Chapter 89 Accusations
He gave her the choice: she could continue her studies and he would fully fund her, and would also give her enough money and a house for a lifetime of comfort. Or if she didn't want to continue her studies and wanted to start a business, he would give her some start-up capital.
The exchange condition was that she should not contact him again after she recovered. She had been lying in bed for eight years because of him, interrupting her entire life. Was he just going to compensate her with a tiny amount of money that was insignificant to him? He didn't even want to see her.
Meng Qing reached out and grabbed Yu Nian's wrist. Yu Nian paused, lowered her eyes and looked at her tightly grasped hand, frowning slightly: "Miss Meng, what are you doing?"
Meng Qing's eyes quickly filled with tears, and he looked at her beggingly: "Miss Yu, please help me persuade Yan Xing. You already have enough, why bother with people like us."
"?"
So since she has money and love, she should save all living beings and become the Virgin Mary?
Yu Nian raised her eyebrows and looked at her with a half-smile: "Okay, if you want me to persuade you, then I can. Can you promise that you and your sister will never appear in my and my husband's lives again?"
Meng Qing's face turned pale and his expression was stiff: "Miss Yu, why are you so aggressive?"
This was not the first time Yu Nian had seen such a scene. Her aunt enjoyed beating the mistress. Yu Nian had encountered this several times when she was a child. She only felt how majestic it was to be so arrogant as to trample on another person's dignity. Now it was her turn. Being a bad woman did give her a different kind of pleasure, but it was more of a nuisance.
It was like she had eaten a fly, and she was so nauseated that she almost vomited her dinner.
She originally thought that Meng Qing was different from Meng Ziyun. After all, she was an excellent student. Wouldn't it be good for her to live a stable life with the compensation given to her by Ji Yanxing?
But on second thought, maybe she was too good, which made her want to go all out.
Yu Nian didn't want to get entangled with her, and her voice and face turned cold: "Ms. Meng, I can't help you. Although I have a gentle and easy-going face, I actually have a bad temper. If you insist on provoking me, unless you have the ability to make Ji Yanxing hostile to you and me, otherwise I promise that you will regret provoking me tonight every day in the future."
After saying that, Yu Nian looked at the wrist she was holding, impatiently pulled his wrist out of her hand, and prepared to go down the stairs on the other side.
However, just as she took a step, she heard a miserable scream. She was stunned for a moment, turned around suddenly, and saw Meng Qing rolling down the carpeted stairs. Her white dress was stained with blood. She hugged herself and curled up.
The banquet was held in the main building. The building where Old Mrs. Ji lived was the west building, which was remote and quiet. There was no one in the hall. Yu Nian's mind went blank and he immediately wanted to go downstairs to call for help.
But before she could take a step, she saw a black figure walking in from the door, or rather running, and striding quickly to Meng Qing's side.
The hall was brightly lit. Yu Nian stood at the top of the stairs, like an ordinary spectator. He watched Ji Yanxing take off his suit jacket and wrap it around Meng Qing as a bystander.
When she suffered from insomnia some time ago, she imagined this scene, but no matter how much she associated it, it was not as sharp as seeing it with her own eyes. However, the sharpest image can keep people awake and prevent them from having any lucky or ridiculous thoughts.
She saw a bit of anger and heartache on Ji Yanxing's face. She had to feel heartache, after all, if he rolled down the stairs, especially for such a frail person, he might suffer from irreversible illness.
Speaking of which, she was also an indifferent person. When she saw this scene, she did not feel pity for Meng Qing's miserable condition. Instead, she felt calm, unusually calm. Her heart beat as usual, without any disorder in its rhythm.
It's just that her exposed shoulders and arms were a little cold because her dress was a revealing style. Before she went out, Ji Yanxing gave her the cold shoulder and forced her to wear a cloak, but she dropped the cloak on the sofa while they were chatting just now.
Just as her mind was wandering, a sharp gaze suddenly fell on her.
Yu Nian subconsciously lowered his head, and was caught off guard by Ji Yanxing's deep and dark gaze. !
Against the backdrop of the noisy banquet, the building where Old Mrs. Ji lived seemed even quieter. She stood at the top of the stairs, looking at him from a distance.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she seemed to see a hint of accusation in his eyes just now.
Is he blaming her for causing Meng Qing to fall down the stairs?
Or did he think that she was the one who pushed Meng Qing down the stairs?
Is this really the image of her in his mind?
The flash of indifference in his eyes was like a sharp ice blade piercing her heart. Yu Nian's back was stiff, as if someone had poured a basin of ice water over her head. The chill spread from her exposed skin to her limbs and bones. Her whole body was stiff and she couldn't move. Even breathing smoothly became difficult.
Somehow, she suddenly remembered that when she was chatting with Ye Li last night, Ye Li remembered that tomorrow was her and Ji Yanxing's fourth wedding anniversary, and she regretted not attending her wedding. She also mentioned things from college -
When she was exchanging secrets with Ye Li, she said, I have someone I like, his name is Ji Yanxing, I have liked him for three years and will always like him, and I will try my best to marry him.
Perhaps it was because she appeared to be too sober and rational in public, Ye Li was very puzzled as to why she would say such love-brained words.
When chatting last night, Ye Li brought up the past and said with emotion: "Senior sister, you should be very happy now, marrying the person you have loved for so many years."
Are you happy?
She should be happy, as all her wishes as a girl have come true. If she could travel back to that year and know that she would be able to marry Ji Yanxing in the future, she would be so excited. After all, she was obsessed with him at that time.
She was happy most of the time in this marriage, and she didn't want to completely deny Ji Yanxing's kindness to her because of recent events.
But people are always greedy. According to her thoughts when she was a girl, she would be satisfied as long as she could marry him. When they just got married, she thought that it would be enough if he could like her too.
Suddenly seeing that hint of accusation and indifference, the gap was even greater than she had imagined.
It was like an icy needle soaked in poison, piercing the softest part of her heart, making her suffocate.
Meng Qing curled up with her long hair draped over her body in disarray. She looked at Ji Yanxing with tears in her eyes, fanatical dependence and trust in her eyes.
Ji Yanxing's eyes darkened, and he whispered something to her. He must be trying to calm her down, because Yu Nian noticed that after he finished speaking, Meng Qing's emotions stabilized and she even forced a smile.
