Film and TV: Starting from childhood, I will give up Zhong Yi

Chapter 111 Do you want to take revenge on Jiang Haokun?

The early morning sun shines through the thin curtains, casting a faint golden light.

Lin Yuan just gently pushed away Peng Jiahe's slender legs that were on him, but after a while, those legs seemed to have their own consciousness and kept lifting up again.

This girl hasn't woken up yet, it was purely a subconscious instinctive reaction.

Now the weather is gradually entering summer and the temperature is rising quietly, but I don’t feel hot at all while holding Lin Yuan. Instead, I feel very comfortable.

Lin Yuan sat up, patted Peng Jiahe's face gently, and said softly: "Get up, I'll take you back to grandma's house."

Lu Yuan must have gone to the bar to get drunk last night. Grandma Peng is alone at home now, so I have to go visit her and take care of her.

Although I had asked Peng Jiahe to talk to Grandma Peng on the phone last night and told her not to worry about Peng Hai, she is suffering from Alzheimer's disease after all, and she might forget about it in the blink of an eye.

Looking at Lu Yuan, it seemed that he had made up his mind to leave. He didn't want to stay in this city and make Jiang Haokun and Gan Jing uncomfortable.

The most important point is that he doesn't think he can bring happiness to Gan Jing.

If Lu Yuan did not take Grandma Peng to Seattle as in the original drama, he would have arranged a caregiver for Grandma Peng. After all, how could a girl like Peng Jiahe take care of Grandma Peng?

He even decided on the candidate for the caregiver: Liu Jing, Peng Hai's ex-wife and Jiahe's mother.

This can also be regarded as a way for her to pay for some of the mistakes she made when she was young.

Peng Jiahe hummed twice and continued to sleep soundly, with a few strands of hair scattered around her cheeks, looking particularly peaceful and well-behaved.

Lin Yuan sat up, reached out to touch her delicate and lovely feet, and gently tickled the soles of her feet twice.

"Hmm..." Peng Jiahe subconsciously retracted her feet. The redness on her face gradually became a little blurred, like peach blossoms blooming in spring. Her little mouth pouted slightly and she hummed softly.

However, Lin Yuan had no intention of letting go. His fingers continued to gently wander over her feet, his eyes full of a teasing smile.

Peng Jiahe finally lost all sleepiness and opened his eyes suddenly, with a look of lingering sleepiness and anger after being teased.

"Cousin, let me sleep a little longer."

"It's already late and you still want to sleep."

Lin Yuan looked at her helplessly. He didn't sleep well last night.

Peng Jiahe smiled slyly, and a hint of mischief flashed in his smart eyes: "Cousin, did you hear what I said last night?"

"did not hear it."

Peng Jiahe said angrily, "You are lying. I haven't even said what you meant."

She looked at her cousin who was sitting cross-legged on the bed. His well-defined profile looked particularly handsome in the morning light. With an idea in her mind, she slowly extended her little feet over and moved her toes playfully.

"Cousin," Peng Jiahe said softly with a firm and shy look in her eyes, "When I grow up, I will be your girlfriend, okay?"

"We are cousins."

Peng Jiahe stared at Lin Yuan without blinking, and said expectantly, "But we are already five generations old."

Seeing that Lin Yuan didn't say anything, Peng Jiahe seemed to muster up great courage and gently moved her toes on Lin Yuan's legs through the fabric, as if trying to help Lin Yuan make up his mind.

The two of them woke up at nine o'clock and got out of bed at ten o'clock.

Lin Yuan walked into the kitchen and fried two poached eggs. He then took out some crispy toast from the bread maker and poured two cups of milk. A simple breakfast was ready.

Peng Jiahe lingered in the room for a long time. Thinking of the intimate interaction she had just had with Lin Yuan, her face flushed. She bit her lips lightly and walked out the door shyly.

Her calves still felt a little sore.

However, when she saw her cousin's secretly happy expression in the end, she still felt a different kind of pride in her heart.

Lin Yuan urged, "Eat quickly, and then go to grandma's house."

Peng Jiahe's shy state did not last long, and she soon returned to her usual lively and cheerful personality.

The two of them went to Grandma Peng's house together.

Grandma Peng put down the sweater she was knitting, cast a probing look from behind her somewhat old reading glasses, and asked, "Jiahe, where is your father?"

Peng Jiahe lied in good faith: "My dad has gone to work."

"Oh, Dahai found a job. I knew my son would be successful." Grandma Peng smiled and excitedly picked up the cloth bag, muttering, "I'm going out to buy dumpling wrappers and stuffing."

Lin Yuan and Peng Jiahe looked at each other helplessly, and both chose to remain silent tacitly, not saying anything to stop them.

Grandma Peng has been walking this route to buy groceries for countless years, so she is unlikely to get lost.

"Lu Yuan couldn't have left already?" Peng Jiahe exclaimed as if she remembered something.

She hurried into the room and frantically searched in Lu Yuan's bag.

In the corner of the bag, the passport lay there quietly. Peng Jiahe breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves relaxed a little.

