Under his overbearing and gentle coaxing, Zhan Yan still gave in. His coldness and wildness gave her extreme pain, and also brought her endless love.
He tortured her until Zhan Yan fainted under him, only then did he let her go.
Under the dim moonlight, her skin was as clear as white porcelain, and her long eyelashes were covered with bright tears.
He couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her eyes. If Zhan Yan opened his eyes now, she would definitely be able to catch the deep emotions that were lingering in his eyes.
In her dreams, Zhan Yan's body unconsciously approached the source of the warmth. Her head rested on Ji Weiyang's arm, her small, fair face was tranquil as the corner of her mouth curved into a faint arc.
Ji Weiyang laughed as he picked up the phone, recording her beautiful sleeping visage, and then set this photo as his phone's screen.
"Yan Yan, I will remember that smile on your face at this moment. It is even brighter than the sun." He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, saying to her in her heart: Zhan Yan, I love you, do you know?!
The next morning, the sky was bright.
When Zhan Yan woke up from her dreams, the place beside him was already completely empty. The first thought that flashed through her mind when she dressed and got out of bed was to buy medicine. She was pressed onto the plane by Ji Weiyang, so she naturally didn't carry around to prepare for the birth control pill. Furthermore, they were in the midst of a divorce, and in such a terrible situation, she completely didn't think that Ji Weiyang would want her.
At the entrance, she hastily changed into high heels. Just as she was about to leave, the deep and gentle voice of a man suddenly came from behind her. "Where are you going so early?"
Zhan Yan's body trembled slightly, she turned her head back with a guilty conscience, only to see Ji Weiyang dressed in a light white casual attire, gracefully sitting on the sofa and reading a newspaper, a faint smile on her handsome face.
He was in too much of a hurry to run just now, so he didn't notice his existence. He must have found her appearance laughable.
"I-I'll go buy breakfast." Zhan Yan casually made up a crappy reason. Ji Weiyang put down the newspaper in his hand and stood up with a smile, "I've already prepared breakfast, come and eat it."
He held her soft, small hand and walked her to the dining table, which was covered with a variety of Jiangnan snacks and delicate snacks.
Zhan Yan picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of dessert and put it into her mouth. It was sweet but not greasy. She nibbled on the dessert, obviously absent-minded. She had to take the pill within 72 hours. She had to think of a way to get rid of him as soon as possible.
"Why aren't you eating?" When she inadvertently raised her gaze, she discovered that Ji Weiyang, who was seated opposite her, had not even touched his chopsticks at all. His gentle gaze was always staring at her, and this caused her to feel even more guilty.
Ji Weiyang smiled with a trace of demonic charm. He indeed wanted to eat it, but she was the one he wanted to eat, she looked even more delicious than the snacks on the table.
"Eat, I'm not hungry. After breakfast, I'll bring you to take a look at the Western Creek Wetlands. The scenery there is not bad."
Yes." "En." Zhan Yan replied before lowering her head to continue eating. Ji Weiyang was right, Xi Xi Xi Xi was indeed a place that would make people unable to return to. "As she walked barefoot on the ridge of the fields, the withered yellow weeds felt soft under her feet. The wind lifted her long hair, gently blowing it in the wind. The city's hustle and bustle faded away, and at this moment, her heart was finally at peace.
The scenery on both sides of the river slowly retreated. The surging water along with the strong wind blew down many of the reeds that filled the sky, and Zhan Yan opened up her white palm, allowing a piece of cotton to slowly fall onto the palm of her hand. The young guide sitting at the bow of the ship introduced the West River Wetlands with a soft voice, "Back in the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Gaozhong made his way south due to his greed for the beauty of Xi Xi Xi. He wanted to build the entire city here, so he decided to leave behind Xi Xi Xi Xi Xi …" West River, stay behind. " Zhan Yan repeated herself in a low voice, with a hidden look in her eyes and a faint smile at the corner of her lips. It would be a blessing if she could stay here forever.
As if she had seen through her thoughts, Ji Weiyang smiled and asked, "Do you like this place? I'll buy you a house in Hangzhou and we'll come on vacation every summer. " After a moment of silence, Zhan Yan still shook her head. During the rainy season at Plum Garden in Jiangnan Province, the weather was cloudy and uncertain. In the evening, there was a slight drizzle.
"Wait for me here. I'll go ahead and see if there's any hotels. I'll stay here tonight." After Ji Weiyang finished speaking, he quickly rushed into the drizzle. After walking across the stone path, Ji Weiyang quickly found an ancient looking inn. Under the guidance of the shop owner, he entered a guest room on the second floor, the room was simple and clean, the windows were carved wood windows that seemed like they were from the ancient times. He pushed open the window frame, and a rain of rain flowed down from the south side of the river outside. On the small bridge not far away, Zhan Yan stood at the bridgehead with an oil-paper umbrella. She was wearing a simple and elegant, white, archaic dress.
