Chapter 19: Selling Daughters
"Oh, that's ......"
Halfway through speaking, Shu Xinyan suddenly raised her head, thinking that she had heard it wrong, blinked her eyes, and asked with a face full of surprise, "You agreed?!"
Lin Xiao smiled and nodded: "Well, help people to the end, send the Buddha to the west, that Shi Haoming is not a good thing, it is naturally best to be able to do it once and for all." ”
Shu Xinyan hummed lightly, and the tiredness between her eyebrows was also relieved a lot.
She has always been fighting alone before, Shi Haoming's methods are not too clever, but it makes her feel tired of coping, if it weren't for Lin Xiao's appearance, it would only be a matter of time before she married Shi Haoming.
And marrying someone she doesn't love, this is very difficult for Shu Xinyan to accept, she has always adhered to the belief that she would rather be lacking than abundant, and would rather not get married than become a substitute for marriage and a tool for childbearing.
Lin Xiao didn't say more, and asked Shu Xinyan to go to the school gate first, and he went to the bottom of the teaching building to explain the situation to Chen Yuran and Shen Xiaoyue, who were waiting for him.
With what happened last time, Chen Yuran and Shen Xiaoyue didn't dare to mess with bad ideas, and obediently waited for Lin Xiao to come back.
However, after hearing Lin Xiao say that he was going to Shu Xinyan's house for dinner, Chen Yuran and Shen Xiaoyue's eyes widened.
That look, no matter how you look at it, looks like you are doubting the relationship between the two.
Lin Xiao coughed dryly and explained: "If you can dispel her parents' insistence on letting her marry Shi Haoming, it can be regarded as a great favor for Shu Xinyan." ”
Shen Xiaoyue said in a hurry: "You are doing a great favor to others, so what should our family do? You can't step on two boats!"
"You're going to die!" Chen Yuran reached out to tickle Shen Xiaoyue's itch, glared at Lin Xiao viciously and said, "If you want to go, go quickly!"
Lin Xiao touched his nose, didn't think much about it, nodded and turned to leave.
Seeing him leave so neatly, Chen Yuran gritted his silver teeth and gurgled.
Shen Xiaoyue quipped beside her: "Our language is jealous!"
Chen Yuran glanced at Shen Xiaoyue coldly and said, "If you dare to talk nonsense, I will break your mouth!"
"I'm so scared!" Shen Xiaoyue was fearless.
The two were fighting, but Chen Yuran really had a strange feeling in his heart, he couldn't tell what was going on, it was a bit like his things had been snatched by others.
Do you really like this guy?
How can it be!
Chen Yuran hurriedly retorted in her heart, she is not a casual girl, although she has to admit that Lin Xiao is okay, but how could she like him so easily?
When the two girls were fighting, Lin Xiao also rushed to her house with Shu Xinyan.
Judging from the car driven by Shu Xinyan, their family should be richer than a well-off family.
Ten minutes later, Shu Xinyan drove into a residential community, where their family lived was not a villa mansion, but in a very ordinary apartment building.
On the way, Shu Xinyan took a preventive shot with him in advance, her parents are more money-minded people, and Shi Haoming is almost a representative of the rich in their eyes, and the other party has been pursuing Shu Xinyan, so they even let Shu Xinyan go, saying that they have regarded Shi Haoming as their son-in-law.
"If they talk too much, I'll just take you away. In the elevator, Shu Xinyan looked at Lin Xiao and said seriously.
Lin Xiao shrugged her shoulders in dismay, it seemed that Shu Xinyan was really disappointed in her parents.
Her family lives on the thirteenth floor, Shu Xinyan didn't knock on the door, she took out the key and opened the door directly, but as soon as the two walked into the living room, they saw a couple half-lying on the sofa watching TV.
The woman said lukewarmly, "The food is in the kitchen, you can make it yourself." ”
Shu Xinyan's eyebrows immediately appeared angry, and she said in disappointment: "Didn't you even cook?!"
The woman glanced at her, frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "Your father and I just came back, how can we have time to cook?" Besides, if you bring your boyfriend back to eat, if you don't go out to eat, who will still eat at home?"
Lin Xiao suddenly laughed a little, he didn't come empty-handed, he bought some fruits and drinks on the way, hearing this, he turned around and put things outside the door, and then walked in again.
Seeing his actions, Shu Xinyan said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I ......"
Lin Xiao waved her hand to stop her from continuing, then walked into the living room and looked at the couple who seemed to owe them millions and didn't pay them back, and asked, "Are you Xinyan's parents?"
The woman immediately stared at him dissatisfied, and asked unceremoniously, "Who are you?"
The somewhat sloppy man also glanced at him, and after looking at what he was wearing, there was a look of disdain in his eyes.
