Having been given a second chance at life, who would still want to pursue her?

Inside a bungalow on the mountain.

Suddenly, a shout erupted from both men and women.

"What? My mom's coming today?!"

"What?! My aunt is coming today?!"

Chen Jianji and Zhang Xinyi stared at each other.

Why are you all so agitated?

Wang Suling hurriedly took off her gloves, which were dirty from the work she had just done, and said irritably.

"You sent your classmates off without even telling me."

"Putting everything else aside, you're giving away local specialties, why didn't you bring some for Qingxue?"

"Ren Qingxue got up early in the morning and, knowing we were too busy, offered to help with the cooking."

"They even kindly asked me if I wanted to be one of the workers who were plowing the land and building the new chicken coop on Uncle Zhang's land."

"Look at that pot outside, there's still a whole pot of stewed meat left!"

Chen Jianji subconsciously looked towards the courtyard outside the gate.

He suddenly remembered his question to Lin Qingxue during dinner earlier, asking if she was just pretending.

So it was because the kitchen pots weren't big enough to make enough for so many people?

Thinking about this...

Chen Jianji frowned, his expression turning somewhat unpleasant.

What does she mean by that?

Do you feel guilty if you do something and then hide it, only to let the person involved find out later?

Oh.

He, Chen Jianji, doesn't buy into that.

Wang Suling walked to the dining table, opened the soup pot, and a surprised voice came from behind her.

"Hey, how come we found Bitter Gourd? I rushed to buy it yesterday and was busy slicing meat and setting up the barbecue grill for you guys, I forgot where I put it."

These words were spoken.

Chen Jianji paused as he was about to pick up his cup to drink.

"Mom, didn't you make this soup?"

Wang Suling put the lid back on.

"I don't have time to do that. The temperature machine in the chicken coop went off early this morning. I was busy working, and it only just came down now."

"Your dad is still finishing up, so I rushed back to check on you kids."

"Oh well, they've all left. I'd better hurry back and lend a hand."

"You two stay here by yourselves. Call me if you need anything!"

As she spoke, she put her gloves back on and hurried away.

Chen Jianji watched Wang Suling's departing figure.

His eyes flickered slightly.

Oh.

This just proves it.

Lin Qingxue is a liar, a master of deception!

You can't believe a single thing she does.

Whether in her previous life or not, she endured the unbearable pain of marrying him.

Or perhaps it's because of their recent unusual tendency to keep getting closer to me.

They were all just holding their noses and enduring the discomfort, all for the sake of her so-called bill.

Chen Jianji lifted the water glass again and took a sip.

Just then.

Someone tugged at his sleeve.

"Um?"

Chen Jianji glanced at Zhang Xinyi, who was sitting next to him.

"Hey, do you remember what you said last night!"

This young lady, who was always so arrogant and haughty, now had a face full of anxiety.

Chen Jianji steadily put down his water glass and chuckled.

"Don't worry, look at you, you coward."

"Watch how I do it for you."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xinyi's expression softened slightly, but she still pouted.

"Who said I acknowledged you!"

"Hey, who are you? I only help my sister. What did I promise you? Don't slander me!"

Zhang Xinyi's eyes widened suddenly.

"You're talking nonsense!"

rub!

Chan Kin-kei suddenly stood up, as if to leave.

Zhang Xinyi gritted her teeth, stared at him intently, and after a long while, she finally let out a helpless and frustrated shout.

"elder brother.."

"Huh? I didn't hear you."

Zhang Xinyi was immediately enraged and shouted while clenching her fists.

"elder brother!"

Chen Jianji then patted her shoulder with a smile.

"Haha, don't worry, I'll risk my reputation to keep you here completely."

Zhang Xinyi angrily turned her face away, refusing to look at him.

But after hearing what he said, I couldn't help but add something.

"And my mom, she should stay too."

"Okay, I got it."

Chen Jianji waved his hand.

"I'm going to change my clothes. I was carrying these things all the way here and I'm sweating a lot."

As he spoke, he got up and walked towards his room.

Zhang Xinyi watched his retreating figure and pursed her lips.

"You've never been this particular before? Have you suddenly become unusual?"

After she finished muttering to herself, she looked down at herself.

I realized that today, thinking that the college entrance examination was finally over, I deliberately wore that pretty little dress.

Her hair was also braided into two pigtails on both sides.

This is a major taboo in the family!

Swish!

Zhang Xinyi also quickly got up, just as she was about to go back to her room to tidy up.

Suddenly, a strange shout came from the courtyard outside the gate.

"Zhang Xinyi".

......

Inside the room, Chen Jianji changed out of his gray T-shirt and into dry clothes.

Then they heard some sounds coming from the hall outside the door.

Chen Jianji paused.

We arrived so quickly?

He hadn't seen his aunt for many years.

Let's observe and see how things go.

Thinking about this...

Chen Jianji quietly opened the door and slowly walked out along the eaves of the wall.

The entire scene inside the hall was laid out before us.

On the sofa sat a woman wearing a white shirt and beige trousers.

The woman had long hair and a bare face, but her delicate and pretty features were very pleasing to the eye.

This is Chen Jianji's aunt.

Chen Yueting.

now.

The atmosphere in the lobby was inexplicably somewhat oppressive.

Zhang Xinyi stood in front of Chen Yueting, head down, fingers interlaced under the hem of her clothes, barely daring to breathe.

"How many times have I told you?"

"At your age, you shouldn't dress up or fuss over yourself."

Why can't you ever listen to me?

Chen Yueting's voice was cold, clearly showing her impatience.

"I was at the station just now and I saw a pretty girl in a yellow dress, carrying a backpack. She was a student."

"She was completely distracted because of that man in the gray clothes outside the station, but he wouldn't even look at her."

"Do you think that girl will be unaffected? How many points will she get on the college entrance exam?"

Hmm? Yellow dress? Train station? Gray clothes?

Chen Jianji silently looked down at himself.

Thankfully, it's been replaced.

"Your values ​​haven't even formed yet."

"At your age, dressing up like that just attracts guys who play with women's feelings, doesn't it?"

"What's the point of letting this affect you?"

As Chen Yueting's voice faded away.

Zhang Xinyi finally couldn't help but speak up.

"Mom, I've finished the college entrance exam..."

Chen Yueting had a cold face.

"That won't work either. If you do that abroad, you'll easily attract some ill-intentioned people."

"I'm worried about being in a foreign country, so we'll stay there for a few years. After we finish the project, I'll apply to return to China."

Zhang Xinyi pursed her lips tightly and asked in a low voice.

"Can't we just not go?"

Chen Yueting immediately became angry and pointed outside.

"Not going?"

"Now that you've finished your college entrance exams, I'll tell you the truth."

"Your dad said that if we separate, he won't leave me a single penny!"

"If I don't go abroad, how will I earn money to support my family and pay for your tuition and living expenses?"

...

Chen Yueting kept talking, her voice echoing in the hall.

It seems that he finally revealed to his daughter what he had kept bottled up for so long during his high school years.

Zhang Xinyi could only listen silently with her head down.

While I was just drinking, I caught a glimpse of a head peeking out from the corner of my eye.

She immediately looked at him with a pleading expression.

Chen Jianji immediately and silently shrank back.

Zhang Xinyi's face stiffened, and she looked away with a hint of disappointment.

But just then...

Chen Jianji's voice rang out from beside him.

"Auntie, what brings you here?"

......
