Chapter 567 Who is Xie Shang? Who is Feng Hua?
Lin Yu poured a drink for her, "Ah Ruan, I'll drink with you. Let's drink until we're drunk tonight."
Jiang Fenghua smiled and said, "For the third toast, I want to thank Lin Yu for taking good care of me and for always being there for me."
After drinking her third glass of wine, Jiang Fenghua took out the Nine Phoenix Hairpin she had won and handed it to Lin Yu. "Here, take a look and see if you like it. I think it suits you very well. You'll look great wearing it."
Lin Yu was stunned. "You gave this to me on purpose?"
"Um."
"I really like it, thank you so much, A-Ruan." Lin Yu was moved to tears, sobbing uncontrollably. "I'll like whatever A-Ruan gives me."
She then asked Guo Xiao, "Do you like me?"
Guo Xiaodao said, "I..."
"What do you mean, 'I'? Am I not worthy of your affection?"
“No, I just feel it’s too sudden.” He added, “Of course I like you, I came to the South for you.”
Lin Yu then said to Jiang Fenghua, "I also have men who like me, so don't worry, Aruan!"
She grabbed Guo Xiao's hand and said, "Didn't you want to marry me? I agree."
Guo Xiao stammered, "Really...really?"
"It's fake." A bright smile spread across her face. "If it's fake, would you give up?"
"No, all I want in my life is to marry Lin Yu." Guo Xiao was very happy.
"If I marry someone else, or if I fall in love with someone else, will you give up loving me?"
Guo Xiao said, "No."
Lin Yu poured him a glass of wine. "Silly boy, drink up! I'll marry you when you sober up."
Guo Xiao was completely dumbfounded. "Are you serious?"
Lin Yu didn't actually like Guo Xiao, and there was no better candidate than him at the moment. She drank a glass of wine and said, "Really."
Jiang Jinyan didn't say anything. He felt that Guo Xiao was a good match for Lin Yu. If she got married, she might not be so lonely. Ruan Ruan had her own life.
"I really like the nine-phoenix hairpin you gave me; I wore it on my wedding day." Lin Yu added, "Congratulate me already!"
Jiang Fenghua said, "Congratulations." She was determined to figure out the relationship between Lin Yu and Guo Xiao, and why she was suddenly getting married.
Meng Yao said, "Congratulations, Miss Lin Yu. I'm also getting married soon. Let's have a drink together and congratulate you."
"Congratulations to you too," Lin Yu said.
Guo Xiao felt it was an unexpected delight, "Let me toast everyone!"
Finally, Jiang Fenghua got Lin Yu drunk. Lin Yu's face was flushed, and she raised her glass and said, "Let's drink some more. I'll toast you, Fenghua. Don't mind Xie Shang. Let's drink by ourselves."
Jiang Fenghua seemed to hear her call her "Fenghua," and she suddenly looked at Jiang Jinyan, who was still conscious, and asked, "Who is Xie Shang? Who is Fenghua?"
Jiang Jinyan glanced at Guo Xiao and said in a deep voice, "Take Lin Yu back to the inn!"
Meng Yao couldn't hold his liquor well either; after a few drinks, he passed out, and he had his guards take him away.
At this moment, only Jiang Fenghua and Jiang Jinyan, the two siblings, remained in the room.
He said earnestly, "Ruan Ruan, you don't actually need to know who they are. Your older brother and parents will always be your support. You just need to follow your heart and not worry about the past. You only need to care about whether you are happy, whether you are willing, and whether you are content in the present. That's what we care about most."
Jiang Fenghua has realized that Xie Shang is Xie Qiyun, and Jiang Fenghua is Jiang Ruan. Their acting alongside her is actually an expression of their love for her. Everyone is concerned about whether she is happy, joyful, or fortunate.
Her eyes were slightly red. "Big brother, thank you. I won't let you worry anymore."
“My sister has always been the bravest woman. There are more important people waiting for you in your life besides him.”
With a beautiful smile on her face, she raised her wine glass and said, "Father, Mother, Second Sister, Second Sister-in-law, Fourth Brother, and Eldest Sister-in-law, they are all not here, so let's drink a toast to them together!"
Jiang Jinyan smiled, raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. He hoped his sister would stop dwelling on the past, forget the suffering of her previous life, and live a good life.
He kept Jiang Fenghua company as she drank cup after cup, wanting only for her to enjoy herself. If someone had been there for her in her past life, she wouldn't have suffered so much.
Ruan Ruan, your big brother will definitely protect you. Even the emperor can't bully you.
At this moment, Xie Shang composed himself and arrived. He went straight to Jiang Fenghua's side and saw that she was drowsy and reeking of alcohol: "Ruan Ruan, why did you drink so much?"
Jiang Jinyan said calmly, "She was in a bad mood and wanted to drink, so I let her drink."
Xie Shang said, "Drinking too much is bad for your health. She's your sister, why don't you try to persuade her to stop?"
“Not drinking will harm my sister’s health, and it will also hurt her heart and liver. It’s better to let her drink; she won’t feel bad when she’s drunk.” Jiang Jinyan didn’t mince words. “You promised not to hurt Ruan Ruan, so what happened today?”
Xie Shang was stunned: "It won't happen again next time, you didn't say anything to her, did you!"
“I didn’t say anything to her. I just didn’t want to see her unhappy. If something like this happens again, I’ll take her away. This time I promise I’ll make sure she stays far away.”
Jiang Jinyan added, "Stop lying to my sister. I'm really afraid this matter will get out of hand."
"Okay." Xie Shang didn't say much, but stepped forward and picked Jiang Fenghua up in his arms, saying gently, "Ruan Ruan, let's go back."
Jiang Fenghua was taken back to the inn by Xie Shang, who busied himself taking off her shoes, washing her face, and having someone prepare a hangover soup for her.
Xie Shang called her twice, "Ruan Ruan, are you asleep? Drink the hangover soup first before you go to sleep."
Jiang Fenghua only heard arguing around her and smelled a familiar scent. She was so tired that she fell into a deep sleep.
Xie Shang didn't go back to his own room; instead, he hugged Jiang Fenghua and fell asleep next to her.
The next day, when Jiang Fenghua woke up, she found herself nestled in Xie Qiyun's arms. She tried to move but he held her tightly.
At this moment, she only felt thirsty and wanted to drink water. Xie Shang was also woken up. The two looked at each other and he said, "Ruan Ruan, you're awake."
Jiang Fenghua gave him a push, saying, "I'm thirsty, I want to drink water."
Xie Shang quickly got up to pour her some water.
Jiang Fenghua drank some water and then asked, "Why are you in my room again? Did you bring me back last night? Where's my older brother?"
Xie Shang explained, "I knew you would be thirsty when you woke up, so I specially stayed by your side to pour you water. Who knew I would fall asleep while I was watching you, and then it was dawn. I swear I didn't do anything last night. I swear I'm not lying."
He was grinning, but Jiang Fenghua only felt a headache coming on. "My head hurts, probably because I drank too much."
Xie Shang added, "I have some hangover medicine, I'll go get it for you."
A short while later, Xie Shang returned, carrying a bowl of hangover soup. "This is something I had prepared last night. Drinking it will relieve the pain."
