The dinner of the Xu family was extraordinarily grand, with a four-meter-long dining table, the accompaniment of professional celebrity bands, the uniform and neat shuttle of maid costumes, the huge dining room, and the classic European style decoration, brilliant and luxurious, showing the nobility and elegance.

However, Xiao Yan, who had never seen anything in the world, was stunned, and she nervously grabbed Xu Jinqiao's arm, "Old, husband, is this a meal?" Will there be a lot of people coming to the party? ”

"No outsiders, it's just ......" Xu Jin Qiao frowned, he frowned unhappily at the current hostess of this house, she was busy greeting the maid cloth dishes, putting all kinds of meals in a reasonable position, in fact, there is a housekeeper, she doesn't need to do it herself, but her enthusiastic Cheng Dù taught him quite surprised!

Oh, for Xu Yan's sake, Jing Aihua is really able to bend and stretch!

And also...... How could this mother and son be willing to let the huge family business of the Xu family fall into his hands? Bearing the burden of humiliation is the best explanation!

Xiao Yan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but Xu Jin Qiao's pause made her heart hang in her throat again, "But what? ”

"It's okay, this is the Xu family entertaining you with the highest etiquette, which means that they have all recognized you, you should be happy." Xu Jin Qiao looked at her sideways, hiding his feelings, and his thin lips raised into a smile.

The corners of Xiao Yan's mouth twitched slightly, and his expression was incredible, "Huh? Is that so? Your father and Mrs. Xu accepted me so quickly? ”

"Because they don't have a second choice!" Xu Jin Qiao's heavy pupils crossed a trace of coldness, which was fleeting.

Xiao Yan swallowed her saliva, her mood was a little complicated, she didn't understand the depth and shallowness of their family, but this kind of insincere recognition, what was she happy about?

Xu Jin Qiao continued to comfort her with no relief, "Don't be nervous, just when you are a superstar now, and everyone here is your fan, then you will feel at ease!" ”

"Hmm." Xiao Yan nodded, tried to adjust his mentality, bloomed with a soft smile, took Xu Jinqiao's arm, and walked towards the restaurant.

"Hello young master! Hello young lady! ”

The two appeared, and all the servants bowed and saluted, Xu Yan hurriedly greeted him, smiling, "Big brother!" Sister-in-law! ”

"Hmm." Xu Jin Qiao replied lightly, his expression was indifferent, and he walked towards the table with Xiao Yan without any fluctuations.

His hegemony made Xiao Yan have no chance to greet Xu Yan, so he could only smile in return, Xu Yan seemed to be used to it, and continued to laugh without any temper.

The old man and Xu Jiangchong were seated, occupying both ends of the dining table, two chairs on each side, more than one meter apart, Xu Jin Qiao sat next to the old man, Xiao Yan was arranged opposite him, and the remaining two seats were Jing Aihua and Xu Yan.

The moment she saw Xiao Yan, Jing Aihua's heart beat faster, and her chest was obviously undulating, but she quickly lowered her eyelids, panted slightly, adjusted her mood, and then pretended to smile casually and asked, "Xiao Yan, I heard Aqiao's father say that your hometown is from Sichuanbei County, China, so I asked the chef to make dishes from northern Sichuan, but it may not be authentic, and I don't know if it suits your taste, if you don't like any dish, you can bring it up, don't be restrained, I'll find a good chef." ”

"It's okay, I'm not picky, thank you, Mrs. Xu." Xiao Yan hurriedly replied, her words were polite and detached, for this stepmother, she was very careful to deal with, for fear that she would accidentally get on the road, Xu Jiangchong is her own father, she has reason to trust, but stepmother has always been a vicious representative, and this woman must have some means, otherwise more than 20 years ago, she would not have been a junior who broke up the family of Xu Jin Qiao's biological mother Qiao Shu, and finally succeeded in taking the position!

