"I'll go after him." No one could abandon their home without her permission. She, Fang Manli, could not.
Jin Jiyun grabbed her, his gaze as cold as a sword, "Let him go!"
Fang Manli didn't even think before shaking off his hand, her eyes sparkling. "I've already lost a son, I can't lose my grandson again!"
Jin Jiyun stared blankly, but in the end, he did not say anything.
He slammed his fist against the wall, and a trace of sadness flashed across his serious face.
"Father, it's impossible for Yue Ru and I to separate. If you force me to choose between her and the Jin family …"
"Then I choose her."
"From now on, I am no longer your son, I am no longer a member of the Jin family, so you don't have to feel ashamed."
The scene from that year was still vivid in his mind, how could he possibly forget it?
He was willing to give up everything for a woman, his glory, his wealth, his family, and his surname.
Now, his grandson was going to break off all relations with him because of a woman.
As expected of a father and son, their tempers and personalities were exactly the same.
But, Ah Chen, you know that no matter what you do, you can't be with that woman.
Fang Manli blocked Jin Fen's path, and with a serious face, she said in a voice so cold that it made people feel uncomfortable, "Where are you going?"
Jin Fanchen's face didn't show any expression, and his eyes were as cool as the moon.
"You don't even want your home, is it because of that woman?" Her eyes burned with a touch of sadness.
Jin Xu Chen didn't say anything, he didn't know what to say.
"There are so many women in the world, why do you say that?" Fang Manli sighed with a helpless voice. "Forget about her. You'll meet a better woman in the future."
Jin Xu's thin lips moved, and a clear and cold voice came out from his mouth, "There are many women in this world, but she's probably the only one that can enter my heart."
"I've already said that my life isn't something that anyone can control. Since you can't tolerate her, then I'll take my leave. I'm sorry." Jin Xu Chen bowed to her seriously, then started to walk away.
"It's not that we can't tolerate her, it's because the heavens can't tolerate you!" Fang Manli's voice, which had become a lot louder, came from behind him.
"Didn't you always want to know the reason why we don't accept Qin Chuxia? Let me tell you the reason." Fang Manli grabbed his arm and walked into the house.
Jin Xu didn't say anything. He really did want to know.
Even if he died, he would die with clarity.
After that, she returned to Jin Jiyun's study. Jin Jiyun didn't know where he had gone to, and there were only the two of them in the empty study.
"Speak!" Jin Xu and Chen Qing said these two words coolly.
Fang Manli sighed and then put her hand into her desk and took out a key. The once shiny key was now covered with a thin layer of iron embroidery. She moved her finger and said lightly, "Come with me."
Jin Xu Chen didn't say anything behind him, but he could feel the sadness on her. He could clearly feel it from the moment he took out the key.
Exactly what could cause her to feel such deep sorrow? What did the things she wanted to tell her truly seemed like it?
He followed Fang Manli to the backyard, but he could not see the expression on her face in the darkness. Finally, after a while, they stopped in front of a small house.
He remembered coming here many years ago. It was a storage room.
Fang Manli put the key in the lock. There was a heavy click as he pushed open the door, and a musty smell rushed into his lungs.
The overhead lights came on and the room was lit up.
The room was not big. There were several watermarks on the white wall and a spider web hanging in the corner. There was a table in the middle of the room that was covered in dust.
The most eye-catching thing was the leather suitcase in the corner, which he saw at first glance.
It seemed that no one had been here for a long time.
If he had not been there once, he would not have imagined that there was such a house in the house.
Fang Manli closed the door and turned around to look at him, and after a long silence, she finally said, "Didn't you want to retrieve the memory you lost? Today, I'll help you find it."
Jin Fen's eyebrows twitched.
Fang Manli walked in front of that leather box, she waved the dust on the box with her hand and then put it on the table. Only then did Jin Xu notice that there was a password on the box, and he saw that Fang Manli turned a few numbers without hesitation, and with a kacha sound, the box opened.
Opening it, a thick smell of mold assaulted his nostrils.
Jin Xu and Chen Qing's cold expression finally moved a little. He saw a picture frame. It was a picture of the whole family.
He remembered that he had been twelve years old when he had taken the picture, that the boy in the middle had been a young man, that the father standing on the right had been dressed in formal attire, that the mother on the left had been well-dressed and young and pretty.
However, the three of them all had distant and cold faces. This was a blissful family that didn't have a smile on their faces.
He snorted, unable to make out his emotions.
A picture was imprinted in his pupils, and Jin's pupils shrank.
It was a single photo of a woman with a gentle, pretty face. A woman with a nice face.
"Have you seen this woman?" Fang Manli asked lightly.
Jin Xu answered honestly, "No."
"He's your father's woman out there." Fang Manli said lightly, her tone was more helpless than cold.
Jin Xu looked again, "Is that so?"
There was no hint of happiness or anger in his tone, as if he was an outsider reading someone else's story.
When he was young, he knew that his father had other women outside. If it wasn't for this woman, his father might have been able to see his mother more.
I thought that woman was a beautiful Heavenly Immortal, but it turns out she's only so-so.
"What about this girl? Do you have an impression of her?" Fang Manli opened an album and a picture of a beautiful girl appeared.
Jin Fen swept a glance, and then was startled.
The girl in the photo was about fifteen or sixteen. She was wearing a blue suit and a plaid skirt, her skin white and her features delicate. She had an Oxford dictionary on her chest and was smiling brightly, sweetly, with two small dimples on her cheeks.
The most eye-catching thing was her black hair. Although her forehead was covered by a thick layer of bangs, he still immediately associated her with someone.
