The doctor stitched up Jiang Xiaoya's wound. Her life was no longer in danger. Lin Xiyan had been guarding Jiang Xiaoya.
"Xiyan, Xiaoya is fine. I…"
Lin Xiyan stopped Li Xinyou from speaking. He gently covered Jiang Xiaoya with the blanket and said calmly,""Youyou, let's talk outside."
In the small garden of the hospital, Li Xinyou said guiltily,""Xiyan, I'm sorry about Xiaoya. I didn't expect Xiao Ya to commit suicide."
"Youyou, you don't have to apologize. Xiaoya's matter has nothing to do with you.”
"Xiyan, I know you have other thoughts about Xiao Ya's suicide, but I don't think it's my brother's fault. He loves you very much, so please don't give up on my brother, okay?”
"That's enough, Youyou. I've already made up my mind about this matter. Instead of the three of us being entangled in pain, I might as well let go. Don't do anything else either. That will only embarrass Xiao Ya and me.”
"Xiyan, is there really no room for redemption?”
"You also saw Xiao Ya's appearance. I can't continue to talk about marriage with Yizhuo as if nothing had happened.”
Li Xinyou knew that Jiang Xiaoya's suicide had dealt a huge blow to Lin Xiyan. It seemed that the matter between her brother and Lin Xiyan was irreparable. However, he didn't want to lose Lin Xiyan as a friend because of this matter.
"Xiyan, are we still friends?”
"Aren't we friends?"
It was good that she recognized her as a friend. Li Xinyou hugged Lin Xiyan and said,""Xiyan, you will definitely find a man who loves you more than my brother. You will be happy."
"I will definitely work hard to find it. I'm tired and want to go home to rest. I'll leave Xiao Ya's matter to you.”He needed some time to deal with Li Yizhuo and Jiang Xiaoya.
Li Xinyou knew that Lin Xiyan needed time to soothe her heartache, so she said pitifully,""Have a good rest. I'll convince Mom about Xiao Ya.”
In the end, Li Xinyou persuaded Qin Shuhua to let Jiang Xiaoya enter the Li family, and Liu Xianglan acknowledged Jiang Xiaoya as her goddaughter. The date of the wedding did not change, but the bride's name changed.
After returning from the hospital, Lin Xiyan had been hiding at home and Li Xinyou often came to visit her. Lin Xiyan found all kinds of reasons to avoid him. Li Xinyou knew that Lin Xiyan didn't want to think about Li Yizhuo.
Duan Weilin asked Adjutant Wei to send a letter to Lin Xiyan, saying that they would return to the city a few days later. This was good too. He was not in the mood to deal with Duan Weilin.
On the day of the final exam, Lin Xiyan came to school. He turned a blind eye to the whispers of his classmates behind his back. Now, as long as he handed in his papers after the exam, he would go home. They could naturally find new topics to talk about after the summer vacation in two months.
" Wait, Xiyan, wait for me." Jiang Xiaoya jogged to catch up with Lin Xiyan.
"What's the matter?" Lin Xiyan was very calm.
"I'm sorry, Xiyan. I know I don't have the face to beg for your forgiveness. I'm really sorry.”
"Enough. I don't want to talk about it anymore.”
"Xiyan, hit me. As long as you can forgive me, I'm willing to be beaten to death.”Jiang Xiaoya pulled Lin Xiyan's hand and hit herself.
Lin Xiyan pulled her hand back." Little Ya, don't be like this. I don't blame you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let Mother acknowledge you as her adopted daughter."”
"Really? Thank you, Xiyan. I know you think I'm selfish, but you're my best friend. I hope you can come to my wedding with Brother Li.”
Lin Xiyan smiled bitterly. Her lover was married, and the bride was not her. Why would he go to the wedding venue? Was he going to make a fool of himself? Or pretend to be very happy and give her blessings.
