Otherwise, she wouldn't look for her for no reason, let alone have afternoon tea with her. The so-called afternoon tea with her was just to find a quiet, closed space and talk to her about something.
Ke Yi thought that the matter that her grandmother had gone to such great lengths to find a place to talk to her must be something very important. However, her thoughts were limited to her grandmother's advice on marriage, some conversations about her and Ji Junlin's future life, and at most some division of her property to be used as a dowry for her.
However, what she could never have imagined was that her grandmother wanted her to cancel her engagement with Ji Junlin.
This was outrageous. And there was no sign of this. Because just yesterday when she and Ji Junlin went to her grandmother's house, her grandmother was full of expectations and blessings for her and Ji Junlin's future.
In fact, as early as the very beginning, when she met Tang Miao, all these things had already unfolded slowly invisibly.
But at this moment, Ke Yi had no time to think about Tang Miao or these things. She was immersed in the shock and disbelief of her grandmother telling her to cancel her engagement with Ji Junlin. She first looked at her grandmother with uncertainty, and when she saw the seriousness in her grandmother's expression, she was sure that her grandmother was not joking with her. At the same time, all the emotions that had arisen in Ke Yi's heart about what had happened in the past few days were triggered.
"Why?" Ke Yi put down the snack in her hand. The snack, which was a little sweet just now, turned bitter and astringent on the tip of her tongue. She looked at her grandmother. When her emotions were full and about to explode, the tone of her voice was surprisingly calm.
The old lady knew she would ask this, and since she called her out and made this decision, she would naturally make things clear to her.
"Junlin blocked Tang Miao in the tea room and said something to her."
"I just went to get some water and the door was not closed. I heard everything they said."
The old lady told Ke Yi what happened this afternoon. Ke Yi was not shocked by this incident. She knew that Ji Junlin would go to Tang Miao, but she didn't know that Ji Junlin's visit to Tang Miao would be seen by her grandmother and their conversation would be heard by her grandmother.
If grandma heard or saw it, she would definitely know the relationship between Tang Miao and Ji Junlin.
In a family, it is somewhat ambiguous that the lovers of a pair of siblings were once lovers of each other. Moreover, Ji Junlin and Tang Miao are not ordinary lovers. They have been together for ten years. They have indelible impressions and memories of each other.
No family would allow their children to have lovers who were once lovers of each other, because this would be somewhat confusing and even somewhat unethical.
And if this is the case, then one couple is bound to be separated.
After listening to her grandmother's words and figuring it all out, Ke Yi shook her head. Her eyes were somewhat blank, her brows slightly furrowed, and she looked at her grandmother opposite her. She wanted to say something, perhaps to save the situation, or to explain, or to persuade, but in the end she could not say anything and just shook her head.
Grandma said this. Ke Yi heard her words and saw that her lower eyelids trembled.
The old lady is a kind old lady. No matter who says it, everyone will envy her for having such a grandmother who dotes on her, tolerates her, and always treats her like a child.
But at the same time, the old lady's doting is not unprincipled doting. She has her own rules and limits. Within her rules and limits, you can do whatever you want. But if you go beyond the rules and limits, the old lady also has the dignity and principles that an elder should have.
No one can change what she decides.
Now, the old lady asked her to cancel her engagement with Ji Junlin, which was basically a done deal. Next, the old lady would notify her parents, and her parents would cancel the engagement party that she had prepared and looked forward to for a long time, just as the old lady asked.
This feeling is very strange. It's not like the upper or lower part of you is taken away, but half of you is taken away, so your original soul becomes lighter and fainter, and the whole thing seems to be illusory.
She didn't know whether she existed or not, or whether what was happening now was real.
But after her grandmother made the decision, she continued to struggle in vain like a child.
"It can't be me and Ji Junlin," Ke Yi said.
"Why not He Xiao and Tang Miao?" Ke Yi said, "Why does it have to be us and not them? You can't treat me like this."
After Ke Yi finished speaking, she seemed to regain some of her spirit. The pain overwhelmed her for a moment, and she looked at her grandmother with red eyes, as if grasping at a floating duckweed.
She felt that it was not necessary for her and Ji Junlin to separate.
Can't He Xiao and Tang Miao separate?
"They are already married." After Ke Yi finished speaking, her grandmother said this.
After grandma finished speaking, Ke Yi's slightly open jaw trembled.
The old lady asked Ke Yi and Ji Junlin to separate. This choice was not based on who she favored or liked more, but on the development of the current situation.
