no crossing the line

Standing outside the door was a tall, handsome woman in a professional suit.Compared with her glamor and beauty, Jian Qin at this time can be described as extremely embarrassed.

But at this time, Jian Qin didn't have the energy to care about these things at all. She lost contact with her boyfriend for half a month, and her spirit had already been tortured by it.

"Excuse me?"

She asked politely but exhaustedly about the identity of the other party, making sure that she did not know such a beautiful and outstanding woman.

"Are you Jian Qin?"

The other party did not answer her words, but asked her identity in an ambiguous manner.Probably because the woman is half a head taller than Jian Qin, the angle of looking down and the calm and indifferent words give people a feeling of superiority.

Jian Qin couldn't help frowning - she usually has a gentle personality, but the experience during this period has almost exhausted her patience and tolerance.For this woman who came to the door suddenly and had a bad attitude, she rarely felt a little disgusted at the first time.

"I am, may I ask who are you and what can I do for you?"

The woman got an affirmative answer, and her appraising eyes became deeper.

"I'm here for the matter of Ji Jingxi."

The other party spoke concisely, but Jian Qin suddenly opened her eyes wide - Ji Jingxi was her boyfriend's name.

Jian Qin and Ji Jingxi have been dating for two years, and their relationship has always been very good. The senior year is approaching graduation, and the two planned to live together, but when Jian Qin wanted to take Ji Jingxi home to meet his parents, he completely lost contact with him.

To make matters worse, she found out two days ago that she was two months pregnant.

In the past half a month, she made countless phone calls to Ji Jingxi and sent countless text messages, but all of them went to nothing.Two days after Ji Jingxi turned off the phone, Jian Qin chose to call the police.But because they were just a couple and they didn't live together for the time being, the police asked her to wait.

She looked for all the friends around her who knew Ji Jingxi, but was shocked to find that everyone including herself didn't know him at all.Senior year internship, no one knows where he works, no one knows where he lives, no one knows his family situation - including her who is a girlfriend.

The worry at the beginning quickly turned into apprehension and uneasiness. Compared with Ji Jingxi's accident, Jian Qin found that she was more likely to be broken up.This kind of panic reached its peak after she found out that she was pregnant, but she was so flustered that she didn't know what to do except keep calling the phone that was turned off.

It turns out that it is so simple for a person to want to disappear.

"Jing Xi? Do you know where Jing Xi is? What's your relationship with him? Why did you come to me? Why didn't Jing Xi come—"

"Miss Jane," the woman raised her hand to interrupt her repeated inquiries, and said calmly, "I think it's better for us to go inside and talk."

Because of the identity of the other woman, Jian Qin opened the door to her very naturally.But at this moment, she was already vigilant, pulled the doorknob and said: "If you don't explain your identity, I won't let you in."

In these days, she has thought a lot, and the most unacceptable thing is that her boyfriend abandoned her and found a new love.Now that a woman suddenly came to her because of Ji Jingxi, she couldn't help but think about it in that direction.

If it was the beautiful woman in front of her, it would be no surprise that Jing Xi would betray her.

"..." The woman's long and narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was examining Jian Qin, and after a moment of silence, she sighed, "I am Ji Jingxi's older sister, Ji Jinglian."

This answer was completely unexpected to Jian Qin, but she soon realized that the other party might not have lied.

Because the two are at least six or seven points similar in appearance, but unlike Ji Jingxi's handsome and sunny, the woman in front of her has a delicate and cool appearance, so she couldn't immediately think of the two being related by blood.

"You...are you really Jing Xi's sister?"

"I know what you're thinking," Ji Jinglian stretched out his hand in front of Jian Qin with an unchanged expression, holding an ID card between his slender fingers, "If you still don't believe me, I can show you our A family photo...or do you prefer to see the household registration book?"

Jian Qin lowered her head slightly and saw the name on the ID card.

Ji Jinglian, Ji Jingxi, similar names, similar looks, no need for more evidence, Jian Qin already believed that she was her boyfriend's sister.

Ji Jinglian withdrew her ID card: "Now, can I come in and talk?"

She hesitated for a while, and finally stepped aside to let Ji Jinglian enter the room: "Why is Miss Ji coming to see me, where is Jing Xi?"

"Don't call me Miss Ji," Ji Jinglian cast a veiled glance at the single apartment, then continued after a short pause, "You can call me Erica."

Jian Qin was not in the mood to argue with Ji Jinglian about the appellation at all, let alone thinking about why she had such a reaction.

"Erica, where is Jing Xi? Did he tell you I'm here? I have something very important to tell him, please let me meet him!"

She anxiously wanted to know the truth, wanted to ascertain what happened during these days, and wanted to ask for peace of mind.

After Ji Jinglian looked at the indoor environment, he finally set his sights on Jian Qin.

"Ji Jingxi didn't tell me, I found your text message when I checked his belongings." Ji Jinglian took out a broken mobile phone from her bag and handed it to Jian Qin, "You said you were pregnant, this one Is it true?"

