Chapter 67 It is lucky to be able to repay (1)
Ju Nian thanked Tang Ye for giving herself a chance to repay. If you don’t have this opportunity, no matter what you owe, the so-called compensation can only be the burden of the other party. It is lucky that she can pay it back.
The phone in Tang Ye's living room seemed to ring a few times. Later, the sound of the phone was heard into the room, vaguely and unreal. Ju Nian thought of getting out of this awkward place as soon as possible, and put all her attention on the work at hand. Perhaps she could focus less on thinking about the consequences of her dog biting Lu Dongbin. Just as the completion of the work, Tang Ye walked in quickly with anxiety.
"You go right away."
When Ju Nian heard this, she blinked her eyes and said nothing, subconsciously packed up her things. She guessed that maybe another owner of the house had returned and she had to leave immediately. As for whether the other owner was a man or a woman, why she had to avoid it, she didn't want to know.
In desperation, Ju Nian quickly stuffed the scattered pieces of packaging paper box, extra cloth strips and tools into her bag. At this time, Tang Ye, who returned to the living room, seemed to hear the movement outside the door, stopping her thoughts of running out the door.
He said: "Slowly, people are already outside, you can't walk out of the door at this time..."
Ju Nian was confused when she heard this. She hesitated for a moment, gently lifted a corner of the curtain, looked out the window. She remembered correctly that the house was indeed on the eleventh floor. Putting down the curtains, she wisely chose to stand still.
"Oh!" Tang Ye seemed to sigh, and the doorbell rang without any surprise. He hurried to answer, leaving Ju Nian to stay where he was. He didn't even explain that since she shouldn't stay here, what should she do in this situation?
After the door opened and closed, Ju Nian held her breath and heard Tang Ye's voice.
"So too, and you don't say hello in advance if you come here, so I can come and pick you up." Although Tang Ye complained, his tone was low and kind at this time.
"It's not necessary now. When I really can't walk, it's not too late to carry me in a wheelchair. I'll come here today to give you something. Your father is gone, and you won't go back home there." The person who spoke was an old female voice, with a little local dialect. "Don't you like me to come? Is it really like your aunt said that you are an exclusive village, and you are only allowed to live in it yourself, and no one else can come? I told her, I don't believe it, you will still be raised by me."
Ju Nian didn't hear Tang Ye's answer. After a moment, he said, "Sit down quickly, come over from afar, I'll pour tea."
The people outside the living room seemed to have taken their seats, and Ju Nian didn't dare to show up. She shrank her hands and feet toward the blind spot of the half-closed door.
"Aye, I just changed into a new sofa cover?" After putting down the cup, the old woman's voice came again.
“It wasn’t what I ordered.”
"If you ordered it, who else..." The old man was puzzled for a while, and then said "Oh" again, "I'm so confused. Who else can I have? The girl your aunt introduced to you last time? After all, it's the young man who is careful and this material is a bit ingredient."
Even if you can't see people, Ju Nian can imagine the old man smiling when he talks. It seems that all the elders in the world are eager to get married and start a family as soon as possible. If fate goes on another path, she is happy by her parents at the moment, will there be someone talking about this concern? She also thought to herself that maybe there is really another path, and she may not be alone.
Tang Ye did not deny it. I think the girl was the one who asked Ju Nian to place an order that day. Ju Nian seemed to be able to recall some details of that day again. The woman's meticulousness and faint joy when choosing was indeed like a person who was in love.
Tang Ye's tone was speechless, "Auntie, I have told my aunt many times that a man and a woman may not be in a perfect match and must be together. The reason why I went to see that girl was really not to disappoint my aunt's pleasure and dispel her kindness, but..."
The old man interrupted Tang Ye, but, "You want to tell me the feelings of you young people, love at first sight, I don't understand these, but I have seen that girl. She is good-looking, educated, and polite. She also has that kind of thought to you. Aye, you are in your thirties. What kind of fairy should you find to be satisfied with? Your father is at your age... Forget it, let's not say it anymore. Your aunt asked me to persuade you, but you may not listen to what I said... Aye, don't blame me for talking too much. The reason why your aunt is so worried is that she heard some gossiping rumors outside, what kind of man is looking for a man, the better the conditions..."
