Chapter 37: We're like this, aren't we?
Soon, Xia Xizhi and Ji Xiuyu's loving interaction in front of the ** building and in the restaurant was widely spread. Xia Xizhi suddenly changed from an object of sympathy to an envied woman. The rumors about the imminent divorce of the two were forgotten in an instant.
In the ancestral house of the Ji family, Ji Xiuyu supported the old man Ji and slowly walked on the cobblestone road. "Child, your leg is finally healed, and I can let go of this concern. The old man said kindly.
Supporting him, Ji Xiuyu said respectfully: "Thank you grandpa for your concern, and I still want to be grateful to grandpa for not giving up and sending me for treatment." Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of my life. ”
In the Ji family, the only person Ji Xiuyu is grateful to is Old Man Ji. When Xiuyu was accidentally disabled, all the doctors said that he would never be able to stand up again in his life. Father Ji gave up directly, but Old Man Ji insisted that he must be treated. After many inquiries, he was sent out of the country.
"Do you still blame your dad? He went a little too far, but he's still your dad. I think he still loves you. The old man said slowly.
Speaking of him, Ji Xiuyu was cold: "I don't care if he loves or not." I'm no longer the kid I used to be, and I don't need any handouts. ”
Raising his head and seeing his indifference, the old man sighed softly. He knew that the contradiction between Ji Xiuyu and Ji's father could not be resolved in a while.
"Xiuyu, grandpa can't stand you. At the beginning, your father gave the inheritance of the Ji family to Xiu Ming, but I couldn't do anything. The old man said with a sigh.
Ji Xiuyu was originally the heir of the Ji Group, and the accident that year caused him to lose both legs. Father Ji not only didn't think about healing, but even used this name to deprive him of his inheritance rights and make Ji Xiuming the heir of the company.
With a blank look, Ji Xiuyu said indifferently: "This matter has passed." ”
Nodding, the old man said approvingly: "You are now the chairman of Zhongkai Group, a well-known multinational enterprise. Child, you make Grandpa proud. ”
Helping the old man to move forward slowly, Ji Xiuyu responded with a smile: "I was just making a mistake for myself, and I was also surprised that Zhongkai Group could have today's results." ”
Hearing this, the old man smiled kindly: "You have been very smart since you were a child, and you have a business management mind, which is much better than your father." The Ji family has been making a lot of trouble recently, Xiu Yu, why don't you help the Ji family?"
"They'll manage it, and I don't have to worry about it. Ji Xiuyu politely refused.
Knowing what he meant, the old man sighed softly and was not embarrassed: "I saw the news, it seems that you and Xia Xizhi are getting along well." Now, are you still planning to get a divorce?"
With a faint smile on his face, Ji Xiuyu replied calmly: "Probably not, if you are destined to maintain a marriage relationship with someone, I hope it is her." ”
Hearing his words, the old man looked at her puzzled: "Do you like her?"
Do you like it? Ji Xiuyu looked at the front and said hoarsely: "I like this thing, I won't say it easily." Once you say it, you don't change your mind. ”
Looking at him, the old man stopped: "Xiuyu, can you forgive your father for the sake of me?" He just loves that woman too much. ”
With disdain on his face, Ji Xiuyu said coldly: "A sanctimonious reason, want to get rid of the relationship? If he really loves her so much, he wouldn't marry my mother for the benefit of the family." And I will not hurt the people I love for the sake of profit. ”
Patting her on the shoulder, the old man said earnestly: "Well, it's best to think like this." Be a man with a sense of responsibility, whether it's a career or a family. If you don't like Xia Xizhi, you can find a better woman. After all, in this marriage, you are not willing to marry her. ”
Xia Xizhi's face appeared in front of him, and the smile in Ji Xiuyu's eyes deepened. "I'm really attracted to her, she's a very special girl. But I don't know how far my feelings have come for her. After all, I don't have much time to spend with him. Ji Xiuyu replied honestly.
"Didn't you say you had a two-year term with her? There are still a few months left for you to think about. The old man said kindly, "Since you were a child, you have always been very assertive, so you don't need to worry about you." ”
Ji Xiuyu looked at his wrinkled face and said gently, "Grandpa, you have to take good care of yourself." ”
Smiling and patting his arm, the old man replied kindly, "Don't worry, grandpa's body is still tough." ”
Sending the old man back to the room, Ji Xiuyu was about to leave the Ji family's ancestral house. When I passed by the living room, I happened to bump into Mrs. Ji.
Seeing him, Mrs. Ji's eyes flashed with surprise, but she quickly smiled: "Xiuyu, are you here to visit your father?
Stopping, Ji Xiuyu replied coldly: "No." ”
"Do you still live outside by yourself? Why don't you move back home? For more than ten years, you have lived alone outside, and it is not easy to come back now, so it is better to go home, live together as a family, and take care of each other. Mrs. Ji kindly suggested.
With one hand in his trouser pocket, Ji Xiuyu's eyes were cold: "No, I'm used to being alone." After speaking, Ji Xiuyu stopped talking nonsense with her and left without looking back. At the beginning of the lanterns, Xia Xizhi had dinner and walked boredly on the street. Today is Tuesday, and she used to go to the hotel on time for her appointment. Now that it suddenly stopped, Xia Xizhi suddenly felt very unaccustomed. The feeling of emptiness that I don't know what to do has been haunting my heart.
Unconsciously, Xia Xizhi came outside the hotel. Raising his head and looking at the room on the top floor, Xia Xizhi was a little distracted. Inexplicably, I began to miss the times when I was ** with Ji Xiuyu. At that time, she didn't have to think too much, she just had to vent herself indulgently.
Retracting his gaze, he looked ahead, only to see a tall man standing not far away. The two were a few meters apart, and he was looking at her. Surprise flashed in his eyes, and Xia Xizhi took the lead in raising his steps. "Why are you here?" Xia Xizhi pretended to speak calmly.
Seeing her, Ji Xiuyu smiled lightly: "I'm used to coming here today, and so are you?"
Hearing this, Xia Xizhi's cheeks turned red, and he replied calmly: "I just happened to pass by and was about to leave." ”
Raising his hand and landing on her head, Ji Xiuyu smiled lightly: "It's just right, let's take a walk together." Saying that, without giving her a chance to refuse, Ji Xiuyu took her hand and walked straight to the road.
He held his hand, and the warm palm transmitted the heat. Seeing this, Xia Xizhi's cheeks rose with warmth. "We're like this, isn't it okay?" Xia Xizhi asked in a slightly floating voice.
Ji Xiuyu raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Why?
His ears were red, and Xia Xizhi shook his head: "No." ”
