The engagement reception was held in one of the largest hotels in town, with a total of three tables. The three members of the Zou family plus Fang Xiaoshi all came. Since Fang Xiaoshi and Cao Yuyi met alone yesterday, she almost didn't say anything, and the whole person was in a trance. Even Zou Dafu asked her how much money her brother should get for his engagement. She shook her head and said nothing. Later, Zou Tianyu sent a few thousand yuan to the hotel in the town where they lived, and when he came back, the money was taken back intact.

Fang Xiaoshi was deeply attracted by a pair of lovers in front of him, after a year of ups and downs, Cao Yuyi's whole person has become more deep, profound, and more masculine charm and courage of a man. And after Luo Jiayi left her modeling career, she was still so beautiful, and there was more beauty unique to motherhood in the ointment, which made it easier for people to approach. Seeing this, Fang Xiaoshi couldn't help but think: It is natural for such excellent two people to be together, and whoever wants to separate them is heinous.

Zou Tianyu looked at Fang Xiaoshi and looked at a certain place and became demented, he couldn't help but look over, only to see Cao Yuyi holding Luo Jiayi and walking over slowly, even he was stunned, it was really a talented and beautiful woman, a match made in heaven. Cao Yuyi took Luo Jiayi to a table of toasts, and finally arrived at Fang Xiaoshi's table. Luo Jiayi walked cordially in front of Fang Xiaoshi and asked excitedly:

"Xiao Shi, am I beautiful today?" Fang Xiao Shi looked at her in a red cheongsam again, and nodded sincerely

"Sister Luo, you are really beautiful, I don't think there is any other bride in the world who is as beautiful as you. Luo Jiayi was stunned for a moment when she heard Fang Xiaoshi's words, and the smile on her face slowly disappeared. Seeing that her mood had changed so much, Fang Xiaoshi asked nervously:

"Sister Luo, why are you upset? Did I say the wrong thing?" Luo Jiayi looked at her and said sincerely:

"No, no, your kindness makes me ashamed of myself, and I am even more ashamed of you. Speaking of this, Luo Jiayi lowered her head and lowered the voice that only Fang Xiaoshi could hear, and said:

"Xiao Shi, don't blame me for being too selfish, I really love Yuyi, and I don't want to let go until I have to. ”

"Then hold my brother's hand. Sister Luo, I'm doing well now, don't worry about me, living a good life with my brother is the most important thing. ”

"Little pick me up..."

"Jiayi, let's toast the friends at the table together!" Luo Jiayi was just about to continue talking to Fang Xiaoshi, when Cao Yuyi walked over and interrupted their conversation. When Luo Jiayi heard this, she hurriedly picked up her cup and nodded. Cao Yuyi looked at Fang Xiaoshi fiercely, and raised his cup to her:

"Let's first respect my kindest and most lovely sister! Without her, I would not be where I am today, and she is the one who has made me who I am now. Our Cao family ended up today because of her. Fang Xiaoshi listened to his words, her face suddenly turned pale, and her whole body was shocked, if it wasn't for Zou Tianyu beside her who helped her in time, she almost fell down.

Cao Yuyi picked up the glass and looked at Fang Xiaoshi with a solemn look, and Fang Xiaoshi had to pick up the wine glass with a trembling hand.

"Brother Cao, Xiao Shi can't drink, I'll drink it for her!" Zou Tianyu stopped.

"It's my family business. It's not your turn to stand up and speak now, and I respect her out of gratitude to her, do you have any qualifications to represent her?"

"You..."

"Tianyu, don't say it, I'll drink!" Fang Xiaoshi interrupted what Zou Tianyu wanted to say. As soon as she finished speaking, she took the cup and drank it down.

"Xiao Shi, why are you so bothered!" Zou Tianyu wanted to stop it too late. He hugged Fang Xiaoshi and said regretfully. Cao Yuyi and Luo Jiayi were all dumbfounded when they looked at Fang Xiaoshi's overly hasty movements.

"Xiao Shi, what are you doing? If you don't know how to drink, don't be reckless! Your brother just said it casually. Looking at Fang Xiaoshi's painful expression, Luo Jiayi couldn't help but say with a heartache.

"No... It's okay, your engagement feast, how am I... Why don't you want to have a drink? Fang Xiaoshi said with a smile. Cao Yuyi's face became extremely ugly again. He gave him a cold look, then turned and walked towards the other table.

Cao Yuyi didn't take a few steps before he heard the nervous shouts of Zou Tianyu and Luo Jiayi, and he couldn't help but turn around. I saw Fang Xiaoshi's face pale and fell into Zou Tianyu's arms, she was so weak and haggard at the moment, and two lines of tears slowly flowed down the corners of her eyes. The two snow-white jade hands hung down weakly. No matter how Zou Tianyu and Luo Jiayi shouted, she closed her eyes without any reaction. Cao Yuyi's heart was as sad as being stabbed by a knife, he stared at the helpless Fang Xiaoshi, and involuntarily walked over, just when his hand was about to touch Fang Xiaoshi's body. Luo Jiayi grabbed his hand and reminded softly:

"Yu Yi, Xiao Shi will leave it to Zou Tianyu! We've got guests here!"