The girl from his memories, the blurry figure …
Xia Xia?
Yes, it was her.
"Qin Chuxia?"
Fang Manli nodded, "Yes, but at that time, few people knew her name. He had an English name, Miki."
"Do you know who took this picture?" Fang Manli continued to ask.
"You took it." Before he could answer, she said, "You had a girlfriend when you were twenty. That's her."
Jin Xu's breath stopped. What? Xia Xia was once her girlfriend?
He had suspected that she and Qin Chuxia might have known each other before, but he didn't expect them to be lovers eight years ago!
Then, she and that woman just now …
A bad premonition arose in his heart.
"This woman is called Meng Yueru. She's your father's most beloved woman in this life." Fang Manli's expression was bitter as she decided to explain more.
Your father had known this woman since high school, and they had been in love for ten years. From high school to college, to the side of your father in society, there was always this woman. Unfortunately, in the end, she was still forced to separate by your grandfather.
Your mother fell in love with your father at first sight at a banquet, but the Jing Clan's assets were great, and your grandfather's grandmother doted on your mother, so when they found out about your mother's intentions, they came to ask about your father's situation. At that time, the Jin Clan was very powerful, but they were still a threat to the outside world.
"Meng Yueru went to the United States after being abandoned by your father. I had thought that this matter would just end like this."
At this point, Fang Manli smiled again, her face full of pain and helplessness.
Two years later, your father went to America to discuss business and met her again. The two of them who had deep feelings for each other met again, and by that time, your father was already married and had you. Meng Yueru was also married, but her feelings were deep.
"You also know your parents' marriage. Although they are husband and wife, they don't have a shred of feelings for each other, so the more they argue, the more intense their relationship became. This will be difficult for you."
"When you were four years old, Meng Yueru gave birth to another child for your father. This strengthened your father's determination to get a divorce. "But how could the family agree, after struggling for so many years, they still didn't succeed."
"In the end, your mother was exhausted. She chose to divorce your father, and by then you were almost twenty years old."
"Meng Yueru is also divorced, but they aren't in a hurry to announce the marriage certificate. They are very worried about how you and that child will feel." She let the child live at home as your father's friend and daughter. The purpose is for you to get along, and when your relationship is better, they will announce a remarriage. "
"That girl was born with a good set of skin. She was quite pretty at such a young age. "As for you, you're also a handsome university student. It's hard to avoid love between young men and women living under the same roof. You've actually developed a relationship between a man and a woman!"
"I don't know if it's because your job was too good or because your father was too careless, but he couldn't tell at all. Seeing that you guys got along well, they decided to get married."
"The girl knew you were his half-brother, and ran out crying. The two adults drove after you in a hurry, and that was the day they both died in a car accident."
"Your mother knew that your father couldn't stand the shock of his illness and went off with him not long after."
"Naturally, your relationship cannot be established. Your grandfather found a lot of medicine in order for you to wash off this unbearable memory, so this is the reason why you lost two years of your memories."
"That girl also lost those two years of memories. Later on, she followed her foster father back to the country, and you've never seen her again."
"That girl is Miki, also known as Qin Chuxia."
"Now do you know why you two can't be together? It's because you two are siblings, half-siblings."
Jin Ling Chen didn't remember what happened after that, and when he woke up, the sky was already bright.
He smelled of alcohol, and the album under the bed told him that what had happened last night was not a dream.
He took a deep breath, his eyes hazy.
Cold water poured down from above his head, Jin Fanchen wanted to use this method to make his complicated mood feel better, but it was useless, Fang Manli's words kept repeating in his ears.
"She's your sister …"
"She's your sister …"
This sentence had always troubled his mind. Looking at the man in the mirror, his face was full of disgust. A violent punch had shattered the mirror.
Blood was flowing through his fingers, and he felt no pain.
This was nothing compared to the pain in his heart.
For a whole week, she had not heard from him for a whole week. Qin Chuxia was worried and anxious, but she didn't know how he was doing.
She did not know that the man she was thinking of was in the midst of a disaster, a mental disaster.
After that day, Jin Xu Chen fell into an endless darkness, and only bottle after bottle of wine remained by his side. From waking up to becoming confused to waking up, he didn't say a word.
Above the Jin family's mansion, a thick layer of black cloud floated over.
He was ready for everything, he was even prepared for the worst. He thought that no one would be able to separate them.
However, their relationship had become an obstacle to their fate.
But damn it, even if he knew that the person was her sister, he still didn't want a divorce!
He was still determined, he was still single-minded, his mind was still thinking about that woman.
But he knew, he knew, that they could no longer be together.
It wasn't that he didn't want to be with her, it was that they couldn't be together.
He had once thought that he could do everything, even if that person was her enemy.
But why, why did that person have blood ties with him!
The phone kept ringing. It was full of Qin Chuxia's numbers.
He would never have made her wait, but now he didn't even have the courage to listen to the phone ring.
Qin Chuxia, how do you want me to face you?
How can I face you?
What should I do with you?
Fang Manli stood outside the door. In just a short week, she had become a lot more haggard. She heard his angry and painful roars again, but she didn't know what to do.
A helpless sigh filled with endless sorrow.
"Madam, I've made some sobering soup for the Young Master, do you want me to bring it up?" The butler, Uncle Wang, asked timidly.
He had worked at the Jin family for so many years, but he had never seen his young master like this before. He had no idea what was wrong with him, to actually lock himself up in the house for a whole week.
Fang Manli shook her head, "No need, his heart is bitter, let him drink!"