Ke Yi and Ji Junlin were not yet engaged, while Tang Miao and He Xiao were already legally married. If one of the siblings had to break up, it would naturally be Ke Yi, who was not yet engaged.
Of course, this is just one of the reasons. It is based on rationality.
From an emotional point of view, the old lady listened to all the conversations between Ji Junlin and Tang Miao in the tea room. Among the two pairs of her grandchildren, Tang Miao was the most affectionate towards He Xiao, and they had a deep affection and could continue to maintain their marriage.
But Ji Junlin and Ke Yi are different.
Ji Junlin doesn't love Ke Yi at all.
The reason why he chose Ke Yi was from a realistic perspective. He wanted to develop his career and benefit in life, so he gave up his lover and chose Ke Yi.
Perhaps there are many people like Ji Junlin in the circle, men who chose a rich lady and gave up their feelings for the sake of their career and life.
For an old lady, such a man is especially desirable.
But Ji Junlin can't do that.
Ji Junlin did not seem to have made a firm decision to abandon his emotional life. He was still wavering between his emotions and his life. This state would not only hurt Ke Yi's love, but would also likely destroy the relationship between Tang Miao and He Xiao.
Therefore, even if Ke Yi and Ji Junlin are already married, the old lady might still choose to let Ke Yi and Ji Junlin divorce.
Of course, if He Xiao and Tang Miao were not married, and Ke Yi and Ji Junlin were already married, the old lady might persuade He Xiao and Tang Miao to break up, because breaking up is simpler than divorce after all.
But the current situation is just the opposite, which means that Ke Yi and Ji Junlin are not only at a disadvantage in terms of relationship, but also in terms of emotional instability.
The old lady would naturally choose He Xiao and Tang Miao.
When the old lady explained the reason for her choice, she only told Ke Yi one reason, not the other. It was sad enough that Ke Yi broke up with Ji Junlin. She couldn't bear to tell Ke Yi some words that Ji Junlin said that he didn't love her, which she heard at the door of the tea room.
Parents always don't want their children to get hurt, even if their children may resent them for their rationality and ruthlessness.
But family members are always family members. Even if Ke Yi resents her for choosing He Xiao instead of her, after many years, when the past is gone, she will figure it out and understand why she did that.
At that time, she might have started a new relationship, or she might have a more thorough understanding of relationships, and she would no longer care about whether Ji Junlin loved her or not.
This is the least harmful way to hurt her.
It is also the most reasonable way to solve the current situation.
Before Ji Junlin opened his mouth to speak, Ke Yi stared at him and asked him this question.
"I'll talk to your dad."
Ke Yi could think of it, but she couldn't figure it out, and she couldn't get out of it. She was in pain and at a loss. Even if Ji Junlin didn't love her, she did love him.
"We can't get rid of it at all," said Ji Junlin.
After he finished speaking, Ke Yi's eyes moved and she looked at him intently.
"you……"
After she answered, she just stood there. She was no longer angry, but only had endless pain, and confusion and misunderstanding.
But grandma heard it. After hearing their conversation, she was very determined to let her break up with Ji Junlin. With such a firm decision, grandma must have heard something.
So when he asked Ke Yi this question and Ke Yi said that her grandmother asked her to cancel her engagement with him, Ji Junlin didn't react for a while.
These new and old grudges are bound to break out.
When Ke Yi came to see him just now, she asked him about his going out in the afternoon. He didn't explain, but judging from Ke Yi's behavior, she should know that he went to see Tang Miao.
"Also, don't tell He Xiao."
But Tang Miao was right. Before the engagement party, she had to meet Ji Junlin and let him know Tang Miao's current identity. Because if the two of them met at the engagement party, Ke Yi herself could not guarantee that Ji Junlin might do something irrational and ruin the engagement party she had been preparing for a long time.
After being interrupted by Ke Yi, Ji Junlin carefully observed Ke Yi's mood and expression. Before she left his office, she was not in a good mood, but she was just depressed.
Ke Yi stayed in the teahouse for a short time.
Ji Junlin did not answer Ke Yi's question. He looked at Ke Yi standing there and asked, "What happened?"
Even if Ji Junlin chose her because he had a better life, she didn't care. This was something she had naturally, and this was her advantage as a partner, just like a beautiful woman was born with beauty, which made it easier for people to like her. She was born with a family background, which would make men choose her. And she also chose the men she loved from these men.