Therefore, in line with the feeling of distress for Xu Jin Qiao, Xiao Yan naturally dislikes Jing Aihua in her heart, and even dislikes it very much, because Jing Aihua also gave birth to an indisputable Xu Yan, and she and Xu Jin Qiao divorced and separated for four years, and there were many twists and turns, and after several pains, she finally got married so far, and she didn't dare to announce it to the public.

Xiao Yan's words made Jing Aihua unable to take it for a while, so he stopped, and then said a few more innocuous words, Xiao Yan also dealt with it calmly, gags, and grievances.

When it was almost over, the old man spoke, "Alright, let's eat!" ”

"Wait!"

Xu Jin Qiao, who had always been silent, suddenly spoke, everyone's eyes were focused on his face, his dark eyes were shining, staring intently at the woman opposite, speaking slowly and loudly, "While the whole family is here, I will announce something." Xiao Yan and I have registered our marriage in China, Xiao Yan is now my legal wife, the marriage relationship is protected by law, and I am applying for immigration for her. Therefore, no matter how sincere or false you are to Xiao Yan, you can't change the fact that she became my wife, and this time, it is impossible for us to divorce again, even if I die! As for the Ye family, I will come forward to solve it, none of you should interfere, I can assure you that I will keep Xu Yan to the greatest extent within my ability, if you are not at ease, and what means will you use for me behind my back, so as to force me to give up Xiao Yan and marry Ye Meixuan, then, we will turn against each other and die in the net! ”

When he said this, his eyes slowly moved to Xu Jiangchong's face, there was still not much affection, but there was a cold sadness in his eyes, "The two most important women in my life, one has long left me, and the other is by my side." Father, if I am alone, the Xu family will definitely ...... Do not save zài! ”

This is a reminder and a warning, if a person has no concern, then what is there not to do?

Twenty years ago, Xu Jinqiao, who was not strong enough, almost stoned his biological father to death with a wine bottle for his mother, and betrayed the house and wandered abroad for fifteen years; And today he is strong enough if the woman he loves is hurt again......

Xu Jiangchong didn't dare to imagine, he couldn't help but feel a chill, this son has never been something he can control, Xu Jin Qiao has not inherited his character, but is very much like his grandfather, when he shouldn't be soft, he is absolutely ruthless, and he is also like his grandfather, with iron and bloody wrists, and a kind of wildness and fierceness that belongs to men in his bones!

This is what his deceased wife Qiao Shu gave him!

After so many years, he can't remember Qiao Shu's appearance clearly, but from Xu Jin Qiao's face, he can always see the charm that belongs to Qiao Shu, their mother and son are very similar, and he, as a father, is not very similar to Xu Jin Qiao, except for the nose and eyebrows, Xu Jin Qiao inherited him, and then the contour of facial features, which is not only like him, but also like Qiao Shu, or, it is a combination of their husband and wife.

Husband and wife......

This word came out of his mind unexpectedly, startling Xu Jiangchong, his face was a little pale, his expression was a little trance, he had been a husband and wife with Qiao Shu for fourteen years, but deep down in his heart, he never admitted that Qiao Shu was his wife, he hated that woman, under the same roof, they always lived separately, or he found an excuse to live outside and not go home, the reason why he gave birth to Xu Jin Qiao was because of the pressure of the old man, and because of the power of the Qiao family, he needed to give an explanation to the Qiao family, so he gave Qiao Shu a child.

Since he had this child, he didn't feel it when he was young, and as the child grew up, he felt like a nightmare, his son was not a relative, but like an enemy, against him everywhere, if it wasn't for Qiao Shu's obedience, he would have suspected that Xu Jin Qiao was not his species.

Now, this child has grown up, his wings are getting harder and harder, he has lost to his son in this life, even if he won Qiao Shu, but lost to Qiao Shu's son, now that he thinks about it, it is really a cycle of cause and effect, with such a son, he doesn't know whether he is fortunate or helpless.

