It was unknown when, but all the servants at home started to curry favor with Wu Xia. Indeed, the wind had changed, and the current Wu Xia is the future master of Yu Family. Just as Wang Xinran said, this place is not my home after all.
It was unknown when it started, but all the servants started to curry favor with Wu Xia.
I stood upstairs for a while, then walked down the stairs. Sitting around Wu Xia were the servants who were chatting, and after seeing me come down, I immediately scattered and left. Compared to Wu Xia, my popularity here was much worse.
The servants here don't really talk to me, but rather, in the short span of a few days that Wu Xia had been here, there were quite a few people who had a good relationship with her.
Seeing me go downstairs, she immediately put down the scissors in her hand and walked towards me. As usual, she smiled and asked, "Little Wei, what do you want to eat? "Sister-in-law will make it for you."
Just as she said that, I could see that there was a red mark on Wu Xia's neck. Wu Xia's first reaction was to cover the red mark on her neck tightly, and smiled at me like a thief: "I accidentally strangled him yesterday."
In response to her panic, I just smiled and asked, "Do you need to apply some medicine?"
Her face immediately turned red, and she quickly panicked, "No need, no need. It'll be fine in a few days." Her face was turning more and more red, as if she was vexed over why she was wearing such a round collar. She could only quickly lower her head, like a cooked shrimp, and hurriedly said, "I, I'll go change clothes."
After he finished speaking, he rushed up the stairs.
I stood downstairs and looked at Wu Xia's back as she left in a hurry, then let out a cold laugh. For some reason, I didn't even have the appetite for breakfast, so I called Grandma before Wu Xia came down, saying that I would send Xiao Jie over today.
When Grandma heard my words on the phone, she immediately agreed to it and even told me to bring it back as soon as possible.
So when I brought Xiao Jie out at ten in the morning to find his grandmother, every time he followed me, he would raise his head and ask me, "Mother? Can't I stay with you at your uncle's? "
I looked down at him, his face had a look of reluctance, but I could only squat down in front of him and caress his face with my hands, "Xiao Jie, once mother finishes everything here, mother will bring you to her side, okay?"
Xiao Jie pouted and asked: "Then how much longer do I have to wait?"
I thought for a moment and said, "Soon, very soon, mother will bring you out of here."
When Xiao Jie heard my words, he could only reluctantly nod his head and say, "Okay, then Mom, you have to come and pick me up quickly."
At this age, he was easy to negotiate with. I didn't think that he, who used to be so young, would suddenly be five or six years old. I held him in my arms for a long time, then touched his head and led him on.
When we sat on the bus and the bus swayed back and forth, Xiao Jie would still feel a little nervous. His hands kept grabbing onto my clothes and his eyes kept staring straight ahead. I didn't say anything.
Very quickly, we arrived at Chen Feng's doorstep. I did not go in, because I knew that Qiao Yuxin was already living in Chen Feng's house, so in order to avoid meeting her, I directly called Grandma and had her come downstairs to pick up the phone.
Nanny seemed to have rushed over in a hurry, this time picking up Xiao Jie, was also not like last time. He kept persuading me to return home, but instead, he accepted the Xiao Jie from my hands and hurriedly said, "Little Wei, you can go back first. I will take good care of the child, don't worry."
I didn't say much to my mother-in-law's words. I just smiled in appreciation and said, "?" "Sorry for troubling you."
She hugged Xiao Jie and exchanged a few pleasantries with me before she waved goodbye and hurriedly went upstairs with me while hugging the child. Xiao Jie looked back at me three times as he held onto her hands, seemingly hoping that I would take him away from my mother-in-law's grasp in the last second with tears in his eyes.
But I didn't move, I just stood there and watched him being carried into the elevator by his mother-in-law. In the end, he was a little disappointed, so he weakly leaned on my mother-in-law's shoulder and stopped looking at me. In the end, their figures disappeared from my sight.
Xiao Jie's disappointed actions just now pierced into my heart like a thorn, but I couldn't pull it out. Xiao Jie will never understand what happened to me after sending him here for such a short distance.
I even thought about it. As long as we are together, there is no difference. However, logic strongly oppresses those words to tell us that this is not enough, that the root of the problem is not eliminated, and that wherever you run, you do not flee, but strike the grass and alert the snake.
After I returned to the villa, Wu Xia was not at home. I heard that I went to see grandfather at the hospital, although grandfather was discharged from the hospital, his health was never strong enough, so Wu Xia would often visit him and send him off to the Xiao Jie. I was fine by myself, so I sat in the empty hall, staring at the trees outside the garden in a daze.