The corner of Ji Weiyang's mouth raised into a smile, and a little poem suddenly sounded out: You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, while the people who look at the scenery look at you from upstairs. The moon adorns your windows, you adorn other people's dreams. Five days passed by quickly, and their days together had always passed by too quickly. Ji Weiyang suddenly realized that in the three years after their marriage, he had missed out on too many things.
On the way back from Hangzhou, Zhan Yan was a little dizzy. After taking some medicine, she leaned on's shoulder and fell asleep.
When the two of them walked out of the airport, the company car had already been waiting for them for a long time. Yu Mei opened the car door for Ji Weiyang and reported the rest of the trip, "Director Ji, at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, there will be a long-range meeting with Mr. Smith. The start ceremony for the three new projects will be held. Ji Weiyang focused on listening, his gaze swept across his watch, it was already twelve, it seemed like he did not have time to send Zhan Yan home. "Yan Yan, the company still has some matters to attend to. Let the chauffeur take you home first." "Yes, go get busy." Zhan Yan replied indifferently. Most of the time, she was so sensible that it made one's heart ache. Zhan Yan returned home alone, opened up her luggage and hung the two of their clothes back in order. She divided the gifts well and when the sky had turned dark, she ate dinner by herself and went to the study room to read.
When Zhan Yan walked out of the study, the antique clock in the living room had rung twelve times. It was already twelve in the morning, but Ji Weiyang still had not returned. She flipped through the calendar. There were still twenty-nine days until the eighth of next month. He would probably be back by then. Zhan Yan turned off the light and laid on the bed alone. The sky was still as dark as ever. The next morning, after eating breakfast, she drove to Ji Family Villa. Ji Weiyang was a filial son, so whenever he travelled, he would always bring a gift for Luo Meihui, and every time, Zhan Yan would send it away, he would do so with Zhan Yan in charge. Ji Weiyang's original intention was to use this as a way to ease the relationship between his wife and mother, but three years have passed and Luo Meihui still did not like Zhan Yan. Using Luo Meihui's words, Zhan Yan was beautiful and gentle, her family was similar, it could even be said to be one in a thousand, but she just couldn't like her, she probably didn't have any sort of fate.
Just as Zhan Yan's car entered the villa, her sister-in-law Su Ying walked over and greeted him: "Eldest Sister-in-law, what happened?" Zhan Yan pushed open the door and got off as she asked.
Auntie Lu came to visit dad, but dad wasn't here, so Mom and him got into an argument without even saying a few words, which was pretty aggressive. Mom wouldn't forgive you, so no matter what, Auntie Lu just called her a fox spirit.
"Which Auntie Lu?"
"Lu Manyun, Angel's mother."
The three words Lu Manyun made Zhan Yan's heart involuntarily twitch, and she asked anxiously: "Where are they?"
"On the roof …" Without waiting for Su Ying to finish speaking, Zhan Yan had already rushed towards the Sky Platform.
Grandma and mother were arguing, this was definitely not a good thing. Luo Meihui and Lu Manyun stood at the side of the roof and tore at each other. In response to Luo Meihui's pestering, Lu Manyun, flustered and exasperated, pushed at Luo Meihui with all his might, and as Luo Meihui's feet became unstable, she took the opportunity to fall out of the railing, as her entire person fell down onto the ground. Seeing that, Lu Manyun was scared silly.
"Mom!" Zhan Yan shouted. She rushed forward to grab Luo Meihui, but she only had enough time to grab onto the corner of her clothes.
She could only watch as Luo Meihui fell down the three story high roof, where she had enough time to make a short sound of "help".
At this time, Su Ying and a few servants were standing downstairs. After a short period of shock, Su Ying raised her head and looked at Zhan Yan, suddenly crying loudly, "Zhan Yan, have you gone mad?
From her point of view, it was Zhan Yan who pushed Luo Meihui down the stairs. On the other side, Zhan Yan stood there blankly with a blank mind. In her hands, she was still holding onto a corner of Luo Meihui's clothes.
When she turned around, she saw nothing behind her but Lu Manyun was nowhere to be seen. At this point, she was at her wit's end. She and her mother-in-law were at odds, and it was not a matter of one or two days.
No one noticed the tear between Lu Manyun and before, but countless eyes saw her reaching out her hand towards Luo Meihui. Under such a chaotic situation, it was impossible to tell if she was reaching out to save him or to push him away. The situation became even more chaotic, and soon enough, 120 people arrived. They escorted Luo Meihui to the hospital, then 110 people. They took away all the witnesses and people involved, naturally including Zhan Yan.
