Pet Tiange changed into casual clothes, and the light gray made him look a little rejuvenated.

Coming out of the suite, Pet Tiange went directly to the Chinese restaurant on the second floor. The restaurant manager knew him, and led him to a relatively quiet table, and then presented the special menu of the day.

Pet Tiange ordered a few vegetarian dishes at random, and then asked with a smile: "Someone said that they ordered porridge for me, right?"

The manager also smiled and nodded: "That young lady is very careful, multigrain porridge nourishes the stomach and strengthens the spleen, and the fire is dry in early spring, so it's best to drink some." ”

He turned around and beckoned, and immediately a waiter brought him up.

"You use it slowly. ”

Pet Tiange was in a good mood, lowered his head and blew, scooped a spoonful and sent it to his mouth, and sure enough, it was cooked well, and the heat was just right.

He was eating, and he caught a glimpse of someone suddenly approaching him, and he thought it was a waiter serving the food, and pointed lightly, "Just put it here." ”

After a while, the man didn't move, and Pet Tiange couldn't help but stop drinking porridge and raised his head.

Unexpectedly, the person standing in front of his table turned out to be Fu Jinliang, who had not been seen for many days.

Pet Tiange picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, sat up straight, leaned back on the back of the chair, and squinted slightly, "Why are you here?"

It was the first time the two had met since the final night of the jewelry competition. At the wedding that day, Pet Tiange did not show up, and later he was punished by his father to kneel in the mourning hall at home, Fu Jinliang's grandfather and father went to the pet house several times, and she did not show up.

"Although the marriage is not consummated, I always have to eat, and I just come to eat. ”

Fu Jinliang spoke leisurely, and without waiting for his permission, he had already sat down opposite Pet Tiange, with a faint expression on his face.

He looked around, the Chinese restaurant had a scattered table and a private room, and now it was past noon, and there were not many diners. Obviously, Fu Jinliang came on purpose and had something to say.

"I've already eaten, just say anything you want. ”

Pet Tiange pushed the chopsticks in front of him forward and wiped his hands, the porridge prepared for him by Ye Yingning was very good for the spleen and stomach, making him very appetizing, but at this moment, Fu Jinliang's sudden appearance made him suddenly lose his appetite.

"You're so direct. Being a person and doing things so directly, aren't you afraid of hurting people too much?"

Fu Jinliang tilted his head, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, which was not aggressive, but a very puzzled look.

Inexplicably, Pet Tiange suddenly wanted to talk to her.

He took out the cigarette case, and was not in a hurry to take out the cigarettes, the cigarette box with gold and silver was intertwined, and there were no beautiful patterns engraved on the surface of the box, and the color was smooth as a mirror, reflecting the expression on Pet Tiange's face that looked like a smile but not like a smile.

"There's an idiom called 'eyes above the top,' and people say it's a derogatory term, but I don't think there's anything wrong with that. The height that my eyes see is determined by the height you are at, and I can't take care of everything, I can only follow my own thoughts. ”

With that, Pet Tiange took out a cigarette and lit it, and took a deep breath.

Fu Jinliang remained silent and did not refute his fallacy, she raised her hand slightly, waved the smoke in front of her, and said in a low voice: "Don't hate me so much, I am not Zhou Zhiruo, you are not Zhang Wuji, and she is not Zhao Min." In fact, to put it bluntly, I just want to find a better one to rely on in this powerful big family. Pet Tiange, I know that there is nothing you don't know about the Dao, I think you have heard of my origin. Is there another reason why you don't want to marry me, because I'm not a concubine?"

Taking a deep breath, Fu Jinliang put his hand on the table, his fingertips trembling slightly.

This was all her weakness, and she never mentioned it in person, even with her closest friends, buried in her heart.

Background is something she can't choose, but the inferiority complex it brings to her is integrated into her blood and bones, which can't be peeled off, and she can't pretend to be nothing.

Hearing this, he was stunned.

He really never considered this kind of thing, in his eyes, it didn't matter who Fu Jinliang was, he didn't want to marry her, and it had nothing to do with her surname.

However, the sensitive Fu Jinliang regarded his stunnedness as his heart and was said by himself.

With a wry smile, she withdrew her hands, folded them under the table, and clenched them a few times, trying to give herself enough courage to continue.

"I thought that with my own struggle, I could make the Fu family treat me differently, so I even only went home once a year, and spent the rest of my time working abroad. But it's useless, these are not as important as if I can marry into a more powerful family than the Fu family. Sometimes I wonder if I live in a feudal society, and even a family like the Fu family has to marry a daughter to maintain my status. ”

On the day of the wedding, the groom was missing, not only losing the face of the Fu family, but also bringing Fu Jinliang's status in the family plummeted. Her grandfather and father, who had treated her differently because she was able to marry into a favored family, now all of them did not want to look at her anymore, and the cousins of the same generation continued to laugh at her, saying that she was a sparrow and could not be a phoenix, but was torn off all her hair.

Fu Jinliang never mentioned these words to outsiders.

Pet Tiange was stunned and snuffed out the cigarette butt, he didn't think much about these things, and now when he heard her say this, he couldn't help but be a little moved.

"I'm sorry about that, but I always thought you didn't want to marry me. To be honest, the two of us are several years apart, and we have never had any emotional foundation. Don't you feel like a puppet when you get married like this, and you have to be manipulated for your lifelong happiness?"

This topic is really a bit heavy, which swept away the good mood of Pet Tiange before.

He doesn't understand how a so-called new new woman like Fu Jinliang, who grew up abroad, has academic success and has a successful career, is still willing to be led by the nose in marriage matters.

Listening to Pet Tiange's question, Fu Jinliang showed a helpless smile, she stretched out her hand and touched the edge of the bowl of porridge he had just drunk.

He was a little puzzled and asked rhetorically, "Porridge?"

"This is a bowl of the most ordinary multigrain porridge, but it is fortunate to be served in such a bowl and sold in such a high-end hotel, so its price is several times or more than ten times that of other porridge. Pet Tiange, you have everything, so naturally you don't think your surname is anything special. But I'm different, I can be surnamed Fu because of the generosity of my father's wife. ”

When she said this, she paused, and there was a little more choking in her voice.

"I've never been a righteous daughter, but I'm going to be a decent wife. It was only when my husband was a cut above everyone else that I could hold my head up and be a human being. You are my gilded stone, so I must marry you, even if you don't love me. ”

Pet Tiange frowned, it turned out that until now, Fu Jinliang had not dispelled the idea of marrying him, this woman was really ...... Terrible obsession!

"It's your business if you want to compromise, but I don't want to compromise. ”

I didn't want to listen to Fu Jinliang tell the story of his bitterness and hatred, so he got up to leave.

"If you don't compromise, don't regret it later. ”

Fu Jinliang didn't stand up to stop him, but raised his chin slightly, and tears flashed in his eyes.

Her threat made Pet Tiange's already frowning brow even tighter. After a moment, he furrowed his brow, stopped his steps, and smiled back at her.
