Chapter 56: embrace

Jiang Zhishu watched Jiang Baiwan leave in a daze. He wanted to go forward and chase him, but after two steps he stopped again. His heart, like his footsteps, became extremely heavy. Looking at her sister's back, Jiang Zhishu felt in a daze that his sister seemed to have gone away from him.
"Sit down." Ji Chen's voice came from behind, "It's useless to stand alone."
Jiang Zhishu turned his head and smiled at Ji Chen with an ugly smile that was as ugly as crying: "Brother-in-law, sister-in-law... Isn't she going to want me again?"
Ji Chen looked at Jiang Baiwan's back with heavy eyes, did not answer Jiang Zhishu's question, but said to Ji Ying on the side: "Sister, please take care of him, I will look at Xiaowan." After that, Ji Chen He picked up his jacket and ran after Jiang Baiwan.
Ji Ying didn't have time to say anything, so she watched Ji Chen chase away quickly. She stretched her hand in the air, then retracted again. Ji Ying glanced at and stayed where she was. She was sprayed by her relatives with Jiang Zhishu, who is still stunned. She couldn't help rolling her eyes: "Wait, wait for your brother-in-law to catch up with your sister first, comfort a bit."
Jiang Baiwan walked out entirely with a breath of breath, and the distress in her chest had calmed down a bit after just venting. It's just that she couldn't understand why Jiang Baiwan's family left her so comfortably, is it too patriarchal?
"Xiao Wan?" Ji Chen was behind and caught up with her in a few steps, "Xiao Wan."
Jiang Baiwan was still immersed in his thoughts, and did not hear Ji Chen's shout. Ji Chen chased forward two more steps, and grabbed Jiang Baiwan's wrist: "Xiaowan."
"Ji Chen?" Jiang Baiwan turned his head and looked at Ji Chen with some doubts, "What's the matter?"
Ji Chen pursed his mouth, looking at Jiang Baiwan, did not speak, but did not let go of her hand. Jiang Baiwan could feel the power from her wrist. She looked down at Ji Chen's hand, then looked up at Ji Chen's expression, and suddenly smiled: "What are you guilty of."
Ji Chen was caught up in the heart by Jiang Baiwan, and his ears began to turn red quietly again. He was silent for a while before he whispered: "I...I just don't know, you have endured so much."
"It's okay," Jiang Baiwan said lightly. "It's all over. I have more than 8 million in my hands now. The business of the mala Tang shop is also good. Different from the previous glitz, this kind of plain life is pretty good. of."
However, the more Jiang Baiwan said this, the more guilt in Ji Chen's heart became—Jiang Baiwan just said that Jiang's family abandoned her when she needed family affection most, and why is he not?
"I'm sorry," Ji Chen said suddenly, "I'm sorry."
Jiang Baiwan smiled and shook his head. Under the moonlight, Jiang Baiwan, who usually looks lively and noisy, now has a two different temperament.
She calmly said: "It's not your fault. You have done your best to me. I don't blame you."
"Okay, I'm going back." Jiang Baiwan gently grabbed his wrist, "Ji Chen, did you let me go first?"
Ji Chen was reminded by Jiang Baiwan that he was still holding someone's hand. He seemed to have been burned, and quickly released Jiang Baiwan's wrist. Jiang Baiwan moved his wrist, and then waved at Ji Chen. Unlike the anger in the living room just now, Jiang Baiwan is very calm, even with a smile on his face: "Okay, you hurry up Go back, it's so late, don't send me off."
Ji Chen stood there, watching Jiang Baiwan take another two steps forward. A burst of warm blood suddenly surged from his heart and kept flowing to his limbs. He didn't think much, but subconsciously followed his heart.
Ji Chen stepped forward and slammed Jiang Baiwan, before she recovered, she held Jiang Baiwan tightly in her arms.
Jiang Baiwan felt that the sky was spinning, and he fell into an embrace in the next second. Her eyes widened, and her mind suddenly melted into a paste. Sniffing the scent of cologne on the man who was close at hand, Jiang Baiwan didn't know what had happened—what was going on?
Ji Chen hugged Jiang Baiwan tightly and buried his face in her hair. The strength of both arms... and Ji Chen's crazy heartbeat were all accurately conveyed to Jiang Baiwan. Jiang Baiwan felt the man's violent heartbeat, and without paying attention, his heartbeat began to accelerate.
"Sorry," Ji Chen said suddenly, his voice was a little hoarse and trembling, "I'm sorry, I also abandoned you when you needed others the most."
Jiang Baiwan hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand gently, and patted Ji Chen on the back: "I just said the truth, it's really fine... She never blamed you."
