Chapter 177: The Knot in My Heart Is Unsolvable
"Mom!" The corners of her mouth were still stained with the crumbs of purple rice bread, and there was still the emulsion of oat milk under her lips, but she burped very unvividly because she had eaten too much, and Mrs. Xiao was so frightened by her "delicate and smart" before she walked down the stairs that the corners of her mouth twitched.
Xiao Shuyi still grinned at her as if she didn't realize it, such a vivid expression, coupled with the big gourd ring on her face, it was simply that Mrs. Lei Xiaoxiao almost stepped on the empty steps.
Before she could speak, she heard her daughter say again: "Mom, did Chengyi send me back last night?" β
Hearing this, she didn't care about what happened just now, and remembered that the more she looked at it, the more satisfied her son-in-law became, and she was in a good mood, so she walked up to her and sat down, nodding a little arrogantly, and her face was very good for someone.
"You're embarrassed to say it!" Mrs. Xiao stretched out her hand and nodded her forehead fiercely, remembering the performance of the Yue family boy when he sent his daughter back last night, and compared the fact that her daughter never took the initiative to care about her prospective son-in-law, the more itchy her heart became for her daughter, and she glanced at her angrily, and then said to her seriously: "Don't look at him being good to you now, if you don't know how to cherish and care more about him, sooner or later, someone more worthy of his liking will replace you!" β
This daughter of her own has been used to it since she was a child, and sometimes she is very innocent and simple, thinking that the two are childhood sweethearts, and the status is really unshakable, and no one can replace it, and I don't want to think about the good girls in this era that are simply everywhere, she doesn't know now that there will always be times when she cries in the future!
"Mom! Cheng Yi he won't! Xiao Shuyi retorted like a fuss, but her tone was obviously not very firm, after all, she didn't have a score in her heart, if she wanted to say that she was very confident before, but now that she has a rival in love, and she is rumored to be in a good way, she just wants to deceive herself and pretend to be ignorant anymore.
It's just that she still believes more that his feelings for her will not be impurities, and although her heart has begun to waver, she is also more willing to believe in him.
Where would Mrs. Xiao not know her? glanced at her at the moment, and simply didn't care if she thought about herself, one day Xiao Xiao would naturally know whether what she was telling her today was right or not.
"Okay, okay, if you say no, you won't, I don't care about you." She glanced at the two slices of purple rice bread left on the table, thought about it, and took it and put it on the plate in front of her, picked up the yogurt and poured a cup and drank it gently, eating early.
Xiao Shuyi saw that her mother seemed to be a little helpless when she looked at her, and she sighed a little, but she was worried about what her mother had just told her.
"Well, Mom, then I'll go firstβ" She squeezed her eyebrows at her mother a little embarrassed, and pointed outside, but Mrs. Xiao knew what she was going to say and pretended not to know.
Xiao Shuyi was even more embarrassed when she was in a hurry, although she said that she had nothing to be ashamed of with her mother, but she was just embarrassed to say that she was always a little squirming.
Mrs. Xiao teased her for a while, and when she saw that she still didn't say anything, she didn't think it was interesting to continue teasing her, so she raised her head slightly and waved her hand impatiently, and chased her away: "Okay, okay, call your Uncle Gu, let him pick you up, and you can go wherever you fall in love!" β
Didn't you just remember what she just said? Mrs. Xiao raised her eyebrows, although she showed a very disgusted look on her face, she was still quite happy to see it in her heart.
After all, this daughter of her own family is willing to take a heart for the Yue family boy, which can be regarded as a big improvement.
Xiao Shuyi pursed her lips when she heard this, got up and carried her satchel before leaving, and stuck out her tongue at her mother like a ghost, snorted arrogantly, and then couldn't wait to go out to find Uncle Gu to send her.
Looking at the back of her daughter who was in a hurry to go out, Mrs. Xiao pondered slightly, and her eyes fell on the door.
I hope that Xiao Xiao can really have a smooth ride for the rest of his life, after all, that Yue Chengyi is also seen by the two families since childhood, and he can't be wrong, and it will be a good destination.
Uncle Gu just got up from the bed and received a call from Xiao Shuyi, he is a private driver hired by the Xiao family for many years, and the daily responsibility is to pick up and drop off the mother and daughter of the Xiao family, nothing else, the salary is also high, and it is still a very good job overall.
And he had a friendship with Xiao's father when he was young, and he was very close to their family, and they were very friendly in private, but it was a pity that he didn't have a child of his own for so many years.
So for Xiao Shuyi, he treats her as his daughter.
