There was shock in Jiang Sui’s eyes, and she didn’t come back to her senses until Chi Yan walked out of the shop.
Chi Yan meant that he liked her?
But how was that possible?
Seeing her sitting there blankly, the boss asked, “Student, are you ready to eat? It’s getting cold.”
Jiang Sui came to her senses: “I won’t eat anymore.” She paid the bill and walked out of the store. She no longer saw Chi Yan, as if the brief conversation just now was her illusion.
She seemed to be in a ridiculous dream. Jiang Sui didn’t go to the building where Chi Yan worked. Now she was a little panicked and simply ran away and went back to school.
On the other side, Chi Yan returned to the building and knocked on Shui Yang’s desk: “Are you very free?”
Shui Yang touched his nose: “Not free, there are many things to do.”
Chi Yan said, “Don’t be so smart next time.”
Shui Yang carefully looked at Chi Yan’s expression. The boss looked neither sad nor happy, seeming depressed yet relieved. Shui Yang couldn’t figure out what he meant and didn’t dare to speak for a while.
Chi Yan said, “Let’s put that piece of land aside for now. Don’t worry about it. Let’s take care of the pearls on Hengxia Island first.”
Only he himself could understand Chi Yan’s mood. He really liked her and had been in love with her since he was young. However, he had never intended to tell her, but he could not resist the temptation of having a meal with her.
He felt ashamed that his emotions were easily controlled by others.
Before Chi Yan left work, he was still in a bad mood and smoked a few more cigarettes.
Shui Yang drove Chi Yan’s car and asked with a smile: “Boss, do you really like her?”
Chi Yan glanced at him, the look was shallow and indifferent, but Shui Yang felt a chill in his heart as Chi Yan said, “Don’t ask about some things, and what happened today is the last time.” After a long time, he said, “In the future, I won’t like her anymore.”
Shui Yang sighed and his smile disappeared: “Don’t worry, I’m keeping an eye on Li Zi.”
Chi Yan was a little tired and rubbed his forehead.
Shui Yang felt a little uncomfortable. Chi Yan was now in a good position. It was said that Chi Yan was the successor of Master Yue Sanye, but this title was earned at the cost of his life. Chi Yan was lucky, so he returned to R City to be a boss, while Dai Youwei, who had worked hard with Chi Yan, became a vegetable and was even now lying on the hospital bed.
Chi Yan came back to open up the market for the aging Yue Sanye, but how could this old fox trust him? Li Zi was sent with them to monitor him.
Even if Chi Yan wanted to send Li Zi away, he had to consider Dai Youwei who was still on Hengxia Island. Dai Youwei blocked Chi Yan’s danger and became what he was now.
In this way, Yue Sanye gave up his power to him but put invisible chains on Chi Yan.
Mr. Yue Sanye also knew that this young man had grown too fast. He had thus always been looking for Chi Yan’s weakness. However, Dai Youwei in the hospital bed obviously could not satisfy Mr. Yue Sanye.
Chi Yan could play with women and be promiscuous, but he just couldn’t like anyone.
Shui Yang said: “You don’t like her that much, right? Boss, just think about it after seeing her a few times. I think she hasn’t understood things yet, so you should be more open-minded. Wait until San…that person is dead, then you can always meet someone you like more.”
Chi Yan remained silent for a long time. When the car passed the second bridge, Shui Yang heard him say, “Yeah.”
The low voice made people feel sad for no reason.
However, Shui Yang knew that Chi Yan would be able to stand up soon. The first time Shui Yang saw him was on Hengxia Island.
There was a man under Master Yue Sanye who liked to humiliate people.
He asked Chi Yan and Dai Youwei to lie on their stomachs as stepping stones for him to get on the car. Dai Youwei was pressed down by someone, looking humiliated. But Chi Yan was calm and almost indifferent. At that time, Shui Yang couldn’t help but look at Chi Yan several times. This man was either born with a slave mentality or he was cruel to himself.
