Chapter 39
She then questioned Jiang Zhe, asking: "Why didn't you wake me up?"
Jiang Zhe said: "I called you, but you didn't wake up."
Jiang Yu began to question herself. Was she born in the year of the pig? Why didn’t she wake up even when he called her?
At night, she became more alert. When she heard faint crying in her dreams, she forced herself to wake up for several nights, but she was too sleepy. One night, she struggled in her dream for a long time and finally woke up. Then she vaguely saw Jiang Zhe taking the child out, and after he coaxed the child into submission, he brought the child back.
Jiang Yu was stunned by this man's actions. Not only did he not call her, but he took the crying child outside.
After coaxing the child to sleep, he came back. Jiang Yu quickly closed her eyes and put the child under the quilt. Seeing that her quilt was not covered properly, he covered her with the quilt, paused above her for a while, closed his eyes, and gently kissed her forehead.
I asked him to wake me up, but not only did he not wake me up, he even kissed me while I was sleeping?
Jiang Yu felt a little confused. When did the honest Jiang Zhe change?
When he kissed her forehead, Jiang Yu's body was stiff and she dared not breathe.
After he kissed her secretly, he did not turn off the light and go to sleep. Instead, he supported his cheek with his hands and looked at her quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long time, he turned off the lights and went to sleep, and Jiang Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The next day, she asked the same question as before: "Didn't you call me when the child woke up last night?"
Jiang Zhe lied without blushing at all. Now: "I called you, but you turned around and fell asleep again. It doesn't matter. I'll take care of the child."
Jiang Yu muttered, "Then why am I sleeping in your room?"
But in my heart I was cursing him, what a liar, for not waking her up.
He tilted his head as if thinking seriously and said, "You can accompany her to sleep, and sing to her before going to sleep."
This guy never tilted his head before, but for some reason he can do it now.
The key point is that it looks a bit cute on him, diluting his original coldness and loneliness, making him look a bit sunny and cheerful.
It has to be said that what Jiang Zhe said did make some sense, so Jiang Yu found another reason to stay.
She asked, "So, what didn't you do to me when we went to bed at night?"
Jiang Zhe asked back: "What do you want me to do? Or perhaps, what do you expect me to do?"
Jiang Yu: "...Where did you learn such a smooth talk?"
Jiang Zhe didn't care about her accusations. He smiled and rubbed her head, saying, "One of us has to take the initiative. If you don't take the initiative, then I have to do it."
You win.
The clothes that Jiang Yu bought for her little one online soon arrived. Although the price was not cheap when she bought them, she found that the fabrics were not what she imagined, or they were too big or too small. After Jiang Yu returned the unsuitable ones, she said to Jiang Zhe, "How about we take the baby out shopping? Neither of us has ever taken the baby shopping before."
Jiang Zhe naturally had no objection.
It was a Friday night and the mall was still crowded with people. Jiang Yu was walking briskly in the front, looking around, while Jiang Zhe followed behind with the child in his arms.
Jiang Zhe had said before that he had overcome his fear of facing crowds, but when Jiang Yu found that she couldn't see Jiang Zhe and looked for him everywhere, she saw that his expression was a little unnatural and he was avoiding people who were about to touch him.
The coldness on his face flashed away.
This guy doesn't seem to be as strong as he says. Jiang Yu curled her lips and started to tease him.
"Jiang Zhe, it seems like you still don't like interacting with people."
"You're actually quite nervous when you don't say those sweet things to me."
Jiang Zhe didn't expect that she would come to him and tell him these. He was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say, but his ears slowly turned red.
He is indeed not as calm as he appears.
No explanation means tacit consent. Jiang Yu didn't expect that she had guessed it by accident. She laughed immediately: "I didn't expect that, Jiang Zhe, you would be such a man."
Jiang Zhe: “…”
There were the most people on the first floor. In order to confirm that Jiang Zhe was actually trying to adapt to this environment and not really used to it, Jiang Yu took him upstairs in the elevator. When they reached the second floor, the crowd was dispersed and there were fewer people.
