In order to celebrate Yu Jin's birthday, I busied myself in the kitchen early in the morning, planning to cook a meal for him. Yu Jin sat in the living room, and when I heard that I was in a fluster, I asked a few times if I needed any help to settle it.
I said, I can do it, I must do it, just let him wait outside.
After two hours, he finally walked out of the kitchen. It was unknown if it was because he was too nervous, but the food he cooked did not even have his usual standard.
Yu Jin pointed to the plate of black vegetables on the table and asked, "What is this?"
I said, "Eggs, eggplants."
Yu Jin raised his brows and asked: "Are you sure?"
I knew I had failed, so I quickly picked up the plate of dark dishes and said, "I will make another one."
After Yu Jin heard what I said, he grabbed my hand and laughed: "I didn't expect you to cook something nice this morning." His tone was full of helplessness as he said, "I think it's better if I do it."
He then skillfully took off the apron on my body, put it on his own, then slowly tied up his sleeves and left for the kitchen.
As I followed him, I naturally felt guilty about following him around. "I can help you wash the vegetables," I said.
But who knew, right after I said that, I bumped into Yu Jin. He glanced at me, and I knew that I was only causing him trouble, so I tactfully left the kitchen.
Just then, the phone in the living room rang. I hastily went to pick it up, but who would have thought that the person who called would be Tan Wan. She smiled and said: "Little Wei, it's Big Sister Xi."
I was a little surprised, I never thought that Tan Wan would actually have my number, I also smiled and said: "Sister Xi, why do you have my home number?"
Tan Wan said through the phone, "I'm looking for someone else to ask for it. "Right, is your brother at your place?"
So she was looking for Yu Jin. I immediately said: "Please wait a moment, I'll give him my phone number."
I quickly took the phone and went into the kitchen. Yu Jin looked at me and explained: "It's a call from Sister Zhi."
I tiptoed and put the phone to his ear.
Not knowing what Tan Wan and Yu Jin were talking about, Yu Jin didn't say much, but occasionally he just said a few words of agreement. After a few minutes of calling, I took the phone from his ear and asked curiously: "Why is she calling?"
Yu Jin said: "There's a meal tonight. "Let me take you there."
I pointed to myself. "Me?"
Yu Jin did not say much, but patted my head and said: "En, the oil in the kitchen is thick, let's go wait outside."
I reacted and didn't stay any longer. After holding the phone, I immediately left the living room.
After arriving at night, Yu Jin brought me to the business club Tan Wan had mentioned earlier in the day. Only then did I realize that the people in the room weren't only Yu Jin's classmates, but also the teachers who had always held him in high regard.
I didn't expect this to happen. I had always been afraid of teachers since I was young. If I knew about this earlier, I wouldn't have come here, and I felt that many people were looking at us. My hands quietly pulled their way out of the palms of my hands, and then, obediently followed Yu Jin inside.
Yu Jin's teachers still recognized me, they knew that I was his sister, and all of them said with a face full of emotion: "Little Wei has already grown up like this?"
Tan Wan quickly pulled me to her side and sat down. Yu Jin's gaze fell on an old man in the middle of the room and said with a smile, "Teacher, happy birthday."
It was only then that I realized that it wasn't for Yu Jin. It was because Yu Jin's university teacher and Yu Jin were born the same day, so everyone in their class came over to help the old man.
That white-haired old man was Yu Jin's counselor during his university days and thought very highly of Yu Jin. At that time, Yu Jin had brought me to visit that counselor's house many times.
When the instructor saw Yu Jin, he patted his shoulder twice and said with a sorrowful sigh, "It's really been many years since we last met."
Yu Jin said with a sigh, "Yes, it has indeed been many years since we last met. How is your body?"
The counselor said, "He's not too bad, but how's your family doing these past few years?"
Yu Jin did not speak, he only laughed and said: "It's not too bad."
The news of Yu Family had been boiling for the past few years, and it was likely that Yu Jin's teacher had read many newspapers about our family's changes in the past few years. Yu Jin's teacher did not go further, but actually talked about the things from the past with Yu Jin.
I was a little awkward sitting there, so I couldn't really speak up. I whispered into Tan Wan's ear, "I'm going to the bathroom."
Yu Jin was currently talking to the teachers, so he didn't pay too much attention to me. After I came out from the private room, I was already fuming outside, and after about ten minutes, I originally wanted to go to the private room, but who would have known that this business club actually had a floating garden.
I walked over, and after approximately half an hour, Yu Jin's phone call came over. After I answered the call, I immediately told him: "I'll be right back."
