The lightness of the world of mortals

The light in Ming Yue's eyes dimmed. There was a plate of fruit on the small coffee table in front of her. She chewed the food in silence for a long while, "I expected her to be in a bad life. I think... no matter how hard I try, I can't save her." she."

Chen Xilin also shook her head, "Actually, I've always thought she was a bit pitiful. She did a lot of things..." She paused, thinking of Jiang Ruojing's inexplicable love and confession to herself, she decided not to bring it up again. After all, it’s all over, “Many of the things she did were very strange, disdainful, and sometimes a little angry, for example, in Haicheng last year, when we just got acquainted, she suddenly came to my house at night, but I often felt a little bit about her. Pity, I don't think she's a bad person, she's just clinging to something that should be let go."

She thought of Jiang Ruojing standing alone by the fence on the roof of the building on Christmas Eve, her long hair blown by the wind, and the moment when her face changed from fear to a self-deprecating smile.

"Yeah... Sometimes I think her obsession is pathological, and I marvel at how irresponsible she is to herself." Having said this, Ming Yue sighed, "Should I not say that about her, after all? It's not very noble to say she was born because of me."

"Yue, don't blame yourself. There was an agreement at the beginning of your acquaintance. She is the one who wants to violate the agreement. She is not only the one who violates the agreement, but also the one who imposes emotional kidnapping. Sometimes, some reasons are clearly laid out. There, you think that a sentence or two can be said clearly, but the other party just goes around and can’t make it clear. At this time, there is only one reason: she doesn’t want her to speak clearly. You can’t wake up the person who pretends to be asleep.”

"I also know what is wrong with her, but I still feel that she is too cruel to herself. Those things related to life and the future seem to be a child's play to her, and she can be so hasty... I am really surprised that she married Kent But I can't do anything, I can only watch her fall into the abyss..."

"Did she only meet Kent after returning to China last year?"

"Yes, and before that, she had a boyfriend of five years. I always thought that she would either marry that boyfriend after returning to China, or break up with him and start a new life. The new life I imagined was to face her own. Sexuality, looking for a woman who really loves each other, I didn’t expect her... From dating to getting married, even the choice of the wedding date, she and Kent seemed to be challenging me. I talked to her several times to no avail... ...Maybe I really did something wrong at the beginning, and sometimes I wonder if I hurt her..."

Chen Xilin frowned puzzledly, "If a girl is kind to herself and others, would she use her marriage as a bargaining chip to challenge others? It's unfair to Kent, not to mention herself. Also, why Picked Kent? Is it because he is a man of fate? Can he often appear in front of you?"

"Well... I believe Kent pursued her first. Jiang Ruojing's conditions are very good. It's normal for Kent to see her fall in love with her."

Chen Xilin shrugged, "I don't want to comment on her motivation for abandoning her five-year boyfriend and accepting Kent. They developed very quickly, and they got married in about four months."

"Hmm..." Ming Yu let go of his gaze.

Chen Xilin took out her mobile phone, "I don't know what happened to her family, she has to take a week off."

Ming Yu cleaned up the knife and fork, "Don't embarrass her, something may have happened. Her family's conditions are not good, and the whole family is pointing at her...Jiang Ruojing's hard work these years has something to do with her original family."

It's just over an hour's flight, and Los Angeles is obviously much drier.

Qinghui and his wife still came to pick up the plane, although it was a bit unpleasant to talk to them on the phone, Qinghui has always disliked the Bai family, especially Chen Xilin.

"Originally, when you came this time, I wanted to invite sister Mei and the others to get together with relatives. It would be regarded as a formal recognition. You want to bring Chen Xilin, so how can we get together? Sister Mei hates Chen Xilin to death because of Qingqing." It's over." Qinghui said so on the phone.

On the contrary, Ming Yue breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to participate in large-scale family recognition activities. It was already very difficult for her to recognize Qinghui, and others were even less important to her. She had no intention of joining the Qing family's circle, which was very embarrassing.

Besides, if it wasn't for getting married and making Chen Xilin feel valued by him, she wouldn't even bring Qinghui here.

