Volume 2: Greed Chapter 134: The Betrothal Feast
"Bang. ”
With a loud bang, the door slammed shut, and the whole wall shook, and then a dark figure ran down the stairs quickly.
In the hall, a middle-aged man is reading the newspaper, this is his old habit for decades, although he has no shortage of electronic equipment, but he still loves to read the newspaper, every day after lunch, as long as it is okay, he will sit on the sofa, drink tea, read the newspaper.
Hearing the loud noise upstairs, the middle-aged man first frowned, and then the corners of his mouth grinned, revealing a helpless bitter smile, and before the expression on his face was put away, the dark shadow had already walked down the stairs.
"Dad, I'm out. ”
Xue Xinyue shouted, at this moment, she looked in a hurry, her hair was messy, and she obviously looked like she had overslept.
"How many times have I told you, girl's house, the range of action is smaller, don't be in a hurry every day. Xue Wenhai looked over the newspaper in front of him, and looked at Xue Xinyue and taught bitterly.
"Alright, alright, got it. Xue Xinyue stopped, playfully spit out her pink tongue, and said in a coquettish voice: "Didn't I get up late, blame my mother for not calling me." ”
"How old are you, you still need to wake you up? Do you need me to wake you both up when you have a child in the future?" Liu Wen's voice came out of the study in a timely manner, making Xue Xinyue smile again, and said loudly to the study: "Mom, I'm leaving." ”
"Okay, let's go, stay safe on the road. ”
After saying hello to Liu Wen, Xue Xinyue was about to set off, Xue Wenhai, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly seemed to remember something, put down the newspaper in his hand, looked at Xue Xinyue and asked, "By the way, Yueyue, have you been to the Bai family for a few days?"
"Huh?"
Hearing Xue Wenhai's question, Xue Xinyue showed a look of surprise on her face, but she was replaced by sadness, she turned around, nodded, and replied in a low voice: "I wanted to go the day after Uncle Bai's accident, but I called Ruxue and Li Wei answered, she said that Ruxue is in a very bad state now, let me go again after a while." ”
"Well, that's right. ”
Xue Wenhai listened, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "I went to Bai's house with your mother that day, thinking that you were busy opening a store, so I didn't call you." ”
Then, without waiting for Xue Xinyue to reply, he said with a smile: "I guess, it won't be long before we can drink happy wine." ”
Hearing Xue Wenhai suddenly say such a clueless sentence, Xue Xinyue forgot what she wanted to ask just now, and said with a smile: "Hmm, what do you mean? ”
"You see, you're busy with the business in the store every day, and you don't know as much as I do. ”
Xue Wenhai put on a smug look on his face, and said mysteriously: "In the past few days, I can hear some rumors in the school, saying that the two big families in the imperial capital may be married. ”
"Ahh
Xue Xinyue's face was surprised, she looked at Xue Wenhai, and asked uncertainly: "Dad, the marriage between the two big families you heard about wouldn't be... ”
"That's right. ”
Seeing Xue Xinyue's unbelievable expression, Xue Wenhai smiled: "It's your good best friend, Bai Ruxue and Zhang Junlin of the Zhang family." ”
"What! Impossible. ”
In the face of this sudden news, Xue Xinyue's body involuntarily took a few steps back, Bai Ruxue also told her about the Zhang family's proposal, and Bai Ruxue also made it clear that she would not marry into the Zhang family, but now, how could such news suddenly circulate, it is very likely to be false, thinking of this, Xue Xinyue looked at Xue Wenhai suspiciously in order to confirm his guess and asked, "Dad, where did you hear the gossip?"
"Don't worry about this, anyway, now that the entire imperial capital has spread all over the city, a young man like you who is closed to news doesn't know. Xue Wenhai sat up straight, stretched, and said lazily.
"The grapevine can't be trusted. Xue Xinyue smiled and blinked.
"Well, who knows. Xue Wenhai shrugged.
“。。。 ”
Looking at Xue Wenhai's determined face, Xue Xinyue suddenly remembered the last time she saw Bai Ruxue and Lin Feng in the Western restaurant, the intimate expression and ambiguous relationship between the two, coupled with her own understanding of Bai Ruxue, she denied the news as soon as possible, but everyone is curious, she still secretly decided to find out what was going on.
Looking at Xue Xinyue, who was staying in place, Xue Wenhai pushed the eyes that had slipped to the tip of his nose, and asked with a smile: "Yueyue, what are you still doing here?
"Hmmm... Dad, we'll talk when we come back in the evening, I'll go first!"
Xue Xinyue, who didn't react for a while, was stunned at first, then suddenly looked at his watch, wailed, and then grabbed the helmet hanging on the hanger, and jumped out of the house like crazy.
Looking at Xue Xinyue's busy figure, Xue Wenhai couldn't help but squint his eyes and sigh with happiness on his face.
"This girl!"
When Xue Xinyue arrived at the Western restaurant, there were already some customers seated in the hall, but after a general sweep of her eyes, Xue Xinyue suddenly stopped, because she saw a familiar back.
After responding to the employee's greeting, Xue Xinyue did not go upstairs as usual, but walked straight to the man he had been paying attention to.