In the police station, Su Ying did not mention a single word about Lu Manyun, as she insisted that it was Zhan Yan who pushed him downstairs.
Faced with the policemen's questioning, Zhan Yan remained silent and was unable to say anything. He wanted her to personally reveal her own mother, so he was unable to say it out loud.
She struggled in her heart until she got news from the hospital that Luo Meihui was dead. Zhan Yan sat paralyzed on the chair, her eyes were unfocused and she could not say a word.
As long as she exposed Lu Manyun, her mother would never be able to come out of jail again. Moreover, she was a famous person, so this would only cause her to lose her reputation.
How could Zhan Yan bear to let this kind of thing to happen? Right now, the only thing she could do was to remain silent.
Everyone's testimony was disadvantageous to her. Not long after she was locked up in the police station, people from Ji Family rushed over. Everyone looked at her with cold and apologies.
But Zhan Yan did not care about all these, she only cared about Ji Weiyang, what would Ji Weiyang think of her after such a thing happened? Ji Bocheng sat in his seat without saying a word, causing Ji Ting and Ji Weixin's eyes to turn red from crying. Su Ying was the one with the most intense reaction, "Ol 'Three, look at the good wife you've married, and actually pushed mother down the stairs with your own hands! She killed her mother. "
Ji Weiyang's tall and big body was half-leaning against the door, and he continuously lowered his head as he smoked. The matter has yet to be investigated clearly, Su Ying, what are you shouting for! "
Ji Ting said. I saw it with my own eyes. Not only me, even the few servants have seen it. With so many pairs of eyes watching her, how can she, Wei Zhanyan, deny it! " Su Ying retorted boldly. Ji Weixin, who was at the side, could not watch any longer, and reached out to tug at his wife, "Are you done talking? What are you saying? I am also the daughter-in-law of Ji Family. " Su Ying looked at Ji Weiyang, and asked aggressively: "Weiyang, Mom has always doted on you, but now that Mom has been killed by your wife, how do you plan to handle this matter?" For a moment, all eyes fell on Ji Weiyang. She elegantly sighed the ashes on her fingertip. Her handsome face was terrifyingly still, without even a trace of panic. Even the pain was hidden extremely deeply.
"Sister-in-law, I don't know what you mean. Something so big has happened, how to deal with it is a police matter. It's not up to you and me to interrupt." His words nearly choked Su Ying to death, and she was unable to say a single word.
Ji Bocheng, who had been sitting in his seat the entire time finally spoke in a deep voice, "Wei Yang is right. The police will naturally investigate if Zhan Yan is guilty or not. You guys have the energy to argue, so spend more time preparing for your mother's funeral. " With that, he got up and walked outside. Everyone from the Ji Family followed them out, and in the end, only Ji Weiyang and Zhan Yan were left in the room.
He sat down in front of her, and his deep gaze unblinkingly fell on her small, pale face. His eyes seemed to hold back his tears. Yan Yan, tell me, you didn't do it, right? "
Zhan Yan's head was still pressed down, tears trickling down from her eyes onto the back of her hand. She bit her lips and maintained her silence.
But her silence infuriated Ji Weiyang. He lost control of himself and grabbed her shoulders with his arm, shaking her vigorously as he said furiously, "Wei Zhanyan, say something! If you say no, I believe you. "
Tears of pain moistened his eyes. How could he believe that his weak and kind wife would kill someone?
However, all the lances were pointed towards her. Countless pairs of eyes had seen her push her mother down from the balcony, and the police had detected that there were indeed Zhan Yan's fingerprints on her arm. Furthermore, their mother's sleeves had also been ripped off by Zhan Yan.
In the face of such ironclad evidence, he was still willing to believe her. If she said no, even if it was a lie, he would still be willing to believe her. However, she didn't say anything, and just silently agreed. Wei Zhanyan, had she thought about his position? That person was his mother, someone related to him by blood.
"Sorry, Viyan, sorry …" Zhan Yan's voice was choked with sobs, and she was crying nonstop.
Ji Weiyang slowly let her go as he unsteadily took two steps back. His expression revealed indescribable pain, "Why did you do this? No matter what my mother said or did, she is still an elder. Can't you just humbly let her go? Why did he have to go this far? Zhan Yan, tell me, from now on, how are we going to walk … " Even now, he was still thinking about their future.
"Even until this moment, he still could not let go of her." "Viyan …" Zhan Yan trembled as she called out, she subconsciously wanted to touch him, but her arm was actually frozen in midair. Ji Weiyang would only make her waver, just now, when he was faced with Ji Weiyang's questioning, she almost wanted to blurt out the truth, but, she could not, because that would cause Lu Manyun to die. It was that person who gave her life. If possible, let her return it all to her.
