Chapter 360: Discussions among the Families (2)
At Yi Zhonghai's home, the atmosphere at the moment was as if covered by dark clouds, heavy and depressing. Yi Zhonghai sat at the table, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out. He folded his hands on the table, his fingertips slightly white, revealing his inner anger and unwillingness.
An old lady stood aside, her eyes fixed on Yi Zhonghai with concern. She looked at the food on the table. Although she was a little hungry, she did not dare to act rashly when she saw Yi Zhonghai's gloomy face.
She spoke carefully, with a tremor in her voice: "Lao Yi, do you want to eat something? You haven't eaten all day."
After the aunt finished speaking, she stared at Yi Zhonghai, expecting him to give her a response. Her eyes were full of concern and worry, fearing that her words would anger him again.
Yi Zhonghai was silent for a while, his eyes swept over the food, and a slight swallowing sound came from his throat. He knew he was very hungry, but the anger and resentment in his heart made it difficult for him to swallow. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
Finally, Yi Zhonghai nodded and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, I'll eat a little."
He stood up, walked to the table, sat down, picked up the chopsticks and started to pick up the food. Although his movements were a little stiff, the aunt was relieved to see that he was finally willing to eat.
Seeing this, the aunt hurriedly put down her chopsticks, gently pulled the chair, sat down steadily, and began to eat with Yi Zhonghai.
She carefully observed Yi Zhonghai's expression and paid attention to his every move, fearing that she would inadvertently touch his sensitive nerves again.
Yi Zhonghai picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it into his mouth to chew. At the same time, his brows were furrowed and his face became uglier. He complained indignantly:
"He Yuzhu is getting more and more outrageous! And He Daqing, I am the boss of this courtyard. They didn't even invite me to such a big event as a wedding. They didn't even ask me for help when greeting the leaders. They are so arrogant!"
After hearing this, the aunt sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in her tone: "Okay, Lao Yi, you know the relationship between us and the He family. How could they take the initiative to find you? Don't take it too seriously. Let's just live our own lives." As she spoke, she gently patted the back of Yi Zhonghai's hand, trying to comfort him.
Yi Zhonghai was still unhappy after hearing what the aunt said, but he couldn't say anything. He knew that he was also responsible for the situation. He sighed, shook his head, and cleared the food in the bowl.
After finishing his meal, Yi Zhonghai stood up, straightened his clothes, and decided to go out for a walk. He walked out of the room, his back looking particularly lonely under the dim light.
He was thinking about how to change the current predicament and how to re-establish his prestige in the courtyard. He took a deep breath, straightened his back, and walked into the night.
......
Yi Zhonghai walked out of the room slowly and stepped into the quiet courtyard. His steps seemed a little heavy. Under the dim light, his figure was very long and looked particularly lonely.
Suddenly, his sight met Yang Jianye and Qin Huairu who were also out for a walk. Yi Zhonghai's eyes lingered on Qin Huairu for a moment, then met Yang Jianye's eyes, and a look flashed in their eyes that only the other person could understand.
Yang Jianye nodded slightly, gestured to Yi Zhonghai, then turned to Qin Huairu beside him and said softly: "You go back first, I have something to talk to the uncle about." His voice was low and firm, revealing his unquestionable determination.
Qin Huairu was slightly stunned. She knew very well that Yi Zhonghai was not as simple as he appeared to be. She also understood that there must be something important between Yang Jianye and Yi Zhonghai.
She looked at Yi Zhonghai worriedly, but after seeing Yang Jianye's determined eyes, she chose to trust him. She nodded gently and said to Yang Jianye: "Then you should be careful, he doesn't behave like this."
Yang Jianye smiled slightly and gently patted the back of Qin Huairu's hand, his eyes full of tenderness and comfort. He said softly:
"Don't worry, I know what's going on. You go back first." His words were full of warmth and care, which slightly alleviated Qin Huairu's worries.
When Qin Huairu heard what Yang Jianye said, she nodded and said softly, "Then you be careful." After that, she turned around and slowly left, looking back at Yang Jianye and Yi Zhonghai from time to time, until her figure completely disappeared into the night.
Yang Jianye watched Qin Huairu leave before turning to look at Yi Zhonghai. He coughed lightly, breaking the brief silence, and then said, "Uncle, let's have a chat."
When Yi Zhonghai heard what Yang Jianye said, his eyebrows slightly raised, and a smile of surprise but politeness appeared on his face. He nodded, pointed to a remote corner of the yard, and said, "Okay, let's go there, there's no one there."
Yang Jianye didn't say much, just nodded, and then took the lead to walk to the corner pointed by Yi Zhonghai. His steps were steady and powerful, showing a calm temperament.
Yi Zhonghai followed closely behind, and the two walked towards the corner one after the other.
