BXBX NOVEL Chapter 424 - 424: Talk Alone
According to the time, she would lose her freedom very soon. In prison, she wouldn’t even have the chance to see Jing Yao’s online videos and photos, let alone see her.
“Yaoyao, can 1 talk to you alone?”
Zhang Li said this without thinking. She spoke quickly and loudly, sounding anxious.
When the others heard her words, they were surprised at first, but it quickly turned into vigilance.
All of them frowned.
Liang Xun reacted the most drastically. He carried his son and walked to Jing Yao in a few steps, as if he was afraid that Zhang Li would do something to Jing Yao if he walked slower.
In fact, Zhang Li couldn’t hurt Jing Yao at all.
Besides, she only felt guilty towards Jing Yao now and wouldn’t do anything to hurt her.
However, with Zhang Li’s personality, she might be able to hurt people unknowingly.
Zhang Li was very anxious when she spoke. After saying that and seeing everyone’s reaction, she knew that she was still too impulsive.
She only said that in a hurry because she thought that she probably wouldn’t see Jing Yao again in the future.
Jing Yao was also a little surprised. She had no feelings for Zhang Li now, neither hatred nor love.
Hatred was also a very tiring thing, so she rarely reminded herself of Zhang Li and what happened in the Jing Family.
This time, she agreed to meet Zhang Li only because she thought of Grandpa and Uncle.
Although Grandpa criticized her uncle, Jing Yao knew that he must still love her daughter very much. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so sad about Zhang Li.
Zhang Li looked a few years older than the last time they met.
Jing Yao patted Liang Xun’s arm, telling him not to react so strongly.
Then, she stood up from behind Liang Xun and looked at Zhang Li. She said expressionlessly, “Alright, let’s talk outside.”
Jing Yao took the initiative to go out. Zhang Li was so excited that her hands were trembling slightly. She looked at Jing Yao with tears in her eyes.
The others looked even more nervous.
Liang Xun looked at Jing Yao. Seeing Jing Yao’s calm expression, he didn’t say anything else to persuade her.
He just walked to Yu He and handed his son to her, asking her to carry him for a while. Then, he walked back to Jing Yao, held her hand, and said to Zhang Li, “Let’s go.”
Zhang Li was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jing Yao awkwardly.
To be honest, Jing Yao couldn’t help but think of the past when she saw Zhang Li.
When Zhang Li said that she wanted to talk to her alone, Jing Yao’s first reaction was to reject her, but she still agreed when she saw Zhang Li’s gaze.
No matter what Zhang Li wanted to say, this was the last time.
Liang Xun’s actions made things difficult for Zhang Li, but Jing Yao heaved a sigh of relief.
When she was young, she was most afraid of Zhang Li. When she saw Zhang Li, it felt like seeing a poisonous snake after being bitten by one.
She was still a little afraid to face Zhang Li alone.
Even though she knew that Zhang Li could not hurt her, she was still afraid.
Even though Zhang Li did not want Liang Xun to follow her, she did not dare to object and left first.
Zhang Hui’s house was quite old. This could be seen from the flowers and trees in the courtyard. The trees here had been planted for decades.
They were thick and lush.
Zhang Hui did not like anything too exquisite, so although he hired a gardener, he would at most get him to remove the weeds and cut the branches that blocked the way.
This courtyard looked messy compared to the exquisite gardens of many rich families.
However, such a mess did not make people feel ugly. Instead, it was more natural and beautiful.
Jing Yao and the other two walked in the courtyard one after another without saying a word.
Jing Yao looked around the courtyard casually and suddenly saw a blue eucalyptus that was growing well. She asked Liang Xun in surprise, “Can the blue eucalyptus planted here live?”
Liang Xun looked at the tree. Compared to the other trees around it, the blue eucalyptus was not tall, but he could tell that the owner cared about this tree very much.
There was a lot of empty space around it. There were no other trees planted closely. Clearly, they were afraid that the nutrition of the blue eucalyptus would be snatched away by other trees.
The blue eucalyptus only grew in some places in the south of the country. It was usually inhabitable in Lin City.
“It’s probably transplanted from the south at a high price. It took a lot of effort to maintain it,” Liang Xun said.
Jing Yao nodded and thought that Grandpa probably liked blue eucalyptus. After all, she had heard him say that he used to stay in the army in the south..