"Relics?"

Jian Qin's mind went blank, and he couldn't process the simple words he heard.She just stared blankly at the same mobile phone in Ji Jinglian's hand as her boyfriend, and almost instinctively repeated the two words that she couldn't understand.

"Yes, Ji Jingxi passed away in a car accident half a month ago."

Jian Qin only felt a heavy blow to the back of the head, and suddenly the world was spinning, and he was on the verge of falling.

"impossible……"

"I don't need to lie to you, let alone arrange the death of my brother. If you have doubts, I can take you to the cemetery."

This woman, who was dressed as an elite and seemed to be engaged in a decent job at first glance, said these words lightly, without showing a trace of sadness for losing her brother.But perhaps because of her calm expression, calm eyes and calm tone, her words sounded so convincing.

Jian Qin swayed and was about to fall to the ground, but Ji Jinglian took a step forward to support her arm.

"It seems that you need time to calm down. I can wait for you."

At this time, Jian Qin could not hear any sound, could not feel anything, her whole body was ignorant, and her body was almost limp in Ji Jinglian's arms.

"Impossible, impossible...impossible..."

Ji Jinglian didn't speak, but with some strength in his arms, he brought her to the sofa and sat down with a half hug and half support.

"Woo...Jing Xi..."

It didn't take long for Jian Qin's powerless denial to turn into a mournful cry. His body trembled, tears gushed like a fountain, and he couldn't cry.

She has sadness, pain, and endless remorse and self-blame.As a girlfriend, she not only found out about Jing Xi's death so late, but also suspected him because of this.At this moment, a strong sense of guilt and sadness almost completely overwhelmed her.

But Jian Qin's crying is borne, her grief is suppressed, her crying and sobbing are so weak, only the continuous tears and uncontrollable trembling can reflect the tip of the iceberg of sadness.

Ji Jinglian was sitting with her on the small loveseat sofa, watching her coldly, her slender willow eyebrows were slightly drawn together, as if she was thinking about it.

Time passed by every minute and every second, but Jian Qin's sadness seemed to have no end, and she wantonly vented her grief in front of Ji Jinglian, who could be said to be a stranger.

Ji Jinglian handed over a pack of tissues on the small tea table to Jian Qin in a timely manner. From the beginning to the end, she didn't show the slightest bit of impatience, but she didn't say a word of comfort either.She seemed to be a pure bystander, handing out the tissue was her only care.

In the small room, there was only the sound of Jian Qin's suppressed crying, and the warmly dressed and comfortable nest could not bring a trace of warmth to people at this time.

"thanks……"

Jian Qin covered her eyes with a tissue, and she still didn't forget to thank her even when she was extremely sad, but Ji Jinglian said at this moment: "If you have cried enough, then let's talk about the child."

Jian Qin, who was originally immersed in grief, froze because of this sentence. It was only at this moment that she realized that the elder sister Ji Jinglian seemed to have a different attitude towards her brother's death than ordinary people.

Even if a short period of time has passed because of the incident, there should be some sadness when mentioning it to others.What's more, she is still Jing Xi's girlfriend, and she is suffering from the death of her lover at this time. Why is this older sister's reaction so cold?

"What do you want to talk about..."

But Jianqin had to admit that after Ji Jingxi's death, the real problem she urgently needed to solve was the child in her stomach.If she was sure that she was cheated and abandoned, she might be able to make up her mind to abort the child, but now that Ji Jingxi is dead, she has no idea how she should deal with this situation.

"The two-month-old fetus has not yet formed," Ji Jinglian said in a very, very flat tone. "In this case, it is ideal for both you and the fetus."

Jian Qin suddenly raised his head, almost looking at Ji Jinglian in horror.She originally thought that as Ji Jingxi's older sister, she would visit her personally just for this child. From the standpoint of the Ji family, she should hope that she would give birth to this child.

But Ji Jinglian asked her to abort the child with such an indifferent and alienated attitude, as if killing a life of the same kind was just an understatement to her—even if this life was related to her by blood.

"Of course, I know that this matter will hurt the girl's body a lot, and I will give you 500 million—"

"Do you know what you're talking about?" If it was just unbelievable before, then when Ji Jinglian talked about money, Jian Qin was completely out of anger.For the first time, a well-behaved and well-behaved person interrupted others regardless of politeness, "Miss Ji, do you think killing a child is just a matter of fluff?"

Her grief and self-blame seemed to have suddenly found a breakthrough, turning into anger and bursting out.

Ji Jinglian's calm face seemed to have changed slightly, and his deep eyes became deeper. In just a moment, an indescribable sense of oppression emanated from his body.

"Oh? So according to what you mean, do you want to give birth to this child? Do you really think that this is better for your life?"

Jian Qin's breathing was stagnant, and he couldn't find any rebuttal words for a moment.