"Yan Yan, did I misjudge you?" Ji Weiyang muttered softly, as if he was speaking to her, but at the same time, it was also questioning himself.
He blankly turned around and took heavy steps, disappearing into the distance step by step. Zhan Yan looked at his lonely back, until she completely disappeared from her line of sight. Unable to hold on any longer, she collapsed onto the ground, sobbing out his name. "Viyan, I'm sorry, I didn't want to make things like this, but I can't say it. I really can't say it." On the other side, Lu Manyun also had difficulty sleeping and eating at home. Lu Anqi held the phone in her hand, and anxiously walked around her.
"Sister Su Ying, how's the situation over there?"
"Yes, my mom is famous. If this were to happen to her, the media would just make a big fuss about it and slander my mom's reputation. So, I have to ask for your help on this matter."
"Alright, thank you. Don't worry, I won't forget this favor." Lu Anqi put down the phone and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"Mom, don't worry. Things aren't as bad as you think. Su Ying knows what she should do, but she did not mention you.
Now that all the evidence is pointed at Wei Zhanyan, it has nothing to do with you, just pretend like nothing happened. "
Lu Manyun sat paralyzed on the sofa, her face was pale white, and her hands were folded tightly. After all, apart from human life, how could she pretend that nothing had happened?
Moreover, if she continued to run, Wei Zhanyan would become the scapegoat. She had met that girl several times, and she was very quiet and pleasing. She was the daughter of her elder sister, and was only in her twenties this year. How could she bear to have a child take the blame for her?
"Life is not child's play. Angel, call the police. If you're surrendering, you should be able to take it lightly." Lu Manyun sighed and said.
"No way!" Lu Anqi raised her voice, her reaction was even more agitated than Lu Manyun herself. How could she allow Lu Manyun to turn herself in? As long as Zhan Yan went to jail, she and Wei Yang would have a chance.
She kneeled in front of Lu Manyun, crying so hard that her eyes were filled with tears, "Mom, we can't call the police, I can't let you go to jail."
Lu Manyun lightly caressed her daughter's face and sighed heavily, "Angel, do you really think we can get away with this? As long as Wei Zhanyan reveals herself, the police will also investigate, and manslaughter and escape. At that time, things will get even worse. " No, it won't, even if Wei Zhanyan were to tell her, no one would believe her. "
Angel shook her head furiously and gripped her mother's hand tightly. "Mom, even if you don't think for yourself, think for me. Without you, who would take care of me? Everyone will call me crazy, call me crazy, and they will bully me … " Seeing Angel's crying face, Lu Manyun's heart softened. That's right, Angel was still sick, she had to stay back to take care of her and protect her. Although Angel wasn't her biological daughter, she treated her as her own daughter from the day she brought her back from the orphanage. And Wei Zhanyan was merely a stranger to her. Moreover, she hated Wei Jingnian and Lu Ruping.
"Don't cry, I'll listen to you. Angie, Mommy won't leave you." Lu Manyun helped her daughter up from the ground. Mother wants to be alone for a while, so you should go back to your room first. "
"Yes." Lu Anqi nodded and walked up the stairs. At the turn of the stairs, she turned around to look at her mother's Xiao Suo's back, a cold smile on her lips as she casually wiped away the tears on her face with her fingertips.
This time, her good mother really helped her a lot. As long as she could get rid of Zhan Yan, Wei Yang would be hers. After Lu Anqi closed the door, he dialed Ji Weiyang's number. On the other end, his voice was low and had an enchanting quality, but there was an additional sliver of hoarseness to it, so's death must have been quite a blow to him. That old witch was the culprit who broke up their relationship, she deserved to die. Lu Anqi thought angrily in her heart, but his voice was still soft and timid, and there was even a hint of tears in his voice, "Weiyang, are you alright? I just heard about Aunt Ji. The deceased are already dead.
"Yes." On the other end of the phone, Ji Weiyang replied indifferently, "Angel, I'm a bit tired. I'm hanging up now."
"Weiyang, I …" Before she could finish her sentence, a busy beep came from the other end of the phone.
At that time, Ji Weiyang's tall and big body was leaning on the balcony of his bedroom. In his hand was a goblet, and inside the cup was a blood red wine. His gaze was very deep, so dark that it was terrifying. He took a sip of the wine and coughed softly. The door behind him made a slight sound, then Boss Ji Weixin pushed the door open and entered, walking over and snatching the wine cup from his hands. What do you have to drink if your stomach isn't good? Just for a Wei Zhanyan, how are you going to torture yourself to such a state? " "Bro, don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Ji Weiyang leaned onto the railing. With his blue shirt, his face looked somewhat haggard. What limits do you have? Ever since Zhan Yan came in, our home had never been at peace. Now that's good, we have gotten into big trouble, even Mother … " After saying that, Ji Weixin's dark voice became choked with sobs, "Weiyang, don't say that I didn't remind you. This time the matter is too big, you can't end it here, so stop protecting her. When his aunt and Gu Xiyao were on their way, the Luo Family would never let Zhan Yan go. "At my advice, I forgot about her and went to find a good girl to marry and have kids." The corner of Ji Weiyang's mouth raised perfunctorily, but he smiled and did not speak. Ji Weixin's large palm heavily pressed onto his shoulder, and then, he got up and left. Before he even walked out of the room, Ji Weiyang's voice came from behind him.
