After Two Lifetimes I Was Reborn Back Inside A Book - Chapter 130
He Qianjian had hoped that the English system would appear in the afternoon, but the system did not appear until the exam was over.
On the round table, the old man sitting at the head wiped his mouth and said, “How did you do in the exam today?”
The 8th of every month is the time for dinner at the He family’s old house. Except for He Qianyang, who is studying abroad, and Jiang Chen, who didn’t come today due to special reasons, everyone in the He family is here.
As soon as the old man opened his mouth, everyone’s eyes moved to the end of the table.
——Ever since Jiang Chen came to the old house for dinner for the first time, and He Qianjian was pushed to the end of the table by He Qianmin’s words, he has been sitting there regularly.
He Qianjian paused when he was about to pick up the food, suppressing the panic and panic accumulated all day, slowly put down the chopsticks, raised his head and said: “The two doors of the day before yesterday felt pretty good, but I didn’t sleep well last night. and English did not pass well.”
Mr. He closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and asked, “How much do you expect?”
He Qianjian tightened his hands on his knees, his face looked a little pale, but it matched what he said: “I guess the Chinese yesterday was above 145, and the mathematics is a perfect score…” He dragged his tone, seeing Mr. He showed a slightly satisfied expression before continuing: “During the general exam this morning, I felt dizzy, and my vision was a little blurred after I did a few questions. I didn’t know what I wrote until the end. It’s the same in the afternoon, so I don’t know how many points I can get in these two exams…”
Yang Yun had long noticed that He Qianjian had been in a bad mood since noon, but she hadn’t recovered from the joy that Jiang Chen was getting closer to them than before, so she didn’t think much about it, just I thought it was He Qianjian who was having emotional ups and downs, but I didn’t expect that it might be because he was not feeling well.
Hearing what he said now, Yang Yun couldn’t help feeling a little worried.
She cared: “Are you okay? Do you have a fever? Why didn’t you tell your mother at noon?”
He Qianjian’s eyes flickered slightly, and he shook his head and said, “It’s not very strong, it’s been hard work for you and Dad to wait for me outside all day, I don’t want to make you worry any more.”
Yang Yun was slightly stunned, paused, got up and walked in front of him, touched his forehead, found no abnormality but still worried, said: “Mom asked Uncle Xiang to come over and let you have a look.”
“No need, really.” He Qianjian shook his head and said, “It’s probably just that I didn’t sleep well last night, and then I got a cold. I’ll sleep tonight and it will be fine.”
“But…”
“You are not feeling well. You should tell your mother in the morning.” Mr. He said in a deep voice, “You usually know the seriousness, but why did you lose the chain at this time? Do you know what it means to fail two exams?”
He Qianjian lowered his head and admitted his mistake sincerely: “I’m sorry.”
Mr. He gave him a look of resentment, got up and left the dining table.
“Old man!” Mrs. He called out, turned her head to look at He Qianjian who was much thinner than before, sighed inwardly, walked over to hold his hand, and said softly, “Dabao, don’t talk to your grandpa. He’s that grumpy.”
He Qianjian raised his eyes and saw the only old lady in front of him who cared about him as always and never changed her attitude. The resentment and grievance accumulated during this period could not help but well up in his eyes, and he called out: “Grandma.”
When Mrs. He saw his red eye sockets, she couldn’t help feeling a little distressed. She has noticed the changes of everyone in the family during this period of time. In fact, how could she not know that He Qianjian might have done something wrong? Both He Yanjun and He Yanfeng are her sons, and she knows them best, but if it wasn’t He Qianjian really did something wrong, they wouldn’t change him so much.
Not only did she know, she believed that her wife also knew that the sons and daughter-in-law must have something to hide from them. But even if they knew about it, they couldn’t give up their feelings for their grandson without knowing what happened.
“You are confused.” Mrs. He sighed softly thinking of the current situation at home and He Qianjian’s embarrassing situation: “You did not do well in the exam this time, which will have a great impact on you. Your grandfather is worried because of you .”
He Qianmin didn’t speak, his lowered eyes looked cute and fragile.
If it was really for his sake, you shouldn’t get angry at him at the dinner table at all. The He family has great fortune, money and power. And status, it also allows him to easily have a diploma that is impressive, not only in China, but also in foreign countries.
In the final analysis, it’s just because he is no longer the He family member.
On the way back to the villa by the river, these thoughts circulated in He Qianjian’s mind, looking at the back of the front seat, his eyes were filled with darkness.
At ten o’clock in the evening, there was still no news from the system.
He Qianjian was standing on the terrace, with the warm night wind blowing on his body, and the fragrance of flowers blooming in the garden was mixed in the breeze, making him feel warm, but he was trembling slightly, biting his nails nervously.
The system will never appear again, and without the system, he is nothing.
Power, status, money… He will lose everything. People he looked down on before will come to mock him and ridicule him. People he has offended before will come to retaliate against him and attack him. People who flattered him before will stay away from him. Add insult to injury.
He Qianjian imagined those scenes, anxiety and fear almost swallowed him up.
The two-day college entrance examination is over. For most senior high school students, June 9th will be a carnival.
But for Jiang Chen, this day was a trial he was waiting for but not looking forward to, and made countless psychological preparations but still had no conclusion.
He got up early, went to the vegetable market with his mother, and prepared a sumptuous lunch for the family of three at noon.
