Chapter 476: The Affair (Part II)
Liang Hui has been divorced once, she knows that her brother and Xiaoying are not a good match, she said to her brother more than once: "If you are an upstart in the business world, or a well-known rich second generation, then she may live with you." But I don't even look at your salary, do you expect him to take a fancy to you?"
Liang Zheng has long been carried away by love and rejects his sister's preaching. At that time, he was almost thirty years old, and he was actually naΓ―ve, believing that Xiaoying really liked him. Besides, on his terms, he is the most sought-after category in any blind date market, how can Xiaoying not like him?
Liang Hui couldn't wake up his stupid brother, and he didn't want to see him sad, so he gave Xiaoying some resources. During that time, Xiaoying seemed to be hanging, she had never been on the screen, but she suddenly got the opportunity to cooperate with big-name movie stars.
Her opportunity is that many people can't wait for it, Xiaoying is overjoyed, and she no longer hesitates to express her love to Liang Zheng: "My dear, you are really my lucky star, after dating you, my luck has become better." β
Liang Zheng is naturally happy, in addition to his busy work, he doesn't feel hard at all when there is such a delicate beauty who shushes him for warmth. What's more, she will be cute and coquettish, Liang Zheng has lived a decent life since he was a child, where have he ever seen such a cute girl? Therefore, he was fascinated by Xiaoying.
After dating for about half a year, his parents also learned about Xiaoying's existence. Liang Zheng's father, an old cadre who had long since retired, proposed to his son: "You are not too young, when the time is right, bring that girl back to have a look!"
Xiaoying's parents are in a small business, and she has been immersed in the entertainment industry all year round, so she knows almost nothing about the situation in the system, and she has no concept of Liang's father's status, so she doesn't feel nervous. Liang Zheng accompanied her to choose a few gifts, told her a few parents' preferences, and took her home.
Xiaoying followed Liang Zheng into the heavily guarded community for the first time, and entered the quaint and chic single-family building, she looked at everything around curiously, and whispered: "I didn't expect your parents to live in such a good place!"
Liang Zheng smiled slightly: "They have worked hard all their lives, and now they are very old, and they still can't be idle." β
Xiaoying is not afraid of Liang Zheng's parents at all, and the first time they met, they were as lively and bright as meeting friends. Liang's father and Liang's mother were all laughing and groaning, and there was no frame at all. At that time, Liang's father had just learned the piano, and it was still very difficult to recognize the score, but Xiaoying sang according to the score very easily, and said: "Isn't this "Nanniwan"?"
Liang's father was very happy: "Oh, a young man like you, you still know this song?"
Xiaoying smiled: "When I was preparing for the art exam, I prepared this song!"
Father Liang nodded frequently: "Yes, yes, young people, it's not bad to sing more songs like this, at least you can understand the spirit of the times of that era, and carry forward the style of hard work, which is more meaningful than listening to those pop songs." β
Xiaoying is innocent: "Which era is the spirit of the times?"
Liang's father paused suddenly, and Liang's mother was also a little stunned - wouldn't it? This girl didn't even know what era "Nanniwan" was a song?
Liang Zheng hurriedly played a round: "Actually, I can't remember the background of that song clearly, and I still need my dad to teach us a good lesson." β
Father Liang also gave the young man a step and said, "Okay! When I have time, I will give you some science popularization." β
Young people, there are some things you don't know, and you don't have to be harsh. Liang's father thought like this, and forgot about this little episode in a blink of an eye. Lunch was prepared very richly, and Xiao Ying, who was used to dieting, couldn't help but eat a few more bites, especially the squirrel osmanthus fish. Liang's father proudly introduced: "That's my hometown food, and it's not easy to eat such an authentic taste at home in Beijing. β
"Then Uncle Liang, where is your hometown?"
Liang's father was slightly stunned again, and just about to explain patiently, Liang Zheng jumped out again to solve the siege: "Didn't I tell you before? My father's hometown is in Suzhou." β
Xiao Ying smiled embarrassedly: "I forgot! β
It's not a big deal, just talk about it and laugh and it's over. After eating, the nanny made tea again, of course, Xiaoying didn't understand tea, and she couldn't taste anything. They chatted for a while, and when they talked about Liang Hui, Liang's father said: "You are a literary and artistic worker, and the working environment is relatively complicated. With Liang Hui by your side to help you, we are also quite relieved. β
Xiaoying said with a smile: "Sister Liang Hui has indeed helped me a lot, and I am very grateful to her." With her behind me, I can have no fear!"
The three members of the Liang family were petrified again.
Xiao Ying didn't know what she said wrong, and she bit her fingers and was at a loss. Liang Zheng reminded in a low voice: "It is fearless, not 'holding'." β
Xiaoying knocked her head and said with a smile: "I'm just so-so, I didn't expect to make jokes again!"
Of course, the vibe was still good and no one laughed at her. But after she left, Liang's father said to his son worriedly: "This girl, the education level is really not very high......