"Little Ya, I said I don't blame you, but I won't give you my blessings either. After all, your unintentional mistake caused me to be laughed at by others. Moreover, if I go, I'll be embarrassed, you'll be embarrassed, and the Li family and the Lin family will be embarrassed.”
"I know, I was selfish." Jiang Xiaoya lowered her head.
"Enough, Jiang Xiaoya. Do you still want to make things difficult for Xiyan?”At some point, Li Xinyou had walked behind them.
Li Xinyou held Lin Xiyan's hand." Jiang Xiaoya, you've already made Xiyan a joke. What else do you want?" If you feel guilty towards Xiyan, you should stay far away from her in the future.”He had always believed that Jiang Xiaoya had an unshirkable responsibility for this incident.
"Youyou, I know it's my fault, so I'm asking for Xiyan's forgiveness.”
"You stole the happiness that originally belonged to Xiyan and you still want her to forgive you. Is that possible? Jiang Xiaoya, don't be too greedy. Besides, are you not responsible for what happened? Don't pretend to be innocent. Xiyan is the most innocent.”
"Alright, Youyou, stop talking. I want to go home.”Some people were already looking at them. Lin Xiyan didn't want to be a laughing stock anymore.
Li Xinyou ignored Jiang Xiaoya and held Lin Xiyan's arm as they got into the Li family's car. The car sped away, and Jiang Xiaoya's originally delicate eyes turned into hatred. Since Li Xinyou said that she had stolen Lin Xiyan's happiness, then from now on, she would definitely get what she wanted by hook or by crook. As for Lin Xiyan and Li Xinyou, he would no longer humbly beg them.
Lin Xiyan asked Li Xinyou to send her to the bookstore. She bought some books from the bookstore and hailed a rickshaw home. There was a car parked in front of the house. It was Long Qian's.
"Xi 'er, you're back. Chief Long has been waiting for you.”Lin Sihan couldn't hide the joy in his heart.
"Uncle is an elder, just call me Long Qian.”Long Qian said.
Lin Sihan couldn't hide the joy in his heart. What kind of person was Long Qian? Everyone in the city called him Master Long. He called him uncle and acknowledged himself as a junior in front of him. What an honor this was. It seemed that the marriage between the Long and Lin families was not far away.
"What kind of person is Chief Long? Coming to my humble abode is already giving me face. Xi 'er, why are you still standing there? Come and sit down.”
Lin Sihan's face was like a brothel madame. Lin Xiyan sat beside Long Qian.”
"Grandmother has been thinking about you these past few days. I know you have an exam, so I didn't dare to disturb you. Are you done?”Long Qian asked gently.
"The exam is over. Brother Long, I'll go upstairs and put the books away…"
"Miss, Madam is not feeling well. Quickly go upstairs to see Madam.”Before Lin Xiyan could finish, Aunt Wu rushed down from upstairs.
Mother is not feeling well. Lin Xiyan said to Long Qian apologetically,"Brother Long, I'll go upstairs to see my mother first."”
"Go, I'll wait for you."
Lin Xiyan hurried upstairs. Liu Xianglan knelt in front of the Buddha statue and chanted sutras. She did not feel any discomfort.
"Mother, stop chanting if you're not feeling well. Hurry up and lie down on the bed.”
"Mother is fine. Mother just doesn't want you to go to the Long family."
"Why? Granny is sick." Lin Xiyan looked at Liu Xianglan in confusion.
Liu Xianglan pulled Lin Xiyan to sit down and said meaningfully,""In the past, you were the Li family's unmarried daughter-in-law. When you went to the Long family, either Youyou or Yizhuo accompanied you. Naturally, no one could say anything about it. Now, if you go to the Long family right after breaking off your engagement with Yi Zhuo, others will say that you seduced Chief Long and that's why the Li family broke off the engagement.”
Lin Xiyan understood that this was the so-called gossip. He remembered that the famous movie star Ruan Lingyu from the Republic of China had committed suicide and left behind her last words.
"Mother, I told you that I only went to the Long residence for granny.”
