Chapter 57 Chen Yao'an and Gao Hou are together...
Chen Yao'an, who was on the other end of the phone, was somewhat puzzled by what she heard.
[What are you talking about? I don't even...]
Before she could finish speaking, Shi Xinyu hung up the phone.
Shi Xingyu didn't expect Xu Jialan to rush over and grab her arm, questioning her relentlessly.
"What did you just say? Chen Yao'an is with Gao Hou?"
Xu Jialan's grip was so strong that Shi Xingyu was in pain from it, and she couldn't answer his question.
"Xu Jialan, you're hurting me! Let go!"
Shi Xinyu forcefully shook him off, and he let go of her hand.
"What you said on the phone just now, is it true? Are they really together?"
Seeing his anxious expression, Xin Yu felt incredibly pleased. She deliberately exaggerated a bit, saying, "That's right, who knows, we might get married soon."
"As soon as she finished speaking, she wanted to see Xu Jialan's reaction, but the next second she saw him rush out directly."
Xu Jialan had completely forgotten the guarantee she had written at the police station.
All he could think about was finding Chen Yao'an and getting to the bottom of things.
Ask her why she's with Gao Hou!
She clearly doesn't like him!
All the way, Xu Jialan kept her foot on the gas, wishing she could speed to the Chen family's house.
He managed to shorten the half-hour drive to twenty minutes, and as soon as he arrived at Xiaxin Street, he slammed on the brakes and stopped the car.
A screeching sound of brakes echoed across the sky above Yao'an Town.
Xu Jialan jumped out of the car and ran straight to the Chen family's house.
The Chen family's gate was closed as usual. Before he could even catch his breath, he raised his hand and knocked on the gate urgently.
"Open the door!"
The iron gate was smashed with a loud bang.
Yan Shumei was standing in the courtyard. "Who is it? Why are you knocking so urgently?"
She slowly walked over and opened the door, her cane dangling from her arm.
Inside the house, Chen Yao'an also heard the knocking. The knocking was so urgent that she came out as well.
Yan Shumei opened the door, but she moved slowly. The door had barely opened a crack when the person outside impatiently pushed it open with all their might.
The door opened inwards, and Yan Shumei was startled, instinctively taking a few steps back, almost falling. Fortunately, Chen Yao'an had already walked behind her and caught her in time.
"What a disaster!" Yan Shumei exclaimed. "You scared me to death!"
Xu Jialan then realized that she had lost control of her emotions. "I'm sorry, Grandma."
"What are you doing, Xu Jialan?" Chen Yaoan glared at him.
Xu Jialan calmed her heaving chest and looked at her. "I have something I want to ask you."
Chen Yao'an glanced at him and said to Yan Shumei, "Grandma, you should go to sleep first."
"Why did you have to say it so late at night? You scared me half to death." Yan Shumei complained a few times, but still went back to her room.
After Yan Shumei left, Chen Yaoan took a few steps forward and blocked the doorway, placing both hands on it. She didn't give him a chance to speak.
"It's getting late, we should rest."
He was about to close the door when he said that.
Xu Jialan raised her hand to block the door, "I have something to tell you."
"I have nothing to say to you."
Chen Yao'an exerted force, but she was no match for his strength, and the door remained frozen in place due to the combined force of the two.
"I just want to ask you, are you really with Gao Hou?"
His question baffled Chen Yao'an, but she simply didn't want to answer him. "What's it to you?"
Not getting an answer, Xu Jialan became a little anxious, took a step forward, and asked again, "Are you really with Gao Hou?"
She also took a step back.
Unexpectedly, Xu Jialan pressed on, grabbing her shoulder and urgently saying, "Answer me."
Pressed and somewhat annoyed, Chen Yao'an raised her hand and slapped his hands away. "It's my own business, why should I have any obligation to tell you!"
"Xu Jialan, get out of here!"
“I’m not leaving.” He grabbed her hand. “Anyway, answer me first.”
Chen Yaoan shook him off, "Xu Jialan, are you ever going to stop? Don't forget, you signed a guarantee at the police station saying you wouldn't harass me again. Have you forgotten that so quickly?"
He hadn't forgotten, but he couldn't care less. "All I want to know today is an answer."
Chen Yao'an sneered. Since he wanted to know so much, she would just refuse to tell him!
"Okay, then you can stand outside the door first."
Xu Jialan was suspicious for a moment, but only for a moment, before obediently retreating outside the door.
Chu Yao'an seized the opportunity and quickly reached out to close the door.
He immediately realized her intention and, in a moment of panic, reached out to stop her. He was also lucky; his hand slipped into the gap between the two doors, and the doors squeezed his hand tightly shut.
"Hiss~"
Xu Jialan gasped.
Chen Yao'an was also startled and hurriedly opened the door again. She was about to ask him if his hand was okay, but she swallowed the words back.
She didn't need to be soft-hearted or concerned about his injuries.
"Go back now."
Unexpectedly, Xu Jialan stepped over the door again, still unwilling to give up, "I'm not going back, you still haven't given me an answer."
She didn't know when Xu Jialan had become so stubborn. "Xu Jialan, can't you understand what I'm saying? If you don't leave, I'm going to..."
Xu Jialan interrupted her, "Call the police again? Go ahead and call, I don't care."
He acted like he had too many lice and wasn't bothered by the itch.
"you!"
She was at a loss for what to do with him and wanted to find a stick to chase him out, but after glancing around the yard, she couldn't find a stick. Instead, she found a half-full bucket of water.
She jogged over, grabbed the half-bucket of water, walked back, and without thinking, splashed it on Xu Jialan.
