Fall in love with your enemy

Continuing from the last time, with Brother Qingyun's support, the people from the second house treated him as their own young master, and the people who were monitoring me naturally left tactfully, and no one saw that I was injured. He just said that I ate something bad and slept unwell, and he carried me all the way out, put me in the car, and covered the fender, and everything was fine. As for the old house, I still had some manpower left, and the second and third grandmas had no intention of causing trouble for me now.

It can be said that it was a bumpy journey. The only thing was that I was confused and had to protect Brother Qingyun from bullying Jiang Yinan all the time. Later, I just hugged Jiang Yinan to sleep. I could know the first time any movement. I recovered completely in the afternoon of the next day. When I opened my eyes, he was already in bed. Jiang Yinan recovered much faster than me. I didn't know how long he had been looking at me.

I reached out and touched his hair. Jiang Yinan didn't hide anymore, but leaned towards me.

"Feeling better?" I asked.

He nodded, took his hand out of the quilt and took off the gauze to show me. I was a little slow and didn't stop him. Fortunately, the wound was really scabbed. He sighed dimly: "It wasn't deep to begin with, yours hurts more." He paused, and then said: "I'm sorry."

I didn't respond to him, I just leaned over and kissed him, holding his hand, kissing him back and forth three times, and finally leaning into his arms: "Yesterday's, this morning and noon, you decided it yourself and you forgot it, but I remember it."

"Shishi, are you still willing to live with me like this?"

He suddenly lowered his voice, speaking from the bottom of his heart: "I am not Lin Modu, and even the Jiang Yinan I saw later was mostly pretending. In reality, I am like this. I have seen too many corpses scattered all over the ground and rivers of blood, and many of them were even done by me. I fell into a deep pit without any way, and I couldn't control my emotions. I couldn't control the desire to hurt and destroy my interests, and I couldn't help but hate. I have been taking medicine. Sometimes when I was anxious, I didn't control the dosage and drank a bottle. I almost killed myself. I'm going crazy."

"Some of what William said is right. Why haven't I shown such an attitude for so many years? I am comparing myself to Nanxing. I am afraid of death and I don't think I should die. I also know that there is another person in this world who has a similar experience to me, but is born more miserable than me, so I have the confidence to live. Nanxing also hates why we should have been leaning on each other for life, but I met you. His evil is because of my greed."

"In fact, there is no love between us. I don't love him and he doesn't love me either. We don't even talk to each other, we play different games, and our essay topics are contradictory. But I just hope that the other person is alive so that I can feel at ease. If he dies first, he won't let me be truly free. He doesn't want me to blame you, but he told me that it was you who killed him, and even spit out Nian Nian. He killed my last bit of self-esteem because he knew that you were the two people I loved the most."

"We shouldn't have separated. What kind of people stay in what kind of world? I shouldn't have fallen in love with you again. This is what led to this ending. Nanxing deserved it. So he died, but I began to envy him. Why did he have the courage to die... Why don't I dare? No matter what time it is, the first thing I want to do is to live, but what's the good of living?"

"I want to follow his path. I'm about to collapse because of the reality. I know he's right. Death is a relief, but I just don't dare. Shishi, can you lock me up again? If I don't take my medicine for a few more days, I'll probably make up my mind. If you still want to give me a better way to die, just add something to my food. I'm really a coward. Dying quickly is the best outcome for me."

I was stunned for a long time, as if something was blocking my throat. He said so much but I couldn't stop him. Until one point, I pinched my arm and gritted my teeth and said, "What do you mean?"

"Let's get a divorce."

He was extremely relieved, and after he finished speaking, he couldn't stop sobbing and crying, but he was also smiling and took a deep breath for a long time.

"I won't stop you from getting what you really want. You just need a marriage to solve your current predicament. You've already done that. You don't love me that much, but I'm the best for you, an ally who can be easily bound. It'll be over once you trick your second uncle. You'll be free when I die. In the future, whether it's Gao Xinci or Feng Shizhi, you'll be happier than wasting time with me. I think it will be smoother for you to choose Feng Shizhi. Why don't you..."

"Who do you think I am? An entertainment object? Someone who can be given back and forth at will!" I finally gathered my strength to interrupt him. He really conflicted me. I couldn't figure out what he really meant, why he said the most hurtful words, but was full of hope when he heard my rebuttal, wanting desperately to rush towards death, yet refusing to accept anyone's salvation.

It's like a person in a cage, screaming to leave the man-eating purgatory and praying loudly for life outside the cage, but the key is clearly in his hand and he refuses to hand it over or let go of the hand that's holding him.

The long silence finally accompanied him as he fell into endless darkness.

I rushed over to hug him forcefully: "I just want to ask one question, do you love me?"

"Love." Every time he said this, he felt more determined: "I will always love you."

"Then we will never be apart."

I managed to calm him down temporarily. In the following days, I did everything I could to coax him and asked someone to watch him. Fortunately, even though he had nothing to do when I was away occasionally, he didn't do anything to hurt himself. He mostly played with Rongrong and sometimes just stared at the wall. In the past two days, he became obsessed with reading Nanxing's diary. He was so absorbed in it that he cried a few times, but he recovered before I came back.

