Chapter 1257 - Promise by Body
Xia Lan knew that it was not easy to break the marriage contract with Qiao Zimo, after all, the marriage contract between the two had been set since childhood, after all, the Qiao family had always been kind to her, and they had always been optimistic about her.
However, what she didn't expect was that it would not be easy to convince her parents to accept Lu Ruidong, and their opposition was stronger than she expected.
"You want to break off the marriage contract with Qiao Zimo? And then marry Lu Ruidong? ”
Xia Zhijian's face was full of shock and anger, and he immediately gave an answer before Xia Lan could speak: "No, I won't agree, you can only marry Qiao Zimo, no, you have to marry Qiao Zimo!" ”
"Why?" Xia Lan looked at her father puzzled: "What is Lu Ruidong inferior to Qiao Zimo?" Just because he is not as rich as Qiao Zimo? ”
"What do you mean just because Qiao Zimo is rich? Is our family short of money? Xia Zhijian was so angry that his face was dark: "Lu Ruidong is my cousin-in-law, I also sponsored him when he was studying, and he is related to our family." ”
"What about kinship? It's not that there is no blood relationship of five generations. Xia Lan choked on her father unconvinced: "Lu Ruidong's grandmother and your aunt, that is, my aunt are cousins, in fact, to put it bluntly, Lu Ruidong and we have no blood relationship at all, which cannot be the reason for me and Lu Ruidong to get married." ”
Knowing that her father would speak as a cousin before her and Lu Ruidong, Xia Lan asked Lu Ruidong to check the so-called cousin relationship between the two families in advance.
"Even if there is no blood relationship, then you and Lu Ruidong can't get married," Xia Zhijian looked at his daughter coldly: "Don't forget, your life was given by Qiao Zimo, if it wasn't for Qiao Zimo, you would have died twenty years ago?" And you yourself said that you would repay it with a lifetime of promises. ”
"......." Xia Lanmo, if her father didn't mention it, she really forgot about this incident twenty years ago.
When she was six years old, she followed her second cousin Tong Zhenyu, Qiao Zimo, Lei Shengting, etc. to swim by the reservoir, at that time Tong Zhenyu Qiao Zimo and Lei Shengting were ten years old, and she was the youngest, only six years old.
She had just learned how to swim, but she learned it in the swimming pool, and when she saw the reservoir many, many times larger than the swimming pool, she was actually still a little scared, and she didn't even dare to go into the water.
So, Lei Shengting and Qiao Zimo laughed at her for being a coward, and even used agitation to provoke her into the water, but she was just a six-year-old child, and they were in a hurry, so they took off their clothes, put on a swimsuit and went into the water regardless of it.
At first, she was a little scared, but then she felt that the side was not very deep, and gradually she was relieved to swim boldly.
Soon, however, her little feet stopped moving, to be precise, her feet were tripped by something underwater and could no longer swim away.
So, she was so anxious that she yelled, but the second cousin and Lei Shengting Qiao Zimo were nowhere to be seen, and they had already swam far away.
At a young age, she gradually couldn't support herself in the water, and the whole person kept sliding down the water, she tried her best to let her head out of the water, wanted to persevere, and then insisted......
I don't know how long it took, she felt the tension under her feet heavier, she couldn't stand it anymore, and the hand that grabbed the water grass next to her loosened, and then the whole person fell straight into the water.
Just when she thought she was going to die, an anxious cry suddenly came from her ears: "Xia Lan, Xia Lan, where are you?" Xia Lan, Xia Lan ......"
She opened her eyes vigorously, looked at the figure swimming in the water, opened her mouth and shouted: "I'm here, I'm here......."
She had exhausted all her strength to respond, but she was exhausted, and the sound she made was so small that it could not be heard by the man.
But the man seemed to hear it, and he was still in circles in the water, and immediately swam in her direction, but he looked so far away, but she couldn't wait for the moment when he swam to his side......
Later, she seemed to have fallen asleep, slept for a long, long time, and when she woke up again, she was already lying in the hospital, surrounded by a large group of people such as her parents, grandmother, uncle, cousin, Lei Shengting, Qiao Zimo, etc.
She was so frightened that she cried out, but her mother held her in her arms with tears in her eyes, and said excitedly: "Xia Lan, it's good if you wake up, Xia Lan, it's okay, you scared your parents......."
Later, she learned that the person who swam towards her was Qiao Zimo, and her foot was stuck by the underwater water root, it was Qiao Zimo who dived down and took her foot out of the water root, and it was Qiao Zimo who carried her to the shore.
In the process of waiting for the ambulance, because she was unconscious, Qiao Zimo gave him artificial respiration, and said that she could only breathe after a long time, and she could inhale and exhale normally.
Therefore, after she woke up, Qiao Zimo jokingly said: "I saved your life, how are you going to repay me?" ”
At that time, children also paid attention to reciprocation, I gave you a few cookies, you have to give me a bubble gum or something, this is called a gift exchange.
But what Qiao Zimo gave him was not biscuit bubble gum, it was fate, if it weren't for Qiao Zimo, she would have died and would not be in this world.
So, at the age of six, she blurted out at the time: "Then I will give you my life, and my life will be your life in the future." ”
The adults laughed immediately when they heard the conversation between the two of them, and Qiao Zimo's mother jokingly said at the time: "Xia Lan is ready to promise our family Zimo." ”
So, at the age of six, she inadvertently became a life-saving promise to repay Qiao Zimo, and her marriage contract with Qiao Zimo was given by both parents because of this.
In the past, Qiao Zimo often said on his lips: "You dedicated your first kiss to me when I was six years old, and I dedicated my first kiss to you when I was ten years old." ”
The first kiss, God knows, where is the first kiss, is it Qiao Zimo helping her do artificial respiration?
But Qiao Zimo didn't care about these at all, insisting that the two of them had kissed each other when they were very young, so when she was thirteen years old, seventeen-year-old Qiao Zimo didn't care about putting her against the thick trunk of a tree and kissing her.
The first time she was forcibly kissed by him, she was so anxious that she was about to cry, but Qiao Zimo said eloquently: "I'm seventeen years old, I receive love letters from girls every day, I don't hurry up to kiss you, I'm afraid that my first kiss will be taken away by other girls, why should I give you my first kiss?" ”
She couldn't cry or laugh, she was only thirteen years old at that time, where did she know so much, she only felt that it was uncomfortable to block one mouth with one mouth, and it was a little difficult to breathe.
Therefore, since Qiao Zimo kissed her for the first time, she has avoided Qiao Zimo for a long time.
