Chapter 309 I can help you
Just then, Chen Yan walked over with heavy steps, his brows furrowed, his eyes revealing dissatisfaction and blame.
He looked directly at Ling Jiuan, with a hint of surprise in his tone.
"Ling Jiuan, you are so confused! This... what happened between Lei Tingyi and that Miss Yu is no different from having sex with her and then abandoning her. How could you indulge him like this?"
Ling Jiuan's expression was startled. She knew Chen Yan's character very well, but this matter was too complicated to be explained in one sentence.
She was about to explain when Pei Ling gently pulled her sleeve.
Pei Ling said in a soft but firm voice.
"Jiuan, don't bother with Chen Yan about this. Miss Yu has been with us all the way. Chen Yan has seen all the suffering she has endured, so naturally he feels a little distressed."
Chen Yan's expression remained grim. He snorted and said.
"Shouldn't she? She's a girl, and she grew up with Lei Tingyi as a childhood sweetheart, but now..."
"She's eighteen years older than me. How can I grow up with her?"
Lei Tingyi interrupted Chen Yan calmly, his eyes calm and deep, as if he could see through all the illusions.
Chen Yan's face froze when he heard this, and he was obviously surprised by this sudden information.
"Eighteen years older? How...how is this possible?"
Lei Tingyi sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"Indeed, there was talk of an engagement in the early years. But the Yu family has been trying to arrange marriages with other big families in the past few years, so the engagement has long been in name only. The relationship between Miss Yu and I is more based on old friendship and family considerations, rather than true mutual affection."
Seeing this, Ling Jiuan interrupted at the right time.
"Chen Yan, you don't know. This is a complicated matter that cannot be explained in one sentence. We need to analyze it calmly and not make mistakes due to impulse."
Pei Ling also echoed.
"Yes, Chen Yan, please listen to Lei Tingyi's explanation and don't jump to conclusions."
After listening to everyone's advice, Chen Yan's expression gradually eased, but the doubts in his heart did not completely dissipate.
He was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, indicating that he was willing to temporarily put aside his prejudices and face the current difficulties together.
The atmosphere between the four people gradually eased.
After a long time, Chen Yan slowly let out a long breath. There was still some reluctance and worry in his eyes, but his tone was not as sharp as before.
"Ling Jiuan, do you really trust Lei Tingyi so much? Aren't you afraid that he will deceive you? People's hearts are hard to predict, let alone disputes involving power and interests."
Ling Jiuan smiled gently, her eyes were firm and warm, as if they could illuminate the haze in people's hearts.
"Chen Yan, you and I have known each other for many years, you should know my character. Although I am not a wise man, I am not so stupid. I believe in Lei Tingyi, not only because of our friendship, but also because I know him. If he really wanted to lie to me, he would not have waited until today."
Pei Ling nodded gently, her voice soft and full of understanding.
"Yes, Chen Yan, Jiuan has always been thoughtful and can judge people very accurately. Moreover, if Lei Tingyi really had ulterior motives, we would not be unaware of it. Now that we have chosen to face it together, we should trust each other and overcome the difficulties together."
When Lei Tingyi heard this, a warm feeling surged in his heart.
He looked at Ling Jiuan, his eyes full of gratitude and determination.
"Jiuan, your trust is my greatest motivation. I, Lei Tingyi, swear here that no matter how bumpy the road ahead is, I will never let you down, and I will never let anyone hurt you and our friends."
Chen Yan looked at the determined eyes of the three people, and the doubts in his heart gradually dissipated.
He took a deep breath, as if to absorb all the anxiety and hesitation into his chest, and then slowly exhaled, turning it into a firm force.
"Okay, since you are all so determined, then I, Chen Yan, am willing to fight alongside you. No matter what the future holds, we will shoulder the responsibility and face it together."
Seeing Chen Yan's unhappy face and furrowed brows, as if he had endless worries in his heart, Pei Ling couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart.
She gently tugged at Chen Yan's sleeve, her voice gentle and full of concern. "Chen Yan, stop worrying. Since we have decided to face it together, we should trust each other and believe that we can overcome all difficulties."
Chen Yan felt Pei Ling's tenderness, and his expression eased a little, but his brows still revealed an unspeakable worry.
"Pei Ling, it's not that I don't trust you all, it's just that this matter is too complicated, and the interests and power involved are too great. I'm afraid that if we're not careful, we'll end up in an irretrievable situation."
Upon hearing this, Pei Ling gently held Chen Yan's hand, her eyes full of determination and encouragement.
"Chen Yan, have you forgotten? We have always faced difficulties together. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, as long as we are united, nothing can stop us. Moreover, Lei Tingyi and Jiuan are not the kind of people who will give up easily. Since they have chosen this path, they must have their reasons and confidence."
Chen Yan felt the warmth in Pei Ling's palm, and the worries in his heart gradually dissipated.
"Thank you, Pei Ling. You always give me strength when I need it most. You are right, we should not be intimidated by difficulties. As long as we unite as one, nothing can stop us from moving forward."
After saying that, Chen Yan took a deep breath, as if he wanted to absorb all his courage and strength into his chest.
He looked at the other three, his eyes full of determination.
"Okay, now that we have decided to face it together, let us work together to overcome all difficulties and meet the challenges of the future!"
Chen Yan returned to his guest room with heavy steps, still thinking about the conversation just now.
As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Yu Lingxi standing in the moonlight. His figure looked a little lonely, and he couldn't help feeling a little confused.
He walked forward and asked softly.
"Miss Yu, what's wrong? Why aren't you resting so late?"
Yu Lingxi turned around and a faint smile appeared on her face, which looked particularly gentle under the moonlight.
"Chen Yan, I have something to tell you."
Chen Yan's heart trembled, not knowing why Yu Lingxi was looking for him at this time, but he still responded politely.
"Miss Yu, please speak."
Yu Lingxi smiled, with an inexplicable light flashing in her eyes.
"Chen Yan, you like Ling Jiuan, right? I can help you get her."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Yan couldn't help but frown, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.
He looked at Yu Lingxi, his tone filled with confusion and vigilance.
"What do you mean, Miss Yu? Jiuan and I are friends. Our relationship is not what you think."
Yu Lingxi shook her head slightly, as if she didn't care about Chen Yan's explanation.
"Chen Yan, you don't have to hide it. I know your feelings for Jiuan, and I understand your concerns. However, sometimes things like feelings require some help. As long as you are willing, I can help you."
