C45

Xuebao had not even graduated from university. It was not easy to find a job without a degree. After a few times, she felt a little disheartened.

Old Master Yan suggested that she go to work at the Yan family, but was rejected by her, who desperately wanted face.

She decided that if she could not find a job, she would ask Lan Ning for help. She might as well go to the bar and work full-time. However, it was not possible to work at the bar. The Yan Family would not allow her to work in that kind of place.

These few days, not only did she have to avoid Lin Jian, she also had to avoid Lan Ning. Life was boring and fulfilling. Today, as usual, she dragged her tired body back to the Yan Family. She didn't even want to eat, so she went upstairs. She happened to bump into Yan Junyi on the second floor. She didn't even greet him before walking past him and into her bedroom.

Yan Junyi looked at her exhausted figure. After hesitating for a moment, he walked towards the study and returned to the first floor after a while.

When Xuebao returned to her room to take a shower and walked out of the bathroom, a maid happened to walk in. She held a sumptuous dinner in her hand and respectfully said, "Young Madam, Young Master asked me to bring dinner to your room. Please enjoy."

"Put it down. Thank you." Xuebao glanced at the food and played with the telescope that she had bought not long ago in her hand. She snorted coldly in her heart. He wanted to please her with just one meal? It was not that easy!

After the maid left, she didn't even look at dinner. She took the binoculars and walked upstairs. Almost every night, she would come to the roof and use the binoculars to carefully observe the south yard's movements.

Unfortunately, ever since Old Master Yan's legal matter, she could not see Yi Yuer again. Maybe she was locked up somewhere else? She thought in her heart, put away the telescope, and turned to go downstairs.

Just as she turned around, she was shocked by the sudden appearance of the figure. Xuebao was shocked on the spot. Yan Meiqi? When did she start standing behind her? Then she knew what she was doing just now?

Yan Meiqi also had a look of surprise but she quickly reacted and asked with a smile, "Sister-in-law, what are you looking at?"

"I..." Xuebao was stunned and did not know how to open her mouth for a moment. The telescope in her hand unconsciously hid behind her and laughed dryly, "The room is a little stuffy. I came up to take a breather and look at the stars."

Yan Meiqi looked at her suspiciously and her gaze finally landed on the arm that she hid behind her back. She smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, what is hidden behind you? Why is it so mysterious?"

Her expression made Xuebao's heart start to sink. She did not know how long Yan Meiqi had been standing behind her. But she could tell that she definitely knew what she was doing just now. Did she feel that she already knew that Yi Yuer was not dead? Would she die because of this? She did not know, but she was very afraid in her heart!

"It's nothing, just a telescope used to look at the stars." Xuebao took out the telescope from behind and raised it in front of her.

"So it's a telescope." Yan Meiqi made a sound of "Oh and walked to the side of the fence and lightly jumped onto it. She smiled and said, I also came up to get some air. I did not expect to bump into you. Come, come up and sit for a while."

Xuebao looked at the extremely dangerous fence and hurriedly shook her head. "No, I am not sitting. Just stand."

Yan Meiqi did not make things difficult for her. Her legs, which were suspended in the air, were shaking. She still had a smile on her face and suddenly asked as if she thought of something, "Oh right sister-in-law, didn't you say you want to learn 'Han Palace Autumn Moon'? Why didn't you come to me to learn it these few days?"

Xuebao was surprised as she looked at her harmless but mysterious smiling face. An impulse suddenly surged in her heart as she stared indifferently at her. She gritted her teeth and said, "Mei Qi, you don't need to test me anymore. That's right. I already know Yi Yuer..."

"Sister-in-law!" Yan Meiqi's face instantly turned pale and she hurriedly jumped down from the fence. She covered her mouth and said, "Don't speak so loudly. Quickly follow me to the room and talk."

After saying that, she did not care whether Xuebao was willing or not and dragged her downstairs to jog. Xuebao originally did not want to continue pretending. It was also good to find out from her! He let her drag him into her bedroom.

Yan Meiqi threw Xuebao into the room and stretched out her head to look around before locking the door. She turned around and stuck her body on the door and stared blankly at Xuebao. What did she know? The fact that Yi Yuer did not die?

Yan Meiqi's heart was beating a small drum as she sized Xuebao up and asked, "Sister-in-law, what do you know?"

Xuebao looked at her frightened face and sneered, "I know that Yi Yuer is still alive. That night, you did not play the 'Autumn Moon of Han Palace'. It was her, right?"

Yan Meiqi was even more shocked and even stared at her with some lingering fear. After a long time, she replied and shook her head in panic, "Sister-in-law, listen to me. I did not mean to lie to you and Big Brother. That night, I heard Yi Yuer playing the piano. I don't know where it came from. The people in the house were all anxious and hurriedly ran to stop her. And... They dragged me to south yard to put on an act... "

Xuebao had long thought of this, but when she heard her own admission, she was still surprised. She finally knew why the sound of the zither suddenly stopped, it was forcefully interrupted. Sure enough, it was Yi Yuer playing the piano and calling for help!

"Sister-in-law, you didn't tell big brother, right?" Yan Meiqi asked a very unnecessary question, and after asking, she regretted it. If Yan Junyi had known, his family would have turned upside down a long time ago. Would they still be as peaceful as they were now?

Xuebao shook her head and said, "But I will definitely tell him. You guys don't even know how much he loves Yi Yuer. Doing this to him is too cruel!" Yi Yuer clearly did not die nor did she go crazy, but she was forced to separate from Yan Junyi!

