Wei Min handed the wet handkerchief in her hand to Yu Jiao, patted the back of Yu Jiao's hand, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, I brought up your sad memories..."
Yu Jiao did not take the handkerchief. Her almond eyes were still covered with tears. She smiled and said, "I don't want to cry with you. In fact, there is nothing to be sad about. Whether you like someone or not, you can't force him. It is said that love should last forever. If he doesn't care, I will give up."
"But I'm so sad." Wei Min pressed his chest, took a deep breath with difficulty, and said with a heavy nose, "I'm so sad that whenever I think about Gu Yun marrying another woman in the future, I feel like there's a hole here, and wind is blowing in. My whole heart is empty."
Wei Min couldn't be as carefree as Yu Jiao, so she cried and said, "I like Gu Yun, and I will never let her go in this life."
Yu Jiao also wanted to cry loudly like Wei Min, but she didn't like to show her cowardice, and she didn't like others watching her crying.
Ever since her senior brother Fu Chuan passed away, she no longer liked to show her vulnerability in front of others.
When she was emotional, she wanted to find Yu Qizhe and ask him why he suddenly disliked her? Why did all the things he said before change? Is career really that important? How could he easily deny their feelings just because of what his elder brother said?
But reason told her that even if she asked, what would it matter? Would she cry and ask him to stay? Yu Jiao couldn't do such a humble thing.
There are some things in this world that will never belong to you no matter how much you like them, and there are some things that you are destined to give up no matter how much you miss them.
Her view on love is to say frankly that she likes someone, to say frankly that she is sad, to let go frankly, not to cling to someone, and to retain a bit of dignity for herself.
Wei Min cried for a long time again. Yu Jiao thought it would be good to let her release her emotions, so she just sat with her quietly without saying anything to comfort her.
When Wei Min was tired of crying, Yu Jiao looked at the water clock and saw that it was almost past the hour of Hai. She got up and went outside, whispering to Jianjia to get some hot water and ask the kitchen to send some more food.
When Yu Jiao came back, the maid in the yard said that Wei Min had been waiting for her for a long time and it seemed that she had not had dinner.
Soon Jianjia brought in hot water and food. She was always a thoughtful person. After putting the things down, she quietly left without saying a word.
Yu Jiao wet the handkerchief and handed it to Wei Min, "Wipe your face."
Wei Min's hands were numb from crying, and her fingers were cold. She took the handkerchief and covered her eyes with it, then thanked Yu Jiao in a hoarse voice.
"You haven't had dinner yet, right? I asked the kitchen to send some food over. After dinner, you can stay at my place tonight and come back home tomorrow." Wei Min's eyes were so red and swollen that her parents would be worried if she went back home, so Yu Jiao said kindly.
Wei Min shook her head. "Although my parents know that I came to see you, it is not appropriate for me to stay here. Today is the Lantern Festival, so I have to go back now."
"Then do you want to have something to eat before you leave?"
Wei Min glanced at the food on the table and shook her head. She really had no appetite.
"I am sorry for disturbing you today." Wei Min straightened her dress and stood up. "It's getting late. You should go to bed early."
Yu Jiao told Jian Jia to carry a lantern and escort Wei Min to the front yard. Before Wei Min got on the carriage, she suddenly turned around and said, "Yu Jiao, you are a very good girl. In fact, Gu Yun has good taste."
Yu Jiao's lips relaxed slightly. Wei Min was able to say this, which probably meant she had cried and was in a better mood.
After watching Wei Min leave, Yu Jiao returned to the yard. She had no interest in the food on the table, but looking at the two plates of steamed pork ribs with glutinous rice and shrimp balls with lotus sauce, Yu Jiao still sat down at the table. She picked up the chopsticks and suddenly said, "Is there any wine in the kitchen? Bring me a pot of wine."
Jianjia was a little surprised. She had been serving Yu Jiao for these days and knew that she never drank alcohol.
"Girl, if you drink at this time, you will feel uncomfortable with a hangover when you wake up tomorrow." Jianjia advised.
Yu Jiao wanted to be willful for once, so she said, "It's okay, I'll just have two drinks."
Jianjia, who was guarding outside the door, heard the sobbing sounds in the room just now. Although she didn't know why Miss Wei came to the girl to cry, it seemed that the girl was not very happy either.
Jianjia didn't try to persuade her anymore and went to the kitchen to get some fruit wine.
"You go and have a rest." Yu Jiao said to Jianjia.
"I'm in the next room. Call me if you need anything." Jianjia retreated.
Yu Jiao took three cups, placed them in front of her and filled them one by one, then picked up two of the cups and placed them on either side.
She picked up a piece of shrimp ball with chopsticks, picked up the cup, clinked it with the other two cups, and then took a sip of fruit wine.
Wei Min actually said that he envied her?
Yu Jiao really didn't know what she had to envy. She had been dependent on her grandfather since she was born and had no parental love. When she was young, she envied others so much because they had parents to act coquettishly with, could sit on their father's shoulders, and could hold their mother's hands.
She was only accompanied by her grandfather and senior brother.
After her grandfather passed away, her senior brother was her only relative.
But her senior brother Fu Chuan, who grew up with her like a brother, died because of her. After coming to this world, she finally had a home and a brother who loved and doted on her like her senior brother Fu Chuan, but the person who said he liked her suddenly didn't like her anymore.
Yu Jiao wiped away the tears on her cheek with the back of her hand. Tears appeared in her eyes. She whispered, "Grandpa, Senior Brother, I miss home."