I stopped walking. I didn't expect him to be at home at this point. I will never forget the cruel way he took the remains of my parents to be cremated. With a pale face, I turn around and start to walk away.
Yu Jin did not call me over, but watched me enter the room, and then went downstairs.
Not long after, a servant walked in, carrying a cold medicine and a temperature gem. I curiously asked her why she suddenly thought of taking my body temperature, and the servant smiled as he dripped an electronic thermometer on my forehead, "How could we be so meticulous? The Mr. Yu instructed us to do so, he said that your complexion didn't look good, so he probably had a cold."
Just as she finished speaking, she saw the thermometer's number, 38 degrees Celsius, and was immediately shocked. She did not expect Yu Jin to be so accurate, with a real fever, and even a high fever.
In less than twenty minutes, the doctor hurried over, hung my anti-inflammatory water, and gave me an antipyretic. I lay there in a daze and fell into a deep sleep.
I don't know how long I slept, but I felt someone touching me, and the temperature of my fingers felt very familiar. I opened my eyes in a daze and saw Yu Jin, who had returned and was sitting beside my sickbed, reaching out his hand to test the warmth of my forehead.
I looked at him and tilted my head slightly to the side, avoiding his touch and burying my head under the blanket.
Yu Jin, who was sitting beside my bed, didn't make a sound until his voice faintly travelled across the quilt. He said, "How much longer are you going to play with me?"
I didn't say anything, just hugged myself and curled into a ball.
There was another wave of depression in front of the bed. After a long pause, he said: "If you still don't want to see me speak, once you've recovered from your sickness, I'll leave this place for you. I'll bring Wu Xia to the Yu Family old dwelling." I curled up in the quilt and twitched a couple of times, but after a few moments I regained my composure and lay there without moving.
Yu Jin's hand fell onto my head through the blanket and he gently caressed it twice. With a slightly helpless tone, he said, "Don't hurt yourself, you can have anything you want."
After he finished speaking, he didn't say anything more. After he retracted his hand that was on my head, about two to three minutes later, faint footsteps could be heard from within the room. Following that, the door closed.
When I peeked my head out of the blanket, Yu Jin was already gone from the room.
Yu Jin and Wu Xia had long been waiting at the table. After I sat down, he took the bamboo and wooden chopsticks from the side, and picked up a small piece of vegetable from my bowl. He then said in a low voice, "Eat."
Wu Xia glanced at Yu Jin, and also picked up the chopsticks.
No one spoke during the entire meal. The dining room was extremely quiet until Yumann Ting dragged her servant's luggage down and arrived at Yu Jin's side. Then she said in a low voice, "Boss Yu, you and Lady Yu have packed your things."
Yu Jin acknowledged him and bellowed, Yumann Ting did not speak anymore, and led the servants to carry the luggage out, onto the carriage.
Seeing this, a hint of worry appeared in Wu Xia's eyes as she asked, "Little Wei is still sick, is no one going to take care of him like this?"
Yu Jin did not look at her, but said in a low voice, "This will be more beneficial to her recuperation."
After Wu Xia heard these words, she did not dare say too much and could only lower her head to eat. This meal was tasteless to everyone, so Yu Jin called for a few doctors to wait here.
When I sat in my room and heard the sound of a car leaving, I sat there and didn't move.
When Yumann Ting pushed the door open and walked in, she was holding the evening's fever medicine. Seeing that I was wearing only a thin layer of clothes and was sitting at the window, she immediately went to the cabinet and took out a blanket to cover me.
After covering his face, she took back his hand from my body, then said: "Actually Boss Yu treats you very well, Miss Yu, sometimes we need to learn how to get along with this world, not just how to be sharp, like this not only harms you, but also others. He is your blood brother, and to you, how can I not hurt you."
I hugged my blanket as I sat there. After hearing what Yumann Ting said, I only sneered and said, "He does indeed love me a lot, but I think you should be clear about what he did to me."
Yumann Ting said: "I don't know where your heart is at, but I still want to say something. No matter what he did to you, isn't he the only family you have in this world? He's your older brother, and he protected you from growing up when you were very young. No matter how much damage he did, it couldn't cover up the fact that they were related by blood.
I raised my face to look at Yumann Ting.
She said, "You have never hated him, never. If you have hated him, you would have done nothing about your suspicions or what you have already confirmed. In the end, you are just afraid of hurting him."