Uncle Gu asked where she was going, and after hearing the answer, he understood, and chuckled kindly at her twice through the rearview mirror, and teased her while driving: "Yo, Xiao Xiao has grown up, I know!" β
In a blink of an eye, the little girls at the beginning were in love, and after a while, maybe they would have to start a family.
"Uncle Gu, don't laugh at me! Looking back, I won't tell Aunt Gu! Xiao Shuyi also pursed her lips and smiled, her face was flushed, obviously she was said to be shy like this.
As she spoke, she made a gesture to call Aunt Gu to tell her that Uncle Gu was not afraid of anything else, he was afraid of Aunt Gu, he really loved his wife, and it was not the so-called fear of guilt.
Sure enough, after seeing her movements, Uncle Gu confessed, and his face showed a little anxious, even if he knew that this girl was just scaring and scaring him and joking with him, but he still didn't want to be known by his wife.
If you want to say that he treats Xiao Xiao as his daughter, Aunt Gu is even more so, but whenever there is something new or interesting in the family, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely Xiao Xiao, a girl, who is more loved than a real mother.
"Don't, you girl! If I don't say it, if I don't say it, won't it? He shook his head again and again and assured her that because he was driving, it was inconvenient to wave his hand, otherwise he might have to wave his hand to her.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw her laughing slyly, full of the appearance of a little girl who was not deeply involved in the world, Uncle Gu couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, simplicity is good, but this society does not need too simple people.
I thought that I had to let my wife talk to Xiao Xiao's mother about it when I went back, even if I started to catch her out to experience it from now on, it would be too late, and it would always be better than learning again in the future.
Xiao Shuyi pursed her lips, her eyes were full of smiles, she knew that Aunt Gu was Uncle Gu's weakness, but to be honest, she was quite envious of Aunt Gu, at least Uncle Gu had never changed his mind about Aunt Gu.
She felt a little sad when she thought about it, and she didn't know if she could have the good luck of Aunt Gu and meet such a single-minded person.
Uncle Gu also smiled with him, and when he saw the loneliness and faint sadness suddenly revealed in her eyes, he stopped smiling again, although he didn't know why this girl was sad again, but he still felt more sorry for this girl, so he didn't make any more jokes about her.
The winter season is always a little cold, and the flowers and plants on both sides of the road that were originally planted to add points to the beauty of the city have also withered at this time, and they are replaced by unknown trees wrapped in "winter clothes", although they are not as pleasing to the eye as flowers and plants, but they also add a touch of vitality to the city shrouded in cold.
The number of pedestrians on the streets also decreases as the weather cools, but in the morning when the sun rises, it is almost noon, the sun is getting hotter, and small vendors pushing food carts appear in the alleys one after another.
Xiao Yao locked himself in the office since he came back yesterday, and even Wen Yichen didn't pay attention to Wen Yichen coming over to knock on the door to deliver documents and deliver food, but just asked him to sort out the documents and send them in electronic mode, but as for the food, he didn't mention it, as if he didn't feel hungry.
His desk was covered with white paper one after another, and the content on it was all the three words Xiao Shuyi, the font was very positive, and every stroke showed his solid skills, but it was because of this that it made people feel more uncomfortable for him.
"Knock knock-" There was a knock on the door again, Wen Yichen didn't know what happened yesterday to make Ah Yao like this, he wanted to ask but knew that Ah Yao's temper couldn't ask anything, so he didn't go home that night, and he stayed in the company for a night.
Wen Yichen knocked on the door a few times helplessly, but after a while, he still didn't see Ah Yao open the door, he couldn't help but have a headache, and said helplessly: "Ah Yao, you opened the door and then talk about it!" What's the point of locking yourself in like this? You think you're a woman, huh? Still throwing tantrums here! β
He's also drunk, what's there that can't be solved? Do you need to lock yourself up like a girl and refuse to see anyone?
He sneered and laughed, don't say that girls are like this, girls in this century will not be like that now, everyone is strong!
Except for the occasional sound of brushing when writing, there was still no movement in the door, even the sound of footsteps, which made him even more anxious.
Wen Yichen stroked his forehead, looked up at the ceiling, and wanted to hit his head with tofu in his heart, it had been all night, what vice president of a group would be so willful and unwilling to take care of his body?
What's all this called? It's a rush to death!
It's a pity that the people in his heart can't hear it, and even if they do, they don't want to pay attention to it at the moment.
I don't know how long it has been, but when Wen Yichen just wanted to go back and invite Old Man Xiao over, the door didn't open, but a voice finally came out from inside.
"Just put the food by the door, Yichen, you can rest first." Xiao Yao raised his hand and finished writing the same word again, crumpled the written paper and threw it into the garbage basket before replying to him.