I felt a little relieved, but I didn't dare to put the plan on hold. After explaining the affairs of Linjiang Company, Feng Shizhi rushed to the old house without stopping. During this time, he hurriedly called his students to pass by him in batches, and at least he selected a few suitable ones.

Lin Song's application for promotion was submitted. It was said that although Qi Cheng did not show his temper on his face, when his second uncle asked for his opinion, he answered with a smile. He also went back to the house and made a scene by smashing cups and chairs.

After Qin Ke left, he became the full-time butler. It was really a headache that someone was causing trouble before he had even finished his three tasks. I also taught Lin Song to take a step back, lower his posture and say that he was Qi Cheng's junior, and hoped that he could learn Qi Cheng's abilities as a student.

In addition, all the students in the old house wrote a letter praising Lin Song and submitted it, including those who graduated early and went to various departments, like Fu Xu, who signed it without writing a few words. When the third grandmother heard about this, she was hesitant at first, but Li Yuanye happened to return to the old house due to illness, and she immediately felt confident. With the full support of the third house, Qi Cheng was also very sensible and accepted this student in a good tone.

Before I went to the ancestral hall to burn incense for my second aunt, the young butler had already come to greet me with a jade pendant hanging on his belt. Because he was Qi Cheng's apprentice, he demoted himself to a fifth-rank butler from the original sixth-rank. Only this jade pendant on his body, which broke the rules, expressed the importance of him by the superiors. It was a piece of emerald green jade.

"Work hard. Who knows when I'll be able to save enough money to get married? Then you can't call me Miss anymore. You have to call me Aunt." I said meaningfully, pointing to Yun Yan behind me.

Yun Yan acted like an old married couple and was not very excited, but Lin Song jumped up and down: "I know, sister... Bah, no, aunt, can I call you aunt now? The Third Madam said that we will be engaged next year, and she will give Yun Yan a dowry as a goddaughter."

"Really?" I felt empty inside when I heard that. I glanced at Lin Song and realized that there was a manager whom I didn't know following Yun Yan.

It seems to be the work of Third Grandma. I said that the old lady could not be so kind. I plotted against her, and even if she benefited, she would definitely repay me in return. It has always been the case that when a young lady of the Fu family marries a student who stays at home, the student becomes the son-in-law of the family. She is the one who knows the rules the most, but she let Yun Yan get married. Even if she wants to honor Lin Song, she would not do it in this way. It is obvious that she wants to find a loophole and take the opportunity to take back Yun Yan's shares and break up her power so that I will have one less helper in the old house. She is really destroying the bridge after crossing it. She has no conscience.

I smiled and patted Lin Song on the shoulder: "Third Grandma is kind-hearted, and the whole old house knows about it, so you have to work harder. However, you can have more free time in the first few years of marriage. Master still has to be the main force, and you should learn and watch more."

"Yes." Lin Song nodded.

Then Yun Yan stepped forward and said, "Aunt, Lin Song got a promotion, and his friends all want to join in the fun, so we set up a few tables in the yard. If they are empty in the evening, would you like to come and have a look? After all, this trip is mostly due to you, and we should toast you."

"Of course. Since there's going to be a lively party in the evening, you as the host should go back and prepare." I agreed, and the two children left.

As soon as Feng Shizhi walked out of the door, he got an angry face. He was just playing with Rongrong with Jiang Yinan, but this time he almost threw a ball of fur on Rongrong's face, and immediately Jiang Yinan got an angry face again.

"It's expected. Don't be so angry." I patted the person's arm and said with a smile.

"Do you think I'm mad about the Third Madam? I've seen how annoying that old woman is. I'm mad at the guy behind Yunyan! He was my classmate. He put thumbtacks on my seat when we were in school, wrote "born by a mother but not raised by a mother" on my desk, tore up my certificates and textbooks, and brought a bunch of people to surround me in the bathroom. How come he's not dead yet?" Feng Shizhi drank a sip of tea in anger and burned his mouth. "I give up. He's holding on to someone so powerful. I thought I had a higher rank than him and could suppress him, but it turns out that he's behind you, your grandmother."

"So what if she's my grandmother?"

"I'm afraid of causing trouble for you." Feng Shizhi said with great pain.

I threw down a handful of melon seed shells. I knew what he was thinking without having to guess, so I wiped my hands and said helplessly, "I'll go find my uncle and ask him to come over. You can do whatever you want with him, okay?"

"No problem, very good, thank you." After a series of social etiquette, I was finally able to roll my eyes at him without saying a word.

"You're not someone who gets bullied. He bullied you so much, and you didn't fight back?" Jiang Yinan had been hiding in the corner for a long time, and now he finally poked his head out of curiosity and asked.

"Of course, have you eaten?" Feng Shizhi said proudly, but the next question was completely unrelated. We were puzzled but shook our heads. Then he touched his nose and said, "They blocked my bathroom. I couldn't beat them because they were outnumbered, so I picked up the mop next to me and hit them in the face with the contents of the toilet. Later, their faces became inflamed, so they went out to treat the disease, and then they failed the grade. I haven't seen them since."