After I hung up, Yu Jin happened to be standing at the entrance of the private room, as if he was waiting for me. I immediately walked over to him, and he habitually held me in his arms, then lowered his head and asked: "Is it boring?"
"If I had known it would be a celebration for your teachers, I would not have come," I said, holding his jacket in my arms.
Yu Jin embraced me and walked forward as he asked, "Don't you know them all?"
I said, "This is different. He's not my classmate or teacher, and there's always a generation gap between us, so there's not much to talk about."
Just as Yu Jin was about to push open the door and enter the room, I suddenly felt a force pulling me, and in the next second, a palm flew towards me. I didn't know what happened as Yu Jin grabbed onto the hand that looked like my face, I looked up, and realised that it was He Min!
He Min, whose hand was held by Yu Jin, was very angry. It was as if she had drank alcohol, as he said to me with a face full of fury: "You wretched person. You actually carried him on your back and tried to find a man!? "
After she finished speaking, she struggled out of Yu Jin's hands and said: "Let go of me! If you drag me again, I'll shout for help! "
Yu Jin turned his face to look at me and asked: "What's going on?"
I knew that He Min had misunderstood, so I hurriedly walked over to shake Yu Jin's hand and said: "This is a misunderstanding, this girl is Jiang Hua's friend."
Seeing that it was related to Jiang Hua, Yu Jin loosened his grip on He Min's hand, pulled my hand and said: "Let's go." Afterwards, he continued to lead me towards the private box.
But the moment Yu Jin's hand landed on the door of the private room, He Min, who had drank a lot, unwillingly pounced over, and once again grabbed me in his hands. "Don't leave, stand still and explain clearly who the man beside you is!"
Yu Jin did not really like Jiang Hua in the first place, but who knew that this woman who had a deep relationship with Jiang Hua would come here and cause trouble? He stood there and gave Jiang Hua a call, telling him to come over.
And He Min who was drunk and messing around was stopped by the security guards in there, he was battered and exhausted.
When Jiang Hua rushed over, he was waiting for me in the lounge. When Jiang Hua saw He Min in front of us, he immediately guessed what had happened. He immediately walked in front of Yu Jin and apologized: Boss Yu, I'm really sorry.
Yu Jin who was sipping tea, after hearing Jiang Hua's words, put down the teacup in his hand, raised his eyes and said: "Logically speaking, Assistant Jiang, you are the assistant to the old man. I should not have said anything to you, but you should be clear about the situation now." He looked at He Min who was in the bodyguard's hand and asked: "Do you recognize this person?"
Jiang Hua replied with his head lowered, "He's my friend."
Yu Jin said: "Since I'm your friend, how do you plan on dealing with me?"
With the word handling, the manager who was standing by the side stood up and said: "It's like this, this young lady just now attacked a guest. According to our method here, she should be sent to Police Station."
I didn't think it would be so serious, He Min did indeed strike out at me, but she didn't hit me, so I don't need to send him back to Police Station, and Yu Jin isn't usually a person who likes to fuss over things, especially with women.
This time, it's probably because of the matter of Jiang Hua refusing the divorce from me last time, which caused him to be hit on the head.
I hurriedly said to Yu Jin: "We are all acquaintances, she was just drunk and did not hit me, why don't we forget about it?"
But who would have known that these words of mine instead made Yu Jin let out a cold laugh. He did not answer me, but instead continued to ask Jiang Hua, "Assistant Jiang, how do you think we should handle this?"
Jiang Hua glanced at the unconscious He Min and he fell silent. It was very obvious that Yu Jin did not leave him with a way out, and it was even more impossible for him to let He Min actually go to the Police Station. After going to the Police Station s, Yu Jin casually put on a hat for He Min.
It was easy to imagine what this meant to her, who was still in school.
He was silent for a long time, and I still wanted to plead for him. For some reason, Jiang Hua interrupted what he was about to say, and took the initiative to say to Yu Jin: "Boss Yu, please give me face to the old man, He Min drank too much, and did not intentionally offend Miss Yu. It's not appropriate for a girl to go to Police Station …"
Jiang Hua chose to ask Yu Jin for help. When Yu Jin heard Jiang Hua's words, he let out a low laugh and said: "That's right, I also think that it's not really appropriate for a girl to go to the Police Station. The old Gramps thought very highly of you before he died, so I also respect you a little.
Yu Jin was referring to me and Jiang Hua's marriage certificate, so I didn't think that he would use this as an excuse to remove our relationship. I wanted to say something, but because today is Yu Jin's birthday, I endured it once more.
Although it was an impulse to sign the marriage certificate with Jiang Hua back then, and although I had thought about canceling it, but after thinking about it later on, I could still use this matter to negotiate with Yu Jin for the Xiao Jie.