After arriving at the company, Ke Yi entered the elevator and swiped the elevator card for the floor where their department was located. After entering the department, Ke Yi went straight to Ji Junlin's office with a grimace.
It's like poison.
The distance between the teahouse and the company was not very far. But after the car drove out of the teahouse parking lot, the view suddenly became wider and the sunlight outside seemed to become more dazzling.
So she took Ji Junlin with her and asked him to see Tang Miao and He Xiao, to see how happy Tang Miao's life was now, and to let him not waver and completely give up on the past.
Tang Miao did exactly as she said.
The office door was pushed open and then closed forcefully. Ji Junlin, who was reading a document, raised his head and looked at Ke Yi, whose face turned pale, and frowned slightly.
-
Ke Yi had just been to his office. She received a phone call. Although Ji Junlin did not hear the content of the call, he knew that it was from his grandmother. Ke Yi went out and saw her grandmother. When she came back, she was completely changed. So something must have happened between her and her grandmother.
At this time, Ji Junlin didn't think much about anything else.
After he met Tang Miao, his balance began to tilt, and he seemed to be more inclined towards his past life.
Ke Yi didn't know what he and Tang Miao talked about.
After leaning back to his past life, he even took time out this afternoon to look for Tang Miao after hearing that He Xiao was not at the chess and card table yesterday.
"She planned this from the beginning."
After he betrayed his feelings and chose his future, when he was about to get a bright future, he betrayed his future again and wanted to go back to choose his love again.
After chatting with her, the old lady stayed with her in the box for a while. After a while, Ke Yi got up and left, saying that she was leaving. Seeing that she was not in a good mental state, the old lady asked her driver to take her away.
Because Ji Junlin doesn't seem to want a future anymore.
Ji Junlin thought that was all.
At first, it's wrapped in a sweet sugar coating, which is happy and uplifting.
She shouldn't have been able to touch this pill in the first place.
Ke Yi lived with Ji Junlin and could sense Ji Junlin's wavering. So when Tang Miao said that she hoped the three of them would keep the past secret and forget about it, she also agreed with Tang Miao's approach.
The driver took Ke Yi to the car and asked her where she was going. Ke Yi sat in the back seat, staring out the window in a daze, and said, "To the company."
The dazzling sunlight seemed to slowly revive Ke Yi's soul. The driver drove the car to the downstairs of the company's group building. Ke Yi opened the door and got out, going directly to the floor where her department was located.
Ji Junlin was about to say something but was interrupted by Ke Yi.
"Don't worry about other things. Just inform your relatives and friends."
Ji Junlin wanted a future and she wanted love. They each got what they needed and they both obtained the happiness they wanted.
But Ji Junlin is not like that.
At that time, Ke Yi wanted to vent her anger, but she was interrupted by her grandmother's phone call. The interruption did not mean that her resentment had dissipated. The resentment that had not dissipated, coupled with the fact that she did not know what happened when she met her grandmother,
After hearing what Ke Yi said, the driver responded lightly and drove her away.
"Why did you go to find Tang Miao?"
Ke Yi did not get angry. What she said just now, that her grandmother asked her to cancel their engagement, was as simple as answering his question.
When Ke Yi looked at him, Ji Junlin raised his head again. He looked at Ke Yi and said.
After the old lady finished speaking, Ke Yi looked at her and said nothing more. She didn't say anything more, but just arranged the follow-up matters.
Ji Junlin's eyes fell on the document in front of him. Under his eyelashes, his pupils were covered with a layer of shadow. He looked at the document on the table, and the words on the document were clearly and logically reflected in his eyes.
Ke Yi left in a hurry and returned to the company in a hurry.
For example, Ji Junlin regretted it, Ji Junlin didn't love her, etc.
In this matter, it seemed that she was the passive one from beginning to end.
After Ke Yi finished telling what happened, Ji Junlin looked at her and was silent for a long time. He was also surprised when Ke Yi was talking, but after the surprise was over, he withdrew his gaze.
"This was her plan from the beginning."
And now, her whole body exudes a feeling of being suppressed but unable to suppress it, as if she is looking for a point to explode.
The only time she took the initiative was when she first saw Ji Junlin, she pursued him madly, even though he had a girlfriend, she did not give up. She had superior conditions, and she was determined to get Ji Junlin. When she got him, she was also very proud and happy.
"Even if I don't go to her, she has other ways to cancel our engagement."
But now, their relationship has been severed.
After licking off the sugar coating, what is left is bitter pain and scars.