Yumann Ting's words, were as though she had forcibly ripped off the shameful cloth on my body. My tone was slightly agitated as I said, "Don't think that you know everything, when the day comes that you face my kind of situation, you will know how much you need to stand and speak without feeling any pain in your waist."
Seeing that I was a little angry, Yumann Ting laughed and said: "Yes, I have never experienced such a situation like yours, but now that Boss Yu has left, do you think you can get used to it?"
She said this profound sentence, and without looking at my reaction, she turned and left my room.
In fact, I really wished that he could take Wu Xia and leave. I am here alone, and being at ease by myself is better than having to face the two of them everyday.
The second day after Yu Jin brought Wu Xia and left, my fever had turned for the better. Yumann Ting's job seemed to be to stay here and watch over me, so she basically did not have to do anything. I was watching TV in the living room while she sat on the sofa and read a magazine.
When I went for a walk in the garden, she reported the situation to Yu Jin in her room.
I suddenly felt that Yumann Ting didn't stay behind to take care of me, she seemed to be monitoring me.
On the surface, it was supposed to be a quiet place for me to rest, but it was only a place farther away to imprison me.
After Wu Xia and Yu Jin left, they did not come to see me again, nor did they make a phone call. The reason she treats me so well is only to curry favor with Yu Jin, now that she has achieved her goal, towards me, she naturally doesn't need to spend anymore time and effort. After all, the person who wants to live with her in the future, is Yu Jin, not me.
She is also busy now, so she wouldn't have much time to accompany me. I occasionally heard from Yumann Ting that Grandfather's health is getting worse, and ever since we last went back, he had once again carried out a rescue in the hospital.
Even though my relationship with the old man wasn't very good, he was still my grandfather after all. After my parents died, I wasn't the only one in pain, and he was my father as well. So on the second day after Yumann Ting finished speaking to me, I went to the hospital to see him.
However, just as they walked to the door of the ward, they saw Yu Jin and Wu Xia in the ward, the two of them were talking to the old man.
I stood there watching for a while. I didn't intend to go in, but instead, I withdrew my hand from the door. Just as I was about to turn around and leave, a nurse suddenly appeared behind me.
So not long later, Wu Xia walked out of the room. Upon seeing that the person at the door was me, she immediately walked over with a face full of surprise, and pulled my hand: "Little Wei, you're here, why didn't you go in when you're here? Grandfather was just talking about you."
When Yu Jin and the old man saw me, they immediately dragged me in. Wu Xia dragged me in front of the old man, smiled and said: "Old Gramps, your granddaughter Little Wei is already at the door, you still aren't going to go in, it's all your fault for being too serious, she scares you so much that you can only peek at her from the outside."
Wu Xia's words made Yu Jin glance at me, and after he withdrew her words, he then lowered his head and said to the old man: "The wedding has already been prepared.
To Yu Jin's words, the old man waved his hand and said, "It's fine, my body can handle it. Right now, your mother and I are not here all the time, I have to watch the marriage for them."
After Yu Jin heard the old man's words, he could only compromise and said, "Alright, I will have Doctor Jiang follow you at that time."
After the two of them exchanged a few words, the old man finally looked at me. I immediately called out, "Grandfather."
He nodded, then pointed to the chair across from me. "Sit down," he said.
I could only try my best to sit modestly in front of him. During this time, the old man seemed to want to settle our matters for my parents while his body was still functioning, so he quickly asked me: "What are you planning to do about Chen Feng? "Just drag it out like this?"
It took me a few seconds to answer the rare question he asked me. "Because of the problems with children and property, we still have to talk things over."
The old man said: "Don't come up with this excuse, what's so good about the Chen family's small amount of property? Your mother's wish before I died was to find a good home for you, so before I leave, I naturally have to fulfill this wish of hers. Tomorrow, you and Chen Feng will go and get married. "
After he finished speaking, he immediately turned to the assistant who was looking after him and said: "Jiang Hua, go with her tomorrow. You must definitely watch as they finish the divorce procedures." The old man thought for a moment, then said, "Also, no matter what request the Chen family has in the matter of divorce, you will agree."
With the old man's special assistance, Jiang Hua immediately said after hearing the orders, "Alright, I will follow your instructions."
I didn't expect the old man to be so steel-blooded and decisive, to the point of even saying yes or no. I was just about to say, "Grandpa —"
Before I could finish speaking, Wu Xia immediately got up from the chair and walked towards me. She held my hand and laughed: "Little Wei, I'm a little dizzy.
I glanced at the old man and Yu Jin said from the side, "Little Wei, go out with sister-in-law first."