I never thought that he would use such a perverted method to force me, Jiang Hua, to take the initiative and release him from my relationship with me.
The situation in front of Jiang Hua was very clear. Between He Min and I, Jiang Hua could only choose one, and Jiang Hua should also be very clear of what Yu Jin meant.
After Jiang Hua heard what Yu Jin said, he became quiet once again. The hall was filled with people walking in and out, and when Tan Wan saw that we did not enter for a long time, he walked out of the box. Seeing that Yu Jin and I were resting in the hall, he walked over and asked us what happened.
Yu Jin glanced at Tan Wan, and said a short sentence: "It's nothing, I'm just handling some matters with my subordinate."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little serious, Tan Wan looked at me and immediately said with a smile: "Then I'll be going back first, you take care of it, quickly bring Little Wei in as well."
Yu Jin smiled and nodded as he entered the private box. Yu Jin picked up the cup of tea from the table and caressed it, and continued to look at Jiang Hua as he asked leisurely: "Have you thought about it?"
I finally could no longer endure, and said to Yu Jin: "He Min basically did not hit me, Jiang Hua had once done this many years at grandfather's side, Yu Jin, can you not do this?"
I was a little angry, and said: "The one she wants to beat is me, so I am qualified to decide whether or not to pursue He Min."
I stood up from the sofa, walked to He Min's side and wanted to pull her out from the hands of the security guards, but after pulling back a few times, He Min was grabbed by their hands and didn't move at all.
I gave the manager a cold look and said, "Let her go."
When the manager heard my words, he turned to look at Yu Jin, as if he was waiting for his opinion.
Yu Jin did not say anything, neither did he ask the security guards to move, Yumann Ting rushed over, and upon seeing the situation, immediately knew what was going on, and called out to Yu Jin: "Boss Yu."
Just as Yumann Ting finished speaking, just as she was about to say something, Wu Zhijun's voice came from behind us. I turned my head to look, and saw that Wu Zhijun had coincidentally come out from the private box towards us, and I didn't expect that he would be there all of a sudden.
Yu Jin immediately put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, and smiled at Wu Zhijun as he called out to his father-in-law.
There were a lot of people following behind Wu Zhijun, and they were probably business partners. When he heard Yu Jin call him father-in-law, he smiled and said, "Today is your birthday, I was originally going to call you personally to say happy birthday. I didn't expect to meet you here."
Wu Zhijun said. With a glance, he saw Assistant Jiang standing at the side, and then he looked at He Min who was being carried by her bodyguard.
Seeing such a huge battle, he asked, "What happened here?"
A slight smile hung on Yu Jin's lips as he said softly, "It's nothing more than a small matter."
Wu Zhijun swept a glance over Jiang Hua, and then said to Yu Jin, "Since it's a small matter, let's just turn a blind eye and let it pass. It's your birthday today, so don't be unhappy. Why don't we have a meal together?
Yu Jin glanced at Jiang Hua, then smiled and said to Wu Zhijun's invitation, "Since you've said so, I will naturally give face to Father-in-law."
Yu Jin said to the manager at the side: "Release him. It's too harmful for us to send him off to the Police Station just for this reason. "
When the manager heard Yu Jin's orders, he immediately ordered the two bodyguards to put him down. He Min drank the alcohol, the security guards then put him down, and then she fell onto the sofa.
At this time, He Min's classmates rushed over, seeing that He Min was right beside us, they wanted to rush over, but seeing that there were a few people standing behind us, they hesitated, as if not knowing whether or not they should come up.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Jiang Hua instructed the manager. I have to trouble him to bring these people to He Min's classmates.
When the manager heard Jiang Hua's words, he was afraid that the other students would not know their manners, so he asked the bodyguard to carry He Min there.
Yu Jin said with a smile that was not a smile: "Since the matter has been resolved, Assistant Jiang will also go along with it."
Jiang Hua said yes.
I heaved a sigh of relief, Wu Zhijun's arrival was timely, once this matter was settled, the group of people would leave the business hotel and head towards the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Courtyard.
Yumann Ting went to the box to get a leave of absence from Yu Jin. I had originally wanted to go back;
However, on the way to the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Courtyard, Wu Zhijun and I took a car. In the carriage, Yu Jin and Wu Zhijun were talking about business matters the entire time, I could not find a chance to get involved.
When we arrived at the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Courtyard, I gave up. I could only follow Yu Jin quietly by his side, and after the manager led us in, there was already a table of food prepared in the room that was leaning against the carp pond.