Qinghui didn't ask why he brought Chen Xilin here, as if he already knew about it, maybe it's easy to guess, after all, the Qing family knows a lot about the relationship between Chen Xilin and Qingqing.

In fact, the most embarrassing one is Chen Xilin, this is like a nightmare, how can I explain it to the Qing family?I'm sorry, I have had an improper relationship with Qingqing for 12 years, and I have caused her a lot of misery, causing her family to be ruined, and her family is also missing. Now I have kidnapped a girl from your Qing family, please promise us...

The palm of her hand holding Ming Yue was sweating.

Ming Yu let go of her hand and smiled at her, "Don't worry, they don't have the right to say anything. It's a respect for each other to come here."

Qinghui's wife over there greeted her, "How is it? Is everything going well?"

"Sister-in-law, thank you for coming to pick up the plane. It went smoothly." Ming Yue smiled.

Qinghui walked over slowly, and smiled lukewarmly, "Lynn, I haven't seen you for many years."

Chen Xilin stretched out his hand, "Hi, you don't look changed at all."

Qinghui smiled again, and this time there was almost a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his lips. He shook hands with Chen Xilin, "Lynn is too polite," and stretched out his hand to pick up the suitcase in Mingyu's hand, "I'll help you carry it." Bar."

He saw that Mingyu was wearing a ring on each hand, a valuable emerald on the middle finger of his right hand, and a ring on the ring finger of his left hand. Subconsciously, he looked at Chen Xilin's hand again. There is also an identical ring on the top.

Although it took only a moment, the two people who were watched still sensed it.

"Will you go to the hotel to check in and put your luggage first, or go home with me first?" Qing Hui asked.

"If you don't waste time, let's go to the hotel to put your luggage first, the hotel is on the way." Ming Yu replied, she was also afraid that she would stay at Qinghui's house for too long at night, and the time would pass.

"That's fine."

"Sister-in-law, this is a gift specially chosen by Lynn for you." Ming Yue sat in the back seat and handed a beautifully packaged box to sister-in-law in the passenger seat.

"Oh, why is Lynn so polite, we didn't prepare any gifts for you."

"It's just a small gift... I'm sorry to bother you." Chen Xilin is not used to saying such things.

Put down the suitcase at the hotel, and drive all the way back to Qinghui's home in the suburbs. It was after two o'clock in the afternoon, lazy, and Qinghui's wife made some iced fruit tea and brought it to the yard, accompanied by some refreshment cakes.

"These lemons and passion fruits are all grown by ourselves, and they taste different." She introduced them with a smile.

"Sister-in-law really has a zest for life," Ming Yue took a sip of the fruit tea, "The taste is really full, Lynn, try it, it's different from the ones out there."

"Hey." Chen Xilin picked up the cup and took a sip.

Qinghui's wife looked at her and smiled, "The girls in the Bai family have cultivated their temperament very well. Our Anji has always admired you, and she even calls you aunt."

Chen Xilin looked at her, then at Mingyu, "Anji is very cute." She also knows how to speak so many nice words.

"Angie is right to call her aunt. Lynn and I are engaged and we will have a wedding at the end of June."

Qinghui was pinching ice cubes, and stopped when he heard this, without raising his eyes, but his emotions couldn't help running to his face, and his face swelled into brown.

His wife turned to look at him, not knowing how to respond.

"Brother, sister-in-law, we want to invite you, together with Anji, to our wedding." Ming Yu thought for a while, "By the way, Anji wants to be a bridesmaid."

"Sister-in-law" is easy to call, but it's the first time "brother" is called out.

"It stands to reason that I, as an older brother, should congratulate you," Qinghui said slowly, "but don't blame me for spreading the word on the table and saying, Lynn, Qingmei and I got very close, we I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it to her."

A moment of silence.

"I know, and thank you Mr. Qing for being straightforward." Chen Xilin said.

"Xiaoyu, since you are already talking about getting married, you must understand what brother is talking about."

"Yes, I understand."

A gust of wind blows, and the mottled shadow cast by the lemon tree shakes slightly on the table.

