Chapter 23: The Feast of the Hung Gate

Youlanxuan, Xia Xizhi was dressed in a lady's dress, stepped on high heels, and walked up to the second floor elegantly. This afternoon, Xia Zhengguo called her and said that they would have dinner together in the evening. Although he didn't know what he wanted to do, Xia Xizhi still came to the appointment obediently.

When I came to the box, I pushed open the door, and a smell came to my nose. I saw that Xia Zhengguo was already sitting in his position. Seeing her, he spoke amiably: "Xia Xizhi, you are here." Come, sit down next to Daddy. ”

Xia Xizhi nodded at him and said sensibly: "Dad." With that, he sat down beside him.

Looking at her, Xia Zhengguo said gently: "Xia Xizhi, you and your mother look more and more alike, they are both so beautiful." There are all kinds of charms, so that men fall in love at first sight. ”

Listening to his words, Xia Xizhi sneered in his heart. Back then, Xia Zhengguo only fell in love with her mother's beauty, so he would hide the fact that he was married and deliberately approached her. Unexpectedly, after her appearance faded, Xia Zhengguo's indifferent and unsympathetic side was revealed.

With a smile on his lips, Xia Xizhi put his hands in front of him: "I'm very glad that my parents can give me this beautiful face, in ordinary life, it has helped me a lot." ”

Hearing her words, Xia Zhengguo took her hand and said with self-blame: "Child, Dad has been blaming himself all these years. Since I was a child, I have not been able to stay with your mother and daughter to take care of you. Back then, he also forced you to marry Ji Xiuyu instead of Xueqi. Xia Xizhi, do you resent your father?"

Looking at his expression, Xia Xizhi's eyes were full of doubts. She didn't understand why Xia Zhengguo suddenly came to this drama. Although he hated it in his heart, Xia Xizhi still replied with a smile: "I don't blame my father, I only blame my own bad life." ”

Patting her hand, Xia Zhengguo said apologetically: "It's Dad who can't stand you." Xia's company has not been operating well over the years, and it has always relied on your aunt's family for help. Coupled with the matter with your mother, I have always felt guilty about your aunt. That's why when your aunt begged me to let you marry instead, I reluctantly agreed. Kid, Daddy is sorry for you. ”

As he spoke, Xia Zhengguo's eyes flashed with tears. Seeing him express his feelings sincerely, Xia Xizhi was suddenly moved. "Dad, it's okay, it's all over. Ji Xiuyu and I are going to divorce, and when I divorce him, everything will be over. Xia Xizhi replied with a smile.

"Yes, since we can't change the divorce, let's look at the opening of the store. Dad promised you that he would love you well in the future and make up for the lack of love over the years. Maybe I'm getting older, I don't know when it's going to be gone, and I don't want to have too many regrets. Xia Zhengguo said with emotion.

Looking at his sentimental appearance, Xia Xizhi was a little unbearable. Over the years, in fact, in her heart, she has been longing for Xia Zhengguo to share his love for Xia Xueqi with her. "Dad, don't talk nonsense, you will live a hundred years. Mom has a spirit in the sky, and she will bless you with good health. Xia Xizhi said with a smile.

Xia Zhengguo nodded and said enthusiastically, "Okay, good." Today, Dad made an appointment with a friend to come to dinner together, Uncle Yang, do you remember? He is also a bit famous in City A, and more contact will help you in your work. In the future, the Xia family will still have to rely on you two sisters. ”

Seeing him think so much about himself, Xia Xizhi smiled brightly, "Well, okay." ”

After a while, Xia Zhengguo's friend came. I saw that the man was seventy or eighty years old, his face was full of wrinkles, and his hair was gray. Seeing him, Xia Xizhi got up and greeted politely: "Uncle Yang." ”

Uncle Yang looked Xia Xizhi up and down, with a strong smile on his face: "Xia Xizhi, I haven't seen you for two or three years, and she is really more beautiful." It is also generous and temperamental. ”

Listening to his compliment, Xia Xizhi replied politely: "Thank you Uncle Yang for the compliment, this is also my father's good education." ”

Xia Zhengguo smiled from ear to ear, and said proudly: "My daughter has always been very sensible, Yang Lao, what do you think?"

"Okay, I like this girl very much. Uncle Yang replied with a smile on his face.

Listening to their conversation, Xia Xizhi's eyes flashed with doubts. I always felt that their words sounded a little strange, but I didn't think much about it.

Uncle Yang came, and the waiter began to serve the food. Xia Zhengguo kindly served Xia Xizhi with vegetables, just like a father who loved his daughter, Xia Xizhi was a little flattered. Despite this, Xia Xizhi still felt warm. I don't remember how long it has been, Xia Zhengguo has not treated her so kindly.

It's just that I don't know if it's an illusion, Xia Xizhi felt that Uncle Yang's eyes had been staying on her. That kind of scrutiny made her instinctively a little repulsed. But he is about the same age as his grandfather, and he is Xia Zhengguo's friend, so Xia Xizhi is not easy to say.

After eating for about half an hour, Xia Zhengguo suddenly received a call from the company and had to leave in an emergency. "Xia Xizhi, Dad has to go to the company now, so I will let you come and greet you Uncle Yang. Xia Zhengguo patted Xia Xizhi's shoulder and said.

Seeing that his expression was a little anxious, Xia Xizhi nodded: "Well, okay." Dad, go get busy, I'll entertain Uncle Yang. ”

Xia Zhengguo exchanged a few words with Uncle Yang, then got up and left in a hurry. Although the atmosphere was a little awkward, Xia Xizhi continued to eat with a smile.

While eating, Xia Xizhi suddenly felt a little hot. Uncle Yang saw her face and asked with concern, "Xia Xizhi, why is your face so red?"

Fanning the wind with his hand, Xia Xizhi raised his head and looked at the box, and explained with a smile: "Maybe the air is not very circulating, and it is a little stuffy." ”

Listening to her words, Uncle Yang took her hand and said cordially: "So that's the case, why don't we sit in another place?"

Xia Xizhi shook his hands and replied with a sneer: "Don't be so troublesome. ”

As he was talking, Xia Xizhi only felt that the heat was getting higher and higher. That feeling made her a little uneasy. "Uncle Yang, I'll go to the bathroom first. Xia Xizhi just stood up after speaking, but found that his legs were a little weak. With a plop, he sat down in his seat again. Seeing this, Xia Xizhi suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Uncle Yang looked at her directly, and his wrinkled face piled up a smile that made her timid: "It's not too early, why don't you send you back?" As he spoke, Uncle Yang grabbed her hand strongly.

Instinctively pushing his hand away, Xia Xizhi's lips were biting tightly. She felt a little dizzy in her head, and the things in front of her were ghosted. On the other hand, the heat continues to rise. She realized that she had been drugged.

Seeing that Uncle Yang was about to stretch out his hand again, Xia Xizhi immediately grabbed the water cup in front of him and threw it towards him. Taking advantage of the moment he arrived with his hands, Xia Xizhi got up with both hands on the table, and ran towards the door with all his strength.

Xia Xizhi was sitting a little far away from the door, and finally came to the door, just pushed the door open, and didn't have time to run out, but was grabbed by Uncle Yang's wrist. "Ahh
