Chapter 7: Parallel Time and Space 4

Su Zhiyuan's dislike for Wu Jin was almost born in his bones, and he felt uncomfortable all over his body from the moment he saw Wu Jin, which is the so-called aura disharmony.

Wu Jin's reputation in Kyoto is not good, and he snatched such a big Wu family from his eldest brother at a young age, and it is said that the angry old man lay in bed for two months. These are all evil things done by Wu Jin, who is well known in Kyoto, but a considerable number of people do not know the truth. In fact, Mr. Wu Jin, who is still young, is no matter how terrifying he is, and he has no demon to the point of being a demon.

"Brother, listen to me......" Su Xi chased after Su Zhiyuan to argue, "He is really not the kind of person they say he is." ”

"I only believe what I see. ”

"But what you see is also very sideways. Su Xi said, "The old man of the Wu family was sick in bed because he wanted to hand over the Wu family to outsiders, but he was vetoed by Wu Jin. You only saw him snatching the Wu family from his brother, why can't you see him guarding the Wu family from someone else?"

"If he is really so virtuous, he will pass on to his brother what he has taken from the old man. ”

"What age do you still believe in the ...... of those who are not virtuous?"

"I don't believe that Lichang is not virtuous, the problem is that Wu Jin can't be linked to the word Xian at all, right?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ We don't care if he is virtuous or not, I think Mr. Wu is still very good to me. You're ......"

"Su Xi!" Su Zhiyuan raised his voice, "You are in your twenties this year, you are not a child anymore, can you stop being willful." ”

"It's not my wayward problem, is it?" Su Xi was also angry, "I have been engaged to Wu Jin since I was sixteen years old. ”

"At that time, it was a family affair between the old man of the Wu family and the old man of the Su family, and you didn't participate in the choice, weren't you very unhappy at that time?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Later, Wu Jin came to the Su family to look for you, didn't you also dislike him?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Tell me now, why did you suddenly fall in love with him?" Su Zhiyuan frowned, "Just because I oppose you, you want to go against me during the rebellious period?"

"I'm not rebellious, I've been with Mr. Wu for a long time and think Mr. Wu is a very good person......" Su Xi said weakly, "I used to complain about him, even more than you." But that doesn't affect the future of the two of us. ”

"If you are with someone like Wu Jin, there will be no future. Su Zhiyuan said decisively, "He Wu Jin is a cold-blooded and ruthless business machine, he doesn't know how to write the word emotion, let alone what love is." ”

"Don't be so absolute. ”

"So, Su Xi, you tell me, you tell me now, can you be sure that your Mr. Wu loves you?" Su Zhiyuan said the point that had been buried in Su Xi's heart that had been entangled, "You tell me that you are in love with him now, and you think he is a very good person to you." Okay Su Xi, I admit that you love Wu Jin, so does he love you?"

Su Xi couldn't answer this question, she didn't know the answer.

You don't even know where you are in his heart. Su Zhiyuan let out a long sigh, "You are too young, you haven't rolled in this big dye vat in Kyoto, I don't know what dark characters and backgrounds are hidden behind these people." As far as I know about Wu Jin, you are not even the most suitable person to be his wife, you just happened to appear in that position, for you, Wu Jin is your lover, but for Wu Jin, you are just assuming the identity of his wife. He can't even say he loves you himself, so how can you prove to me that he's going to be nice to you when he gets married?"

"Why can't you give him a chance to prove it?"

"Because I don't trust him. Su Zhiyuan raised his hand and rubbed Su Xi's hair, "I feel sorry for you, I don't want you to suffer this kind of grievance." ”

"With him, I didn't feel so wronged......" Su Xi shook his head.

"Your parents didn't care much about you, and they didn't even pay much attention to your life's events, but as your elder brother, my brother who has been called by you for more than 20 years, I can't leave you alone. ”

"I know, but ......"

"It's nothing, you can marry whoever you want, but Wu Jin, no. Su Zhiyuan said.

Su Xi didn't speak for a long time, looking at Su Zhiyuan with sad eyes.

Su Zhiyuan was softened by her look, "At least the current Wu Jin doesn't have the possibility to impress me......"