Xu Jiangchong sighed, "Show me the marriage certificate." ”

Xu Jin Qiao carried it with him, one of the two red books was handed to Xu Jiangchong, and the other was handed to the old man, and said, "In addition, Xiao Yan has been pregnant for nearly three months, and the child in her belly is the great-grandson of her grandfather, and she is also ......" He looked at Xu Jiangchong again, and his tone was extremely heavy, "Father's eldest son and eldest grandson!" ”

Xu Jiangchong was shocked, opened the red marriage certificate in his hand, he looked at it carefully, his expression was surprised and happy, "Pregnant?" It's been three months! ”

Jing Aihua was shocked by this series of major events and couldn't react for a long time......

The old man frequently bowed his head and smiled, "It's a good thing, this is a good thing for double happiness!" Our Xu family has a descendant, and Xiao Yan is also my official granddaughter-in-law! ”

Xu Yan said "congratulations" repeatedly, he was very happy, but he sneered in his heart, no wonder Xu Jinqiao, who has always been arrogant, would agree to his threat regardless of his face, it turned out that when he was in City A, Xiao Yan was already pregnant, so he didn't dare to be known by Xiao Yan!

And getting married...... Oh, probably because he was afraid of the East Window incident, so he blocked Xiao Yan's back road in advance, and when he announced it at this time, he was also telling him, even if he poked out the incident that night and handed the video to Xiao Yan, he Xu Jin Qiao was not worried that Xiao Yan would leave, as long as there was a marriage certificate, Xiao Yan couldn't leave even if he wanted to!

Just thinking to himself, a sharp gaze suddenly shot over, and Xu Jin Qiao's deep and handsome face actually had a faint smile, "Xu Yan, you should like your nephew, right?" Should...... You won't bully him, will you? ”

"Uh, big brother, what do you say? Of course I like it, this is my only little nephew, how can I bully? Xu Yan was stunned and pulled his lips unprepared.

The old man's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly, "Xu Yan, your sister-in-law now has a body, and she is the key protection object of our family, you weigh it yourself, if you don't know the proportions, don't blame grandpa for not reminding you, you will bear the consequences, you know?" ”

"Yes, listen to grandpa, you brothers get along well, grandpa and dad are no longer here, and your eldest brother will be your only relative!" Xu Jiangchong was also busy reminding his youngest son, for fear that Xu Yan would do something irreparable.

Jing Aihua was silent, always thinking about something in a trance.

Xu Yan pulled his lips and smiled, "I understand, I cherish my eldest brother, and for the sake of my eldest brother, I will definitely be good to my sister-in-law and nephew." ”

"Oh, I hope so." Xu Jin Qiao hooked his lips and spit out ambiguously.

Xiao Yan'an sat quietly, in this undercurrent turbulent atmosphere, she didn't dare to speak indiscriminately, no matter how surprised she was, she had to hold back and ask Xu Jin Qiao when there was no one in private, he didn't say a word to her in advance, but he suddenly gave her a correct name, and maintained her like this, the joy and sweetness in her heart were self-evident.

"Mr. Xu, Miss Ye is here!"

At this moment, a servant suddenly came in to report, everyone was shocked, Xiao Yan was obviously excited, but he heard Xu Jin Qiao quickly and decisively, "No! Tell Miss Ye that I will go to Ye's house another day and ask her to be safe and restless! ”

"Yes!" The servant responded, and when he saw that the old man and Xu Jiangchong did not react, he turned around and went out to deal with it.

Xu Jin Qiao then comforted the little woman opposite, "Bao'er, don't worry, I'll take care of it." ”

Xiao Yan nodded, her heart was still a little chaotic, she didn't know if it was a woman's sixth sense, she always felt that something would happen, she and Xu Jin Qiao would not be as smooth as she imagined......

"Bao'er?" Xu Jiang raised his eyebrows and said with interest, "Is this Xiao Yan's name?" ”

Xiao Yan heard the inquiry, and smiled lightly at Xu Jiangchong, "Yes, Dad, my milk name is Bao'er, and it turned out to be my big name, but Jin Qiao disliked my name because it was too earthy, so he changed my name to Xiao Yan for my household registration!" ”

"Then your original name is ......" Jing Aihua suddenly interjected, staring at Xiao Yan without blinking, her lips trembling slightly, "Is it called Xiao Bao'er?" ”

"yes." Xiao Yan nodded.

