149. With me, don't be afraid.
Early the next morning, Xia Nianxi was woken up by the maid, she had a lot to do, doing beauty, makeup, picking clothes, choosing accessories, obviously there were four maids helping her, she was so busy that she didn't have any time to rest.
They want to worship their grandparents first.
The Peng family is a scholarly family, and the grandparents are all people who have the right to speak in the country, after the death of the two old men, the Peng family is now Peng Jiaxi's younger brother, that is, Xia Nianxi's legendary uncle, Peng Jiamu, a non-black and white businessman.
Peng Jiamu didn't want to go into politics or art, so he went abroad to work hard at the age of twelve, and when he returned to Peng's family, he had already founded an internationally renowned consortium.
Because Peng Jiamu was burdened with the mark of the underworld, the other relatives of the Peng family slowly distanced themselves from him.
As soon as I entered the Peng family's mansion, there was a hint of coldness everywhere.
Peng Jiamu stood at the door, dressed in a black suit, holding a hand-carved crutch, with a smile on his face, but his eyes made people's hearts tremble, "Sister, brother-in-law, you are here." ”
Mrs. Situ looked reproachful, "Well, why are you so lonely here?" ”
Peng Jiamu walked up to her sister and looked at Situ Feng.
Both of them are extraordinary, in another place, they may be enemies, but they are the relationship between brother-in-law and brother-in-law.
"Brother-in-law, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Situ Feng's expression was deep, and his voice carried a hint of anger, "Over there in Central Africa, your movements are so big, even the government can't do anything about you!" ”
Seeing that the two were about to go toe-for-tat, Mrs. Situ pulled Xia Nianxi forward with a blind face, "This is Nianxi." ”
The tense aura eased slightly, and Peng Jiamu looked at Xia Nianxi, his eyes seemed to be able to see through everything about a person, which made people shudder.
"Well, let's go pay homage to my parents first."
The group followed Peng Jiamu and walked towards the ancestral hall.
Xia Nianxi saw that he walked calmly, and she didn't understand why he was on crutches, but she didn't have the courage to ask, at least not here.
After worshipping grandparents and grandparents, everyone left, giving her mother some time alone, Xia Nianxi walked into the yard and looked at the deserted yard, and no one cleaned up the weeds in the distance.
The footsteps slowly approached, Xia Nianxi turned around, and saw her uncle standing two meters away from her.
"Hello uncle."
"Twenty years of blankness, your mother is trying to make it up to you. But I want you to remember one thing, it's not your mother's fault, don't resent her. ”
The last few words even carry a hint of threat.
Xia Nianxi's body stiffened, this uncle is so terrible.
"Why are you here?" Mrs. Situ came over, her face was a little pale, her eyes were ruddy, she should have cried just now, =.
Xia Nianxi stepped forward and held her arm.
Mrs. Situ smiled and patted her hands, "I'm fine." It's time for us to go. Jiamu, it's my birthday in the evening, are you coming? ”
"Look at the time, sister."
Mrs. Situ said earnestly: "You are forty-two years old, don't think about making money every day, find someone to settle down as soon as possible." Otherwise, I don't know how to explain it to my parents. ”
"yes, I see."
"If you know, you have to do it!"
Mrs. Situ couldn't do anything about this younger brother since she was a child, and when she left, she sighed frequently, "It's really stubborn!" ”
Next, a family of four sat in the car and rushed to the charity foundation.
This foundation, which is mainly used to help women suffering from cancer in society, is the largest women's cancer charity foundation in the country, and has been ranked in the top 10 of the United Nations charity influence more than once.
This is a charity under the Situ family, which is very helpful to the corporate image of the Situ family, so I have to visit it every year on my birthday.
As soon as I got out of the car, reporters rushed up.
Mrs. Situ was dressed in a proper cheongsam and wore the ancestral jade necklace earrings and bracelets of the Situ family on her wrists, which was elegant and warm.
The four men were escorted into the Foundation by bodyguards.
Standing at the front desk, Mrs. Situ gently patted Xia Nianxi's hand, with an expectant look in her eyes, "Nianxi, when the baby is born, you can come to the foundation to help your mother." ”
Xia Nian held her hand and smiled without saying a word.
