Chapter 64 Chapter 64 I Don't Want to Lose Her
Wen Yao asked her, "What do you think? Don't you think it's possible? Mom, Jiang Yue was so busy the night before last that he only slept for four hours. He didn't sleep all night last night. He still has company matters to deal with, people are still scolding him, and the Jiang family is waiting for his explanation. Now... I want to ask you to let him rest. And think carefully about whether you care more about your own glory and face, or about Jiang Yue. He's just an ordinary person, but he has no one to rely on, so he acts stronger than ordinary people."
Huang Qianyi opened her mouth slightly, then closed it again, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't. Finally, she snorted coldly and turned to go to her room.
When Wen Yao saw her finally leave, she immediately returned to the third floor to see if Jiang Yue was woken up.
I opened the door quietly and saw Jiang Yue still sleeping soundly on the sofa. He was indeed tired and had not woken up.
She let out a long sigh and sat down next to him again, keeping an eye on him to prevent Huang Qianyi from coming in and acting crazy again.
Huang Qianyi hadn't come yet, and the whole manor was quiet. Wen Yao only slept for a few hours last night. After sitting for a while, she felt sleepy and fell asleep on the edge of the sofa.
Jiang Yue usually didn't sleep for long and woke up in the afternoon. The bright afternoon sun shone through the curtains, casting a hazy and soft light into the room. Wen Yao was sleeping on the sofa, her little head arched against his waist and squeezing space with him. Her posture looked very tired, but she seemed to be sleeping soundly.
Jiang Yue didn't move at all, just lying there, looking at the room, looking at her.
He rarely woke up from his room at this time, almost never, because he didn't have such a leisurely afternoon. Even if he took a break at noon, it was always a short nap in the office or on the plane. This was the first time.
It is very quiet and warm, making people unconsciously relaxed and peaceful, as if there is a feeling of peace and tranquility. Looking at the woman leaning beside him, there is a softness like water in his heart, but in this softness, a strength rises.
The moment the police took him away for investigation, he knew that everything was over. He fell into the gears of fate again, pushed forward by that invisible huge force. Even if he used all his strength to resist, it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot or an ant trying to shake a tree.
That night at the police station, he answered the police's interrogations again and again. Although he couldn't see what was happening outside, he knew that the situation was hopeless and his life was over.
However, when he left the interrogation room and saw the bright sunshine and her, he saw worry and heartache in her eyes, as if if his father had not been there, if they had not been a fake couple, she would have rushed over and thrown herself into his arms and cried, telling him that it was great, he could finally get out.
From the moment she stopped her enraged mother, spoke nonsense to the reporters, and contradicted her father, she was the only one who believed that he was innocent, the only one who cared whether he would be wronged, the only one who knew that he had not eaten a single grain of rice since yesterday afternoon, and the only one who felt that he needed someone to accompany him now.
At this moment he understood that he also longed to be cared for and loved, and he longed for it very much.
Then, a feeling of rebirth arose spontaneously, as if a seed had broken through the soil in the muddy quagmire, showing off its emerald green leaves, wanting to take root in the quagmire, grow towards the sky, and become a towering tree.
She gave him the strength to seek a new life.
And he was also sure that he didn't want to lose her.
…
When Wen Yao woke up, Jiang Yue was still lying on the sofa, holding his cell phone in one hand and resting his arm under his head. He looked lazy, but his face showed the expression of an old man on the subway.
She was surprised at what made him look like that. She moved closer to see that he was not reading the news but a novel, a romance novel from Green Station.
"Are you...crazy?"
Jiang Yue ordered her: "Go ask Sister Chen to bring me some food, especially more rice."
Wen Yao felt strange again: "Why do you want more rice?"
Jiang Yue patted her head and said, "I'm starving!"
He has those moments too!
Wen Yao couldn't help laughing, and immediately stood up to open the door. After taking a few steps, she suddenly remembered: "Your mother is here, waiting for you in the room downstairs!"
Jiang Yue said nonchalantly, "Don't worry about her for now. Ask Sister Chen to quietly bring some food over. Don't tell her I'm awake. I'll be quiet for a while."
Wen Yao nodded in understanding and ran to open the door to order food.
After a while, she came back and sat on the sofa again. She reached for her phone but couldn't find it. Then she looked at Jiang Yue and found that he was holding her phone. "What are you doing with my phone?"
Jiang Yue quit the book he was reading, swiped through her favorites twice, and opened a new book. He replied calmly, "I lost my phone."
"Did it fall?"
"Yes, I fell into the elevator shaft yesterday."
Only then did Wen Yao understand why he didn't respond when she contacted him before. It turned out that bad luck always came in a series.
She thought hard and realized there was nothing on her phone that she couldn't let him see, so she asked, "Then why are you reading novels?"
At this time, Mrs. Chen brought the food over. Jiang Yue stood up from the sofa and replied to her, "I'll tell you later."
Wen Yao suddenly remembered and said in surprise, "I haven't eaten either!"
Jiang Yue pulled out the stool next to the coffee table: "Come and eat."
