Heat up

Fidgeting with the bead curtain, Zhou Xiaojun's fragmentary thoughts gradually became clearer and clearer, "He's the one to talk to. Really, why don't you start a career at such a young age? I won't buy him a big yacht in the future."

"Yes, yes, grandma, please don't brush him again."

The nonsensical topic suddenly dropped, which was incompatible with the atmosphere at the moment.
When Fu Jiaxi realized something was wrong, he could no longer take back his steps.

The three men looked at each other with clear purpose.

Yue Jincheng is profound and heavy.
Yue Yunzong watched the play with a smile.
Yue Shaoheng, who was farthest away, could not control his boiling emotions, tight and sticky.

Zhou Xiaojun held Fu Jiaxi's hand and muttered to herself while walking, "Why did you give me a limit again? It's not okay if I don't use it."

He walked between the three men and stopped.
Zhou Xiaojun's figure was right in front of Yue Shaoheng.

"Grandma, Jiaxi loves you so much. I don't want you to stare at the screen too much." Yue Yunzong joked with a smile, as if nothing happened.

Zhou Xiaojun said, "Yun Zong is jealous, and you love me too. I remember that you are all good children."

The love of the elders cannot be biased. A bowl of water should be balanced and enjoyed happily.

"Okay, you go and take a look in the garden. Your Uncle Li has raised those pots of orchids well." Zhou Xiaojun waved his hand and motioned Fu Jiaxi to leave, then turned to Yue Jincheng, "Come in and light some incense for me." .”

Yue Jincheng followed silently, and when he passed Fu Jiaxi, his steps slowed down for a second.

"Come on, help me." Zhou Xiaojun urged.

The sandalwood incense in the temple is quiet, the curtains half-block the light, the bamboo forest sways in front of the window, and the temperature and air in the ancestral hall become lower and slower.The smoke in the incense burner curls away, and the wind does not disperse it.

The red-brown wooden chairs and the incense table are minimalist in style. The futon on the floor has been used for a long time and has a small arc in the middle.

Yue Jincheng knelt on the futon, his suit pants were wrinkled, and his thin and slender ankles were wrapped in dark tube socks.

He took three sticks of incense from the box.

Zhou Xiaojun said from the side, "I know you are worried about Jiaxi, your mind is not here, or you are blaming me for pulling you away."

"No." Yue Jincheng put the incense sticks together and picked up the match, "Don't think too much about it. It's your birthday today. Please be happy."

Zhou Xiaojun sighed softly, "Although your face is calm, your eyebrows have never been straightened out. This kid Shaoheng is stubborn and stubborn, and he can't hide things."

"Tear--"
The first match was struck, and a small flame burst into flames, then quickly extinguished.

Yue Jincheng said coldly, "He can't hide it only in front of certain people, and it's not just things he can't hide. He wants to dig out his heart and lungs, for fear that I won't see."

"I'm not afraid of you. I clearly want Jiaxi to see it." Zhou Xiaoyun used the knife to make a bloody gash on Yue Jincheng's heart. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I was afraid that you would hold it in and do it." Something stupid happened and you got yourself involved."

There were still sparks on the match head. Yue Jincheng pinched it with his fingertips and pressed it out completely with an expressionless face.

Zhou Xiaojun walked closer slowly, lit the second match, and with trembling hands, gently rekindled the incense stick in his hand that was about to be cut off.

"I know you care about the outside world and don't want Jiaxi and Shaoheng to stay together, but your worry is also a burden to her. Now, you are just the father of her child, not her husband, not her partner, not even Friends don’t count. It’s her freedom to get along with anyone.”

Zhou Xiaoyun put aside the confusion of the person in front of him with good intentions, "Sooner or later you have to adapt, no, you should have adapted long ago."

Yue Jincheng's heart was like an elevator car descending out of control, falling layer by layer.
Loss, unwillingness, and anger all turned into powerlessness and suffering.

He raised his head and looked into the Bodhisattva's eyes.

For so many years, he has worshiped Buddha sincerely, but he has never had too much desire or begging.
The closest he came to faith was when he kowtowed sincerely, holding everything Fu Jiaxi had in his heart.

Outside the Buddhist hall, Yue Yunzong deliberately refused to leave, drinking tea calmly and looking at Fu Jiaxi from time to time.

