Chapter 90: Dark Waves
Song Yu was amused by her theory, and said, "Senior sister, this is a blatant heavy color and light friend. I'll have to reconsider whether to go or not. ”
Peng Xi also laughed, grabbed her arm, and said, "You have to go or not, you have to be considerate and considerate of the sorrow of my older person who has been urged to marry." My ears are almost calloused by my mother. ”
She sighed, both a headache and a helplessness.
She doesn't think she's on a blind date, but the market doesn't think so. According to her mother's words, at her age, only others pick her, and there is no one else who picks her. That tone only wanted to pack her up and marry her right away.
In the first half of the year, her mother was not so anxious, and if she wanted to blame her two cousins, they were obviously younger than her, but they both gave birth to children this year. Seeing that she doesn't have a boyfriend, it would be strange if her mother could calm down.
The two talked and went downstairs, Peng Xi attached great importance to this blind date, and kept asking Song Yu in the car if her makeup was flowered, and if there was anything that needed to be re-taken care of.
Her nervousness made Song Yu very helpless, so let her relax. She was very decent and elegant, and there were no problems.
Although she comforted all the way, Peng Xi still did not relax. When she arrived at the ground, she originally wanted Song Yu to accompany her. Song Yu didn't, saying that she was asked to go in first, and she would go in later. If something is going on, ask her to text her, and she'll keep an eye on her phone.
Peng Xi responded and took a deep breath before entering the restaurant.
Song Yu didn't go in right away, and it took about ten minutes to go in. The location of Peng Xi and the blind date man is by the window, and you can see it at a glance when you enter the door.
Peng Xi was satisfied with the blind date man, and when he saw Song Yu entering, he quietly made an OK gesture.
Song Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, found a position not far away and close to her and could notice her movements, sat down, ordered a simple meal and ate slowly.
The man who went on a blind date with Peng Xi looked like he was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing glasses and polite. Judging from the care of Peng Xi, it can be seen that the cultivation is good.
I thought that the two would talk for a long time, but Song Yu didn't swipe her mobile phone for long after eating, so Peng Xi walked over and patted her on the shoulder and said, "Look at what, let's go!"
Compared to the nervousness when she came, she is much more relaxed now. A cheerful smile spread across his face.
Song Yu laughed when he saw her like this, and said, "Are you satisfied?"
Peng Xi pretended to nod deeply and said, "It's okay." ”
"Did you leave your contact information?" Song Yu asked again.
"Stay, he asked me. Peng Xi pretended to be calm and said.
Song Yu nodded and said, "It seems that he is also very satisfied with you." ”
The impression on both sides is good, and this is undoubtedly a good start.
Peng Xi was obviously also full of confidence, laughed hehehe, pulled Song Yu and walked outside, and said: "I don't have a few lipsticks, it's still early, you accompany me to pick which color is suitable for me." ”
Opposite is the mall, but not far away. Song Yu thought about it for a while, remembering that the two hadn't talked for much at this time, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Why did he leave?"
It's still early, isn't it normal to take a walk together after dinner or go to the last movie?
Peng Xi sighed and said: "He needs to work overtime today, he was replaced with his colleagues, who knew that his colleagues couldn't handle something, so he went back to deal with it first." ”
She was quite generous and didn't take it to heart. After speaking, he said, "I have to buy some other things, do you have any good recommendations?"
Song Yu is usually plain-faced, and there are not many times when he needs makeup, so he shook his head and said, "I haven't been to a shopping mall for a long time, so ask the shopping guide when the time comes." ”
Peng Xi nodded and said yes.
The two talked while walking, and when they arrived at the opposite shopping mall, the two were about to go inside, and as soon as they arrived at the door, they saw Tang Xu and Kong Fan coming out of it.
The two were not followed by others, and although Kong Fan was sliding in a wheelchair by himself, he could also see that the two were together. I don't know if it's for a visit to the mall or for a bite to eat.
Tang Xu probably didn't expect to meet Song Yu here, and he couldn't help but pause.
I haven't seen him for a few days, the cast on his leg has been removed, and he is not using crutches, but he is still limping when he walks.
Such a situation was obviously embarrassing, so Song wanted to avoid it, but before he could avoid it, Kong Fan opened his mouth and greeted her and Peng Xi with a smile: "Miss Peng and Miss Song also come out to visit the mall?"
Peng Xi subconsciously looked at Song Yu when she saw the two, she knew the embarrassment of this situation, nodded without waiting for Song Yu to speak, and said with a slight smile: "Well, I didn't expect to meet Miss Kong, it's quite a coincidence." ”
As she spoke, her eyes fell on Tang Xu's body, and she continued to smile slightly and said decently: "Miss Kong, we won't bother if you have something, let's go first." ”
After she finished speaking, she took Song Yu's hand and walked inside.