Jing Aihua smiled, and naturally asked, "Who gave you the name?" I think it's pretty good. ”

"Well, it's the name my mother gave me, my family is from the countryside, and the names are all casually rustic, and there is no deep meaning." Xiao Yan replied truthfully.

Xu Jin Qiao was annoyed by hearing it, and when he saw Jing Aihua, he was annoyed, not to mention that he had listened to the woman's rambling for so long, so he immediately interrupted, "Okay, let's eat." ”

"Yes, yes, eat, the girl is a double body, even if the adults are not hungry, the children are hungry!" The old man remembered this stubble and hurriedly urged.

"Okay." Jing Aihua responded respectfully, and intimately instructed the servant, "Take light and nutritious dishes for the young lady, don't be too greasy, and wait for it." ”

"Thank you, ma'am!" Xiao Yan smiled politely.

……

Wen Seung-hyuk lived in the house of the village committee for four or five days, and only after recuperating his leg did he go back to school.

Walking from the sheep intestine path, I saw Ni Rui and Tang Siqi taking the children to play games in the courtyard from a distance, and the atmosphere was very lively.

In the past few days, Ni Rui has not seen him again, not once, and has not even promised to send him food, three meals a day, which were given to him by the women's director of the village committee on time and on time.

"Xiaorui, is this garland beautiful? I made it up and gave it to you. Tang Siqi suddenly took out something from the clothes behind him and showed it in front of Ni Rui, like a treasure, a young face, full of vitality, full of vitality in the sun.

Ni Rui opened her mouth wide unexpectedly, "Wow, it's so beautiful!" Si Qi, you can weave a wreath, you are amazing! ”

"Of course, I learned from Xiaoya." Tang Siqi raised his eyebrows proudly and pointed to a little girl in the group of children.

One child shouted, "Teacher Ni, you are like a bride wearing a garland!" ”

"Yes, yes, Teacher Ni must be very beautiful as a bride!"

"Teacher Ni, put on the garland!"

The children coaxed and surrounded Ni Rui and Tang Siqi in the center, Ni Rui smiled shyly, and shook her head again and again, "Don't wear it, don't wear it, the teacher is not married yet, where is the bride!" ”

"If Teacher Ni and Teacher Tang get married, they can be brides!" The little girl clapped her palms, jumping and jumping.

The other child waved his hand, "No, Teacher Ni is Uncle Wen's girlfriend, and she should marry Uncle Wen and be Uncle Wen's bride!" ”

Hearing the child's words, Ni Rui's expression darkened sharply, it seemed to be telepathy, she subconsciously turned her head to look at the mountain road, but then she was stunned and stiff!

Wen Chenghe stood at the intersection with a long body, staring at her for a moment, his handsome face did not have too many expressions, very light, very serene.

Ni Rui's abnormality made Tang Siqi follow and divert his gaze, and after not seeing Wen Chenghe for a few days, the man was a lot haggard and looked a little decadent!

Love is really a deadly poison, but Wen Chenghe also deserves it, who told him that he didn't cherish Ni Rui well?

Thinking like this, Tang Siqi suddenly took a sip, wasn't he himself poisoned? Leaving a good coffee shop unattended, he went to the poor ravine to be a volunteer teacher, what did he do for?

"Si Qi, you put a garland on me."

Ni Rui's voice suddenly sounded in her ears, her voice was very low, and the word please was written in her eyes, Tang Siqi was in a good mood, and grinned happily, he picked up the garland, stood in front of Ni Rui, carefully put it on top of her head, and asked with a fake smile, "Teacher Ni, please marry me!" ”

"Bang Bang!"

