, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the shallow marriage!
The light was dim, everything seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, so that people couldn't see each other's expressions clearly, Xu Zhigang did not sit down, but turned his back to Xu Yingxia, raised his head slightly, and looked at a huge "Zheng" word hanging on the top of the study.
His hands were behind his back, and under the shadow of the lamp, his figure was still tall and majestic.
He is already old, but because there is still a wife he wants to protect in this world, he has never dared to let himself grow old, and he promised to take care of her for the rest of his life since he got married.
Xu Zhigang clenched his fingers, and the gold ring on his thumb hurt his palm.
His face tensed, turned around, and looked coldly at Xu Yingxia, who followed him and walked in.
When Xu Yingxia came into contact with Xu Zhigang's eyes, her heart couldn't help but shrink, and a strange feeling arose inexplicably in her heart, she always felt uneasy.
Xu Yingxia called softly: "Dad." β
Xu Zhigang said "um", his face was tight, his eyes flashed with unknown emotions, and his eyes gradually deepened.
"Xia Xia. After a long silence, he suddenly said.
Xu Yingxia's eyelashes trembled twice, bit her lip, and did not speak.
"How have you been doing in the past few years?" Xu Zhigang's voice was slightly calm, as if there was sand in his throat.
Xu Yingxia opened her black and white eyes, nodded, and shook her head slowly, she still didn't speak, gritted her teeth in her heart, and walked over, holding Xu Zhigang's arm with both hands.
"Dad, why did you suddenly ask me this?" her voice was soft and a little innocent, "You just came back so fierce, and the dim light in the study also scared me, just like when I was a child, every time I did something wrong, you would scold me." β
The lines of Xu Zhigang's silhouette were slightly cold and hard, and under the guidance of Xu Yingxia, he also remembered what happened when Xia Xia was a child, in fact, Xia Xia was really no different from his biological daughter. Back then, she was still so young, she was taken back to the Xu family by him, taking the place of his biological daughter, from childhood to adulthood, he thought that he also loved her as his own daughter, because for him, children are just an accessory to marriage, and only an accessory to the family, children can have or not, but Xia Xia came to this family and brought too much and enough joy to his wife, so Xia Xia is also worthy of his love.
Xu Zhigang's fingers clenched more and more, but what if Xia Xia couldn't bring enough joy to his wife?
People's hearts are flesh and blood, no matter what, he has also taken care of Xia Xia for more than 20 years.
Xu Zhigang suddenly felt a burst of weakness, he was really old, not decisive enough, not brave enough, looking forward and backward.
Xu Yingxia's inner uneasiness became bigger and bigger, and she called out again: "Dad...... What's wrong with you? Are you too tired from work? Do you want to get some rest, you just came back from the Netherlands today, and it's very tiring from a long flight. β
She behaved like a sweet little padded jacket.
Xu Zhigang doesn't want her to be really just a caring little padded jacket, without so many careful competitions, and obediently and skillfully be her daughter of the Xu family and his daughter.
The big stone on Xu Zhigang's chest became heavier and heavier, he glanced at Xu Yingxia, and said in a deep voice: "Xia Xia, in the past few years, you have become more and more willful. β
Xu Yingxia sighed in her heart, and she smiled: "Dad, am I not cute to be willful? Mom said that I was cute." β
Xu Zhigang: "Appropriate willfulness is a good thing, but you are already rude and willful! From childhood to adulthood, my attitude towards you two sisters is to be free-range, allowing your character to develop freely, so I neither stopped nor approved of the fact that you fell in love with Lu Yan back then; even if you willfully left Ah Yan and left abroad with other men at will, how could I ever scold you?" he said, his eyes were cold and sharp, and the strength in his hands became heavier and heavier. At that time, you were about to piss your mother to death, if you want to chase true love, you can choose to break up with Lu Yan, you can also choose to be with true love, no one in our family will interfere with your choice, but you chose the most stupid way - elopement!"
"At that time, I thought about not wanting you as a daughter, not because I thought you were ashamed, but because you made your mother sad! From childhood to adulthood, who is good to you in this family, who loves you the most, you should know in your heart, you can't be sorry for your mother!"
Xu Zhigang's tone became more and more serious: "Later, when you came back, you obviously did something wrong, but everyone chose to forgive and no longer mention the wrong things you did because they loved you, and I won't pursue it with you anymore, I thought you would be sensible after that incident! But you don't know how to repent at all!"
