess things up themselves. You should study hard for the time being and don't get involved in other things. Get the position of heir first."

Zhan Yanran was delighted and began to imagine the unlimited glory she would have after getting the old lady's company. Who would dare to look down on her then?

"What happens after that, Aunt Liu? I can help you with whatever you want to do with the old lady." She was a little excited and said what was in her mind.

Liu Linlang turned around and sneered, "You really don't take her seriously, but she is your aunt."

Zhan Yanran's face darkened instantly, and the joy in her eyes disappeared completely. "She didn't take me seriously at all. I was just a stone that could be kicked away at will."

Liu Linlang looked at her face full of resentment and sighed silently in her heart.

She always felt that her life was more miserable than that of old lady Zhan, so she felt particularly unbalanced.

But now she realized that all people are equal, and God is even more equal. Who can live more comfortably than anyone else?

Liu Linlang stood up and walked to the terrace, looking at the deep night sky, feeling lost.

Half of her life has passed, and she is still stubbornly holding on to that pain. What's the point?

Unconsciously, she recalled how the two of them were when they were together.

When we are young, we are always carefree and unrestrained, not afraid of getting hurt. But when we get old, we always walk on thin ice. It's really ridiculous.

But she's used to it.