Seeing the maternity and baby shop, she walked in. There were many things for babies on sale, including pretty bottles, beautiful and comfortable clothes, milk powder, and various children's toys. Jiang Yu liked them very much. The shopping guides here were very persuasive, so she quickly bought a lot and even became a member.
When she went home with her bags in the evening, she checked online and found that the things she bought in the maternity and baby store were twice as expensive as those in the online flagship store.
And the things I bought are basically all available at home.
Jiang Yu took the money and did some calculations, and found that she had been cheated out of a lot of money due to her impulse buying. Although she spent Jiang Zhe's money, she still felt a little heartbroken.
Moreover, she had vowed to teach Jiang Zhe how to bargain, but in the end, she failed to teach him how to bargain and ended up being cheated.
He bought all the things in the house. He must know whether there are any problems, whether there are any shortages, and whether the prices are too high. However, he still did not persuade himself. Jiang Yu immediately found fault with Jiang Zhe and asked, "Why didn't you persuade me when you bought them? I feel like I bought a lot of expensive and useless garbage."
Jiang Zhe groaned: "It is still somewhat useful. For example, the clothes you bought for the child, I think they are very nice, and the toys you bought, she will definitely like them."
"But apart from these, everything else is much more expensive than what you buy online. Didn't you buy all those before? Don't you know if I was ripped off?"
Jiang Zhe knew it, of course. He touched his nose guiltily and said, "You looked very happy at that time."
He did want to remind her not to buy some things, but her smile was so bright at the time that he did not stop her.
Jiang Yu was very angry. Of course she was happy shopping, but if he had told her that at that time, she would not have bought so many useless things. The physical store is different from the online store. Online purchases can be returned within seven days without giving any questions, but physical purchases cannot be returned even if there is no problem. Jiang Yu is the kind of person who will scold the boss for money. She was fooled into spending so much money in vain, even if the money was not hers, she was still angry.
She angrily said to Jiang Zhe: "We both have children now. Although I know you run your own company and make a lot of money, life can't always be smooth sailing. Children are money-eating beasts. Our money should be used wisely. If something like this happens again next time, you must remind me, understand."
Jiang Zhe originally just wanted to make her happy, but he didn't expect that he would end up making her angry.
With a hint of guilt in her voice, she said, "Sorry, I'll be more careful next time."
In fact, her own problem was bigger. If she hadn't listened to their nonsense, she wouldn't have spent tens of thousands of dollars in vain. Although Jiang Zhe herself might not think that this little money was nothing, she still felt the pain.
But it was her own fault, so she couldn't take her anger out on Jiang Zhe. After calming down for a while, Jiang Yu said, "Okay, I won't say anything to you. But next time you encounter something that you think is problematic, can you remind me and let me make my own decision? I don't want to give money to others for nothing. Although it may be easier for you to make money than many people, I don't want to suffer losses."
Jiang Zhe's throat rolled: "Okay."
Jiang Yu felt that he seemed a little guilty, so she quickly smiled and explained, "Well, actually I don't blame you. I'm just angry at myself for being so soft-hearted and easily believing other people's lies."
Jiang Zhe reached out and touched her head, comforting her, "It's okay. After all, we are both first-time parents. I know you want the best for your child."
Jiang Yu was still very upset. She grabbed Jiang Zhe's shirt and said with great regret: "I shouldn't have checked online after buying it. I feel unbalanced now."
Then, she buried her head in Jiang Zhe's arms and cried fake tears. Although her crying was fake, her regret was real. The real reason was not entirely because she bought the physical item too expensively, but because she was stingy and had to compare prices online. Now she felt uncomfortable.
Jiang Zhe was stunned when he saw her pulling his shirt and pressing her head against his chest.
But Jiang Yu was still immersed in her own depressed and annoyed mood, and had no idea that she was doing anything dangerous.
Jiang Zhe thought for a moment and said, "I know how to make you less sad."
Jiang Yu's eyes brightened instantly: "What should we do?"
"Come in with me."
Jiang Yu was then pulled into the room by his hand.
When she lay down on the bed, Jiang Zhe kissed her and said, "This way, you can divert your attention."
