[3Qโ รท โ .], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Saying this kind of thing in front of the elders inevitably seems a bit rebellious.
Rao is Uncle Jun who loves her again, Xu Qiaoqiao doesn't dare to guarantee that he will not be angry.
Scolding her harshly may not be likely. But at the very least, there will be some displeasure on the face.
Xu Qiaoqiao looked directly at his reaction, but saw that he was not angry but laughed. That smile seemed to be gratifying.
"Well, I hope you won't forget what you said in the future. Jun Changtian said.
"Uncle Jun......" Xu Qiaoqiao was a little confused, not sure if there was any deep meaning in his smile.
"Pretty guys, Uncle Jun is not against you being together. It's just ......" Jun Changtian frowned worriedly and sighed, and said, "This kid Muye, since he was a child, no one can guess his thoughts. Too deep, too calm, moody and invisible, in the face of no matter how difficult things are, they are also indifferent. But this is the case, but it is worrying. Since his mother's death, his heart has never been open to anyone. Including me, my father, the feelings are as cold as water. โ
When Xu Qiaoqiao heard this, her little hand covered the back of his hand and comforted: "Uncle Jun, he is just ...... He is not good at interacting with people, but he actually respects you very much. โ
Jun Changtian smiled bitterly, "Pretty girl, you don't have to comfort me, in fact, I know very well what he thinks of me." All along, he believed that I was responsible for his mother's death. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to the United States alone at the age of seventeen. Even though he still calls me Dad, I know he's never let go. โ
Xu Qiaoqiao listened to him silently.
"I really owe him so much, and his grandfather hated me when his mother died, and when he ran away from home. That will use political connections to suppress the Jun family, and the Jun family once fell into a precarious and severe situation. "In fact, with the strength of the Jun clan at that time, even if Jiang Zhen had enough power in the military and political circles, he only set strict regulations and obstacles for the Jun clan in business, but he could not completely collapse the Jun clan. It's just that he felt guilty at the time, and because it was his father-in-law, he didn't clash with him head-on, but let it go.
Fortunately, Makino came back at that time, and his grandfather didn't put pressure on the Jun clan anymore. In exchange, though, I had to transfer my share and his mother's share to Makino. And in this respect, I owe Jin Nian at the same time. At that time, I thought that at least in terms of marriage, I would be able to make a satisfactory arrangement for you, who would have thought ...... Alas!" he sighed faintly.
Xu Qiaoqiao didn't know what to say. The so-called Qing officials are difficult to judge family affairs, and there are rights and wrongs in this, and she, an outsider, has no right to speak and comment.
"When I found out that you were with Makino, I thought about his motives. Later, I knew that it was Jin Nian who was sorry for you first, and I was wondering if you really liked him. Makino's ability to work is undoubtedly outstanding. But in terms of feelings, I'm more worried that you will be wronged. โ
Xu Qiaoqiao moved her lips, and before she could speak, she saw him smile slightly, patted the back of her hand with her backhand, and said, "But now, I'm quite relieved to hand him over to you." โ
Xu Qiaoqiao's pupils constricted, and she looked at him in surprise.
"It's good to be able to make him have a lot of emotions like a normal person. Prove that at least in front of you, he doesn't have to disguise himself. Jun Changtian looked at her and said with a smile: "Do you know that when he said so resolutely in front of me that he would not return you to Jinnian, it was the first time I saw such a strong desire in his eyes." I thought he just wanted to snatch the Jin Nian from him, but I never thought that he really liked you. โ
Xu Qiaoqiao heard this, and her face turned slightly red.
"Pretty girl, since you really love each other, then, you must be together. โ
"Uncle Jun, you weren't ......"
"Pretty girl, no matter who you marry, as long as you are happy, Uncle Jun will be happy. It's just ......" He paused, groaned, and said, "His grandfather didn't really agree. You also know that in Makino's marriage, in fact, I can't be the master. In these days, those who have no money are afraid of those who have money, and those who have money are afraid of those who have power. In particular, the person Makino respects the most is his grandfather, and I don't want to see them conflict, and I don't want you to be embarrassed. โ
Xu Qiaoqiao lowered her eyes, the emotions in her eyes flashed quickly, and then she raised her eyes and pretended to be relaxed: "Commander Jiang is also a big man with a head and a face, and he will never really do anything harmful to me." Besides, I have nothing, nothing to threaten. As for Makino and his grandfather, I will advise him to communicate well. He's a measured person, and I don't think there's anything to worry about about that. โ
Xu Qiaoqiao paused, and then said: "Uncle Jun, don't worry, I won't see him become a rebellious and unfilial son who is scolded by others." โ
Jun Changtian said with relief: "Uncle Jun knows that you are a sensible child! Makino has been a withdrawn person since he was a child, and he is actually very lonely in his heart, especially after his mother left, which made him even more cold and difficult to get close to. I'm sure you can bring him happiness. โ
Will she be able to bring him happiness? That's what she wants. It's just that...... Will she really be able to do it?
He swears by it, but there are countless voices of self-denial in his heart. But even so, she was reluctant to leave. She thought, she really fell into it and couldn't extricate herself.
Then, it's okay to think she's a high climber. Even if there are countless doubting voices, as long as he wants her, she will always be there.
"By the way, Uncle Jun, in the years when he went to the United States, do you know what happened to him over there?" Xu Qiaoqiao asked suddenly. That's one of the purposes for which she came today.
