Obsession’s Edge

Chapter 2

When Jian Yishi said this, she glanced coldly at Zhang Qianhua next to Lin Jinse, her eyes sharp and cold to the bone.

Lin Jinse knew that Jian Yi had a bad attitude toward his aunt, but he didn't expect it to be so bad. He looked at her like an enemy, which made people shudder.

The smile in Zhang Qianhua's eyes did not diminish at all. Just as she was about to speak, Jian Lanyi frowned and scolded: "What is your attitude? You can't speak well?!"

Jian Yi sneered and said in a nonchalant tone: "Sorry, I really don't know how! If you want to blame me, it's your fault. You never taught me how to speak well!"

Jian Lanyi was so angry that the veins on her forehead popped out, she pointed her finger at him and cursed: "You bastard!"

"Okay, Lan Yi, you still blame your son for not talking well, but you talk well again?" Zhang Qianhua pulled off Jian Lanyi's arm and said, "Ah Shi, Wen Tao, Xiao Zhu, Yang Yang, you go take a bath, change your clothes, and come down later to have dinner together."

Jian Yishi snorted coldly, took a step forward, and went upstairs first. Luo Wentao and the others smiled at Zhang Qianhua, nodded and said "I understand", then said hello to Jian Lanyi, and followed Jian Yishi up the stairs.

Jian Lanyi put his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly, and looked at the backs of the four teenagers, the anger in his eyebrows still not gone.

"Forget it, a boy of seventeen or eighteen is the time to be rebellious. No matter what his parents say, they will contradict him. Why bother getting angry with him." Zhang Qianhua advised softly.

"I don't want to either, but I can't control myself when I see his bastard look. I've wronged you too, for so many years..." Jian Lanyi looked away, looked at Zhang Qianhua, and held her hand. He wanted to say a few more words to comfort her, but suddenly remembered that Lin Jinse was beside him, and immediately let go of his hand.

Jian Lanyi turned his head and looked at Lin Jinse with his head slightly lowered, his gentle and obedient look, and his voice was very soft, "Jinse, I made you laugh. Ignore that bastard from now on. If he dares to bully you, you must tell me. I will not let him off lightly."

Lin Jinse shook her head, raised her eyes to look at Jian Lanyi, and said softly: "No, actually I'm quite envious."

At least you are still by each other's side, and you can still quarrel and get angry as much as you want, which is already a very happy thing.

Jian Lanyi was confused for a moment, then understood the meaning of her words, and couldn't help but feel pity. He raised his hand and touched her head, "Xiao Jin, this will be your home from now on, and your aunt and I are your relatives."

Zhang Qianhua also stepped forward and hugged Lin Jinse into her arms.

In the past half month, in order not to worry or dislike Grandpa, Lin Jinse has always endured her grief, being obedient and sensible, neither crying nor making trouble, and as strong as an invulnerable female warrior.

But at this time, her grandfather was not around, and she no longer had to pretend to be herself. The grief that had been accumulated for ten days could no longer be suppressed and surged out. Her eyes quickly turned red, and she almost burst into tears, but she bit her lower lip tightly and still held it back.

Jian Yi forgot a piece of clothing in the living room. He went back to get it and saw this scene accidentally.

What a scene of family reunion, happiness and warmth!

Jian Yishi looked at her expressionlessly, turned around and left.

More than an hour later, Aunt Chen came to the door of the multi-purpose room on the third floor, knocked on the door, and shouted: "Ah Shi, come down for dinner."

Aunt Chen has been working as a nanny at Jian Yishi's house for twelve years. She knows her young master's temperament best. He has a serious mysophobia. When his friends come over to play, they usually stay in this multi-purpose room, and occasionally in the study, and they can't be in his room.

In the room, Luo Wentao's eyes lit up, and while controlling the game controller, he shouted back: "Aunt Chen, I got it, we'll come down right away."

When Aunt Chen heard this, she left first.

Luo Wentao had long lost interest in playing live games. He threw away the controller, turned to face Jian Yi behind and said with a grin, "Ah Shi, Aunt Chen has called for dinner."

Jian Yishi was leaning on the sofa, with her long legs spread out, holding her mobile phone in her hand, focusing on playing a fencing game, without even raising her eyelids, and ignored him.

Luo Wentao simply got up and walked to the sofa in a few steps, squatted down, like a puppy wagging its tail to please, "Ah Shi, let's go, let's go eat, I'm so hungry."

"I think you're not hungry, you're just greedy." Hou Jian won another round and was in a good mood. He put down the controller and turned to wink at Luo Wentao.

Luo Wentao was honest and frank: "Everyone has a love for beauty. Who can not love my sister who is like a fairy? Who doesn't want to get close to her..." From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Yang Yang dozing on the other side of the sofa. He became jealous and deliberately raised his voice and shouted, "Don't you think so, Yang Yang?"

