Chapter 23 Fight back for what you've lost over the years
"What's wrong?" Lin Yu whispered concernedly.
"Nothing, I'm going to the toilet." Jiang Yan stood up in a panic and walked out in a hurry.
"Sister-in-law, what's going on?" Shen Yuxuan and Zhou Chen looked at each other, somewhat puzzled.
Lin Yu didn't say anything. He took the card from the flowers and took a look. He saw a string of simple English written on it: missyoumuch.
Apart from that, there is nothing else.
The handwriting on the card was so powerful and handsome that Lin Yu guessed that Jiang Yan had recognized the handwriting on the card and had such a reaction.
Could it be him?
Thinking of Jiang Yan's panicked look just now, Lin Yu's heart seemed to be clenched. After all, he had never seen her lose her composure after being together for so long.
Are we finally going to meet?
Lin Yu's fingers held the card unconsciously, and his knuckles turned slightly white.
I want to see what kind of amazing person you are.
Although Lin Yu couldn't say he loved Jiang Yan much, she was his wife after all. Her heart was not with him, but with other men, and no one could bear it.
Lin Yu had long wanted to see this man's style, but he didn't expect to meet him here today.
"Jiarong, what's the problem?" Shen Yuxuan saw Lin Yu looking so solemn for the first time.
"Jia Rong, do you know who this man is? Don't worry, this is my place. I can ask someone to get him out immediately." Zhou Chen spoke very forcefully. This is really not a boast. Who does he want to get out of?
Anyone has to go out. Today's security is entirely his.
"It's okay." Lin Yu put the card back calmly, smiled, and said, "I've seen this kind of situation too many times. I have no choice. To marry a beautiful wife, you have to learn to withstand this kind of pressure."
"Haha, it's good to know. I can't help it. Who can make my sister-in-law's country beautiful and fragrant?"
"Yes, this means you are very lucky, Jiarong."
Zhou Chen and Shen Yuxuan immediately laughed.
"Jia Rong, don't worry, I only recognize you as my son-in-law, and the rest will come from wherever they come from!" Jiang Jingren sipped his wine and said seriously.
"Sir, then, then, these flowers..." The waiter on the side was covered in cold sweat and didn't know what to do. The person who asked him to send flowers was also someone he couldn't afford to offend.
"Are you stupid? Can't you understand people's words?" Shen Yuxuan slammed the table angrily.
"Give it to me." Lin Yu waved to him, took the flowers, and put them aside. Without saying anything more, he greeted everyone to eat.
It was half an hour before Jiang Yan came back. At this time, she had returned to her cold and proud look, but from the faint bloodshot eyes, Lin Yu could tell that she had cried.
"Excuse me."
Jiang Yan apologized to everyone for her gaffe. After she glanced at the roses on the table, her expression changed again. She grabbed them and threw them away in anger.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yu grabbed her wrist and said, "Some things can't be solved by running away."
Jiang Yan's face was slightly startled when he heard this.
Lin Yu grabbed her hand and put the flowers back on the table, and said softly: "I know you want to put it down, and you have been trying to put it down, but just like this bouquet on the table, you throw it away and crush it.
, but it shows that you care about it. When you see that its heart is calm and there is no fluctuation, then it means that you have truly let go."
Jiang Yan's body trembled slightly, her eyes were a little red, she said nothing and pulled her hand back.
"Eat, eat, let's talk after eating."
Zhou Chen and Shen Yuxuan saw that the atmosphere was not right and hurriedly smoothed things over.
"Jiang Yan, do you still like the flowers I gave you?"
At this moment, Jiang Yan suddenly remembered a mellow and magnetic voice behind him.
Jiang Yan's body trembled suddenly, and his hands began to shake uncontrollably. He grabbed at the table randomly, as if desperately trying to grab something he could rely on.
At this time, a warm and strong hand suddenly held her hand, and she calmed down instantly. When she turned around, she found that Lin Yu was looking at her gently, smiled gently at her, and said, "I
Here it is."
After saying that, Lin Yu held Jiang Yan's hand and stood up. When he turned around, he saw the man he had always wanted to see.
I saw that this man was tall and tall, with good looks. He was wearing a suit that was very close-fitting. He looked like a typical clothes hanger. It seemed that he exercised a lot on weekdays.
Next to him was a woman in her twenties, wearing a champagne and diamond-encrusted dress, a necklace around her neck, and a diamond-filled hairpin on her head. She was luxurious and noble, and she was undoubtedly a rich girl.
This woman's facial features are also very good, but her skin is slightly yellow. She looks so dull in front of the fair Jiang Yan, so there is inevitably a trace of jealousy in her eyes when she looks at Jiang Yan.
"Hello, I am Jiang Yan's husband, He Jiarong." Lin Yu took the initiative to extend his hand to the man in the suit.
"Hello, I'm Jiang Yan's... good friend, Li Junyi." Li Junyi stretched out his hand to shake Lin Yu's hand with a smile, but he secretly strengthened his hand.