She is now full of thoughts on the child, and I don't know if she will be willing to leave him after he is born.
This child is different from other children, what if he is born in poor health?
There were too many uneasy factors in her heart, the Foundation's affairs were too serious, and she was not sure that she could do it.
Situ Feng put his arm around his wife's shoulders and pressed one hand on his daughter's shoulder, "I'll talk about it later, it's too early for her to choose." ”
Finding that she was a little anxious, Mrs. Situ was stunned for a second, and nodded again and again, "You're right, look at me in a hurry!" ”
A public relations lady stepped forward, "Mr. Situ, Mrs. Situ, the reporter friends have arrived, it's time for you to play." ”
The Situ family of four was about to speak on stage, which made Xia Nianxi mind a little in her heart, she didn't want to expose herself like this.
But apart from her, they all seemed to be used to it.
The four of them walked across the red carpet, and the reporters all rushed up, and Mrs. Situ responded to the reporters' various tricky questions elegantly and decently.
Xia Nianxi was afraid that her identity would affect her mother's work today, so her heart was raised.
She hopes that these reporters will not point the finger at her, she just wants to be a little transparent.
"Mrs. Situ, may I ask who this young lady is?" The reporter still pointed the finger at Xia Nianxi.
Even if Situ Yin rarely appears in the media, most people still know the eldest lady of the Situ family, and on such an important occasion, the girl who appeared in the Situ family's family of four turned out to be a woman who looked familiar but couldn't name it.
There's definitely something wrong with it, everyone smells the headlines!
"This is my daughter, Situ Nianxi."
Journalists still want to dig up the news again, but they have been stopped by public relations.
When the press conference was held, Xia Nianxi was sitting backstage, she could hear Mrs. Situ talking in front, but she didn't expect her mother, who has always been gentle, to be so comfortable when facing reporters again.
"Mom is amazing!" She reached out and grabbed the corner of Situ Xian's clothes.
Situ Xian seemed to be used to it, sat next to Xia Nianxi and said, "The women of the Situ family are required to face public relations. When you get better, you have to practice. ”
"Ahh
Situ Xian reached out and pushed her forehead, "Ah what, do you think rich people are so good?" Silly! ”
When I left the charitable foundation, I just walked to the door and ran into a strange woman.
Also dressed in a cheongsam, lilac, with hair coiled behind his head, at first glance, I really thought it was in the thirties.
Unlike Mrs. Situ's improved cheongsam, this young lady's cheongsam is very pure, very similar to the cheongsams Xia Nianxi saw in the Shen family.
"Mrs. Situ, I didn't expect to meet here."
"Miss Shen, it's such a surprise to meet you here." The two smiled and shook hands, looking friendly.
Miss Shen looked at the three people behind Mrs. Situ, and finally focused on Xia Nianxi, "Miss Situ, please take care of me when we meet for the first time, I'm Shen Qingsang." ”
Mrs. Situ looked at Xia Nianxi, "Miss Shen has always been a supporter of public welfare, she was one of the top 50 global environmental defenders last year, and she is also the only Asian woman. ”
Xia Nianxi smiled and stretched out her hand to shake her hand, "Miss Shen is good." ”
"Miss Situ is really beautiful, and it seems that she has inherited Mrs. Situ's good genes. This time it happened to be Mrs. Situ's birthday, so she didn't mind if I brought my friends along. I know your birthday dinner is always private......"
"Miss Shen's friend, we naturally welcome you. Xian, don't give the invitation to Miss Shen yet. ”
Situ Xian handed a VIP invitation card from his assistant's hand to Shen Qingsang with both hands, "Welcome Miss Shen and your friends." ”
Shen Qingsang took the invitation with a smile, "Thank you"
At about six o'clock in the evening, the family had just returned to Situ's house after being busy, and there were already guests here.
Mrs. Situ saw that Xia Nianxi's face was not good, so she immediately asked the servant to send her back to the room to rest, and went to change her clothes and continue to greet the guests.
