Chapter 166: The Decline of the Aristocrats
He Yina walked faster and faster, even trotting.
The man who kept calling her behind her was one of the most important people in her life, but so much had happened that she couldn't treat him like she had done before. She wanted to run out of his sight as quickly as possible, because she didn't know what to do.
However, He Chong was very persistent, and when he saw that he couldn't catch up with her, he dialed the phone directly.
She hesitated for a moment, then picked it up.
"Hey."
"Sister, why are you running so fast, I'm behind you!"
He Chong panted and caught up.
"I shouted at you, didn't you hear?" He leaned forward, his hands on his knees, his back on the ground.
"Oh, I didn't hear that." She said perfunctorily and looked at the physical examination building in the distance, "What are you doing here?" ”
He Chong said triumphantly: "Premarital physical examination." ”
She nodded knowingly, squeezing out a smile.
"Congratulations, it's been achieved so quickly."
"What are you doing here, a medical check-up?"
"Oh no, the company has recently represented a batch of instruments, and the director here is very interested and wants to talk to me. The weather is so good today, and I happened to want to go out for a walk, so I came over in person. She fiddled with her ears, her delicate silhouette as usual, but the optimistic and cheerful thing of the past was gone, replaced by the exhaustion and strength of the heavy work.
"How did you get medical devices?" Hearing that his sister began to get involved in fields that he couldn't even look down on before, and also ran errands to complete the things that were done by his assistant in the past, He Chong was a little unbearable and a little guilty.
"I'm a businessman, as long as I can make money, it's business."
"Isn't it easy for the company to do it?"
"How so!" She seemed to see He Chong's thoughts, and blurted out, "It's too underestimating me." ”
"How did I hear you weren't doing well?" He Chong's concern is very direct.
"Just because I started a small business, you think M&N is struggling?"
"No, I didn't mean that."
"I like challenges and am interested in new industries and fields, so I always start with a learning mentality. Don't think about it. ”
After saying this, He Yina suddenly felt like a declining nobleman. This kind of behavior would never happen to her before, but at some point, she began to care about the so-called face. It is true that her areas of expertise are real estate, trade, and finance, but these are all difficult under the manipulation of her father behind the scenes, so she can only be forced to turn her business to areas where she has never been involved. It's a challenge, but it's more of a compromise.
"It's good if it goes well, I believe in your strength. But my sister ......"
"It's not too early, let's get back and talk, let's go first."
She knew what He Chong wanted to say, so she quickly stopped the topic.
"Wait......" He Chong grabbed her who wanted to turn around, "You really don't plan to go home, Dad hasn't been in good health lately." ”
A gust of wind blew, and she felt a grain of sand blow into her eyes. But she insisted on not closing her eyes, and the foreign body sensation turned into moist tears after a strong irritation, swirling in her eye sockets.
"You greet my dad for me, and say that I've been too busy lately, and I'll go back to see him when I have time."
"You're still mad at him?"
He Yina did not answer, but looked at He Chong with a strange look, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Yes, I'll be angry if I change it, Dad has gone too far this time. But sister, I'm getting married, and I hope you can come back and help me plan my wedding. ”
"You are in charge now, you can handle a small wedding by yourself, you don't need me."
"No, you didn't understand what I meant. I have imagined more than once that if you get married one day, I will accompany you every step of the way, try on rehearsals, toast and salute, and a process will not be left behind. Because we are sisters and brothers, the closest and dearest people, I don't want you to sit down and watch the ceremony and applaud like an ordinary guest, I need you to share in my happiness. Sister, do you understand what I'm talking about? ”
"Understood, I'll be back early." She gave a vague answer, but it was the most sincere attitude.
Then she pushed He Chong away, said goodbye, and turned to leave.
"Sister, in fact, I don't want to stay in Ogu at all!" He Chong shouted behind her.
Maybe she heard the thing she couldn't ask for, or maybe it was her brother's undisguised heart, she felt that her feet were nailed to the ground by something, and she couldn't move.
After thinking for a moment, she turned her head slightly.
"Chong'er, you may think I'm cautious and insatiable, but what I want to tell you is that character is not an excuse for being violated and dominated, even if I am open-minded and open-minded with no quarrel with the world, I am also a human being and have my own emotions. I really can't figure it out about Ogu, but I hope you understand my situation. What makes me uncomfortable is never unfair treatment, but deception. ”
"I know, Dad is not doing well, belittling you and elevating me. But this is just his anachronistic feudal mentality, and he doesn't mean to deceive you. ”
She shook her head indifferently, remembering once again the humiliation she had received at the groundbreaking ceremony.
