Chapter 82 She Was Interested in Me Before
"Yes, I don't want this child."
Jiang Xu answered very frankly.
He Yanting's eyes gleamed as he took her hand in his palm: "Ruanruan, don't hurt it, and don't hurt yourself."
Jiang Xu shook off his hand and sat down by the window.
There was no conversation along the way. He Yanting asked her to rest at home for a day. After sending her home, he left.
Jiang Xu studied peacefully all day long.
She thought of her grandfather from time to time, so she called Xia Yulin and told her that her grandfather was ill.
After listening to this, Xia Yulin said, "Do you want to go see Grandpa?"
Jiang Xu pursed her lips: "Is it okay?"
Ever since her grandparents hid the fact of her affair from Jiang Minghuai and brought Jiang Xueruo to live with them, Xia Yulin had completely drawn a line between herself and them, not even allowing Jiang Xu to meet them.
Xia Yulin sighed, "Mom didn't allow you to see your grandparents back then. She didn't consider your feelings. If you want to go, go ahead. But if you run into that mother and daughter, don't be nice to them."
"Yeah, I understand."
Jiang Xu felt relieved and decided to visit his grandfather tomorrow.
In the evening, He Yanting came back early with a big bag of food in his hand.
When he came back, he took off his coat, untied his tie and went into the kitchen.
Jiang Xu was hungry, so she went downstairs to get some fruit. When she passed the living room, He Yanting's cell phone, which was on the coffee table, suddenly rang.
I took a look and saw that it was an unfamiliar caller.
She reminded him, "Someone's calling you."
He Yanting had just put the food into the pot and said without even turning his head, "Please help me catch it."
Jiang Xu picked up the phone: "Hello, who is this?"
There was silence on the other side for a moment, and then a familiar female voice came: "I'm looking for Yan Ting, please give him your phone."
Jiang Xu recognized it as Song Mingyue.
She walked to the kitchen, and He Yanting turned off the stove. He took the phone and asked, "Who is this?"
Jiang Xu looked at his current appearance.
With his sleeves half rolled up, a cell phone in one hand and a spatula in the other, he was wearing an apron. He had a cold and elite face, which looked weird no matter how you looked at him.
Song Mingyue said in a gloomy tone: "He Yanting, you didn't even save my phone number?"
He Yanting glanced at the food in the pot and frowned: "Who are you?"
"Song Mingyue."
He Yanting recalled: "Oh, it's you, what's wrong?"
Song Mingyue said, "I'm organizing a business reception on behalf of the Song family. It will be held at 7pm the day after tomorrow, and I've specially invited Mr. He to attend."
"Song family?"
He Yanting paused and said, "Okay, send me the address and I'll go over."
Jiang Xu didn't know what they talked about. After He Yanting answered the phone, she walked away.
After dinner, she went to the study to study as usual.
He Yanting didn't disturb her today. When she returned to the bedroom at the appointed time, she saw him leaning against the head of the bed, staring closely at the thing in his hand.
It's the color ultrasound photo of the fetus.
Jiang Xu pretended not to see it and lay down.
He Yanting suddenly said, "The person who called was Song Mingyue. She invited me to a cocktail party."
Jiang Xu closed his eyes and replied, "Oh."
"oh?"
He Yanting's voice became more emphatically louder, and he came closer and said, "Have you forgotten? She was interested in me before. Aren't you afraid that she has other intentions?"
Jiang Xu yawned: "That's great."
He Yanting: “…”
Jiang Xu suddenly thought of something: "Oh right, I'll take a day off tomorrow and go to the hospital to see Grandpa."
"Well, I'll go with you."
"Need not."
“Yes.”
The next morning, Jiang Xu and He Yanting went to the hospital together.
Jiang Xu walked quickly and just as he entered the ward, he met the woman who was about to come out.
Lin Baiying was stunned when she saw Jiang Xu, as if she didn't recognize him. "You are..."