"Mother knows, but others don't. There were some things that were not good as long as one felt that one had a clear conscience. There were also rumors that could be feared. Xi 'er, don't go, okay? At least don't go now. Wait until the matter between you and Yizhuo is over and no one will talk about it again before you go to see your mother-in-law.”
Liu Xianglan did it so that she would not be criticized by others. Lin Xiyan nodded,""Brother Long is still waiting downstairs. I'll go and tell him.”
"Go ahead."
Lin Xiyan went downstairs and apologized to Long Qian,""I'm sorry, Brother Long. My mother is not feeling well and I have to take care of her, so I can't go see my mother-in-law.”
"It's okay. Your mother's health is important. Grandmother is just in a moment of anger.”Long Qian was a little disappointed, but he didn't insist.
"Xi 'er, it's useless for you to stay if your mother is not feeling well. I'll go and get a doctor. You should go and visit the old madam with Chief Long.”There was a time limit to a man's novelty towards a woman. Now that Long Qian had a good impression of his daughter, she had to strike while the iron was hot and not let him die.
"I'm fine. Let Xiyan take care of Madam. I'll send someone to pick her up in a few days.”Long Qian turned to Lin Xiyan and said," Xiyan, I've also heard about what happened to you." Don't think too much. You deserve the best.”
Lin Xiyan forced a smile and said,""Brother Long, don't worry. I'm fine now. I'll go upstairs to see my mother first. Please help yourself, Brother Long.”
Long Qian looked at Lin Xiyan's back, and the corners of his mouth revealed a faint smile. To be honest, he was happy when he heard that Lin Xiyan and Li Yizhuo had canceled their engagement. There was no rush now. When Lin Xiyan was in a better mood, he would make her fall in love with him.
"Uncle, I still have some matters to deal with in the gang. I'll take my leave first.”
"Take care, Chief Long. Come over often when you have time.”Lin Sihan smiled obsequiously.
After Long Qian left, Liu Junru walked out and said in a strange tone,""Master, shut your mouth. Lin Xiyan hasn't married Master Long yet.”
"This will happen sooner or later. This Chief Long always had a cold face to others. Didn't you see how gentle he was to Xi 'er and how he smiled when he looked at her? Who had ever seen Chief Long smile? Moreover, what he said to Xi 'er was very meaningful.”Lin Sihan understood the meaning in Long Qian's words and saw Long Qian's imperceptible smile.
"Old Master is dreaming too much. Be careful that it will be in vain, just like the marriage with the Li family.”Liu Junru didn't want Lin Xiyan to marry into the Li family, nor did she want her to rely on Long Qian.
"Bah, what nonsense. Could Li Yizhuo compare to Chief Long? Chief Long was patiently coaxing Xi 'er now. If he lost his patience that day, he would have tied her to the bed. At that time, even if Xi 'er only became Chief Long's wife, it would be better than marrying Li Yizhuo.”With Long Qian's relationship, his business would naturally flourish.
Liu Junru was not surprised that Lin Sihan only treated Lin Xiyan as a money tree.
"Old Master, I heard that the Li family has also given our Lin family a lot of benefits in order to appease you.”
Li Rongchang knew that he owed Lin Xiyan, so he handed over all the purchasing matters of the municipal government to him. Lin Sihan revealed a greedy smile. Without this benefit, who would be his daughter-in-law's family?”
"Master, now that we have the business with the city government, we have no in-laws with the Li family. When will we get the money from Liu Xianglan? You know, those noble ladies I associate with are all first wives, and I'm the only one who's a second wife. I don't even have the face to go out and socialize.”Liu Junru said coquettishly in Lin Sihan's arms.
"We can't rush this. Let's see how Chief Long and Xi 'er develop. Baby, go back to my room and give me a massage. I've been exhausted these past few days.”Lin Sihan carried Liu Junru upstairs.
Liang Yan walked out of the kitchen and heard their conversation clearly. So this was what they were planning.
