Chapter 170
Xue Zimo sat opposite Xue Cheng. Pulled a cigarette from Xue Cheng's cigarette case. Put it on your nose and smell it. It's fragrant.
"Xixi. I haven't been home yet. Xue Cheng handed over the lighter.
"......" Xue Zimo lit the cigarette. Took a puff. There is no such thing as choking as I imagined. Then take a second bite. He felt that he must be as familiar as an old smoker.
"Where is she now. Xue Cheng looked at Xue Zimo seriously. His son he understands. Each of the five fingers has a length or a shortness. The work is booming. Feelings are shortcomings.
"......" Xue Zimo took a sharp sip. Still choking. He made mistakes and felt guilty. And Gu Xiyan is really blatant. It made it impossible for him to adapt. It is even more intolerant.
"It's still there. Xue Cheng frowned. Gu Xiyan is not a foolish child. And now it seems a bit out of line. Aunt Ling is not in City A. Lonely men and widows. Even if innocent. But it doesn't look like it is right after all.
"Everyone was a little excited that day. Your mom added fuel to the fire. I don't think Xixi is that kind of child. Zhanchi ......: "Xue Cheng has always known that Ling Zhanchi was because of Xue Zixu's matter. I was educated by Mr. Xia. Now I don't mind saying otherwise. At the beginning, I really reported to colleges and universities in other provinces.
"I'm not out of nowhere. Is there anything wrong with what she admits herself? Xia Xiaoqing stepped over in a few steps. "In the past, it was okay to make a little fuss. Now the face of the old Xue family is gone. This is a matter of principle. Style Issues......"
"You reserve your opinion first. All right. Xue Cheng immediately interrupted Xia Xiaoqing. looked at Xue Zimo, who had been silent. "Zimo. What do you think about this. ”
"I respect her opinion......" Xue Zimo said, pressing the cigarette butt into the ashtray. Right. Respect her opinion. She thought about it, and she could go on. She wanted to disperse him, but she couldn't stop him.
"You don't have any confidence to speak. Xia Xiaoqing looked at Xue Zimo, who was "not angry". "It's her restlessness. Why are you inferior? I get the idea. Even if you want to leave. She also went out of the house. Don't want to take a little bit of ......."
She wants to completely dispel Gu Xiyan's thoughts of climbing high branches. She wanted Gu Xiyan to learn a lesson. This path doesn't work for her. Don't want to leave here with money in your pocket. She's going to beat her back to where she was. A sparrow is a sparrow. When a few years Phoenix. It's already the luck of her life.
"I'll go back first. Xue Zimo didn't wait for Xia Xiaoqing to finish speaking. "Whew" and stood up all at once. Opened the door and walked away.
"Hey...... You're skipping meals. Xia Xiaoqing looked at Xue Zimo's back. It's even more angry. Listen to the "bang" of the door. "Your son is miserable this time. It's really miserable. ”
Xue Cheng didn't say anything. I always felt that something was wrong. But I don't know where the problem is.
"You really only have Xue Zimo in your eyes. In the silent living room, there was a resentful voice from Xue Zixu.
"What's wrong with you again. Xia Xiaoqing looked at Xue Cheng, who didn't answer. Look at Xue Zixu, who will be chattering blindly if there is something. It's a little blocked in my heart. Got up and re-entered the kitchen.
"It's not good for anyone else. Xue Zimo won't make mistakes. Xue Zixu muttered. Gu Xiyan can do this. It is Xue Zimo's creation.
"Do you know something? Xue Cheng locked his eyes on Xue Zixu.
Xue Zimo saw the car stop under a bridge. Come down and stand on the water's edge. Freezing three feet is not a day's cold. Gu Xiyan also said. Little by little, the heart is getting cooler. He was sorry that he couldn't hold her back little by little.
Married for a few years. He fattened her guts, but polished her simple mind. In the past, she would resist him in order to protect Qin Kai. Now she understood what she needed to leave him......
A good relationship needs to be right at the right time. And I am willing to believe that things are man-made. I just have to challenge those conventions. Everyone makes mistakes and makes fools sometimes. He loves Gu Xiyan. But it's true. So far. He always felt that Gu Xiyan was playing with him. He struggled with the pain of his heart. But I can't give birth to the slightest hatred......
It was the first time he had looked at his emotions so deeply. This time the little white rabbit is going to jump out of his palm. He couldn't catch her.
"It really is. Xue Cheng sat up straight. He knew it wouldn't be that simple. But Gu Xiyan's actions were beyond his expectations.
"How can I talk nonsense about this kind of thing. Xue Zixu looked back at the kitchen. "Gu Xiyan and Ling Zhanchi can't be real. I can't get along with my brother anymore. ”
"This Xue Zimo......" Xue Cheng slapped the sofa heavily. Xia Xiaoqing is right. Xue Zimo is not ashamed, he is not ashamed. If you lose it, you will lose it. How could you do such a foolish thing? "Why didn't you say it earlier. ”
"It's my fault again. Xue Zixu stood up a little excitedly. "I think Gu Xiyan is interesting enough. She knew that Xue Zimo's self-esteem was sad. I don't want him to carry a burden. Since she wants to be fulfilled. I'm also a sister. What are you talking about? I think Gu Xiyan owed him in his previous life. I'm here to pay off my debts in this life. He also put on that immortal appearance. It's so ...... to look at."