Liang Zheng was also aware of this problem, but he didn't think about it too seriously: "Dad, we can't set the standard too high...... It's too hard to find a girl who can keep up with your knowledge. β
Liang's mother also said: "Let's go home, it's just that we read too much, and it's a little lifeless." I think that girl is lively and cheerful, and if she really marries into our family, she may be able to liven up the atmosphere. β
Liang's father said: "Enliven the atmosphere? Isn't one Liang Hui enough? Crazy, married and divorced, do you still think she is not active enough? This girl, I don't feel very good." β
Although Liang's mother likes Xiaoying's character, she is also faintly worried and can't say anything. Liang Zheng's face was not very good-looking, but Liang's father didn't care, and continued: "Looking at her eyes, I always feel that she is not very restful. Liang Zheng, do you really want to have a relationship with her? This is a major event in your life, and your mother and I respect your opinion, but you have to think it through. β
Liang Zheng frowned, feeling very uncomfortable. Parents have always been very open-minded, and even if they are against it...... Did you really misjudge?
But lying on the bed, thinking of the sweet words Xiao Ying said, and thinking of her breathtaking eyes, he still couldn't let go of her. Before going to bed, he sent a message to Xiaoying and said euphemistically: "You have also seen that my parents are intellectuals, if you want to have a common language with them, you should have time to read more books!"
Xiaoying made several crying expressions and said, "My head will be big as soon as I read, don't embarrass me anymore!"
Before Liang Zheng could figure out how to reply to her, she said arrogantly: "I never need to please others!"
Alas, I'm really proud, I can't do anything about her. In the dark, Liang Zheng replied: "Let's rest first, and then talk about it later." β
Unexpectedly, after a while, Xiaoying actually sent another message: "However, if it is to be with you, I am still willing to make compromises." β
Liang Zheng smiled all of a sudden, thinking, Xiaoying still loves herself very much!
He proposed to Xiaoying, but was rejected. It was 2008, Xiaoying was just 22 years old, she was enjoying the thrill of rising popularity, how could she get married?
The reason for the incident is not complicated, that is, she went abroad to participate in an event, and met a very famous foreign designer by chance, and then she was very excited to take photos with others, and generously posted it on her blog. She wrote a blog post about her overseas travels, and in that blog post, the chance encounter with the designer became her highlight, and even her "most unforgettable memory".
She thought that fans would definitely leave crazy messages, and even passers-by would praise her for being very powerful, but what she didn't expect was that the designer posted a lot of remarks unfavorable to our country on the Internet. At that time, social media was not as developed as it is now, and it was rare for people to go to foreign social media to look at a photographer's personal page. Therefore, three days after Xiaoying uploaded the photo, this matter began to ferment.
At first, she thought it was nothing, and it was a big deal to delete the photos. However, she underestimated the power of the web. Because of her insincere attitude, she was crusaded against by many people, and in the process of crusade, some inappropriate remarks before she became famous were also revealed. The misfortune is not a one-way street, the diet pill she endorsed also went wrong, and netizens scolded her for having no sense of responsibility. In this way, her image of a pure goddess was shattered almost in the blink of an eye.
Only then did Xiaoying get scared, she was worried about being abandoned by Liang Zheng, and she was also worried that her career would collapse. During that time, almost every time they met, she would cry with red eyes, and show her heart to her lover again and again - about that group photo, it was indeed her unintentional fault, and the words she posted in QQ space in junior high and high school, she herself felt very naΓ―ve. Diet pills, she is even more innocent. People will grow, she didn't do well before, but she will definitely not do it again in the future.
In the end, she would always say pitifully: "Liang Zheng, these things are all premeditated, someone wants to fix me...... Everyone is scolding me, and if you don't believe me, then I really can't find a reason to live. β
She doesn't care about current affairs, and her foreign language is not good, so Liang Zheng believes that the group photo was indeed taken without her knowledge, and the same is true for diet pills, she can't understand the ingredients, and she can't distinguish those advertising words that fool people, and it's normal to be deceived. And the black history she was turned out was not because of nude photos, nor because of bullying, it was nothing more than some foul language and some cynical words. Adolescence, that's understandable. It's no wonder that she has to set up a jade girl's character, of course those remarks will make her image collapse!
Liang Zheng didn't realize that his first reaction was not to accept her all kinds of bad things because he loved her, but to find a reason to convince himself so that he could accept her.
The subtle differences in this are not easy to detect, but they can lay hidden dangers for a relationship.
In this way, the marriage of the two was decided, in December of that year. Xiaoying did not have a fear of social networks, but posted every detail of the wedding preparation on her blog. She doesn't seem to want to get married, but to demonstrate with netizens - look, no matter how you scold, I don't care, I can still marry into a good family.
Colleagues and friends also know that Liang Zheng is getting married, and people often say hello to him, and he is also preparing for the wedding seriously. But the closer the wedding date became, the more panicked he becameβwhen did he go from taking the initiative to passive......ly accepting? Was he forced to get married?
