C69 (2/2)
He panted heavily. He couldn't help but stand up and take two steps towards her, but then he suddenly stopped. His expression finally revealed a little disinterest. ”I understand.”
Ru Yi managed to suppress the pain in her heart with great difficulty. She turned around and handed him the chain in her hand. ”I got this from Gao Qianqian.”
Xue Chaoyun silently received the money. It still had a bit of warmth and moisture to it, but when he thought about how he would often rub it with his hands, his eyes darkened.
The two of them stood facing each other silently. The light of the lamp flickered, gently swaying along with their shadows.
Ru Yi waited until the tears on her face dried before saying, ”Go back and let Zhou Xuan send you back. If he doesn't look for you in the future, don't listen to others.”
Xue Ning Yun nodded. As he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of Xue Liyun and turned to tell her, ”Xue Liyun and the rest aren't good. You should be on guard.”
Ru Yi was stunned. ”I didn't know them before, or perhaps I've seen them before, but I found out today that she might be your sister. We don't have any conflicts of interest. Besides, what could she have done to me?”
Xue Xianyun said in his heart that he hadn't wrongly accused her of not knowing who she was, ”Second House has a life and death grudge with my family. When my mother was pregnant with me, she suffered a lot and almost lost her life.”
Ru Yi hurriedly nodded. ”I understand. Don't worry, I won't be in contact with her in the future.” Then he muttered, ”I thought it was your sister who …”
He was feeling rather downcast.
She didn't have any sisters, and the few noble girls she had were all very respectful to her, so it was natural for her reading companions to be around her. However, as she grew older, she didn't have the intimacy she had as a child.
In recent years, she had always kept herself isolated. Even Feng Lin had to rely more on her than her sisters.
Occasionally, she would think of her childhood friends in Pingxian, Spring Flower, Ji Ming, and even Qiao Yun, who had always been choking her, and now that she thought about it, she no longer felt so hateful.
Xue Xianyun understood her loneliness, but he also hated her. In this way, he could not help but sound a little angry, ”It's not a sister. It's so annoying. They live in our house, and they live in the main house. They let my parents and I live in the same small yard.”
As she spoke, she rolled her eyes at Ru Yi, her voice finally filled with hidden bitterness.
Ru Yi's eyes widened. ”How could Aunt agree? I think Aunt is very powerful! ”
”The Old Ancestor of the Second Branch is still alive and can be considered to be my father's aunt. No matter how powerful my mother is, she can't disobey her elders!”
Ever since he was young, his body wasn't well and his temperament was quite good. In addition, he stayed on the mountain with his master for a few years. He couldn't help but feel somewhat dissatisfied with the filial piety of the secular world.
The will was dispirited.
”When I was young, Aunt doted on me. I wonder if she is doing well now? Come to think of it, I haven't met my uncle and your big brother. I heard that you have a little niece. Do you think Aunt would recognize me if she saw me now? ”
Xue Chaoyun shook his head, ”I definitely wouldn't recognize you. Everyone thought … that you were too much of a woman.” It was an offense to look directly at the princess' face.
This sort of painless blow was completely ignored by Ru Yi. ”Then can I go to your house and support you?” ”At least let the people from the second house move out from the main house …”
Xue Chaoyun couldn't help but roll his eyes at her.
”Is that all you can do? We can tell them to fuck off without you. They were not good people. I accidentally walked into the wrong yard that day and heard that they wanted to plot against you. I wanted to tell you.
However, words are useless. When I saw that there was an expert by your side, and ten more of my kind who were not his match, I decided to take a breather and see if I could help out with something small. That's why I saved Gao Qianqian's life.
Ru Yi wanted to laugh. ”I'm neither Yue Lao nor the matchmaker, how could you think that?” ”Don't worry, I won't help others and will ignore you instead. If you think I can help you in the future, then just come find me. Uh, I'll inform Zhou Xuan.”
Hearing the trust in her words, Xue Xianyun felt a little awkward. However, he didn't expect this ruyi to be like her little brother, even more intimate than the two younger brothers of the Du Family. She also felt that she had the appearance of a big sister.
Ru Yi was reluctant to part with him. ”You, if you want to blame me, then blame me. I know you treat me well. It's my fault. I'll compensate you.”
Xue Chaoyun turned around, not saying a word. She continued, ”Where's my mother? Take care of her and let her eat and drink. I …”
She wanted to say that she would work hard and that they would meet one day, but she felt that it was better to do it than to do it, so she stopped herself.
He nodded sullenly. ”I know.”