"Then if it's too embarrassing, I won't bother you any more. Thank you brother and sister-in-law for entertaining us."

"I'm not surprised that you can say such a thing," Qing Hui said with anger in his voice, "For you, this family has always been the least important thing."

"Qinghui! You can't say that about my sister. She is a thin-skinned person. She looks ruthless, but she is the most affectionate in her heart. After all these years, can't you see what kind of person she is? If she thinks that this place is the least Important, will you bring Lynn all the way to talk about this?"

"Mr. Qing, Mrs. Qing, what happened before was my mistake. It has nothing to do with Yue. One yard is worth one yard. I will talk to sister Qingmei and I will solve it. I hope it won't hurt the relationship between you two." Gentle, you are the only immediate family member in this world, Mr. Qing."

There was another silence, and the mottled light among the shadows of the trees flickered on the table.

Qinghui smiled wryly, "The Qingbai family...is really interesting," he paused, "Does Mr. Bai know about this? Does he agree?"

"Grandpa knows, he's seen it before, and he likes it very much."

Qinghui laughed, "Master Bai is not a mortal."

"Just an ordinary grandpa who loves his granddaughter."

"Is Mr. Bai still in good health?" The sister-in-law came to ease the atmosphere.

"I had a stroke a few years ago, and I've been in a wheelchair since then. Other than that, I'm fine. Thank you Mrs. Qing for your concern."

"Calling me 'Mrs. Qing' is very strange," said the sister-in-law with a smile. "They are all relatives, so call me sister-in-law. It's not like I'm taking advantage."

"What's the matter, sister-in-law."

"Eh? Qinghui, while the two younger sisters are here, I'm also curious. Tell me about the history of the Qingbai family. How did they become estranged?"

Qing Hui took a sip of tea, "Does Lynn mind if I talk?"

Chen Xilin shook his head, "I don't know much about those things, and I would like to hear the details."

"Back then," Qinghui let go of his eyes, "it would be 40, when the 'Second Revolution' failed, our great-grandfather and his younger brother, the father of Lynn's grandmother, fled to Hong Kong together A few years later, the domestic situation changed dramatically. Our great-grandfather returned to Yancheng, while his younger brother stayed in Hong Kong, married and had children. Lynn's grandmother was born in Hong Kong. From that time until 50 In the 60s, the two brothers still kept in touch with each other, and they agreed to reunite after the victory of the War of Resistance. Since we came back to Yancheng, we followed whoever we were, and up to our grandfather. They were all conquering the world at the beginning, so the two families used to disagree. In fact, there was a relaxation in the late [-]s, because the younger brother of the great-grandfather, That is to say, Lynn’s grandmother’s father passed away. After all, blood is thicker than water. Our great-grandfather missed him very much. He once resumed contact with him, but in the [-]s, as you know, the contact was broken again. That time it was completely broken. There, there must be hatred."

Ming Yu was fascinated by what he heard, and he didn't expect that the two families had experienced a century-old entanglement.

Qinghui took another sip of tea, "It's good to be able to tell you guys, and be a sensible person."

The wind at night was dry and warm. Chen Xilin stood on the terrace outside the hotel bedroom with a glass of red wine between his fingers.

The door was gently pushed open, Ming Yue came out and hugged her from behind.

"You've been washing for a long time~" Chen Xilin said lazily.

"Let our family Chen Xilin wait for a long time, and punish himself with a drink." Ming Yu took the red wine in her hand and drank it down.

Chen Xilin was about to turn around.

"Don't move," Ming Yu said softly, "What are you thinking?"

"Thinking of the two brothers more than 100 years ago, Hong Kong in the 40s and [-]s...those unparalleled past events...I think you are going back to the Netherlands tomorrow, I miss you so much...hey don't...you are outside..."

"The wind outside is very comfortable, isn't it uncomfortable?" Ming Yu whispered in her ear.

Unbuttoning her bathrobe, her skin was ironed just right.

"Lynn, could it be that there is something flowing in our bodies that has been longing for a reunion for more than 100 years...?"