"Brother, did sister-in-law really see Zhan Yan push her mother down from above?" Ji Weixin stopped and turned back, "Although your sister-in-law has never liked Zhan Yan, but when it comes to matters where one's life is in danger, she will never lie." After Big Bro left, Ji Weiyang picked up his phone again and dialed a number, "Senior Brother, this is Ji Weiyang, we'll meet at the national banquet later, I'll treat you to a meal with me."
In the VIP VIP VIP private room, Ji Weiyang personally poured wine for Shang Guilin, the President of the Municipal People's Court.
"Senior brother, we haven't seen each other for seven or eight years after graduation. This Weiyang toast is first as a form of respect." Ji Weiyang lifted the full cup of white wine and gulped it down.
He was a student of law in his university, and Shang Guolin was two years ahead of him. At that time, they were both part of the school basketball team, so they could be considered to have some friendship.
Shang Guilin was a man of his word, so he asked straightforwardly, "Kid, you never come here without reason. You must be here for the case of your wife."
Ji Weiyang laughed warmly, "Senior brother, you know that this kind of case can be big or small. If she was deemed to have deliberately killed people, Zhan Yan would probably have to spend the rest of her life in jail. However, if it is classified as manslaughter, then the punishment will be a few years, and a few years later, the person will be able to escape from prison. "
Shang Guilin sipped his wine and frowned awkwardly, "Weiyang, to be honest, this kind of case, according to past experience, is definitely a crime of negligence. What kind of grudges can there be between a wife and daughter-in-law?" Director Luo had just called this morning and specifically ordered that this matter be handled strictly. Although the old headmaster has left, more than half of the people in the Supreme Court are his old subordinates.
It was not that Shang Guolin did not want to help, but Ji Weiyang knew better than anyone how powerful the Luo Family was. No one had ever dared to offend the Luo Family.
"Senior brother, don't worry. I will naturally give him an explanation regarding grandfather." As for Zhan Yan, I don't want her to go to jail. "You still need to be careful about this matter. Just consider it as Vayon asking for a favor from you." Ji Weiyang poured another cup of white wine and gulped it down.
Shang Guorin sighed and clinked glasses with him. "Who is the Third Young Master Ji? He is someone that others have always begged him for, and there is no time for him to beg. Now that he has spoken, Shang Guilin can't help but give him face." Okay, brother will help you this time. But, Weiyang, the one who died was your mother, do you really trust Wei Zhanyan that much? " Ji Weiyang laughed bitterly, and after a short period of silence, he replied seriously, "I believe you." Shang Guilin smiled and clinked glasses with him. What else could he say? A man who could destroy everything was still a hero and a sorrowful beauty.
"I hope that this case can be settled as soon as possible. Let's discuss the details of the case with Governor Wei first. It's not convenient for me to step in. "
"Don't worry, leave the rest to me." Shang Guilin naturally understood, with a mother and wife, Ji Weiyang being caught in the middle could be said to be in a dilemma. If news of this reached the ears of the Luo Family, his days would only be even worse.
Ji Weiyang put down his wine cup and casually picked up his suit jacket, "My mother is going to be buried tomorrow, tonight I will accompany her for her last night. Senior Brother, I will be leaving first.
Shang Guilin nodded his head to show that he understood. At this time, the Wei Family was also in a mess. Governor Wei sat on the sofa in the living room with an ashen face, refusing all official business. Wei Shanshan and her daughter sat at the side, looking pleased at her misfortune.
"I knew that girl wasn't someone to be trifled with. Ever since she came to live at home, she has caused quite a bit of trouble. Now, you still dare to kill people. The Luo Family is not someone to be trifled with." Lu Ruping ridiculed. Wei Jingnian turned his head and stared at her, "You're still spouting such words at such a time. Even if Zhan Yan isn't your biological son, she's still called you mother for more than twenty years. Don't you have any pity at all?" Lu Ruping snorted, and did not speak anymore. She still did not have enough sympathy to pity Lu Manyun.
"I'll go to the police station to look for Zhan Yan. You two stay at home obediently. If I find out what you two have done that was detrimental to Zhan Yan, don't blame me for being impolite."
