Lin Chengyu was helpless. He cut to the chase and explained the situation of the Jia family to Jia Baoyu clearly. Only then did he stop the tears that were about to fall.

Jia Baoyu breathed a sigh of relief, and although there were still tears in his eyes, his complexion looked much better.

However, from beginning to end, he never showed any intention of returning to Beijing with Lin Chengyu and others.

But after a while, after Lin Chengyu and Yuan Yuan finished their business and left, Jia Baoyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. The stone hanging in his heart was finally put down.

Yuan Yuan didn't like beating around the bush and asked straight to the point, "Don't you want to go home with them?"

She had thought that a sentimental man like Jia Baoyu would always miss his relatives, but she never expected that he would react like this.

"I do think so." Jia Baoyu sighed softly, "But if I leave, what will you do?"

Yuan Yuan's eyes became much gentler, and she looked like she was in love.

"If it's because of me, then you don't have to worry. I'm alone, so naturally I'll go wherever you go, and we'll never be apart."

Jia Baoyu was stunned and suddenly didn't know what to say.

In fact, he didn't want to follow Lin Chengyu back to Beijing, not just because of Yuan Yuan.

More importantly, his stubborn and inflexible father would definitely start lecturing him as soon as he saw him, which would be extremely annoying.

Jia Baoyu sometimes thought that if he had a son, he would definitely not be as strict as his father.

What about career and economics? It’s all bullshit.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Yuan Yuan became even more confused.

Logically speaking, even if a person puts his loved one before his relatives, Jia Baoyu's reaction should not be the same as it is now.

She lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in her eyes and comforted her: "If you want to go home, I will go back with you. If you want to stay here--"

Before she could finish her words, Jia Baoyu interrupted her urgently, "I won't leave!"

Yuan Yuan hurriedly comforted him, "Okay, we won't leave. We won't leave."

She didn't show it on her face, but Jia Baoyu's strange reaction made people feel a little suspicious.

From that day on, Jia Baoyu hoped day and night that Lin Chengyu and the others would leave here as soon as possible.

In the past few days, he tossed and turned every night and couldn't fall asleep because he was afraid that Lin Chengyu would forcefully take him back to Beijing.

But he didn't know that Lin Chengyu had no intention of paying any attention to him at all.

Lin Chengyu didn't care at all whether he left or not.

But life nowadays is so boring, and it would be too hard to endure if I don’t find something to play with.

Just at this time, Jia Baoyu came, which was like a pillow given to someone who was sleepy.

Lin Chengyu asked in a confused manner, "Has Second Brother Bao made up his mind to go with us?"

Jia Baoyu didn't expect him to say such a thing suddenly. He was frightened and shook his head like a rattle.

"No, no, I won't leave..."

Lin Chengyu pretended to be sad, and the look she gave Jia Baoyu was full of disappointment and a bit of helplessness.

"Is that so? I was overthinking it. Please don't take my words to heart, Brother Bao."

"But, there is one thing I don't understand."

"If you stay here, how are you going to explain to our ancestors?"

Jia Baoyu thought for a moment and said, "In order to avoid unnecessary disputes, just pretend that you didn't see me."

After saying this, Jia Baoyu seemed to feel that his method was very useful, and a hint of pride appeared on his face.

Lin Chengyu really wanted to knock open his head and see what was inside.

He looked more serious and asked, "The old lady is old, and she has always loved you. Are you really not going to go back?"

Jia Baoyu showed a bit of reluctance on his face, but he kept repeating the same words over and over again, with nothing new to say.

In fact, to be honest, he always felt a little resentful towards the Jia family because of the marriage.

He has been living alone these years and is no longer the same Jia Baoyu.

Since those people in the Jia family chose to abandon him, they should have known that this day would come.

Thinking of this, the last bit of guilt in Jia Baoyu's heart disappeared.

"Besides, I don't have any ability. I can't even protect myself. Even if I go back, I will just be another burden to my family."

"Chengyu, I know you are very capable. I will leave them to you this time. I hope you can take good care of them."

Lin Chengyu was so angry that she almost laughed at the shameless outsourcing of filial piety.

But Jia Baoyu seemed not to understand her expression and sat there chattering non-stop.

Lin Chengyu seemed to be listening attentively, but in fact, her hands under the table had already been entangled with Xuan Zheng's.

When Jia Baoyu finally finished speaking, he saw Lin Chengyu with her head down, not knowing what she was doing.

"Chengyu, what are you doing?"

Lin Chengyu smiled and looked up, but did not answer him. Instead, she said, "This place has almost become an empty city now. What can you do by staying here?"

There was a hint of disdain in his eyes when he looked at Jia Baoyu, as if deliberately.

"Are you going to stay like this forever, hiding behind others and being a good husband and father for the rest of your life?"

"By the way, maybe you don't know this yet, Nannan is not your biological daughter."

Jia Baoyu really didn't know about this. He was shocked when he heard this and said, "Don't joke about this kind of thing."

Lin Chengyu said: "How could I joke about such a thing? Nannan is indeed not your biological daughter, but your niece."

What daughter and niece? Jia Baoyu's mind was in a mess at the moment.

At this point, his indifferent attitude finally changed.

He finally realized that he was anxious.

"Tell me quickly, what's going on? If Nannan is not my biological daughter, then where is the child that Yurou gave birth to for me?"

Lin Chengyu replied: "Seventh Prince."

"What Seventh Prince?" Jia Baoyu felt a little strange. Why were they talking about him for no reason?

But the next moment, he suddenly understood something, and his head felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer.

The Seventh Prince?!

Jia Baoyu still looked unhappy. Holding on to the last glimmer of hope, he asked with a trembling voice, "Are you serious?"

"It's true."

At this moment, Jia Baoyu's mood was extremely complicated, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

After a long time, he laughed at himself. Just now he was thinking about what he would do if he had a son. Thinking about it now, he really didn't know what to feel.

Xuan Zheng raised his hand and held Lin Chengyu's rebellious hand, and wrote a few words on his palm with his fingertips.

Lin Chengyu was so angry that she wanted to bite him, but the situation was not right.

Jia Baoyu was like a light bulb, standing there like a wooden stake, not moving at all, really wasting time.

Jia Baoyu was in a trance, with a conflict between his conscience and his conscience in his head, and he had no idea how fierce the battle was going on nearby.