After dinner, Yang Si went to the room to coax Jiang Ran to take a nap. Jiang Zhuo and Jiang Chen washed the dishes in the kitchen first, and then went to the balcony together.
Jiang Zhuo lit a cigarette, sighed softly, and asked Jiang Chen, “Have you figured out how to tell your mother?”
Jiang Chen propped his hands on the railing, the wind was blowing against his face, the hair that hadn’t been cut in time was a bit long, and the black and broken hair was blown up by the wind again on his forehead, and his tone was a bit disturbed: “I didn’t think about it.” .”
Jiang Zhuo asked: “Did you not think about saying that? Or did you not think about how to deal with your mother’s reaction?”
“Both.” Jiang Chen turned his head: “Dad, do you think my mother would…”
“I can’t imagine it.” Jiang Zhuo shook his head: “But I have to warn you in advance, your mother may go crazy if she knows this.”
Jiang Chen could imagine.
From childhood to adulthood, Yang Si put almost all her energy on him, but for his growth, this kind of love has always been positive and restrained. She supported him and encouraged him but never doted on him. It means that this maternal love will be less than that of other families, but more profound, because everything she does is really thinking about his growth from his perspective.
This is the love that only a mother can do, and Yang Si gave it to him without reservation.
Now, he wants to tell her that he is not her biological son.
After learning the truth, it must be difficult for her to accept it.
“But no matter what, your mother must know about this.” Jiang Zhuo took a puff of cigarettes and put his hands on Jiang Chen’s shoulders: “Wait, no matter what your mother’s reaction will be when she finds out about this , you have to forgive her, she loves you too much…”
Jiang Chen nodded: “I know.”
Jiang Zhuo smiled: “Don’t worry, no matter what happens, your father and I are still here, right?”
“What are you talking about, you father and son?” Yang Si came out of the room, saw her husband and son standing on the balcony, walked over and pushed open the glass door, smelling the smell of smoke that hadn’t dissipated in time, frowned, and looked at her husband : “Why are you still smoking? How long have you not smoked?”
“Just one puff.” Jiang Zhuo pointed to the remaining half of the cigarette in the ashtray, and after confirming that he glanced at Jiang Chen, he stepped forward and put his arms around his wife’s shoulders: “Let’s go, let’s go to the living room, my son and I I have something to tell you.”
Yang Si turned to look at Jiang Chen: “What are you talking about?”
Jiang Chen met his mother’s curious and doubtful gaze, paused his steps, stood still on the spot, narrowed his eyes to avoid her gaze for a moment, then raised them to meet her without blinking.
“Actually, I am not your biological son.”
Jiang Zhuo stopped, seeing Yang Si’s stunned expression, he was anxious, this kid is usually very smart, why is he so stupid today, he just said the words without any foreshadowing.
“What did you say?” Yang Si turned around, a little unsure of what he had just heard: “You and your dad are on the balcony colluding to lie to me?”
Jiang Chen pursed his lips, the hands by his sides were already sweating, the wind from the balcony blew from behind, passed through the hall, and the T-shirt stuck to his back.
“In October last year, my biological parents came to me with a paternity test, proving that I was actually their biological son, and they wanted to recognize me back.”
Jiang Chen’s voice was low and slow, and each word was heard clearly in Yang Si’s ears. Every time he said a word, her expression changed a little.
“At that time, I just found out that you were pregnant. I was worried that your body would not be able to bear the stimulation, so I discussed with them to hide it from you first, and wait until you gave birth to a younger sister and confinement. The end of the college entrance examination is what I agreed with them. The final time, after today—”
“What will happen after today?!” Yang Si interrupted Jiang Chen with a trembling voice, his voice was unprecedentedly sharp: “After today they will **** you away! Take you away! I have worked so hard to grow up The child snatched it away!”
Jiang Chen raised his eyes, only to realize that Yang Si had burst into tears.
He was at a loss: “I, no, mom…”
Jiang Zhuo immediately took two steps forward to hug his wife, and comforted him: “Chenchen didn’t mean that, he didn’t tell you before because he didn’t want it…”
“Let me go!” Yang Si broke away from Jiang Zhuo, her hair messed up with her movements, and she looked at him with wide eyes: “Jiang Zhuo, you already knew that, didn’t you? You followed your son to hide it from me, because you wanted to get rid of it. Don’t want children for the benefit of others, right?”
Jiang Zhuo was in a hurry, he didn’t pay attention to what his wife said, and explained: “How could I not want Chen Chen, but there is nothing he can do about this matter, it’s a fact, he was hiding it from you before, it was for your own good, he was afraid that you would worry , the child is already so sensible, you…”
“You want to go with them? You don’t want me and your father anymore, do you?” Yang Si didn’t listen to Jiang Zhuo’s words at all. She walked up to Jiang Chen in three steps at a time, her eyes were red, and she grabbed his hand Her veins bulged with such force: “You don’t want me and your father anymore, do you want to leave us with the He family?”
Jiang Chen let her hold him, and comforted him in a sworn tone: “Mom, I will never leave you, I will always be your son.”
“That’s why the He family is threatening you, threatening you to leave us and go back with them?”
Jiang Chen suddenly came to his senses, he raised his eyes to meet Jiang Zhuo’s gaze, and Jiang Zhuo shook his head.
— “Mom, how do you know…it’s the He family?”
