Chapter 28
Just in time, the food is reheated.
"I'll accompany you after I'm done with my work. Let's go eat first." Jin Huainian touched her lower back and motioned her to get off.
Seeing that he agreed, Han Siti had no point in pestering him anymore, so she got off his lap and went to the dining table to eat.
Jin Huainian was busy until four in the afternoon, and Han Siti no longer had the mood to go shopping.
"Aren't you leaving yet?" Jin Huainian glanced at the girl who was half lying on the sofa.
Han Siti thought that he must make a lot of money from him this time.
As soon as she entered the mall, Han Siti seemed to let herself go, running around the shops and buying a lot of things.
Finally, tired, Han Siti took his hand and leaned on him: "Let's go eat."
Her parents were at her grandmother's house this weekend, so she didn't have to worry about getting home.
Jin Huainian asked the driver to put the shopping items in the car first.
They found a restaurant in the mall. Han Siti ordered a bowl of pasta and ate it slowly. Jin Huainian didn't have much appetite and spent most of the time watching her eat.
In a corner that none of them noticed, someone recorded all of this.
—
Wen Mu has been in a bad mood these days. Because of the engagement, he goes to Jin's house every day.
When she came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, she heard her cell phone ringing.
It was her friend He Meng who called.
"What's wrong?" Wen Mu was absent-minded.
He Meng asked: "How is your relationship with the Jin family now?"
This undoubtedly touched her sore spot: "Not so good. He wants to cancel the engagement, and I didn't agree."
She didn't mind telling these things to her good friends, after all, they needed comfort now.
"When did it happen?"
"Last week."
The other side was not calm: "Maybe it's because of other women. I met Jin Huainian in the restaurant today. There was a girl with him. She looked quite young. I wonder if she is a relative of his family."
Wen Mu was stunned for a while before he said, "He has a big family, maybe she is his sister."
"Then he is really nice to this sister, even cutting the steak for her himself."
Wen Mu: "After all, she is her sister."
He Meng thought of something and continued, "I thought it was another woman, so I took a video and was going to send it to you."
"Send it to me."
"That girl spoke in a coquettish voice and always asked Jin Huainian to wipe her dirty mouth. She doesn't look like his sister at all."
Being coquettish?
Wen Mu's heart suddenly shook.
When I clicked on the video, my guess was indeed true.
In the photo, the girl is holding a fork, stirring the pasta on the plate, and occasionally saying a few words to the man opposite her.
"This tastes so bad, I want to drink yours." Han Siti frowned, looking unhappy.
Jin Huainian was already accustomed to her unreasonable requests, so he just handed it over.
"Other people's taste is still better." Han Siti took a big sip and went back to the pasta happily.
"I want to eat steak." She blinked, her cheeks puffed up, and spoke vaguely.
Jin Huainian picked up the knife and fork, looked up at her, and said in an extremely indulgent tone: "I've told you several times, swallow it before you speak."
"I understand." Han Siti replied indifferently. She could never remember these words.
After Jin Huainian cut the steak, he pushed it over.
The video ends here.
Wen Mu lowered his eyes, unable to move his gaze away from his phone for a long time. With the moonlight outside, the whole person fell into silence.
But what could he do? From the beginning, he had said ruthlessly that he didn't like her and would never get engaged to her.
She had no right to interfere before.
Now, there is no position left.
………
the next day.
Jin Huainian was called to the old house early in the morning.
Several elders were sitting in the hall. Jin Yi had just woken up and came out of the side hall, and saw him with a confused look on his face.
"Brother, why are you back so early in the morning?" she said.
Jin Huainian's expression was calm: "Grandpa called me back."
"It's over. Why do I have a bad feeling?" Jin Yi covered his chest and went to the hall with him.
Wen Mu came every day these days, and Jin Yi was not surprised to see her.
This made my grandparents look particularly gloomy.
"Huainian, why did you cancel your engagement with Mumu? Explain it word for word today." Grandpa sat in the main seat with a majestic aura.
Upon hearing this, Jin Huainian glanced at everyone in the room and said, "I said that day that it's not suitable and I don't like it."
"Isn't it for others?" Grandpa snorted, not believing his explanation.
Jin Huainian paused slightly, and looked at Wen Mu with a cold gaze.
"No," he said.
Grandpa asked the servant to hand him the phone, which played the video of him and Han Siti having dinner yesterday.
"Without her, this marriage wouldn't be possible."
Jin Yi was standing at the back and had obviously seen the video as well.
"Grandpa, wasn't the engagement cancelled? We said at the time that we would just try to get along with each other, and if it didn't work out, we would break up. What are you doing now?" Jin Yi glanced at Wen Mu unhappily.
Jin Yi's mother, Wen Zhiyun, gave her a look and told her to shut up.
"Mu Mu, what do you think now?" Grandma sighed and asked Wen Mu.
Wen Mu pinched the corner of his clothes with his fingers. Things had come to this point. Was there any room for turning things around?
Maybe after this time, we can go back to the way things were before?
She wanted to take a gamble.
"I don't want to cancel the engagement." She smiled and said, "Grandpa and grandma, I'm too old now to afford another relationship."
"Huainian, now that Mumu is still willing to give it a try with you, you should break up with her as soon as possible and be obedient." Grandma said in a deep voice.
Jin Huainian frowned and said in a firm voice, "Grandma, I don't want to."
Even at this point, grandma still didn't understand what Wen Mu was thinking. She just felt that she had given her enthusiasm to the wrong person.
"Mumu, why don't we just forget it? The Jin family has wronged you in this matter, and we will compensate you." After all, Jin Huainian is her grandson, and she knows his temper. If she keeps him tied up like this, there's no telling when something might go wrong.
Grandma has already compromised, what else can she do?
"Thank you, grandma. I understand." Wen Mulian glared and spoke in a gentle tone.
She caught a glimpse of the man's indifferent face from the corner of her eye and felt complicated.
A gust of wind blew and the smoke disappeared.
The matter ended there and the people passing by the hall dispersed.
Grandma asked Wen Mu to stay for dinner, and Jin Yi was furious.
"Is the girl in the video your friend?" Wen Zhiyun asked Jin Yi while pulling her aside.
Jin Yi pursed his lips: "What's wrong?"
"Your brother and her affair, why didn't you tell me earlier? Now it has become like this."
Jin Yi curled his lips: "It's unfair, I just found out."
"They've only been together for a month, so let it go."
Jin Yi smiled and comforted: "It's great that you think this way. How can two people who don't love each other go long-term? Cancelling the engagement is a good thing."
"Do you think that if he doesn't stay with Wen Mu, he can stay with your friend?" Wen Zhiyun said helplessly.
How could it not be? Two people who love each other can always be together. Jin Yi's fantasy of love in her youth has never changed.