Yang Yang was suddenly "called on", and reflexively stood up and shouted: "Report to the teacher, I..."

Luo Wentao and Hou Zhen burst into laughter. Yang Yang was stunned for a moment before he realized that he was at Jian Yishi's home, not in the school classroom.

He leaned down again, closed his eyes, and muttered, "Boring!"

"Lazy, I'm asking you, what do you think of the sister from Ah Shi's house? Is she as beautiful as a fairy?" Luo Wentao walked up to Yang Yang and nudged Yang Yang with his elbow.

Yang Yang then opened his eyes and sat up straight, feeling a little shy for no reason, "She does look like a fairy."

Luo Wentao patted Yang Yang's thigh hard and gave him a thumbs up, "You are as discerning as my brother, Monkey, tell me, honestly, is Sister Jinse beautiful or not?"

When Hou Shi glanced at Jian Yi, he knew that Jian Yi must hate Lin Jinse because of Zhang Qianhua, but he was not such an unprincipled person, and he couldn't speak against his conscience. He pondered for a while and said: "Only in terms of appearance, it's not bad."

Luo Wentao was extremely satisfied and gave him a thumbs up. Then he came close to Jian Yishi and said, "Ah Shi, let's go to admire the beauty of the fairy sister and have a meal by the way."

Jian Yishi finally raised her eyelids, looked at him, and uttered two words coldly: "Idiot."

Luo Wentao still had a playful smile on his face, "If you eat for free, you can eat for free. For Sister Fairy, I come to your house every day to eat for free."

Jian Yishi rolled her eyes and kicked him, "Get out of here and eat for free!"

"Aren't you going?" Hou asked.

"I don't want to go, your fairy sister is off-putting to me." Jian Yishi bit the "fairy sister" very hard. He kept moving his hands and started a new fencing game.

Luo Wentao stood up immediately, "OK, OK, then we will bring you some of your favorite food."

With that said, he dragged Yang Yang up and pushed Hou Ju out of the house.

"Is there something wrong with Brother Shi? He actually said that Fairy Sister is unappetizing..." Luo Wentao lowered his voice.

Hou Fang shouted at the top of his lungs: "Brother Shi, Stinky Taotao wants to ask you..."

Luo Wentao quickly covered Hou Feng's mouth, "Brother, Brother Fang, I was wrong, please stop yelling, okay?"

"Okay, as long as the hush money is paid..."

"Yes, the listener has a share in the hush money."

The three of them went downstairs, noisily.

In the spacious restaurant, Jian Lanyi, Zhang Qianhua and Lin Jinse sat around a mahogany round table. The table was filled with various delicacies and the aroma was fragrant. Seeing Luo Wentao and three young men approaching, Jian Lanyi frowned and said, "Where is Ah Shi?"

Luo Wentao said hurriedly: "Ah Shi said he's not hungry yet, so he asked us to bring some up to him later."

Jian Lanyi frowned even more tightly and said nothing.

The Luo, Hou, and Yang families had some business dealings with the Jian family. They had often come to Jian Yishi's house since they were young. They followed Jian Yishi around and became very familiar with Jian Lanyi.

But they were still afraid of Jian Lanyi from the bottom of their hearts, especially when they were children. One time when Jian Yi got into trouble, she was tied to a tree and beaten to death by Jian Lanyi. Every time they thought about it, they were frightened and their legs shook unconsciously.

Seeing that they were a little nervous, Zhang Qianhua quickly smiled and said: "Wen Tao, what are you doing standing there in a daze? Come sit down and eat."

Jian Lanyi softened his expression and nodded towards them, "Sit down and eat quickly."

Luo Wentao and the other three were relieved and quickly sat down opposite Lin Jinse.

"As for that brat, if you don't come down to eat, don't eat it. Don't bring it to him." Jian Lanyi's tone was light, but there was an undeniable pressure.

Luo Wentao and the other three had just picked up their chopsticks. After hearing this, they looked at each other and put down their chopsticks at the same time.

Zhang Qianhua frowned. The father and son had exactly the same stubborn temper. She persuaded him: "Ah Shi is just growing up. How can he withstand hunger? Or..."

"I couldn't stand being hungry so I came down to eat. The whole family is eating here, what's so special about him!" Jian Lanyi frowned and said, turning her head to look at Zhang Qianhua and softening her voice: "You, please don't spoil him."

Zhang Qianhua sighed softly and said nothing more. She knew Jian Lanyi's temperament, which was arbitrary and stubborn like an ox.