Xu Jialan didn't react for a moment, and was drenched in water. The water was all over her face, and she couldn't open her eyes at all.
Taking advantage of the moment when he couldn't see clearly, Chen Yao'an pushed the person out the door, then quickly closed and locked it.
Pushed outside the door, Xu Jialan took a few steps back before regaining her balance, and wiped her face to feel better.
Unfortunately, the door in front of me was already closed.
Xu Jialan was discouraged and had no choice but to give up.
The air was already a bit chilly at the end of summer, especially at night, and Xu Jialan shivered incessantly when the wind blew.
Back in the car, Xu Jialan dried herself off with a towel, leaned back in her seat, lit a cigarette, but didn't smoke it.
Chen Yao'an's bucket of water seemed to have completely sobered him up.
Once he calmed down, he realized that he truly loved Chen Yao'an, even more than he thought, to the point that he couldn't live without her.
When he heard that Chen Yao'an and Gao Hou were together, he admitted that he had gone a little crazy. He was insanely jealous, which is why he was so determined to get an answer from Chen Yao'an, and a negative one at that.
He put the cigarette in his mouth, his cheeks hollowed out, took a deep drag, and then laughed at himself, never expecting that he, Xu Jialan, would have such a day.
But, he accepted his fate.
He knew she minded the terrible things he had done in the past, and looking back now, he truly felt regret.
He took another deep drag of his cigarette, and the feeling of regret was as if his internal organs had been ripped out and brutally beaten.
If he has been completely innocent from beginning to end...
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".
Now we'll prove it to her, at least he'll guarantee he'll always be innocent.
As for that Gao Houyi
Thinking of him, Xu Jialan's eyes hardened. So what if he's with Chen Yaoan? He'll just take him back from him!
—
After what happened last night, Chen Yaoan thought Xu Jialan wouldn't let it go and would block her at her shop.
As a result, she did not see Xu Jialan near Youye the next day, which surprised her, but this suited her better.
After a peaceful day, Xu Jialan unexpectedly went straight to the Chen family's house when she returned home that evening.
When she returned, Xu Jialan was playing with Zhou Yao in the yard.
Chen Yao'an said to him irritably, "Why are you here again?"
"I've come to see Grandma and Auntie."
"That's the same excuse again," Chen Yao'an couldn't help but roll her eyes. "You've already seen it before."
"I've already seen it, can't I watch it again?"
That's really just sophistry.
Chen Yao'an didn't look at him again. She went into the house and saw many gift boxes on the table. She asked Yan Shumei, "Grandma, what are these?"
"This is from Jialan. She said she wanted to apologize to you. What were you two doing outside last night?"
The two of them made quite a commotion last night. Yan Shumei didn't sleep, and although she didn't hear clearly, she still caught a bit of it.
"Grandma, could you please not let Xu Jialan in anymore?"
"What's going on between you two?" She was old and couldn't understand the affairs of young people; she was completely confused.
"In short, don't let him in."
At this point, Xu Jialan stepped inside.
Chen Yao'an picked up the things on the table, shoved them into his arms, and pushed him out, saying, "Take your things and get out!"
Xu Jialan was pushed back into the yard, but once inside, she could no longer be pushed.
He said, "I have something to tell you."
"I don't want to hear it. You'd better leave now, or I'll splash water on you."
He coughed a few times as soon as she finished speaking, clearly because of the bucket of water from last night.
He replied, "Let me finish what I have to say. You can splash it after I'm done. I'll leave once you've finished."
Chen Yao'an frowned. When did he become so easy to talk to?
“If you don’t let me speak, I’ll just stand here and not leave. Anyway, I’m shameless. I’m a grown man lying in your yard, and you can’t move me anyway.”
"you!"
Xu Jialan looked at her, her mind made up, she was true to her word.
His shamelessness has truly reached a new level!
Chen Yao'an couldn't do anything to him for the time being, so she bit her lip and said, "Okay, you go ahead."
Xu Jialan put the things she was holding on the ground and became serious.
"sorry."
"Everything before was my fault. I did a lot of wrong things that made you not trust me as much. It's okay. I will learn to be a better person and win you back."
Chen Yaoan was taken aback; it was rare to see him so serious.
"What are you saying! Who asked you to chase after me!"
Xu Jialan smiled and did not refute her words.
"I'll leave these things for Grandma and Aunt Zhou. I'm leaving now."
After he finished speaking, he didn't linger and turned to leave.
His decisiveness made Chen Yao'an feel a little uncomfortable, and she turned to watch him walk out of the Chen family home.
The next day, when Chen Yaoan got off work, Xu Jialan was waiting for her at the entrance of Youye.
He stood by the car and invited her to ride in his car, saying, "I'll give you a ride."
"Need not."
She continued walking forward.
Xu Jialan didn't ask a second time, and just watched her get on her electric scooter.
Chen Yao'an didn't know what he wanted to do, so she ignored him, got into the car, and drove away.
After she left, Xu Jialan got into the car and silently followed behind her.
Chen Yao'an stopped at the intersection to wait for the traffic light, and he stopped as well, walking alongside her.
She quickly noticed his car, turned her head to look at it, and he rolled down his window and greeted her.
Chen Yaoan immediately turned her head back.
Xu Jialan followed her all the way until she returned home.
She rode her electric scooter home, while he parked his at the entrance of the alley.
Chen Yao'an was afraid he would follow her home, so she turned around to look again, but Xu Jialan did not get out of the car.
The car made a U-turn in the alley and then drove away.
She frowned, somewhat confused about what he was up to.
