Chapter 3 That's the Cause
Sitting in the old position in the pavilion, Liu Shaofan thoughtfully asked Xiao Lan what he wanted to eat.
"I want a bowl of seafood porridge and a plate of side dishes." Xiao Lan is really hungry, but from yesterday to this morning, she hasn't eaten, so she doesn't dare to eat more now, she plans to wait for Liu Shaofan to be solved, and she will have a good meal at dinner, she doesn't want to continue to be like before, for the sake of a man who is not worthy of love, to maintain a good figure, and only eat fruit at night.
"Not more? I remember you like to eat sweet and sour short ribs and steamed fish here," Liu Shaofan asked softly with a raised eyebrows, in the past, when they ate together, she would order a lot of dishes.
"No, that's enough, so as not to waste it." Xiao Lan shook her head lightly and said, she used to eat more, but she just wanted him to eat more and stay with her for a longer time, but now it is completely unnecessary.
The meal was silent, neither of them spoke, Xiao Lan ate very slowly, and when she finished eating, Liu Shaofan had already asked people to change the tea, and he looked at Xiao Lan before he spoke: "Can you eat well?" ”
"Yes." Xiao Lan nodded lightly, it felt so good to be full.
"Xiaolan, can you sue me, what do you think?" Liu Shaofan suppressed his displeasure and asked softly after pouring a cup of tea for Xiao Lan.
Liu Shaofan actually did not contradict this marriage and Xiao Lan has followed carefully for many years, he feels that if he gets it, he must pay, although Xiao Lan is not excellent, but in terms of value, he does not suffer, but now Xiao Lan's change of attitude in an instant makes him feel indescribable.
"Shaofan, you know me, my parents left early, I was brought up by my grandfather since I was a child, and I want to spend more time with him. There are also diaries left by my parents, and I want to go to the places where they walked to see them. Xiao Lan took the teacup, thought about it for a while, and decided that it was better to be tactful, she wanted to spend the past three years quietly.
"Just for this?" Liu Shaofan didn't believe much in this statement, because she was very happy to marry her right away yesterday, but at this time he couldn't say that she would be filial.
"Well, just for that." It is also best not to see each other from now on, but Xiao Lan recited this sentence silently in her heart.
"Three years, if I don't wait, you won't regret it?" Liu Shaofan's gaze at Xiao Lan instantly became cold, and he wondered in his heart if she had heard something and was bewitched!
"That can only mean that our fate is not enough, this necklace will help me return it to my aunt." Saying that, Xiao Lan untied the necklace she had been wearing since her twentieth birthday, she still remembered how happy and excited she was when she got the gift, even if she later learned that the gift was not prepared by himself, it was just self-comforting, he was too manly, and he was embarrassed to buy the little girl's gift in person.
"You want to break off with me?" Liu Shaofan didn't take the necklace, looking at Xiao Lan not far behind, his voice became extremely cold, a woman will have such a big change, the only possibility is that she has changed her mind!
"Brother Mu?" Xiao Lan also seemed to feel it, so she looked back, but it was Shangguan Mu walking towards them, she was not very close to Shangguan Mu in her previous life, although the two elders were also very familiar, but Brother Mu was seven years older than her, and the contact between the two was naturally less, but at this time she was very happy to see him.
Because in his previous life, when the end of the world broke out, Brother Mu was being appointed as the deputy mayor of the capital, and he was finally dragged to death for the transfer of the people, and Xiao Lan still couldn't believe it when she heard the news.
"Little girl, Shaofan, what's the matter? In a fight? Shangguan Mu had just sent off the guests, and when he saw that their atmosphere was not quite right, he came over to take a look.
"Don't worry." Liu Shaofan felt that the timing of Shangguan Mu's appearance was too coincidental, could it be that the Shangguan family wanted to use this to get involved in the military world?
The Liu family and the Shangguan family are not close, because in private they prefer the Li family to take the position.
"The anger is really not small, women are used to hurt, even if Old Man Xiao is gone, the little girl can't be bullied by others." Although Shangguan Mu was laughing, his tone was unquestionable.