After Yu Jin and I sat down, the Assistant Jiang followed and sat by the side.
At this time, Wu Zhijun finally noticed me standing next to Yu Jin. He asked with a hint of pleasant surprise: "Is this your little sister?"
Yu Jin smiled and said, "Mn, yes." Then he placed his hand on my shoulder and softly said, "Little Wei, call me uncle."
In regards to Wu Zhijun's line of sight, even though I didn't really like the way he looked at me, I still smiled and called out to Wu Zhijun: "Uncle."
Even though I had gone to the Wu Family before, Wu Zhijun had never seen me before. He said to Yu Jin: "I often hear from Xiao Xia that you have a little sister, but today is the first time I've seen her."
Yu Jin said: "She doesn't come out with me often."
When he mentioned Wu Xia, Wu Zhijun was originally still smiling, but as if he had thought of something, he sighed and said, "Xiao Xia. It's been two months since we left. "
Yu Jin lifted the pot of tea on the table and changed the topic: "I heard that this year's Dragon Well is producing pretty well.
Wu Zhijun's mood was not as high as it was before, and he remained silent while sitting there.
At this time, Yu Jin suddenly changed the topic to Jiang Hua. He laughed and said: "I heard that many years ago, Assistant Jiang had received support from my father-in-law when he was studying abroad. It was father-in-law took a fancy to the talent of my father-in-law and recommended him to the old Gramps.
Yu Jin seemed to have inadvertently brought up this question, and after Wu Zhijun heard this, he asked: "Where did you say this?"
Yu Jin said, "What's wrong, father-in-law, do you feel that something is amiss?"
Wu Zhijun placed the teacup in his hand down on the table, then snorted: "What nonsense are these people spreading outside? Assistant Jiang and I have not even met twice, how can there be any financial support, it's so absurd. "
Yu Jin observed Jiang Hua for a bit, and then said slowly: "I heard wrong."
Wu Zhijun was especially sensitive to this topic. He coldly laughed and said: "How could I believe that someone outside would say that a good husband kills his wife. How could I believe the words of someone outside?"
Wu Zhijun's words caused the smile on the corner of his mouth to deepen by quite a bit. Although his face didn't reveal it, I don't know why, but I keep having the feeling that and Wu Zhijun aren't as courteous as they seem on the surface.
Instead, something was moving back and forth silently in this private room. The reason why Yu Jin had brought Jiang Hua here seemed to be to probe the relationship between the two of them.
After Jiang Hua left the country to study abroad, he directly went to work for his grandfather. I have heard my grandfather mention Jiang Hua a few times, and I heard that it was only because Jiang Hua's grade was extremely outstanding in school that he was caught by the old man, thus he had never interacted with Wu Zhijun. What did Yu Jin mean now?
The topic of conversation at the dinner table quickly changed, to the point where no one could catch what they were talking about. Soon, their conversation turned to business matters.
Jiang Hua sat there in silence, and would only occasionally answer.
As a small assistant, he naturally wouldn't have too many words to say at the boss' table.
This meal lasted for two hours. At this time, Tan Wan gave me a call, and I looked up at Yu Jin.
When Yu Jin felt my gaze, he looked down at me and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
I said, "Tan Wan called." I thought about it and said, "I'll go out and pick it up."
Yu Jin did not say anything. He rubbed my head and instructed Yumann Ting to follow me. It seemed that he was afraid that I would get lost.
When I arrived outside the private box, I pressed the answer button, and Tan Wan's loud voice came from inside. She said: "Little Wei, where are you and your brother? What's the matter with you two siblings? You just sit there and don't see anyone else. "
The environment here was very quiet. I was afraid that the noise would disturb the people in the other room, so I lowered my voice and said, "We have something to do in the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Courtyard."
Tan Wan said, "At the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Courtyard?"
I said, "Yes."
Tan Wan was very quiet over there. She seemed to be alone, and remained silent for a while on the other end of the phone. Her voice suddenly became extremely serious, "Little Wei, let me ask you a question."
Tan Wan's rare seriousness made me feel that something was amiss. I hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously said: "Big sister Xi, tell me."
Tan Wan did not immediately answer and remained silent for a few seconds. After a long while, she said: "It's like this, it's been a long time since Yu Jin and I last met. You know how I felt towards Yu Jin in the past too. "This time, such a big thing happened in your house …"
Tan Wan has always had an impetuous personality, and has never been dragged so much before. Other than saying this to Yu Jin, I have already guessed what she wanted to say.
She was probably annoyed by her own hesitation and directly said: "If, I'm saying if, Little Wei, if I pursue Yu Jin again, will there be a result?"