Gu Xiyan stared at the number on her phone. There was a little panic for a moment.
"Why don't you pick it up. Ling Zhanchi changed his shoes and came over. The number he knew. Xue Cheng's. looked at Gu Xiyan's flustered appearance. One snatched the phone from hers. "Hello. Uncle Xue......"
"......" Xue Cheng heard Ling Zhanchi's voice. He hesitated. "Zhanchi. Tell Xixi. I'm downstairs. ”
Gu Xiyan took a deep breath. Pull open the door. Ling Zhanchi's voice came from behind him. "Do you want me to accompany you? ”
"It's still me. "There's a lot to face. There are many things that no one can replace yourself.
looked at the Subaru parked downstairs in Xue Cheng. In fact, Xue Cheng rarely drives by himself. It's just that today he doesn't want outsiders to be present.
"Dad......" Gu Xiyan called out with difficulty. This title is ironic and embarrassing for her at the moment.
Xue Cheng motioned for her to get into the car. The car drove on the street at night. They didn't speak. Gu Xiyan didn't even ask. This is where to go. Actually, it's the same everywhere. There is no home for her anymore. She could probably guess what Xue Cheng meant. Either to say something on behalf of Xue Zimo. At worst, it's just another period of blame. It's just that Xue Cheng's words will be heavier.
Listen to Zimo. You've got the notice. Xue Cheng opened his mouth. Gu Xiyan is roughly a passive person. Won't attack others. Facing the attacks of others. Sometimes there is not even a visible resistance. Compared with Xia Xiaoqing. Naturally, it does not have the upper hand.
"Hmm. Gu Xiyan was ready. No matter what Xue Cheng told her. She just listened.
"Is Aunt Ling back too? Xue Cheng continued to ask.
"No...... Yes. Gu Xiyan hesitated and spit out two words. Immediately understood what Xue Cheng meant. She has been living in Ling Zhanchi's house like this. Big inappropriate.
"You want to protect people. First of all, you have to learn to protect yourself. Thank you for everything you do for Zimo. "For the first time in Xue Cheng's life, he thanked someone for such a thing.
Gu Xiyan felt her body tremble. looked at Xue Cheng in surprise.
"He did the wrong thing himself. You shouldn't be the one to bear it for him. It's not fair to you. It's a shirking of responsibility to him. Xue Cheng stopped the car.
"I ......" Of course, Gu Xiyan knew that it was unfair to him. But she only starts from the heart in everything she does. "I don't want to have any bad impact on Zimo because of this matter. ”
"That's the consequences he's supposed to take. "Xue Chengwan will not be like Xia Xiaoqing thinks he is protective. Which is right and which is wrong. He knows it in his heart, and he knows it in his actions.
"I know Zimo is guilty. The reason why it has not been said. I just don't want him to feel guilty for the rest of his life. Gu Xiyan couldn't say any more. Memories are the most useless. It will only pull her back into that vortex. She could only move forward. There is no turning back. "I know that too. these years. You don't have a few days of peace of mind. But it will be fine in the future. ”
"Kid. That's where I'm worried about you. Xue Cheng directly expressed his worries. I also heard that she had made up her mind. "On the merits. I know it. Now after all, Zimo can't stand you. ”
"Don't say that. I can't even remember what he did for me. And I did it for him. That's it. Gu Xiyan looked at Xue Cheng's face full of apologies. Even more uneasy. He is an elder. An elder that he has always admired. In the end, this is just a question between her and Xue Zimo. She didn't want the two families to get involved anymore. "I just want him to be good. You're all right. ”
"Zimo shouldn't be so confused. Xue Cheng sighed.
"Zimo is not confused. It's about becoming more and more aware of what kind of person is right for you. Probably just me next to me. Added to his concerns. "After these days of torment. She slowly thought it through. "I don't hate him. I don't think he hates me either. We're just living more clearly than we were before. What could be better than ending like this. You don't have to worry about me. Don't worry about him. ”
Xue Cheng had nothing to say. There is no doubt that Gu Xiyan turned around. Resolute and beautiful. It doesn't matter if Xue Zimo lets go because of regret, guilt, or heartache and anger. The consequences were all lessons he deserved.
Gu Xiyan got out of the car at the gate of the community. Walk back with your head down. Xue Cheng came to apologize to her. She didn't expect it. He even said, "If there is any difficulty in the future." It's good to still treat him as a father." It made her want to shed tears......
Ling Zhanchi's mobile phone was twirling between his thumb and forefinger. He lost count of how many times he had walked downstairs. Until Gu Xiyan's figure appeared in his sight.
"It's fine. Ling Zhanchi walked over to Gu Xiyan.
"What could it be? Gu Xiyan quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"What can be done to get the old cadres out of the way? Ling Zhanchi followed Gu Xiyan upstairs. Ask persistently.
"I want to ......" Gu Xiyan stopped at the door. She still listened to Xue Cheng's words. It was not appropriate for her to live here. But she didn't want to move back either.
"I'll have to go back to City B tomorrow. Ling Zhanchi quietly pulled out the key from the door. "Please take care of it here. ”
