Chapter 66: The Engagement
Chapter 66: The Engagement
"I think the way a man loves a woman is to have the courage to assume his own share of responsibility, so I want to marry Nanhe......"
Ruan Xiaotian is only a few months older than Shen Nanhe, but at this moment, from the expression on his face, no one will think that he is a child, but a man who stands up to the sky.
When the words fell, a flash of surprise quickly flashed in Shen Nanhe's eyes.
Jiang Qiyuan's hand on his knee curled up almost irrepressibly.
The people on the sofa also had different faces.
Xu was silent for ten seconds, and it was Ruan Xiaotian who was the first to speak, he looked at Jiang Shouheng, and said loudly, "Grandpa, you can say that you grew up watching me grow up, what kind of person am I, you know, hand over Nanhe to me, I won't disappoint you and everyone." ”
Jiang Shouheng glanced at Ruan Xiaotian, and after a few seconds, he nodded lightly, and then said. "I am the head of this family, but for the marriage matter, I still have to ask Nanhe to make up my mind with her parents, you can discuss it."
When Ruan Xiaotian heard this, he looked at Su Yang and Shen Qingyuan, who didn't know what to say.
With a pause in his head, Ruan Xiaotian said loudly, "Uncle, aunt, please say something about me and Nanhe." ”
At this point, Su Yang and Shen Qingyuan had no other feelings than to feel embarrassed by the Jiang family.
Shen Qingyuan couldn't see the joy and anger on his face, and said loudly, "Although we are Nan He's parents, Nan He has not been by our side all these years, and has neglected to take care of and understand her...... I really don't think we're qualified to make up our minds, so ...... Let's ask Dad to take the idea. ”
In the final analysis, we still have to listen to Jiang Shouheng's words.
When Jiang Shouheng heard this, he looked sideways at Shen Nanhe beside him, and then said softly, "Nanhe, tell your grandfather, what do you think in your heart?" ”
Shen Nanhe lowered his gaze slightly, and he could see Jiang Qiyuan sitting on the sofa on the right side, he was stiff, and the fingers on his legs trembled slightly and invisibly.
He can't be indifferent after all......
Seeing this scene, Shen Nanhe was no longer happy in his heart, because since he refused to recognize the child in her belly, she reluctantly eliminated him from her heart.
Finally, they made it this far.
With a slight movement in his throat, Shen Nanhe swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then said softly, "Grandpa, I listen to my family's opinions." ”
Jiang Shouheng nodded, then raised his eyes and said loudly, "Since the two families are sitting together, with the relationship between us, there is no need to go outside, what do you have to say, what do you think about the two children?" ”
Ruan Jiacheng spoke up first, "We listen to the Jiang family." ”
Jiang Shouheng glanced at Shen Qingyuan and Su Yang on the side, both of them lowered their heads, Xu is words in the ward that day, so that the two of them didn't dare to talk much.
Fang Na even avoided her gaze, after all, Shen Nanhe was Jiang Shouheng's heart, and suddenly something like this happened, she didn't know what Jiang Shouheng was thinking in her heart, she couldn't help but say the wrong thing, or not say it.
Jiang Yusheng is not at home, and the Jiang family is still left with Lin Xi, Jiang Qiyuan and Jiang Zhihao.
Jiang Yusheng looked at Jiang Zhihao first, and said loudly, "Zhihao, what is your opinion on the matter between Nanhe and Xiaotian?" ”
Jiang Zhihao sat there, with no superfluous expression on his beautiful face, and after a pause, he spoke, "I only want Nanhe to be happy, I agree with whatever she chooses." ”
After that, Jiang Zhihao glanced at Ruan Xiaotian, and in the depths of his eyes, he seemed to be suppressing something.
Jiang Shouhengfu looked at Jiang Qiyuan again, and then said, "Qiyuan, what about you?" ”
Finally, it was asked to his head.
Even if Jiang Qiyuan was mentally prepared, the moment Jiang Shouheng called his name, he still couldn't stop tensing.
Gently raising his gaze, which had been slightly drooping, Jiang Qiyuan's handsome face seemed to be indifferent, his thin lips opened lightly, and he said, "Nanhe and Xiaotian are too young, they have just graduated from high school, and they are getting married now, so it is inevitable that they will be in a hurry, and there are still some gossips outside, if the two get married now, I am afraid that they will fall into their mouths." ”
Jiang Shouheng looked at Jiang Qiyuan, as if he nodded slightly, and after a few seconds, he said to Lin Xi, "What do you say?" ”
Lin Xi has been by Jiang Shouheng's side for more than 20 years, and she can probably figure out his thoughts, so she said softly, "I think what Qi Yuan said is that getting married...... It's too early. ”
Jiang Shouheng looked away, pondered for a long time, and then said, "Jiacheng, or we should be like this." ”
Ruan Jia Chengcheng looked at it seriously, only to hear Jiang Shouheng say loudly, "I also think that Nanhe and Xiaotian are still too young, and they can't get married just as adults." ”
Ruan Jiacheng responded, "Yes, yes." ”
Jiang Shouheng said, "Let's let the two get engaged first, and after they graduate from college, it's not too late to get married." ”
Jiang Shouheng's words are undoubtedly like the emperors of the past, golden mouths and jade words, and they fell into stone.
