Although her heart still liked him very much.
At lunch, Ye Wan loaded twenty thousand yuan onto her meal card. Previously, Jiang Yan would always rush to pay, but now it was Ye Wan who insisted.
After buying two meals, they found a place to sit. Ye Wan looked at her sullen expression and asked, "Things still aren't resolved, are they?"
"It's almost there, just waiting for the court date," Jiang Yan said. She was currently short on cash and too ashamed to approach the victims' families for letters of understanding, which made her feel very anxious.
Then there was Chu Yu's matter. She didn't want to think about him right now. If she were still thinking about her own romantic entanglements at this time, she would truly be out of line.
She had already blocked Chu Yu's contact information, so she didn't know if he had tried to reach her.
"Letters of understanding..."
Jiang Yan shook her head dejectedly. The lawyer had said that the sentencing would differ greatly with or without letters of understanding. Without them, her father might be sentenced to twenty years or life imprisonment. If she obtained all the letters, the sentence might be less than ten years.
"I have money, I'll give you all my money," Ye Wan said, picking up her phone to contact Lin Zehan. She wanted to sell all the shares Lin Zehan had given her.
Jiang Yan quickly grabbed her hand and shook her head. "Let's eat first. I'll figure out the money myself. Don't worry about it. You just take good care of Ye Cheng."
Jiang Yan now understood that Ye Cheng was Ye Wan's life. If Ye Cheng lived, she lived; if Ye Cheng couldn't survive, she wouldn't either.
"Those things are useless to me," Ye Wan said. She had kept them because of Lin Feiwei; Lin Feiwei had crossed her bottom line, and she had to make her pay.
"How can they be useless? You can keep them as your dowry later; they're your leverage."
"My leverage is myself, and... I don't want to get married," Ye Wan said softly.
"Alright, let's eat first."
After lunch, Jiang Yan packed a meal to take home to her mother. Jiang's mother hadn't fully recovered after being discharged from the hospital and still had some difficulty moving around. This was why Jiang Yan hadn't been able to go talk to the victims' families about letters of understanding.
But she felt extremely anxious. This matter was like a huge stone pressing on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.
When she returned home at noon, Jiang Yan saw Chu Yu. He was pacing in front of her rented apartment. When he saw her, he walked over. "Yan Yan, you're back. Can we talk?"
"My mother hasn't eaten yet. I need to bring her food and make sure she gets back to school this afternoon," Jiang Yan said indifferently.
"I can accompany you to take care of your mother," Chu Yu immediately assured her.
"Chu Yu, your mother doesn't like me, does she? She doesn't want us to be together, right? Let's part ways amicably," Jiang Yan felt as if her heart had gone numb, numb from pain. She didn't want to face this repeatedly; it was best to resolve it all at once.
"My mother doesn't dislike you," Chu Yu quickly explained.
"She doesn't? Then you can go back and ask her now." Jiang Yan wasn't stupid. The first time she met Chu Yu's mother, she knew she didn't like her. Now that Jiang Yan was bankrupt and even in debt, she believed Madam Chu would tolerate her even less.
"Yan Yan, I know I didn't help with your family's situation this time, and it's only right that you're angry with me. But please, don't push me away. Let's face whatever comes together," Chu Yu reached out to grab her.