Peng Jiahe stuffed her passport into her pocket. She raised her chin slightly, a smug smile appeared on her face, and she said proudly, "Now he can't leave."

"It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married. If he wants to leave, let him go. He will only suffer more if he stays here."

Peng Jiahe shook her head stubbornly: "What about my grandma? Doesn't he care about her?"

She felt sad about Lu Yuan's departure and worried about her grandmother's future.

Lin Yuan held her in his arms and comforted her softly, "Lu Yuan is responsible for your father's affairs, but he can't spend his whole life to pay for it. Some things must be faced and let go."

In the original play.

Lu Yuan gave up Gan Jing, rejected Jiang Lai, and took Grandma Peng back to the restaurant that Peng Hai wanted to buy before he died. He has completely become like Peng Hai.

"But he has lost his sense of taste. What can he do if he leaves? We can still have someone to take care of him here." Peng Jiahe still found it hard to accept this reality. She bit her lip tightly and said, "I'll take his passport first. Even if he leaves, he should at least say hello to us."

Lin Yuan nodded, and agreed with Peng Jiahe's idea in his heart.

Given Lu Yuan's personality, it is indeed very likely that he would leave without saying goodbye.

He patted Peng Jiahe on the shoulder: "Don't think too much about it, wait until Lu Yuan comes back."

By noon, Lu Yuan didn't come back, but Grandma Peng came back with fresh ingredients. Lin Yuan showed off his cooking skills and made a few delicious side dishes, and had lunch with Grandma Peng and Jiahe.

In the afternoon, the sunlight becomes softer.

Lin Yuan asked Peng Jiahe to stay at home with Grandma Peng to make dumplings, while he went to Gan Jing's house.

……

"Ding-ling~Ding-ling~" The crisp doorbell broke the silence in the house. Gan Jing stood up, dragged his tired steps towards the door, and welcomed Lin Yuan in.

Her face showed a little haggard, and the faint dark circles under her eyes seemed to tell of her sleepless night last night.

She gently handed over a glass of water, then sat quietly on the sofa next to Lin Yuan.

"Didn't sleep well?" Gan Jing pursed her lips and nodded, her eyes full of weakness and fatigue: "Lin Yuan, can you tell me about Lu Yuan today?"

Lin Yuan picked up the water cup and took a sip. He did not immediately respond to Gan Jing's question, but said slowly: "Let's talk first. Before Lu Yuan left without saying goodbye, what kind of person did you think he was?"

"He..." Gan Jing lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then slowly spoke: "He is kind-hearted, talented, responsible, and very concerned about my affairs. He will remember every little thing I say."

"I didn't ask you to tell me all the advantages, what about the disadvantages?"

Gan Jing frowned subconsciously: "Although he is a little impatient and impulsive, he has never been like this to me."

Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh, but there wasn't much humor in his laughter: "That's all, nothing else?"

Gan Jing seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied with Lin Yuan's behavior of keeping things a secret, and seemed to think that Lin Yuan was deliberately belittling Lu Yuan. He was a little unhappy, "Just say what you want to say."

"Since you're not very cooperative, I don't think there's any need to continue."

Lin Yuan stood up and pretended to leave. Gan Jing quickly stood up and grabbed Lin Yuan's arm, pleading in her voice: "Don't leave, that's not what I meant."

Lin Yuan turned around suddenly, held Gan Jing's head with one hand, wrapped the other around her slender waist, and kissed her soft and moist lips without hesitation. This sudden intimate action made Gan Jing's eyes widen instantly and her body stiffened slightly.

After a while, Lin Yuan let her go, his eyes full of dominance and unquestionableness: "Remember, you are begging me."

Gan Jing felt extremely embarrassed and conflicted. Although they had done more intimate things before, she was clearly talking about Lu Yuan in the last second and kissing Lin Yuan passionately in the next second, and she still had a boyfriend now.

Lin Yuan pulled her to sit down again. This time, Lin Yuan did not keep her in suspense and said seriously, "From what you told me before, about Lu Yuan attacking the police and stealing the model, you saw romance, thoughtfulness, and touching moments, but I saw impulsiveness, ignorance, and a lack of legal awareness."

"It can't even be said to be indifferent, it's simply non-existent."

"Given his behavior of attacking the police, they have the power to shoot him on the spot, even if they were disrespectful first."

"As for stealing the model, if you are caught by the US police, you will be sentenced to at least three years. You are an international student and he is a handyman. Can you afford to bail him out?"

"These are just what you know. What about what you don't know?"

"The reason why Lu Yuan has become lawless is partly due to your indulgence. Your failure to stop him is also an accomplice."

"Perhaps in your heart, these past events are just insignificant episodes, which are the testimony of your mutual support and going through difficult times together, and are the beautiful moments that you can't let go of in your memories."

"Indeed, thanks to Lu Yuan's own efforts and talent, you did live a relatively affluent life later on."

"But one day, when Lu Yuan finds that he can no longer satisfy your needs with his own abilities, he will take risks again, cross the legal red line, and do something illegal."

