Chapter 29: The Marriage Contract
As an important leader, Long Jin's residence is also quite mysterious.
This is a large military control area, where a large number of important state leaders are concentrated, and the entire control area has adopted the protection of military readiness, and a full regiment is stationed here.
At this time, it was close to dinner time, and after Long Xiangyu hung up the phone, Gu Xiaobai drove off, and the two of them came all the way from Shanghai to Beijing, and the car approached this mysterious military control area under the command of Long Xiangyu.
Even with Long Xiangyu's leadership, it was inevitable to investigate, and the soldier with the detector circled around the car a few times before signaling to his companion that there was no problem, there was no doubt that the Ling Feng Blade that Gu Xiaobai was carrying was confiscated, which was all expected.
After the car drove into the villa area, it kept moving along the straight road.
"Why did your father ask me to come over too?" Gu Xiaobai stared ahead, puzzled.
"How do I know that your grandfather and he aren't friends? Maybe he just wants to see you. Long Xiangyu leaned back in the seat and looked out the car window.
The Mercedes Benz was parked in front of a villa, and the small garden at the door was full of colorful flowers, and it could be seen that the owner of the villa usually spent a lot of time in the garden.
As soon as the car engine went out, Long Jin walked out of the gate of the villa, and watched Long Xiangyu and Gu Xiaobai walk into the courtyard one after the other through the garden.
There was a noble lady standing behind Long Jin, Gu Xiaobai's attention was instantly attracted by her, as a woman who was nearly fifty years old, Long Xiangyu's mother Shu Yunyu can be regarded as full of temperament, not only thanks to her good maintenance, but also relying on the noble temperament she usually cultivates, as Long Jin's wife, just standing there can give people a feeling of unattainable.
"Dad. Long Xiangyu whispered hello.
"Well, Xiaobai, come in. Long Jin glanced at Long Xiangyu expressionlessly, and it seemed that he didn't plan to forgive her for the time being, but gave Gu Xiaobai a smile after that.
"This is Xiaobai, what a talent, Mr. Gu's grandson is really extraordinary. Shu Yunyu looked at Gu Xiaobai, who was dressed in a suit, and praised.
"Where, there, it's this outfit that is expensive, and it just highlights me. ”
The interior of the villa is not as luxurious as imagined, but a typical 80s style, giving people a very comfortable feeling, which also shows that although the Long Jin couple are high-ranking figures in life, they are really low-key.
"You talk first, the meal will be ready soon, Xiangyu, you come and help me!" Shu Yunyu dragged Long Xiangyu and pulled her into the kitchen, leaving the space for two men.
Long Jin sat on the sofa and poured tea for Gu Xiaobai with his own hands, which made Gu Xiaobai nervous.
"Xiaobai, you should know a little bit about me and your grandfather, right?" Long Jin opened his mouth first with the teacup in his hand.
"Well, it's a friend, your son told me. "Somehow, Gu Xiaobai has the feeling that his son-in-law is seeing his father-in-law.
"Yes, we are very good friends, I have been haunted by his death, and I have been sending people to investigate, unfortunately, there is no news so far. ”
"Well, I know it's not easy, but one day I'll know everything. The perseverance in Gu Xiaobai's eyes made Long Jin look sideways.
"Actually, I asked you to come over today because I have other things to tell you," Long Jin paused, his expression was a little flustered, and he adjusted his sitting posture and continued: "Last time I announced Xiangyu's marriage contract in front of everyone, you were also present at the time, right?" ”
Gu Xiaobai nodded.
"It's a pity that Ouyang Xun's child died soon after, but the cause of his death is not so simple, although some family fights sound ridiculous, but I have long been used to it, there is no point in investigating the cause of his death, in this position, you always have to endure some things that are originally incomprehensible, you know?"
Gu Xiaobai was confused when he heard it, and he didn't understand what Long Jin wanted to say.
"Ahem...... is a little off topic, yes, because Ouyang Xun's child is dead, then Xiangyu's marriage contract will be null and void, but in fact, I set a baby kiss for Xiangyu a long time ago. ”
"Doll pro?"
"Many years ago, when you were all young, I was already very good friends with your grandfather, he was only S turtle level at that time, and he could only be regarded as a high-level ability in the Huaxia Ability Realm, and he had not yet reached the point of being one of the best. ”
Long Jin took a sip of tea and continued: "That's when I called him Mr., and he took the initiative to let go of the age barrier and became a year-old friend with me, by the way, I was just a little-known person back then." ”
"Wait, the doll kiss you and my grandfather set will not be ......" Gu Xiaobai had a strange premonition.
"That's right, the doll relatives at that time were you and Xiangyu. ”
Gu Xiaobai opened his mouth wide but didn't know what to say, he felt like he was in a dream, and he hadn't figured out what was going on.
"I hope you can understand, at that time, we decided on our own initiative, and at the same time, we also want to forgive me for the decision I made later, because your grandfather died suddenly, and you are nowhere to be found, plus I owe a lot of favors to the Ouyang family when I was young, Ouyang Shangqing has mentioned the marriage of two children to me countless times, and I have no choice but to violate your marriage contract without authorization, this is all my problem. ”
Gu Xiaobai hurriedly stretched out his hand to signal Long Jin to stop, and then said, "This is not the key, is there any evidence for this marriage?"