"That is, if Wu Jin can admit that he can be good to me for the rest of his life, you will agree, right?"

"I didn't mean that either...... Promises that everyone can do, but not everyone can do it. Wu Jin he ......"

"Anyway, it's still possible, right?" asked Su Xi.

Su Zhiyuan nodded helplessly, "But this possibility is too small......"

"I see. ”

Su Zhiyuan thought about it for a long time and didn't figure out what Su Xi understood, but from that day on, Su Xi didn't pester him all day and night to ask if she could marry Wu Jin.

Su Zhiyuan thinks that Su Xi should start pestering Wu Jin because of his two words, asking Wu Jin to say that he loves her, and then run to find him, right?

Su Zhiyuan thought about it for a long time and felt that Su Xi was not such a cheeky person...... I shouldn't be able to do that kind of thing.

Su Xi actually just figured out one thing, she wanted to persuade Su Zhiyuan to agree to her marriage to Wu Jin, so she should first convince herself. As Su Zhiyuan said, now Su Xi herself is not very sure of this marriage, and she herself doesn't know if Wu Jin likes her...... Wu Jin will agree to their marriage is certain, if Wu Jin wants to deny it, from the age of sixteen to the age of twenty-three now, there is a chance to veto, but Wu Jin does not.

And Su Xi in this process, from the initial opposition to this marriage, to the later expectations, to the current illusions, she slowly discovered what this man is worthy of liking in her relationship with Wu Jin for so many years, and slowly admitted the fact that she likes him. However, there is another reality that she has not been able to recognize very well: whether Wu Jin likes her the same.

Now Su Xi wants to carry out the argument on this issue.

But to be honest, Su Xi didn't know how to argue......

"What's wrong with you?" Wu Jin found that Su Xi had been sighing in his office for a long time today, "If you are really bored, you can go and have tea with the secretary." ”

In fact, he meant what he said, but given that he usually has a cold and arrogant workaholic, this word reached Su Xi's ears with another meaning.

"Did I disturb you?" asked Su Xi cautiously.

Wu Jin was stunned for a moment, and it took two seconds before he came back to his senses and shook his head, "No." ”

Su Xi sighed softly: "Okay, I'll go outside to have tea with the secretary." ”

Wu Jin felt that he had said the wrong thing, but after thinking about it, he didn't understand which sentence he said was wrong...... This problem can only be put aside for the time being, and when you get off work in an hour, you can take Su Xi to eat something delicious to make up for it.

And Su Xi, who was drinking tea with the secretary outside the office, asked Wu Jin's secretary with some curiosity. Yes, there are almost no female characters in Wu Jin's office, except for the cleaning aunt, all of them are men.

"What do you think...... Does Mr. Wu like me?" asked Su Xi.

"Huh?" Mr. Secretary, who has been with Wu Jinsan for five years, was stunned for a moment when he heard this question, and then turned his head and asked Su Xi, "Miss Su, did our boss say anything to you?"

"I didn't say anything, I was just a little curious. Su Xi said.

"This ...... In fact, we don't know much about the boss's thoughts. ”

"That'...... Does he have any other female friends besides me?"

This question was easy to answer, and Mr. Secretary shook his head: "No." ”

"Don't you have a good relationship with a female customer?"

"Nope. The secretary continued to shake his head, "Actually, Mr. Wu's temper, not to mention the female customers who have a good relationship, there are not many customers who can talk to the boss." ”

"Huh?" Su Xi wondered, "Then how did your company become so big?"

"This ...... Hard business means. The secretary gestured, "Hard power is relatively strong, the industry is monopolized, and it is not possible to cooperate without cooperation." ”

"Hmm...... Won't that provoke people?"

"Yes. The secretary nodded, "Then the competitors who wanted to work against the Wu family were all eliminated by the boss." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Our boss was very strong. There was some adoration in the secretary's gaze.

Well...... She agrees.

"But our boss has a relationship issue...... I really can't judge this. The secretary said, and he didn't judge very well.

"Really?"

