When Jiang Yanjin came home from school, she started to review her homework as soon as she entered the door.
Jiang Yanyu didn't go out today.
She read some idle books.
Seeing his brother working hard without even eating when he came back, Jiang Yanyu was slightly surprised: "What's wrong with you?"
"I missed too many classes and failed four subjects. The teaching secretary came to see me specially. Fortunately, it was a small test. If it was still like this at the end of the semester, I would have to be expelled from school." Jiang Yanjin said.
Jiang Yanyu: "..."
Because Jiang Yanjin had to sneak out to pick up tasks and take care of business, she didn't have much time for class.
He was miserable this time.
He used to sprint towards the end of the semester and get through it.
"...You didn't go out with Sheng Yun today?" Jiang Yanjin asked her again.
Jiang Yanyu hesitated: "No."
"What's going on, two people quarreling?" He put down the book and asked the old woman to go to the kitchen to bring the food over and chat with his sister.
"No, there was no quarrel." Jiang Yanyu cheered up, "There is no need to meet every day."
Jiang Yanjin looked at her.
She is a girl who can't hide anything. Jiang Yanjin feels that she has a lot on her mind.
"Tell me about it," he said. "If you don't tell me, I might not be in the mood to study hard. If I get kicked out of school, it will be your responsibility."
Jiang Yanyu stared at him in shock, speechless for a moment.
Before eating, she hesitated and said nothing; after eating, she seemed to have some strength and her mood improved, so she told her brother everything that had happened in the past few days.
The good old man's emotions exploded in just that moment.
Jiang Yanyu's grievances had accumulated to a certain extent, and she began to slack off in her work.
"...If you don't like him, you can break off the engagement. A'yu, you know that your brother can support you and give you a lot of dowry. I will send you to Hong Kong to study and live, and find a suitable husband in the future." Jiang Yanjin said.
He had reminded her before, and even scolded her, saying that Sheng Yun was not a good person.
She was stubborn and couldn't listen.
If that's the case, then don't tell the truth.
He just let her know that after leaving the family, the brothers and sisters still have a way out.
Her brother's money can allow her to live the good life she wants.
"I'm just..." Jiang Yanyu's emotions were like a cloud of accumulated emotions, suffocating her, "I'm just tired and want to take a break temporarily."
She seemed to understand her mother.
When my mother was young, she compromised. Apart from her children and family, she probably still had some illusions about her father.
Later she wanted to break up, just like how she felt disheartened when she saw Sheng Yun being held down and beaten by his attendants for standing up for his sister.
I wish he could die!
How could he make her so sad and yet be so incompetent?
He couldn't have both, so she couldn't even find an excuse to deceive herself.
The only thing that makes Jiang Yanyu not like her mother is that she still has Sheng Yun in her heart.
No matter how sad, uncomfortable, or disappointed with him, it seems that I don't completely stop loving him.
She is just confused.
"I want to hide from him." Jiang Yanyu sighed deeply, "Yun Qiao doesn't like Sheng Yun. I think she is right. She sees people more accurately."
Jiang Yanjin frowned slightly: "Don't think like that. Yun Qiao doesn't like Sheng Yun, but Sheng Yun tried to hit her with his car. Just because you like her doesn't mean you are a bad person."
Jiang Yanyu laughed: "You failed in four subjects, how can you still comfort me?"
"This is a test. If you fail the four subjects at the end of the semester, you will be as far away from death as you are." Jiang Yanjin said.
Jiang Yanyu: "..."
So ruthless, this must be her brother.
"Ayu, I still say the same thing, I hope you can go to school and be like a new-style woman. I hate people calling you Lingdang, as if your brilliance needs the help of the wind.
Without external force, you yourself will be like a piece of rusty rag, worthless hanging there. You are not like this, you can also be a seed, trying hard to absorb nutrients in the dark, and break out of the ground.
Whether it grows into a big tree that can be a pillar, or blooms an inconspicuous little yellow flower, you live because of yourself." Jiang Yanjin originally planned to shut up, but she couldn't help but persuade her.
He said this many times.
And Jiang Yanyu seemed to have listened to it for the first time.
"You're right, brother," she said, "I really should learn something."
Jiang Yanjin was slightly surprised: "Have you figured it out?"
Jiang Yanyu: "Yeah. Because I recently understood a truth."