"At that time, Ah Yan was already married, his marriage was still promoted by your own hands, and it was also your own choice, no matter what, you have to respect other people's marriages, but after you come back, you see what you have done? You regret giving up Ah Yan, so you have been trying to insert into other people's marriages regardless of etiquette, righteousness and shame, you can do it alone, you still use your mother's love for you, let your mother run for you, and plan for you. β
"At that time, I was in good health, and the company still had a lot of official business waiting for me to complete, and I didn't have time to care about your affairs, but you should be glad that Ah Yan still remembered the old love, was gentle to you, avenged you, and cleaned up the mess for you, you were not satisfied, when Ah Yan went to England and couldn't take care of domestic affairs, what did you do every day at the Lu family's old house? At that time, Ah Yan's wife was pregnant and raised in the Lu family's old house, you are an unmarried girl, why do you want to go to the Lu family? You can't see your mind when others can't see your thoughts, right? Do you know what people outside will say about you? They will say that Mrs. Xu is not well-educated, that you have no courtesy, righteousness and shame!"
"I didn't know what happened to the Lu family later, but Mrs. Ayan's child is gone, the entire Lu family is silent, and you are an outsider involved again, do you say that Ayan will not be angry with you? He doesn't do anything to you, he is educated!"
Xu Zhigang was so angry that his fingers trembled slightly, and he clenched his teeth: "Ah Yan is already good-tempered, if I were him, my wife would have miscarried because of outsiders, I would never just send you abroad, but also let you eat and drink well and study well!"
"You're not satisfied, just let your mother accompany you to the United States! Now you suddenly want to return to China for development? Xia Xia, you are too willful, do you know?! Mom and Dad can't accompany you for a lifetime! Look at Dong'er, yes, she is also delicate and willful, but she has always relied on her own hard work when she enters the entertainment industry as a star, no matter how hard and tired she is, she will not find a family to cry!"
After he finished speaking, he paused for a while, and his eyes unconsciously fell on the word "Zheng" on the wall, and the emotions in his chest were cleansed, and he sighed: "Xia Xia, you must be upright, so that you will not be ashamed of this life." β
The last sentence landed soundly, and in this space, it echoed, with the power of a thousand jun.
Xu Yingxia pursed her lips tightly, her lip line was stretched like a string about to break, she lowered her eyelids, covering the tsunami-like surging anger under her eyes, and the fingers hanging down beside her were tightened little by little, clenched little by little.
She couldn't hold back, a tear rolled down, and then, there was a second, a third......
She raised her head suddenly, her eyes were red, and her fair skin was red with anger, and she felt aggrieved and embarrassed.
She endured it for a long time, her eyes were scarlet, and she didn't want to bear it anymore.
She trembled her voice, looked at Xu Zhigang's angry eyes, and said, "Dad, you regret it, don't you?"
Xu Zhigang didn't know what she was talking about, and he didn't react at the first time.
Xu Yingxia's tears continued to fall, a little pitiful, her eyelashes were like a broken butterfly, her chest rose and fell heavily, and she trembled with anger: "You regret it, you regret picking me up back then, you are angry with me now, you don't want to put up with me now, just because you know that I am not your biological daughter, because we are not related by blood, because we do not belong to the Xu family, and you want to get back the daughter you lost back then!"
Xu Yingxia's voice sharpened, with a bit of exhaustion, and the redness in her eyes became more and more obvious, dyed with crazy emotions.
"Dad, do you want to get rid of me? Is the blood relationship so heavy? I have been with you for so many years, we have lived together for so many years, and there are so many feelings between our family, can't it still be worth that little dispensable blood relationship?"
Xu Yingxia bit her lower lip, she stared at Xu Zhigang's suddenly enlarged black eyes, she took a deep breath, as if she couldn't bear it anymore, she suddenly ran to the desk, found the key, and found an agreement from Xu Zhigang's locked drawer.
She clenched the agreement, the back of her hand was clear, and let the tears rag: "Dad, do you want to explain this document?"
Xu Zhigang was so angry that his face turned red, and his eyes widened.
That document was a contract between him and Qin Rang to find his daughter.
Xu Yingxia's hands trembled, she raised her hand suddenly, and threw the contract on the ground, she tensed the lines of the outline, and her eyes were bloodshot.
"I'm not your daughter, the one who doesn't know which orphanage I'm in now! She's gone, you have me, why don't you know how to be satisfied, and you still want to find her? Dad, have you ever thought about it, if you find her, what kind of capacity should I stay in this family?"
Xu Zhigang was so angry that he scolded loudly: "Xu Yingxia, you are presumptuous!"
Xu Yingxia shook her head, she said softly: "None of you think about me, no wonder you don't care about me since I was a child, the only person you hurt is Xu Yingdong, right? I have always flattered you like that, but I have never been able to get you a smile once! Dad, in your heart, only blood is the most important or?......" she choked up, "Everyone doesn't love me, so I have to plan for myself." β
Xu Zhigang's pupils shrank: "What?"
