Chapter 2, The Black Cauldron
Rewind time to a month ago -
"Grandma, you suddenly called me back to my hometown for this woman?" Xu Disheng stroked his forehead, wanted to lose his temper but couldn't, grandma is his only and most important relative, he can disobey anyone, but he can't disobey grandma.
Hearing Xu Disheng use "this woman" to describe Qianyi, her grandmother glared: "What is this woman called!" She has a name, her name is Qianyi, and she is the eldest lady of the Qianjia family. ”
Speaking of thousands of families, everyone in City A knows it. Fengyun can cover the sky with one hand in the entire city of A City, and the thousand families are one of them. However, isn't the eldest lady of the Qianjia Qianjing, when did she become Qianyi? Xu Disheng frowned and asked, "Why haven't I heard that the Qianjia still has a daughter named Qianyi, or the eldest miss?"
Looking at the bright girl with a clean smile in the photo, grandma remembered that she always tried her best to show her very lively and cheerful appearance in front of her, and couldn't help but laugh gently, but the smile was a little sad, she thought that she was hiding behind her back and secretly sad, grandma didn't know. It's just that she knows that she is also a child with high self-esteem, so grandma didn't say anything: "This, you don't have to know." In short, you have to marry her. ”
"Grandma, what did you say?" Xu Disheng, who was talking in a good manner, suddenly stood up from the sofa, no wonder he had such a big reaction, he and Qianyi had never met in their lives, and they were asked to marry by their grandmother before they met. He frowned coldly, it was hard to imagine that his grandmother, who had always been reasonable, would make such an unreasonable request. Grandma brought up Xu Disheng since she was a child, and it is estimated that no one knows him better than her, and she knows what he is thinking about when she looks like this, so she immediately interrupted his thoughts: "I want you to marry Qianyi, this matter has nothing to do with Qianyi." ”
It doesn't matter what it means, is it that she knows that her grandmother wants her to marry him, and she has no objection to acquiesce, because it was all grandma's idea, or she didn't know it at all, obviously Xu Disheng believed in the former possibility. He is a golden bachelor who is famous in City A, and there are countless people who want to climb into his bed and become her woman.
It's just that I don't know when Qianyi actually caught up with her grandmother.
Xu Disheng lowered his eyelids, collected the emotions in them, and then raised his eyes to his grandmother's pupils that had become cloudy after years of tempering: "Grandma, I don't know the eldest lady of the Qianjia family at all, how can two people who have never even met become husband and wife?"
"Then grandma asked you, do you have anyone you like?"
Xu Disheng shook his head without hesitation.
Feelings can be cultivated, and if you don't like Qianyi now, it doesn't mean you won't like it in the future. "What kind of medicine did the woman pour into her grandmother, and she seemed determined to marry her.
didn't want to discuss this matter with grandma anymore, Xu Disheng picked up the car keys, walked up to grandma and kissed grandma's forehead, then strode out of the villa, and instructed Steward Li: "Take good care of grandma." ”
Steward Li said humbly: "Young master, rest assured!"
Seeing that Xu Disheng was leaving, grandma slapped the table hard, and suddenly said sharply: "Stop!"
Xu Disheng paused, turned around and said, "Grandma, I can't marry a woman I haven't even met before. ”
When grandma heard this, she directly threw him a back: "You have to marry if you marry, and you have to marry if you don't marry!"
"Grandma, why do you insist that I marry her?" Xu Disheng's brows furrowed, he was extremely dissatisfied and puzzled.
A month ago, Qian Yi and her grandmother agreed to meet her, but in the end she missed the appointment. Grandma realizes that things are not so simple, and orders the housekeeper to find out the truth, only to learn that Chii was seriously injured by her stepmother again. Grandma was trembling with anger, but she had no qualifications and reasons to be angry for her, in Qianyi's eyes, she was just an ordinary old man, how could she know what Qianyi herself didn't say, she didn't know that she was Xu Disheng's own grandmother, and she didn't know that grandma forced her grandson to marry her in order to take her from Qianjia and prevent her from being bullied. Only by making her the daughter-in-law of the Xu family can everything be justified.
