Chapter 171: In the midst of an indescribable low tide
Probably because Gu Suiyun's words when he left were so heart-wrenching and realistic, that the entire Xu family was immersed in an indescribable low tide.
Even Xu Yuan, who has always cared about everything, discovered an abnormality in the family.
First of all, for many years, Xu Yi, who had always said that Su Qingyu would not dare to go west, refuted the former's face one after another, and then used the excuse of integrating the company to check the accounts, and simply did not return home, which was almost never done in the Xu family.
Su Qingyu and Xu Yi have been married for decades, on the one hand, because the Su family was bigger than the Xu family, Xu Yi also relied on a lot of efforts of the Su family to have the current scale of Wancheng Real Estate, and on the other hand, Su Qingyu himself is a very strong character, not to mention that the two worked together after marriage to create a well-known Wancheng Real Estate.
In the case of the woman's outstanding ability, Xu Yi naturally wanted to avoid her edge, so he tolerated Su Qingyu in every way for ten years.
But now that the Su family has such a foolish thing as Su Xu, the entire Su family has to rely on the Xu family, and Su Qingyu is also getting older, spending more on her daughter and letting go of the company, Xu Yi has the opportunity to take charge of himself and enjoy the pleasure brought by power.
Because of Gu Suiyun's repentance, although the current situation of Wancheng Real Estate is not an exaggeration, Xu Yi is not in a hurry to clean up, but blindly complains that Su Qingyu is not able to turn the tide, and even accuses her of not teaching her daughter well.
In this way, the conflict between the husband and wife is even more intensified.
Su Qingyu stayed alone in the empty room for several days, and the whole person became haggard, as if she couldn't do anything, and even refused the invitations of the noble ladies she had befriended in the past one by one, and only trapped herself in the Xu family's villa.
The Xu family saw the changes in the past few days, and while cherishing her in their hearts, they hated themselves a little for not being successful, but more because they didn't understand Xu Yi's style of acting.
On this day, after she got up and freshened up, she went downstairs to have breakfast as usual, and before she could finish down, she saw Su Qingyu sitting in the living room below holding an old photo in a daze, and she couldn't help but wonder, but she was not surprised.
She didn't go to the restaurant, but walked straight to Su Qingyu's side, and when she got to the front, before she saw a corner of the photo in her hand, she was noticed by the other party, so she simply greeted her crisply: "Mom, this early in the morning, why are you sitting in the living room in a daze!"
Su Qingyu first noticed that someone was coming, so she couldn't help but be a little panicked, and subconsciously wanted to hide the photo, but when she heard her daughter's voice in an instant, she breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as she looked up, she saw Xu Yuan looking at the photo hidden behind her with curiosity, Su Qingyu couldn't help but be stunned, and after a while, she pulled the corners of her mouth unnaturally.
She wasn't sure if her daughter had seen it, but looking at her curious eyes, it was difficult to spread the sorrow behind her, so she had to take out the photo generously, and put it on the coffee table casually as if she didn't care.
"It's nothing, it's just that when I was packing up, I found an old photo, so I took it out and wiped it. ”
Xu Yuan responded casually, but her eyes fell directly on the photo, and then moved to Su Qingyu's face for a while, coming and going a few times, and then she endured and endured, and still couldn't hold back the doubt.
"Mom, this ...... Is that you?"
It's not a particularly important photo, or even a secret that can't be seen.
Above are two young women, each holding a child, looking at the camera with a calm smile, and for a while there is a feeling of quiet years.
As Xu Yuan recognized, the woman holding the slightly older child in it was Su Qingyu, and it was Xu Yuan in her arms.
As for the other one, Xu Yuan looked a little familiar, but she really didn't have any impression, and after getting Su Qingyu's nodding affirmative answer to the previous question, she pointed to the other one.
"And what about this? Why don't I seem to have seen it before?"
mentioned the other woman in the photo, Su Qingyu seemed to have suddenly lost her voice, opened her mouth but didn't say a word for a long time, and even she, who had always been strong and almost never cried in front of people, had red eyes without warning.
Xu Yuan didn't expect that she would cry her mother just by casually asking a question, and she was very helpless at the moment, and hesitated for a long time before slowly sitting next to her and patting her on the back awkwardly.
After a while, Su Qingyu slowly recovered her mood, quietly wiped the almost invisible tears from the corners of her eyes, and then took the initiative to point to the other person in the photo and introduced Xu Yuan very solemnly.
"This is none other than your aunt, who died when you were very young, and she was holding her only daughter in her arms, half a year younger than you, but soon after your aunt died, she was also taken away and disappeared, and it is normal that you have not seen it. ”
"Oh. ”
It was the first time Xu Yuan had heard about the old things from her mother's mouth, and although she felt a little regretful about this aunt and cousin she had never met, she was more curious.
