Jin pursed her pink lips and bravely raised her eyes to meet the middle-aged woman's gaze. She said softly, "Excuse me." She was already mentally prepared.
Murong Lanjuan saw the sincerity in the girl's eyes, and she thought she would answer seriously.
Therefore, Lan Juan did not put any pressure. She asked in the tone of a friend, "Who was that boy yesterday?"
The smart Jin Yi had guessed that she would ask this.
So, the girl answered truthfully, "Auntie, his name is Chu Hang, he is the son of my professional teacher. We have known each other since childhood and grew up together. He has confessed to me many times because I have no feelings for him, so
I have always refused."
Lan Juan also guessed that if Jin Yi likes that boy, then why is there a light of love in Jun Yue's eyes?
"You saw us hugging each other last night. In fact, it was just a simple farewell hug." Jin Yi explained very sincerely, "Because before this, we made it clear that he also planned to give up his entanglement with me.
"
After hearing such words, Murong Lanjuan was very pleased. It was really a plus point for her not to be sloppy in her relationship. Nowadays, some girls always like to hang on to others, neither agreeing nor rejecting them. From time to time, they also accept small gifts from others to make themselves look more attractive.
Very charming.
"Very good." Lanjuan responded to her confession.
Then the two chatted again, and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed and happy. Finally, Lan Juan said to her, "Jin Yi, you still have to hide this matter first. You can live your life how you want. Let's take it one step at a time. Okay.
?”
She knew that auntie was worried that grandma wouldn't be able to bear it after she found out, after all, she was old.
So, the girl nodded, "Okay."
About ten more minutes passed...
The two of them finished their cups of coffee before standing up and leaving. Lan Juan asked the driver to drive Jin Yi back to the apartment downstairs, and then returned to Shengwan Manor.
Along the way, she turned her eyes and looked at the scenery outside the window, her face looking a little solemn.
After returning home, Lanjuan regained her gentle look. Grandma asked her what she was doing this afternoon, but Lanjuan found an excuse and did not tell the truth.
After dinner, Lanjuan entered the study room. She locked the door on purpose, took out her mobile phone and dialed her son's number.
It worked, but it didn't shut down.
After a while, the call was connected, and my son's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, "Mom."
"Jun Yue, I'll give you a chance to confess. What are you hiding from us?" Lan Juan got straight to the point.
There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.
But Jun Yue knew very well that the fake engagement was probably discovered.
Lan Juan gave him enough time to think and did not rush him.
After a while, she asked in a gentle voice, "Then mom is asking you now, do you like Jin Yi?"
Jun Yue continued to remain silent and did not reply to her immediately because he could not figure out what happened to his mother.
"Son, if you like him, you have to be more careful." The mother reminded, "There is a boy beside her chasing her. Although she doesn't like him and rejects him, he doesn't give up."
At this time, Jun Yue had just returned from the research institute after working for 24 hours straight.
At the moment, he is in the study room of his apartment. His QQ mailbox is open. It is a page for replying to emails, and some words are also typed on it.
Yes, he was going to reply to Bubu's email...and then his mother called.
"I understand." Jun Yue's voice was low, and then he tried to explain, "About the engagement..."
"You don't need to explain the engagement anymore." Murong Lanjuan said to him warmly, "I saw Jin Yi's parents in a short drama, and I found out about the situation only after I found them. You don't have to blame Jin Yi for this."
, that little girl is trying her best to help you, and of course I don’t blame her."
"Mom is making this call just to remind you that grandma likes Jin Yi very much, as do your father and I, and Jin Yi also likes you. If you like her too, don't miss it." Murong Lan
Juan was very clear-headed and emphasized again, "There is really a suitor beside her. If you don't pay attention, she will become someone else's bride."