Under the shadow of the lamp, Xu Yingxia's outline became blurred, she pursed her lips, the ice under her eyes was heavy, her appearance was still so innocent and lively, but her voice was very cold and cold, making Xu Zhigang's heart feel like falling into the abyss, and he lost all his temperature in an instant.
"Dad, I know you love your mother very much, your mother is not in good health, you are reluctant to make your mother sad, you are reluctant to make your mother sad, right? Now my mother's favorite person is me, and the person she cares about the most is also me, think about it, if you let your mother know that I am not the girl she lost back then, let her know that she has paid the wrong feelings for so many years, do you guess, will she collapse?"
"Dad, if you let me know that you are still looking for the girl you were back then, and you still want her to replace me, then I have 11,000 ways to make my mother sad. β
Xu Yingxia knows how to hit a snake and hit seven inches.
Xu Zhigang has all the weaknesses, but there is only Mrs. Xu.
Mrs. Xu's body has become more and more unable to withstand the stimulation.
Xu Zhigang felt a burst of myalpain in his chest, and his nerves twitched, and he slapped the desk hard with his big palm, holding it fiercely, clenching it tightly, not allowing himself to bend down.
He gritted his teeth: "Evil animal!"
Xu Yingxia was still crying: "I'm sorry, Dad, I love my mother very much, and I don't want to hurt my mother, but I also have to protect myself, don't go to that girl, okay?
Xu Zhigang slammed everything on the desk to the floor.
The study was a mess.
Xu Zhigang's tall figure suddenly showed a deep loneliness and loneliness, and scarlet blood seemed to gush out of his throat.
*
Xu Yingxia walked out of the study, her whole body was trembling, she was not a bold girl, she was cared for since she was a child, she didn't know, what was supporting her to quarrel with her father just now, now that the quarrel is over, she only feels that her hands and feet are weak.
Her eyelids were red and swollen, and she slowly walked back to her bedroom.
The hands and feet seeped out with cold to the bone.
She told herself over and over again in her heart that she was Xu Yingxia, she was the daughter of the Xu family, and she would not be someone else.
She couldn't believe it, what would she do if she wasn't the daughter of the Xu family?
No mother will love her, there is no endless money, and there is no life to enjoy...... Also, Ah Yan...... She knew that all of Ah Yan's love for her was based on the fact that she was Xu Yingxia.
Because Xu Yingxia once saved Ah Yan.
Ayan Zhi Entu reported.
If Ah Yan knew that she was not the one who saved him......
Xu Yingxia trembled, she followed the door panel, and her body slid down little by little.
She didn't dare to imagine the consequences, so she had to prepare in advance.
Her father probably wouldn't have taken the initiative to bring up the matter of his own daughter now, but there were other people who knew about it......
Qin Rang, there are also words.
She wasn't afraid that Qin Rang would know, but she was afraid that Yan Yu would know, she didn't know if Yan Yu would tell Ah Yan that she was not the biological daughter of the Xu family?
Xu Yingxia bit her lower lip, clenched her fists, restrained her trembling, and her heart was full of hatred.
*
Nanbei began morning sickness, and early in the morning she fell in the toilet retching, saying that she was worried, she poured water, and hurried to the toilet to comfort Nanbei.
When she came out of the bathroom, she found that Little Star was not lying on the bed.
Yan Yu furrowed his brows and shouted, "Little Star, where did you go?"
She looked over to the doorway, and at a glance she saw Little Star's pouting little buttocks, and her head poked out of the door.
Yan Yu took a deep breath, walked over, and said, "Little Star, what are you doing?"
As she got closer, she heard Little Star's voice, with a distinct smile, and her voice was full of jumping notes: "Uncle, why did you get up so early today? When are you going home?"
The man's deep voice was magnetic, floating in the morning air: "There is no hurry. β
"Wow, uncle, you brought me tiramisu, I like to eat tiramisu the most!"
Yan Yu's steps were faster, she stood not far from the little star, looked down at the little star, and said, "Little star." β
Little Star was lying on her stomach in the crack of the door, poking her head out, smiling and happily eating the tiramisu that Lu Yan had fed her, and she was satisfied.
It was Lu Yan who heard the voice of the words first, and he reminded the little star.
Little Star chuckled in his heart, carefully retracted his head, turned his head, raised his eyes, and just saw Yanyu's expressionless face.
Little Star's two bare feet stepped on each other, and her round little fingers were cocked one by one, which was particularly cute.
She was a little nervous, and her wet black eyes blinked, "Mom." β
She still has black tiramisu stuck to her lips.
