Chapter 63 Can I see the jade pendant?
Ji Heng, who I always thought was not present at the dinner, was actually hiding here making a phone call.
The person who called was Ji Heng's mother.
After accidentally hearing the content of the phone call, Chu Yunshu immediately turned around and walked away for a distance.
Ji Heng followed the figure that was walking away quickly until he saw that person stopped by the fountain not far away and showed no intention of leaving. He then retracted his gaze and spoke lazily.
"I didn't send them away."
He knew that Leng Xiaoxiao and Leng Weixi had moved into Xiyuan. It didn't matter. Ji Heng wouldn't mind where they lived.
He didn't even think about touching them.
People and things he doesn't care about will never take up his energy and time.
If Leng Ruying hadn't called him, he wouldn't have known that the two children had been sent back.
Leng Ruying has never liked Ji Heng, even though he is now so outstanding that his advertisements can be seen on big screens on the streets abroad.
Not only because she couldn't be with her lover when she was pregnant with Ji Heng, but also because Ji Heng's attitude towards her was always cold and businesslike.
No matter what their relationship is like, she is still Ji Heng's mother. It was she who went through ten months of hardship to give birth to him.
In Leng Ruying's heart, Ji Heng should be grateful to her just for this reason. Without her, Ji Heng would not even have the chance to be born.
But Ji Heng's attitude towards her is even worse than that of a stranger.
Even if she was furious on the other end of the phone, Ji Heng would not show any emotion.
Every time Leng Ruying talked to him on the phone, she felt like she was punching cotton.
So Ji Heng is 28 years old this year, but the number of phone calls between mother and son has not exceeded 5 times.
This time I had no choice.
If Ji Heng doesn't give in, the old man and Ji Chen will never tolerate Leng Xiwei and Leng Xiaoxiao.
Just after she asked Ji Rukong to help place the two children in Xiyuan, the old man sent them back.
If we want to make the two children settle down in the country, only Ji Heng can do it.
"Ji Heng, you have everything you need, so why can't you tolerate these two children? If they follow me, they will suffer in a foreign country."
Leng Ruying wanted to play the emotional card, but she touched Ji Heng's sore spot with her first sentence.
Missing nothing?
Yes, he is 28 years old now and really doesn't need his parents' love anymore.
Seeing that Ji Heng didn't say anything, Leng Ruying said again: "They are related to you by blood, they are your brothers and sisters, you can't treat them like this."
Ji Heng recalled that when he was thirteen years old, Ji Rukong's son, who was related to them by blood, almost took his and Ji Chen's lives.
"I have brothers and sisters, but not them." Ji Heng said calmly, "If you think that having them abroad will hinder your relationship, you can just send them somewhere else. Grandpa and brother will never let them stay in Nancheng."
In fact, what Ji Chen told the old man about the reason why Leng Ruying wanted to send the two children back to China was only a small part.
The truth is, Leng Ruying had a new boyfriend who didn't like her two children, so she wanted to send them away.
"How can you be so cold-blooded? They are my children too. You can stay in South City and enjoy the best life. Why can't they?"
Leng Ruying rarely speaks calmly to the end in front of Ji Heng.
As expected, she became furious: "I don't care, I'm going to send them back anyway. If you can't tolerate them, throw them out. Anyway, don't send them back to me!"
Ji Heng had long known about her extreme willfulness, but at this moment he was still shocked by her extremely selfish behavior.
A mother can say such words... Thinking about the consequences of his kidnapping that year, Ji Heng didn't find it strange. It wouldn't be strange if it was Leng Ruying.
"Isn't he fine? That pervert is dead too. What else do you want? Are you going to force me to death?"
"What kind of mental problem? I think he did it on purpose for you to see, so that you can blame me. But what did I do wrong? It's not me who asked that pervert to kidnap him."
"Didn't they assign him bodyguards? Who knew those bodyguards were so useless? He's useless too. He's already eleven years old, and his ability to withstand stress is still so weak!"
In Leng Ruying's worldview, everything she does is justified and she can never be wrong.
The man whom she kept calling a "pervert" was her extramarital lover, for whom she said not long ago that she loved him so much that she could give her life for him.
That was the first time the old man hit her, and also the last time.
Because after that time, the old man never saw her again. No matter how she cried, her affairs were handled by the old man's three sons, Leng Ruying's three brothers.
"It's up to you. Where you send them is none of my business. I won't interfere."
After eight years, I finally received a call from this woman, but it was worse than not receiving it at all.
Ji Heng hung up the phone and looked up. The full moon was still bright, and the peach branch that had extended out and was already past its flowering period was shrouded in a layer of faint moonlight.
Putting away his phone, Ji Heng walked out of the pavilion.
Chu Yunshu stood by the fountain pool, the water changing colors under the light.
The young man was tall and slender, with gentle and handsome eyes and brows. He stared intently at the lotus swaying in the wind.
The sound of the fountain was too loud, and Chu Yunshu did not notice the approaching footsteps. It was not until Ji Heng stood beside him and the faint mint scent lingered at his nose that he turned his head to look.
They had met several times, but this was the first time he had seen the man clearly from such a close distance.
Sharp brows, dark eyes, and a sense of aloofness that makes him intimidating without even getting angry.
Because Ji Heng was much taller than him, Chu Yunshu could just see the very light-colored mole on the man's earlobe, which looked like a small and delicate earring, adding a bit of cuteness to his cold aura.
"Waiting for me?" Ji Heng lowered his eyes slightly and his gaze fell on Chu Yunshu's small nose.
"Yes." Chu Yunshu answered straightforwardly. When he was staring at Fuqiu in a daze just now, he thought of many reasons to wait for Ji Heng, but he rejected every one of them.
Finally he decided to tell the truth: "I saw the trending searches about you going to the temple."
There are not many opportunities to meet Ji Heng, and the audition result of "The Imperial Cause" has never come out. If I fail, this might be a rare opportunity to meet Ji Heng.
There's no time to give him time.
He raised his eyes and looked straight into Ji Heng's eyes. His eyes were filled with moonlight, falling into the mysterious deep pool, causing stars to ripple inside.
Ji Heng frowned slightly.
"I see you have a jade pendant in your hand. Can I see it again?"
This request was a bit rude. Chu Yunshu bent his fingers hanging by his side, pursed his lips into a line, and looked away first: "Sorry, I..."
"That jade pendant," he suddenly heard Ji Heng say, "I didn't bring it with me. I'll show it to you next time."
The sound was like the wind blowing through the pine forest. Chu Yunshu suddenly realized what was going on and blurted out, "When is the next time?"
Although he was asking for help, he still pressed on. Ji Heng's eyebrows softened: "During the script reading of "The Imperial Cause"."
