Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Old Man Meets by Surprise

"Xian, why do you look at people like this?" Hua Zhengfeng seemed to see Mu Zhihan's uneasiness, and said to Li Xianjing with a soft smile. That look, as gentle and lingering as when a boy and girl fell in love for the first time, made Mu Zhihan's heart tremble slightly when she heard it.

Li Xianjing smiled back, showed her white teeth, and said, "Heh, I'm so happy, Zhihan, sit down." ”

Chu Binxuan took her hand, scratched it in her palm, and said softly in her ear, "I'm sweating." ”

She glanced at him, and his face turned away, as if he didn't say anything: "Come, Zhihan, sit." ”

"Did Zhihan just arrive?" Li Xianjing didn't understand why she came today because she heard Chu Binxuan say that she just regarded him as her brother, but when she looked at Chu Binxuan's expression, she and Hua Zhengfeng seemed to have guessed halfway.

"I was going to come with Bin Xuan before, but it was only two days late because of trivial delays, please don't be surprised by my uncle and aunt. Mu Zhihan replied softly.

"Xuan'er said that he is very close to Miss Mu, some time ago when I talked about my marriage with you, what do Miss Mu and your family think?" Hua Zhengfeng went straight to the point, without beating around the bush at all.

Although Mu Zhihan was very mentally prepared, she couldn't help but be shy, bowed her head and said, "Everything is discussed by Binxuan, uncle and aunt and mother. ”

Hua Zhengfeng's face was overjoyed, Li Xianjing was also very surprised, Chu Binxuan's eyes looked at Mu Zhihan affectionately, and he couldn't wait to hug her tightly in front of his parents, but there was a question in his heart like a winter cloud that always lingered, why did she leave Pei Junhao and chase her to the UK? Hasn't the misunderstanding between them been resolved? Why didn't Mu Zhihan even allow him to ask?

"Miss Mu said this, we will come to the door tomorrow to discuss with your mother. ”

"Zhengfeng, will you go tomorrow?" Even Li Xianjing felt that she was in too much of a hurry.

"Of course, the sooner the better, the two children have no opinion, what are you waiting for. Hua Zhengfeng said.

"It's up to my uncle and aunt to decide. Mu Zhihan was still a little nervous.

"Zhihan, come, sit down. Li Xianjing smiled and beckoned, her smile was as warm as a mother, and Mu Zhihan got up and sat beside her.

Li Xianjing took her tender hand, stroked it and said: "What a peugeot girl, when I see you, I think of when I was young, and I think of the time when I and Zhengfeng were together in the past, you are very much like an old friend of mine." She said.

"Really, who is she? Maybe I have a relationship with her. Mu Zhihan asked with a smile.

Li Xianjing recalled: "Her father came to Britain from China to do business, and the business was doing very well, but later she fell in love with a Chinese scholar in the UK, but the man unfortunately died in a car accident, she was so sad that she locked herself in her home for more than ten days without seeing anyone, and I went several times but could not see her."

Soon after, she left London with her family and returned to China, presumably to prevent her from staying in this sad place, I heard that later she got married, and her husband's business was very large, but unfortunately I have not been in contact with her for decades, and you are really similar to her when she was young. ”

"It's a shame I can't see her anymore. Mu Zhihan also looked sorry when she saw Li Xianjing, and changed her tone to comfort her: "Since she is doing well, my aunt doesn't have to worry about it." ”

Li Xianjing nodded, and several people gossiped about homely things, leaving Zhihan to eat, but Mu Zhihan politely declined because she was in a hurry to go home to see her mother.

"Zhihan, my parents love you very much. Chu Binxuan sent her out, and her excitement still couldn't be calm.

"I like them too. Mu Zhihan looked at him deeply and said, "Tomorrow my mother and I will wait for you at home." ”

Saying that, she bowed down to get into the car, Chu Binxuan suddenly came up and lightly imprinted a kiss on her face, she was stunned for a moment, turned around and smiled, and said, "See you tomorrow." ”

The car drove slowly on the road, Mu Zhihan gently touched the cheek that had been kissed by Chu Binxuan, and her heart was full of joy and sorrow, she was happy to be able to help Binxuan and help Li Xianjing, but thinking that her fate with Pei Junhao had come to an end since then, the sadness in her heart surged up like a tide.

It's just that she can't have both, she can only give up one of them ruthlessly, pain is a necessary process.

"Jun Hao, do you hate me? I love you! But I can only give you the deepest blessings in a distant foreign country, please forgive me, forget me, and find your true happiness. ”

When Mrs. Mu saw her daughter come back suddenly, and heard that her daughter was going to get married to Chu Binxuan, she was overjoyed, her daughter was about to get married, and for her mother, the excitement was not calmer than that of her own marriage.

can have a boy like Chu Binxuan as a son-in-law, and Mrs. Mu can be regarded as a heart for her daughter.

The excited Mrs. Mu got up early in the morning and prepared for the Hua family to come to the door to propose, who knew that Hua Zhengfeng was not calmer than Mrs. Mu, and before Mrs. Mu expected the time, the Hua family's two cars honked their horns outside the gate of the Mu family.

Mrs. Mu personally greeted her out, Chu Binxuan was asking the maid to take things down from the car, and Hua Zhengfeng helped Li Xianjing get down from a car behind.

