35: The Mystery of Yang Jiarui's Life

  The midnight snack was finally ready in the ambiguous kitchen. Jiangnan sat down and then remembered what he wanted to ask today, "By the way, do you know Bai Xue?"

  Leng Yao frowned and glared at Jiangnan, "Are you still a human being? Are you thinking about your mother-in-law?"

  Jiang Nan held the bowl and smiled bitterly, "What are you thinking about? I mean, do you know Yang Jiarui?"

  Leng Yao put down the bowl, and the blush on her face disappeared. "What's wrong?"

  Jiangnan put a spoonful of soup towards Leng Yao's mouth, "You look stingy, I'm just curious why they are so different from mother and daughter, and judging from their ages, they don't look like mother and daughter. By the way, aren't you alumni? How come you don't know each other?"

  Leng Yao drank up the soup Jiangnan brought over in one gulp, her eyes becoming deep, "Bai Xue is my senior sister, and she is three years older than me. She was a famous figure on campus at that time?"

  "So she got pregnant after being pursued by so many people? But she couldn't have given birth to Yang Jiarui at her age, right?"

  "Would you like to hear me? Why are you so anxious? I just heard that they are not my biological children."

  "Not... a biological child?" Jiangnan looked at Leng Yao with eyes wide open, as if he had heard some incredible news.

  Leng Yao continued, "If you think about it carefully, she is not a biological child. At that time, Senior Sister Bai Xue had a good family background and a good future, but..." At this point, Leng Yao paused, "She fell in love with a man who had a family, but not really a family. A man with a child, just as you think, the child was Yang Jiarui. Later, I don't know why the man died, so Senior Sister Bai Xue gave up her future and work, adopted the child, and then dropped out of school and opened a small restaurant in the university... That's all I know, and I heard it all. I'm not a gossip, so of course I won't expose someone's scars in person."

  Jiangnan nodded, not quite understanding, but after Leng Yao said that, everything seemed to make sense. Yang Jiarui hated her biological father so much, and Bai Xue was so young.

  "I heard... don't gossip about me!" Leng Yao came closer and said, "I heard that Bai Xue had nothing to do with that man. Even when I was in college, some people said that Bai Xue was a virgin."

  Jiangnan's brows furrowed even more tightly. For a man, she carried that man's child, and for so many years. What kind of woman and what kind of character could be so? Thinking of Bai Xue's gentle face, Jiangnan couldn't help but ponder.

  "It was a crazy rumor on campus at the time. I also heard about it. Later, as the graduates left the school, no one paid attention to Bai Xue anymore. Now, seven or eight years have passed in a flash."

  "Oh, so that's it." Jiangnan thought while holding the chopsticks in his mouth.

  "So, I don't object to you being with Yang Jiarui, but you must not let the girl down, and don't hurt her. Take safety measures for yourself." Leng Yao said angrily.

  A sense of guilt spread in Jiangnan's heart. No wonder Yang Jiarui's temper and personality were so weird. It turned out that she had experienced so many changes when she was a child. It was indeed a big blow to a little girl.

  "By the way, do you know Song Ruo..."

  "Pah!" Leng Yao's chopsticks slashed down and hit Jiangnan's hand. "You just said you would treat Yang Jiarui well. Now you are thinking about the food in the pot while eating?"

  Jiangnan rubbed the back of his hand, "Look at what you said, am I that kind of person? If I were that kind of person, you wouldn't fall in love with me, right?"

  "You are so conceited!" Leng Yao pouted her plump lips and told Jiangnan in a little girl's way that she was jealous.

  "I really don't mean anything else. I just don't know why Song Ruohan and Yang Jiarui seem to be very familiar with each other, but why Yang Jiarui hates her so much."

  Leng Yao served Jiangnan some rice, then sat down and said, "Who knows about the little girl? Maybe she was just making trouble, but you are not allowed to pay attention to her outside. I didn't even know there was a Yang Jiarui..."

  Yes, after having Yang Jiarui, Leng Yao no longer knew how to face it. She thought that she was also a woman of the new era, and she could not even think of having two wives.

  Leng Yao was also very conflicted. She was already old, and if Jiangnan couldn't give her a perfect answer after graduation, she would be in her thirties by then. She couldn't help feeling sad when she thought of this.

  Jiangnan seemed to sense Leng Yao's intention, "Okay, I said I won't let you down. As long as you don't mind, I will definitely give you a future!"

  "Hmm..." Leng Yao lowered his head, and he believed it so firmly.

  After dinner, Jiangnan looked at the watch. It was almost ten o'clock. "I won't be here tonight. If someone sees me, shouldn't they gossip about you?"

  Leng Yao did not try to persuade him to stay. Of course she knew where Jiangnan wanted to go. She actually felt inexplicably envious of Yang Jiarui. After listening to her introduction just now, Leng Yao was sure that Jiangnan would pay more attention to this little girl Yang Jiarui.

  But when Jiangnan left, Leng Yao was still sitting alone in the kitchen in a daze until late. She was no longer a little girl. Did she really want to gamble on Jiangnan, who had an uncertain future?