"Nonsense!" Tang Ye's voice suddenly rose, accompanied by the sound of rattan chair feet rubbing against the wooden floor. Ju Nian was also shocked. Even a person like her who doesn't like to meddle in other people's business could not help but get a sharp ear.
"Auntie, like my aunt, you listen to something that catches the wind and shadows. There is no such thing." Tang Ye obviously understood that he had lost his composure and should not be rude in front of the old man. This time he also softened his voice a lot. "I don't like that girl because I hate others interfering in my lifestyle. I have been out several times, but I am not so familiar with her that she regards me as her own territory. She orders these sofa covers and pillows, and she doesn't even ask me."
"The girl's family also cares about you. Aye, people always have to find a companion in the world. You always play a bachelor's life, and don't talk about yourself, others..."
"Who said I don't have a companion?" Tang Ye said this very quickly. After saying it, he was silent again, as if he regretted his impulsive defense. Ju Nian couldn't help but think of the man in glasses who had always stood there that night and watched Tang Ye's car leave. His resentful eyes still made Ju Nian unable to help but chill.
"Have you found a partner by yourself?" The old man's voice returned to surprise, "What do girls do? Where is their home? Why don't you bring them out to your aunt and your aunt to see them, let us old people worry about you!"
Tang Ye did not answer immediately. He forgot that a lie must be fulfilled by countless lies. The aunt is old, but she is like his aunt, and Tang Ye is not fully imagining the object he blurted out. What about the girl? Faced with this problem, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Uh, it's not very beautiful," he said vaguely.
"We, the Tang family, can't find an ugly monster."
"Of course it's not ugly." He also spoke slowly.
"What did she do? Is her home local? Was it a colleague in your bureau or someone else introduced her? How old is she? How about her temperament?"
The questioning like a cannon obviously stumped Tang Ye all of a sudden. Ju Nian thought to herself that Han Shu said she was lying like a meal, at least not everyone could lie like her without changing her face. Tang Ye was obviously a person who was ignorant of this.
"What's the shame of your child in front of your aunt? You said, how old is that girl? What did she do?" The old man repeated the key questions again.
"Well, that... works in a fabric store, a few years younger than me."
Ju Nian blinked her eyes alone, and after her brain reacted, she was shocked as if a bolt from the blue. Even if the supreme state of lying was the ten truths mixed with the key lies,...
"I'll call your aunt. These two days are just weekends. You bring that girl out, otherwise your aunt and I will be in a hurry."
Tang Ye stopped talking again. This time his silence made Ju Nian feel like a drum. He seemed to have expected the most terrifying possibility. In a panic, she couldn't help lifting the curtains.
The 11th floor is still too high.
She should have had experience, and the worst kind of imagination in her life is often the truth. Sure enough, Tang Ye seemed to have made up his mind after a moment, and only heard him say, "Well, aunt, she, she is in the room now."
Ju Nian closed her eyes in pain at that moment.
"What?"
The moment the old man pushed the door open, Ju Nian changed his face and changed into a slightly shy smile, "I'm... Hello, aunt."
When she said this, she saw a terrified expression on Tang Ye's pale face, who was following him. Maybe he couldn't bet on Ju Nian's reaction, but this time, he bet right, Ju Nian owed him what he had.
"That... this is my aunt, my father's aunt. My aunt has been living with us, and I was raised by her." Tang Ye concealed his embarrassment.
Ju Nian quickly said, "Auntie, my name is Xie Ju Nian." This was not only an introduction to the old man, but also an introduction to a man who told a lie without even knowing her name. After she said that, she looked at her up and down the old man, then looked at Tang Ye's gap, and quickly stuffed the fabric store uniform, the orange vest, that she had just taken off the previous second, to the back of the curtains.
Next, the old man held Ju Nian's hand and sat on the sofa with kind and gossiping, and from beginning to end, Tang Ye sat quietly on the rattan chair on one side, listening to the conversation between two women, one old and one young.
