Yan Jian’s words made Jas involuntarily close his eyes.
Family ties have almost beco a curse for the three brothers of the Ford family. All three of them hold themselves in high regard, yet none of them have truly enjoyed complete family affection.
It could even be said that the reason they have co this far is because of their fragnted familial relationships.
But will this tragedy continue to the next generation of the Ford family?
Even though Jieyou is not his own child, she is just the daughter of that illegitimate child... But her bloodline cannot be erased.
"What do you want?" he asked, taking a deep breath.
On the other end of the phone, Yan Jian quietly punched the air in happiness.
However, she was careful not to make a sound, so Jas wouldn’t hear. She cautiously said, "What I an is, Shi Nian is bringing Jieyou back. She went with the child to say goodbye to her past, and when she returns, she’ll start a brand new life, so she will definitely co to my house first."
"Jieyou will also co."
"What I an is... I would like you to et Jieyou."
Jas raised his eyebrows high in the foreign night’s breeze: "I must have misheard, are you inviting to your house? Would it be appropriate for to appear at a Tang Family gathering?"
Yan Jian was also startled.
No, she didn’t an to invite him to the Tang Family! What she ant was to find an opportunity for him to et Jieyou before she cos to her house.
Her real intention was to use this as a reason to bring him back and have him appear in her view, to dissipate her inexplicable tension.
But she never expected him to draw such a conclusion on his own!
She inhaled carefully, wanting to explain, and Jas caught on, sowhat impatiently saying, "Unless that’s the case, there’s no need to tell . What blood ties, what uncle and niece, you Tang Family don’t mind accepting that child, it doesn’t an I’m interested in any of this."
Yan Jian closed her eyes: "What you’re saying is that if I don’t invite you to attend, you won’t co back to see Jieyou, right?"
"That’s right, you’ve guessed correctly."
He carefully suppressed the tension in his heart, and a little — for so unknown reason — small sense of elation.
Did he really want so much to appear formally in the Tang Family’s presence?
He couldn’t help but imagine that if she soday brought another boyfriend to a family occasion to introduce to her family.
Since he’d never have such an opportunity, he might as well take this opportunity as an experience.
Thinking this way, he couldn’t help but feel a little lancholy.
"Tang Yanjian, I accept your invitation. I will appear on ti then."
Before she could deny it, he hastily hung up the phone, then turned it off.
He turned around to go back to his room, and calmly said to Ben Shaming, "Get ready, I’m flying back to M Country tonight."
.
Ben Shaming was shocked, grabbing his arm: "Jas! Are you kidding?"
Tonight, Luo Xiansheng’s life was within reach.
Jas shook his head: "Tonight’s matter, let it go for now. There’s sothing in M Country, I need to leave tonight to make it on ti."
Ben Shaming couldn’t help but smile disappointedly: "Jas, you might as well tell you’ve changed your mind and don’t want Luo Xiansheng’s life anymore."
"Why would you think that?" Jas squinted at Ben Shaming.
Although he spoke righteously, deep down he was uncertain. Over more than fifteen years of being together, they knew each other too well.
He bowed his head and pondered for a mont: "Luo Xiansheng’s life isn’t difficult for either of us. Whether it’s done or not tonight, we can always save it for later. Let’s do more important things tonight, and talk about it in the future."
Ben Shaming raised his eyes, his dark pupils overshadowing Jas’s eyes like the night.
"Jas, why change yourself for soone insignificant, becoming indecisive, hesitating again and again?"
"Or if you say you must leave tonight to make it for sothing you have to do, that would be fine. You nod now, and I’ll settle Luo Xiansheng imdiately. There’s definitely enough ti for us to leave tonight, and you can have it both ways, don’t you think?"
Jas was cornered, sowhat flustered.
He wasn’t used to being so passive; he reached out and pushed Ben Shaming away hard: "Enough! It’s not your place to talk to like this."
Ben Shaming stumbled back a few steps, raising his eyes mournfully: "Jas, you’ve changed."
For an unrelated girl, for an unrelated Luo Xiansheng, Jas actually lost his temper like this.
Jas took a deep breath: "No, Little Ben, I haven’t changed. We’ve both grown up."
They had grown up, no longer the two teenagers relying on each other in bygone tis. Their worlds had expanded, rightly encountering more people and discovering more things.
Isn’t that so?
Ben Shaming gazed at Jas, gently shook his head: "If it’s just growing up, only age should change, not oneself. Jas, does growing up an you’re no longer the sa Jas? It’s a pity, I can’t be as free as you, I’m still Ben Shaming, still the sa Little Ben who ca to you with blood all over back then!"
Ben Shaming’s words were like a punch to Jas’s heart, as he took a deep breath, trying hard to explain.
No, he didn’t want to hurt Little Ben. It’s just that he hasn’t figured out so things himself yet, so he couldn’t explain it to Little Ben either.
He just wanted Little Ben to wait a little longer, just a little longer.
Though Jas didn’t speak, his hesitation gave Ben Shaming an answer.
Ben Shaming suddenly turned around and dashed into the vast night.
