Chapter 88 Please Feel Pity for Me
Jiang Xu said calmly, "A friend gave me some grapes. They were delicious, so I thought I'd give some to Grandma to try."
Mrs. He was very calm, nodded and smiled: "It's thoughtful, and it's still soft and filial."
The three of them walked towards the reception room.
Jiang Xu went to the kitchen to wash grapes, and Xia Yulin came over.
While helping to pick grapes, she casually said, "Mom and your Grandma He were just talking about you and Yan Ting."
"Um."
Jiang Xu responded softly.
Xia Yulin observed her for a moment and pursed her lips. "What did you hear? Do you think your mother is talking behind your back?"
Jiang Xu felt that her mother was testing her.
She smiled and said, "The door was closed and I didn't hear anything, so you came out."
Xia Yulin seemed relieved and said nothing more.
Jiang Xu's heart was filled with ripples.
She has always had a very good relationship with her mother. Xia Yulin is a very open-minded elder, and the two of them can talk about anything.
I didn't expect that she was hiding such a big secret.
It's about a person's death.
This person is related to He Yanting.
She suddenly remembered what Song Mingyue said to her last time. She asked her if she knew how He Yanting's mother died.
Could these two be related?
After washing the grapes, Jiang Xu carried the fruit basket, glanced outside, and asked Xia Yulin, "Is Xia Corporation cooperating with Shengyu Group?"
Xia Yulin shook her head: "No, why do you ask this?"
Jiang Xu pursed her lips and said, "Nothing. I'm just worried that if I quarrel with He Yanting in the future, it will affect the Xia family."
Xia Yulin laughed: "Silly child, why are you thinking about these things right after getting married?"
She touched her daughter's long hair and said, "Ruanruan will be happy forever."
Jiang Xu put down the fruit basket and hugged Xia Yulin coquettishly.
"Mom, just think of it as a way to put my mind at ease. Tell grandpa and uncle to be careful."
Xia Yulin was helpless: "Okay, I will."
Back in the living room, Mrs. He ate grapes and praised their delicious taste.
"Ruanruan is still very filial and always thinks of me, an old lady."
As she spoke, she seemed to remember something. "Isn't it strange? Didn't we talk about shares last time? The old man talked to Yan Ting a few days ago, and guess what, he refused."
Jiang Xu paused in eating grapes.
Mrs. He curled her lips. "He said that even without our shares, he can still hold the position of the head of the group."
Xia Yulin smiled and said, "Yan Ting is indeed very capable."
Old Madam He smiled proudly: "That's right, otherwise, with so many outstanding children in the He family, they would never have chosen him as the heir."
Jiang Xu listened to their conversation without saying a word.
Go home in the afternoon.
Jiang Xu came to He Yanting's study.
The door of his study was not locked, and Jiang Xu had never been in there. When he pushed open the door, he saw the extremely simple furnishings.
In the middle is a large black desk with only a silver laptop on it. On the west wall is a huge bookshelf filled with various Chinese and English books and documents, most of which are about economics and finance.
She wanted to find some clues about He Yanting's mother.
I looked around but couldn't find a single photo in the entire study.
Finally, her eyes fell on the three drawers in the lower right corner of the desk.
I tried, but the drawers weren't locked.
The two drawers above contained some contracts. Jiang Xu felt a little discouraged and opened the bottom drawer.
Surprisingly, the third drawer contained two boxes.
It's a black paper box with a very textured feel.
Jiang Xu took out one and opened it.
Inside lay a photo album.
The album was still black, with a line of handwritten English in gold font on the cover:
My forever love.
The English handwriting was fluent and beautiful, and Jiang Xu recognized it as He Yanting's at a glance.
Open it for the first time.
What came into view was a familiar face and a familiar background.
That was in the study area of the A University Library. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows in the background were blooming peach blossoms.
The girl fell asleep on the table.
The sunlight fell on her, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and the golden light cast an unreal and dreamy feeling around her.
The camera was very close, and every detail of the girl's skin, eyelashes, and face was clear.
It’s such a peaceful and beautiful atmosphere.
Jiang Xu looked at the photo and was in a daze for several seconds before realizing that the person in the photo was himself.
She didn't even know when it was taken.
She turned to the second page, and it was still her.
She sat on the carousel, made a V sign to the camera, and smiled with her eyes curved like crescent moons.