"Now I know why you asked us if we had eaten." Jiang Yinan touched his Adam's apple: "Indeed, there is nothing to vomit."

"Then you have already taken revenge." I was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Feng Shizhi was still arrogant, with a gloomy face: "Isn't this good again? Besides, I told him long ago that I was the top student in our class, and told him to be careful because I would get promoted and make a fortune in the future and punish him. He said that if you have the ability, then you can take the exam. He wants to see how capable I am. It's reasonable. Now I have indeed been promoted and made a fortune. How can I break my promise? I will be hung up and beaten by him!"

I was convinced and gave a thumbs up while laughing: "Okay, it's up to you."

Feng Shizhi pointed at me and asked me to look behind him. Jiang Yinan had been depressed for several days, but now he smiled, which was very rare. He even put down his diary, hugged Rongrong and meowed a few times. I reached out to hold his hand, and he was startled. He put Rongrong on the table and then held my hand tightly. Rongrong rubbed our wrists in the middle.

"Let's talk business. How are you going to deal with this, Third Madam? It's not a good thing for Yun Yan to get married. Although Lin Song knows that, marriage is not something he can decide alone. He has parents and he is the only son in the family. If he is allowed to marry into the family, I'm afraid his parents will not agree. If they quarrel over this matter, Lin Song will feel uncomfortable being caught in the middle and it is inevitable that their feelings will be hurt." Feng Shizhi said with a wry smile.

"Then why not accept Third Grandma's kindness and let Yunyan get married?" I blew on the hot tea in my hand and said, "She will also bring a dowry, which is a good thing for Yunyan."

Feng Shizhi frowned, "If Yunyan is really married, and the property is taken back according to the rules, you will only have those few stewards with little power left in the old house. Yunyan will no longer have anyone to support her, but she is still the head of the family, and everyone will call her Miss."

"It's not that easy to marry my niece. I admire Lin Song, but he's a poor student, and the Zhou family still only lives in a small attic. If they really take Yun Yan out to me, can I bear to let Yun Yan endure the suffering of poverty? As an aunt, I have to do something. Since the rules say that the married daughter of the Fu family cannot take the family property, then I will sell the things I took back from Yun Yan to Lin Song at the price of 9.9 yuan including shipping. In this way, Yun Yan will have cash in hand and Lin Song will have shares. Aren't the two of them a perfect match?"

"Nine dollars and nine cents with free shipping?" Jiang Yinan found it outrageous and laughed out loud.

"It's very reasonable, just like Zhizhi using a mop to rub... ahem, rub that thing on the face of the bully. How much money can two children have? They are still in school. It's normal for us elders to help them get married. Third grandmother gave the dowry, and I gave Lin Song some gifts, so that he would not be in vain for calling me sister for several days before. As for the property, I will lose a little, as long as the two children are happy, isn't it? Oh, and Shenghua Courtyard, I also gave this yard to Yunyan and Lin Song to live in after marriage in the name of the eldest daughter of the Fu family. This is my power to adjust the public accounts in the family, but it seems that no one in the third room has this power."

After saying that, everyone laughed. Feng Shizhi even leaned back and muttered that the old witch was going to grow white hair again.

"But Lin Song is still at a disadvantage in the current situation." Jiang Yinan smiled and sighed.

Come to think of it, Lin Song is young, and there are two old monsters above him. However, there are countermeasures for every plan, and this is not a hard stone. Lin Song lowered his posture and became Qi Cheng's disciple. As long as he doesn't make a big mistake, Qi Cheng can't do anything to him for my sake. As for Li Yuanye, Third Grandma didn't think about it before showing off. Since I can drive Li Yuanye out and bring him back at will, isn't it up to me to decide how many years he can live?

"Zhizhi, I remember Yun Jiang gave me a big piece of Hetian jade for my birthday two days ago. Find a skilled craftsman to carve something with a good meaning, and have Lin Song give it to Qi Cheng."

"Do you want Qi Cheng to think that our talks with Li Yuanye have failed and then support him instead?" Jiang Yinan asked.

"That's the situation." I chuckled, and seeing Jiang Yinan's worry, I held his other hand tightly. "We don't need to worry about what Qi Cheng thinks. Even if he and Li Yuanye see that it's a trap, it doesn't matter. After all, it's not up to them to decide whether to fight or not."

"Okay." Jiang Yinan nodded, and after feeling relieved, he used his hand to feed cat food to Rongrong.

Just after I left for a short while, trouble came again. A familiar-looking manager came in from outside and whispered something unpleasant in my ear: Gao Xinci brought a lot of people to Jinhai and has found a hotel in the city center to stay.

I couldn’t help but make two more book covers, and one exclusively for the little fox. Which one do you think looks better?

(I know the edges of this cover are a little bit out of proportion, but I have to crop the picture to put it in Eggplant and I have no other choice... The original picture is placed in the circle)
