Chapter 140 She is not someone you can mess with
Xia Yan was silent for a moment. She could feel the sincerity in Jiang Zhi's words, but at the same time, she was also worried that Lu Yan would be hurt again.
I am even more worried that her old love will rekindle.
By then, everything will be out of control.
"Zhizhi, what Lu Yan needs now is peace, not more trouble. If you really care about him, please give him some time."
"Auntie, I beg you."
Qi Hong looked at Jiang Zhi with eyes that were like when she was a child and was acting coquettishly around him. For a moment, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
She knew about the emotional entanglement between Jiang Zhi and Lu Yan, and also knew that Jiang Zhi was sincere to Lu Yan. But Qi Hong knew even more clearly that the Lu family could no longer withstand any more turmoil. No matter what happened, this family could not continue to face these difficulties.
"Zhizhi, are you really willing to give up everything for Lu Yan?" There was a hint of temptation in Qi Hong's voice.
Jiang Zhi nodded firmly. "Auntie, I do. I'm willing to give up everything for Brother Lu Yan. I will separate from Shang Yanjing and never bother with him again. I mean what I say."
Xia Yan listened at the side, feeling mixed emotions. She knew Jiang Zhi's words made sense, but deep down, she was also afraid that Jiang Zhi's appearance would disturb Lu Yan's heart again.
Although she lived with Qi Hong, her status was too low, so she had no chance of becoming the old lady's choice for Lu Yan's wife.
But, she liked Lu Yan in her heart.
When we were young, we fought for him and got hurt, and our whole family was destroyed.
But now, she had finally gotten into his family little by little and became someone he met every day.
She looked at Qi Hong and found that her expression had changed slightly.
"Auntie."
"Jiang Zhi, I don't believe what you say."
"Auntie, I promise that if Brother Lu Yan no longer loves me, I will never disturb his life. I just want to confirm his feelings, and then I will leave. Can you give me such a chance?"
Qi Hong looked at Jiang Zhi deeply, then turned to Xia Yan and said, "Xia Yan, take Zhi Zhi to find Lu Yan. But remember, if Lu Yan doesn't want to see her, you must let her leave."
Xia Yan nodded. She knew what Qi Hong's decision meant.
She relaxed.
So what about Lu Yan?
She felt very upset.
But at that moment, he didn't say anything and took Jiang Zhi into the Lu family's living room, secretly praying in his heart that Lu Yan could handle everything rationally.
Lu Yan was working in the study. When Xia Yan brought Jiang Zhi in, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Zhizhi, why are you here?" There was no emotion in Lu Yan's voice.
Jiang Zhi looked at Lu Yan, with thousands of words in his heart, but he didn't know where to start. He wanted to tell her that everything before was fake.
I want to say that she has had a very difficult life these years.
I want to say...
But many words seemed to be on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't say them. She took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "Brother Lu Yan, I came here to tell you that I am willing to give up Shang Yanjing and everything for you. I just want to know if you still have me in your heart."
Lu Yan was silent for a moment, as if trying to confirm whether what he said was true.
"Zhizhi, how do you want to play with me again?"
"I'm not trying to tease you, I'm serious."
"You think I will believe it?"
A hint of disappointment flashed across Jiang Zhi's eyes, but she nodded, "I understand, Brother Lu Yan. No matter what, I will wait for your answer."
Xia Yan watched from the side.
"Zhizhi, you seem a little different today."
Xia Yan's questioning made Jiang Zhi's heart sink to the bottom, and she didn't want to say too much.
After all, that silent past was very important to her.
It is an indelible existence.
But he didn't want to recall it anymore.
past.
"What's different about me?"
"It's not the same Zhizhi I know."
Even if Jiang Zhi had been aggressive towards her, he would not have adopted such an attitude.
Be groveling.
That's not her.
Jiang Zhi is proud.
Also brave and decisive.
With her, there is no possibility of going back to her.
If she doesn't want it, then she doesn't want it.
But the Jiang Zhi in front of her seemed completely different from her.
"Then tell me, what's different about me?"
There was a hint of determination and composure in her eyes.
Could it be that I am overthinking it?
Xia Yan knew very well that if she did not take action, then there would be no future between her and Lu Yan.
"Brother Lu Yan, I know I have done a lot of wrong things in the past, which hurt you and our relationship. But please believe me, this time, I am sincere." Jiang Zhi's voice trembled slightly, but her eyes were extremely firm.
Lu Yan looked at Jiang Zhi. He could feel the sincerity in her tone, but his heart had long been closed by the pain of the past.
He didn't know whether he should open the door again and let Jiang Zhi into his world.
Xia Yan observed their interaction from the sidelines, feeling a mixture of emotions. She knew Jiang Zhi's feelings for Lu Yan were genuine, but she was also afraid that Jiang Zhi's presence would hurt Lu Yan again. She took a deep breath and decided to break the silent deadlock.
"Lu Yan, Jiang Zhi has already made her attitude clear to you. She is willing to give up Shang Yanjing and everything in her past for you. I think you should give her a chance, and give yourself a chance as well." There was a hint of pleading in Xia Yan's voice.
He looked like he was doing it for Lu Yan's own good.
This sentence undoubtedly moved Lu Yan's heart.
Lu Yan was silent, his heart was struggling.
He also loved Jiang Zhi, but her betrayal broke his heart.
He couldn't compete with Shang Yanjing, and he knew his own strength. He absolutely couldn't compete with Shang Yanjing for Jiang Zhi, even if he loved her. He didn't know if he still had the courage to accept her and face the pain that might come again.
"Brother Lu Yan, I..." Jiang Zhi's voice choked, her tears began to fall, her heart ached so much that she couldn't breathe, "Even you don't want me anymore, right! I tried so hard to get to you, you know how much effort I put in, but you..."
"Jiang Zhi."
Finally, Lu Yan raised his head, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said, "Are you sure you are not kidding me?"
"We grew up together, why would I want to play tricks on you?"
"I need time to think about it. Go back first, and I'll give you an answer."
Jiang Zhi nodded. She knew this was the last chance Lu Yan gave her.
She turned and left, praying silently in her heart, hoping that Lu Yan would see her changes and give her a chance to start over.
Xia Yan looked at Jiang Zhi's back, her heart filled with uncertainty, "Lu Yan, are you still planning to start over with her? Have you forgotten Shang Yanjing's warning? Or, have you forgotten the pain of having your finger broken by Shang Yanjing that day! Lu Yan, don't be silly, Jiang Zhi is not someone you can touch."