From this moment on, the relationship between Shen Nanhe and Ruan Xiaotian is engagement.
The moment I heard this, many people's hearts must have been slammed, and I couldn't say whether they were surprised or shocked.
Shen Nanhe was fully prepared, but at this moment, it was inevitable that his eyes sank, and his heart was filled with a thick sourness.
Jiang Shouheng said that he was engaged, and the Ruan family said that it was good, after all, the children of the two families were childhood sweethearts, and they were able to come to this point, saying that it was an accident, but it was actually expected, but it was just a process, with some twists and turns.
Jiang Shouheng asked Shen Nanhe and Ruan Xiaotian, is it okay to get engaged first, Ruan Xiaotian nodded, there was no objection, Shen Nanhe didn't know what he said, he should agree, because she had no reason to disagree.
Just when the atmosphere was eased by the engagement of the two families, Shen Nanhe suddenly spoke.
"Grandpa."
Jiang Shouheng immediately turned his head sideways and said with a kind face, "Nanhe, what's wrong?" ”
Shen Nanhe raised his head slowly, a smile appeared on his pale face, and then said, "I want to discuss something with you." ”
Jiang Shouheng smiled and said, "Okay, you say." ”
Shen Nanhe said, "I want to go back to the United States to study." ”
When the words fell, the expressions on everyone's faces, I don't know how many times the Dao has changed today.
Even Jiang Shouheng's smile was slight, but soon, he smiled lightly and said, "Why do you suddenly want to go back to the United States?" ”
Shen Nanhe replied softly, "Actually, I mentioned to you a long time ago that I wanted to go back, and if something like this happened this time, I also want to go abroad to stay for a while." ”
Jiang Shouheng said, "Are you afraid of what the Hong Kong media will say?" Don't worry, grandpa will help you with it. ”
Shen Nanhe shook his head, and then said, "I just don't want to stay in Hong Kong......"
The smile on Jiang Shouheng's face was a little stiff, and after a few seconds, he said, "Your current body, my grandfather is not at ease, if you really want to go back, then you have to wait until your body is recovered." ”
Shen Nanhe heard this and nodded.
There was a sudden silence in the room, and no one knew what to do next.
After all, it was Ruan Xiaotian who said loudly, "Don't worry, I will accompany Nanhe back to the United States." ”
Everyone's eyes were focused on Ruan Xiaotian again, and Ruan Xiaotian said calmly, "As of this year, Nanhe and I have been inseparable for twelve years, and I have said before that no matter where she goes, I will go, and this time, it is no exception." ”
Ruan Mingfei and his wife were noncommittal, Ruan Jiacheng said loudly, "It's okay, Nanhe goes back by himself, everyone is not at ease, no matter what, Xiaotian is also a boy, with him by Nanhe's side, everyone can feel at ease." ”
After chatting for less than ten minutes, Shen Nanhe said, "Grandpa, I'm a little tired. ”
Jiang Shouheng immediately said, "Then hurry up and go up and rest." ”
Shen Nanhe stood up, bowed his head to the Ruan family, and said loudly, "Uncle Ruan, Uncle Ruan, aunt, I lost my company first." ”
Several people immediately smiled and nodded.
Originally, Fang Na was going to help Shen Nanhe upstairs, but Ruan Xiaotian said loudly, "I'll send her up." ”
Shen Nanhe didn't refuse, and everyone couldn't say anything, because in their eyes, the two were destined to be together.
Ruan Xiaotian walked to Shen Nanhe's side, habitually reached out to help her, and then the two walked to the second floor together.
went back to Shen Nanhe's bedroom, the moment the door was closed, Shen Nanhe stood in place, motionless, she was still holding Ruan Xiaotian's hand, he clearly felt that she was trembling, and after a few seconds, he was not surprised to see her wrinkled facial features, and cried suppressedly.
Ruan Xiaotian's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he didn't say anything, just took her into his arms and patted her on the back.
Shen Nanhe didn't dare to cry, she bit her lip tightly, as if this was the way to digest all the grievances and pain.
Endured until choked, endured until nausea, endured until the heart throbbed one after another.
Shen Nanhe finally forced all his tears back into his eyes.
Taking a deep breath, she raised her head, gritted her teeth, and said, "I'm not crying. ”
Ruan Xiaotian felt sorry for Shen Nanhe, sighed, and he said loudly, "If you didn't mention the matter of the state just now, I also want to mention it to you in private, let's not stay in Hong Kong, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it." ”
Shen Nanhe's eyes were pupils, tears were rolling in her eyes, her lips opened lightly, and she said loudly, "Let's go, leave this place, I don't want to see him for the rest of my life." ”
Ruan Xiaotian is not a woman, and he is not a party, but he can clearly feel the depression in Shen Nanhe's heart.
Why did he talk about responsibility outside of his words, why did he take risks, and even did not hesitate to mention the word marriage, everything he did was just to let Jiang Qiyuan know that Shen Nanhe was a good girl, and it was his misfortune to miss her, he didn't love her, and some people loved her.
However, after a trial, it was still sad to end up.
Perhaps, he really doesn't love her......
This time, even Ruan Xiaotian felt helpless.
