Chapter 58 Chapter 58 Jealousy
Chapter 58
Jia Yanyuan waited outside the Ruan Mansion for more than two hours before Ruan Yan agreed to see him.
After entering, he saw Ruan Yan sitting alone on the sofa in the living room, not saying a word.
Jia Yanyuan walked over and said softly, "Xiaoyan, I'm here."
Ruan Yan looked straight ahead and said nothing.
Jia Yanyuan's clothes were a little messy, his beard was unshaved, and there were bloodshot eyes. He looked very decadent.
This was something he had deliberately created before coming here, in order to show his regret and grief, so that Ruan Yan would feel sorry for him.
"Thank you for still wanting to see me," he recited the lines he'd rehearsed countless times. "I know you must be mad at me right now, thinking I'm a philandering, promiscuous scumbag. I admit, I did do things that wronged you before, but that was all because I was bewildered and lost my mind..."
After returning home, Jia Yanyuan thought about it all night and felt that things had come to this point and he could no longer deny it. After all, Ruan Yan would one day know about the shameful things between him and Qiao Qianqian, and she might even recover her memory one day.
Instead of guarding this time bomb and living in fear all day long, it is better to take this opportunity to confront her and make things clear, and then find a way to play the victim to win her sympathy and forgive the mistakes he made.
Just like before.
"Xiaoyan, what happened between her and me is all in the past. During the time you were missing, I finally understood who I truly loved. I've long since completely come to my senses and repented, and I've completely broken up with her," he said, his voice hoarse as he sat beside her. "When you came back and I discovered you had lost your memory, I felt both heartbroken and fortunate. I'm fortunate that you've forgotten all that happened, and we can continue to be together happily like before."
"But I'm also afraid that you'll leave me again after you remember me, so I haven't dared to confess my mistakes to you, because I'm really too afraid of losing you!"
Such a heart-wrenching confession, but Ruan Yan still turned a deaf ear and seemed indifferent.
His voice even had a hint of tears in it, and he pulled her hand: "Xiaoyan, please don't be silent, okay? Hit me, scold me, as long as you can vent your anger, I will do anything for you!"
Ruan Yan pulled her hand free: "Sister Qianqian must love you very much, otherwise she wouldn't have stayed by your side for so long without asking for any status."
Jia Yanyuan hurriedly denied: "It's not what you think. My relationship with her ended a long time ago, and I have already clearly rejected her. We are just friends now. It's...it's just that she can't let go..."
I knew he was shameless, but I didn't expect him to be so shameless. When something happened, he pushed all the responsibility onto the woman and cleared himself of all blame. He is so heartless and irresponsible. He is such a bastard.
Ruan Yan really felt sorry for Xiaoman for falling in love with such a piece of trash.
"But Sister Qianqian had a miscarriage because of you." Ruan Yan looked at him and said.
Jia Yanyuan lowered his eyes guiltily: "That... that was just an accident."
"No wonder I always feel that Sister Qianqian has an inexplicable hostility towards me. I thought it was just my imagination before, but now this is the reason..." Ruan Yan said, "She must have felt helpless and painful when she lost her child. She must have resented me deeply."
"Xiaoyan, this isn't your fault. It's my fault. Although I've explained it clearly to her, I mistakenly thought she'd let it go... It was me who didn't handle that wrong relationship properly. I won't make the same mistake again. Can you give me a chance to make amends?"
Ruan Yan shook her head: "So many things have happened because of me. I really can't pretend that nothing happened. Brother Yan, this time I really want to let go. I can't continue to love you."
"Xiaoyan, I really know I was wrong. I can't live without you. For the sake of our relationship over the years, can you forgive me this time?"
She pulled her hand away again: "It's too late."
"I really just lost my mind for a moment. What should I do to make you believe that the person I love most is you? Xiaoyan, I really can't live without you..."
Ruan Yan interrupted his clumsy, heartbreaking scene coldly: "My sister already knows about you and Sister Qianqian."
Jia Yanyuan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Ruan Yan to tell Wen Ying about this so quickly.
He was already afraid of Wen Ying, and he also knew that she had always been dissatisfied with him. Now the situation became even more complicated and difficult.
"My sister was very angry. She threw a tantrum and forbade me to have any contact with you or your family anymore."
Jia Yanyuan was panicking. Wen Ying's attitude was his biggest obstacle at the moment.
But he remembered that Ruan Yan and Wen Ying had a bad relationship for a while, so he was ready to imitate his previous provocation: "But if you can insist on our relationship, Sister Wen Ying won't be able to force us to break up, right? Although she is your sister, she can't force and control your feelings regardless of your wishes. Haven't you always..."
"Who said I can't forcibly separate you?" A cold voice suddenly sounded from behind, interrupting him.
It’s Wen Ying.
Jia Yanyuan was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and turned his head away with a stiff neck.
Wen Ying walked in from the door, her eyes as cold as the cold wind in deep winter.
"Xiaoyan, didn't I tell you that you are not allowed to see this person again?" Her voice was colder than her eyes.
Ruan Yan pursed her lips: "I'm sorry, sister."
Wen Ying looked at the man who didn't dare to look her in the eye: "Why, do you want to sow discord between us sisters again like before?"