The two men at the door did not pause, and their figures quickly disappeared in the doorway.
Peng Xi was worried about Song Yu, and when she walked inside, she looked at her cautiously. Song Yu's face was calm, and he even smiled when he saw her looking at her. Without waiting for her to say anything, she said, "I'm fine, let's pick something." ”
Peng Xi regretted that he had proposed it, but seeing that Song Yu really didn't look like something was wrong, he hesitated a little and went to pick things up.
If she hesitates, it will only make Song Yu even more embarrassed.
Buying things later, listening to the shopping guide's extravagant introduction, Peng Xi quickly put this matter behind.
She only planned to buy lipsticks and creams, but in the end, she bought more under the recommendation of the shopping guide. She is actually a potential shopaholic, and she asked Song Yu's opinion at the beginning, but she simply didn't ask her opinion later. As long as the shopping guide introduces it, I can't wait to buy it.
Song Yu was frightened when she thought about the deflated wallet, and reminded her a few times when the shopping guide didn't pay attention, and she reluctantly gave up. Take the receipt and go to the checkout.
When she was shopping, she didn't feel it, but when she got out of the mall, she wailed. He slapped his head vigorously and said distressedly, "Oh my God, how can I survive until next month?"
Song Yu was helpless and said, "Didn't I remind you just now?"
Peng Xi wailed again and said, "You shouldn't have reminded me, you should have dragged me away directly." ”
After all, it is not yet the time when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and her emotions come and go quickly, and she quickly flips through the things she bought.
Song Yu looked at it and had a headache.
Peng Xi talked about her going to do her hair with great interest. It's just that it's already past nine o'clock and ten o'clock now, and I can't do my hair anymore, so I can only do it tomorrow. Peng Xi regretted it.
She originally wanted to invite Song Yu to supper, but Song Yuyi refused not long after eating. Then the two went home.
Song was a little tired, got on the bus and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. I didn't open my eyes until I got to the ground.
When I returned to my new house, I took out the key and opened the door only to find that the light in the living room was on. Tang Xu is back.
Song Yu's body stiffened slightly, and he quickly changed his shoes and entered the room.
Tang Xu was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, and when he saw her come back, he glanced at her and didn't speak. The room was so quiet that there was no sound at all.
Song Yu didn't stay outside for long, and never went out after entering the room.
Tang Xu sat outside in silence for a long time, took out a cigarette and smoked it on the balcony.
The next day was the weekend, and I originally thought that Tang Xu was going out, but he didn't. When Song Yu got up, he was already dressed and sitting on the sofa.
Song Yu made breakfast without saying a word, and Tang Xu sat down at the dining table without her calling. The atmosphere is somewhat oppressive and makes people lose their appetite.
Song Yu ate much faster than usual, and just as she was about to clean up the dishes and chopsticks after eating, her mobile phone rang.
She was a little relieved, looked at her phone and saw that it was Peng Xi calling, so she immediately picked up the phone and fed her.
Peng Xi thought that she hadn't gotten up at this time, but now she was a little surprised to see her pick up the phone so quickly, and said, "Get up so early?"
She didn't talk much nonsense, and immediately said, "Is there anything wrong with you? Can you go see someone for me?"
Song Yu couldn't ask for it at this moment, and immediately said, "Okay, I'm fine." ”
Peng Xi was a little reluctant to disturb her on this big weekend, and said: "Didn't I say last time that I wanted to inquire about the Zeng family? I have already asked someone to inquire, and the person who inquired was on a business trip some time ago and only came back today." It was supposed to be me, but the guy who asked me out yesterday is asking me out again today, so I have to trouble you to make a trip. ”
It seems that the other party's movements are quite fast, and Song Yu originally wanted to say congratulations. But when he saw Tang Xu at the dining table, he finally swallowed the words back. A simple yes.
Peng Xi and the others met at about ten o'clock, and then they didn't say anything more, and gave Song Yu the address and phone number.
Song Yu wrote it down and went back to the room, and after changing his clothes, he planned to go out immediately.
She changed her clothes and came out of the room, and Tang Xu on the other side of the dining table asked slowly, "Where are you going?"
Song Yu didn't look at him, and said in a low voice, "Go out." ”
As she spoke, she was about to leave, but who knew that as soon as she turned around, Tang Xu said, "I'll have to go to the old mansion later." ”
His tone was understated.
Song Yu stiffened her body slightly, her part-time job was deliberate. He didn't even say anything when he was on the phone just now.
