Chapter 151 Brother-sister relationship, I pick up food for her to eat, this is not appropriate
At dinner time, Li Zhinan came downstairs, and Cheng Yan immediately greeted him with a smile: "Zhinan, are you working? You seem to have lost some weight recently. Are you too tired from work?"
Li Zhinan saw Cheng Yan coming to the Li family again. At this moment, her concern became a pressure for Li Zhinan.
He said calmly, "It's not that I'm too busy with work. It's because I got divorced suddenly and I haven't adapted yet. I've been in a bad mood recently, so I lost a few pounds."
Li Zhinan has discovered that his family and the Cheng family want to get him and Cheng Yan together.
He was resistant in his heart. He had always treated Cheng Yan as both a friend and a sister, and he had never thought of getting together with Cheng Yan.
Before he got divorced, there was indeed a period of time when he deliberately did some ambiguous things with Cheng Yan in order to anger Cheng Qian. However, the purpose of those things was to anger Cheng Qian, and it did not mean that he really liked Cheng Yan. She just happened to be the opposite sex with whom he had frequent contact. Even if Cheng Yan was not around, he would find another woman to torture Cheng Qian emotionally.
When Cheng Yan heard Li Zhinan's reply, her eyes froze and a surge of resentment welled up in her heart.
She was now a little confused about what Li Zhinan was thinking. Could it be that her previous feelings were wrong?
No, Li Zhinan's feelings for her must be different, otherwise, he would not be willing to discuss everything with her and let her know in advance. He even donated an experimental building to his alma mater for her. Not to mention, she was the only woman he took to watch car racing. When she wanted to study with Dr. Lan, he used his connections to get her a list without saying a word.
Cheng Yan didn't believe that Li Zhinan did so much for her just to repay his kindness.
"Zhi Nan, have you been having trouble eating and sleeping recently because of your divorce? Do you want me to find you some medicine to calm your nerves and help you sleep?" Cheng Yan asked gently and concernedly.
Li Zhinan said calmly, "No need. Taking medicine is stressful. I'd better adjust myself."
Cheng Yan nodded: "Okay, if you need any help, you can come to me."
"Thank you, but I don't need it at the moment." Li Zhinan said, then sat down at the dining table.
Jiang Meng came over and arranged for Cheng Yan to sit next to him, then said to Li Zhinan: "Xiao Yan likes to eat fish, you quickly pick up a piece of fish for her."
When Li Zhinan heard this, he was inexplicably unhappy: "Mom, she and I are just siblings. It's inappropriate for me to pick up food for her to eat."
Cheng Yan's face darkened. These words were like a knife stabbing into her heart, causing her dull pain.
"What brother-sister relationship? How can adults have a brother-sister relationship?" Jiang Meng said unhappily, "Isn't Xiaoyan better than Cheng Qian? She is talented, beautiful, educated, and capable. She can be a good wife at home, and in your career, she can help you charge forward and be your right-hand man. I really don't know what you are thinking."
"Aunt Jiang, stop talking. I'm not that good." Cheng Yan blushed modestly and twisted her fingers nervously and shamefully.
"Zhi Nan, let me make this clear. I don't care about your divorce from Cheng Qian. You can give her as much as you want. It's your property. But Xiaoyan is currently my favorite candidate for daughter-in-law. Apart from her, no other woman will pass my test." Jiang Meng knew that her son had a stubborn personality. If she didn't make things clear, he would like to be ambiguous and make people angry.
Seeing that his mother was no longer hiding her thoughts and directly expressed her thoughts, Li Zhinan put his chopsticks on the table and said, "I'm full. You guys can eat slowly."
"Zhi Nan, come back. Did you hear what I just said?" Jiang Meng didn't expect that his 29-year-old eldest son, who had not been rebellious in junior high and high school and had been well-behaved in college, would be rebellious now.
Li Zhinan ignored her shouting, picked up the suit on the sofa, put it on the back of his hand, and strode out of the guest room. After a while, the horn of his car rang.
Cheng Yan was already sitting in the chair in a daze. In an instant, she lost all her appetite.
Did Li Zhinan's action directly deny her?
"Aunt Jiang, I..." Cheng Yan burst into tears before she could say a word. She covered her face with her hands, feeling very sad.
The old lady next to him frowned: "Zhi Nan is becoming more and more immature as he grows older. Is he still thinking about remarrying Cheng Qian?"
"Impossible." Jiang Meng immediately slammed the table: "Since Cheng Qian and I have already torn our faces, it is absolutely impossible for us to be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law again. Neither she nor I can go back to the harmonious relationship we had in the past."
Cheng Yan looked up at Jiang Meng, her heart trembling. Jiang Meng liked her now only because she knew that she and Cheng Qian had a falling out and could never reconcile.
Cheng Yan began to feel hatred in her heart. After all, no one really wished her and Li Zhinan to be together. They were all treating her like a commodity and evaluating her value.
Unfortunately, she was not very competitive. When they divorced before, she would naturally be the one chosen firmly.
Now, Li Zhinan has always emphasized that they are brother and sister, and has never considered divorcing his wife to marry her. She has become a complete joke.
"Aunt Jiang, I'm done eating too. I'll be leaving first." Cheng Yan put down her chopsticks and whispered, "Grandma, take your time."
Jiang Meng knew that Cheng Yan was injured, so she quickly sent her to the car and comforted her: "Xiao Yan, don't be anxious. Zhinan is very stubborn. If you wait a little longer, he will definitely find that you are more suitable to be his wife than Cheng Qian."
"Aunt Jiang, you have always recognized me, but I have no confidence anymore. Zhinan's attitude towards me is even colder than before. Maybe I am really too confident. Maybe he has never liked me." Cheng Yan said sadly.
"What's the point of liking or not? There is no such thing as true love in this world. Look at him and Cheng Qian, didn't they get married without any emotional basis? Four years after their marriage, Zhinan seems to have developed some feelings for her. In my opinion, no matter whether it's you or Cheng Qian, as long as they can marry him, he will have feelings for her." Jiang Meng was very confident, and she must make Cheng Yan her daughter-in-law, so that she could control her more easily.
"Thank you, Aunt Jiang. You've given me so much hope. I won't be discouraged. I'll patiently wait for him to marry me." Cheng Yan was now resolute in her thoughts. Even if Li Zhinan didn't love her, so what? Her greatest wish was to become Mrs. Li.
Li Zhinan was driving around the city aimlessly. The driver asked him several times if he wanted to go back to the villa, but Li Zhinan said no.
Finally, Li Zhinan said, "Let's go to Zhangjiang Mansion."
When the driver heard this, he wanted to laugh for some reason. It seemed like the boss was going to get back together with his wife.
After the divorce, he became even more attached to his ex-wife.
Li Zhinan still asked the driver to buy a lot of gift fruits, as well as a gift for Xiao Ye, and then went upstairs and knocked on the door.
Cheng Qian opened the door and saw him, her pretty face sank: "Why are you here again?"
