Chapter 224 It’s not a life-saving straw, it’s a gift 4
Wen Ling rummaged around and pulled out a string of old mountain sandalwood bracelets from a box in the corner. Judging from the color, they looked quite old. Wen Ling had bought them and had them specially blessed in a temple. He had originally intended to give them to his brother Wen Yu. As the male protagonist of the plot, there were many dangers around him when he took over the Wen family's business.
Now, Wen Ling looked at the bracelet in her hand and felt that Wen Yu did not need the heroine's care.
In Ji Wenli's room, the young man was wearing black pajamas and pants. His top was slightly loose and tilted to one side, revealing his delicate collarbone. He wiped his hair with a towel with one hand, and picked up the mobile phone on the bed with the other hand, opened it and looked at the transfer information on it. He glanced at it without any emotion and threw it on the bed.
There was a knock on the door. Ji Wenli stopped wiping his hair and opened the door. What caught his eye was a smiling face with curved eyebrows and eyes.
"Is something wrong?"
Ji Wenli's eyes trembled for a moment, and he casually put the towel on his shoulders and looked at her indifferently.
Wen Ling ignored his aura that kept people at a distance and raised the old sandalwood bracelet in her hand.
"birthday present."
Her eyes were filled with smiles, as if filled with tiny starlight. Ji Wenli's breathing stopped for a moment, and then he resumed. The light reflected across his sharp eyebrows, making him look fierce and difficult to approach.
But Wen Ling could completely ignore it. Not to mention that she already knew Ji Wenli's feelings from the plot, the men in the Wen family looked more ferocious than each other.
I heard that Wen Huai snatched Shen Nan back from her wedding with a gun.
In the early part of the story, the heroine felt that Wen Yu was cruel and ruthless, so she kept staying away from Wen Yu.
So growing up in such a family, he would naturally not be scared away by Ji Wenli's deliberate coldness and fierceness.
"unnecessary."
Ji Wenli glanced at the bracelet, then raised his head again, looking at the 2.58 million yuan it cost, as if Wen Ling giving him the bracelet was completely unnecessary and no one would care.
Wen Ling's eyebrows curved and her smile became even brighter. The more she lacked love, the more she was willing to wrap herself up like a hedgehog.
Wen Ling didn't care at all and forcefully pulled his hand over and stuffed the bracelet into his hand.
"I had this blessed by a master at the temple to ensure safety."
After he finished speaking, he ran back to the room. Only the sound of a door slamming woke Ji Wenli up.
On the palm of her hand, the old mountain sandalwood bracelet shone in the light.
Ji Wenli lowered his eyes and stared for a long time, then turned his head away as if in disdain.
"Who cares?"
Although she said that, her hands were honestly clenched tightly. She forgot to blow-dry her hair when she returned to the room. She just stared at it quietly, and a feeling of joy spread in her heart.
Then he thought of what she had said before, his eyes darkened, and he put the bracelet into the small cabinet beside the bed.
He sat on the edge of the bed, with the back of his hands pressed against his eyes, a mocking laugh escaped his lips.
When he returned to the room, Shen Nan, who knew Wen Ling's daily routine well, called.
A gentle light flashed across Wen Ling's eyes. Now she could be calm and enjoy the love from her family.
"Mother."
When Shen Nan heard Wen Ling's voice, a tender look appeared between his eyebrows.
"Is Ah Ling doing well in the country recently?"
……
After chatting with Shen Nan about recent developments, Shen Nan hesitated and spoke.
"Have you ever thought about moving out, Ling? Although our family and the Ji family have a close relationship, it's still someone else's family after all."
Wen Ling understood that Shen Nan was subtly expressing his disapproval of the child marriage with Ji Wen'an.
"It's time to move out. You and Dad should talk things over with Aunt Gu and the others about Mom's child marriage."
Shen Nan, on the other end of the line, was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. She could tell Wen Ling was likely willing to have this child marriage, but she disagreed.
