Chapter 65 Force Him to Admit
Soon it was New Year's Day.

Director Guo gave the crew a day off.

Most of the people in the crew went home, except Wen Ruoci and Ji Yao.

The two went to the supermarket to buy some snacks to prepare for the New Year's Eve. When checking out, Ji Yao picked up a few bottles of wine.

Wen Ruoci's stomach was not very good, so she didn't drink much. She just took a few sips to fit in with the festive atmosphere.

Ji Yao's alcohol tolerance was actually much lower than she had imagined.

After just two bottles, he got drunk and started acting crazy.

She held Wen Ruoci and cried there.

"You said I like him so much, why did he have to break up with me? Just because I'm not as rich and powerful as that young lady? Can't I bring him resources?"

Ji Yao seemed very heartless on weekdays, but unexpectedly, she also hid a sad secret.

She patted Ji Yao on the back and comforted her, "He doesn't know how to appreciate your kindness. He should be the one who regrets missing you, not you."

Ji Yao cried even harder, "But I really like him, we are childhood sweethearts, how can he just abandon me?"

Wen Ruoci was not very good at comforting people.

Especially now Ji Yao was drunk.

She didn't even know how to reason.

In the end, I had to give up.

"Forget it, just hold me and cry for a while. When you wake up from crying, everything will be over. Tomorrow will be a brand new beginning, and you won't remember anything."

Ji Yao hugged Wen Ruoci and complained intermittently for a while, constantly recalling——

When she was a child, her brother Yan would carry her all the way to the hospital when she accidentally fell. Even though he was thin, he was there to support her at that time.

He would climb a tree just to put the bird he rescued in its nest, and he didn't care even though he was afraid of heights.

Will push her away when her life is in danger.

There is still a huge wound on his back.

I would also carefully coax her because she was sick and didn't want to eat...

……

……

It's a pity that no matter how beautiful the memories are, they cannot withstand the cruelty of reality. They had clearly agreed to come to Beijing to study together and go back together after graduation. However, he was noticed by a rich second-generation lady, so he abandoned her and entered the entertainment industry.

She had not originally thought of entering the entertainment industry, but because her brother Yan had entered the industry, she occasionally thought that since they were in the same circle, there might be a chance for them to meet again.

Ji Yao talked a lot, and then she fell asleep due to exhaustion.

Wen Ruoci stood up and put a blanket over her.

After settling Ji Yao, she moved a lounge chair to the balcony and lay down on it.

Find your forgotten cell phone somewhere.

Many people sent her New Year greetings, but Quan Shijin didn't send her one.

No congratulatory message was sent to her.

She responded one by one.

【Happy New Year. 】

Wen Yanyou seemed to be waiting for her message. When he saw her reply, he quickly sent another photo.
[Sister, this is the red envelope I give you as in previous years. I’ll put it under your pillow. When your crew finishes filming, remember to come back and get it.]

Wen Ruoci looked at the childish Wen Yanyou and felt relaxed for a rare moment. She couldn't help but smile, "Okay."

It was probably because he hadn't seen Wen Ruoci for too long, and Wen Yanyou missed her very much. He only hated that he was still in school. [Sister, I originally wanted to come to the crew to find you, but mom said you were filming on the crew and asked me not to disturb you.]

To be honest, he was quite resentful.

He was just watching from the side, how could I bother him? [The filming will be finished in about a month, I will come back to see you then.]

[Sister, I want a small gift, don’t forget it. ]

Wen Ruoci smiled and said, "I won't forget it."

Put down the phone.

Looking at the silent night sky, a feeling of loneliness suddenly hit me.

Among the thousands of lights in the distance, not a single one is lit for me.

The darkness enveloped me and I was in deep space. I couldn't find the lighthouse or the direction to sail, and I was about to drown.

She closed her eyes and thought of Quan Shijin again unexpectedly.

I don't know what he is doing at the moment.

………………

The Quan family’s New Year celebrations are quite complicated, with one set of procedures after another, and it’s not until seven or eight in the evening that they have to eat.

Quan Shijin has always been averse to being bound by rules, and he rarely came back during the Chinese New Year in the past. This time he was in the capital, and it seemed unreasonable for him not to return to his old house.

The feast could only begin after the sacrificial process was completed.

This time, the old lady specially called Yi Youwei.

Everyone in the Quan family knew what it meant, and they looked at Yi Youwei with interest.

Quan Shijin naturally saw it, but he didn't want to go against the old lady on New Year's Eve, so he didn't say anything.

After drinking a few glasses of wine and saying a lot of blessings, the old lady really spoke, "Shijin, you are not young anymore, how about you and Youwei getting engaged next year?"

Quan Shijin was a little unhappy, but his expression did not change. He glanced at his elder and second brothers, Quan Shize and Quan Shiyue, who were sitting opposite him, and said calmly, "My elder and second brothers are not engaged yet, why should I be in a hurry?"

The old lady knew that Quan Shijin would say this.

If it were in the past, he wouldn't want to rush into getting engaged, that would be fine.

But ever since she got the news that Quan Shijin had a special feeling for Wen Ruoci, she couldn't sleep at night.

Who is Wen Ruoci?

That’s He Ci’s wife.

She never thought that Quan Shijin would be fascinated by beauty one day.

He would never allow any stain to be tainted on Quan Shijin's innocent life.

"Shijin, your elder brother and second brother have already chosen their marriage partners, and they will be engaged soon, so you don't need to worry. Youwei has liked you for so many years, and you have been by my side since you were a child, so I know you inside and out. I hope you can get engaged and married soon, so that I can have a great-grandson sooner."

Quan Shijin held the head of the chair under him, and he was already feeling unhappy.

"What if I just don't want to?"

The old lady looked at him, "Why?"

She actually wanted to know if this boy had the courage to say that he liked Wen Ruoci.

"I have a favorite person."

"Really? Then who do you like?"

Even though Quan Shijin had already drunk a few glasses of wine, his mind was still clearer than ever before, as if water could drip out of it.

He had some idea of ​​what the old lady wanted to do.

Is it to force him?
Either he could say the name of the person he liked, and maybe everyone would be happy. But if he completely pissed off the old lady, he probably would never be able to mention Wen Ruoci's name in the Quan family again.

The empty hall was originally very large, but because of the confrontation between the old lady and Quan Shijin, it became inexplicably cramped. Quan Shize stood up, walked to Quan Shijin with a cup, and said with a smile,
"Shijin, it's rare for you to come back, let's have a few more drinks together, brothers."

Quan Shiyue also stood up, smiling, "Yes, Shijin, you are my brother after all. We two brothers haven't had a drink together for many years. When we were kids, you often stole my wine to drink. Today, you have to accompany me well..."
