Chapter 264: Not coming early or late, being caught eavesdropping
Upon hearing this, Master Jiang coughed lightly, trying to ease the atmosphere, and said to Jiang Youzhen: "If you want to pursue a career in government in the future, you should still rely on yourself. When you go to the prefectural school, don't bother others easily. If you really can't make it, ask Li Xundao for help."
"Yes!" Jiang Youzhen nodded repeatedly.
Ke Zhenqiu's smile froze for a moment, and then he said to the three people calmly, "The dishes in this restaurant are very novel. For example, the roast duck, crab meat and mapo tofu are all very delicious. You three should try them carefully later."
Hmm! She was tired of eating these dishes. After listing the recipes, in order to achieve the best effect, she became a food taster and ate until she wanted to vomit.
The food came up quickly, finally easing the awkward atmosphere.
Ke Zhenqiu was quite polite. However, there were only four of them dining together, but he still ordered four cold dishes, eight hot dishes, a soup, and finally two dim sum.
No one talks during meals, as here people follow the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping.
As Jiang Youzhen was eating, he suddenly felt a dull pain in his stomach.
Covering her belly and putting down the shrimp that was about to reach her mouth, Jiang Youzhen suddenly remembered something that made her a little frightened.
No way? Could it be that the thing she had been dreading and looking forward to for so long had come now? It came at the wrong time!
"Junior brother, what's wrong with you? Why are you so pale?" Wen Ruyu asked with concern when she saw Jiang Youzhen's face suddenly turned as pale as paper with some beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Nothing, maybe you caught a cold. I'll excuse myself for a moment." Jiang Youzhen quickly stood up and walked quickly towards the door.
However, it was too late. A hot current quickly surged down, and Jiang Youzhen's face became even paler. Oh no!
"Look at you, why did you come at this time instead of earlier or later!" Thinking of Shen's constant nagging as to why Jiang Youzhen was already fourteen years old and still hadn't had his period.
Now, I'm really being talked about. You! Can't you wait until you get back? Jiang Youzhen took a deep breath, and when he saw that there was an open room in front of him, he immediately ran in.
She was familiar with this room. There was a corner behind the screen, which was very hidden and most people would not push open the screen.
There was no time to go to the toilet. Jiang Youzhen took a quick look and found that there were indeed traces.
Fortunately, she had made all the necessary preparations. Not only were there clean fur pants in the space, but Jiang Youzhen also had the Shen family make special sanitary napkins for her and the others. There was also warm water in case of emergency.
Jiang Youzhen quickly took off her pants and put them in the space, then cleaned herself up quickly and put on a sanitary napkin. After finishing all these steps, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Her heart was about to jump out of her chest. Even if she moved quickly, she was still nervous. If someone really came, wouldn't she be doomed?
He patted his chest, which was still a little painful. The chest binder was a little tight, Jiang Youzhen hesitated for a moment, then unbuttoned his clothes to loosen it a little.
"Brother still won't forgive me?"
A familiar voice sounded along with the footsteps, which startled Jiang Youzhen.
"What's the point of talking about forgiveness? Who are you now? What right do I have to forgive you? You left without hesitation back then, and now we have nothing to do with each other anymore."
"Is there no room for change? I had my own difficulties at the beginning." There was helplessness and sadness in his voice, although the tone was still light.
"What's your reason? Auntie missed you day and night at home, and cried until her eyes went blind. But what about you? You are living happily with your wealth and glory. If you hadn't left, how could Auntie cry day and night, and finally become terminally ill and pass away?"
He was very excited and his voice was much louder than before.
"I know it's my fault. I don't want to make excuses, but the truth is far from what you think."
"Okay! You said you had your reasons, but why didn't you reply to my seven letters? Until the last night, I asked you to come back and see her, but you still didn't reply. In that lonely and cold night, I was the only one who was mourning by her side.
After three years of mourning, you still refuse to come back. I still don't understand how a person can be so cold-blooded and ungrateful. "
"I! I didn't receive the letter, cough cough cough! Cough cough..." A violent coughing sound was heard, and the voice was intermittent.
"No letter, I'm not at home, I'm at..."
"What about the day of mourning? I went to your house to look for you. The doorman said he would inform you. Don't tell him you're not at home. The doorman came back and said you didn't see me."
At this point, his voice was choked up.
"After all, you are no longer a member of the Wen family. When your uncle died unexpectedly, you chose to be adopted. That was your choice. People go to high places, and water flows to low places. I have never heard my aunt blame you.
She said she couldn't support you, so you could be adopted. Although I was disappointed, I chose to forgive you, but what you did wiped out the last bit of our affection."
Jiang Youzhen put on his clothes carefully and listened to the conversation between the two people outside. He finally grasped a lot of information from it.
Ke Zhenqiu was originally from the Wen family? It seems that the two were cousins. After Wen Ruyu's uncle died, Ke Zhenqiu was adopted by the Ke family. After that, Ke's mother must have been devastated and passed away.
"I know it's useless to say more now, but I'm definitely not such a heartless person..."
"Let's not talk about the past! I came here today, first for Master Jiang, and second to end things with you. Since you have been adopted, you are no longer a relative of mine. You can go your way and I will go mine. Let's part ways. Don't ask anyone to speak for you anymore. We don't need to see each other again."
The heavy footsteps faded away, and Jiang Youzhen had already put away his waist belt.
Tsk tsk! If Ke Zhenqiu really did this, then he is indeed very cruel.
No matter what the reason is, she is your own mother who gave birth to you and raised you, and you are unwilling to go and see her? With so much time, even if she went to see her on weekdays, I believe Wen Ruyu would not be so angry.
If that's the case, then it's understandable why Wen Ruyu is so angry. In this case, there is indeed something wrong with his character!
Alas! He looks like a decent person, but I didn't expect him to be so cold-blooded.
Ke Zhenqiu was about to leave when suddenly a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
He walked slowly towards the screen. Jiang Youzhen straightened his clothes and then took a look at his whole body. He found nothing wrong and felt relieved.
However, the next moment, the screen was suddenly pulled open by someone, and a cold face appeared before his eyes.
Jiang Youzhen was shocked and immediately turned around to look.
When their eyes met, a sense of silence spread around them. Looking straight into the calm eyes, Jiang Youzhen couldn't help but feel a chill running down his spine.
"Huh? Senior Brother Ke? What a coincidence!" Jiang Youzhen smiled awkwardly. She couldn't find any good excuse for a moment.
"Didn't Junior Brother go to the toilet? Why are you here?" Ke Zhenqiu put his left hand behind his back and held the screen with his right hand, his pale face as calm as water.