His gaze seemed kind, but in fact it was sharp and extremely aggressive.
Fu Jiaxi was not afraid. Seeing that his tea cup was empty, he took the initiative to refill it.

Yue Yunzong smiled and covered the rim of his cup, "Hey, how can I trouble you? The visitor is a guest, and the guest should be well entertained and return home after having a good time."

Fu Jiaxi held the tea handle firmly and said with a smile, "Today is to celebrate my grandma's birthday and take advantage of her. I can barely be counted as her guest. But I dare not turn my back on being a guest in front of you. I can join Baifeng and join the investment department. , is a precious opportunity given by you. As my leader, you should respect me, so just give me a chance to refill my tea and refill my water, and thank you, okay?"

He spoke mellowly, turning his deliberate provocation into warm feelings.

Yue Yunzong was defeated, so he could only move his hand covering the mouth of the cup, "I am eloquent, and I am becoming more and more capable."

"It's Mr. Yue's opinion that I will work hard and not be held back."

The light blue dragon well was filled, and Fu Jiaxi put down the tea set steadily.

Yue Yunzong had no choice but to drink up the cup of tea despite her attention. He put the cup on the table gently and gently, his smile not reaching his eyes. "You and your third brother haven't seen each other for a long time, so I won't be an annoying light bulb. You guys have a good time reminiscing."

The yin and yang allusion, if he rushed to explain, it would seem that Fu Jiaxi really had something wrong with him.

Yue Yunzong left, leaving only Fu Jiaxi and Yue Shaoheng.
Fu Jiaxi didn't even look at him and wanted to leave.
The balance that Yue Shaoheng managed to maintain was broken, and he could no longer bear the loss of his chance.

"Jiaxi." He quickly stopped in front of her.

Fu Jiaxi instinctively stepped back and distanced himself, his eyes calm and calm.

"You, how are you doing?" Yue Shaoheng asked.

"Good."

"You please your second brother so much, do you think you're living a good life?" "I work hard, live hard, and have normal workplace social interactions. Why is it not good?" Fu Jiaxi frowned in confusion.

"You would never be like this before." Yue Shaoheng said anxiously, "Why - why do you have to be so humble to your second brother! You clearly lived a good life before and never bowed to anyone!"

Fu Jiaxi smiled lightly, "So in your opinion, I should be pampered and live a life of ignorance? This label is so branded that I don't know how to explain it."

"No, that's not what I meant." Yue Shaoheng said, "I just don't want you to live worse than before, and I don't want you to bow down for the sake of life."

"I didn't have to bow my head before, and it was also because of Yue Jincheng. He gave me a generous life and allowed me to live a good life, but it does not mean that I am weak, incompetent, or afraid of suffering. I don't need anyone to take advantage of this to pity me, and I don't want anyone to take advantage of it. Ridicule him." Fu Jiaxi said calmly and openly, "You are the ones living in the past, not me."

Yue Shaoheng was stunned.
Fu Jiaxi didn't want to say more and turned to leave.

He subconsciously held her hand and said, "Jiaxi, Jiaxi."

"Yue Shaoheng." Fu Jiaxi quickly dodged and scolded in a low voice.

"You don't have to make excuses for your eldest brother. He should have protected you. It was him who failed to fulfill his responsibilities and failed to take good care of you." Yue Shaoheng's eyes were stubborn and his hands did not loosen even a little bit. Instead, he tightened them tighter and closer, " Why do you have to suffer this grievance? You shouldn’t suffer such grievance!"

Fu Jiaxi didn't expect him to be so out of control. There were so many guests outside, so he resisted the pull and didn't dare to make any big move.

I was anxious when suddenly a stern voice shouted, "Third Brother!"

Behind the pillar, Yue Mingxin couldn't stand it anymore and rushed to Fu Jiaxi to protect her, "Third brother, why are you so crazy? Do you want everyone to come and watch? Do you want to hurt Sister Jiaxi?"

Yue Shaoheng hesitated and trembled, Fu Jiaxi took the opportunity to break away and quickly left this place of right and wrong.

Outside the door, there was laughter and laughter, but she remained calm, passing through several prying eyes, just wanting to find a place to hide.Finally, she discovered that in such a huge garden, she was like a headless fly, with no place to stay.

