Before Jiang Ning could react, the water in his hand had already landed on the servant's face.
The servant who brought her water was so frightened that he nodded and kowtowed: "I'm sorry, miss, did I burn you? I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Jiang Ning was still holding the cup in her hand. She looked at her hand absentmindedly and pursed her lips: "Sorry, it's my fault. I didn't hold the cup firmly... Could you please clean up here?"
After Jiang Ning finished speaking, he handed the cup to the servant and went straight upstairs.
The servant looked up with some confusion. Jiang Ning's changes during this period were quite obvious.
Compared to the past when Jiang Ning would get angry and hit people when she was unhappy, she can now be said to be very gentle and polite.
I will no longer beat or scold them at will.
Just like the situation just now.
Throwing water on them was considered a mild offense. If she was even angrier, she would throw the cups at them to vent her anger.
She didn't dare to say much. After all, it was really difficult to find a job nowadays. In addition, the salary for working in the Jiang family was really good, so generally speaking, as long as it was not out of the ordinary, they were willing to endure it.
And Jiang Ning was sitting in the room.
He lowered his head and stared blankly at his hands.
For a moment, she felt like she was out of control.
It felt like my soul was being pulled.
When she came to her senses again, she had already done this.
Jiang Ning remained silent until he went to school.
Xie Jingyan was riding a bicycle. Seeing Jiang Ning silent, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"
Jiang Ning looked at the scenery along the way. The wind was cool in early November, and the maple leaves on the roadside were as red as fire. Jiang Ning looked at the not-so-clear sky and asked, "Xie Jingyan, what if my first personality comes back?"
Xie Jingyan pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "It's you who came back."
Jiang Ning shook his head: "By then, you won't like me anymore."
But Xie Jingyan's voice was firm: "I will always like you."
How long has it been?
The moment her soul is extracted by the world consciousness and she turns back into a soulless body, like a puppet being manipulated at will, will this love still be there?
Jiang Ning didn't know and didn't dare to agree with what he said.
After all, sincerity changes rapidly.
"Let's go to the ancient temple to make a wish together tomorrow." Jiang Ning changed the subject.
The bicycle was parked right at No. 9 Middle School.
She jumped out of the car and walked side by side with Xie Jingyan.
Xie Jingyan frowned, looking unhappy: "I don't want to be with Wei Jin."
Jiang Ning raised his eyebrows: "I didn't ask you to be alone with Wei Jin, we are all together."
Xie Jingyan raised his hand and rubbed his brow: "You know that's not what I meant. That guy has no good intentions towards you. Jiang Ning, you must not be fooled by the gangster."
Jiang Ning felt a headache when she thought of Wei Jin. She had already made it clear, but that boy was just stubborn.
So during this trip to the ancient temple, Jiang Ning decided to explain things to him clearly.
Don't waste your time with her.
In the afternoon, Jiang Ning went to the hospital where Jiang Yandai was staying.
He has been recuperating in the hospital for a week and can go home tomorrow, but Jiang Ning has to go to the ancient temple tomorrow, and Jiang Yan will also go to another villa to recuperate after returning, so Jiang Ning decided to go find him today.
But at the hospital entrance, she happened to meet Wei Jin.
Wei Jin was holding a lunch box in his hand.
When he saw Jiang Ning, his eyes lit up: "Jiang Ning! What a coincidence."
Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow: "Why are you here?"
Wei Jin smiled and said, "My mother is also receiving treatment in this hospital. By the way, have you seen my mother?"
Jiang Ning: “???”
She was puzzled: "Why should I see your mother?"
But Wei Jin was really enthusiastic and pulled Jiang Ning to the general ward: "Then come and see her, her life is almost at the end."
Jiang Ning was struggling, but after hearing the second half of Wei Jin's words, he stopped and followed him.
She hesitated, "The end of life? What happened to your mother?"
"Oh, cancer. It's been two years since I've been diagnosed. It's only recently that I discovered that the cancer cells have spread. It's already too late to save her." Wei Jin smiled. "But it doesn't matter. My mother lived two more years. It was a blessing. I also said that when you go to Beijing to study, I will take your mother over. I will wait for you while I earn money to take care of your mother. It seems that you don't need it anymore."
"My only thought now is to make a name for myself, Jiang Ning. I will definitely prove that I am worthy of you."
Jiang Ning looked at Wei Jin. Although he was smiling, his eyes were full of sadness and grief, and the words of refusal were stuck in his throat.
He seemed to be upset enough, so was she going to have to go through the motions of rejecting and saying hurtful things?
She really didn't want Wei Jin to waste his time. Jiang Ning was a small-minded person and was attracted to Xie Jingyan, so she accepted it.
"Wei Jin, actually I..."
"Shh." Wei Jin made a silencing gesture, interrupting what Jiang Ning was about to say: "We've arrived at the ward."
Jiang Ning looked towards the half-open ward, where a woman in a hospital gown lay. She had sparse hair and was not wearing a hat. Her face was wrinkled, showing the signs of aging, but her eyes were bright. From her skinny cheeks, Jiang Ning could also tell that she was also a gentle and beautiful woman when she was young, because Wei Jin's eyebrows and eyes looked very much like hers.
She raised her head and looked at Wei Jin: "Aren't you going in?"
Wei Jin lowered his eyes, a look of sadness on his face. "Stand outside for a while. My mother has suffered all her life. When I was five, my father was addicted to alcohol and gambling. He would beat her when he was drunk. She would always protect me and was covered in scars. Later, that man owed hundreds of thousands of yuan in loans and left without a word. That huge sum of money fell on my mother's head. She was just an ordinary rural woman with no education and no skills. That money almost crushed her."
"To repay the debt, my mother had to work three jobs a day. In the morning, she had to carry cement to the construction site. At noon, she ate at a restaurant and washed dishes for two hours. In the evening, she came back from the construction site and had no time to eat. She had to go out to work as a housekeeper, cleaning other people's homes. Her illness was caused by inhaling too much dust. At first, it was just mild tuberculosis, so she didn't take it seriously. Later, when she started coughing up blood more and more frequently, she went to the hospital for a check-up. By then, it had already developed into advanced lung cancer."
Wei Jin laughed at himself. "That year, she had just paid off all her loans. She thought good times were coming, but she was diagnosed with this life-threatening disease. Jiang Ning, why does this world always suffer from poverty, like a rope breaking at its thinnest point? They don't want to leave us any chance of survival."
Wei Jin was very confused at the end, and Jiang Ning was also unable to answer.
She could only say slowly: "I don't know."
Wei Jin looked at Jiang Ning with a smile: "It's true, rich people don't have this kind of trouble, but Jiang Ning, you are different from the rich ladies I have met."