Back in the room, Xia Nianxi lay on the bed, raised her legs, her calves seemed to be really swollen, she was really getting more and more useless.
fell asleep while lying down, and finally Meng Yao shook her awake, "Pig, get up, the dinner is about to start, you won't wake up again, you can't keep up with the change of clothes." ”
Xia Nianxi opened his eyes in a daze, "Meng Yao? ”
"Come, you come and help her change her clothes." Meng Yao stood up and commanded the maid who was waiting behind.
The four maids helped Xia Nianxi change her clothes and put on her shoes, and when she finished changing her clothes, she was pushed to the dressing room again, Meng Yao stood aside and watched, and the two seemed to have returned to a year ago.
Meng Yao was still standing in that position at that time, they were in a hurry to participate in an event, but the makeup artists were all snatched away by Xia Ruoxue, and when they put her on makeup, there were only ten minutes left, and the two of them pretended to be calm, and the sweat in their palms was about to flow down.
"Her blush is a little heavy, and the lights will shine for a while, it's too ugly!"
"Hurry up, you're going on stage, just draw casually!" The agent was shouting anxiously at the door.
Xia Nianxi got up, stood in front of Meng Yao, and asked nervously, "How is it?" ”
Meng Yao nodded vigorously, "Well, it's beautiful, come on, this is your first time participating in a reality show, don't be nervous, come on!" ”
……
Both of them seemed to think of the incident, and their eyes met in the mirror, and both of them smiled.
Meng Yao pressed her hands on her shoulders, "It's been so long, sometimes I look at you and feel like a dream!" ”
Xia Nianxi stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Do you want me to pinch you and let this dream wake up." ”
Meng Yao took a step back and stuck out her tongue, "Don't, this is a sweet dream, okay!" ”
When the makeup was almost finished, Situ Xian knocked on the door and came in, "This is what Dad asked you to wear." ”
Xia Nianxi turned her head to look, and Meng Yao also glanced at it curiously.
The box opened, and a string of sapphire necklaces lay in the box, Xia Nianxi and Meng Yao were shocked, such a big gem, I'm afraid only the heart of the ocean in the movie can be compared.
"Daddy? Shouldn't it be given to mom? "Mother's birthday, why did you give her such an expensive necklace.
"Mom doesn't like gemstones, and this one isn't for her. Come, I'll put it on for you! Situ Xian put the box in Meng Yao's hand, took the necklace, and bent down to put it on Xia Nianxi.
The cool gemstone was attached between her collarbones, and under the light, the gemstone shimmered with understated luxury, and unlike the brilliance of the diamond, the sapphire was thicker.
"Let's go, our little princess." Situ Xian stretched out his hand gentlemanly.
Xia Nianxi smiled at him, walked to the table, took the wrapped gift, and put his hand in his hand.
"Got a gift?" Situ Xian raised his eyebrows and looked at the box in her hand curiously.
Xia Nianxi gave the box to Meng Yao and looked at Situ Xian, "Of course." ”
Coming out of the room, there were already a lot of people gathered in the living room, and there were quite a few people outside.
Coming down the stairs, many people's eyes focused on Xia Nianxi, some people had participated in the welcome party held by the Situ family for Xia Nianxi, knowing that this is now the young lady of the Situ family, and many people saw her for the first time.
Xia Nianxi nervously stuck to Situ Xian.
"Don't be nervous, don't forget who you are, these people are glamorous, but they're all here to slap us. You are the eldest lady of the Situ family, with a noble status, and it is they who should be nervous. Situ Xian raised her hand, and the diamond bracelets on their wrists shone brightly.
Xia Nianxi wanted to ask him, this necklace represents the noble identity of the Situ family, so why didn't Situ Yin take it back?
"I want to ask you something-"
"Situ Xian!"
Not far away, Xuanyuan Xuexue stared at Situ Xian with an angry face.
Xia Nianxi hurriedly let go of Situ Xian, and when she saw the girl, she felt a headache, "Your business, don't involve me, I'll withdraw first." ”
was about to slip past Xuanyuan Xuexue, but as soon as he passed, he was dragged by Xuanyuan Xuexue.
Xia Nianxi looked at her, "Uh......"
Xuanyuan Xuexue lowered her head, and her voice was the same as that of a mosquito, "Thank you!" ”
I didn't expect this little girl to be good, at least she knew how to thank her, and winked at Situ Xian, don't bully other little girls.
"No thanks."
