Jiang Jianmin looked at his daughter, he hadn't seen her for so many years, she still hadn't changed, but did she still mind what happened back then?
"Ruoxi." He took a few steps and called her name softly.
"What do you want to do here?" Jiang Ruoxi looked at the man in front of her. She didn't expect that after not seeing him for several years, he would be so much older, his hair would be much grayer, and he would lose the majesty he once had as the chairman of a ** enterprise.
Her indifference made Jiang Jianmin pause again, "Ruoxi, let's go sit in the cafe opposite, okay?"
"I'm not free." Jiang Ruoxi turned around and wanted to leave.
"Ruoxi, do you hate me?" Jiang Jianmin knew that she was back. He had wanted to come to see her for a long time, but he was afraid that she would miss him, so he never dared to come. If Jiang Ruoya hadn't been making trouble at home every day, he would have had no choice but to come.
Came for it proactively.
And Jiang Ruoxi's attitude was also what he expected. It was his fault back then.
"These are not important. The important thing is that we have no relationship, right? Mr. Jiang." Jiang Ruoxi clarified the relationship. She is an orphan and has no relationship with the Jiang family.
"Ruoxi, actually, I've been worried about you all these years." Jiang Jianmin reached out and took her hand, "I'm old, and I want to talk to you about some things. I won't delay you for a long time.
.”
"Okay! I'll only give you ten minutes." After Jiang Ruoxi finished speaking, she walked directly towards the coffee shop opposite.
Seeing that she agreed, Jiang Jianmin immediately followed her, and the two of them walked into the coffee shop one after another.
On the first floor of Yan Group's office building, a stalwart figure stood there, looking at the coffee shop opposite.
"Boss, do you want to go over and take a look?" Shi Lei stood behind him and asked.
Leng Yan turned around and sat down on the sofa in the hall, "No need. She can do it. I don't think Jiang Jianmin will do anything to her."
There was remorse and guilt on his face. After so many years, he and Ruoxi should have something to say.
"You are obviously worried, but you still don't admit it." Shi Lei looked at Leng Yan and muttered in a low voice.
In the coffee shop, Jiang Ruoxi and Jiang Jianmin sat face to face. They each ordered a cup of coffee, "Ruoxi, how have you been in the past few years?"
"I'm living a good life, haven't you seen?" Jiang Ruoxi held the water glass tightly with a smile on her face.
"As long as you live a good life, that's good." Jiang Jianmin nodded, with relief on his face.
"If you have anything to say, just say it! Didn't you come to me to care about my life?" I haven't cared about it for twenty years. Now, after nearly six years of separation, when we meet again, there is nothing but strangers.
.
The father's love she once wanted so much, but at that moment she learned that she was only adopted, she no longer looked forward to it.
She was afraid that if she looked forward to it too much, she would be disappointed in the end. The middle-aged man in front of her was not her father, but Jiang Ruoya's.
Although Jiang Ruoya has a bad temper, she envies her very much. Jiang Ruoya has been loved by her parents since she was a child, but she has not.
"Actually..." Jiang Jianmin said half of what he said, but still didn't say it. "Actually, it's nothing. I just heard that you were back and wanted to come and see you."
"Heard? Listen to what Jiang Ruoya said?" Jiang Ruoxi has always understood that no matter what Jiang Jianmin thinks, it was just a misunderstanding when he adopted her, just because she looked like someone in his heart. He was pitiful
She was the only one who would adopt her, and he felt that she was a thorn in their Jiang family's side in front of him, reminding them from time to time that she was redundant and a stumbling block to the harmony of their family.
Jiang Jianmin didn't answer, so he acquiesced.
"What's the purpose of asking you to come?" It's the Jiang family's style to not go to the Three Treasures Hall for any reason. Maybe it's because of school matters, but she can't make the decision.
"It's nothing, it's just a trivial matter, so don't mention it." Jiang Jianmin decided not to mention it, "It's noon, how about we have a meal together?"
Jiang Ruoxi shook her head, "I still have an appointment. If there's nothing else to do, I'll go back first."
"Ruoxi, I know you must have resentment towards me, but after all we have lived together for twenty years, are you still willing to recognize me as your father?" Jiang Jianmin is old and has lived under the same roof for twenty years.
It's not that he has no affection for her, he already regards you as his biological daughter. However, Zhao Yufen still can't accept Ruoxi in her heart.
In this life, he has owed too many people, and perhaps he will never be able to make up for it.
"Mr. Jiang, I am an adult now, and I have become a mother. I don't need anyone to pity me. The word father is too unfamiliar to me, and I don't need it. From now on, don't come to me if you have nothing to do.
I'm gone." Jiang Ruoxi stood up and left quickly, she almost ran away.
Jiang Jianmin looked at her back and sighed heavily. After all, she still blamed him.
Jiang Ruoxi ran into the lobby and met Leng Yan who had just walked out of the elevator. She ran directly over and threw herself into his arms.
Leng Yan was stunned by her actions, then smiled and hugged her into his arms, "What's wrong?"
"Ahem." Shi Lei coughed lightly. The relationship between the sister-in-law and the boss is progressing very quickly!
"Shi Lei, you go first, I'll go back later." Leng Yan took her into his exclusive elevator again, while Jiang Ruoxi's face was still buried in his chest, and his clothes were wet with two lines of tears.
"Who bullied you? Huh?" His big hand patted her back, comforting her gently.
It wasn't until the two of them returned to the office that she raised her head and said, "It's nothing, I just felt sad suddenly."
"Silly girl." Leng Yan hugged her and sat on the sofa, holding her in his arms, "Who did you go to see just now?"
"I don't know if I can still call him dad now. He is not my dad." Jiang Ruoxi's hands tightly grasped the hem of his clothes, feeling extremely conflicted in her heart.
Leng Yan stretched out his hand to wipe away her tears. He knew that she was a soft-hearted person. When Jiang Jianmin came to her, she began to feel sad. Even if she was not her biological child, then she was once a member of the Jiang family.
"Have you softened your heart?" Leng Yan kissed her forehead. He also softened his heart back then, didn't he? He returned the Jiang family's villa to the Jiang family, he paid for the medical expenses and cured Jiang Jianmin's disease. Everything was fine.
It's because of Ruoxi.
"But I don't want to admit it anymore. You know how it feels to be stabbed deeply after being full of expectations. It hurts so much. I would rather I never grew up in the Jiang family." Jiang Ruoxi didn't dare. She was afraid of that kind of disappointment.
despair.
The Jiang family had never treated her as a family member. What they wanted was to get money after money from her. The last money was all her savings, so they used that money to cut it off.
All in all, she repaid them for their upbringing, so it no longer mattered.
"If you didn't grow up in Jiang's family, how could you marry me back then?" Leng Yan smoothed her soft hair.
Even though it was a marriage transaction at the beginning, a business marriage between two families, he still fell in love with her, this beautiful little woman who was kind and strong.