After looking him up and down, his expression changed slightly, and then became sarcastic.
"Oh, Miss, did you remember to visit the old man?"
Lin Baiying has always hated Jiang Xu and her daughter.
Xia Yulin and Jiang Minghuai have been separated for many years, but they have not obtained a divorce certificate, so Lin Baiying has never been able to become the official Mrs. Jiang.
Moreover, Xia Yulin was far-sighted and signed an agreement with Jiang Minghuai when Jiang Xu was just born.
Unless the couple divorces, 90% of his property will be inherited by Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu had not seen Lin Baiying many times, the last time being five or six years ago.
She looked at Lin Baiying and smiled: "Yes, since you know I am a rich lady, why don't you get out of the way quickly."
Lin Baiying's face darkened and she snorted, "I haven't seen you for a few years, and you've become even more arrogant and domineering."
Jiang Xu retorted, "I haven't seen you for a few years. You've gotten older, and there are a lot more wrinkles around your eyes."
Lin Baiying touched the corner of her eyes in panic: "You are talking nonsense!"
She relied on her beauty to make Jiang Minghuai cheat on her, but Jiang Minghuai had not been honest in recent years and was not clean outside. Lin Baiying did not get a marriage certificate, so she naturally had no confidence and was seriously anxious about her appearance.
"To serve a man with beauty, love fades when beauty fades."
Jiang Xu said calmly, "You provoked my mother to her face back then. Maybe someone will say the same thing to you one day."
These words touched Lin Baiying's sensitive nerves, and her face twisted.
He reached out and pushed Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu stepped back, and suddenly a hand appeared on her back, holding her firmly.
Seeing the person coming, Lin Baiying was very surprised: "Yanting, why are you here?"
He Yanting looked distant: "I'm here to see Grandpa with Ruanruan."
Lin Baiying paused, her smile disappeared, and she moved aside: "Come in."
This is also something that Jiang Xu has never understood.
He Yanting is extremely fond of Jiang Xueruo, but has always been indifferent to Jiang Minghuai and Lin Baiying, with no intention of loving them both.
Jiang Xu walked to the bedside and held grandpa's hand.
Looking at her grandfather whom she hadn't seen for several years, whose hair and beard had turned a little whiter, she felt very sad.
In fact, when she was a child, her parents were very busy, and at least half of her time was spent with her grandparents. The two old people really loved her as their granddaughter.
"Ruanruan, is this really you? You've grown into a big girl."
Grandpa raised his old hand and touched Jiang Xu's face.
Jiang Xu choked up and said, "Yes, it's me."
My grandfather is not in good health and after chatting for a while he didn’t have the energy to talk anymore.
Jiang Xu stood up and said, "Grandpa, you should take a rest first. I will come to see you when I have time."
He Yanting handed her a tissue: "Wipe your tears."
Jiang Xu sniffed and wiped her tears as she walked out.
After the two left, Lin Baiying called Jiang Xueruo:
"Hey, didn't you say Jiang Xu and He Yanting's relationship wasn't good? Why are they here together to see the old man today?"
"There's only one He Yanting in this world. If you miss this opportunity, you'll never get it again. And he's so partial to you, yet you haven't been able to win him over for all these years!"
"Are you really my daughter? How come you didn't inherit any of my good qualities?"
"Mom was counting on you to help me win back my marriage and put a damper on the arrogance of that bitch mother and daughter!"
—
On the way home, Jiang Xu suddenly saw something and asked the driver to stop the car.
She walked quickly into the furniture store, and when He Yanting realized what she wanted to do, it was too late.
Jiang Xu found the bed and asked the salesperson, "It's clearly in stock, why are you making me wait?"
The salesperson was speechless and had to look at He Yanting.
Jiang Xu narrowed his eyes: "It turns out you are the one causing trouble."
He Yanting touched his tall nose and smirked, "How can something that strengthens the relationship between husband and wife be called causing trouble?"