And grandma believes that one day, Xu Disheng will definitely fall in love with Qianyi because of her kindness. Speaking of which may be out of selfishness, grandma really wants Qianyi to be with her grandson, a person of her age, she has read countless people, she has seen the good and the bad, Qianyi, but she likes it the most.
Even if he was coldly regarded and even abused by his father, he was still bound by love.
But grandma forgot that the twisted melon is not sweet.
Grandma turned her back to Xu Disheng and said word by word: "If you don't marry her, I will treat you as a grandson, and in the future, you will not be allowed to set foot in this family again!"
Xu Disheng stared at his grandmother's almost indifferent back in shock, he never thought that his grandmother would threaten him with this. His hands slowly tightened under his sleeves, and a breath of air spilled into his chest, and he couldn't see through it.
As long as a century has passed, Xu Disheng took a deep breath, finally slowly loosened his clenched fist, and said indifferently: "Okay, I'll marry." ”
The grandmother, who was facing Xu Disheng, suddenly hooked the corners of her mouth, and she knew that in the end, he would definitely agree. No matter what the process is, he can't twist the temper of a stubborn old man after all.
"However, I also have a condition. ”
Grandma immediately put away the corners of her mouth and asked slowly, "What conditions?"
"I promised my grandmother to marry her, but I won't hold a wedding, I won't let anyone know that we are husband and wife, and if I still don't like her after half a year, you have to promise us a divorce. "Anyone can delay the army, Xu Disheng should inherit his grandmother first, and when he returns to City A, he has a way to make Qianyi unable to marry, anyway, at that time, grandma just wants to take care of it, and her hand can't be stretched out so long.
Grandma thought about it, and a fine light flashed in her eyes: "Grandma promised you, but you also have to promise grandma, in the past half a year, you must live with Qianyi!"
Xu Dishengjun's eyebrows furrowed, and he finally said "yes".
On the way back to City A, Xu Disheng sent someone to Qianjia to meet the large and small families of Qianjia, but the news he got was that the eldest lady of Qianjia was now a bride-to-be and could not see anyone. He laughed, it turned out that unconsciously, he had already been put on the table.
When investigating the reason, he found that his grandmother gave 100 million to thousands of families.
He also found out that this 100 million was secretly allocated by his grandmother to thousands of families.
The old man never thought that his grandson would find out on her bank card bill, which she hadn't used for many years.
But it was this 100 million that completely harmed Qianyi.
100 million is really nothing to the Xu family, but it is this 100 million, which makes Xu Disheng suspicious.
When Assistant Fang handed the bill to Xu Disheng, the latter was really stunned, and the word dowry was written on the bill.
Xu Disheng's eyes sank, the dowry was only 100 million?
What made his eyes deeper was the place where the 100 million went-Qianyi.
As a dowry, it was not given to Qianyi's parents, but to Qianyi himself.
Assistant Fang handed over the results of the investigation of Qianyi in a few days, and the ancestral home of the Qianjia family was next to the Xu family. Chie will go to the countryside when she has the chance. Half a year ago, she swaggered into Xu's house and officially met Grandma Xu. Since then, the two have become inextricably linked.
Assistant Fang also investigated that the reason why Qianyi would return to the countryside, and the reason why the outside world only knew that Qianjing didn't know Qianyi was because she had a vicious stepmother.
Xu Disheng knocked on the tabletop, and a dark light burst out of his eyes.
In order to get rid of the vicious stepmother, he approached his grandmother, tried to marry him and then let himself fly on the branches and become a phoenix - so he tried his best to please his grandmother, in order to show that he was not a money slave, the dowry was only 100 million.
Perhaps, she is indeed not a money slave, just to get rid of her stepmother.
But the man is used to being cold-blooded, whether Qianyi is trying to get rid of his stepmother or really regards money as his life, it is none of his business. She shouldn't have put her mind on her grandmother.
"Use all means to prevent her from seeing her grandmother again. Xu Disheng squinted his eyes slightly and said coldly.
Don't talk about 100 million, Qianyi is not even worth a cent in his eyes.