After quickly taking a bite of the meal, Wen Yao asked him, "What happened yesterday? What happened after I left?"
"Where did you go yesterday?" Jiang Yue asked back.
"You tell me your story first." Wen Yao narrowed her eyes at him and said, "You haven't said anything about what happened yet. Could it be that... that happened?"
Jiang Yue glared at her and said, "The Yue'er Hotel has been using Weifang toiletries. Half a month ago, I informed them that I would not renew the contract after it expired, and they have been trying to make me change my mind."
"Isn't Weifang a well-known brand? I used it yesterday and it was quite good."
"Their spokesperson for next season will be Guan Xiaoya," Jiang Yue said.
Wen Yao understood that Jiang Yue didn't want to have anything to do with Guan Xiaoya, and didn't even want to use the brand she endorsed.
"Then yesterday was..."
"I didn't agree to their negotiations, but when I returned to my room yesterday, Guan Xiaoya was already there."
"Wow..." The domineering boss plot is coming!
Jiang Yue stared at Wen Yao: "What's with that expression on your face? Why do you look a little excited?"
Wen Yao quickly closed her round mouth and said seriously, "No, no, what happened next?"
"Then I asked her to leave, but she refused and kept pestering me. I opened the door to call security, but her boyfriend showed up."
"Boyfriend?" Wen Yao thought for a moment, "That director?"
Jiang Yue nodded.
"He barged in without explanation and asked me what I was doing. Guan Xiaoya, realizing she was about to lose everything, rushed in front of him and accused him of trying to molest her. The director then called the police."
"So that's how it is..." Wen Yao said unwillingly, "Then there shouldn't be much evidence. Why are the police still interrogating for so long?"
Jiang Yue replied, "Because Guan Xiaoya has been stubborn and has a good story-teller, she refused to admit that she ran into my room on her own. Plus, her identity is special, and the police have to verify it thoroughly, so it took a while. If there wasn't so little evidence, I wouldn't have been able to get out overnight."
Wen Yao understood that sexual assault was a very difficult crime to convict, and naturally it was also difficult to clear the accusation. If nothing had happened between them, he would probably have been put in the detention center.
"Okay, tell me, what did you do last night?" Jiang Yue asked.
Wen Yao showed him the anonymous text message on her phone.
"Who is Yao Qianshu?" Jiang Yue asked.
"It's me, my pen name, the homonym of 'money tree'." No one in this world knows about this, and no one will ever know about it.
Hearing her words, Jiang Yue laughed and commented, "You're obsessed with money." Then he continued to read the text message.
He was always calm and composed, but at this moment he still showed a bit of shock. He put down his chopsticks, took her phone and looked at it carefully, and asked her, "You went?"
Wen Yao nodded. "Yes, but the time was not enough. I was maybe ten minutes late, but I waited there for forty or fifty minutes, and no one showed up. I couldn't contact you at the time, and I was afraid something might have happened, so I came back. He didn't contact me again after that."
Jiang Yue asked again: "Can you guess who it is?"
Wen Yao shook her head: "I've been guessing for a long time, but I can't guess it."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "Why did you know my name was Wen Yao?"
She remembered that she was taken into his car because he called out her name even though they were strangers. From then on, she was on a pirate ship and on a road of no return.
Jiang Yue pondered for a moment and replied, "I don't know why I knew this, probably after I died.
"At that time, I shot myself, and then suddenly I had a strange perspective. I saw a computer, saw the words on it, and saw a woman typing. I saw the plot outline she listed and saw an ID card on her desk. At that time, my mind suddenly became clear. I knew what kind of world I was in and what kind of role I was. Then I was 20 years old again."
After saying that, he added: "That woman is you."
Wen Yao coughed lightly: "So, since you know my name, if there is a new awakener, he may also know my pen name."
"If the other person is an awakened one, it's normal for him to ask you out, but why would he ask you out at that time and place, and why didn't he meet you? What's his purpose in doing this?"
Jiang Yue thought the same thing as she did, but she still couldn't figure it out. She could only shake her head and say, "I don't know."
Jiang Yue looked at the content of the text message again: "This person looks like an enemy, not a friend."
Wen Yao also had no good feelings towards this person. After all, he had taken her for a walk and harmed Jiang Yue. However, she didn't know who the other person was and was helpless.
"Let's leave it there for now and wait for his next move." Jiang Yue said.
Wen Yao agreed.
At this moment, she thought of Jiang Yue's own affairs and asked him tentatively: "Do you want to go see your grandfather later and explain everything to him?"
Jiang Yue lowered his head to peel a shrimp and did not respond immediately.
Wen Yao was anxious and urged him, "Alright, stop eating. How can you be so careless? I'm so worried about you!"
Jiang Yue finished eating the shrimp, wiped his hands with a tissue, and stood up: "I'm going to take a shower."
Soon he entered the bathroom, and the sound of water splashing came from inside.
Wen Yao couldn't help but think of his tall and handsome figure that she had seen before. The water flowed down from his head and along his chest muscles...
No, what was she thinking! Wen Yao artificially interrupted her consciousness and began to seriously think about what to say when he went to see Mr. Jiang.
