Chapter 162
Coming out of the office, it was already late, evening study had already passed most of the time, students were in the classrooms, the whole campus was quiet.
The moonlight sprinkled down like water, falling onto the trees, through the leaves, speckled, cutting out shadows of different shapes.
Some of the shadows fell on Ling Yuan’s body, his face was bright and dark in the light, but his contour lines were extremely clear, with an indescribable good look.
Ji Yu and Ling Yuan walked side by side, making rustling sounds.
She softened her voice and asked, “How did you find your way here just now?”
Ling Yuan grabbed her soft little hand and felt that the palm of his hand was warm before letting it go, “The heart is in the right place.”
After speaking, he asked, “Why didn’t you tell me about your mom?”
The two of them, Ling Yuan’s family is not hidden, should know all know.
Bai Yang’s side he was thinking that he could be a little late, Bai Yang could possibly oppose their relationship, after all, in the eyes of the average parent, they are also considered to be in early love like this, but he did not expect Bai Yang to directly find Ji Yu’s homeroom teacher, and he thought that he would be the first person she would look for.
In fact, Bai Yang had thought of looking for him, but thinking of what Liang Zhongwen had said, she eventually dismissed the idea.
Ji Yu hooked her lips and smiled, ”It’s just a small matter, I can handle it. If I talk to you about everything, wouldn’t that make me look extremely useless?”
The little girl reached out and stroked the broken hair in front of her forehead, revealing her snow-white, glossy skin, which was especially crystalline in the dim light, but the circle of greenish blackness under her eyes couldn’t be fooled either.
Ling Yuan poked her somewhat baby-fat face, a little heartbroken, “What did your mom say? Did she give you a lot of pressure? Did you not sleep well at night?”
Ji Yu pulls away from his hand, “I didn’t sleep well at night because I’ve been under a bit of pressure from my studies lately, it has nothing to do with my mom’s side.”
Ling Yuan is still worried, “Otherwise, why don’t you leave your mom’s side to me?”
“I can handle it, don’t worry senior.”
On Bai Yang’s side, Ji Yu already had some thoughts.
Always feeling that it’s not that simple, Ling Yuan slightly bends down, comes closer, stares into her eyes, “Really? If it doesn’t move your mom is going to tell me.”
“Uh-huh.”
The little girl nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice, “Don’t worry, can’t handle it definitely find you.”
“Good. Still going back to class?”
“Back.” Ji Yu raised her eyes to look at him and said, “Senior, you have to study hard and do well in the college entrance exam.”
“Of course, wait for me to get a top student to show you.”
“A promise is a promise.”
“A promise is a promise.”
On Saturday morning, Ji Yu returned to Liang’s house, and when she entered, she saw Liang Zhongwen sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.
She greeted, “Uncle Liang.”
Liang Zhongwen looked up from the newspaper, “Oh, Ji Yu is back.”
After a pause, he added, “Your mom is upstairs.”
“Thank you Uncle Liang.”
When Ji Yu was about to go up the stairs, he suddenly stopped and turned to Liang Zhongwen, “Uncle Liang, can I talk to you?”
If you wanted to convince Bai Yang, you had to find someone who could talk to Bai Yang.
And Liang Zhongwen was that person.
Liang Zhongwen sniffed, put away the newspaper and stood up, “Come to my study.”
Ji Yu followed Liang Zhongwen into his study, and when he sat down, he spoke directly, “Uncle Liang, are you against me and Ling Yuan being together?”
Liang Zhongwen didn’t expect Ji Yu to be so straight balled and not bend at all, so he was blunt as well, “Yes.”
“Why?”
Liang Zhongwen glanced at her, “This is something that originally you didn’t come to me, and was also prepared to let your mom find you to talk about it. Xiaoyu ah, you have to know the gap between you and Ling Yuan, it’s an insurmountable chasm. Ordinary people who haven’t experienced it will probably never be able to imagine what people’s families are called mansions.”
He asks, “Do you know what Ling Yuan’s grandfather’s status was once upon a time?”
Ji Yu shook his head, “I don’t know.”
“Let me put it to you this way, if Grandpa Ling went to the capital city, the mayor of the capital city would have to treat him as a guest of honor, such a family, do you think they can accept you?”
“The gap between you and Ling Yuan, you may not quite understand, let me be more specific for you, it’s like a pyramid, he is the one who stands at the tip of the tower, and you, you can’t even reach the halfway point yet. Of course, I’m not denying your excellence, but how can I say it, you’re not even in the same world.”
Ji Yu lowered her head and didn’t answer, but her eyelashes trembled gently.
Liang Zhongwen didn’t miss this small action of hers and continued, “From my perspective, it’s not a wise choice for you to be together. Just like your brother Zihao, if the person he likes isn’t a door-to-door family, I wouldn’t have agreed so easily.”
Ji Yu still didn’t answer.
“And most importantly, the Ling family won’t play around with their children’s happiness, so if you want to use side channels, I’d advise you to dismiss the idea before it’s too late. I’m kind of in the same boat as you and your mom, our Liang family and the Ling family are close partners and friends, I don’t really want to alienate myself from them because of this.”
Once Chi Yu heard this, she looked up incredulously at Liang Zhongwen, her face vaguely angry.
Liang Zhongwen gave her a strange look instead, “What? Did I say something wrong? I’ll be honest with you, I warned your mom not to go and make small moves, but, from what I’ve seen and heard, the results didn’t go my way.”
Ji Yu raised his eyes, his voice clear, “What does Uncle Liang mean by sidekicks? My father once said that I’m the little princess he holds in his heart, I don’t need to bend over and pinch myself for anyone, because of his words, I’ve never belittled myself, and I’ve never felt inferior. I’m not young grass, I don’t want to be a lingxiao flower, I don’t need to climb on others in order to live, I have my own bottom to live.”
“Ling Yuan and I are bright and honest like, never mixed with other colors, how the other people, and what has it got to do with me?”
“So, I don’t know where your misunderstanding came from, Uncle Liang.”
Liang Zhongwen was stunned, then he asked, “You didn’t approach Ling Yuan because your mom said something to you you?”
“No.”
Ji Yu said, “I don’t know why you’re asking such a question, but I must make it clear that I’ve never used any unseemly human means to do anything.”
“Then let me ask you, what were you doing on the day of Ling Yuan’s Bar Mitzvah?”
Ji Yu replied, “On that day, I made a date with a few classmates to wear Chinese dress to take pictures with Senior Ling and the others ah.”
“I heard some not-so-good gossip about you ……” Liang Zhongwen slowly exhaled and knew that he had been overly arbitrary, and immediately apologized to her, “I’m sorry, Little Fish, I may have misunderstood you ……”
He explained, “I told your mom not to get involved in Ling Yuan’s affairs.”
He told Ji Yue what Bai Yang had said to him that day, “I always thought that it was because old lady Ling said those words in front of your mom, your mom encouraged you to go …… and then happened to hear some gossip at your school, and a few coincidences caused today’s misunderstanding. Misunderstanding, all misunderstanding.”