"Why don't you wear your shoes? Do you brush your teeth in the morning?" Did your mother tell you that you should remember to put on your coat when you get out of bed?"
Xiaoxing bit her lower lip, nodded, and said in a soft voice: "Mom, I'm sorry." β
Usually Yan Yu would not be so angry at all, but she suddenly felt that because of Lu Yan's presence and interference, Xiaoxing had gradually become disobedient.
She hated this feeling of irritability, which was completely brought about by Lu Yan.
She suppressed her temper, tried to soften her voice, and said to Xiaoxing: "Now you go and put on your slippers and get dressed, and then go brush your teeth and wash your face." β
Xiaoxing knew that her mother was angry, and she also knew that she had done something wrong, so she didn't dare to say anything, just pointed to the door and said cautiously, "Uncle is outside." β
Yan Yu naturally knew that Lu Yan was outside, and she said, "You go and put on your shoes first." β
Little Star nodded, spread her feet, and ran into the house.
Outside the door, Lu Yan's calm voice came in: "Words, I let the little star come out, don't be angry with the child." β
This kind of tone that has nothing to do with oneself, hangs high, and stands and speaks without backache is the most likely to irritate people.
Yan Yu walked over, she opened the door, closed it again, and stood on the corridor, looking at Lu Yan coldly, she pursed her lips: "Yes, I won't blame her, but, Lu Yan, can you not come to me again?"
Lu Yan lowered his eyes, a pair of black eyes were cold and silent, like an abyss, like a pool of water, he actually asked lightly: "Why?"
It's as if the words are vexatious.
Yan Yu laughed angrily: "Lu Yan, have you forgotten that we are divorced? Back then, when you gave me the custody of Xiaoxing, we never agreed on the issue of visitation rights, and if there is no agreement, you don't have any visitation rights, and now you have a fiancΓ©e and children, why do you keep pestering Xiaoxing?"
Lu Yan's Adam's apple rolled silently, and his expression was grim: "No matter what the agreement says, it can't change the fact that Xiaoxing is my daughter." β
"It's disgusting. Yan Yu sneered, "If you want to have both children and daughters, wouldn't it be good for you to find your fiancΓ©e to have another one? I only have one little star, why do you even want to rob me of this?"
She was holding back her anger early in the morning because of Lu Yan.
"Okay, take 10,000 steps back, even if you want to see Little Star, but can you take care of the child's health and habits? You haven't raised her seriously since she was a child, you haven't taken care of her for a long time, you won't know how hard it is to raise a child, but you are pointing at the way I raise children!"
"Last night's dinner, I said that Little Star's body is not suitable for eating so much ice cream, yes, you want to show that you are a loving father, you secretly give her food, in the morning, you don't ask her if she brushes her teeth, if she wears shoes, if she wears enough clothes, you give her food, and even give her food that is so high in calories early in the morning. β
"Lu Yan, you are really too selfish, you only think about cultivating a relationship with Xiaoxing quickly, but you have never taken care of her with your heart. β
Yan Yu was so angry that her heart shrank and curled up, her amber pupils were mottled with anger, Lu Yan didn't pay anything at all, and now she wanted to share or even destroy her so many years of upbringing.
She glanced at Lu Yan one last time, not thinking about what the deep meaning in Lu Yan's eyes was, but said coldly: "If you just want to feel your father's love, you now have Lu Shumu, please go to him to find his father's love, Xiaoxing doesn't need it." β
The man had been standing quietly, his tall figure blocking the light behind him, his Adam's apple was constantly moving, but his thin lips were tense.
After speaking, he turned to leave.
Before she could move, the man's hard and burning body suddenly fell behind her, and Yan Yu's body stiffened slightly, Lu Yan bent down, and his hands fell from her shoulders and wrapped them in front of her, holding her tightly in his arms.
His warm breath lingered on the side of her face.
She was short of breath for a moment, only to feel the burning heat next to her ears.
Yan Yu clenched his fingers, and there was no emotion in his eyes.
His fingers slid down the curves of her body, feeling the warmth and smooth lines of her body.
Lu Yan asked softly, "Do you like sparse wood?"
Yan Yu's pupils were stunned, she didn't react, why did Lu Yan talk about Lu Shumu.
But in fact, she didn't know if she liked it or didn't like it, to be precise, she didn't want her to have any feelings for Lu Shumu.
Lu Yan didn't wait for her answer, he was silent for a long time, his voice was hoarse and difficult, as if it was mixed with heavy nails, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it would pierce into his throat: "Back then, didn't you want to have another child for me? At that time, I saw you hurting yourself several times...... Why?"
The light in her dark eyes widened more and more, and her eyes widened.
