At night, everyone is asleep.

He Jiarui was lying on the bed suffering from insomnia, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She was thinking about Fu Chengyu and Yuan Zheng, which made her upset.

With a "crash", she lifted the quilt and sat up. Look at the time, it's already past one o'clock.

Since you can't sleep, let's have a drink. With this in mind, she got out of bed and left the room.

He tiptoed to the wine cabinet and turned on the light.

Unexpectedly, under the light, Yuan Zheng was standing by the window, holding a red wine glass in his hand.

Now, this dazzling light startled him. He squinted his eyes for a few seconds, saw it was her, and asked doubtfully: "Why are you here if you don't want to sleep?"

He Jiarui stared at the wine glass in his hand, refraining from asking him, and not wanting to talk to him. She walked to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of wine.

Yuan Zheng saw that she was ignoring him, so he didn't say much and just drank and poured wine.

He Jiarui unscrewed the wine, then took a red wine glass and left.

Yuan Zheng heard the voice behind him and turned his head to take a look, only to see her leaving.

He let out a breath, the worry on his face getting heavier.

He Jiarui returned to the room, feeling angry. Everyone was worried about him because of his illness. He actually stayed up most of the night and drank secretly!

She didn't care, but she couldn't let her second brother worry about him.

She stood up again, thought about it, and sat back down.

She took her cell phone and sent a voice call to He Jinnan. It rang several times and was hung up.

Immediately, He Jinnan sent a voice, low and angry: "What are you doing up so late at night? Let's talk about it tomorrow!"

"Brother, Yuan Zheng is secretly drinking at the bar." She boldly sent the message.

He Jiarui put down the phone and ran to the door again, secretly listening to what was going on outside. More than ten minutes later, there was indeed a sound outside, but soon, the sound came towards him again, and soon there was a knock on the door.

He Jinnan stood at the door with a dark face and asked with a dark face, "Are you sleepwalking? Where is Yuan Zheng?"

"Ah? No? Impossible! I just went over and saw him clearly!" He Jiarui said in surprise, "Brother, look at the surveillance."

"Where can I watch the surveillance?" He Jinnan rolled his eyes at her, then saw the red wine bottle in her room, then walked in and picked it up.

He asked: "What's going on with you? I think you're the one secretly drinking, right?"

He Jiarui was caught in action and hesitantly said: "I have insomnia, and I was thinking that drinking some wine would help me fall asleep faster."

"If you can't sleep, count sheep. What kind of wine should you drink?" He Jinnan slapped her on the head and went out with the wine.

He Jiarui felt that he had really stolen the chicken but lost the rice. This cunning Yuan Zheng must have guessed what he was thinking!

Alas, I ran out of wine and had to count sheep. He Jiarui covered his head with a quilt.

He Jinnan sent the wine back to the kitchen and went to Yuan Zheng's room.

With the light on, Yuan Zheng leaned on the bedside with his hands behind his head. Seeing him come in, he gloated and asked, "Confiscated?"

He Jinnan walked to his bedside and said, "Do you still want to drink? I'll get her bottle for you."

Yuan Zheng smiled and shook his head, "I don't want to drink any more. That's fine."

"Second brother, thank you."

He Jinnan said: "I know you are upset, so just drink. Your family affairs will be over, and your illness will be cured. Okay, it's getting late, so you should go to bed early."

"Second brother," he suddenly called He Jinnan again and hesitated, "I want to terminate the engagement between Ruirui and I now. Don't wait until my family is in trouble before we separate. I'm afraid that your He family will be criticized."

He Jinnan said: "I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of? I know you don't want to drag her down and want to do her best. Don't think so much now. Let's do our best to deal with your family's affairs. We won't talk about it until it doesn't work."

Yuan Zheng said: "If Ruirui was alone, I would definitely not mention it. But she has someone in her heart now, so I will let it go. I don't want to burden her."

He said, taking a deep breath, "I have learned about Fu Chengyu. He is very good. There are no messy scandals. The Fu family has a big business. Ruirui will not suffer from him."

"You," He Jiarui sighed deeply, "let's say you are heartless. Now you are thinking about this and that, and you are very preoccupied. Let's say you think too much. Sometimes you don't get along with Ruirui."

"Don't all people grow up slowly after setbacks? Ruirui can't wait and can't accompany me, so I'll do it by myself." Maybe the dark night can make people emotional, Yuan Zheng said bitterly.

He Jinnan patted him on the shoulder and said, "The old man in the family has the final say about the engagement. Don't think about it now. I know you feel uncomfortable when Ruirui and Fu Chengyu get close. Do you want to make them happy? I haven't spoken yet. , you should be the master of them both first. Stop talking about it in the future, I don’t like to hear it."

Yuan Zheng was deeply moved by his second brother's support for him. He looked at him deeply and felt that everything was gone.

"Go to sleep, I'm going to sleep too." After He Jinnan said that, he turned around and went out.

The night passed in a noisy manner.

He Jiarui didn't drink any wine and counted sheep in bed for two hours before falling asleep in a daze.

In the morning, when Xuan Zai came to wake her up for dinner, she was still awake.

I didn't sleep well and had dark circles under my eyes. She went to the restaurant, sat down, glanced at her second brother first, then glared at Yuan Zheng, and then lowered her head to drink porridge.

Xia Zhi said from the side: "Ruirui, do you have anything to do today? If nothing happens, let's go out for a walk?"

"Okay, it's okay." He Jiarui said weakly, "But I have to catch up on some sleep later, otherwise I won't be energetic."

"it is good."

Just after breakfast, He Jiarui's cell phone rang. It was her aunt.

"Ruirui, tidy up. Come downstairs in half an hour and wait for me at the gate of the community."

He Jiarui asked: "Auntie, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

"You still have a role today. The director said that your performance is very good and beautiful, and fits the role of a favored concubine. He doesn't plan to use anyone else, so he will use you."

"Ah?" He Jiarui was a little reluctant, "Aunt, can I refuse? I don't really want to act."

"I see that you were quite immersed in it yesterday." He Huizhu said, "There are more lines today. Come and take a look."

He Jiarui hesitated for a moment, "Okay then."

After hanging up the phone, she said to Xia Zhi: "Sister-in-law, I can't accompany you for a stroll. My aunt asked me to act in a play."

"Really?" Xia Zhi quite supported her, "Then He Guiren must act well."

He Jinnan was not very happy, "Are there no actors? What's going on with my aunt? Now she's planning on you?"

"My aunt said that I am very spiritual in acting and can develop well." He Jiarui said proudly.

He Jinnan turned his back and smiled silently. It would depend on whether he would answer or not.