Jia Yanyuan spoke tremblingly, "No, Sister Wen Ying, that's not what I meant just now... I just wanted to tell Xiaoyan that I love her very much and hope she won't give up on our relationship..."
"You love her so much, yet you cheat on her again and again right under her nose? Your so-called love is truly filthy and cheap," Wen Ying sneered. "You and Qiao Qianqian blatantly bully us time and time again. Do you really think there's no one in the Ruan family who can speak up?"
Jia Yanyuan shrank his neck and dared not breathe.
"You took advantage of Xiaoyan's innocence and kindness, doing those sneaky and dirty things behind her back. When the truth was revealed, you came over and pretended to howl a few times to gain her sympathy so that you could continue to manipulate and deceive her. It's the same routine as before. You really love her so much!"
The sudden emphasis on the ending tone startled Jia Yanyuan so much that his eyelids jumped.
Wen Ying laid out the dark sides of his heart one by one. He was so anxious that his face turned pale and he wanted to explain, but when he looked up and met her sharp eyes like a knife, he suddenly became timid again and couldn't even speak a coherent excuse.
"Sister Wen Ying, no, that's not the case... I will never make the same mistake again..."
"Xiaoyan, go upstairs." Wen Ying glanced at him and turned her head to say to Ruan Yan, her tone stern and unyielding.
Ruan Yan glanced at Jia Yanyuan, who was looking listless beside her, and walked towards the stairs without saying anything.
Jia Yanyuan wanted to keep her, but all he grabbed was a ball of cold air.
Wen Ying's voice was deafening.
"As long as I am the master of this family, I will not allow you to contact Xiaoyan again. Otherwise, don't blame me for turning against your Jia family and being ruthless. We can no longer coexist!"
This was already a very serious warning. Jia Yanyuan's ears were buzzing, and he felt a sense of fear that he had nowhere to hide. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Wen Ying's words were like a bucket of ice water in the cold winter, pouring over his head and chilling him thoroughly.

On Friday night, Luna asked Ruan Yan to have dinner together.
When Ruan Yan arrived at the agreed restaurant, she found that there was another person there besides Luna.
Luna waved in her direction from her seat.
Ruan Yan walked over and was surprised when she saw Lu Peishi, but the smile on her face remained unchanged.
"You don't mind eating with one more person, do you?" Luna smiled. "It just so happened that we met, and I thought since you two know each other so well, we might as well join in."
Looking at Luna's expression, one could guess that they definitely didn't meet by chance. Ruan Yan saw through it but didn't say anything. Anyway, she really didn't mind.
She took the seat across from Luna, "Of course I don't mind."
Luna blinked at Lu Peishi beside her.
During the day, when she went to Wanlai to find Lu Pei for something, she deliberately mentioned Ruan Yan when they were chatting to test his attitude, but from his evasive words, she found that there seemed to be something wrong between them.
"What's wrong? Did you have a fight with Ruan Yan?" Luna asked curiously.
Lu Peishi replied a little late: "No."
"Did you make her angry?"
"No."
"I don't believe it."
“…”
Luna observed the subtle changes in his expression and narrowed her eyes: "I plan to ask her out for dinner tonight, will you come?"
Lu Peishi looked at her playful eyes and knew that she was doing it on purpose, but he still nodded: "Yeah."
…
Looking at the two people sitting silently at the dinner table, the atmosphere was a little awkward, so Luna took the initiative to find a topic.
"Bao, did you resign from my brother's company?"
Ruan Yan nodded: "Yes, it has been a while."
Luna leaned over, put a hand to her lips, and whispered loudly enough, "Is it because my brother always oppresses you that you finally can't stand his bad temper anymore? Are you rising up in rebellion?"
Lu Peishi: “…”
Ruan Yan glanced in his direction, lowered her voice, and responded cooperatively: "How did you know?"
Luna immediately feigned surprise: "I actually guessed it right! Evil capitalists!"
Lu Peishi: “…”
It's okay if you two act a little more exaggerated.
The dishes came and Ruan Yan was very hungry.
Today they made an appointment to go to a Thai restaurant. It was Ruan Yan’s first time to eat Thai food, and the rich curry flavor instantly captured her taste buds.
While eating, Luna enthusiastically shared her recent updates with her.
Ruan Yan remembered a post she had made to her Moments last night and asked, "Ah, I saw the photo you posted with Wei Yu yesterday. Have you guys been collaborating on anything lately?"
Wei Yu is the male lead in a political drama that was extremely popular this year. Ruan Yan followed the entire drama from beginning to end, and until now she still has that character filter for the male lead.
Luna: "Yeah, we just recorded a variety show, and last night a few friends came out for dinner and drinks."
Seeing Ruan Yan's envious expression, she asked, "Why, do you like him?"
"I watched his drama a while ago," Ruan Yan smacked her lips and couldn't help asking, "What's he like in person?"
"He's handsome, has good taste in clothes, and he's humorous." Luna could see that she really liked him. "Next time he comes to City C, I'll invite you to join us for dinner."
Ruan Yan's eyes lit up. Just as she was about to say "OK," Luna added, "But, if I say it directly like this, I think someone might get jealous."
As he said this, he deliberately glanced in the direction of Lu Peishi, who had an expressionless face.