The atmosphere was too depressing and depressing. Lin Jinse was determined to help Zhang Qianhua and looked at Jian Lanyi: "Uncle, Ah Shi may be feeling uncomfortable. How about I send him some?"

It was a bit long to speak in one breath. After Lin Jinse finished speaking, his throat was slightly itchy and he couldn't help but tilt his head and cough twice.

Her voice was originally sweet and soft, and because she was sick, her breath was weak and her voice was soft, it made her even more pitiful. How could Jian Lanyi be so hard-hearted?

His sharp eyes softened, "Yes, of course."

He thought for a while and then said: "How about we let Wen Tao and the others send it up? You are still sick, so just sit down and eat well."

Jian Lanyi was mainly worried that his bastard would not accept Lin Jinse's favor and would scorn her and embarrass her. And based on his understanding of his son, that bastard would definitely do it!

Lin Jinse thought that although the goal had been achieved, it would be too insincere to just throw it away to others, so he said, "Then I'll go with Wen Tao."

Jian Lanyi was very happy. It seemed that Xiao Jin wanted to have a good relationship with Ah Shi. She was such a good girl. She smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Luo Wentao was so happy that he almost jumped out of his seat. Wow, he could walk side by side with the fairy sister and talk to her. It was such a blessing.

Aunt Chen brought the food box over, and Luo Wentao and the other three helped pick out a few Jianyi favorite dishes and put them in the food box.

Lin Jinse was about to pick up the food box. Luo Wentao quickly helped to carry it, and Lin Jinse handed it to him.

The two of them went upstairs one after the other.

"Sister, fairy sister, can I call you that?" Luo Wentao waited until he was out of everyone's sight, and quickly took the time to get close to Lin Jinse.

Lin Jinse was stunned for a moment. She didn't like this title very well. She didn't know when people started calling her and describing her like this, but she didn't like it.

She is just an ordinary girl. What she longs for is the life of ordinary people, rather than being a cold and aloof fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world.

Although she didn't like it, Lin Jinse was still very gentle and her voice was soft: "Thank you, but I'm not a fairy. Please don't call me that."

Luo Wentao was stung, but he was thick-skinned and continued to say with a playful smile: "Then I'll call you Sister Jinse, is that okay?"

Lin Jinse nodded this time, "Okay."

Luo Wentao asked again: "Sister, have you gone to college? Where?"

"South Dance."

"No wonder my sister has such a good temperament. She turns out to be a dancer." Luo Wentao's expression was sincere. He was truly a compliment from the bottom of his heart, not a flattery.

Lin Jinse smiled lightly and said nothing.

"Sister, are you a sophomore?"

"It's my senior year."

"Sister, you are only two years older than us, why are you four years older?"

"I skipped the grade."

"Wow, sister is not only so beautiful, she looks like a fairy, but she is also a top student!" Luo Wentao couldn't control his volume for a while, and it got a little louder. When he noticed it, he immediately covered his mouth.

Lin Jinse was amused by his exaggerated expressions and movements and slightly curved her lips. Her clear and moist eyebrows were stained with a little smile, but she inadvertently met a pair of cold and cold eyes.

Directly above them, Jian Yishi bowed his back slightly, clasping his hands and pressing his elbows on the railing, looking down at them, his whole body exuding a cold air, and his pair of narrow and beautiful eyes had no warmth.

Luo Wentao also felt a chill on his back. He followed Lin Jinse's gaze and turned his head. When he saw Jian Yi, he jumped up the stairs and jumped in front of him, "Ah Shi, you know we are here to bring you delicious food, so come out to greet us."

Jian Yi didn't speak, she just looked at Lin Jinse coldly, her eyes full of warning, stay away from me, as if she was some filthy thing.

Lin Jinse twitched the corners of her lips and smiled at him, "I'll go down first."

When Luo Wentao saw the unfriendly look in Jian Yi's eyes, he hurriedly put in a good word for Lin Jinse, "Ah Shi, you don't know a good person's heart. If it weren't for sister Jinse, you wouldn't have anything to eat..."

Luo Wentao briefly narrated the matter, "How wonderful the fairy sister is. Please stop bullying our fairy sister in the future!"

Luo Wentao felt that Lin Jinse's appearance and temperament meant that she was a fairy that could only be found in heaven. Only the term "fairy sister" could match her. Regardless of whether she accepted it or not, he wanted to call her "fairy sister" in private anyway.

Jian Yi sneered coldly: "What kind of fairy sister is she? She's just a scheming girl."

As soon as Lin Jinse walked to the second floor, the conversation between the two people upstairs was loud, and she could hear every word clearly.

Lin Jinse paused slightly, but didn't care in her heart.

Inexplicably, although Lin Jinse knew that he should hate her, she was not angry or disliked him.

Who let him have the shadow of Jinnian?
