*
At ten o'clock the next morning, Lanyuan Tea House.
Gu Qing helped Jiang Nan make an appointment with his sister-in-law Jiang Baiwei, and Jiang Nan came with Gu Jinzhou.
Originally he could have done it himself, but Gu Jinzhou insisted on being the driver.
This is a quite elegant small garden, which mostly sells Beijing’s old specialty refreshments. The vermilion gatehouse is now lively, and the hall is full of people.
Gu Jinzhou reported the box number, and the waiter over there led them upstairs.
"I'm waiting for you outside, so I won't go in. Hey, how many years has it been since you and your sister-in-law saw each other?"
"....Seven years." Jiang Nan answered Gu Jinzhou.
He thought that the last time they met was on his birthday in the summer when he was fifteen.
I remember that my sister-in-law had long, straight black hair at that time, and her hair was well maintained.
She stood outside the school railing with a bowl of longevity noodles, reached out and handed it in, urging Jiang Nan to eat it quickly.
And what impressed me the most was——
The sun was very bright that day, and a halo of light fell on the top of my sister-in-law's long hair, which was also reflected on her snow-white lilac cheongsam, making her whole person dignified and gentle, which was particularly beautiful.
Gu Jinzhou was outside, and Jiang Nan followed the waiter to the box.
As soon as the waiter raised his hand to knock on the door, a voice came from the box: "Come in."
This slightly high-pitched and hoarse voice was completely unfamiliar to Jiang Nan.
It was different from the elegant and gentle voice in his memory.
After the waiter backed away, he slowly walked in with anxiety.
There was only a woman in a black silk dress in the box, sitting at a mahogany table by the window with tea on the table, turning to look at him.
"Xiao Nan?!"
"....Sister-in-law." Jiang Nan called out uncertainly.
Because the woman in front of him looked tired and wrinkled. Although her temperament was dignified, she was not at all the calm and easy-going person he remembered.
There is a lot of fatigue between the eyebrows and eyes, as if they have been tempered by life.
The long black hair that she cherished the most in the past was already withered and split, and was casually tied into a low ponytail and placed behind her head.
When Jiang Nan walked to the table and took a closer look, she saw that the 38-year-old already had a few strands of white hair.
Obviously, Jiang Baiwei has not been having a good life these years.
"Quick! Sit down quickly," Jiang Baiwei was so nervous that she didn't know what to do. She stared at Jiang Nan's face without blinking, looking from head to toe, "...Xiao Nan, is it Xiao Nan?"
"It's me, sister-in-law."
It seems that the situation is not as difficult as Jiang Nan thought. Jiang Baiwei seems to like him quite a lot?
"Ah, it's true... you've grown so big..."
Jiang Baiwei's eyes were filled with red bloodshot eyes, and the years had left heavy traces on her face. The skinny face and chin also fell into Jiang Nan's eyes, and he felt a strange feeling in his heart.
It's like the rich wife and sister-in-law whom he always thought lived a good life, but turns out she didn't live a good life either?
This made his resentment caused by being ignored for many years suddenly dissipate.
There was even a hint of joy in my heart.
But I couldn’t help but ask and what came out of my mouth was——
"If you don't have enough money, it's because your uncle has treated you badly. Why do you have gray hair?"
"...Xiao Nan."
One sentence made Jiang Baiwei hold back tears for a while, and her eyes filled with tears instantly!
The two of them were seated next to each other, and Jiang Nan was suddenly pulled into her arms. The sister-in-law smelled of milk powder, but she felt warm anyway.
But Jiang Nan has never been hugged like this by a female elder. This is the first time.
He was stunned, not knowing what to say and not daring to move.
Jiang Baiwei cried in a low voice with a hoarse voice. She cried for a few minutes before she realized what she was doing and quickly let Jiang Nan go.
"Hey Xiaonan, look at me, this..."
Jiang Nan handed her the prepared tissue box: "...stop crying."
In fact, he didn't have much mood swings.
Just seeing my sister-in-law crying like this makes me feel a little uncomfortable.
"It's just you, can you ask me a question," Jiang Baiwei choked, looking at Jiang Nan with red eyes, "You said you didn't want to live with Zhao Cheng, so where did you go after graduation? For the past six months... ....”
Jiang Nan simply told her that she had been looking for a job outside in the past six months and was doing well.
Anyway, it's still a bit reserved, like saying polite words.
Finally, he asked: "Why didn't my sister-in-law come to see me later? You haven't been here since you were fifteen years old."
"Your mother said that you were receiving psychological treatment and that you had psychological problems because you didn't have a father. She told us not to come in front of you, as it would aggravate your condition." Jiang Baiwei wiped her tears.
"Later I heard that you went to a mental hospital, and I was even more afraid to look for you."
"Actually, I quietly went to see you in front of your school, but I didn't say hello to you... I go there every year!"
"On the day you graduated from high school, you walked to Chunjiang Road by yourself wearing a black academic cap and sat alone in the small park for two hours, right?"
"I know everything, I've seen it all..."
Such a thin boy, sitting alone on a park bench.
At that time, Jiang Baiwei got out of the car, hid behind a big tree in the park, and just watched for two hours.
"At that time, I really wanted to go over and ask you and talk to you, but I didn't dare."
He didn't dare to show up, fearing that Jiang Nan's condition would be aggravated by being stimulated.
"..."
It turns out that I went to see him?
This answer made Jiang Nan a little at a loss because he never thought that his sister-in-law would pay him silent attention.
No wonder he sent a WeChat message to Gu Jinzhou to ask how he was doing in college.
Jiang Nan's voice was lowered: "I don't know, I thought you didn't like me. Zhao Yu said you were very busy and had no time to see me."
"Why did she say that!" Jiang Baiwei was a little shocked, "....I heard that you had a bad relationship with her during your rebellious period, disliked her second marriage, and kept getting angry with her at home, so you went to school so far away from home. University?"
In fact, she should have asked a long time ago, but she never found the right opportunity.
I didn't see Jiang Nan until today. Seeing that he was in good spirits, I dared to ask directly.
"No." Jiang Nan shook his head.
What a rebellious phase, what disgusting second marriage, what temper.
It's all just an illusion.
If it were Jiang Nan in the past, she would not say anything at this moment, but would stubbornly purse her lips and shake her head.
But today, at this moment.
He felt that he had enough courage to tell the truth and he was not afraid of anyone anymore.
He wanted to tell what kind of miserable life he had lived with Zhao Cheng all these years.
"Zhao Cheng is not good to me. He has abused me since I was a child and restricted my freedom."
"Every time you see my room at home, that room is just a decoration. I rarely live in it. She often locks me in the stairwell. Sister-in-law, I am hungry every day and I can't sleep well."
"I finished the bowl of longevity noodles you gave me, but you forgot to add salt."
"But I was so hungry."
"..."