Because Li Xianjing has been indoors for a long time, she is not very accustomed to the strong light outside, Hua Zhengfeng specially gave her a fashionable hat, and a piece of coffee-colored tulle gently hung down, covering most of her slightly pale face.

"Binxuan, Mr. Hua, Mrs. Hua, please come to the house. After listening to Zhihan's simple explanation, Mrs. Mu called Li Xianjing Mrs. Hua and invited the guests into the house with a smile.

Li Xianjing suddenly held up the tulle with her bloodless slender fingertips, and called out in surprise: "Ji Yun, is it you??"

Mrs. Mu's eyes also widened in surprise, looked at Li Xianjing in front of her, and opened her mouth wide: "Xianjing, is it you?"

Ignoring everyone's surprised eyes, the two screamed and hugged each other.

"Since you left the UK, I have asked around for news of you, but there has been no news, I can't imagine that in my last days, not only can I be with Zhengfeng again, I can see Xuan'er every day, I can reunite with my old friends, and I can't imagine that Zhihan will be your daughter, I am so happy!" Li Xianjing looked at Mrs. Mu and praised: "We are old, but you are still so beautiful." ”

Mrs. Mu sighed: "It's a shameful life, back then, it was said that the two of us were beautiful and beautiful, and I couldn't imagine that we would have to suffer such a setback when we were getting old." ”

As soon as her words fell, it also aroused Li Xianjing's sadness, and both of them shed tears.

Hua Zhengfeng and Chu Binxuan saw that the two were old friends, but they were so sad when they met, and they couldn't help but persuade: "Old friends meet and are about to get married again, why do you cry when you are unhappy?"

Mu Zhihan saw her mother come out and didn't go in for a long time, she was reserved and reluctant to come out, she couldn't help but go out to see, but she saw her mother and Li Xianjing talking about the old days and hugging sadly, remembering that day Li Xianjing said that she was like a person, and it turned out to be her mother.

"Mom, uncle and aunt, go in and talk. Chu Binxuan smiled and quietly took her hand, and whispered: "I didn't expect my mother and aunt to be old friends, it seems that we are going to kiss each other." ”

Mu Zhihan raised her hand and patted the back of his hand lightly, and followed him into the house.

Mrs. Mu and Li Xian sat together affectionately and talked about the old relationship, as if they were not here to talk about the family affairs of their children, but about the old friends, and they talked about marriage for a long time.

"I didn't know that Binxuan was your child, I am so satisfied with this child, we are blessed with Zhihan, and these two children are also fateful. "Mrs. Mu naturally has no objection to the marriage, and the way the marriage is handled is all up to their young people, and they do not interfere at all.

Hua Zhengfeng had something to say in front of Li Xianjing, and called Mu Zhihan: "You take your aunt and Xuan'er to visit your study, your aunt used to be a newspaper editor and likes to read books the most." ”

Mu Zhihan and Chu Binxuan helped Li Xianjing into the study.

"Mother-in-law, you are also a cheerful person, and a demure old friend, and I don't say dark words, just be straightforward. ”

"You're welcome. Mrs. Mu replied with a smile.

"You also know the situation of Xianjing, right?" Hua Zhengfeng said with a guilty face: "I have too much of her for a long time, but ......"

He choked up: "Her body can't support it for long, since the two children are also like-minded, let them get married as soon as possible, but we will not have less etiquette, the children like the etiquette of the East, they will do it according to the East, and if they like the etiquette of the West, they will do it according to the West, it is all up to them." ”

Mrs. Mu had already heard about Hua Zhengfeng and Li Xianjing, but she didn't know that the woman who made him unforgettable turned out to be her old friend.

"Let's do it according to the arrangement of our in-laws, so that Xian Jing can enjoy the joy of family in the last days, which is our common wish. ”

Li Xianjing and Mu Zhihan entered the study and took an old book in the bookcase to look through.

"This book is my mother's old book, she loves it very much, she carries it with her everywhere, does my aunt like to read it too?" Mu Zhihan asked.

"Yes, this was written by a very famous Chinese scholar at that time, and it caused quite a stir in the overseas Chinese community at that time. Li Xianjing said regretfully: "It's a pity that this talented young scholar died in an accident when he was in his prime." ”

She picked up the book and flipped through it, and suddenly a photo fell from the page, Li Xianjing wanted to bend down to pick it up, Chu Binxuan reacted quickly and hurriedly picked it up.

"Zhihan, isn't this a picture of my aunt when she was young? Who is this man? Not my uncle. Chu Binxuan looked at the man wearing glasses in the photo and asked Mu Zhihan.

Mu Zhihan took a closer look, and a pure and beautiful woman in the photo was leaning on the shoulder of a scholar wearing gold-rimmed glasses, smiling like a flower, the picture was warm and sweet, and at a glance, she knew that the relationship between the two was quite shallow.

"I ...... I don't know. Mu Zhihan had never seen this photo, let alone heard her mother mention it, and she was also confused and shook her head blankly.

"This man is the author of the book. Li Xianjing didn't understand Mu Zhihan when she saw it, thinking that Mrs. Mu had concealed it too deeply, after all, this matter had hurt her too much, and she didn't want anyone to uncover the scars in her heart, Li Xianjing ignored the curious and confused eyes of the two young people, took the photo folder close to the page of the book, closed it, and put it back in its place.
