Xia Yining wanted to know where Jiang Yan would live after he moved out from Xu Zhiyao's place, but she also knew that Jiang Yan's attitude last time was clear and she didn't want to tell her.Using Mr. Shen as the topic again seemed ineffective, Xia Yining lamented that there was still too little connection between them.

After the meeting that day, just as Xia Yining returned to the office, Xu Zhihui called her.

"Ning Ning, are you free tonight?"

"Mom, what's the matter?"

"Yanyan is coming to see me tonight, so I'll keep her for dinner." Xu Zhihui paused for a while, and then said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you a lot."

Xia Yining froze for a moment, and understood the hint in Xu Zhihui's words.

"Mom, I'll go there after work."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yining specifically asked his secretary if there was anything urgent to deal with.

When Qin Yishan came to look for her, she was surprised to see that she had packed up as if she was about to leave: "You just got off work, are you leaving?"

Seeing that she was holding the document in her hand, Xia Yining thought there was an emergency, but she had no choice but to put down the bag, "What do you want me to do?"

"This is the preliminary plan for asset reorganization. You should read it quickly. It would be best if the board of directors can pass it as soon as possible."

Xia Yining still felt pain in his heart when he heard these four words, but this was the best way to prevent the Xia family from going bankrupt.She put the papers in her bag and was still about to leave.

"Do you have something important tonight?" Qin Yishan thought she would stay and read it before leaving, and couldn't help wondering what made Xia Yining so hurried.

"Yishan, it's off-duty time, I have the freedom to arrange my own time."

Qin Yishan was taken aback. Although Xia Yining's tone was very ordinary, it still made her feel resistance.

"As a friend, I just care about you..."

Xia Yining looked at her helplessly, and said emphatically, "From now on, we'll just be colleagues, so it's better for everyone."

Qin Yishan froze there completely, and it wasn't until Xia Yining walked for a long time that she finally came to her senses.Sure enough, the outcome was the same as she was worried about before, Xia Yining didn't even give her the chance to be friends.

**

Xu Zhihui lived in the central city, and because she was afraid of traffic jams, Xia Yining temporarily decided to take the subway.During the rush hour, there are huge crowds of people in the subway carriages, and it seems that ordinary people can't go up there.After waiting for a few shifts, the passenger flow still hasn't decreased, and if you delay any longer, you will be late.Xia Yining gritted her teeth, stepped on high heels, and squeezed in with an expensive custom-made handbag in front of her body.

Jiang Yan arrived at Xu Zhihui's house after four o'clock and helped her prepare all the ingredients for dinner, but she didn't see her move for a long time.

"Mom, it's almost time, why don't I come?"

Seeing Xu Zhihui standing by the window, Jiang Yan didn't know who she was texting with, as if she completely forgot that it was almost dinner time.

"No rush, no hurry, I'll take care of it right away, I'll cook."

Jiang Yan stared at her for a while and asked, "Did you invite other people to dinner today?"

Xu Zhihui shook the hand holding the phone, pursed her lips and denied: "There is no one else. You know, I only like to get together with my family."

family?What flashed in Jiang Yan's mind was Jiang Daming's face. Apart from him, he really couldn't think of anyone in the family that Xu Zhihui cared about.

No wonder I asked her for the time several times before calling her to eat, and I was not sure about the time, as if I was afraid that she would change the date temporarily.Although Jiang Yan didn't really want to see Jiang Daming, he couldn't leave immediately at this moment.

Seeing the faint search in Xu Zhihui's eyes, Jiang Yan smiled at her: "I'm not hungry anyway, take your time."

Xu Zhihui was relieved now, and walked into the kitchen with a smile.

"Just watch TV in the living room and leave the kitchen to me."

In terms of cooking skills, Xu Zhihui is not as good as Jiang Yan, but she just likes to cook for her daughter.She was not willing to waste the lost years in the past.

Jiang Yan was watching TV in the living room, thinking about how to treat Jiang Daming when he met Jiang Daming, and couldn't help but wonder why he came here suddenly.Before she could think it through, the doorbell rang.

Xu Zhihui turned on the range hood in the kitchen, but closed the door so she couldn't hear it.Jiang Yan was already mentally prepared and got up to open the door.She can't do to Jiang Daming what she did to Xu Zhihui, as long as she doesn't turn her face.

When Jiang Yan opened the door with a cold face, the corners of Xia Yining's mouth curved just right, as if he thought it would be Mother Jiang who opened the door.

"Mom..." After Xia Yining saw who the person in front of him was, he immediately changed his words, "Mom asked me to come to dinner, what a coincidence."

Jiang Yan understood everything when she saw Xia Yining, she turned sideways to let Xia Yining in: "She didn't tell me that you would come over tonight."

Xia Yining put the gift in his hand by the wall, feeling a little embarrassed after hearing Jiang Yan's words.

Jiang Yan took a bottle of water from the refrigerator and gave her: "Sit down for a while, I'll go and talk to her."

"Jiang Yan, let me talk about it myself." Xia Yining went to the kitchen by himself, holding the mineral water bottle tightly.

Even if Jiang Yan had to notify her when she came, wouldn't she really be a guest?