"And Miss Su, judging from the fact that I have been with the boss for so many years, you are a relatively special existence. ”

Su Xi's eyes lit up. 666 Literature Network

The secretary said seriously: "You are like a sudden intrusion accident, I have never seen the boss go out with a girl outside of you, and I never imagined that the boss would go out with a woman." ”

"......" After all, they are an engaged unmarried couple, and it can be said that it is polite to go out together to contact feelings, Su Xi continued to sigh when he thought of this.

Wu Jin, who got off work on time an hour later, saw that Su Xi's mood didn't seem to get much better, and he was a little curious, "Isn't today's tea delicious?"

It's not that the tea is not delicious, it's that the topic of today's tea party is not very pleasant.

Su Xi glanced at Wu Jin tiredly and shook his head, "No, I'm just not in a good mood lately." ”

Wu Jin thought for a while: "Is it still because of your brother's business?"

"Uh...... Well. Su Xi nodded.

"We don't need Su Zhiyuan's approval to get married. Wu Jin said calmly.

"But ......"

"Or rather, you don't want to marry me?"

"I ......"

"We are married. Wu Jin's eyes were very cold.

Su Xi was suffocated when she heard this, she felt very uncomfortable, she wanted to open her mouth and ask Wu Jin seriously, if it weren't for the marriage contract, would he choose her or marry her? But the words turned around her mouth a few times, and in the end she still couldn't ask. She didn't dare to ask, she really didn't dare to ask. Because she had already found out that she liked him, she already cared too much, and because she knew this man's consistent behavior and attitude very well, she would rather never ask this question, leaving herself with a trace of illusion, rather than getting that negative answer.

"What do you want to say?" Wu Jin felt that Su Xi seemed to have a sense of remorse, and his tone unconsciously became a little impulsive.

"No, I don't have anything to say. Su Xi took a deep breath and smiled, "What's for dinner?"

Wu Jin felt that Su Xi's smile was a little bleak, he didn't know why Su Xi was smiling so sadly, maybe he was dissatisfied with their marriage contract? After all, Su Xi had been not optimistic about this marriage contract for a long time.

But Su Xi's state by his side over the years has obviously accepted the possibility of becoming his wife...... And recently, Su Xi also ran to ask Su Zhiyuan's attitude.

Su Zhiyuan's attitude......

Wu Jin's hand that was cutting the steak paused, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Su Zhiyuan, this guy has never dealt with him. The relationship between the Su family and the Wu family is good, and the old man of the Su family took a fancy to Wu Jin as a good seedling, and also took a fancy to the future development of the Wu family, so he decided to marry as soon as possible, and in the first year of Wu Jin's inheritance of the Wu family, he made a marriage contract with the old man of the Wu family.

Wu Jin had a lot of trouble with his grandfather because of Zhang Chengyin's affairs at that time, so he compromised on the marriage, anyway, for him, his wife was just a marriage partner, and he never considered including that woman in his life. And his fiancΓ©e was just a sixteen-year-old girl who was five years younger than him at the time, and he didn't think he was a pervert and wouldn't have any love for this underage......

What was the state of meeting Su Xi for the first time?

Wu Jin looked at the woman who was making pumpkin soup across the table, and seriously recalled this question.

At that time, Su Xi was about sixteen or seventeen years old, the same age as flowers, Su Xi was a very famous talented woman in Kyoto, of course, the talented woman of this era was not the kind of talented girl who was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in ancient times, Su Xi was a person with a high talent for painting, he took a paintbrush since he was a child, and his paintings as a teenager won various awards at home and abroad.

Su Xi's younger brother Su Zhiyi also inherited the talent of his sister, who painted oil paintings and his younger brother painted Chinese paintings......

The two sisters and brothers of the Su family can be said to be the cards of the Su family's generation, and the old man of the Su family unceremoniously took out his best granddaughter as a marriage partner in order to have a good relationship with the Wu family......

Quite sincerely.

Wu Jin felt at that time that Su Xi should be a tool of the Su family, a tool used to support the cards or a tool used to marry, and the other party was an oil painter, and he should be an introverted and gentle and introverted girl......

However, Su Xi, whom Wu Jin encountered, obviously did not belong to this situation.

Before the engagement banquet, both parties had to meet according to the rules, and that day it was Su Xi's parents who took Wu Jin to find Su Xi......

But Su Xi, who was originally painting in the studio, didn't know where to go.