  After leaving the family compound, Jiang Nan went straight to the restaurant. As expected, Yang Jiarui was still awake. Jiang Nan felt a pang in his heart, knowing what the little girl was waiting for. Thinking of Leng Yao's words just now, he swore in his heart that he would at least not let Yang Jiarui leave him.

  "Now that you're here, I'll give you a hot meal."

  "No need to bother!" Jiangnan now just wanted to hold Yang Jiarui quietly.

  "Have you eaten?" Yang Jiarui looked at Jiangnan with wide eyes at the kitchen door, her eyes full of disappointment.

  Jiangnan shook his head and smiled, "No, who can I eat with? Isn't it time to come back and wait for my wife to cook for me?"

  Yang Jiarui turned around and went to the kitchen with relief. Fortunately, she didn't hear Jiangnan's loud burp. Looking at the meal that Yang Jiarui had carefully prepared for him, Jiangnan rubbed his stomach. Fortunately, he was like a wolf and could eat five meals a day, and one meal could last for five days, but his stomach was made of meat. Jiangnan gritted his teeth and ate two bowls of food before he saw Yang Jiarui's satisfied smile.

  "Are we going back today?" Yang Jiarui lowered her head and grabbed the pocket of her apron.

  Jiangnan said nothing, walked to the door, and pulled down the roller shutter. He should spend more time with the injured girl.

  Yang Jiarui cleaned up the dishes with satisfaction, then went upstairs. As soon as Jiangnan went upstairs, he saw Yang Jiarui wearing a small bellyband, sitting on the edge of the bed just like yesterday.

  Jiangnan's heart twitched again, "Jia Rui..."

  Jiangnan didn't know what to say. Was this what he came here for? Or in Yang Jiarui's mind, was this the only way to keep him? Having just stepped into the ranks of women, Yang Jiarui didn't understand many things in bed, and thought that women just had to spread their legs.

  Looking at Yang Jiarui's shy and bashful movements, Jiangnan felt like a beast. This girl actually volunteered to be a tool for his venting.

  Jiang Nan slowly sat down beside Yang Jiarui, put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Jiarui, we just finished yesterday, take a few days off, and you're not feeling well..."

  "It's okay, I can do it. I'm fine now. If you don't believe me, try it yourself..." Yang Jiarui didn't say the words "try it yourself" even though she was gritting her teeth.

  Jiangnan picked up Yang Jiarui and gently stroked her petite body. Just as Leng Yao said, she did not have Leng Yao's mature body and could not withstand such torture. Yang Jiarui reached out to turn off the desk lamp, and then took the initiative to help Jiangnan take off his clothes.

  Jiangnan's movements today were particularly gentle. He had already released his sexual desire once, so his movements were very slow. He gently kissed her lips, then moved to her ears, nose and eyes. One hand moved along Yang Jiarui's smooth belly and all over her body...

  Yang Jiarui tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time, and her face was filled with the blush of a young girl, as beautiful as the sunset. Her awkward movements from the first time had improved a lot, and she knew how to cooperate with a man. Jiangnan only took more advanced actions after Yang Jiarui adapted.

  After two hours of drama, Yang Jiarui never expected that this thing would be more than just painful.

  When the sprint was over, Yang Jiarui clasped her fingers and whispered, "I will be yours for the rest of my life."

  In the darkness, Jiangnan hugged Yang Jiarui and thought to himself, how can I compensate you, my silly girl? "Jiarui, if you have any worries in the future, just tell your husband. Don't keep it in your heart, okay?"

  Yang Jiarui pouted her lips and snuggled in Jiangnan's arms, feeling very safe and secure. "I heard from others that you work in a place like that, right?"

  "What kind of place?" Jiang Nan was confused for a moment, then immediately understood what she meant, "Oh, you mean the bar."

  "I heard that place is dirty and messy, full of bad women..."

  Jiangnan laughed and used his hand to push her bangs behind her ears. "That's all nonsense. It's very profitable to work there. When I first came to Jiangling, I couldn't even afford to eat."

  "You can come to my house." Yang Jiarui said eagerly, but then she felt something was wrong and quickly changed her words, "My mom and I are too busy to handle it. She wants to hire two waiters. It would be great if you could go... We can still be together."

  "Hehe, then I'd be a gigolo, wouldn't I? Okay, I'll accompany you often, go to bed quickly." Now she was tied to the bar, and it was hard to quit once she got involved in some things. Just like Shanshan said, she didn't want to be a prostitute forever at the beginning, she wanted to earn enough money to run a small clothing store and then quit, but she did it for three years anyway.

  Seeing Jiang Nan say this, Yang Jiarui didn't want to force it, and she was already very satisfied now. She lost her mother at a young age and her father when she was less than five years old. Who says that five-year-olds don't remember things? Yang Jiarui clearly remembered the pain she felt when she lost her father, and she could also feel how those people viewed Bai Xue when she appeared next to the beautiful girl. She remembered all this.

  But at that time Yang Jiarui didn't understand why Bai Xue, who had nothing to do with her, raised her. Now that she has Jiangnan, she understands. If it were her, she would do the same.

  Thinking of this, Yang Jiarui's heart moved and tears rolled down. When Bai Xue lost that man, was she as painful as if she had lost