Seeing this, all the children applauded excitedly and shouted loudly, "Teacher Ni and Teacher Tang are getting married!" Teacher Ni is going to be a bride! ”

Ni Rui looked shy, her face flushed slightly, Tang Siqi was excited, with an instinctive reaction, he hugged Ni Rui suddenly, and gave her a kiss on the forehead, and confessed in an unsteady voice, "Teacher Ni, I love you!" ”

Ni Rui was stunned, her eyes suddenly widened, and she couldn't believe it, "What did you say?" ”

"It's okay, I'll act with you." Tang Siqi hurriedly explained, he was very nervous, for fear that she would push him away and slap him on the spot.

After all, he kissed her abruptly without her consent.

Ni Rui breathed a sigh of relief, okay, since it is acting, then you have to act more realistically, otherwise you can't fool the shrewd man.

Wen Chenghyuk's tall body shook uncontrollably, his eyes stared at this scene, he couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe it!

However, even if you close your eyes and open them again, you can't turn back time, and the facts still can't be changed.

He lost Ni Rui, the little girl who had been behind him for several years, and he accidentally lost it......

In the corner of Ni Rui's eyes, Wen Chenghe walked step by step, and the sadness in his eyes was like white frost on a winter night, as cold as snow in his heart.

The tip of her nose suddenly became sore, and the place in her heart was so painful that she couldn't breathe, but she hugged Tang Siqi with her backhand, buried her face in his chest, and forced herself not to look, not to think, and not to love ...... anymore

When passing by her side, Wen Chenghe paused, his throat hoarse, "Ni Rui, come in, I have a few things to explain to you." ”

“…… Good. Ni Rui's heart was beating wildly, and she hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

Tang Siqi's lips moved, wanting Ni Rui not to be fooled, but he didn't say anything, he was not Ni Rui's person, and he was not qualified to interfere with her freedom.

Wen Chenghe led the way into the house, Ni Rui let go of Tang Siqi, and then followed, Tang Siqi sighed and beckoned the children back to the classroom.

The door closed, time passed, and neither of the two people knew how to speak, and the atmosphere was awkward and dull.

In the end, it was Ni Rui who said first, "If you have anything, just say it, I'll listen." ”

"I will leave the village tomorrow and go to the county for a meeting to further discuss the construction of the school and the road, and then go directly from Wushan County to Tianshui City, and then transfer to the plane back to City A." Wen Chenghe squirmed his lips and said slowly.

"Oh." Ni Rui's heart trembled, but she didn't come out, nodded indifferently, and said mechanically, "Have a safe journey." ”

Wen Chenghe hooked his lips with a wry smile, he raised his wrist and looked at the table below, "It's four o'clock in the afternoon, and the children are about to get out of school, you shouldn't have any classes, go out for a walk with me, since I came here, I haven't carefully appreciated the scenery in the mountains." ”

"I ...... You can shop around yourself, I'll have to cook dinner later. Ni Rui bit her lip and hesitated to refuse.

Wen Chenghyuk raised his lips self-deprecatingly, and his words were full of bitterness, "Why, don't you even want to get along for the last time after breaking up?" I'll leave tomorrow, we won't see each other for a long time, even if it's ordinary friends, it's human nature to say goodbye before leaving. ”

"......" Ni Rui didn't say anything more, thought for a moment, and then reluctantly nodded, "Okay." ”

The two stepped out of the mud tile house, Ni Rui led the way, Wen Chenghe followed behind, all the way to the top of the mountain.

The sun is about to set, there is no good scenery in the village, but it is still good to watch the sunset at the top of the mountain, and from the top of the mountain to the side of the mountain, there are several sunflowers planted in the field, this season, although the golden sunflowers are almost past the flowering period, but they are also very beautiful, wandering in it, it will feel very romantic.

Ni Rui thought so crankily, and suddenly smiled silently, they have all broken up, they are not lovers anymore, what are you going to be romantic?

The road up the mountain is very narrow and full of potholes, Wen Chenghe doesn't walk often, and his left leg has just been injured, so he walks very carefully, but seeing Ni Rui's steps like the wind, he was afraid that he would fall too far behind her, so he couldn't help but speed up his pace in a hurry.

"Phew!"