He felt that with the strength of his wrist, the thin Lin Yu would definitely cry out in pain.
But what surprised him was that Lin Yu's expression was dull, but he suddenly felt a huge force on his hand, and a heartbreaking pain suddenly surged into his chest.
Fortunately, Lin Yu let go of his hand at this time, otherwise he would have screamed out in pain.
Li Junyi hid his hand behind his back and shook it, and looked at Lin Yu with a fierce look in his eyes. It seemed that Jiang Yan's useless husband was really quite powerful.
When he returned to Qinghai this time, in addition to attending the rough stone auction, he also wanted to meet Jiang Yan. Naturally, he had already mastered all the information about Jiang Yan.
He knew that He Jiarong was a loser who could only eat soft food, so he asked directly: "Mr. He, you are so lucky to marry Jiang Yan. I wonder where you can find a job?"
"I don't have a job for the time being." Lin Yu felt a little guilty when asked, but his face remained calm.
"Oh? So it's Jiang Yan who is raising you? It's really enviable." Li Junyi had a hint of sarcasm on his face and glanced at Jiang Yan inadvertently.
"With Jiarong's ability, wouldn't it be a matter of minutes to find a job with an annual income of tens of millions?!" Shen Yuxuan was very unhappy when he saw that Li Junyi was so arrogant. If the rough stone conference was not about to start soon, he would be very unhappy.
You can't beat him.
"What ability? What ability can a loser have? What ability can he have to eat soft food?" Li Junyi raised his head and laughed, then said to Jiang Yan with cold eyes: "Jiang Yan, I thought you could find me if you dumped me.
What a powerful person he is, but he didn’t expect to find a loser who can’t even support himself!”
He tried his best to suppress his anger, and his words were extremely cold. It was obvious that he still held a grudge against Jiang Yan for dumping him.
Jiang Yan pursed her lips tightly and remained silent.
"Husband~!" The rich girl next to him pulled him coquettishly, looking rather unhappy.
"I'm sorry, honey, I told you that she and I are already in the past tense." Li Junyi patted the rich girl's hand, raised his head and said to Jiang Yan: "I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce you, this is my lover. , Shen Aijia, the daughter of Ling’an Municipal Party Committee Secretary.”
Li Junyi's expression was quite arrogant, as if he was telling Jiang Yan, look what you are looking for, and look at how noble the person I am looking for is.
Jiang Yan lowered his head, feeling depressed and already falling into painful memories.
Those sweet moments were like sharp swords, cutting her heart into pieces.
Especially the scene of Li Junyi lying on a woman's body has been a nightmare that has lingered for her for so many years.
She couldn't believe that her first love, the man who told her one morning that he would love you till death, fell on top of another woman at night.
Moreover, Li Junyi turned around and blamed her, claiming that if Jiang Yan hadn't allowed him to touch her, how could he have had another woman.
This is also the reason why Jiang Yan has been in pain for so many years. She always wonders whether it was her own fault and whether it was her own conservatism that led to the final breakup.
Since then, she has lost confidence in men, which is why she willingly married He Jiarong.
"Mr. Li, the rough stone conference is about to begin. Please go upstairs to prepare."
At this time, Zhou Chen saw that the atmosphere was tense and quickly stood up and made an inviting gesture to Li Junyi.
Li Junyi snorted coldly, straightened his clothes, hugged his wife and left.
"Bah, what the hell! What are you crazy about?" Shen Yuxuan looked at his back and cursed bitterly.
"Don't mention it, he is really quite capable. He came back from studying at Yale University three years ago and founded his own company, specializing in jewelry business. In just two years, he became a giant in Ling'an jewelry industry. Although he can't live without Without the help of his father-in-law, his ability is also evident."
Zhou Chen shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, "I heard that he was ready to come to Qinghai to open a branch, so the Qinghai Propaganda Department specially invited him here this time. When the auction is over, he will also speak on stage as an outstanding representative of returnees. Well, it’s not easy for me to offend you.”
"I think it's a turtle, look at it, its nostrils are pointing upwards." Shen Yuxuan said angrily, a little aggrieved for Lin Yu. He didn't know why Lin Yu didn't react when Li Junyi humiliated Lin Yu so much just now.
Lin Yu was not angry at all, but in this situation, he couldn't hit someone.
Moreover, what Li Junyi teased him about was all true. He couldn't refute it, he could only accept it patiently. Who could let He Jiarong fail to live up to his expectations?
He knew that Jiang Yan felt even more uncomfortable than him at this moment.
"If you feel uncomfortable, we can leave here." Lin Yu said softly to Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan was silent for a moment, then shook her head, "Didn't you say that? There is no use in escaping. The only way to let go is to face it."
After speaking, Jiang Yan raised her head and her expression became determined. Then she took the initiative to hold Lin Yu's arm and said softly: "Let's go upstairs."
"Okay, let's go upstairs."
Lin Yu gently held Jiang Yan's hand on his arm. His voice was not loud, but he said firmly: "I promise you, tonight, I will get back for you everything you have lost over the years!"