It seems that the two don't regard Lin Xiao as Shu Xinyan's boyfriend at all, even if Shu Xinyan admits it, they won't admit it.
"Xinyan should have told you that I was her boyfriend. Lin Xiao explained.
"Boyfriend?" The sloppy man finally spoke, and sneered: "We don't admit it, then you are not her boyfriend! What are the things! Selling goods all over the place, and embarrassed to be the son-in-law of the Shu family? I don't bother to talk nonsense with you, five million dowry, two villas in the city center, more than three luxury cars of more than two million, I will marry my daughter to you, otherwise there is no need to talk about it!"
His tone was full of resentment, if it weren't for Shu Xinyan's refusal to marry Shi Haoming, he would have been able to live in a villa and drive a luxury car, and when the time comes, he will go to the casino to see who would dare not allow him to enter!
Shu Xinyan was so angry that her chest kept rising and falling, and her pretty face was full of despair and said, "Don't think about it! Even if he has these things, he won't give them to you!"
"You white-eyed wolf! How can you talk? Your father and I worked hard to raise you and send you to study, and that's how you did it to our two old men? What's more, what your father said is nothing, Haoming's kid has already said that as long as you marry him, he can pay 10 million yuan just for the dowry! Your father has lowered his requirements a lot! He can't even take out these things, why should he marry our daughter?"
The woman sat up straight and stared at Shu Xinyan, and said with a dissatisfied expression.
"Worked hard to raise me?" Shu Xinyan seemed to have heard the best joke in the world, her beautiful eyes were red, tears were already rolling in her eyes, she smiled sadly, and said: "You ask yourself, after I was ten years old, did you take care of me?"
Shu Xinyan gritted her silver teeth, suppressed the words in her heart, and finally broke down at this time and said: "When I was ten years old, Shu Jianyuan was infected with gambling, and after that, all the things that could be defeated in the family were taken out by him to gamble, and you Li Cuifang, as a mother, at that time, did you take care of me? You remarried yourself and left me alone, if it weren't for the third aunt who took pity on me, I would have starved to death back then! I started working odd jobs to earn tuition fees in junior high school, and in my sophomore year of high school, my third aunt was seriously ill, and I knelt down and begged you, have you seen me again? I watched you hold that man's hand and shut me out! Later, when my third aunt died, I swore in my heart that no matter what happened in the future, I would never ask for you!"
Shu Xinyan couldn't cry anymore as she spoke, for her, it was the darkest experience.
Lin Xiao walked over and hugged Shu Xinyan's shoulders, and looked at the couple's eyes, which became more and more cold.
"The third aunt has long known that she is seriously ill, so she has never married in her life, and treats me like her own daughter, if it weren't for her, I don't know how many years I have been dead! But what about you? You keep saying that I am your daughter, but when did you take on the responsibility of parents? Later, when I met Shi Haoming in college, he couldn't pursue me, so I tried every means to find you, but you took all his benefits behind my back, I'm afraid I would have regarded him as a cash cow a long time ago, right?"
The atmosphere in the living room was particularly dull and depressing, and only Shu Xinyan's crying voice kept echoing.
Lin Xiao's heart was cold, he was abandoned when he was born, so he didn't blame his parents, after all, he was terminally ill at the time, if his parents were an ordinary family, such a terminal illness might drag them down!
So Lin Xiao never felt how pitiful he was, but when he heard Shu Xinyan's words, he really felt that Shu Xinyan was quite pitiful.
It's not a good thing to put such parents on anyone!
Li Cuifang's face changed for a moment, and then she suddenly stood up like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, pointed at Shu Xinyan and scolded: "You conscienceless dog! I worked hard to conceive you for ten months to give birth to you, and that's how you talked to me?"
Shu Jianyuan also glanced at Shu Xinyan, and then said to Li Cuifang with a breezy look: "Why are you telling her so much? If you can get the dowry, we will recognize your relationship, if you can't get it, get out of here!"
Shu Xinyan covered her mouth and squatted on the ground and cried, crying desperately and helplessly.
She originally thought that she had seen through these two people enough, but she didn't expect that they were even more shameless than she imagined!
Lin Xiao frowned slightly, to be honest, he only came with the attitude of coming to help Shu Xinyan play a scene at first, but now after hearing what these two people said to Shu Xinyan, Rao is an outsider, and there is a nameless anger in his heart!
Especially looking at Shu Xinyan's helpless appearance and crying voice, his face became more and more cold.
"What if I don't give it?" Lin Xiao suddenly laughed, looked at Shu Jianyuan and Li Cuifang, and walked over slowly.
"Don't give it, if you don't give it, get out! Don't you understand?" Shu Jianyuan shouted coldly.
Lin Xiao laughed angrily, his figure flashed, no one could see his movements clearly, and saw that Shu Jianyuan's whole person was directly lifted up by Lin Xiao with one hand!
