Chapter 154 Don't Move, I Want to Hug You
That night, Aying tossed and turned in sleep.
But he just tossed and turned, and when dawn came, he was like a soldier who had been revived with full blood, and he was full of energy again.
In Aying's words, time is precious and should not be wasted. It doesn't matter if you cry and make a fuss at night as long as it doesn't affect your work during the day.
"Girl, why don't you take a rest? The New Year is just a few days away and there's nothing to be busy about." Su Jian said softly.
Ah Ying shook her head. She couldn't fall asleep either. "I'll go check on Guan Mengzhu."
Speaking of Guan Mengzhu, Aying really felt sorry for her. Even at this point, there was not even one person who cared about her.
Yimei Courtyard.
As soon as Ah Ying walked in, she heard a woman muttering, "What are you capable of? You lost your virginity before you even got married, and now you have a miscarriage. If this happened in our hometown, you would be thrown into a pig cage!"
Guan Mengzhu then weakly retorted: "You, you get out of here..."
"Do you think I want to come here?" the old woman continued to mutter.
Ah Ying was wearing a crane cloak and listening quietly outside, with a gloomy look in her eyes.
Su Jian had already been upset by the words of the old woman in the room. When she saw the girl's expression, she knew without a doubt that the old woman had made another mistake.
The next second, the old woman turned around and came out cursing, shaking her handkerchief.
Just in time, I met Aying's deep eyes.
"Miss, Miss..." When the old woman saw Aying's eyes, she immediately lowered her head guiltily.
"You are so arrogant! Could it be that none of the jobs in this mansion are worthy of your attention?" Ah Ying said sternly.
When the old woman heard this, she knew that Ah Ying had blocked her words, and she begged for mercy: "Miss, spare me, I lost my mouth."
Ah Ying glanced at her coldly and said, "Su Jian, tell Ma Saner to find her indenture contract and report it to the old lady, and send her back to the traffickers. We can't afford such a person!"
When she heard that she was going to sell it again, the old woman was so frightened that she immediately trembled all over and cried, "Young lady, please spare my life. I will never dare to do it again..."
Ah Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Jian understood and said sternly: "Get out of here!"
The old woman rolled out, shaking like a sieve.
With a stern look on her face, Ah Ying then walked into the house.
A strong smell of medicine and blood mixed together, causing Ah Ying to cover her nose.
Su Jian frowned and asked, "Why is no one paying attention to this?"
When Ah Ying walked in with one foot deep and one foot shallow, she saw Guan Mengzhu, who had lost a lot of weight, half leaning on the bed with a gloomy face, and was about to reach out to serve her a cup of tea.
Su Jian went up and handed the teacup to Guan Mengzhu.
Guan Mengzhu's pale face drooped in embarrassment and awkwardness, and the hand holding the teacup tightly grasped the cup.
"What's wrong? Where's your usual spirit?" Ah Ying said when he saw her so depressed.
Guan Mengzhu picked at her fingers, as if life had worn them down to the point where they had no edges at all.
Ah Ying also knew that misfortune would affect a person's temperament, so she slowly changed her tone, "Does it still hurt?"
Guan Mengzhu paused.
"I have already chased away the old woman just now. I will assign two caring people to come to you later." Aying did not feel embarrassed and continued.
After saying this, Guan Mengzhu slowly raised her head.
When she looked at Ah Ying, she felt that the arrogant lady from before might never come back...
"Thank you..." After a long time, Guan Mengzhu's low voice came.
Ah Ying looked at Guan Mengzhu, "What are you going to do in the future? My elder sister has gone to Qingzhou, I believe she will be back before the end of the year." Guan Mengzhu's eyes were empty, "How could they accept a useless person like me..."
After all, he is about the same age as me, and he has experienced such a big change in life, so it is understandable that he can't figure it out. "Take it slow and take care of your health first."
Just as Ah Ying stood up to leave, Guan Mengzhu clasped her hands tightly and mustered up the courage to say, "I'm sorry!"
Ah Ying lowered her eyebrows slightly, without looking back, "I have received your kindness."
On the way, Su Jian sighed and said, "I'm afraid Meng Zhu's life is ruined..."
Ah Ying doesn't think so. She is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and there are still many possibilities in her life. "Let's see how she lives her life. If she lives well, her life will still be wonderful."
The two of them were walking with a little emotion, and unexpectedly, they met Xie Chengyi who was also resting today.
Two people, one on this side and one on that side.
After staring at each other for a few seconds, Ah Ying really felt that she couldn't hold on any longer, so she moved aside to let Xie Chengyi pass first.
Xie Chengyi walked over slowly, looked at Ah Ying who looked calm, then turned to Su Jian and said, "You go back first."
Su Jian was stunned and quickly turned around and left.
Ah Ying stared at Su Jian's unscrupulous act of "abandoning her master and running away" in shock, then looked at Xie Chengyi again, "Is there anything else we can talk about?"
Unexpectedly, Xie Chengyi didn't even give her a chance to speak. He just took her hand and left.
Ah Ying was dragged forward by Xie Chengyi, frowning and saying, "Let me go! You are bullying a decent woman, okay?"
Whoever said thank you, Chengyi paused immediately. Ah Ying couldn't dodge in time and fell directly into Xie Chengyi's arms.
"Will you come with me?"
Ah Ying looked at this straight man in frustration, hating that he was not giving her a way out, but a suspended ladder, and he was still reluctant to step down. She immediately said with a stiff neck: "I won't go!"
The next second, Aying regretted it.
Xie Chengyi simply picked up Aying.
Ah Ying, who was carried on Xie Chengyi's shoulders, was so frightened that she said, "Xie Chengyi, let me go!"
Perhaps feeling frightened, Xie Chengyi gently put Ah Ying down and asked politely, "Do you want to leave?"
Ah Ying held her breath and turned her head, glaring at him, "You are tyrannizing!"
No matter how much she complained, she had to leave. Aying didn't want Xie Chengyi to carry her anymore. Her face turned red and she almost vomited. She felt very bad.
Seeing Aying walking forward meekly, Xie Chengyi followed leisurely.
We took a horse-drawn carriage all the way to the lake.
Ah Ying looked around suspiciously before she dared to reach out and hand it to Xie Chengyi who was coming to greet her.
Step down lightly.
Although it is cold here, the scenery is very beautiful. The surface of the lake has frozen into ice, and the trees along the road are covered with snow. It looks like everything is covered in silver, and I feel my heart become much clearer.
"Are you cold?" Xie Chengyi held Aying's hand and did not let go.
Ah Ying had no choice but to follow him, "It's not cold."
"Why are your hands so cold if they're not cold?" Xie Chengyi asked.
Ah Ying rolled her eyes at him and said, "It has always been like this. It may be because I fell into the river when I was a child and hurt myself."
Xie Chengyi's eyes moved, he took a step forward, and put his arms around Aying's waist from behind.
Suddenly, Xie Chengyi embraced her in his arms, and the whole person was instantly surrounded by warmth. Ah Ying was slightly surprised and wanted to break free, but she heard Xie Chengyi's low voice coming from above her head, "Don't move, I want to hug you..."
At this moment, Ah Ying's heart was conquered by Xie Chengyi...