Since he refused to say it, she had to find out for herself. She didn't want to dig into his privacy, she just saw that he was so anxious and wanted to do something.
Jun Changtian pondered for a while and sighed: "In the three years since I left, there has been no news, and I have never contacted my family. In the next two years, there was contact, but very rarely. โ
Xu Qiaoqiao remembered that not long after he returned to China, Jin Nian left with him. He was 22 years old that year, she was only 15 years old, and after Jin Nian left, he seemed to have officially begun to intervene in her life.
It's just that when he is an adult, his cold and arrogant majesty is even stronger. A look can scare her into hiding ten meters away, and she is careful when talking to him, as long as he is there, she feels like a robot, her limbs are so stiff that she doesn't know how to place them.
Hmm, now that I think about it, it's kind of funny and a little weird. At that time, she really never thought that their relationship would become so close one day.
But...... In fact, if you think about it, she was quite stupid at that time. Because I was too afraid of him, I didn't find out his mind from the details.
How could a person who could not be close to his family, but who took care of her aunt for the first time, personally sent her to school, and even did the occasional parent-teacher meeting, hated her? I feel that he has a cold face, which makes people really can't help but think about it.
As time passed, stereotypes became more and more entrenched.
Xu Qiaoqiao pulled back her thoughts, and thought to herself, what did he do abroad in the years when he lost contact with his family?
Seeing her frowning thoughtfully, Jun Changtian couldn't help but ask with concern, "What's wrong?"
"Uh, nothing. Xu Qiaoqiao gathered her thoughts, not wanting Uncle Jun to see anything, so she smiled casually: "I think that he is still underage, floating across the ocean alone, and life must be very difficult in a strange country." โ
Jun Changtian smiled proudly and said, "He is a very independent person, and he has rarely let adults worry about him since he was a child. โ
Xu Qiaoqiao was noncommittal. This is obvious, I don't know if it's too independent, so I developed such a self-styled personality?
At that time, none of them noticed that a figure was standing at the entrance, and he had already heard such a large conversation, and his mood was very complicated.
"Second Young Master, why are you back?" the butler found him and said loudly.
They heard the voice and turned back in unison.
Jun Jinnian quickly gathered his expression and walked over calmly.
"Dad. Jun Jinnian said hello, and then turned to her, "Qiaoqiao, you're here too." โ
Xu Qiaoqiao was a little surprised, but quickly recovered and smiled at him, her attitude was a little raw and embarrassed.
For the current Jun Jinnian, she really hasn't figured out what kind of identity she should face him. Before she lost her memory, she had to keep her distance from him. And after he lost his memory for her injury, it was not good for her to be too close, too cold and a little ungrateful.
I don't know how he thinks of their relationship now. She was afraid that he would continue to drill the horns.
Fortunately, Jun Jinnian's eyes when she looked at her didn't seem to be as persistent as when she first woke up.
"Jinnian, you...... How's your body recovering?" she asked.
Jun Jinnian's smile was as warm and elegant as before, and he replied in a low voice calmly: "Well, it's almost good, but I haven't remembered the past." โ
Xu Qiaoqiao said: "Well, it's done." Remembering this kind of thing, if you can't rush it, you also need an appropriate opportunity. โ
"yes, let it be. I can't remember it, but it doesn't have much impact on my current life and work. He said.
Xu Qiaoqiao was relieved when she heard him say this.
Jun Changtian stood up and asked, "Jin Nian, why did you come back suddenly?"
"I have a copy left at home. He said.
"Dad, then you guys talk first, I'll go upstairs first. โ
Jun Changtian nodded.
Xu Qiaoqiao stared thoughtfully at his back.
Jun Changtian turned his head sideways, looked at her contemplative expression, and smiled, "What are you looking at?"
Xu Qiaoqiao hurriedly retracted her gaze and said, "It's nothing, it's just that it's good to see Jinnian's current state." In fact, curiously, his overly calm attitude was like two people when he followed the hospital.
Jun Changtian looked at her and said quietly: "Jin Nian has already figured it out, so you don't have to feel any burden." โ
Xu Qiaoqiao didn't know if Uncle Jun was blaming her for what he said. However, she privately felt that this was not a new beginning. Instead of dwelling on that irretrievable awkward relationship, it is better to forget and return to the beginning.
โฆโฆ
Xu Qiaoqiao chatted with Jun Changtian for a while, until Jun Changtian's old friend called, and they talked about the old days on the phone, so she got up and left and came to the lawn in the backyard.
On the lawn in the backyard, the shade is covered by thick shades, and green shadows are chasing. Under a big tree, a white thousand autumn is set up with green vines, and the vines are dotted with purple flowers, which looks romantic and beautiful. She used to love to play with this.
Xu Qiaoqiao walked over, sat on the swing, raised her legs, and gently swung it.
The sun was just right, shining through the trees, and the mottled light and shadow fell on the little white face of Qiongyu. The breeze blows a few strands of hair that fall down the cheeks. Wearing a flowing white drop-shoulder chiffon skirt, she looks like an elf under a tree from a distance.
Xu Qiaoqiao indulged in this pleasant climate, closed her eyes slightly, and immersed herself in thoughts.
At this moment, a long figure slowly approached.
When he stood beside him, Xu Qiaoqiao felt the breath of someone, suddenly opened her eyes, and suddenly saw Jun Jinnian who appeared in front of her, and subconsciously stood up from the swing, but the swing had not stopped, and she was caught off guard, so she staggered and pounced.