"What about Su Xiren?" asked the Su family's mother with a frown.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Just now, Young Master Zhiyuan took Miss Su Xi and Young Master Zhiyi out on an outing. The servant whispered.

"Su Zhiyuan, what is he doing? Is there any politeness? Didn't you say that a guest came over today and asked Su Xi to stay to meet the guest?"

"......" The servant said in his heart, it was because of this Su Zhiyuan that Su Xi was forcibly dragged away.

Su Zhiyuan didn't look down on his grandfather's betrayal of his daughter for glory, so Su Zhiyuan decided to break up the marriage from the beginning of their engagement agreement.

"I'm sorry, Ah Jin, this thing ......"

"It doesn't matter. Wu Jin, who ran away for nothing, shook his head expressionlessly, he didn't expect much from the other party, this kind of behavior was a little rude, but the people who were rude were not the Su family's parents, but Su Xi's cousin who couldn't beat the eight poles.

After saying a brief goodbye to the Su family's parents, Wu Jin was ready to leave with a bunch of apologies. Su's house lived halfway up the mountain, and when Wu Jin's car reached the foot of the mountain, he saw a girl walking on the mountain road in a hurry to stop his car.

"Sorry to interrupt!" said the other party with a straw hat made of wheat straw, a blue skirt, and a beautiful face.

"What's the matter?" Wu Jin asked.

"I'm Su Xi of the Su family, my family's villa is halfway up the mountain, I'm in a hurry to go back now but I can't find the car, can you give me a ride?" Su Xi said hurriedly.

Wu Jin was speechless for a while.

"Is that okay?"

Wu Jin wanted to laugh a little and asked her, "Why do you suddenly want to go back?"

"Huh?"

"Didn't you go out with your cousin, why did you suddenly go back to Su's house?"

"Just now my mother called me and said that there were guests at home who wanted to see me, but they ......," Su Xi said, stunned.

"Who do you think will be the one who came down from the mountain at this time?"

Su Xi pursed his lips, "You're the ...... they said they wanted to see me today."

"Wu Jin. Wu Jin leaned against the car door and stretched out his hand to her, "It's about to be your fiancΓ©." ”

Su Xi looked at the clean and thin hand, a little overwhelmed, "I...... I'm sorry I didn't know about your arrival today. I don't know how many of them are mysterious...... So ......"

"I hope you can give me a proper introduction to yourself. Wu Jin thought for a moment, "Miss Su Xi." ”

Su Xi let out a long sigh and held his hand as if he were dead, "Hello, my name is Su Xi, I am a painter, I don't have any other hobbies except painting, and I don't have a boyfriend or favorite object at the moment." I can only accept the marriage contract with you, but I can't express my liking. ”

"Hmm. Hearing this, Wu Jin looked at Su Xi seriously, "You usually do the same at home...... Honestly?"

"Of course not. Su Xi turned around and opened the door of his co-pilot, got into the car to blow the air conditioner, and fanned himself with his hat, "Of course I am a gentle and bright lady at home, but now I meet you outside, this is still the case...... Although I really want to be polite, I have to say, Mr. Wu, I really can't be polite when I see you in this situation. ”

"Hmm......" Wu Jin also returned to the car, closed the door and blew the wind with her, "Can I ask why?"

"Obviously, are you happy with this engagement?"

Wu Jin thought for a moment, "It's average." ”

"I think I'm okay with this engagement, but it's not a liking attitude, pushing myself and others, and I think you're the same. ”

"The situation is compelling. Wu Jin nodded.

"Hmm. Su Xi echoed and asked with some curiosity, "So now that we've met, can I ask, do you still like me?"

"Ah...... This question. Wu Jin looked at Su Xi seriously, "It's not annoying, but it's ...... I don't really have any interest in being underage. ”

"......" Su Xi clenched his fists, feeling that he was inexplicably despised.

Su Xi, who was eating at the table at the moment, couldn't help but sigh, thinking about it, the only time so far he honestly asked Wu Jin if he liked him, and it was actually when they met for the first time.

They haven't talked about it since.

How should this topic be restarted?

Su Xi, who is no longer the young, ignorant and somewhat rebellious girl she was back then, fell into distress.