"No!" Yan Meiqi angrily said to her, "You cannot tell big brother, otherwise something big will definitely happen."

"Give me a reason, a reason not to say." Xuebao stared at her and said expressionlessly. Of course, she knew that Yan Junyi would cause a ruckus if he knew, but this was not enough to make her keep this secret for the rest of her life!

She already knew that Yi Yuer was still alive, so Yan Meiqi had to tell her the truth. After hesitating for a moment, she helplessly said, "Yi Yuer is simply a liar. She wants to be the Yan Family's Young Madam and wants to go crazy. Everything she did had a purpose but her big brother was bewitched by her. Dad used a trick to lock her up in south yard for the sake of big brother. "

"Her goal is to obtain love. What's wrong with that?" Her fault was that she was just the daughter of an ordinary family. This kind of woman must have a motive to marry a rich person. She was looked down upon by others, just like herself!

"You have never gotten along with Yi Yuer. You have no idea how fake that person is. In front of big brother and in front of others, they are two completely different people. Dad really can't stand it anymore, that's why he would do that. Dad is doing this for big brother's good, so please don't tell big brother." When Yi Yuer was mentioned, Yan Meiqi's face was filled with anger, as if she wanted to chop her up.

Xuebao felt that her anger was a little too exaggerated and there was clearly a trace of unusual hatred in her eyes. She carefully asked, "Was Yi Yuer's abortion done by Dad? Then what is the matter with the cold body of Yi Yuer?"

She remembered very clearly that Yan Junyi said that he personally carried Yi Yuer's corpse from Bai Ling, personally sent her into the coffin, and personally sent her ashes to Stone Flower Mountain Cemetery!

Yan Meiqi nodded hesitantly and said," Dad forced her to take the medicine that made her body stiff and cold. Big Brother, who was in a daze, did not feel it. He thought that she was really dead and always believed that she was dead! "

Yan Junyi had always said that Yi Yuer was a very good woman. A person could pretend to be a good woman for one or two months. How could she pretend to be a good woman for a few years? Was it Yan Junyi who was cheated, or was Yan Meiqi lying? She did not know!

Yan Meiqi held her hand and said worriedly, "Sister-in-law, don't you want to live a good life with big brother? If you want to, just pretend that you never knew about this matter. Otherwise, you will lose big brother and lose to Yu Er. When Dad finds out about this, in order to seal your mouth, he will definitely do something as cruel as Yu Er to you. So, no matter if it is for your big brother or for yourself, don't tell anyone about this matter. Do you know?"

"My conscience will be uneasy for the rest of my life." Xuebao grabbed the hair on her head. What exactly was going on? Who was right and who was wrong? She was the only one who knew how much pain Yan Junyi felt after losing Yu Er. He wanted her to lie to him for the rest of her life because of her selfishness? She really could not do it!

"Don't worry. Trust me, Yi Yuer is a scheming and vain woman. She is not worthy of Big Brother's love. You are doing this to save Big Brother, do you understand?" Yan Meiqi earnestly said.

After thinking for a while, she continued to speak," Sister-in-law, don't worry. I will not tell Dad that you know about this matter. Just pretend that you don't know. Don't mention it again in the future. Also, don't be interested in this matter anymore. "

Xuebao answered in a daze, then slowly turned around and opened the door, walking towards the door. Her mind was in a mess. This news really surprised her too much. It was simply unreasonable and not smooth.

Yi Yuer looked like a gentle and refined person. How could it be like what Yan Meiqi said? She really could not believe it!

Walking back to her room in a daze, Xuebao saw Yan Junyi unexpectedly. Yan Junyi, who had never come to her room, actually came to her place? What on earth was going on?

Xuebao stood by the door and looked at him blankly. She waited for him to speak first. Yan Junyi, who was standing in front of the French window, walked over when he saw her. He looked at her and asked, "Where did you go?"

"Look at the stars." Xuebao answered instinctively and slightly raised her small face to look at him. She carefully sized him up as if it was the first time she saw him. A trace of sympathy flashed across her heart. He... was very pitiful. The person she loved was clearly by his side. He had not seen him for eight years!

Yan Junyi sized up the absent-minded her. Finally, his gaze landed on the telescope in her hand and said indifferently, "This kind of telescope is not used to see the stars. In the future, you don't need to waste time looking at it."

Xuebao recovered slightly and only then remembered to ask him what he came here for. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "What do you want from me?" It was not time to rest yet, so he usually would not look for her.

Yan Junyi looked at the cold dishes in the room and asked seriously, "Sister Ling said you don't want to eat dinner. Why?"

Xuebao was surprised. Was it because of this? Was he concerned about her? Her chest, which seemed to have been stuffed with cotton, became much smoother. She replied softly, "I just did not have an appetite. I will eat now." As she spoke, she walked towards the side of the table.

Yan Junyi grabbed her arm and stared at her with dissatisfaction. He scolded her, "Do you have any common sense of health? How can you eat cold food? Sister Ling has already gone down to prepare. She will be served right away."

It was obviously because of her concern, yet she insisted on saying it so harshly. Xuebao rolled her eyes snappily and said," What's there to be afraid of when it's cold food? In the past, when my mom didn't have time to care about me, she often cooked in the morning and ate in the afternoon. She didn't see that I had anything to do with it."

"Why is it fine? If it was a normal meal back then, would you have become as useless as you are now?" Yan Junyi's words made Xuebao want to vomit blood. Did she really do that? At most, she would only be a bit more powerful than Yi Yuer!

Forget it. Seeing that he took the initiative to care about her tonight, she forgave him first.