Jiang Yu didn't know why she had chosen to believe him just now. Now she was pressed down on the bed, letting him do whatever he wanted. Her lips were soft and her mind was blank. He bent his body, resting his whole body on top of her, kissing her gently and devotedly.
Jiang Yu felt like her soul was about to float up, and her whole body was enveloped by his aura. Indeed, she temporarily forgot about the thing that made her feel upset. He would indeed divert his attention.
However, as they kissed, Jiang Yu felt aggrieved again. Not only was she taken advantage of when she bought things, but she was also taken advantage of when she got home. Suddenly, tears fell unconsciously, and her voice was filled with complaints.
"Wuwuwu, it's fine if others bully me, but you also bully me, wuwuwu."
Jiang Zhe didn't expect him to burst into tears all of a sudden. After a moment of silence, he hurriedly tried to comfort him: "I'm sorry, I, I..."
It would have been fine if he didn't coax her. Once he did, Jiang Yu's tears shed even more. Jiang Zhe saw her tears rolling down and panicked. He reached out to wipe them for her, but when he found that the more he wiped, the more tears came. He lowered his head and kissed away her tears, his voice still filled with anxiety and panic: "I'm sorry, I, I, I didn't mean it..."
Jiang Yu's voice had changed, accusingly: "Then you did it on purpose."
"I'm sorry. I was wrong."
I don’t know why, but when Jiang Yu saw him apologizing sincerely, she suddenly wanted to laugh, and she actually laughed.
Jiang Zhe didn't understand why she was crying and laughing at the same time, and was stunned.
Jiang Yu pushed him away, sat up, and said, "Forget it, I know you are comforting me, I am not sad now."
After being teased like that, she really didn't think about the matter anymore.
Jiang Zhe went to get her a tissue and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had finally stopped crying.
A little later, Jiang Yu saw that someone had transferred one million yuan to her mobile phone account.
The person who transferred the money was Jiang Zhe.
Her first reaction was confusion. She didn't understand why he wanted to transfer money to her, but she soon realized that he might be trying to comfort herself. Suddenly, her heart felt warm and sweet.
The next day, Jiang Yu's mother came over and asked her about some unnecessary things Jiang Yu had bought.
Jiang Yu said: "I bought it at the mall last night."
By the way, I complained to Jiang Zhe, saying: "He clearly knew that the family didn't need it, and clearly knew that those things were more expensive, but he didn't even tell me."
No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Zhu Zhi immediately asked, "Are you having trouble with Jiang Zhe?"
Jiang Yu: "I scolded him a few times. Who told him not to remind me?"
Zhu Zhi reached out and tapped her on the forehead: "You've already bought it, why are you still comparing prices? If you want to find a cheaper one, there are many cheap and good ones. It's your own fault, but you're still scolding Jiang Zhe. You really are the only one who can stand you."
After being scolded by her mother, Jiang Yu seemed to realize her problem. Jiang Zhe was willing to indulge herself because he wanted her to be happy. To them, that was not a lot of money. He was willing to use a small amount of money to buy her happiness. There was indeed nothing wrong with Jiang Zhe.
She honestly apologized to Jiang Zhe and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you last night."
Mother Jiang said, "Xiaozhe, you shouldn't be so indulgent to her. You are really being unappreciative of your good fortune."
Jiang Yu stuck out her tongue at her mother and was glared at.
Jiang Zhe smiled and explained to Jiang Yu: "Xiaoyu is right, I didn't remind her, I will pay attention next time."
"That's right, spend your money where it counts."
Mother Jiang: "I think it's a waste to give you flowers."
Jiang Yu was dissatisfied: "My husband is happy to be a little bit..."
Jiang Zhe was laughing and playing with her beside her.
At this time, Jiang Zhe received a call on his cell phone.
It was a call from his father. Jiang Zhe probably knew what was going on and his eyes dimmed. Then he went to answer the phone. When he came back, his face looked a little bad.
Jiang Yu and Zhu Zhi saw that he looked unhappy, so they asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Zhe shook his head and said, "It's a tricky matter. I'll go back to my parents' place tonight."
Jiang Yu had a bad impression of Jiang Zhe's father and was a little worried that he would be wronged when he returned, so she said, "I'll go back with you?"
"No, I can go back by myself."