She felt sorry for Wen An, who had suffered from illness since childhood, but that was all she could do. People are biased, and she had to consider her daughter's happiness.
"Okay, okay, I'll have someone arrange a house for you in City A. When you move out, I'll talk to Aunt Gu about the child marriage."
There is nothing much to say in the first place, it's just what the older generation said, whether there was any written document or any token of exchange.
It is enough to just give the other party a unilateral hint, and it will not hurt the harmony between the two parties.
The next morning, Wen Ling went downstairs and saw Gu Mian and Ji Wen'an, but did not see Ji Wenli.
"Ah Ling, come and eat."
Gu Mian called Wen Ling over, and Ji Wen'an also smiled gently at Wen Ling and asked her how she slept last night.
"Auntie, my mother has arranged a place for me to live in City A. I'm sorry to bother you for so long. I'll be moving out in a couple of days."
Gu Mian paused as he was serving the porridge, and Ji Wen'an also turned his head to look over.
"Why do you want to move out? Isn't it good here, Auntie?"
Wen Ling still had a smile on her face, "It's time for me to live independently."
There was nothing wrong with what he said, but Gu Mian and Ji Wen'an both thought of a deeper level.
For a moment, Ji Wen'an tightened his grip on the soup spoon. His emotions were churning inside him, but he didn't show it on his face. He looked at Wen Ling like the older brother next door.
"A Ling, you must take good care of yourself when you're out there alone. It's a pity I can't help you much."
Wen Ling had to admit that Ji Wen was very good at acting pitiful. It didn't seem deliberate at all, and it aroused sympathy and pity.
Wen Ling smiled back, "I don't need Brother Wen An's help, I can handle it myself."
Pretending to be calm and not sensing Ji Wen'an's emotions, sometimes playing dumb is really a good strategy.
Ji Wen'an was spoiled by so many people since he was a child, which made his paranoia and distortion deepen step by step.
Gu Mian did not notice Ji Wen'an's emotions in time this time. At this time, the only thought in her mind was that this child engagement was really cancelled.
Shen Nan acted quickly and had the house cleaned up the next day, Sunday.
Wen Ling packed her luggage and gathered the suitcases together. She went downstairs to get some water and saw something was happening downstairs. Gu Mian and Liu Ma were frantically circling around Ji Wen'an.
Ji Wenli stood aside as if it had nothing to do with him.
Gu Mian was furious when she saw his indifferent look. "Why are you still standing here? Hurry and pour me a glass of water."
Aunt Liu had already brought the medicine box and started to take out the medicine.
Ji Wen'an indifferently poured a glass of water and handed it over. Perhaps unintentionally, Ji Wen'an went to take the glass of water but unexpectedly the cup fell to the ground and broke into pieces. The fragments exploded with a crisp and loud sound.
Seeing this, Aunt Liu hurried to pour water.
Ji Wen'an looked into Ji Wenli's dark eyes that showed no emotion and smiled weakly.
"I'm so useless that I can't even catch a glass of water."
Upon hearing Ji Wen'an's self-deprecating words, Gu Mian, who was about to criticize Ji Wenli, changed his mind and squatted beside Ji Wen'an.
"What's useless? Don't say such things again. You are just sick."
Seeing Ji Wen'an's complexion improved, Gu Mian breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Ji Wenli with a bad look.
"Your brother is just concerned about you. Why are you so ignorant and arguing with him?"
"Don't blame Ali, it's my own poor health."
As soon as these words came out, Gu Mian began to calm Ji Wen'an's emotions again.
Wen Ling stood on the second floor and watched the farce quietly. Perhaps because she had absorbed Wen Ling's memory of the plot, she understood Ji Wen'an better.
She had a hunch that Ji Wen'an was just taking out his anger on Ji Wenli because she said this morning that she wanted to move out, which made Ji Wen'an uncomfortable.
So he went to Ji Wenli to vent his emotions. He was enjoying the difference in the attention Gu Mian paid to his two brothers.
This was to calm the bad mood she had brought him in the morning.