Fu Jiaxi went to the bathroom, locked the door, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

She stared at herself in the mirror in a daze. The situation in the Yue family was like going up a mountain of knives and going down a sea of ​​fire.There are those who stir up trouble, there are those who go crazy at any time, and there are those who are weird.

Fu Jiaxi, Fu Jiaxi...
She patted her face with cold water and smiled to herself. What kind of life has she been living these past few years?

Here.

Yue Mingxin pulled Yue Shaoheng aside and warned solemnly, "Third brother, today is my grandmother's birthday. Do you want her to be uneasy?"

Yue Shaoheng had a handsome figure. When he returned to normal, he still felt a strong sense of oppression. He said, "Who are you doing this to show me when you rush up like this? Even if I call my grandmother to judge, I still have a clear conscience."

"You still let her judge? What's your intention? No, do you still have any intention?" After Yue Mingxin was angry, she said coldly, "Third brother, your memory is not very good. In the past, my eldest brother let you go because my grandmother interceded. Now Just try it once."

Yue Shaoheng said, "You don't need to use this threat. Jiaxi divorced him, why, am I not even qualified to chat with her? How noble can his possessiveness and control be?"

Yue Mingxin has been close to Yue Jincheng since childhood. She is rebellious and speaks bluntly, "You call it chatting just now? Didn't you see that Sister Jiaxi is unwilling? You force others to do something difficult and stalk them. How can you be noble?"

A knife to the heart.

Yue Shaoheng's eyes were burning and he finally broke through, "He was the one who took Jiaxi away! Jiaxi liked me first, she obviously liked me first!"

"Are you crazy, Yue Shaoheng?" Yue Mingxin rolled up her sleeves and tried to gag him, "You don't want Sister Jiaxi to live a good life, do you? What about not first and not last? She married She is your eldest brother, your sister-in-law, and your elder. She is someone you cannot and should not think about."

Yue Shaoheng burst into laughter, his clear eyes turned cloudy, and he was gloomy and incomprehensible, "You are my sister, why are you so double-standard? Now you are kidnapping me with morals. At the beginning, did the eldest brother remember how to write the word 'moral'?" "

Yue Mingxin took a step back, and after a few seconds of silence, he asked word by word, "How can you question your elder brother so openly and with 'morality'? Have you really forgotten what you did - Sister Jiaxi or you?" When you were your sister-in-law, you never gave up your desire for her, never respected seniority, forgot about ethical boundaries, and ignored the brotherhood with your eldest brother. Without Sister Jiaxi’s consent, you insisted on holding her hand and even hugged her At that time, have you ever thought about how to write 'moral' and 'bottom line'?"

The dead silence at this moment contrasted with the laughter and laughter that came from outside from time to time.

Yue Shaoheng was like a depressed puppet, dull and stunned, as if he had been shot in the heart by a cloud-piercing arrow.

"You thought no one saw it, right? Two years ago, in the summer, you hugged Sister Jiaxi from behind and said some stupid things to her, despite her resistance. You thought no one saw it, and you were sure that she would never I will complain to my elder brother. You did harm in the name of love, you bullied her, you embarrassed her, you are so bad."

Yue Mingxin finally couldn't hold it in any longer, and his anger over the injustice destroyed his prestige and forced him to see the truth.

Yue Shaoheng whispered slowly, "You are blaming me, blaming...I made them divorce."

The word "divorce" is too cruel and destructive.
Yue Mingxin's eyes suddenly turned red, "I, I just think...Sister Jiaxi is having a hard time in our family..."

Yue Shaoheng's eyes lit up, "Look, you also think that eldest brother didn't take good care of her, right?!"

"As an outsider, what qualifications do I have to judge the rights and wrongs of others? But there is no doubt about one thing." Yue Mingxin said firmly, "When Sister Jiaxi was in this family, all her happiness was given by her elder brother. You have no place, you It’s weightless, don’t be delusional, you… are nothing.”

Long lasting silence, calm.

Gradually, the two of them noticed something strange at the same time and subconsciously turned their heads in the same direction.

Under the bead curtain, the figure is vaguely tall.
Yue Jincheng was standing there at some point, with a few strands of quiet sandalwood on his shoulder sleeves, but his eyes were as solemn as a blade, and the air was cold.

The author has something to say:
Shaoheng, big courage, big excitement.

Author, let me get jealous and start a fight!
Mr. Yue, call the police.