After Wei Jingnian left these words, he brought his secretary and left. In the police station, Zhan Yan was locked up in a single room. Her hands were covered in cold handcuffs and his face was pale and haggard. "Dad." She called out to him in a low voice. Wei Jingnian sighed, and asked: "Zhan Yan, what exactly happened?" Her daughter couldn't be a father. If Zhan Yan killed someone, he wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.
Zhan Yan lowered her head, pursed her lips, and after a long while, she replied in a low voice: "Yes, I accidentally pushed mother down from the roof." Wei Jingnian's expression became even darker, "Zhan Yan, you have been soft since young. Let alone fighting with your mother-in-law, you don't even know how to talk back. Zhan Yan, tell daddy the truth, what exactly happened? " Faced with his father's questioning, Zhan Yan's tears instantly gushed out. After crying for a while, she told his father everything that had happened.
"Dad, what do you think I should do? "As a child, don't tell me that you want me to give up my mother and watch her go to jail and lose her reputation?"
Wei Jingnian sighed helplessly. His Zhan Yan was just too kind, she would always think of others more than herself.
The atmosphere in the room immediately quietened down, and it was so quiet that even her breathing became clear. Zhan Yan tried her best to smile, and used her fingertip to lightly wipe away the tears on her face. "Father, how long will it take for you to accidentally kill someone? Actually, I don't even know what a prison is like, Dad, I, I'm a little scared. "
Zhan Yan's words made Wei Jingnian's heart throb with pain. In the end, it was as though he owed them too much.
His old hand held Zhan Yan's ice-cold hand tightly and gave her a silent strength.
"Zhan Yan, don't be afraid. As long as daddy is here, I won't let you go to jail."
"Governor Wei, it's time. You should leave first, don't make things too difficult for us." The bureau chief knocked on the door and walked in, whispering into Wei Jingnian's ears.
Wei Jingnian nodded, then said to Zhan Yan, "Zhan Yan, Father will come and see you another day. Remember father's words, you will definitely be fine." He got up and walked to the entrance, but he was still worried about turning his head around to look at Zhan Yan, the cold handcuffs on her wrist made her eyes hurt.
"Governor Wei, don't worry. We will take good care of Miss Wei." the director said respectfully. In the next few days, Wei Jingnian ran all over the place about Zhan Yan. He did not expect that the matter would go so far, as though all the tests had been cleared in advance, and he was only waiting for the final judgement after the trial.
Within the study room, Gao Yuxuan was holding a cup of warm tea as he knocked on the door and walked in. "Dad, you must be exhausted these few days. Have a cup of tea and rest up."
Wei Jingnian put down the documents in his hands, and pushed the reading glasses on his nose, but didn't go over to receive the tea he had handed over. What's the matter? " Gao Yuxuan sat down on the sofa beside him, and said with a little difficulty, "Dad, the case against Zhan Yan will be decided tomorrow. Zhan Yan, she won't go to jail, right?"
These few days, because of Zhan Yan's matter, he had been unable to sleep and eat, but she was unable to help. Wei Jingnian swept a glance across him and said in a deep voice, "There's no need for you to worry about Zhan Yan's matters. The person you should be concerned about is Shan, I heard that she hasn't been home for a long time, and as her husband, you didn't manage it well, so please don't let her go to those filthy places." Who could control the temper of Wei Shanshan's young miss? Regarding this marriage, Gao Yuxuan had long since given up all hope and allowed her to do as she pleased.
But in front of Wei Jingnian, he could only half-heartedly agree, "Father, don't worry, I will take good care of Shan Shan."
"En, if there's nothing else, then you guys should head back earlier." With that said, Wei Jingnian picked up the documents on the table again.
Gao Yuxuan sat in his original spot without moving, and continued to ask, "Dad, I only care about Zhan Yan like a normal friend, will she be okay?" Wei Jingnian hesitated for a moment, but still nodded his head.
Gao Yuxuan was finally relieved and got up to leave. Pushing the door open and coming out, Wei Shanshan stood outside the study, dressed splendidly, holding onto her bag as though she was about to go out. She was used to going out night and day.
"Are you still thinking about your little darling? If the Luo Family has died, they will not take it lying down. This time, even if she doesn't die, she will at least lose a layer of her skin. "
Gao Yuxuan was too lazy to argue with her, he only coldly glanced at her, "Are you not going to find a duck tonight? There is still time to talk about other people's business here. "
"Gao Yuxuan, let me tell you, none of the men I am looking for are stronger than you." At first, she only wanted to find another man to anger Gao Yuxuan, but she didn't expect him to not care in the slightest.
"In what way is he stronger than me? On the bed? " Gao Yuxuan snorted in disdain. Wei Shanshan laughed sarcastically. They had been married for three years, and the words on his finger could be clearly spoken dozens of times.