Long Jin got up and took out a piece of brown paper from the cabinet in his corner and handed it to Gu Xiaobai, on which the marriage contract between the two was neatly written in italics, and there were also signatures of Long Jin and Gu Xianhua below, Gu Xiaobai stared at his grandfather's name for a long time, and then realized that he couldn't tell the truth from the fake, but since it was something that Long Jin took out, it was already a sure thing.
"Then does she know about this?" Gu Xiaobai subconsciously looked in the direction of the kitchen, and only then did he realize the smell of food that permeated the living room.
"No, Xiangyu doesn't know, only I know about this matter originally, even my wife only recently found out. ”
Gu Xiaobai looked at the signatures on the vellum paper one after another, and his mood became complicated, whether he was happy, surprised, or afraid? He couldn't tell clearly.
"That'...... Do my parents know?"
"No," Long Jin shook his head: "They don't know either, of course, if you can accept the marriage contract, I will come forward and tell them." ”
"No, no, no, this is too sudden, it's a bit ...... for me to suddenly accept such a marriage contract" Gu Xiaobai remembered his ideals, he still had to soak countless beautiful eyebrows, why did he have to plant it in Long Jin's hands now?
"Of course, I don't intend to force you to accept this fact today, I can give you two plenty of time, after all, feelings are all about mutual affection, and I'm not the kind of rigid parent. Long Jin actually laughed to himself.
"If you are not rigid, you will force your daughter to marry Ouyang Xun?" Although Gu Xiaobai thought so, he just thought about it.
"Dad......" At some point, Long Xiangyu stood in the corner of the living room, looking at Long Jin in disbelief, obviously having heard what they were talking about.
"Oh, Xiangyu, since you heard it, save me from doing the work for you, think about it yourself, it's best not to make me a defaulter, you know, Dad has relied on decisiveness and credit all his life to sit in his current position. ”
When the two were speechless, Shu Yunyu had already set up the dishes and chopsticks, and dinner was spent in a strange atmosphere, from beginning to end, Long Jin kept observing the expressions of the two, while Shu Yunyu glanced at Gu Xiaobai from time to time, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, which was in response to the saying "mother-in-law looks at son-in-law". And the most uncomfortable thing was the two young people, Gu Xiaobai's mind was full of confusion, and he could only be a machine for eating, while Long Xiangyu was silent the whole time, burying his face on the table all the time, and did not raise his head once.
In this way, dinner was spent in silence, Long Jin and his wife said a few more words to Gu Xiaobai, Gu Xiaobai escaped from the gate of Long's house, Long Jin and his wife wanted him to stay, but he firmly refused, he couldn't stand spending the night in such an embarrassing atmosphere.
The Mercedes-Benz car started, Gu Xiaobai went on the road alone, and he was relieved to know that he couldn't see the figures of Long Jin and his wife clearly in the rearview mirror.
The car was driving at high speed, Gu Xiaobai opened the window, let the evening breeze blow in, and suddenly sighed. As an ordinary person, being able to complete the marriage contract with Long Xiangyu is of course the top treatment in life, but at this time, his mood is extremely complicated.
Suddenly, the phone rang and it was a text message.
Gu Xiaobai glanced at it, it was Long Xiangyu, and he opened the text message in surprise.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know Dad was looking for you for something like this. ”
Gu Xiaobai smiled bitterly, and his fingers hurriedly typed a few words on the keyboard.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a little sudden. ”
It didn't take long for the reply to come.
"You can ignore his words and act as if you didn't hear anything today, and as for that engagement, I'll find a way to break it. ”
Gu Xiaobai felt a moment of loss in his heart, but he could completely understand Long Xiangyu's thoughts.
"Perhaps...... Should I keep my promise?"
After the text message was sent, Gu Xiaobai inexplicably looked forward to replying to the letter, perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope in the direction he expected for this matter.
After a full five minutes, the phone rang again.
"Drive slower. ”
Gu Xiaobai threw the mobile phone on the co-pilot in disappointment, stepped on it hard, and the engine roared.
At this time, in the Long family, Long Jin was sitting on the sofa watching TV, and Shu Yunyu sat beside him silently.
"What did the kid say?"
Long Jin lifted his reading glasses and said, "Like Xiangyu, I didn't say anything, young people nowadays treat this kind of thing too strictly, you know." ”
"That marriage contract, was it really signed by Mr. Gu?"
Long Jin looked at Shu Yunyu, his face was full of suspicion, this kind of expression was familiar to him, the only person in this world who could see through himself was his wife.
"Well, you can see through it, the marriage contract is forged. ”
Shu Yunyu was not surprised, but laughed.
"What are you laughing at, who made that weird old man just refuse to promise me, anyway, he's dead now, no one knows the truth, by the way, you have to keep a secret for me. ”
Shu Yunyu said with a smile: "Of course, I like Xiaobai very much, but your trick is too despicable." ”
"Hahaha......" the husband and wife looked at each other and smiled.
On the highway, the speed of the car has soared to 140, and Gu Xiaobai likes the feeling of adrenaline.
Suddenly, the phone rang, and he was forced to reduce his speed, picked up the phone and glanced at it, which was an unfamiliar number.