Shui Yang felt that Chi Yan was not the former.
Sure enough, within less than a year, Chi Yan became Yue Sanye’s right-hand man. The man who had humiliated him and Dai Youwei was said to have died on a woman’s body soon after.
Chi Yan calmly went to burn incense to pay his respects at his funeral.
He had nothing, so he could endure all the hardships in the world.
Shui Yang thought, if Chi Yan said he didn’t like her, then he must really not like her. After all, he had to go down this road. If he really fell in love with someone, he would have to kneel down without dignity and value.
Jiang Sui was “scared” by Chi Yan’s sudden words last time. Fortunately, nothing happened after that day. Chi Yan never looked for her again, and even two days later he sent someone a letter saying that the house in the courtyard was temporarily saved and that he would not buy her house again. He even said that the original residents could come back to live in these houses when he was no longer using them.
Jiang Shuisheng was very happy to hear this. With the clear message, he finally felt relieved: “This boss is really a good person. He is willing to let people live here for free.”
Jiang Sui’s mood was very complicated. In fact, there were very few people in this compound who were friendly to Chi Yan. It was indeed very graceful for him to repay evil with kindness in this way.
However, there were still a few families left in the compound.
There were only a few families, including Zhao Nan’s family, Liang Qian’er’s family, and Sun Xiaowei, who couldn’t even be beaten away by his father. In addition, there were several neighbors who wanted to stay.
Zhao Nan’s family was in a very special situation, so Chi Yan did not buy their house. Zhao Songshi and Deng Yulian were very happy to learn that the dilapidated house could be sold for a good price, but Chi Yan said coldly that the house in the north was not needed.
This story made people laugh for a long time, and Zhao Songshi and his wife were almost angered to death. For them, it was very uncomfortable to watch others sell their houses and take the money while they had to guard their poor and shabby house.
As for Liang Qian’er’s family, they thought it would be a waste to move if they could live here for free.
However, the peaceful days did not last for more than a few days. In November, something happened that she could not bear. Chi Yiming, for some unknown reason, moved into the compound in a grand manner.
He was followed by a group of followers, all readily calling him Master Chi.
Chi Yiming got off a luxury car, looked at Jiang Sui’s house first, and then said slowly, “Let’s go live in the north.”
His assistant Dong Yi directed the people, and a group of people went to Zhao Songshi’s house.
The noise shocked the whole courtyard. Jiang Shuisheng was still handling the goods, but he was afraid something would happen when he heard this, so he wanted to go over and have a look: “Zhao Songshi and his wife have been unkind to them for years. Is that Chi Yiming? He seems to be seeking revenge.”
Jiang Sui: “…” He must be seeking revenge. Chi Yiming was so stingy, how could he easily let go of the Zhao family who treated him badly at that time.
Jiang Sui couldn’t persuade her father, so she had no choice but to follow him.
At the far north, Chi Yiming had crossed his legs leisurely, while Zhao Songshi and his wife stood submissively in the courtyard, and Zhao Nan’s face was ashen.
Chi Yiming was playing with the tattooed letters “y” on his fingers. Jiang Sui watched from a distance. Now there was only a “y” on his ring finger. He had also enthusiastically tattooed an “s” next to the “y” at the beginning, which scared her a lot.
Deng Yulian laughed out: “Our Yiming is promising. I thought at that time that you have a good brain and you are handsome. You must be no ordinary child.”
Chi Yiming pounded the table and laughed without giving her any face.
Deng Yulian was still laughing but couldn’t hold back the anger from showing on her.
Chi Yiming said, “My uncle and aunt welcome me so much, so I’ll stay here to show my filial piety. But in your house, only the master bedroom and the second bedroom can be lived in. Dong Yi and I are living there, so where can you live?” He smiled and said, “Oh, there’s also a utility room.”
Zhao Nan couldn’t help but burst out: “You!”
Chi Yiming gave her a disgusted look, and Deng Yulian quickly dragged Zhao Nan back.