In a hurry, he didn't notice the gravel under his feet, Wen Chenghe still accidentally stumbled, and Ni Rui immediately turned around, "What's wrong with you?" Did you fall? ”

"It's not steady." Wen Chenghe tried to kick back, but his thick eyebrows were frowning.

Ni Rui walked back to him, thought about it and said, "Why don't you go back, you just ...... a few days ago"

"No, I can hold on, it's fine." Wen Chenghe hurriedly refused, and emphasized, "You promised to accompany me to visit the scenery, and you broke your promise." ”

His nervous appearance made Ni Rui's heart sour, she sighed and said, "Okay, I won't break my promise, as long as you can go, we will continue." ”

"When the road is too steep, you pull me."

“…… Well. ”

The two walked forward again, and Wen Chenghe asked softly, "Since you arrived here, have you often walked the mountain road?" ”

"Yes, often going up and down the river with the children to experience different fun, it can also be regarded as exercise." As long as there are no emotional problems involved, Ni Rui can also chat with him happily.

"Oh, then you didn't start learning your cooking skills until you got here?" Seeing her change from a big lady who doesn't touch the spring water with her fingers to a housewife who can cook skillfully, Wen Chenghe is very distressed, it is because of him that she has suffered so much, she should have lived in the city and enjoyed a superior life, and she should have been held in the palm of her hand by a man.

Ni Rui said happily, "Yes, you have to support yourself." ”

Wen Chenghe followed her steps and paralleled her, "Can you really get used to staying in the mountain village for so long?" There's no electronic high-tech stuff here, not even Wi-Fi, aren't you bored? ”

"It's good to stay away from urban life, quiet and far-reaching, only when people are quiet will they think about something, and they will not let the impetuous * lose themselves." Ni Rui thought about it and smiled.

Wen Chenghe sighed sincerely, "Ni Rui, you have changed, compared with before, you have become mature and intellectual, and you have also become detached and indifferent. ”

"Perhaps, after some experiences, people will always learn to grow up." Ni Rui lowered her eyelids, and the shadows of the two occasionally met together, as if they were one.

Wen Seunghyuk looked at her sideways, with anticipation in his eyes, "Will you learn to forget?" ”

"Yes." Ni Rui nodded affirmatively, her eyes met him, and she said calmly, "If you don't love, you don't hate, and if you don't complain, you won't be angry." ”

Wen Chenghyuk's eyes dimmed, and he laughed at himself, "Heh, in this case, I'd rather you hate me than you don't love me." ”

Ni Rui pursed her lips and took a big stride forward, no longer paying attention to him, her heart was in a mess.

Wen Chenghe pinched his eyebrows and forced himself to calm down, finally she was willing to accompany him on this last journey, he hoped to say goodbye peacefully, instead of ending with a break and quarrel.

Even if you really can't be a lover anymore, I hope you can still be a friend, so that he can care about her and accompany her as a friend.

Climb to the top of the mountain, and the sun has already set most of it.

Looking at the rolling mountains in the distance, the sunset will dye the distant mountains red, the same color as the sky, gorgeous and beautiful.

"Is it pretty? I often stand in this place and enjoy the sunset. Ni Rui asked.

Wen Chenghe put one hand in his trouser pocket, and a faint smile appeared on his lips, "It's beautiful, it should be good to stand here and watch the sunrise." ”

"Yes, I've also seen it, I can't sleep in the morning, so I get up to watch the sunrise, and the original scenery of mountains and forests can cultivate people's temperament." Ni Rui also laughed, quiet and lively.

Wen Chenghe couldn't help but stretch out his big palm, gently stroked the black hair of her shawl, and his voice was as soft as the wind, "In the future, take care of your body in the days when I am not there, I won't bother you too much, but I ask you to allow me to call you once a week, I just want to know, are you doing well, are you sick, are you in a bad mood, have you eaten and slept well, have you been bullied by Tang Siqi, and have you ...... Is that possible? ”

Did you miss me......

If you choke in your throat, you can only swallow it back in your stomach in the end, and you can't ask questions, and you don't dare to hope for it.
