Chapter 80 Return Home
After sending him a text message, Yu Nian scrolled down and saw Qiao Siyun and Su Miao chatting in the group, and Su Miao also @ed her.
Su Miao: [I will be back to China next month, let’s have dinner together then! @余念]
Yu Nian: [Okay. 】
Qiao Siyun: [You finally showed up. I called you during the day, why didn’t you answer? ]
Yu Nian: [The court has been in session since 9am.]
Qiao Siyun: [Okay, I've sent the information to your email address, please reply to me after you've read it.]
Yu Nian: [OK. 】
Su Miao, who was still sending emoticons in the group a second ago, suddenly privately stabbed Yu Nian. Yu Nian was stunned and looked at the emoticon she sent: [Hesitant to speak.jpg]
Yu Nian had a premonition and asked her: [What's wrong? ]
Su Miao: [Niannian, there is something I don’t know whether I should say...]
Yu Nian: [Speak now, I can’t eat you. ]
-
There was silence over there for half a minute, and then Su Miao sent a long voice message - "Actually, I've always wanted to tell you, but I was afraid that you would think too much and affect your relationship with President Ji. I saw a woman in the company go to see President Ji. You know Meng Ziyun, right? She's a female singing star. One time, I got off work and took a ride home in a colleague's car. When I was in the parking lot, I saw Meng Ziyun and President Ji sitting in the same car. But because they were not the only two people in the car, I didn't pay much attention to it. I thought they were going to discuss business. But last week, I went to the hospital to get my physical examination report, and I saw the two of them going to the hospital together, and I felt something was wrong."
Yu Nian did not play the voice message, but converted it into text. She read through the entire paragraph from beginning to end, and it was almost the same as she had predicted.
She actually didn't feel anything anymore.
Su Miao sent another voice message: "Niannian, I told you this because I wanted you to be mentally prepared in advance. However, I don't see any intimate behavior between President Ji and Meng Ziyun. I think there is some misunderstanding. Don't be impulsive. Ask the matter clearly!"
Yu Nian's fingertips trembled slightly as he clicked on the voice message and tried to speak in a calm tone, "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Su Miao."
At nine o'clock in the evening, at the bus stop, the last bus had already left and she was the only one left at the platform.
The county court is in the suburbs, and there are few vehicles passing by. The few sparse cars whizzed past her, and the night wind blew, making rustling sounds in the leaves.
She sat on the bench, looking at the faint light from the street lamps, her chin resting on her knees, in a daze.
I don’t know how long it had been, but I suddenly felt a warm touch on my shoulder. Yu Nian was startled and opened her eyes suddenly, and saw Ji Yanxing who had walked up to her without her noticing.
He was wearing a black shirt and black trousers, looking dignified and cool. His shirt was not as neat as usual and had some wrinkles on the collar. His short black hair was a little messy and it was obvious that he had come from afar. He was holding a suit jacket in his hand and draped it over her shoulders.
The familiar scent of agarwood made her eyes sore. She closed her eyes and asked calmly, "Why are you back?"
The moment she asked, she realized that he must have known about Ji Fei and his search for her.
Ji Yanxing stared at her for a few seconds without answering, then asked, "Going home?"
Yu Nian paused for a moment and said, "Okay."
The roadside is not a suitable place for conversation, and Yu Nian is very tired now and has no energy to think about how to deal with this matter.
Along the way, Yu Nian sat quietly in the passenger seat. Ji Yanxing would ask her some meaningless questions. She would answer him and then continue to look out the window.
While waiting for the red light, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at her, but he only saw her quiet profile, looking intently at the scenery outside the window. It also seemed as if she was not looking at anything, just staring out the window with her eyes open, completely immersed in her own world.
Ji Yanxing's eyes darkened, and a few undercurrents flashed across his eyes. It was not until the green light came on that he withdrew his gaze and started the engine again.
Yu Nian's eyes were sore from opening them wide, so she simply closed them, intending to take a nap in the car. However, no one was willing to give her even a brief moment of peace.
The phone rang suddenly, breaking the dead silence in the car. Yu Nian thought it was his own, so he opened his eyes subconsciously. The phone connected to Ji Yanxing's phone was on the display screen in the car, and the caller ID on the screen was: Meng Ziyun.
She was stunned at first, then realized that she didn't seem to be too shocked by the fact that Meng Ziyun called Ji Yanxing at night.
It seemed like this was a reasonable thing to do. When Ji Yanxing saw the name on the screen, he wanted to hang up the phone without thinking.
Yu Nian raised her head, looked at his cold face, and suddenly asked curiously: "If I wasn't here, would you still hang up?"
Ji Yanxing looked at her cold profile, his Adam's apple moving slightly: "Do you want to answer?"
Yu Nian pulled his lower lip in self-mockery: "Take it, just in case something serious happens."
How could she say no? If something went wrong, who would be blamed?
After saying that, she raised her hand, tapped the screen, and answered the call.
Ji Yanxing frowned, but before he could speak, an anxious and helpless voice came over, "Yanxing, Qingqing suddenly had a heart attack and fainted at home. Where are you now? I heard that you returned to China. Can you come and see her?"
The car was too quiet, and the voice on the phone was crystal clear. Yu Nian's eyelashes trembled, and he looked sideways at the thick night, with a sarcastic arc at the corner of his lips.
Sure enough, it was just as she expected.
Ji Yanxing paused for a moment, and said in a cold tone: "You fainted, and you didn't know to call an ambulance?"
"I...I'll call an ambulance right now," Meng Ziyun said cautiously, "Can you ask someone to come over? It's not convenient for me to come out."
Ji Yanxing's eyes were covered with a thin layer of ice, and he said in a cold voice: "I know, someone will contact you."
After hanging up the phone, Ji Yanxing looked at her sideways. Yu Nian spoke before him: "Just concentrate on driving first."
He probably just got off the plane, and there was a hint of fatigue in his eyes. She didn't want to get into a car accident and die at such a young age.
Ji Yanxing stared at her for a few seconds and swallowed back what he was about to say.
The rest of the way home, the two of them didn't say a word.
After arriving home, Ji Yanxing was parking the car. Yu Nian did not wait for him and walked home.
After entering the room, Yu Nian turned on the light, carried her bag upstairs to get her clothes, and then locked herself in the bathroom.
Ji Yanxing was a few steps slower than her because he had to park the car. When he heard the "click" sound of the door being locked, his thin lips were tightly pursed and he tugged at his tie, as if this would make his breathing smoother.
Maybe it was because they lived in different places and didn't see each other often, and they both cherished the time they spent together, so in the past three years, they hardly ever quarreled. Even if they had a conflict, he would try to comfort her and she would talk it out quickly.
But tonight, Ji Yanxing could clearly feel that her attitude was different from the previous times they quarreled. There was only calmness and laziness on her face. She was clearly in front of him, but he could not reach her.
