Pingjing, in a secluded compound!

Lu Xinyao was sitting by the window staring at the night sky, her thoughts spanning thousands of miles away, and her mind was full of the shadow of a person.

From the first meeting in the welfare home to the final separation by the waterfront, the shadow of Xia Chen in his mind never left.

"Squeak!"

The door was gently pushed open, and an old man with a cane appeared outside the door, but his arrival did not attract Lu Xinyao's attention.

"I'm thinking about him again!"

"Grandpa!"

Lu Xinyao exclaimed, reached out in a panic to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, barely squeezed out a smile, came to the old man's side and helped him to the sofa.

The old man looked up at Lu Xinyao kindly, shook his head and sighed softly: "Child, you have suffered......

"Grandpa, don't say that, this is my life, I can't blame anyone, if you want to blame me, I grew up in such a family since I was a child. ”

"I know you're uncomfortable, but it's done, and now you can only accept this reality. The old man reached out and patted the back of Lu Xinyao's hand and comforted.

In fact, his heart is also very uncomfortable, the current Lu family is no longer the time when he is in charge, since his cultivation has been lost, retreated into the background, the weight of speaking in this family has become dispensable, he is now just a bad old man waiting for death in the twilight of his life, and he is powerless to turn things around for his distressed granddaughter.

Lu Xinyao knew that her grandfather was blaming herself, so he forced a smile on her face and said, "Grandpa, this is a resentment against you, you don't have to take it to heart." ”

"Over the years, you have done a lot of things for me, I see them all, in my heart, you are my favorite grandfather. ”

"I can hate this family, I hate my parents, but I don't hate my grandfather's love for me. ”

The old man burst into tears, his eyes instantly moistened, and in order not to let Lu Xinyao see his embarrassed appearance at the moment, he turned sideways slightly to avoid her gaze.

"People get older and become more sentimental......"

"You rest. With a light sigh, the old man got up tremblingly on crutches, and Lu Xinyao helped him to the door, and he sent him back to the room.

Soon after the old man left, there were servants from several tribes, who had brought tailor-made costumes to be worn at the engagement feast.

Finally coping with them, Lu Xinyao restrained the hypocritical smile on her face and sat back in front of the window.

"Xia Chen, I miss you so much......"

The tears in the corners of his eyes couldn't stop flowing, dripping on the edge of the window and turning into endless thoughts.

……

The next day, Xia Chen went to the airport early and bought a flight to Pingjing at the earliest.

After a three-hour flight, the plane landed smoothly on the runway of Pingjing Airport.

After leaving the airport, Xia Chen did not go to Lu's house as soon as possible, but went to Situ's house instead.

Situ Hao heard about Xia Chen's visit and went out to greet him in person.

"Hahaha...... Xia Chen, what kind of wind is blowing outside today, it actually blew you here. ”

"The old man now seems to be recovering better than I expected, full of energy, it seems that the suppression over the years has not only not been reduced, but has been blessed by misfortune, and the realm has risen to a new level. Xia Chen saw the changes in Situ Hao's body with a simple glance, and said with a faint smile.

Situ Hao stroked his beard and smiled, "This is thanks to you, if I didn't meet you on the trip to the Japanese Kingdom, my old bones are estimated to be buried in the ground, how can there be today." ”

"You are the great benefactor of our Situ family. ”

"The old man is polite, it's just a gesture, don't worry about it. Xia Chen stopped and said indifferently.

Saying that, he paused and looked at Situ Hao, "Old man, this time I came to Pingjing, I heard an interesting story, I don't know if you know?"

"But it doesn't matter, as long as the old man knows, he will tell the truth!"

"That's the case, I heard that the Lu family and the Xu family are going to hold a wedding of two marriages in the near future, I don't know if the old man has heard of this?"

"Oh, I didn't expect even you to hear about it, it seems that these two families have put a lot of thought into this matter. Situ Hao said and nodded, "With the status of the two of them, even if it is just an engagement banquet, it will be very grand, and all the people with heads and faces in the society will attend, and the Situ family will naturally be on the list of banquets." ”

"Hey, go around, you kid won't want to participate too, right?" Situ Hao calmed down, looked at Xia Chen with interest and asked.

"That's right! I'm here to see the world and see what the engagement banquet of this great family is like. "Xia Chen

Cutting the railway, he did not say his true purpose, firstly, he was afraid of startling the snake, and secondly, he was worried that Situ Hao would have scruples after knowing about it.

"Well, since you want to participate, of course there is no problem, or okay, you will stay at my house for the next two days, and I will take you with me then. ”

"Thank you, old man, for bothering you for the past two days. Receiving Situ Hao's response, Xia Chen was overjoyed and grateful.

The marriage of Pingjing and Lu Xu has spread almost all over the streets and alleys, and has become a topic that people must have after tea and dinner.

Even if Xia Chen didn't step out of the door and shrunk in Situ's house, he could occasionally hear the servants talking there.

Soon, two days passed, and today was the day the engagement feast began.

Xia Chen followed Situ Hao and his sisters to the Lu family's mansion.

With the status and wealth of the Lu family in Pingjing, the family house is naturally heroic, not to mention that it only accommodates thousands of people, even tens of thousands of people.

There are many celebrities on the scene, and almost everyone's identity is the existence of the top of the pyramid in various regions, and it is no exaggeration to say that any stomp of the people here can lead to a lot of movement.

And Situ Hao, as the leader of the Situ family, has a resounding existence on the same level as the Lu family and the Xu family, which naturally attracted many people to come to stammer.

In order not to attract the attention of others, Xia Chen broke away from the team and blended into the crowd after entering the venue.

Situ Hao wanted to introduce Xia Chen, but when he turned around, he couldn't see his figure, and suddenly his face showed a look of doubt.

"Yingxue, Yingshuang, have you seen Xiachen?"

The second daughter turned around to look at Situ Hao's gaze and shook her head in unison.

"Grandpa, he's not a child, he can't lose it, maybe he will steal it in some corner, you don't care about him. Situ Yingxue pouted and said, for Xia Chen, she didn't take him seriously even at the moment, if an unknown guy hadn't been lucky enough to cure her grandfather's illness, how would he be qualified to come here, a dirt bun who had never seen the world, I wish he would make a joke.

Sisters concentric, Situ Yingshuang nodded approvingly, pulled Situ Hao's arm and said with a smile: "Grandpa, you don't care about him, he has hands and feet, and he can't lose it." ”

Situ Hao didn't pay too much attention, he felt that what his granddaughter said was reasonable, so he didn't bother with Xia Chen's whereabouts.