She has always known that her mother is the eldest daughter of the Su family, and there is a younger sister and younger brother below, this sister is said to have died young, but the rest of the situation is obscure, as for the younger brother, Su Xu is such an unsuccessful person.
And it wasn't until she saw this photo that she knew that her aunt, who died early, was also married and had children.
"What about my uncle? Although my aunt died and my cousin disappeared, I must have had some contacts after so many years!
mentioned her sister's husband, Su Qingyu's expression was very cold, and even swept away the previous sad emotions, and the whole person became a little embarrassed.
Such a reluctant look aroused the curiosity in Xu Yuan's heart, and Su Qingyu couldn't stand her daughter's coquettish questioning, so she had to reply perfunctorily: "He went abroad later and cut off contact with our family." ”
Although Xu Yuan was unwilling to get this ambiguous answer, after thinking about it, she felt that if the aunt was still there, then the aunt would naturally be a family with them, but now not only the aunt is gone, but even the cousin who is connected by blood is missing, and it is understandable that the aunt is alone and has cut off contact with this side.
She was sighing faintly, the Xu family seemed to have really reached a dilemma, and there was no one to hold the handle, Xu Yuan was about to take advantage of the victory to ask Su Qingyu about Xu Yi's question, but as soon as the words came to her mouth, she heard the other party take the lead.
"Yuanyuan, do you have any plans for the future?"
"Plans?" Xu Yuan didn't quite understand.
From childhood to adulthood, everything she did was arranged by her parents, and her life trajectory developed step by step according to their expectations, except for a bold escape from marriage, but it ended in failure, and she tasted all the hardships outside, and now she doesn't want to do anything, just wait for her parents to arrange it, after all, they will not harm her.
But now, Su Qingyu asked her what her plans were, and for a while, she was a little worried, didn't her parents plan to care about her?
Su Qingyu naturally saw her daughter's uneasiness, patted the back of her hand soothingly, and then tried not to hurt her tentative proposal: "You see that kid from the Gu family is determined to cancel the marriage contract with our family and marry Ji Ran, it won't be interesting for us to continue to post upside down, I think, if you can't let go of the road, then ......"
"Mom, what do you mean?"
Hearing that she actually pulled the topic to Lu Yize's body, Xu Yuan's face turned pale instantly, and she stopped drinking directly without waiting for her to finish speaking, not wanting her to mention this past again.
But Su Qingyu thought clearly, don't look at the Xu family now has a name for the marriage of the Gu family, but when Gu Suiyun announces the cancellation of the marriage contract, problems will inevitably follow, and the first thing to break out will inevitably be the financial crisis of Wancheng Real Estate, and the Xu family will fall directly out of the list of celebrities in City C.
At that time, it will be difficult for Xu Yuan to find a good man who is satisfactory and has the right door.
Immediately ignoring Xu Yuan's resistance, Su Qingyu hesitated for a moment, and continued to say the following words: "After all, he has grown up with your father and I since childhood, and there must be no problem with his ability. ”
was persuaded by Su Qingyu's words, Xu Yuan was unexpectedly good, but when she thought about it, she thought of the fact that Lu Yize was ruthless in sending herself back, and suddenly the streamer in her eyes narrowed, and she vetoed it again with great disapproval.
"Mom, it's just over if you think about these things in your heart, Lu Yize and I are now the bridge and the bridge and the road are back, and we don't interact with each other, it's not interesting to mention these again, you have time to think about this, it's better to pick and choose, even if the marriage contract between me and Gu Suiyun is canceled, I will definitely not be able to find someone worse than him in the future." ”
Seeing that her daughter was so determined, Su Qingyu also felt that her idea was unstable, so she no longer insisted, and only asked if there was a suitable candidate she knew around her.
Although Xu Yuan has been studying in a noble school according to the arrangement of Xu Yi and his wife since she was a child, her temperament and personality are not good, and her popularity is average, not to mention that at that time, she was accompanied by Ji Ran and Lu Yize, and she never deliberately developed her connections.
As soon as she heard Su Qingyu ask about her friends, how could she be embarrassed to say that since she was a child, there were only Ji Ran and Lu Yize by her side, so she directly excused herself to eat breakfast when she was hungry, got up and let the restaurant go.
But in her mind, Su Qingyu kept thinking of the scene where she earnestly proposed to find Lu Yize back and enter Wancheng as a son-in-law to take on the big responsibility.
Shaking his head several times failed to extinguish the sprout in his heart, Xu Yuan still had some intention in his heart after all.
Let's give Lu Yize a call later!
