Chapter 335 - 335 Returning to the Village
335 Returning to the Village
To Jiang Chun, this effect was better than causing trouble herself. Only when her parents rebelled could they truly escape the Jiang family’s control and Old Madam Jiang’s control.
Soon, it was time to return to the village. Because Jiang Wu couldn’t get out of bed yet, Jiang Chun found a trustworthy retired neighbor and gave the old man 0.05 yuan a day to go to her house every two hours to help turn her father around.
Jiang Chun settled all the arrangements before leaving home.
After Yu Bing returned home that day, she stayed in the guest house and read with Xiao Sheng, ignoring everything else.
The family visit was 15 days. On the afternoon of the last day, the three of them returned to He Mountain Village.
On the way to work, Yu Yan saw the smile on Yu Bing’s face as she spoke to Xiao Sheng and Jiang Chun from afar. The unwillingness and grievance in her heart surfaced again.
Ever since Yu Yan received a call from Duan Mei last week and found out that Duan Mei wanted Yu Yan to postpone her visit because Yu Bing was at home, she had been absentminded.
She had already applied for leave early. In order to avoid being unable to buy train tickets, she had specifically applied for a day off and went to the city to buy tickets in advance. However, all of this was ruined by that phone call.
After Yu Yan quietly watched Yu Bing disappear from her sight, she returned to the dormitory in a daze. Then, she lay on the bed alone with tears silently flowing down.
Why did they still care more about Yu Bing’s feelings and thoughts when she was so unfilial?
Was companionship really that important?
However, it wasn’t her fault that she was unable to accompany her family! It was all because of Yu Bing that she lost the chance to accompany them!
Yu Yan clenched her fists tightly and lowered her head to bite the back of her hand.
At this moment, Yu Yan felt that life was very unfair. She was even more determined to snatch her family away from Yu Bing no matter the price. She had to let Yu Bing have a taste of being abandoned by her family!
Yao Nian was eating with Yu Yan now. He realized that as long as he ate with Yu Yan, he could more or less get some share of the canned meat sent by Yu Yan’s parents.
After waiting for a long time without seeing Yu Yan, Yao Nian went to the dormitory to look for her.
After Yao Nian pushed open the closed door and saw Yu Yan lying on the bed, he went forward and asked softly, “Yu Yan, why aren’t you going down to eat?”
Yu Yan came back to her senses and quickly wiped her tears. “I don’t have an appetite anymore. Hurry up and go down to eat first.”
Yao Nian sensed that Yu Yan was in a bad mood. Now was the time for him to perform, so he couldn’t leave. His food had already been placed in the lunch box before he came up anyway.
After Yao Nian sat by the bed, he bent down to approach Yu Yan. He looked at her with heartache as he asked gently, “How can I eat if you don’t have an appetite? Yu Yan, what’s wrong? Who made you unhappy?”
Yu Yan felt that Yao Nian was like a ray of light in the dark world at this moment. His gentle voice was like a whistle that pointed the way for her.
Looking at Yao Nian’s handsome face, Yu Yan felt a hint of tenderness and said, “I’m fine. I’ll be fine after some time alone. Take my meat sauce and go downstairs to eat first.”
Yao Nian resisted the urge to take the meat sauce and rush down to eat. He swallowed hard as he said with difficulty, “No, I want to accompany you. Yu Yan, what happened?”
As Yu Yan stared at the concerned Yao Nian, she couldn’t tell him in detail, so she only asked, “What did you like about Yu Bing back then?”
This was a difficult question for men, so Yao Nian immediately stopped thinking about eating meat.
He began to think about whether Yu Yan was jealous. “It wasn’t that I liked her. You also know that Yu Bing and I were engaged when we were young. I treated her as my sister and wanted to bear the responsibility of this arranged marriage.”
“If I hadn’t met you, I might have listened to my parents and agreed to such a feudal marriage. Fortunately, you saved me from this terrifying marriage!”
Yao Nian could tell from Yu Yan’s eyes that she was moved. He was secretly happy that he answered correctly. He decided to say even more things to consolidate his position in Yu Yan’s heart. “I know Yu Bing is interested in me, but she’s too shy to express her feelings, so she always acts cold to me. I didn’t have any romantic feelings for her, so I played along and pretended not to know.”
These words expressed that Yu Bing was deeply attracted to him, so he wasn’t a guy that no one cared about, but he also expressed that he had no feelings for Yu Bing. Yao Nian was very satisfied with his answer.