At dinner, Mother Jiang asked the two of them to sit next to each other, while she herself sat opposite them.Before dinner was officially served, it was rare for her to show her majesty as a parent, half persuading and half intimidating: "I shouldn't care about young people's affairs, but I think that when you get married, you should look like you are married."

Jiang Yan and Xia Yining lowered their eyes and did not speak.

Jiang's mother softened her tone, and continued: "You two have a misunderstanding, so let's talk about it, and if there are conflicts, we should communicate and resolve them. No one is a roundworm in the other's stomach, but if you really want to live a good life, then Try to understand and understand each other.”

After she finished speaking, Xia Yining lowered her head again.

Jiang Yan raised his eyes to look at Xu Zhihui, moved his lips but did not speak.

Jiang's mother knocked almost, and finally smiled: "Let's eat first, and you two go out for a walk after dinner."

Sure enough, as soon as the fruit was eaten after dinner, Xu Zhihui drove the two of them out for a stroll. Jiang Yan looked at her positive look speechlessly, so he could only cooperate and said, "Then let's go around the neighborhood."

Xia Yining was worried that Jiang Yan would put on a show for Jiang's mother, but she was a little surprised to see her when she left the community and was really planning to walk to a nearby park.

Jiang Yan took a few steps faster and walked ahead silently.Looking at her back, Xia Yining mustered up the courage to catch up with her in small steps.

"Jiang Yan, I have something to tell you."

Jiang Yan turned his head and looked at her calmly, Xia Yining suddenly became nervous.

She has obviously brewed it many times, but it is still difficult to speak in front of Jiang Yan.But she knew that if she didn't say some things now, it might be too late in the future.Jiang Yan's departure and her attitude after returning were both strange experiences that Xia Yining had never experienced before.

Now that she has experienced it, and with the comparison, she is more sure of her thoughts, but she said what she said back then.

Jiang Yan saw her tangled face, the way she worked hard several times and came back silently, secretly smiled in his heart, but his face was still calm: "What do you want to tell me?"

"sorry."

Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not speak.

Xia Yining finally opened his mouth, and continued with courage: "I know you are very good, and you are very good to me. But so many things happened in my family, I..."

To this day, Xia Yining still has mixed emotions when he mentions the chaos caused by the Xia family.

Jiang Yan looked at her deeply, and answered, "Actually, you don't fully believe me in your heart."

Xia Yining quickly denied: "I believe in your feelings, I just..."

"But you don't believe that I can accompany you through difficulties, do you?"

Xia Yining was dejected. He wanted to deny it at first, but he remembered Jiang's mother's words before and nodded.

Jiang Yan sighed softly, and turned his head to look at the rockery behind Xia Yining.

"Maybe it's also because I haven't shown any ability to convince you. It's normal for you to think so."

Jiang Yan's self-explanation made Xia Yining feel guilty and nervous.She tentatively reached out to pull Jiang Yan, and when she touched the other's slightly cool fingertips, she was shaken a few times. If she was not firm enough, she might break free.

Xia Yining exerted a little strength and clenched Jiang Yan's fingertips: "You should have told me earlier that you are a grandfather fishing for paintings."

Jiang Yan didn't intend to deliberately conceal it: "I planned to tell you when I came back from Europe."

Xia Yining also had mixed feelings when she thought of what she originally wanted to say to Jiang Yan at that time.

Speaking of this, Xia Yining was curious about what she had gained from going abroad this time.Jiang Yan thought for a while: "I didn't become a well-known painter, but I accidentally became a creditor."

Creditor?Xia Yining felt numb when she heard this word. What she fears most now is encountering debt collectors.

She smiled shyly, not wanting to take up this topic.

Jiang Yan didn't end there: "Don't you want to know who owes me the debt?"

Xia Yining pursed her lips and tried to cooperate: "Who is it?"

"you."

Xia Yining was very surprised, and looked at her in confusion. After a while, he realized, and said sadly, "I owe a huge debt of love."

"Since you take the initiative to admit the love debt, then let's settle the two together at that time."

two strokes?Xia Yining didn't understand what the extra debt was.

"Xia issued BG5 bonds overseas. Before that, the actual creditor was Mr. Shen, but now it is me."

This is the overseas debt that was overdue a while ago. No wonder the other party not only did not urge them, but even seldom made routine inquiries.Compared with the overall debt faced by the Xia family, it is not high, but because it involves overseas credit ratings, the symbolic meaning far exceeds the actual.

"So, when you went abroad, you went to Mr. Shen to buy the debt, and then waited for it to expire?"

When Jiang Yan bought it, the Xia family had already had an accident, and it was obvious that they were unable to pay.Xia Yining would not know why Jiang Yan did this.

She choked up, not knowing what to say.If knowing the identity of Taigong Diaohua made her discover Jiang Yan's true talent, then the identity of the BG5 creditor now made her truly feel that someone was silently paving the way for her, but she never asked for anything because of it.

Xia Yining held Jiang Yan's hand even tighter, stepped forward to get close to her, and kissed her on the lips.It is no longer touching like a superficial touch, but conveying one's heart with agitation and guilt.

Jiang Yan didn't react much at first, but Xia Yining was unwilling to leave easily.When the love is getting stronger and stronger, the heart wants to get closer, and people also want to get closer. She is still silently waiting for Jiang Yan's response.