Zhao Nan looked at the crowd for help, as if hoping that the old neighbors would speak up for her family. Several people turned their heads away, pretending not to see her look. Sun Xiaowei was also there, but the boy frowned and did not come forward. Others did not understand, but Sun Xiaowei was the son of an official, and he knew clearly in his heart that Chi Yiming was not someone to be trifled with.
After receiving Zhao Nan’s gaze, Liang Qian’er, who was watching the excitement from a distance, hurriedly pulled her mother to leave.
Who are you kidding, now she just wished Chi Yiming would stop thinking about her.
Hong Liyun opened her mouth but was pulled away by her daughter.
Jiang Shuisheng couldn’t stand it anymore. In his opinion, the one who had it the worst wasn’t Chi Yiming, but Chi Yan. Even though the couple went too far, they still gave Chi Yiming food to eat and allowed him to study for many years. Jiang Shuisheng didn’t know about the compensation, so in his opinion, Chi Yiming’s behavior was a bit too much.
However, he also knew that it was not a good idea to interfere in other people’s family affairs, so he did not force himself to intervene.
Jiang Sui breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, although her father was kind and honest, he was not impulsive and one to needlessly cause trouble.
Chi Yiming: “Dong Yi, come here and send a red envelope to my old neighbors.”
Then he turned his eyes and took two red envelopes from Dong Yi. He walked towards Jiang Shuisheng, and his expression became serious and sincere: “Uncle Jiang, thank you for taking care of me back then. This is my gift, please keep it.”
Jiang Shuisheng waved his hand and sighed: “I can’t accept this, it’s good as long as you live well.”
Chi Yiming knew Jiang Shuisheng’s character, so he didn’t force it and looked at Jiang Sui again.
There was a little more smile in his eyes: “Jiang Sui, what about you? Do you want it?”
Jiang Sui thought, you are sick.
She said, “No.”
Chi Yiming put it in his pocket: “Okay.” He turned his back to Jiang Shuisheng and looked at the girl’s forbearing face, feeling extremely happy.
I know you hate me, but you can’t so anything to me.
Jiang Sui couldn’t bear it anymore and called Jiang Shuisheng to go home together.
She heard that since then, Zhao Nan’s family had been squeezed into the utility room.
The courtyard was now considered a place that Chi Yan hated, and he didn’t want to care about it, but Chi Yiming made the scene so grand that it was impossible for him not to know.
Chi Yan suddenly remembered that night many years ago when Chi Yiming had said: “I will buy a big house in the future but won’t allow our aunt or Zhao Nan to live there. I will have two roast chicken, I’ll eat one and throw one away, but won’t let Zhao Nan have it even if she is too greedy to eat.”
At that time, Chi Yan just listened calmly without expressing any thoughts.
He didn’t feel much hatred, and sometimes he was even a little numb.
He was born in a humble family and was not a favored child like Chi Yiming. Even if Chi Yiming was down and out for a while, he could become someone else’s treasure in the future.
But Chi Yan was different, he had wandered for a long time.
He had seen the dark nights with rats scurrying around, and he had also eaten the snow that had not yet melted in winter.
Chi Yan had seen too much malice, and after a while he became a little numb. The desire for revenge was still there at the beginning, but then gradually faded away.
As a result, Chi Yiming would still take revenge, but Chi Yan rarely did.
All his emotions were limited to the time when he fell down the hill in the autumn, to Jiang Sui’s gentle comfort and the fragrance and warmth of her clothes.
Chi Yan remembered that Chi Yiming liked Jiang Sui when he was in the third grade of junior high school.
Even though his younger brother smiled maliciously, he still couldn’t hide his special love for Jiang Sui.
Chi Yan also liked her.
He loved her so much that he really wanted to throw Chi Yiming away.
However, when Shui Yang asked him whether he cared, Chi Yan heard himself calmly say: “I’ve already said it before, I don’t care.”