"Gao Yuxuan, you are not a man at all. She pushed him away and hurried away.
The next day, Zhan Yan's case was officially decided. Zhan Yan was convicted of manslaughter, and because the circumstances were minor, she was sentenced to three years in prison with a suspension of execution for a period of three years.
For Zhan Yan, this could be said to be the best result. Zhan Yan was released from court. As she walked out of the courthouse, a light drizzle started to fall from the sky. Holding onto an umbrella, Wei Jingnian stood at the entrance of the courthouse.
Zhan Yan was only wearing a thin shirt, making him look even more helpless and weak.
Wei Jingnian propped the umbrella on top of her head, embraced her lightly and comforted her, "Yan Yan, it's alright.
"Yes." Zhan Yan nodded silently, her gaze looking around.
Wei Jingnian saw through her daughter's thoughts and sighed, "Today is the day that Madam Ji will be buried. Wei Yang will not be coming." Zhan Yan nodded in understanding before asking softly, "H-how has he been recently?" You know that Vayon is a filial son, and she must feel bad about what has happened to him.
Zhan Yan, during this period of time, don't disturb him. Once things have calmed down a bit, we'll make our plans. " Wei Jingnian's palm lightly patted her shoulder.
Since things had turned out like this, he could only take things one step at a time. On the other side, Luo Meihui's funeral was held in the church in the outskirts.
The people who came to the funeral were all well-known people in S City, and some of them had rushed over from Beijing to be hanged. The atmosphere at the scene was heavy and oppressive, the people from Ji Family were all immersed in grief.
"Has Fourth Bro been contacted yet?" Ji Bocheng lowered his voice and asked his eldest son who was beside him. Of the three sons of Ji Family, the fourth oldest, Ji Weilin, had been the most rebellious since childhood and after the age of eighteen, he had always stayed abroad, rarely returning to his country. "Right." Ji Weixin nodded his head, "I heard that they followed the expedition team to the South Pole, and we are unable to contact them for the time being." Ji Bocheng sighed.
"Forget it, just pretend that your mother didn't get on that damn thing." After the funeral, Ji Weixin the eldest carried his mother's casket and set off for the cemetery.
But Luo Meijuan suddenly stood up, and shouted sternly, "Weiyang, you don't need to go, your mother doesn't have such an unfilial son like you."
Ji Weiyang stood there with his back upright and his eyes slightly red, yet he did not refute a single word.
Ji Ting was the first to stand out and retort, "Aunt, what do you mean by this? "When mom was alive, she doted on Weiyang the most, but now, you don't want her to send you off on your final journey. Mother's spirit in heaven, how can you let her leave peacefully?"
"Big sister, this is my Ji Family, so there is no need for outsiders to argue. I know more about beauty than you do, and if Viyan doesn't go to see her off, she won't be at ease. "
The usually silent Ji Family elder, Ji Bocheng, also spoke out. Gu Xiyao held onto Luo Meijuan, and also advised, "Mom, this is, after all, a family matter of the Ji Family …"
"You shut up." Luo Meijuan shouted angrily, "I don't care about the Ji Family or the Luo Family, I only know that the one who's dead is my sister. I must pay the price with my surname 'Wei'. "
She was currently angry, and Gu Xiyao did not dare to persuade her further. From the corner of his eyes, he glanced at Ji Weiyang, with a hint in his eyes.
Luo Meijuan pointed straight at Ji Weiyang and interrogated him sternly, "Weiyang, now that your wings have hardened, do you think you can do it watertight? In front of your father, tell me, how did Wei Zhanyan escape punishment? " Viyan, what's going on? " Ji Bocheng's face also turned cold.
Ji Weiyang's face was handsome and cold. With an extremely deep gaze, his voice had a hint of hoarseness mixed within. "Father, I'm sorry.
As soon as he said that, Ji Bocheng's slap landed, and with a crisp smack, everyone was stunned. Ji Weiyang had grown up, it was the first time Ji Bocheng had hit him.
"Unfilial son, you were truly bewitched by that woman. Go and kneel in front of your mother's portrait. " Ji Weiyang's left cheek was burning in pain, but he did not say a word as he knelt in front of Luo Meihui's portrait. The Ji Family convoy majestically left. Ji Weiyang was still kneeling on the ground without moving, his head lowered and his back straightened.
Gu Xiyao walked over and used one hand to help him up, "Get up, they are all gone." He took out a cigarette from the box and passed it to Ji Weiyang. The lighter in his hand made two crackling sounds, the tip of his finger was lit up brightly, Ji Weiyang frowned as he inhaled a mouthful of smoke, the smoke permeating into the air, his handsome face hiding behind the smoke, looking extremely unreal.