Smiled and slipped from the gate to the garden, there were brilliant lights everywhere, and I saw my mother standing and talking with a few foreigners from a distance, Xia Nianxi didn't come close to disturb them.
Turn around and walk towards your favorite little garden, where there is a gazebo and a swing.
Walking all the way, everyone who saw her greeted her with a smile, "Hello Miss Situ." ”
Xia Nianxi smiled back, walked to the swing and sat down, "I really don't like this kind of occasion." ”
It was more comfortable to swing alone, and as soon as she pressed her feet, the swing swung up.
Raising her feet and facing the night breeze, Xia Nianxi enjoyed the calm of this moment.
The swing swayed back and forth, and Xia Nianxi looked up at the night sky in a daze.
The swing slowly stopped, but it was set up again, maintaining a gentle rhythm, Xia Nianxi was immersed in his own world, and he didn't notice that there was a person standing behind him.
When she realized that something was wrong, she turned around suddenly, and saw Rong Xiu standing behind her, pulling the rope of the swing with both hands.
"Why are you here?" To get off the swing, Rong Xiu's hands held her hand one step earlier.
Xia Nianxi struggled hard, "Let go." ”
"Sit down." Rong Xiu's voice was gentle, but with a hint of irrefutable domineering.
Xia Nianxi made a straight face and turned away from him angrily.
The swing was pushed up, but Xia Nianxi didn't feel happy at all, every time she flew out, she seemed to escape far away, but every time she came back, her body was close to Rong Xiu, and his breath was pressed over, making Xia Nianxi breathless.
She tensed her body like this, and swung on the swing with Rong.
Until someone came over in the distance, "Nianxi! ”
"Doctor Joe!" Xia Nianxi seemed to see a savior, broke away from Rong Xiu with all his might, and ran to him, "My mother called me?" I'll go now. ”
Rong Xiu shouted: "Xia Nianxi! ”
Xia Nianxi stopped, but didn't look back at him, "The divorce agreement has been sent, please stop harassing me!" ”
Rong Xiu looked puzzled, "Divorce agreement?" What a divorce agreement, I didn't see it at all. ”
Xia Nianxi turned his head to look at him, "Then go and look for it, the divorce was proposed by me, please cooperate, I don't mind if you don't cooperate." It's just a marriage certificate, I can use the power of the Situ family to turn it into a piece of waste paper! ”
After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back.
Qiao Ancheng glanced at Rong Xiu deeply and walked behind Xia Nianxi.
Xia Nianxi ran to the depths of the garden, holding on to the trunk of the tree and panting, she finally said what she wanted to say, her vision was blurry, she reached out and wiped it off.
This farcical marriage, she wants to leave the last trace of dignity for it.
Standing up and about to walk back, he saw a sneaky person lingering in the back door in the distance.
"Who is it, come out, don't come out, I'm calling someone!"
When the man heard Xia Nianxi's voice, he was also stunned, and then walked out of the shadows.
"Situ Yin? How did you end up here?! ”
When Situ Yin saw Xia Nianxi, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and then she was pressed down, she walked up to Xia Nianxi with her head held high, "I've lived here for 22 years, why can't I come?" ”
The front is so lively, everyone's identity is different, and she is the absolute protagonist of such dinners in the past.
Now, she can only hide here, in a dark corner!
As soon as he thought of this, Situ Yin's eyes were full of hatred, all of this was harmed by Xia Nianxi!
Xia Nianxi's mood has been affected by Rong Xiu, she doesn't have a trace of tolerance now, especially a woman who has replaced her for twenty-two years, "This is no longer your home, please leave immediately!" ”
With that, she was leaving.
Situ Yin's eyes moved, revealing a pitiful expression, and he approached Xia Nianxi step by step, "Xia Nianxi, you are so pathetic." Do you really think that if you enter the Situ family, you are the young lady of the Situ family? Do you know what those subordinates say about you behind their backs? Do you know you can't get on the stage at all?! ”
The more he talked, the more vicious he became, Situ Yin stepped forward and grabbed Xia Nianxi's wrist, her diamond necklace was revealed, "Everything you have now is mine." You thief! ”
"Situ Yin, don't deceive people too much. I don't have much to say to you. ”
"This diamond bracelet, do you see it? This is the symbol of the Situ family, why is it still with me? Because my brother couldn't bear to take it. Mom doesn't make you breakfast every day, I tell you, those are good, they used to be mine. If I don't eat a meal, she will be so anxious that she will shed tears......"