"Cao Yuyi, you treat Xiao Shi so ruthlessly, you will regret it one day. Zou Tianyu picked up Xiao Shi and walked out briskly as he spoke. Fang Xiaoshi's miserable little face appeared in front of him again, Cao Yuyi was frozen there as if someone had ordered blood, and with Fang Xiaoshi's departure, his heart seemed to be hollowed out.

"Yu Yi Yu Yi... The mayor called you, why didn't you answer?" It wasn't until Luo Jiayi called his name loudly and said it to him that he reacted

In the next engagement banquet, Cao Yuyi was not in a state at all, he let Luo Jiayi guide him, and he would do whatever she asked him to do?

The experience of more than ten years was constantly replaying in Fang Xiaoshi's mind, and a steady stream of tears flowed out of Fang Xiaoshi's eyes.

"Although you have also done a lot of things for the Cao family, I still can't forgive you for selling your ancestral house, you are not my sister in the first place, and you will die in prison in the future, and you will not have my brother anymore. Cao Yuyi's cold words rang in Fang Xiaoshi's ears over and over again.

"Don't want me, brother!" Fang Xiaoshi screamed and sat up. What appeared in front of her was Zou Tianyu's worried face. He gently combed the hair on her forehead and said:

"Xiao Shi, you finally woke up, you can't wake up anymore, I'm going to take you to the hospital. ”

"Have I slept for a long time?"

"You've slept for a day and a night. Obviously you don't know how to drink, but you want to drink it, and you fall asleep until now. ”

"I'm sorry to worry you, not next time. Fang Xiaoshi still said a little weakly.

"You suddenly fell asleep and scared me to death. If it weren't for the fact that everyone else said that you drank too much, I would have sent you to the city hospital at that time. If you don't wake up, I'm going crazy. You're embarrassed to tell me next time, if there is a next time, if you wake up, I'm afraid I'll be scared to death by you. ”

"Got it. It's all my fault that scared you. Zou Tianyu hugged her:

"I don't want your apology, I just hope you won't be willful in the future, don't be reckless, and don't be bad for yourself, okay?" Fang Xiaoshi looked at him and nodded tearfully. Zou Tianyu hugged her tighter, as if he was afraid that she would disappear.

"Tianyu, are they leaving?" Fang Xiaoshi asked softly.

As soon as the engagement banquet was over that afternoon, they went back to Beijing. Fang Xiaoshi didn't say anything more. Zou Tianyu went on to say:

"What happened between you and your brother? He forced you to drink even though he knew you couldn't drink, and he knew that you had fainted, and he didn't even look at you when he left, and he didn't even say hello, which is too much!"

"It's okay, isn't that good?" Fang Xiaoshi said lightly. Zou Tianyu held her shoulders and stared at her carefully with a research eye, saying:

"Xiao Shi, I know that you have a lot of things in your heart, you don't want to talk to me, and I never force you. But you are now my object, my future wife, and I absolutely cannot tolerate you because of this affecting your physical and mental health. ”

"It didn't affect my health, don't you think I've always been fine?"

"Isn't it good? You often look at your house alone, and since you came back from Beijing, you have been thinner and thinner day by day, and at first I thought you were haggard because of your aunt. But your aunt is gone, and you get the job of a kindergarten teacher you like, but you are not happy at all, you are still losing weight, and you dare to say that it has not affected your physical and mental health?"

"Tianyu, you think too much, isn't it fashionable to be thin now? It's so hard that you don't like me to be thin?"

"Xiao Shi, you don't change the subject less, you know that no matter what you become, I like you. The only thing I want is for you to let go of everything in your heart and be happy with me. ”

"I've always been happy to be with you!"

"Whether you're happy or not, I know better than anyone else. Xiao Shi, I just want to ask you now, do you really have me in your heart?" Fang Xiaoshi said without hesitation:

"Of course I have you in my heart, if you don't even doubt this, why are you still with me?"

"I'm relieved to have your words. Then let me ask you again, would you like me to help you open the knot?"

"Do I have a knot in my heart? Why don't I know?"

"You just have to answer me, yes or no. ”

"If I have a knot in my heart, I'm willing to open it for you. ”

"Okay, Xiao Shi, you really didn't disappoint me, then if I ask the following questions, you must answer me truthfully, okay?" Fang Xiao Shi nodded vigorously:

"Ask, I'll answer you truthfully. ”

"Then I'll ask the first question now, how did you spend the money from selling your ancestral house?"

"I used that money to delay my aunt's life by a year. Zou Tianyu looked at her in surprise and asked:

"Didn't I hear your uncle-in-law say that Cao Yuyi took the money?"

"That's what I told my uncle, and I want to say that the money from the sale of the ancestral house will not be asked for by my uncle and aunt. And my brother and I promised my mother that we would take care of my aunt until she died. It was a low point in my brother's life, and he couldn't protect himself. I can only do my filial piety on his behalf, and I will contribute to him to pay, which is easy for my aunt and husband to accept. Fang Xiaoshi slowly told the truth of the matter.
