The Maid's Rise to Be a President's Wife-Chapter 275: The Moment They Met

At the Ji Family Estate,

Ji Minze and Yiren walked into the living room of the main building.

"Brother Minze, you're back!" Hearing the sound of the car, Tang Lei walked out of the dining room and called out. However, when she saw Yiren beside Ji Minze, her smile froze instantly.

Yiren had never felt so embarrassed before. She didn't expect Tang Lei to be there.

They stared at each other blankly, not knowing how to break the ice.

"Tang Lei, you're here," Ji Minze said, looking at Tang Lei, without letting go of Yiren's hand.

"Hello," Yiren said awkwardly to Tang Lei. She felt so lacking in confidence, as if she were the third party, someone who came to see someone she shouldn't have, and was just caught in the act.

"I'll make an extra serving of steak for Miss Yi later," Tang Lei didn't say anything special, just replied briefly and turned to go back to the kitchen.

"No need, Tang Lei! Yiren isn't feeling well and can only have porridge for now. Ask Aunt Wu to cook a bowl of porridge for Yiren! You can sit in the living room. Let the chef prepare the dinner," Ji Minze said and pulled Yiren into the living room.

The two women who loved the same man, when they met, didn't quarrel or pretend. It was just a simple conversation. It seemed that they were as strange to each other as they could be.

Tang Lei didn't enter the living room. Instead, she turned back to the kitchen, and tears welled up in her eyes. She just bit her lower lip to hold back the sobs.

She had been waiting wholeheartedly for the man she loved deeply. But this man seemed not to belong to her. She learned to cook for him and made his favorite steak. But did he care about all these things?

Brother Minze, why are you treating me like this? Since you love me, why are you accepting another woman?

Tang Lei clenched her hands and leaned against the sink. She didn't want to see the picture of them chatting and laughing. It was too cruel for her.

Ji Aier and Ji En also came back.

"Yiren!" Ji Aier was surprised to see Yiren in the living room. "I went to the hospital to see you just now, but they said you were discharged. Are you completely recovered?"

"Mom, I'm fine. I just need to pay a little more attention to daily life," Yiren said to Ji Aier.

"Take good care of your health," Ji En said as he sat beside Ji Aier.

"Okay. Thank you, Dad, for your concern," Yiren smiled and nodded. Then she turned to Ji Minze and said, "Minze, go and ask Tang Lei to come in and sit. She's a guest."

"Is Tang Lei here? I'll go and call her," Ji Aier said after hearing Yiren's words, then stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

In the kitchen,

Ji Aier saw that Tang Lei's eyes were red. She knew that Tang Lei was feeling sad.

"Child, don't be sad! You'll find your own happiness in the future," Ji Aier walked over and gently hugged Tang Lei to comfort her.

"I don't want it! Auntie, I don't want it! I only want Brother Minze," Tang Lei sobbed. She didn't want to let go. Just the thought of living without Ji Minze in the future made her lose her direction and not know what to do.

"Child! Minze is already married, and Yiren is his wife. I know this fact is cruel to you, but there's nothing we can do to change it," Ji Aier comforted her. She didn't want to directly tell Tang Lei that Ji Minze and Yiren were in love. If Tang Lei insisted on forcing the issue, she might end up hurting herself in the end. That would be even more difficult and painful.

"Auntie, I can't accept it! Really, I can't. Just the thought of not being able to be with Brother Minze makes me not want to live anymore," Tang Lei looked up at Ji Aier and said.

Ji Aier looked at Tang Lei with tears streaming down her face. She had experienced the pain of not being able to be with the person she loved. So she could understand Tang Lei's pain at this moment. But in a relationship involving three people, someone was bound to get hurt eventually, because this was an inherently unbalanced relationship.

"Child, when we love someone, we don't necessarily have to possess them. Even though Minze is with Yiren, he will still dote on you as he does now in the future. You're like his own younger sister," Ji Aier stroked Tang Lei's head and said.

"I don't want to be his sister. I don't want to be his sister at all! If I can't have him, I'd rather die," Tang Lei insisted. She had always been so persistent. She would get what she wanted, or she would never give up. And her living environment since childhood had always made her wishes come true, so Ji Minze couldn't be an exception either.

"Silly child, don't talk nonsense," Ji Aier exclaimed. If Tang Lei really threatened Ji Minze like this, he would definitely break down.

"Auntie, I'm really suffering," Tang Lei said desperately.

"I know, child. Wipe your face. We're going to have dinner soon," Ji Aier wiped the tears for her and said, with a solemn expression on her face.

"The Bird and the Winter"

I saw the poem you wrote again

Peeling back the lines of vicissitudes and melancholy

I read your clear eyes again

Those were the words we exchanged many years ago

Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.

Gradually turning yellow as the years passed by

Every sentence you wrote at that time

Still softly singing in distant memories

That winter, we looked up at the sky

A bird spread its wings

You said you were like the fallen trees in winter

And I was like a bird flying over the wilderness

Your pale face was reflected against the flying snow

Your expectant gaze transcended many years

Our story stood still in the crevice of time

Condensed into silent ice

Where can I find such a place

Where the minutes and seconds no longer pass by

Where can I treasure the radiance of our encounter

Let your poem sing in the winter

The wind blows through the years without knowing the twilight

The flowers of youth wither and no longer bloom

The frost blade of time carves the rings of life

Recording the eternity of happiness

The ups and downs of you living in a foreign land

Are the words and sentences in my lonely drawer

I'm looking forward to the day when we can meet again

To see those aging poems once more

Let my tears float in the wind

Floating across the icy canyon to search for

The traces left by the bird's flight

And it has already flown away