She didn't want to listen to this, Xia Nianxi struggled hard.
Since she entered this home, she has never felt at ease for a moment.
She didn't know if the blood relationship could overcome the twenty-two years of getting along day and night, Situ Xian kidnapped her and humiliated her for the sake of his sister.
She couldn't forget these things, and they deepened her anxiety all the time, so she couldn't call him brother.
"Situ Yin, I won't believe you, I'm going to call the security guard!"
"You think I snuck in? Look at my clothes, look at you. Which of the two of us is more like sneaking in? I'll show you there! ”
Situ Yin dragged Xia Nianxi out, Xia Nianxi was dizzy, and her body staggered and was dragged away by her.
The two pushed and walked to the fountain pool at the door, Situ Yin pressed Xia Nianxi's shoulders and pushed her into the water, "See for yourself, Xia Nianxi, who is like a fake?" ”
Her stomach hurt, and Xia Nianxi's face turned pale.
She pushed Situ Yin in horror, "Let go of me, Situ Yin, don't touch me, I'm uncomfortable!" ”
Situ Yin seemed to be crazy, and he worked harder and harder, "You shouldn't exist at all!" Do you think Rong Xiu really likes you, he lived with me yesterday, and I already have her baby in my belly, you know? You poor wretch! ”
Seeing that Xia Nianxi was about to be pushed into the pool, Xia Nian suddenly kicked her calf, and Situ Yin let go of his hand in pain.
Turning around, Xia Nianxi kicked her in the stomach, and Situ Yin took a few steps back and fell to the ground.
Xia Nianxi looked at her and gasped, "Get out, madman!" ”
Xia Nianxi sat by the fountain, she covered her lower abdomen and murmured in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, baby, mom is here, don't be afraid!" ”
No one wants to hurt her children, no one.
Situ Yin's eyes were crazy, she got up from the ground, rushed towards Xia Nianxi, and pushed Xia Nianxi into the fountain pool with all her might.
"You dare to hit me, Xia Nianxi, you slut. Why do you dare to hit me! ”
The fountain pool is one meter and five deep, Xia Nianxi can't swim, plus she is not feeling well, as soon as she falls into the water, water gushes from all directions from her mouth, nose and ears.
"Get out of here!"
Rong Xiu, who suddenly ran over, pushed Situ Yin away, jumped into the water, and picked up Xia Nianxi from the water, "Nianxi!" Wake up. ”
Rong Xiu took her out, put her on the ground, and lowered her head to do artificial respiration.
Situ Xian ran over with a few people.
When Situ Yin saw Situ Xian, he immediately sat on the ground with snot and tears and cried, "Why did you beat me, I returned my parents, mother and brother to you, why did you still refuse to let me go......"
Xia Nianxi suddenly spit out a mouthful of water, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
Rong Xiu hugged her tightly, his voice trembling, "You scared me to death." It's okay, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. ”
Xia Nianxi leaned on Rong Xiu's arms, listening to his heartbeat, as if she had returned to the last time he found her, when she knew that she was completely in love with this man.
Reaching out and grabbing the corner of his clothes tightly, Xia Nianxi cried in fright.
More and more people gathered, and Mrs. Situ ran over, "Ah, what's going on?" ”
"Mom! My stomach hurts......" Situ Yin called Mrs. Situ pitifully.
Xia Nianxi froze suddenly, she pushed Rong Xiu away and staggered to her feet.
Rong Xiu wanted to help her, "Nianxi! ”
Xia Nianxi shouted hoarsely at Rong Xiu: "Get out, get out of my house!" Get out of my house with Situ Yin. ”
Rong Xiu looked puzzled, "Xia Nianxi, what are you crazy about?!" ”
Situ Yin had Rong Xiu's child, and when he thought of this news, Xia Nianxi's heart seemed to be pinched, he couldn't breathe, and suddenly fell backwards.
"Nianxi!"
"Nianxi!"
.......
