Red Line Resurrection Chapter 23
by23 Chapter 23
â—ŽThis is my private matter.â—Ž
The last time the Liang family was so lively was when Liang Jinwei was seriously ill. Auntie counted the people outside and brought out a new tea set to make tea.
She didn’t take anything expensive, because when the living room was too lively in the past, it was usually accompanied by quarreling and throwing things. She smashed four or five sets of antique tea sets. She took inventory and put them away afterwards. Even if these expensive things were not hers, it didn’t stop her from feeling distressed.
Tea was just a courtesy for entertaining guests, and she brought Shen Lingjun an iced Coke alone. The young master was now sitting on the sofa in a very cramped posture, with Ruan Jichuan on the left and Liang Ji’an on the right. Although they were not right next to each other, he still seemed to want to disappear into the cracks of the sofa to feel safe.
Under the gaze of Ruan Jichuan and Lu Jiayan, Shen Lingjun took the Coke with the straw inserted in both hands and said, “Thank you, auntie.”
He complained in his heart, three sofas!Each one can seat at least four people, so why on earth do they have to sit with him!
Ruan Jichuan raised his hand and asked for a bottle of Coke from his aunt. He turned around and teased Liang Ji’an: “I have been friends with you for twenty years, and you still don’t remember that I love to drink Coke. You also said that I never put these drinks in the refrigerator. Now I have changed my gender?”
People are always busy when they are embarrassed. Shen Lingjun bit the straw and sipped half a bottle of Coke. He choked suddenly when he heard the words. In the next second, two papers were handed over. Shen Lingjun didn’t dare to raise his head. He wanted to take one for himself but did not dare to refuse Liang Ji’an’s kindness. He took his piece and wiped his mouth and whispered: “It’s okay, you guys talk about your…”
He stood up and wanted to leave. The joy of improving his grades could be shared another day. He could feel that Lu Jiayan across from him was about to cut him apart piece by piece with his eyes, and he was even an idiot and felt that he now had a green tea identity card.
Can someone please explain it to me personally?
He stood up and wanted to leave, but two hands on his left and right sides stopped him. Ruan Jichuan patted the gift beside him and said, “Lingjun, you haven’t opened the gift I brought you yet.”
He pushed Liang Ji’an away at the same time, “Ji’an, you and your boyfriend haven’t seen each other for so long, why don’t you just catch up on old times? Let’s go and have a chat, my brother, I’m here, don’t worry.”
The way Liang Jian looked at Ruan Jichuan now was no different from that of a large yellow man, “Straighten your tongue and speak carefully.”
He glanced at Lu Jiayan and said coldly: “I have something to tell you.”
Lu Jiayan followed him all the way to the balcony. Their voices were not loud. Even if the glass door was not closed, the two people in the living room could not hear anything.
Lu Jiayan finally found a chance to be alone with him, and he had been left out for so long. Tears fell down his face as soon as his nose became sore. However, he did not dare to say anything disgusting to Liang Ji’an, so he forced a smile and said, “Ji’an, when did you get a younger brother? I don’t even know…”
Liang Ji’an said: “This is my private matter.”
“But I am your boyfriend,” Lu Jiayan frowned, looking even more pitiful, “I wanted you to pick me up at the airport today, but you didn’t go either.”
“You know how you got your identity.” Liang Ji’an said with some boredom: “It was your mother who saved my mother, not you who saved my mother, and you didn’t save me. It’s not like the Liang family has not returned these favors elsewhere. So doing the thing of repaying the favor once is enough, and mentioning it repeatedly will only make people feel sick.”
Thinking of the past, Liang Ji’an was really not in a good mood. His mother’s last words before her death were that he and Lu Jiayan should be together well. Even if they didn’t like it, they should try to get along, and they should not let down Lu Jiayan’s infatuation.
At that time, he was so worried about the company’s affairs that he didn’t even notice how Lu Jiayan tried every possible means to please his mother. But after thinking about it for a moment, his mother looked at him with such resentful eyes that it was not surprising.
As a son, if he failed to fulfill his filial piety, Lu Jiayan became half of her son.
But she never asked about the fatigue and pain she felt during that time.
It is not that easy for a young man in his early twenties to not only take over the heavy responsibility, but also do it beautifully.
Lu Jiayan was stunned by what he said, “But…”
Liang Jian interrupted him, “There is no but.”
“Two years are almost here. You know that I will not go back on what I promised, so I have been testing my bottom line repeatedly.”
“I warned you not to come to me, but you didn’t take it to heart.”
Lu Jiayan looked at him in fear. Even though Liang Ji’an was expressionless, he could feel that he was about to say something terrible soon. The emotions that had been accumulated for a long time began to collapse without warning, but even so, he did not dare to cry loudly and still kept his voice low.He said in a low voice: “I know you don’t like me, but you have never tried to understand me. In the past two years, ask yourself how many times have you met me? How many phone calls have you made? Did we watch a movie when we were in love? Why don’t you try to get closer to me?”
Liang Ji’an seemed to be listening but didn’t seem to take him to heart at all. Lu Jiayan didn’t wait for a reply and looked at his line of sight with tearful eyes. He heard Liang Ji’an suddenly say: “Ruan Jichuan, if you dare to give him a drink again, get out immediately.”
In the living room, Ruan Jichuan opened the exquisitely packaged gift box as if he was offering a treasure. It was full of twelve colorful glass bottles, with a small row of dropper-like tasting bottles on top. He was asking He Wen for the cups and planned to pour them out one by one.
Shen Lingjun was attracted by the hand-painted patterns on it. He leaned down and slid off the sofa, squatting next to it and watching attentively.
Lu Jiayan was so frustrated that he almost laughed. He felt that he was really pitiful. Although Liang Jian was here, his mind was never on him. Instead, he always stared at the boy and never moved away for a moment.
Is this person really just Liang Jian’s younger brother?
Ruan Jichuan was so frightened by his voice that his hands shook and he spilled his wine. He muttered dissatisfiedly: “Are there eyes on the back of your head?”
Liang Ji’an was too lazy to talk nonsense to Lu Jiayan. He was worried that Shen Lingjun would be overly curious and take a few more bites. When he was about to stride towards the living room, he looked back at Lu Jiayan and sneered: “I have never been interested in you, why should I try to understand you?”
“The more you learn, the more disgusting it becomes.”
Shen Lingjun heard his footsteps and immediately stood up to prove his innocence, “Brother, I didn’t drink a drop of wine, I just smelled it.”
He noticed that Lu Jiayan was crying and subconsciously wanted to pass him a tissue, but he felt that something was wrong. He paused for a long time and finally sighed softly.
He’d better not get involved in his brother’s affairs.
Otherwise, we are not human inside and out.
Lu Jiayan’s eyes were red from crying. He knew that he had broken up with Liang Ji’an today. He had worked hard to maintain a balance that had not been broken for almost two years. Because of the sudden appearance of a younger brother, his temperature dropped to freezing point. He pointed at Shen Lingjun and said, “You will even bring him dessert.”
Liang Ji’an pinched his wrist with his index finger and thumb, which was so strong that it could break a person’s wrist. He forced his pointing hand to drop, “Don’t compare him to you.”
His patience was completely exhausted, “Uncle He, see you off.”
He Wen hurriedly ran out of the kitchen. Lu Jiayan was so angry that he was already so angry that he simply waved his hand and knocked over all the tea sets on the coffee table.
Liang Jian didn’t even look at him anymore, and said calmly: “The bill will be sent to you later, remember to pay according to the price.”