In fact, although the 100 million was transferred to Qianyi's account, what ended up in the hands of Qianbaili was Qianbaili, which was the hush money given by Qianbaili from her grandmother. Don't divulge anything to Chii, especially her news. She didn't want Qianyi to know that she was Xu Disheng's grandmother for the time being, otherwise Qianyi would never agree to marry Xu Disheng. She wanted to bring the two of them together, and she wanted to rescue Qianyi from Qianjia, so she had no choice but to make this decision.
Poor Qianyi has been kept in the dark, completely disgusted by a man who has never even met face-to-face, a big misunderstanding lies between him and her, and she has become the one who carries the black pot.
——
Xu Disheng went downstairs and saw Zhang's mother, he couldn't help frowning slightly, his handsome face was full of coldness, and when he stepped out of the old house, a cold voice slowly came into Zhang's mother's ears: "The company has important matters." ”
It means that he had to go back to the company to deal with important matters so he didn't spend the night here, Zhang's mother was stunned for a moment, and Xu Disheng left for a while before she realized what he meant. After thinking about it, Zhang's mother still called her grandmother: "Old lady, the young master has gone out." The young master said that the company had important matters, and he went over to deal with it. ”
Grandma took a few deep breaths, and on the first day she got married, he snubbed Qianyi like this. Mother Zhang heard that the grandmother on the other end of the flashlight did not speak, and guessed that the other end was angry, she hurriedly said: "The old lady must not call and scold the young master at this time, the emotional matter still depends on each other's running-in, the old lady originally forced the young master to marry the young lady and the young master has resentment in her heart, if the old lady forces the young master again, I am afraid that it will backfire." ”
Originally, Xu Disheng was arrogant.
Grandma was silent for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "You take good care of the young lady, call me whenever there is anything." ”
"Okay, old lady, you should rest early. ”
The grandmother who hung up the phone sat on the sofa for a long time, and sure enough, she was too anxious.
Chii woke up the next day in the sun, and the pain from her body made her gasp and remind her of her nightmare last night. She looked at the bruises and purple wounds on her body, curled up in a ball on the bed with exhaustion, tears wet the bedding, she wanted to stop but couldn't stop, everyone bullied her, everyone hated her......
"Young lady!" was different from every voice she had heard at home before, they were cold mixed with undisguised disgust. And the voice from outside the door was the same as the feeling given to her by the only old man she had met in the ancestral countryside of the Thousand Families who gave her warmth, faint, but warm.
Seeing that there was no response from inside, Zhang's mother knocked again and asked softly, "Young lady, are you awake?"
Qianyi wiped away her tears indiscriminately, and when she wanted to get up, she was involved in the pain on her body, she lay on the bed, trying her best to make her voice sound as smooth as usual: "Mom Zhang, is there something wrong?"
"I cooked porridge, but the young lady never came down for breakfast, and the most important thing of the day is breakfast, and I brought it to you. Mama Zhang's voice was a little smiling, and her face was faintly loving. Even if Qianyi couldn't see the expression on Zhang's mother's face, she could feel that Zhang's mother cared about her.
"Thank you, Mom, Zhang, I just woke up, I'll go down and drink porridge later. Qianyi struggled to prop herself up from the bed as she spoke, enduring the pain and getting out of bed.
Mama Zhang's gentle voice continued to come from outside the door: "Okay, then the young lady, I'll go down first." ”
Qianyi didn't speak, he propped up the bed and walked to the bathroom step by step, the pain from under her body made her almost fall to the ground several times, fine cold sweat spilled on her forehead, she leaned against the wall into the bathroom, and struggled to put hot water in the bathtub, before the water was full, she went straight in. The warm touch spread through the whole body little by little, and finally relieved the pain all over the body. She soaked for half an hour, and when she came out of the bathroom, she found that she still couldn't walk like an ordinary person, she climbed back into bed and waited for Zhang's mother to knock on the door again.
When Mama Zhang saw the wound on Qianyi's collarbone and the uncovered blue and purple on her arm, she immediately understood.
Looking at Zhang's mother's suddenly ambiguous gaze, Qianyi hung her head shyly, but in Zhang's mother's eyes, it became a proof that Xu Disheng and Qianyi were still in love.