Quietly walking to his side, Xue Xinyue saw him holding a glass expressionlessly, the tea in the cup was already cold, but this person seemed to be ignorant, because he was not very busy at this time, Xue Xinyue sat directly in front of the man, and asked with a smile: "What do you want?" ”
Hearing this crisp voice like a yellow bird, Lin Feng came back to his senses, his eyes moved from the glass to the beautiful and cold face, he wanted to smile at her, so he pulled the corners of his mouth, squeezed out a very reluctant smile, and said softly: "I thought about it, the entire imperial capital, it seems that I can only come to you." ”
Seeing Lin Feng's dejected expression, Xue Xinyue sighed in her heart, because she remembered the news that Xue Wenhai told her when she just went out, combined with Lin Feng's reaction at this time, this matter... It can't be true.
However, although there was already turmoil in her heart, Xue Xinyue was still unfazed on the surface, she still asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Why are you free to come to me today." ”
Looking at Xue Xinyue with a smile on his face, Lin Feng hesitated for a long time, and then asked softly, "Have you gone to look for Ruxue in the past few days?"
"Why do you all ask me that?"
Hearing Lin Feng's inquiry, Xue Xinyue subconsciously purred out what he thought in his heart.
"Huh?"
I didn't expect Xue Xinyue to say such a sentence, Lin Feng raised his head and looked at her suspiciously.
"It's okay. ”
Facing Lin Feng's puzzled eyes, Xue Xinyue smiled and waved his hand and said, "At home just now, my father asked me the same question. ”
"Oh. ”
Lin Feng nodded and didn't say anything more.
Seeing that Lin Feng didn't speak, Xue Xinyue repeated what she had just answered Xue Wenhai, and then asked, "What's the matter?
As if Xue Xinyue's words evoked Lin Feng's memories of the Bai family that day, I saw that his face tightened, then he lowered his head slightly, and shook his head silently.
"Why?"
Xue Xinyue looked puzzled and asked, "Xiaoxue has experienced such a big thing now, how can you, as her boyfriend, not accompany her?"
Xue Xinyue's words made Lin Feng's head almost hang down to his chest, he clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice: "Maybe it's because Uncle Bai's death was caused by me." ”
"What!"
Although Lin Feng's voice was small, Xue Xinyue could still hear every word clearly, her beautiful eyes immediately widened, and she subconsciously screamed, attracting the customers in the restaurant to look at them one after another, and those waiters also walked quickly towards the location of the two after seeing that it was their boss who exclaimed.
"I'm fine, you guys go get busy. ”
Xue Xinyue waved his hand at the waiter who was walking towards him, and after signaling that he was fine, his face was still extremely shocked, he looked at Lin Feng, and asked in a low voice, "Lin Feng, what the hell is going on?"
"You don't have to ask about the specifics, I can only tell you that there are too many things involved. ”
Lin Feng raised his head, smiled bitterly, and continued: "The current Bai family, almost everyone up and down has already decided that I killed Uncle Bai, and they don't even let me enter the door now, even Ruxue doesn't see me anymore." ”
"But there must be some misunderstanding in this, isn't there?"
Xue Xinyue frowned, and asked eagerly, "Why don't you explain? Moreover, isn't it said on the Internet that Uncle Bai committed suicide?"
"yes, maybe I caused it indirectly. ”
Lin Feng nodded, he didn't want to continue talking about this topic, so he looked at Xue Xinyue and asked softly, "By the way, do you know about Ruxue's engagement?"
"This... ”
Xue Xinyue didn't expect Lin Feng to suddenly ask herself so bluntly, she leaned back slightly, her eyes glanced around, but she still nodded lightly: "I just knew about this matter, but isn't it all rumor, it hasn't been confirmed yet." ”
"No, it's true. ”
Lin Feng shook his head, leaned completely on the back of the seat, as if he was paralyzed there, and said with a painful face: "Now the rumors outside are all spread by the Zhang family, or it may be next week, or it may be these days, the Zhang family will hold it, like snow... The engagement feast is over. ”
“。。。 ”
Listening to Lin Feng's trembling voice, Xue Xinyue didn't even have the courage to look at him at this time, although she and Lin Feng were only a few sides, but Bai Ruxue was her best friend, she could see that when Bai Ruxue mentioned Lin Feng, the happy light in her eyes burst out, and the person who could make Bai Ruxue like so much must also be in love with Bai Ruxue, she couldn't imagine how much courage Lin Feng used to say these three words.
"That... ”
Just when Xue Xinyue didn't know how to comfort Lin Feng, Lin Feng first explained: "I came to you today, just to find someone to talk to, to find someone who can understand my feelings, you don't have to care too much, I... ”
When Lin Feng said this, his voice was already a little choked, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and stopped talking, his heart was very chaotic now, he didn't even know what he just said, and then, Lin Feng stood up directly, raised his head, and didn't look at Xue Xinyue, but just whispered: "I'll go back first." ”
"Huh?"
Xue Xinyue, who didn't expect Lin Feng to leave so soon, looked surprised, and subconsciously stood up, but before she could speak, she saw three people probe into the western restaurant, and in an instant, Xue Xinyue's face became gloomy.