Jiang Xu remembered that this was the first time she and He Yanting went to the amusement park after they fell in love.
She continued to move forward.
A whole album of photos of her.
When they were in love, she knew that He Yanting liked to take pictures of her, and the pictures he took looked particularly beautiful.
But she had no idea when many of the photos here were taken secretly when she wasn't paying attention.
On the suburban path, she chases the butterfly's back.
When it snowed, she admired the profile of the snowflakes.
…
After flipping through the entire photo album, Jiang Xu felt as if something was blocking his chest.
She opened the second box.
Inside was a bunch of trivial little gadgets.
The birthday gifts she gave me a few years ago were a wallet, a watch, and an exquisite men's perfume.
He was too lazy to take a closer look at it at the time. She had never seen him use it and thought he had thrown it away long ago.
There was also a straw ring that was completely dried up.
It was when they were in love and went for an outing in the countryside, and she randomly picked a piece of grass and weaved it for him.
At the time, she joked, "He Yanting, will you marry me? I don't care whether you are willing or not, you have to marry me anyway."
After saying that, she put the ring on He Yanting's ring finger.
At that time, the sunlight poured down from above his head, and he smiled gently and dotingly.
"I, He Yanting, will not marry anyone other than Jiang Xu in this life."
There were some other things in it, the paper cranes she folded when she was bored while studying, the note she left for him when she went out traveling, and even a small stone.
Jiang Xu picked it up on the roadside and said that the stone looked like a five-pointed star, so he gave it to He Yanting.
I didn't expect he kept it until now.
Jiang Xu didn't want to read any more, so she restored the box and put it back in the drawer.
He Yanting came back early that night and went to the study to see her first.
While taking off his coat, he said that dinner would be served soon.
After saying that, he went into the study to work.
Dinner was still plentiful and appetizing.
During the meal, Jiang Xu specifically mentioned that he had returned to the He family's old house today.
"Um."
He Yanting responded.
Naturally, he knew everything. Jiang Xu was followed by bodyguards wherever he went, and they would report their itinerary to him at any time.
Jiang Xu said calmly, "My mom was there too. She seemed to have talked about you with grandma, but I don't know what they were talking about. They stopped talking when I got there."
After saying that, she stared at He Yanting.
He Yanting's expression was calm, without any sign of emotion.
"Oh, maybe he's saying something bad about me."
He filled a bowl of chicken soup and placed it in front of Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu drank the chicken soup silently without asking any more questions.
In the evening, He Yanting seemed to have something to do. After cleaning up the kitchen, he took a shower and then went into the study.
Jiang Xu studied until eleven o'clock and returned to the bedroom, just as He Yanting came out of the study.
He dawdled to the bedroom door.
Jiang Xu was alert: "What are you doing?"
He Yanting rubbed his neck and said, "Ruanruan, please be kind to me. I have a serious stiff neck from sleeping on the sofa every day."
He leaned closer and begged, "It's okay if I don't sleep on the bed. I can sleep on the floor."
Before Jiang Xu could say anything, He Yanting squeezed in.
"If you don't say anything, that means you agree."
He quickly took out a quilt from the cabinet and spread it on the floor beside the bed, then lay down beautifully.
Jiang Xu knew that she couldn't drive him away.
She asked, "Why not buy another bed?"
He Yanting lay on the floor, crossed his legs, resting his head on his arms, and said leisurely, "Unless we get a crib when the baby is born, there will never be a second bed in our house."
Jiang Xu sneered.
Then you can just sleep on the floor.
She turned off the lights and lay down, warning: "If you dare to climb up here in the middle of the night, you will sleep on the sofa forever."
In the darkness, He Yanting's voice came: "Don't worry, I have always been honest and trustworthy."
After that, no one spoke anymore.
Half an hour later.
He Yanting raised his upper body and whispered a few words: "Soft, soft..."
After waiting for a while, there was no response.
He moved silently, using his hands and feet, to crawl onto the bed like a giant spider.
With a snap.
The room suddenly brightened.
Jiang Xu looked coldly at the man who was halfway up: "Honest and trustworthy?"
He Yanting was embarrassed, touched his nose, and smiled awkwardly: "It's a misunderstanding, just sleepwalking."
After saying that, he quietly retreated and lay down.