Song Yu pursed his lips and said, "I'll be back in a while." ”
She didn't wait for Tang Xu's answer this time, and went directly outside.
Song Yu arrived half an hour early, thinking that she would have to wait for a while, but not long after she sat down, the other party arrived.
Peng Xi had called him, and he was not surprised to see Song Yu. He didn't delay much, and after politely greeting him, he said, "What your senior sister said is true." After a slight pause, he continued, "It's just that the relationship between their family is a little more complicated than you think. ”
Song Yu sighed in his heart when he heard this.
Yu Hong paused slightly, and then said: "Their family is not an ordinary family, although the child's father has no background, but his mother's family has some background, and his maternal grandfather is in politics. ”
Although he said it simply, Song Yu could understand the powerful relationship.
Yu Hong sighed as he spoke, and said: "Actually, selfishly, I don't approve of you two girls doing this kind of thing, this kind of thing is thankless, especially if the other party has a background, no one can predict what will become of the situation in the end." ”
There are not many things where black and white are reversed, especially when the other party has a very good background. And the other party dared to arrange for someone to send people to the hospital, so no one could predict what kind of means they would use to deal with them.
Things are indeed more complicated than they imagined, although Song Yu was pampered by Song Zhiyuan, it was not dark and had never seen it. I wanted to squeeze out a smile at this time, but I still couldn't squeeze it out.
After a while, he spoke: "Their family is in a special situation, and no one can sit idly by. We have limited power, and we can only do our best with our conscience. ”
She said with a wry smile on her face.
Yu Hong sighed again and said, "You have enthusiasm, but it's a pity that I can't help much." If there's anything you need, just call me and I'll be sure to help if I can. You and your senior sister should also pay attention to safety. ”
He still had something to do, so he didn't stay long, and simply said a few words to Song Yu and left. Song Yu was left in the café looking at the information he left behind, and he didn't move for a long time.
The information he brought was very simple, and with his ability, it was impossible to find out something deeper. Although the information is simple, the relationships inside are intricate.
Song Yu really realized at this moment that she and Peng Xi still thought about this matter simply.
She sat there for a long time, and it wasn't until her phone rang that she came back to her senses.
The call was from Tang Xu, and she only then remembered that she was going to the old mansion. She picked up the phone as she put the information in her bag and hurried out.
As soon as he picked up the phone and fed him, Tang Xu's faint voice rang out, and he asked, "Where is it?"
Song Yu didn't answer his words, and said, "I'll go back immediately." ”
As she spoke, she quickened her pace, intending to walk to the side of the road to stop the car.
Tang Xu was already a little impatient on the other end of the phone, and asked again, "Where is it?"
Song Yu had no choice but to answer where he was.
Tang Xu didn't say much, and hung up the phone after letting her wait.
Soon there was a beeping sound on the other end of the phone, Song Yu held the phone and looked at it for a while, and put the phone back in his pocket. didn't rush to take a taxi anymore, just stood on the side of the road and waited for Tang Xu to come over.
She walked up and down until the car came and the driver got out of the car and opened the door, and she came to her senses.
Tang Xu sat in the back, and the driver opened the door in the back. She hesitated for a moment, but sat down anyway.
Tang Xu didn't say what he was going to do in the old mansion, Song Yu wanted to ask, but in the end he didn't ask anything, just sat in silence.
When she was about to arrive, she subconsciously looked at Tang Xu's leg, although he had removed the plaster, he was still limping when he walked, since he dared to go back to the old mansion, it meant that the old mansion should know about his injury.
The two of them didn't speak all the way, probably for the sake of performance, when they arrived at the place, Song Yu got out of the car, and Tang Xu in the car lightly ordered: "Come and help me." ”
Song Yu sighed, went around to the other side, and stretched out his hand to help him out.
It was almost noon, and there was silence in the old house. However, the aunt of the family greeted her and called the third young master politely and respectfully.
Tang Xu nodded lightly and asked casually, "What is my mother doing?"
The aunt replied respectfully, "I know that you are coming back, and my wife has been waiting." The old man is also at home, and he is in the study after waking up early. ”
Tang Xu sighed and asked again, "Are my eldest brother here?"
"All of them are there, except for the second young grandmother who took the child back to her parents' house, everyone else is there. ”
In the past, Tang Xu would never ask these questions, although Auntie didn't know why he suddenly cared about this matter today, but she didn't dare to ask.
Compared with the meticulous eldest young master and the second young master who often has a gloomy face, this smiling tiger-like third young master is obviously much more terrifying.
Tang Xu snorted, stopped talking now, and walked inside with Song Yu's help.