Jiang Yu was a little worried and said, "If you feel wronged, tell me and I might beat you up."
Jiang Zhe smiled at her, touched her head, and said, "Okay."
Not long after Jiang Zhe left, Jiang Yu received a call from an unfamiliar number. She answered it hesitantly, and then found that it was Wei Cheng. After knowing that Jiang Zhe had gone to his parents' home, he said to Jiang Yu: "Something went wrong with the Lin family's project. Jiang Zhe went back, and it is estimated that he will be asked to help. Jiang Zhe always feels that he is not worthy of his sister, so sister-in-law, you should persuade him and don't let him do anything stupid."
Jiang Yu thought that since Wei Cheng called in person, something must have happened to the Lin family, so she asked about the situation: "Is the situation in their family serious?"
"A little bit. If Jiang Zhe helps, I'm afraid he will contribute both money and effort, and it won't be a small amount of money."
If it was just a small amount of money, Wei Cheng would not have come to remind her specially. Jiang Yu felt that perhaps the matter might be even more serious than she imagined.
But Jiang Zhe should manage his own money. Jiang Yu thinks she shouldn't interfere. Although they are husband and wife, Jiang Zhe's money is earned by his own hard work. It is up to him to decide how to manage it. Besides, they are relatives after all. If she really doesn't help, she is worried that Jiang Zhe will feel guilty in the future. How can such family matters be explained clearly?
So, in the evening, she asked him if he had been wronged when he returned home. After Jiang Zhe denied it, she patted his head and said, "Remember to tell me if you have been wronged," and did not ask any more questions.
Going home was like a feast for Jiang Zhe. Even though he had returned home, he could not forget the harsh tone of his father threatening him. Jiang Zhe felt very cold. He was reluctant to tell Jiang Yu about these bad things. He just hugged her, got warmth from her, and whispered to her: "Don't worry, I can handle it myself."
Jiang Yu was left for him to resolve.
Half a month later, one night, the Jiang family called and said that something happened at the Lin family and the old man was too excited and was admitted to the hospital.
When Jiang Yu and the others arrived at the ward, the old man had already woken up. When he saw them, he immediately scolded Jiang Zhe: "What are you doing here, you wicked thing, she is your biological sister, you can obviously help her, but you don't help them, why did I give birth to such an ungrateful son like you, from now on, you should just pretend that I don't exist as your father, and we will sever the father-son relationship."
Jiang Zhe said nothing, holding Jiang Yu's hand, with an expression that was unclear, "Let's go."
The hospital corridor was very quiet, with people passing by occasionally. Jiang Yu followed Jiang Zhe and saw that he didn't look very happy, so she asked, "Are you okay?"
Jiang Zhe: "Not bad."
"Your dad really wants to follow you..."
"have no idea."
"Because of your sister?"
"Well, they threatened to sever our father-son relationship before, but I ignored them."
Jiang Yu guessed that it was probably on that day that she asked him in surprise, "I thought you would help them."
After all, they are family.
His father still threatens him like this.
She thought he would compromise.
Moreover, the accident didn’t happen so early in the hero’s family in the book, so she later analyzed that it might not be the first time that Jiang Zhe helped the hero’s family in the novel.
Jiang Yu felt that she was powerless and her words carried no weight, and she estimated that she could not persuade them. Since she could not persuade them, she would just give up.
Jiang Zhe was in a bad mood. After hearing what Jiang Yu said, he glanced at her and said, "Originally, this was the plan."
After all, he had always chosen to be tolerant and make compensation over the years.
"Then why did you change your mind?" Jiang Yu wondered.
Jiang Zhe smiled and said, "You told me to spend money wisely. There will be many more places for children to spend money in the future."
But she felt so regretful just because of tens of thousands of dollars. Jiang Siyu and the others were bottomless pits. They would only ask him for things and would not be grateful to him at all. If he helped them once, there would be a next time, and the next time. If he really took so much money to help them, he was thinking, Jiang Yu might not say it on her face, but would she really not mind in her heart?
Before, he didn't care, but now he has people he wants to protect. The people he wants to give the things he has are them, the people he wants to give the best things he can.