"You may get away with breaking the law once or twice, but are you so lucky every time?"

Gan Jing sat there quietly, listening to Lin Yuan's sharp and profound analysis, and felt a buzzing in his head.

Her lips trembled slightly, her eyes were full of shock, and after a long time, she managed to utter a few words with difficulty: "You mean, he..."

"Yes, he was arrested."

Gan Jing subconsciously retorted: "How could that be? At that time, Lu Yuan was already a Michelin three-star chef with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and he also bought a villa for me. With his financial strength, he didn't need to do anything illegal."

Lin Yuan shook his head: "You are wrong. It was the time of the financial crisis. Lu Yuan spent money lavishly for you and was in debt. In order to pay off his debts, he helped people smuggle passports. But this time his luck was not very good. He was caught by the police the first time."

"Then why didn't he contact me?"

Gan Jing is feeling very confused right now and can't calm down at all.

If he really went to jail, why didn't he contact me? Why couldn't he let me face it together with him?

"Remember what I said when we first met?"

"There are some protagonists in TV dramas who would rather bear everything alone, even if their loved ones misunderstand them, in order to make their loved ones live a better life without being negatively affected by them."

"For Lu Yuan, he only needs to go to jail for a year to keep your villa, and it won't affect your studies. Given his personality, what do you think he will choose?"

"Then again, didn't you think of going to the police station to ask?"

Gan Jing's lips trembled a little: "At that time, I asked Hao Kun to ask, but he said..." At this point, Gan Jing's eyes flashed with anger and despair, "Jiang Hao Kun has been deceiving me all the time!"

Jiang Hao Kun knew clearly that Lu Yuan was serving his sentence in a cold prison, but he still remained calm and accompanied her to pretend to look for Lu Yuan for more than half a year.

She could no longer hold back her tears and they flowed freely down Gan Jing's cheeks. She hated Lu Yuan's selfishness and Jiang Hao Kun's deception, but she hated herself the most.

If I had gone to the police station myself and had not chosen to rely on Jiang Hao Kun, perhaps all the truth would have come to light at that moment.

If I had been a little more patient and stayed in the United States for another half a year, waiting until Lu Yuan was released from prison, I could still have saved the relationship.

Thinking of this, she could no longer sit still, and her whole body collapsed weakly into Lin Yuan's arms.

Gan Jing's weak appearance actually aroused Lin Yuan's sympathy.

Lin Yuan licked away her tears. At the same time, she felt a tightness in front of her. It turned out that Lin Yuan put his hand in.

Gan Jing gently pushed Lin Yuan's handsome face away. She really didn't have any thoughts in that regard at the moment.

Lin Yuan didn't care and continued, "Actually, this is also what I'm confused about. If Jiang Haokun knew about Lu Yuan's situation, it wouldn't be difficult for him to pay the bail for Lu Yuan with his wealth."

Lin Yuan's words brought her back to her senses a little.

Is it that Lu Yuan is unwilling to ask for help, or is it that Jiang Hao Kun is unwilling to help?

In Gan Jing's opinion, it is very likely that it is both.

She shook her head gently, not wanting to think about it anymore, and asked, "I remember you told me that Lu Yuan only reappeared a year ago, so what about the other year in between?"

Lin Yuan laughed and said slowly, "Speaking of the year in between, it's even more bizarre. Lu Yuan was sentenced to one year. He must have thought that he would behave well and strive for a reduced sentence so that he could be released and meet you sooner. However, in prison, he was constantly bullied and teased. He couldn't stand it anymore and stabbed a white man who had been bullying him. He was sentenced to another year."

"I never like to assume the worst of others, but I think this might be Jiang Haokun's doing."

"After all, judging from what happened to Lu Yuan after he returned to China, Jiang Haokun is very wary of Lu Yuan and has been on guard against your resurgence."

"You've been looking for Lu Yuan in the United States for more than half a year. Jiang Haokun has no confidence that he can win your heart within half a year."

"Fortunately, you finally agreed to go with Jiang Haokun. Otherwise, if you had continued to look for him in the United States, Lu Yuan would probably have been stuck in prison forever."

Hearing this, Gan Jing's tears burst out again. She asked Jiang Hao Kun to come and help her find Lu Yuan, but instead he harmed Lu Yuan. She became an accomplice who pushed Lu Yuan into a deeper abyss.

Lin Yuan said in a low and bewitching voice: "You are still Jiang Haokun's girlfriend. Do you want to take revenge on Jiang Haokun?"

Gan Jing understood what Lin Yuan meant, but her anger and disgust towards Jiang Hao Kun had reached its peak. She didn't want to be a fool who accepted everything anymore, nor did she want to remain a virgin for this hypocritical villain.

Gan Jing bit his lower lip so hard that it almost bled. A trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he uttered one word firmly: "Okay."

……

"Gan Jing, Gan Jing..."

Just when the fire was halfway through, Lu Yuan's voice suddenly came from downstairs.