"No, you don't know, I'll tell you why it's called a lie. When you were a child, you were arranged to walk eastward, and you were told that there were your dreams and pursuits, but when you were about to arrive, you were cut off and had to turn around in the direction of the west. Isn't that deception? If I hadn't planned the route from the beginning and let me figure it out on my own, it wouldn't have been so uncomfortable to think that things would backfire. ”
"Don't worry, I'll give you back, I'm not interested in it at all. Owning a company and losing a loved one, that's not what I want, you know. When I get married, I will immediately mention to my father, if he wants it, I will have a child immediately, and when I am happy to hold my grandson, he will agree to anything. ”
"I'd rather be a robber than a beggar, or I wouldn't be like his daughter." She laughed at herself, but at the same time she was moved by He Chong's sincerity. It's just that this touch can't help her, and Ao Gu won't return to her as easily as He Chong said. During this time, she knew almost more about her father than about herself, and He Zhanting was indifferent and resolute, colder than any iceberg in the world.
"Don't say that, I feel uncomfortable listening to it." He Chongdao also lowered his head in annoyance.
There was silence.
"By the way, Chiba's parents, they should come before they get married, right?" She suddenly asked him a question, but He Chong didn't know that there was a different purpose behind this seemingly concerned question.
"Her parents are gone...... he buried his head slightly, a little depressed.
"Oh, it's an orphan, so you have to be kind to someone."
"I know, I will."
He Yina looked at the time again.
"That's it, I really have to go, you take care of yourself."
"Goodbye sister...... He Chong said gloomily, standing in place and watching her go away.
Along the way, He Chong's words repeatedly stirred He Yina, this half-brother respected and loved her as before, she was a little ashamed, and even began to reflect on her words and deeds. But when I think of the injustices I have suffered, the idea that emotions dominate reason is dispelled.
She hurried back to M&N, where Xin Muzao was waiting for her. As soon as she entered the door, she didn't have time to say hello, so she took out a piece of paper from her bag and handed it to Xin Mu.
Xin Mu took a look, and his face became solemn as his gaze gradually declined. She got up and paced back and forth in the room, one hand on her elbow and the other on her cheek, her mind racing.
"It's really unknown from an unknown source."
"Could it be that we're too sensitive?" He Yina asked, took a sip of the cup, and found that this cup was given to her by He Chong once upon a time, and her mind briefly drifted back to the previous encounter with him.
Xin Mu picked up the piece of paper again and looked at it carefully, and read in his mouth: "Lancheng, I entered the welfare home at the age of five, and I have no relatives to visit ......" Then he raised his head and rolled his eyes. "She's an orphan?"
"Sort of, I heard that I didn't have a father since I was a child, and my mother was a vegetative person, and she just passed away some time ago." He Yina was a little nervous by her exaggerated sense of vigilance, and couldn't help but persuade, "Mom, Chiba didn't like to talk much when she was in Huanyu, maybe her personality caused her to look a little mysterious, I don't think you're thinking too much." ”
"Maybe...... But people who look honest are not necessarily credible, and dogs that don't bark bite people. I always feel that she is not a simple person, she has no talent and no appearance to make He Chong confused, if you don't find out the way in advance, you will get married in the future and blow the pillow wind every day, I am afraid it will pose a threat to you. ”
"I may have misheard it in the bathroom of the reception that night, the conversation between her and Lu Meiqin did not match the preamble, and I really didn't understand what she was saying. Or, do you want to ask Lu Meiqin about it? ”
"The surname Lu is also a *, I saw the incident of Lei Wan, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge to eat inside and out. Didn't you see her going to He Chong twice in three days now, and her tail is about to shake up to the sky. ”
"Since it's so unreliable, Mom still doesn't associate with this kind of person, and I've heard about her and Mr. Lei, that woman is really not very authentic."
"Well, I know what to expect, but she's still useful to me somewhere else."
"Somewhere else?"
Knowing that he had missed his mouth, Xin Mu hurriedly said perfunctorily: "It's nothing...... By the way, why have you been around for so long? ”
"I met Chong'er just now."
"Oh, what did the wild seed tell you?" She arched her eyebrows, a look of disgust.
He Yina had no choice but to tell her about the conversation with He Chong.
"Hmph, the dearest and dearest brother and sister, share his happiness, phew, shameless. Ogu has today's credit is all your credit, and he is embarrassed to talk to you about what to share with you for nothing. Look, that bastard won't be proud for a few days. ”
"Mom, don't say that, Chong'er is also innocent."
"Here you go again."
Xin Mu reprimanded lightly, turned around and took out the wine from the wine cabinet. Usually when she is engaged in complex mental activities, she needs to have a drink.
But Heyna read more and more from her mysterious state of danger that was dangerous, and although she was afraid, she did not want to get to the bottom of it, because she knew that in this situation, the only one who could help her was her mother. She had been a proud person, and she had never shown weakness to anyone, especially among women, because she was proud herself.
But now she is convinced that her mother is a hundred times stronger than her, and she is willing to wait in trepidation for unknown and tempting changes.