"Brother Mu, you misunderstood, we weren't quarreling, we just had some disagreements." Xiao Lan smiled back and explained softly, she was wondering if she should give Shangguan Mu some hints in advance when the time came.
"We don't disagree, Xiao Lan, you'd better remember what you said and did today, don't regret it and come to me again." Liu Shaofan is undoubtedly arrogant and conceited, how could he accept the woman who said she loved her yesterday, and today she is so determined to him in front of other men, so he left without looking back after dropping the cruel words.
Facing Shangguan Mu's curious gaze, Xiao Lan didn't hesitate to explain more, for her, she didn't care who sat down as the next governor, and who the power left by her grandfather was eventually swallowed up.
"Okay, if you don't want to say it, don't say it, let's go! Brother Mu sent you back, and asked me to say that Shaofan's kid is too ungraceful, and it's a good thing for you to see it early. Shangguan Mu said that these are really not for the power of the Xiao family, he is out of sincerity.
"Okay, then please trouble Brother Mu to send me to Wanlian, I'll go buy some things." Xiao Lan couldn't refuse Shangguan Mu's kindness, but she didn't dare to really let him send her back to the compound, otherwise the unhappiness with Liu Shaofan today would really be counted on him.
The monk couldn't hide from the temple, and Xiao Lan had to go home before dinner even if she didn't want to face Aunt Xiao.
"Xiao Lan, you still know that when you come back, a good family affair will be so tossed away by you!" At the dinner table, Xiao Yuerong shouted menacingly.
"Mom, it's okay for you to be quiet, my ears are about to be deafened by you!" Xu Jiating said dissatisfiedly while covering her ears, she felt that her mother must have entered menopause!
"Aunt, I really thought it through, please respect my decision." At noon, she only drank porridge and went shopping all afternoon, and now she is really hungry looking at the table full of dishes, and she has no strength and interest to quarrel at all.
Xiao Yuerong still wanted to speak, but was pulled down by Xu Qiang, "Okay, let's eat first, and we will talk after eating, although my father is gone, he has always said that he doesn't say anything about eating." ”
This time, Aunt Xiao may have thought of Old Man Xiao, so no matter how much dissatisfaction she had, she temporarily held back, which can be seen that she is actually a filial person.
After the meal, Xiao Lan knew that she couldn't escape, so she took the initiative to mention it: "Aunt, Xiaolan knows that you are for my good, but I really don't want to get married yet, I know that I am not good, but I still want to be like my cousin, while I am young, I want to do more things I like when I am young, I heard that my parents were very fond of traveling when they were young, and I plan to wait for my grandfather to follow the footprints in their diary after 100 days." ”
"Mom, what kind of society is it now, it's all free love, she doesn't want to marry you, and she can still pressure her to go to the church! If you want me to say that you should not worry about this, wash up and go to bed early. I didn't see that this girl still had a little vision, Xu Jiating rarely had a trace of love for this cousin.
"Forget it, I don't bother to care about you, today is your own choice, he regrets it in the future, don't come to cry with me. Let's go, let's go and rest, let's move home tomorrow, and I'm angry when I look at her. Xiao Yuerong glared at her daughter, but in the end, she didn't force Xiao Lan to call Mrs. Liu to apologize.
"Okay, Jiating, accompany your mother upstairs, Dad is drinking some tea." Xu Qiang gave his daughter a look and said.
After only he and Xiao Lan were left in the hall, he spoke again: "Xiao Lan really plans not to marry him?" ”
"Uncle, can you sue me why you don't like him all along?" Even his grandfather was deceived by him, Xiao Lan didn't understand why this uncle had always disliked Liu Shaofan, even in her previous life after she got married.
"Hehe, what does Xiaolan think of me treating your aunt? How did she treat me? Xu Qiang felt that she had really grown up.
"Well, uncle, you are very good to your aunt, you often let her, and your aunt also listens to your opinions." Speaking of this, Xiao Lan couldn't help but feel magical, her aunt's personality was very stubborn, and she often refuted her grandfather's words, but she was almost obedient to her uncle.
"A relationship, a marriage, you always have to be happy with each other to stay together, I just don't like that kid to take advantage of you, even if he will be good to you after marriage, but that kind of good, one day you will find that it is not what you want."
