1404 Willing to Endure

“We all know!”

Seeing this, Wang Yunmei quickly jumped out to help her daughter and Haoyu.

Everyone came back to their senses and nodded.

Wang Yunzhi: “Yes, yes. We know.”

Jiang Chunfen: “I saw it in the newspaper…”

The others also said that they had seen the newspaper.

Jian Ai smiled in embarrassment and sat back on the sofa.

“Did you… just get together?” Wu Shaoqi asked curiously.

The others also looked over, as if wanting to understand more about their development history.

Jian Ai and Ji Haoyu looked at each other. Then, Ji Haoyu said, “No, we were already together before Xiao Ai went abroad.”

It had been almost two years?

Moreover, Xiao Ai was only sixteen years old.

The adults couldn’t help but look at each other with different thoughts.

“Aunt, where’s the child? Let me see…” Jian Ai quickly changed the topic.

Jiang Chunfen said, “I didn’t bring her out today. She just recovered from a fever.”

Jian Ai nodded in understanding. “It’s fine. I’ll go over and look this weekend.”

With this interruption, everyone’s attention dissipated. Not long after, they started chatting in the living room.

Ji Haoyu and Wu Bi went to the balcony to catch up.

Wu Bi lit a cigarette and wanted to hand one to Ji Haoyu before remembering that he did not smoke.

Wu Bi took a puff and looked at Ji Haoyu. He smiled and said, “You still succeeded.”

Ji Haoyu looked at Wu Bi with a smile and said, “The process was tough. It’s not what you think.”

That was true. Being able to woo Jian Ai was the most difficult thing Ji Haoyu had done in his life.

From the moment the two of them met, Ji Haoyu left an extremely bad first impression on Jian Ai.

Later, they kept bumping into each other. In Jian Ai’s words, nothing good happened every time she met Ji Haoyu.

At the Langxing Gala, her heel broke because of a crack on the floor of the rooftop.

In the hospital, Ji Haoyu suddenly forced a kiss on her.

At the door of the house, Ji Haoyu initially went to apologize to her, but the wheels rolled up a waterhole and splashed mud all over her.

In school, she was surrounded by students again and again.

He lingered around Jian Ai everywhere like a god of plague.

Under such conditions, where Jian Ai could be said to have thrown him into a cold palace, Ji Haoyu persevered. He even did many things he thought he would never do before winning Jian Ai’s heart step by step.

He tricked her to go to a couple’s restaurant.

He played claw machine games with her at the mall.

He used the excuse of sending her home but stayed on her sofa for the night.

He secretly expressed his gratitude to Wang Yunmei.

He even attacked the Jian Group for Jian Ai.

Some methods were fierce, some were shameless, and some were childish. However, they were all just to make her smile.

Therefore, the ‘difficult process’ Ji Haoyu mentioned was real.

But he was willing to endure it.

When he said this, Ji Haoyu’s expression was indescribable. Wu Bi had never seen Ji Haoyu show such an expression.

He could not hide his joy.

“Be good to her,” Wu Bi said slowly and took a puff of smoke.

When Ji Haoyu heard this, he looked at Wu Bi and patted his shoulder. “Why? Don’t tell me…”

“Don’t talk nonsense. I’ve always treated her as my sister,” Wu Bi quickly explained, but a trace of melancholy flashed across his face. “When I see her, I think of Shuang’er.”

Ji Haoyu raised his eyebrows in understanding. He turned around and looked at Wu Bi. “Don’t worry, my woman will be the happiest person in the world.”

Wu Bi looked at Ji Haoyu and laughed out loud. “Boss, this doesn’t sound like something you would say. It’s too disgusting!”

Ji Haoyu could not help but laugh.

They ate happily. Jian Ai had not felt such a lively atmosphere for a long time.

At night, after sending everyone off, Jian Ai sat in the living room with Wang Yunmei and Jian Yu and chatted.

“Your uncle called me a few times today and said that he wanted to treat you to a meal,” Wang Yunmei said. “It’s all because of that photo in the newspaper today.”

Jian Ai had only been back in China for a few days. Although her family knew, no one would tell Wang Yunzhong.

Wang Yunzhong only knew that Jian Ai was back after looking at the photos in the newspaper today, so he was naturally attentive.

Jian Ai didn’t have the energy to deal with Wang Yunzhong now. She would go to Baiyun City tomorrow to meet Yu Wuyuan and Yun Buyao and have a gathering with Xia Qinghuan and the rest the day after tomorrow.

“Mom, I don’t have time,” Jian Ai hugged a pillow and said helplessly.

Even if she had time, she wouldn’t go.

Thinking of what had happened in her previous life, Jian Ai couldn’t soften her heart toward Wang Yunzhong. Until now, many things had passed in Jian Ai’s heart, but she still couldn’t get over Wang Yunzhong’s hurdle at that time.

Wang Yunmei naturally didn’t know about the knot in her daughter’s heart. She only thought that her daughter didn’t want to get too close to her uncle. She immediately said, “I’m just passing the message. Whether or not you go is up to you.”

“In the past two years, your uncle’s business has been doing well. Occasionally, he would receive orders from some big companies. I think he has a goal.”

Jian Ai couldn’t help but sneer. “He’s always like this.”

Hearing her daughter say that about her uncle, Wang Yunmei could only smile helplessly and shake her head.

Her relationship with Wang Yunzhong had eased quite well in the past two years. Although she knew that her brother’s goal was not pure, she still felt much better than before.

Their relationship with their parents was as usual. The old couple didn’t like their daughters, so Wang Yunmei and Wang Yunzhi were happy and quiet. They received their monthly living allowance and didn’t ask for a rebuff unless there was something big.

After Wang Yunfa’s vegetable stall was sold, he built a games room. He exchanged the two elders’ demolition fees for a one hundred and twenty square meter house and a new car, and his days passed. However, his relationship with his elder sister did not break the ice. He had not seen her for more than a year.

Wang Yunmei had never mentioned these annoying things to Jian Ai. However, sometimes, when she thought about it, she couldn’t help but feel upset.

“Since you’ve already confirmed your relationship with Haoyu, talk nicely,” Wang Yunmei changed the topic and looked at Jian Ai.

Jian Ai was stunned for a moment before nodding gently. “I know, Mom. We’re serious.”

“That’s for the best,” Wang Yunmei said softly. “Haoyu is a good child. Although he’s a little older than you, Mom won’t care if you don’t care.”

“Mom won’t ask you to get married just because you’re dating. However, it’s a relationship after all. You have to be responsible and sincere so that no matter the outcome in the future, you won’t regret it.”

Jian Ai listened and couldn’t help but think that she should marry Ji Haoyu, right?

Ji Haoyu would marry her, right?

He probably would, right?

“Don’t blame Mom for being long-winded. Mom just hopes that you and Haoyu will have a good ending,” Wang Yunmei said.

When she came back to her senses, she smiled and nodded. “I know, Mom. You should be worried about my brother instead of me!”
