Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 230 The down-and-out young man

Hearing Jiaorou's question, Daiyu hesitated for a moment, then slowly stood up with a faint smile on her face. She introduced her softly,

"Sister, this is my cousin from my mother's side."

As she spoke, she gently pointed her slender finger at Baoyu, and her eyes fell on him.

Upon hearing this, Jiaorou quickly stood up, her movements light and graceful, a sweet smile on her lips, and she bowed to Baoyu and said:

"Thank you for your courtesy, sir. I'm sorry for offending you just now. I hope you can forgive me."

Seeing this, Baoyu couldn't just sit there any longer, so he quickly stood up and returned the greeting.

He just nodded slightly, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly, outlining a shallow arc, as a response to the gentle greeting.

However, at the moment he lowered his head, the spiritual jade hanging around his neck suddenly shook a few times, making a slight sound.

Seeing this, Jiao Rou suddenly had a flash of inspiration in her mind, as if she remembered something important. Her eyes suddenly lit up, a surprised smile bloomed on her face, and she blurted out:

"Oh my, I remember now!

So you are the young man who was born with jade in his mouth!

I have heard of your great name for a long time!"

Seeing that the topic was going off topic, Daiyu was afraid of neglecting Baoyu, so she quickly interrupted with a smile:

"Okay, okay, let's stop talking. The food on the table is getting cold. Let's eat quickly!"

After saying that, she took the lead and walked to the dining table and sat down, her eyes falling on Baoyu.

When he thought about what he had just said about the sisters in the Jia family either dying or leaving, he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable, but he couldn't ask her in detail in front of Jiao Rou.

Just when Daiyu was feeling depressed, Jiaorou suddenly cried out "Ouch".

She was seen holding her stomach and sweating all over her face. Daiyu was frightened and hurried over to ask her what was wrong.

Jiaorou grabbed Daiyu and said she wanted to go to the inner room to talk.

Daiyu could only smile and tell Baoyu: "Brother, I will be out right away."

After arriving at the inner room, Jiaorou immediately changed into a different person. She stared at Daiyu and whispered:

"Why did you let him into your boudoir?

You are a concubine, you must avoid suspicion!"

Daiyu grabbed her and said in a low voice:

"Someone in his family has died or passed away, and he doesn't have the ability to handle it on his own, but he just wants to come and vent his tears!"

Before Daiyu finished speaking, Jiaorou also sighed, and they both fell silent.

Jiaorou said:

"Go out, I'm going back to my room. Don't let the eldest lady and the others know about this!"

However, when Jiaorou and the others left, the room was already empty.

Daiyu was anxious and shouted, "Brother, brother, where are you?"

Unexpectedly, Xiaoling suddenly ran in and said anxiously, "That young man with the jade, he went to the door with tears on his face."

When Daiyu heard this, she could no longer care about anything else. She put on a padded jacket, picked up some jewelry and ran out.

Jiao Rou was so anxious that she called out from behind, "Yu Er, go slower, be careful of the baby in your belly!"

Daiyu had no idea what they were saying. When she returned home that time, she knew that their lives were difficult.

If Baoyu hadn't been feeling so upset today, with his ambition, why would he have come to find me!

Just when she was jogging halfway, suddenly, a pebble as big as an egg appeared in the middle of the road.

Caught off guard, she almost tripped over the stone and fell to the ground.

When she finally managed to steady herself and looked carefully, she realized that it was just an inconspicuous pebble.

After calming herself down a bit, she continued to walk forward.

Not long after walking, he saw Baoyu standing in front of a small gate not far away. It seemed that he had been waiting there for a long time.

From afar, I could only see the elegant young man who was once the most beloved person.

Although he still looked as handsome as ever, for some reason, his innate aura seemed to have gradually disappeared with the passage of time.

Seeing this, Daiyu ran to Baoyu in a hurry and asked him impatiently:

"Where did you go?"

However, what she did not expect was that Baoyu suddenly swung his fist and smashed it hard at the big tree next to him.

There was only a muffled "bang" sound, followed by Baoyu saying with great sorrow:

“Everyone is avoiding me now.

They all hid far away, fearing that I would ask them to help my father submit a petition!

Those servants and uncles who usually have close relations with the mansion, even more so, treated me as if I were the plague god and avoided me!

I begged people everywhere, begged them in a humble manner, almost ran my legs off, and talked my mouth off, but in the end I got nothing.

I thought I could look at you quietly here and feel a little comforted, but I never thought that even you..."

Before she could finish her words, Daiyu burst into tears.

She sobbed and cried, "Brother Bao, how can I help you?

The prince is currently stationed at the border, out of reach;

I am just a weak woman, powerless, who can I ask for help?"

Baoyu, as he did in the past, gently wiped the crystal clear tears from the corners of her eyes with his sleeves.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a wry smile, and he said softly:

"Don't cry, Pin'er, we can still live in the mansion.

I can no longer just hang out with women like I did before!"

At this moment, when Daiyu heard Baoyu affectionately call her "Pin'er", the longing in her heart instantly surged out like a flood.

Tears rolled down like beads with broken strings, and her crying became more and more sad.

Baoyu patted her shoulder gently and said softly, "My dear sister, don't cry.

I'm leaving now, I'm going out to start a career! Wait for me to come back!" Baoyu said, looking at her belly meaningfully, and said with a smile:

"I want to see my little nephew with my own eyes when I come back!"

After saying that, he took a deep look at the person in front of him who was crying bitterly, and then decided to leave resolutely.

Daiyu suddenly seemed to have thought of something and handed him a silk handkerchief, which contained a pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets.

Daiyu smiled and said, "Brother, if you have no money on the road, you can pawn it and exchange it for silver!"

Unexpectedly, Baoyu picked up the bracelet and said calmly: "Even if it is, I am gone, but the bracelet cannot be lost!"

After saying that, he forced a smile, turned around and left.

Jiao Rou came over at this time and complained as she walked: "Sister, you walk so fast!"

When she saw Daiyu staring at Baoyu's departing figure, she asked softly, "Is he really that important?"

After a while, Daiyu sobbed and said something.

"Those were the most beautiful years of my youth when we knew each other and stayed together!"

Unexpectedly, these things were seen by Aunt Lan who was not far away.

Her heart seemed to blossom with joy, and she thought:

Humph, there’s no need for me to trouble you, Mrs. Yu!

You have put in quite a few scenes, and now you are having a secret meeting with a man, right?
