Chapter 72: Stained with Blood (Update )
Ji Tianyang grew up in a single-parent family. He went abroad with his mother when he was three or four years old. He has never experienced the happiness of a complete family.
In his opinion, marriage means forcing two people to be tied together and live the trivial daily life of firewood, rice, oil and salt day after day. The thought of it makes his scalp tingle, so when Rao Yuan proposed marriage, he broke up without hesitation.
He knew that he could not give the other person happiness, so instead of continuing to entangle with her, it would be better to let each other go as soon as possible.
Ji Tianyang ate unusually quietly during the meal. Yu Yuan noticed that he looked distracted, so he called him upstairs to the living room after the meal to chat.
Ruogu did not accompany them. She and Sister Yang cleaned the table together. Chi Zhengzheng said excitedly, "Sister, Ji Tianyang is even more handsome than on TV. Can I ask for his autograph later?"
Ruogu placed the empty bowl on the stove and said with a light smile, "You asked him for an autograph. Are you going to give it to your fans as a gift or keep it for yourself?"
Chi Zhengzheng smiled and said, "I want both. It depends on how many Ji Tianyang is willing to sign for me. I'll go buy some posters of his photos first. He shouldn't leave for the time being, right?"
Chi Zhengzheng is not very old. Apart from the financial pressure and the urgent need to make money, she is no different from other young girls and also loves to chase stars.
Ruogu was very tolerant of her. He smiled and said, "Brother Yuan has booked a hotel room for him. He should stay for a day or two. You still have time to prepare."
Chi Zhengzheng was very happy. She hurriedly washed her hands and said, "Then I'll go buy it now, so I won't be too late."
This girl is so quick to act that Sister Yang said calmly, "Madam, are the guests dining at home these days? Should we set a menu so I can prepare the dishes first?"
Ruogu pondered for a while and said softly, "You have to take care of everything at home and outside. If it's too tiring to cook so many dishes for every meal, you should prepare more dishes. Let's go and ask if there are any specialty restaurants. It's the same if we go out to eat. It seems that we need to hire a nanny at home, otherwise it will be too tiring for you to be alone."
When Sister Yang heard her say this, she felt sweeter than eating honey. The wife treated her as a family member and cared whether she was tired or not. This was better than giving her a salary increase. She smiled in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and said in a gentle voice:
"I don't feel tired when working, but sometimes there are too many things to do and I don't have time to cook. When the house is renovated later, I will have to spend half a day cleaning every day. I will definitely delay things if I do it alone."
Ruogu nodded slightly, and she said softly: "I didn't think this through. Why don't we wait until the house is renovated? We can start selecting people now. Since we don't have a place to live for the time being, we can leave early and come back late. It won't delay anything."
The domestic service market is mixed, and you have to rely on luck to find a nanny that suits your needs. Sister Yang nodded in agreement, and said calmly: "Then I'll do it. I've come into contact with many people of this kind, and I can tell at a glance whether they are good or not."
Ruogu patted Sister Yang's hand with relief. She said with emotion: "The best thing Brother Yuan did was to send you home. Without you, I would have been in a mess."
Sister Yang said cheerfully, "Madam is smart and capable, and can handle things well without me. As long as you don't mind, I will stay and serve you for the rest of my life."
Yu Yuan agreed to provide for Sister Yang's retirement, and she had no objection. Ruogu scolded:
"We are all family, there is no need to dislike or not dislike. Now that you can work, you can help me with the hard work. When you are older, you can help me manage the household. Even if you want to leave, Brother Yuan and I will not agree."
Ruogu's words were very comforting to Sister Yang. She felt as if she had taken a reassurance pill and no longer had any worries. The wrinkles at the corners of Sister Yang's eyes became more obvious as she smiled. She said in a calm voice:
"I'm not going anywhere, even if you chase me away."
The feelings between people are developed through getting along with each other. Sister Yang treats their family sincerely, so Ruogu will not let her lose.
After Ji Tianyang and Yu Yuan went upstairs, he was in a low mood. Yu Yuan took a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator and handed it to him, curiously asking: "You were very happy when you came, why are you so emo now?"
Ji Tianyang unscrewed the bottle cap and drank a sip of water, then asked uncertainly, "Brother Yuan, do you think marriage is necessary?"
