I'm sorry, just by seeing Jiang Qingyuan's sighing expression, I can imagine Mrs. Jiang's disappointment.
"That day, I'm really sorry."
Jiang Qingyuan pouted, "I'm fine, it's just my mom and my brother..."
He came over and leaned next to me, looking at me very seriously, and asked, "I don't understand. That day, in the store, I asked you to stay, why did you run away?"
I chuckled and pretended to be silly. How could I answer him? This question is a long story, too complicated.
Jiang Qingyuan continued, "You don't know, my brother was acting strange when he came back that day. I've never seen him like that before. He's usually so calm and sees through everything! I don't know what happened, but he came back in a bad mood."
I was taken aback. He was naturally referring to the night Zhou Heng returned from my place. I just didn't know that Zhou Heng would be upset. But he didn't show it at all!
I asked hesitantly, "Your, your brother, did he say anything?"
He shrugged helplessly and pouted, "My mom asked him why he came back alone, where were you? His face looked really bad, didn't say a word, and just went into the house. That's why I found it strange. My brother has always had a good temper, rarely gets angry."
I feel a little guilty in my heart, not knowing how to respond. Jiang Qingyuan suddenly said, "Miss, let me tell you, my brother has never been in love, so in matters of the heart, he's like a blank sheet of paper, he doesn't understand anything." He said it as if he had a lot of experience himself, and I looked at him with a smile. He seemed a little embarrassed and sat up straight.
"You, don't look at me like that. I, I'm just speaking the truth."
I nodded, indicating for him to continue.
He furrowed his brow, somewhat awkwardly tossed his hair, and then touched his ear.
"I, I have also had a few secret crushes, been confessed to a few times, and had one relationship. So, I, I understand it quite well."
His words made me burst into laughter, which infuriated him. He grabbed my arm and said, "What's so funny? What's there to laugh about?"
I finally managed to stop laughing and forced myself not to laugh anymore.
"Okay! You are very experienced."
Jiang Qingyuan felt very embarrassed. He sighed and said unhappily, "With you looking like this, can we still have a friendly conversation?"
I coughed and leaned back on the sofa with a rabbit pillow, trying to calm myself down.
When she saw that I was completely not smiling, Jiang Qingyuan finally relaxed her frown.
"Anyway, this time, you must come and stay at my house for a while, until your injury is healed."
"What do you mean?"
"My mom's idea."
"?"
I was completely stunned, staring at him like a wooden chicken, and it took a long time for me to spit out a few words: "Can you not go?"
Jiang Qingyuan was very resolute: "No."
Me: "......."
Jiang Qingyuan had already gotten up to go to the bathroom to tidy up my toothbrush and towel. As he tidied up, he said, "My mom is already downstairs. She heard about your injury and is very worried. She also heard that you live alone and is very uneasy. Originally, she wanted to come and take care of you every day, but she felt it was inappropriate, so she came up with this compromise."
This is absolutely unacceptable, I refuse.
Jiang Qingyuan packed up his toiletries and came out, asking me, "Where are your clean clothes?"
I hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Stop. I'll take care of this myself."
Jiang Qingyuan chuckled triumphantly, "Miss, you've basically agreed."
I suddenly realized that I had been trapped. Originally, I hadn't agreed, but with that sentence, I completely trapped myself. Now I have no way to argue and feel extremely regretful.
What does it mean for me to stay at Zhou Heng's house?
But then I think, people from Mrs. Jiang's family come to take care of her every day, which is also very troublesome.
I supported my forehead, feeling very conflicted inside.
Jiang Qingyuan directly put the things he had just bought together and said, "Everything is ready, just missing you, Miss."
Haha, this little brat, he even used this move. The things he bought just now were clearly not meant to be delivered to my house, but were bought for use at their house.
I was fooled. I feel like I fell into a pit, and it's a really deep one.
"Oh, it's okay if you didn't bring a change of clothes. My mom has plenty of money, we can just buy some."
"No need."
I was startled and stood up from the sofa, my ankle was shaken again, although not as painful as the previous days, it still made me break out in a cold sweat. At this rate, my poor foot, when will you fully recover?
I limped into the bedroom and sat down on the edge of the bed, feeling discouraged. How did I become so passive?
At this moment, my phone rang, showing the number of Rongcheng.
After the call connected, a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiao Meng. It's me, Wang Ze."
I was stunned, unable to react. He had quite the nerve. I had already torn off all pretenses, and yet he still called.
I said irritably, "Mr. Wang, are you very bored?"
Wang Ze: "I'm still worried about your injury, so I wanted to come and see you, but I'm afraid you'll get angry."
Me: "I really appreciate it, thank you very much. But you don't need to come."
Wang Ze persisted, expressing concern: "I'll be at the entrance of your building soon. I know you're home alone and haven't had a proper meal, so I bought your favorite spicy chicken skewers and some snacks."
I was dumbfounded, my hand holding the phone slowly sliding down until I finally hung up the call. Mount Liang How were the heroes forced onto Liangshan? Just like me now, how am I being forced to leave soon. I quickly got up and hastily packed a few changes of clothes. I went out and grabbed Jiang Qingyuan's arm, shouting, "Let's go, right now."
Jiang Qingyuan looked at me in surprise and asked, "You agreed."
As I put on my shoes, I replied, "Anyway, I would starve at home, so I might as well let you guys do a good deed."
Jiang Qingyuan: "That's the spirit."
Put on your shoes and lock the door immediately. Jiang Qingyuan held onto my arm and we went downstairs. From a distance, I saw Mrs. Jiang waving at us. Jiang Qingyuan proudly said, "It seems that as long as I personally take action, there's nothing that can't be resolved."
In my heart, I thought: If it weren't for Wang Ze pushing me, I wouldn't have agreed.
Forget it, let's just avoid Wang Ze. He's gone completely crazy now, not knowing what he's doing at all.
Mrs. Jiang greeted me warmly and helped me into the car. She asked with concern, "Is your foot feeling better? You must not have had lunch by yourself. Luckily, everything is ready at home."
I was taken aback, she was clearly well-prepared.
I smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm really causing you trouble."
Mrs. Jiang was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling and kept saying, "No trouble at all, no trouble at all."
Jiang Qingyuan was walking behind, carrying a bunch of stuff, and shouting, "Mom, can you care about me for once?"
Mrs. Jiang turned around and glared at him, "Are you injured?"
Jiang Qingyuan rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "I told you, I have the lowest status in our family. You favor my brother, and now you favor my sister-in-law even more."
Sister-in-law - These two words directly stunned me, I maintained my smile, and for a while, I didn't react. Jiang Qingyuan - This kid, as soon as he speaks, really scares people half to death.
I awkwardly chuckled, and Mrs. Jiang tapped him on the head, "You're so clueless, go sit in the back and don't block Miss Ling."
Jiang Qingyuan innocently widened his eyes and pouted, "Mom, what did I do wrong again?"
I covered my mouth, forced back a smile, and watched this pair of lively and funny mother and son, forgetting all the troubles. Zhou Heng, oh Zhou Heng, with such family members, why do you still have a heavy heart?
