Chapter 166 Only his heart moved uncontrollably
Lian Li motioned to Jin Shiyue to stop talking, and then he moved over to answer.
"Brother."
"Not at home?" Jin Yanting's gentle voice was slightly nasal.
"Not here." Lian Li said without changing her expression, "I've been at school lately."
Jin Shiyue raised the corners of his lips and looked at her with a little interest in his eyes.
Lian Li asked: "Do you have anything to do with me?"
"Nothing's wrong." Jin Yanting said, "The peach trees have sprouted new buds. I'll go back and take a look when I have time."
"Okay." She hadn't taken care of the peach tree for a long time. Gardening should take good care of it.
When the call ended, Jin Yanting coughed lightly while leaning on the leather seat.
Assistant He in the cab saw this and asked: "Send you to the hospital, or call the doctor to your home?"
Jin Yanting didn't even need to say it.
Assistant He glanced at Jin Yanting through the rearview mirror. Mr. Jin came back from a business trip and caught wind and cold. He immediately rushed to the downstairs of the community where Miss Lian lived. He was really caring about Miss Lian.
Unfortunately, Miss Lian is not at home.
The high-hanging street lamps cast a dim yellow light, and the traces of falling raindrops were particularly clear under the lamps.
Rain fell on the car windows, covering them with a thin layer of mist.
Jin Yanting looked upstairs from the car. The house was dark and starless.
Lian Li is an adult with the ability to act independently. He is mature in mind and does things appropriately, which makes people very reassuring.
But Jin Yanting just felt uneasy, as if something was gradually leaving his control and sliding into the unknown abyss. What should have belonged to him no longer belonged to him.
It's ridiculous to say that he actually felt a kind of frightened pain of being abandoned.
Somehow the word abandonment comes to mind.
He had watched Lian Li grow up. The little girl had her own ideas since she was a child. She pursued individual independence and freedom and was not loyal to the traditional social concept of marriage and having children.
Even though the two of them had not made an agreement, he acquiesced that she would always stay by his side.
In October last year, Jin Yanting was having dinner in the apartment where Lian Li lived and received a call from Jin Shiyue, saying that Mrs. Xu was ordered by her mother to monitor every move he and Lian Li made.
Jin Yanting immediately dealt with Mrs. Xu, and later found out that besides the aunt, there were people in the apartment monitoring their entry and exit.
In order to protect Lian Li and prevent Lian Li from getting involved, Jin Yanting acquiesced to Lian Li's move out of the apartment and some of Duan Shiqing's actions, so that his mother would misunderstand that he and Duan Shiqing had rekindled their old relationship and would no longer cause trouble for Lian Li.
On his mother's side, he couldn't blame her.
Her mother was not favored by the Chen family in Hong Kong Island. After marrying her father, the two fell in love after marriage. Her father doted on her and loved her, which gave her confidence, but also exploited her independent thoughts.
The marriage between wealthy and prosperous families that everyone envied could not stand the test.
Emotions alone cannot bind a man. A father who can bow his head to love today can withdraw indifferently tomorrow. Because I rely on him, I cannot refuse any of his requests.
The marriage between the Jin family and the Duan family was the father's wish, and the mother carried out her father's idea.
The car window was open, and the cold wind mixed with drizzle drifted into the car, hitting Jin Yanting's face. It was ice-cold, in stark contrast to his hot body temperature.
The little girl was only twelve years old when she left with him, and is now twenty-two years old.
I still remember that it rained heavily that night, and the whole city seemed to be flooded by rainwater, with water flowing everywhere.
The still immature Lian Li squatted on the ground with her hands and knees, her body soaked by the downpour, like a young bird with broken wings, abandoned by the whole world, and could no longer fly.
A thin little girl, so helpless and pitiful.
But when he held a black bone umbrella to protect her from the wind and rain, she slowly raised her head, tears mixed with rain dripping from her long eyelashes, but her pair of bright black eyes were unusually calm.
Is it pitiful? She doesn't need anyone to pity her. She was born to be worshiped and admired by others.
Lian Li doesn't need anyone to bow their head for her, she needs to look straight up or even look up.
To bow one's head is to put oneself in a low position and pray for those in a high position to bow their heads. And she never felt inferior.
At first, Jin Yanting just regarded Lian Li as a little sister without any thought. After all, she was eight years younger than him.
But the day she finished her college entrance examination.
The sun sank silently, and the bright sky broke away from the day and gradually fell into darkness.
Lian Li walked out of school, with the orange sunset behind her and her peers around her. She was so special.
That summer, all the dusk was still, except for his heart, which moved uncontrollably.
Jin Yanting suddenly realized that Lian Li was no longer a homeless little girl squatting outside the hospital. She was gradually growing up, turning from a stone into a majestic and magnificent building.
After the end of summer, the school season begins.
Jin Yanting gave Lianli a luxurious apartment and asked her to move away from his home when she was already an adult. Being too close would always be bad for her reputation.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
But Jin Yanting still couldn't help it and frequently went to the apartment to look for her.
He attended her opening ceremony, parent-teacher meetings, gave her all kinds of gifts, and responded to her requests... He even went to the high school sports meeting. She was playing temporarily that day, and her classmates had sprained their feet, so it was not convenient for them to run in the relay.
The little girl was not good at sports and did not sign up for any events, but because there was no one to take over, she finally got on the field.
Although she is usually light and soft, she actually runs well, with a high ponytail. The breeze on campus lifts her hair, and the scorching sun shines on her body like a layer of gold, but she moves forward bravely, regardless of secular.
In ten years, day by day, the little girl became graceful and became an adult.
half a year.
Jin Yanting thought that he would be able to take her by his side after taking full control of the group, but the reality seemed... beyond his expectations.
My heart felt like it had been stabbed by a thorn, and the blood flowed endlessly.
Is it because of the cold weather?

When Lian Li lived in Xishangyuan, Jin Shiyue did not accompany her all the time. He had work to be busy with, and she also had her own things to do.
She could work anywhere with a computer and information, but he insisted on letting her enter the study. The study was large enough to accommodate two people.
So, there was a scene where she was typing papers here and he was signing documents and having a meeting over there.
Lian Li was very focused and not affected by him at all, and she couldn't understand his military secrets.
But the housekeeping aunt found it quite strange.
One is studying, one is working, and one dog is lying down.
I don't understand the taste of young people.
On the weekend, Lian Li and Pei Qingji made an appointment to meet at Jin Shuyu's teahouse.
The tea room is decorated in an antique style with elegant charm. Lian Li arrived half an hour early, entered the box, sat on the pear wood chair, and heard the soothing sound of harp playing from the courtyard.
With about five minutes left before the agreed time, Pei Qingji and Mrs. Pei walked around the screen and walked in.
Lian Li stood up and greeted in a neither humble nor overbearing manner: "Mrs. Pei, Brother Qingji."
Mrs. Pei was transferred to another place and just returned to Beijing recently. She is gentle and elegant, somewhat similar to Pei Qingji.
They all knew what they were going to do. After a few pleasantries, Lian Li took out the bracelet, put it on the silk handkerchief, and asked Mrs. Pei to appreciate it.
Mrs. Pei carefully looked at the two crystal clear rubies hanging from the bracelet, and suddenly glanced at Lian Li.
Lian Li's eyelids twitched.