Ji Chen shocked all over, he moved a little away from Jiang Baiwan and looked directly into her eyes. Jiang Baiwan seemed to know nothing, and smiled at him: "In the past, Jiang Baiwan was dead, and she did not blame you in the past. Jiang Baiwan now lives quietly, and now I...when you are a friend."
"Friend?" Ji Chen repeated the word. He smiled helplessly: "Well, my friend."
With that, Ji Chen let go of Jiang Baiwan. He was still very close to her, but his heartbeat gradually subsided.
"Then as a friend, Xiao Wan," Ji Chen said, "Can you express my apologies?"
Jiang Baiwan was a little flustered inexplicably, she couldn't help taking a step back, her eyes widened, and she bluffed: "I owe it first, and when I remember it, I will let you pay it back."
After speaking, Jiang Baiwan didn't wait for Ji Chen to answer, so he ran away. Ji Chen didn't catch up this time. He stood there, watching Jiang Baiwan's leaving back, and slowly clenched his fists.
When Ji Chen returned home, Jiang Zhishu was sitting in the living room, hanging his head and wondering what he was thinking.
Ji Chen walked to him and looked at him condescendingly: "Follow me."
Jiang Zhishu did not say a word, but stood up silently, and followed Ji Chen to his study.
After the two people sat down, Ji Chen said, "Let's talk about it, what's the matter."
"Brother-in-law, what are you talking about?" Jiang Zhishu's face was blank, "I don't understand."
Ji Chen sat in his seat and tapped the tabletop slightly. Unlike the gentleness he had just faced Jiang Baiwan, when he looked at Jiang Zhishu, Ji Chen's whole body was too lazy to conceal: "What is going on when you return home this time."
Jiang Zhishu raised his eyebrows with a weird expression: "Brother-in-law, you...this kind of thing, don't rush to ask."
"I'm not worried about you," Ji Chen whispered, "I'm worried about your sister. What she just said is correct. You and your parents left when you left, but now you suddenly come back like this. She welcomes you with gongs and drums?"
"...Brother-in-law," Jiang Zhishu's expression also slowly became serious, "I call you brother-in-law, don't ask so much, OK?"
Ji Chen squinted his eyes: "Don't pretend?"
"Why did you pretend to be in front of you brother-in-law?" Jiang Zhishu smiled, his cheeks flushed, and scratched the back of his head like a really shy little boy, "I know brother-in-law, you can see it all."
Ji Chen sighed: "No matter what you are going to do, I don't allow you to disturb your sister. Xiaowan, she... In fact, she has been very lonely during this period. Although she is laughing every day, I can see that it is Because there is nothing to care about."
Because I didn't care, I dared to act arrogantly. Today's Jiang Baiwan is such a situation.
When Jiang Zhishu heard this, his back stiffened. He smiled bitterly, and slowly said, "My sister's current situation...Forget it, let's wait for my sister to calm down on this matter."
"Jiang Zhishu, you can live with me during this period of time," Ji Chen said after thinking for a moment, "but I won't tell you about your sister, and I won't tell you her address. I'm taking you in because of you. It’s Xiaowan’s younger brother, but I don’t tell you about her because I respect her."
Ji Chen reached out and knocked on the table again, motioning Jiang Zhishu to look at him: "You should be able to understand what I mean."
Jiang Zhishu nodded: "I understand, it's right for my sister to be angry. I haven't contacted my sister for so long in the United States. Now I come back and tell her that I don't know anything. It would be too much for anyone to think about it."
"If you understand..." Ji Chen said, "The servant in the room will make arrangements for you. Go and rest."
When Jiang Zhishu came out of the study, he seemed to remember something. He suddenly turned around and said to Ji Chen: "Brother-in-law, you seem to be not surprised at all about me calling your brother-in-law now?"
Seeing Ji Chen's abruptly stiff expression, Jiang Zhishu looked like a cat stole the fish and left the house grinning.

After Jiang Baiwan arrived home, it was late at night, and she didn't turn on the light, but went into the bedroom alone and fell on the bed.
She sighed very deeply. Although the surroundings were quiet, her brain seemed to be another storm, and she couldn't calm down.
"What..." Jiang Baiwan grasped the quilt viciously, "He suddenly hugged me without saying hello. Is he taking advantage of me?"
Originally, Jiang Baiwan was still a little angry, but under Ji Chen's hug and the few "sorry" full of forbearance and complicated feelings, Jiang Baiwan was very spineless and even a little shy.
"What is this! Is it a good-looking man?" Jiang Baiwan thumped out of the bed angrily, and the bed made a sound of protest.
However, Ji Chen's hug is quite safe. He doesn't usually look fat, but he can wrap Jiang Baiwan in his arms, and it smells good...
Jiang Baiwan rolled on the bed, holding his head, his expression distorted-calm down! When is this! Don't be addicted to beauty!
In this peaceful night, two people are destined to be unable to sleep.