He was obviously able to walk when he was at home, but at this time, most of the weight was pressed on Song Yu's body. Song Yu walked extremely hard every step.
As soon as the two arrived at the door, Yu Manzhu greeted them. Seeing Tang Xu's limping appearance, his well-maintained face showed a rare distress, and said, "You kid, why don't you know how to tell your family about such a big thing?"
Tang Xu laughed and said, "It's just a little injury, what are you worried about." Don't you think your son is alive and well now?"
Tang's mother glared at him and said, "You call it a dragon and a tiger?" She was distressed and said: "It is said that it takes a hundred days to hurt the muscles and bones, and the injuries have to be nourished by soup and water." What kind of soup does your daughter-in-law make?"
She was dissatisfied with Song, and she didn't look at her from beginning to end.
Tang Xu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine." Besides, my daughter-in-law didn't marry to make soup. Isn't there an aunt who does those things?"
The next sentence he said casually.
Although Tang's mother was still dissatisfied, she still didn't say anything because he was there. When he entered the living room, he called out to his aunt to bring the soup to Tang Xusheng.
The aunt quickly brought the soup over, and Tang's mother watched Tang Xu pick up the bowl and drink it, and then said to the aunt who was still standing and waiting for instructions: "Go and tell the old man that the third young master is back." ”
The aunt answered yes and quickly knocked on the door of the study.
Although there was a knock on the door, Tang's father never came out. Tang's mother was dissatisfied, but Tang Xu didn't seem to care, and found a topic to pester Tang's mother, and didn't let her call Tang's father.
Father Tang stayed in the study until almost lunchtime before coming out, seeing Tang Xu lazily leaning on the sofa, he was a little dissatisfied, his brows furrowed, in the end he still didn't scold him like before, sat down, frowned and asked, "What's the matter with your legs?"
As he spoke, his gaze fell on Tang Xu's leg.
Tang Xu still looked like a hanger, and said, "There was a car accident." ”
He was concise and to the point, and Father Tang was obviously dissatisfied with his answer, his brows furrowed a little tighter, and he asked, "What happened to the car accident?"
As soon as his words fell, Tang Chengen came in from outside.
The corners of Tang Xu's mouth hooked, and he said with a smile: "What can happen, the brakes failed, and I just limped one leg, and my life was big." Otherwise, you wouldn't have seen me sitting here. ”
After he said this, he looked at Tang Chengen who came over, and said in a loud voice: "You said yes, second brother?"
Tang Chengen didn't know if he really didn't hear what he just said or if he didn't hear it, and after greeting Tang's father and Tang's mother, he looked at Tang Xu and said, "What did the third brother say just now?"
The corners of Tang Xu's lips hooked again, and said, "I didn't say anything, just said that my life was great." ”
Tang Chengen's face did not change at all, and he didn't pick up his words, and said lightly: "Didn't there be a fortune teller who counted for the third brother before, and the third brother is a blessed person." ”
His tone was understated.
Tang Xu laughed and said lazily: "No, I'm quite blessed." Otherwise, it would not have been possible to save this life. If the brake failure had fallen to someone else, it might not have been as lucky as me. For example, the second brother meets ......"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Father Tang, who scolded: "Who taught you to treat your brother like this?"
The smile on Tang Xu's face did not fall because of his scolding, and said lazily: "I just made an analogy like that." Second brother, the old man of our family values you the most. But not a joke can be made. ”
He yawned as he spoke, as if he were a little excited.
Tang's father wanted to scold him again, but before he could speak, Tang's mother said: "Okay, okay, you don't ask a word if the child is injured, and he has a straight face when he comes back once, no wonder he is more and more reluctant to come back." ”
Father Tang still didn't say anything more, snorted coldly and stood up and brushed his sleeves away.
The atmosphere in the living room was a little awkward, Tang Xu didn't seem to feel it at all, looked at Tang Chengen, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Second brother, don't you sit down and drink a cup of tea?"
He said this quite meaningfully, and it also brought a point of provocation. Obviously, after Tang's father left, he was even more unscrupulous.
Tang Chengen's gaze swept over him, his face was still gloomy, and he said lightly: "No, I still have something to do, the third brother will drink it slowly." ”
As he spoke, he said hello to Tang's mother and went upstairs directly.
Tang Xu was not surprised at all, picked up the teacup in front of him and drank the tea slowly.
Although Song Yu didn't know anything, she vaguely guessed from his words to Tang Chengen that his car accident should be related to him.
Although the two are half-siblings, they are related by blood after all. Tang Chengen wanted his life as soon as he made a move, which can be said to be ruthless.
Song Yu was shocked, and realized for the first time that the Tang family was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.