Yu Yuan leaned on the sofa with a satisfied smile on his face. His leisurely expression showed that he was satisfied with his current life. He said slowly, "If there was no marriage, why would your sister-in-law stay with me? If I didn't get married, how could I have a daughter as cute as Xixi? Have you made some misunderstanding?"
Ji Tianyang wiped his face and said with a wry smile, "I am a little afraid of marriage. I feel extremely scared when I think that I will open my eyes and see the same face every day in my life."
Yu Yuan frowned and said in a low voice:
"How can it be scary? Waking up in the arms of your loved one every day is such a blessing. Do you want to watch Rao Yuan marry someone else?"
Ji Tianyang was slightly stunned. He scratched his hair in annoyance and said helplessly:
"I'm not sure either. I definitely care about her, but it's far from the point of marriage. I feel suffocated by her control. Now I just want to be free."
Yu Yuan looked at Ji Tianyang with deep eyes and said calmly: "What you said shows that you have never really loved her. If you don't love her, why are you still with her? What's the difference between this and cheating on your relationship?"
Ji Tianyang stood up excitedly and said righteously: "Brother Yuan, you can't wrong me like this. I was not with her voluntarily in the beginning. I only agreed to give it a try and never thought about getting married."
Yu Yuan had a serious expression and said unhappily: "You are kidding me. You have been inseparable for so many years even though it was not your own will. We all know how good Rao Yuan is to you. Be careful not to play with fire and get burned."
Ji Tianyang is an artist. He and Rao Yuan have officially announced their breakup on social media. The breakup will inevitably stir up public pressure, and the impact could be big or small.
Ji Tianyang lay on the sofa, and said weakly: "I know what you said, Brother Yuan, but it is impossible to get married. I chose to break up because I want to let myself go. I have made up my mind about this."
Seeing his determined look, Yu Yuan knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion. He stopped trying to persuade him and said calmly, "In that case, have a frank talk with Rao Yuan. I believe she won't force you to get married."
Ji Tianyang was so frightened that he quickly waved his hands. He said in great resistance:
"Brother Yuan, please forgive me. I just want to hide from her for a while. If we can't be together, then we'll break up. We're all adults, and neither of us can live well without the other. Don't you agree?"
Yu Yuan looked at him expressionlessly and said in a cold voice:
"It's up to you. Anyway, I don't have any extra rooms at home. If you don't mind, you can stay in the hotel for a few more days. The room has been booked for you. Just come over at mealtime to eat."
Ji Tianyang smiled widely and said in a loud voice, "What's there to mind about staying in a hotel? It's better than the conditions for filming on a set. I have nothing to do right now. How about you accompany me to deliver the suitcase to the hotel?"
A visitor is a guest, and no matter how much Yu Yuan didn't want to pay attention to him, he had to spend time with him. He went downstairs to explain to Ruogu first, and then accompanied him to the hotel. After Ji Tianyang checked in, he wanted to take a nap and rest, so Yu Yuan went home alone.
There were no patients in the clinic at noon, so Ruogu sat on a rattan chair reading a medical book. Seeing him come back alone, he asked curiously, "Why didn't you stay in the hotel with Ji Tianyang?"
Yu Yuan said as a matter of course: "I came home for you and Huai Xi. Why should he accompany me? I was just a little hesitant about whether I should inform Rao Yuan that he is hiding here with us."
Ruogu didn't know about Ji Tianyang's emotional problems, so Yu Yuan didn't need to hide it from her and told her the whole story of his visit.
Ruogu looked unhappy when she heard this. She closed the medical book and said in a serious voice:
"No matter why he was with the woman, since he agreed to be with her, he should take responsibility. He hid away without any explanation. Have you ever thought about how painful it is for the woman? What if she is psychologically fragile and commits suicide because of love?"
Yu Yuan hadn't thought about this. His face became serious and he said without hesitation:
"I called Rao Yuan and asked her to come over and explain things to Tianyang. Don't tell Tianyang about this in advance, otherwise he will slip away again."
Ruogu nodded in agreement. It was not appropriate for outsiders to interfere in matters of the heart. If Yu Yuan had not been forced to get involved, she would not have meddled in other people's business.
They are all public figures, and if it really makes the headlines, Yu Yuan will inevitably be implicated.