"Fourth brother, do you also think that I am unfilial? "Even if Zhan Yan made an unforgivable mistake, but the deceased is already dead, even if I kill her, my mother won't be able to come back. I just want to protect the woman I love, is this really the wrong decision?" Gu Xiyao exhaled the smoke and remained silent for a moment.
"You're right, Viyan, but many things are not measured by simple right and wrong. The Ji and Luo families are furious. The more you protect her, the more dangerous she will become. "
Ji Weiyang remained silent as he lightly sighed with his fingers. If he guessed correctly, his aunt would definitely do something to Wei Family next. Could it be that he will just watch Zhan Yan suffer and ignore it? Could he really do it?
They stayed in the church for several hours, the crystal ashtray full of burnt cigarette butts, the room filled with the pungent smell of tobacco.
Ji Weiyang stood up, picked up his suit jacket and walked out. At this point of time, there should be no one left at the cemetery, he was going to send his mother off for the last time.
At some point, a light drizzle had begun to fall from the sky. It was like a tear that had left the world. Dark clouds covered the sky above his head.
Ji Weiyang's Dark Green Land Rover quickly sped along the road, and the rain got heavier and heavier.
From afar, he could only see a delicate black figure silently standing in front of a brand-new tombstone. She quietly stood in the rain, allowing the rain to wet her long hair.
He approached her with the umbrella, and finally stopped behind her, covering the top of her head with the umbrella.
That black figure turned around slowly. Tears still hung on her pale face. She looked at him with astonishment in her eyes.
"Why are you here?"
"I, I came to see mom." Zhan Yan bit her lips and spoke softly.
She raised her sharp and small chin and looked deeply at him. His handsome face was haggard and weak, because he had not closed his eyes for a few nights, his eyes were completely bloodshot.
Zhan Yan's eyes were filled with tears and she subconsciously reached out with her hand. Her palm gently covered his handsome face which was extremely cold, while her hand was soft like a feather, and gently caressed his bronze colored skin.
Ji Weiyang's tall and big body trembled slightly. He grabbed onto her small hand and pressed it to his face, feeling her soft warmth.
Not far away, his mother's brand-new grave stood in the wind and rain. On the tombstone was a small black-and-white photo. His mother was smiling amiably, just like he remembered. But now, she could only remain within his memories forever.
Even if he was unwilling to admit it, it was truly caused by Zhan Yan. Ji Weiyang clenched his teeth and pushed her away. Step by step, he walked towards Luo Meihui's tombstone. He slowly crouched down and placed a large bunch of white chrysanthemum flowers in front of the tombstone.
As he read, tears began to well up in his eyes. "At the time of his birth, his mother had given birth to severe bleeding from birth. His health was not good when he was young, and he was the one who was the most painful to his mother. She always said that he was the flesh that fell from her heart." "Mom, Viyan is unfilial. If he still has a next life, I'll still be your son." Ji Weiyang's hand firmly grabbed the edge of the tombstone, and his fingertip dug deep into the tombstone, leaving behind specks of blood on the surface of the tombstone. When Ji Weiyang stood up and prepared to leave, he turned his head around. He only saw that frail figure still standing quietly in the rain, looking at him with a pitiful gaze, like a homeless child.
Ji Weiyang's heart suddenly softened. He couldn't be heartless to her, who was like this. Ji Weiyang walked to Zhan Yan's side while holding his umbrella, and coldly threw out a sentence to her.
"I'll send you back. Don't come again, my mom doesn't want to see you." The two of them walked down the curved stone path. Most of the black umbrella that Ji Weiyang was holding was in the direction of Zhan Yan, so even though half of his shoulders were drenched, he still wasn't aware of it.
It rained heavily, visibility was low, the car drove very slowly, and it took them almost two hours to return to the city from the outskirts of the cemetery. During these two long hours, Zhan Yan and Ji Weiyang spent time in the narrow space together, keeping quiet with each other. The radio was broadcasting the theme song of the recent hit show, "Fate".
"I don't know much about love, but I never thought that love would come like this. In front of love, my heart is already not so steady, if I knew earlier, I wouldn't have started like a fool and only regretted now. "I'm praying that you don't love me, that the one who loves me shouldn't be you, that you've been lying to me all this while, that there's no love between us, that we only have a passing marriage, that will only leave me with pain now, that I know it's impossible, but I want to have everything of you …" Without waiting for the song to finish broadcasting, Ji Weiyang angrily turned off the broadcast.
The road was slippery in the rain, and because of an accident ahead, they were forced to block the road. Ji Weiyang opened the window a crack, and then lit a cigarette. Looking through the rearview mirror, he saw Zhan Yan quietly sitting at the front passenger seat. Her face was pale to the point that it was almost transparent. Ji Weiyang's heart suddenly throbbed in pain.
