Chapter 172: You've Disappointed Me Too Much
"Mom, will you?" Chu Xiao's eyes overflowed with pleading, and there was a burst of desolation in an instant.
"Xiao, you, you," Cao Ting was stunned, wanting to ask something, but the words came to her mouth and swallowed back. His eyes overflowed with loss, "If what you said is true, then you have disappointed me too much." Mom doesn't expect you to be as good as your uncle, I just want you to be happy, you know? ”
Cao Ting's heartfelt words were a little trembling, she was not an authoritarian mother, although she was born in a wealthy family, but she was used to those cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, as a passerby, how could she be willing to see her son step into Cao Ge's back road?
Cao Ge has no choice, the only seedling of the Cao family, the only heir. But only he knows how heavy the burden he is carrying, how many ups and downs he has experienced to get to where he is today, and he can't even protect the woman he loves.
"Mom, I fell in love with a girl three years ago, but one day, this girl inexplicably proposed to me to break up, and since then the world has evaporated, no matter how much manpower I spend, I can no longer find her trace." Chu Xiao smiled bitterly, with tears under his eyes, but the man didn't flick his tears and held back the tears in his eyes.
Cao Ting was stunned at first, hurriedly took two steps back, stared at Chu Xiao standing in front of her, and didn't dare to guess deeply, she was afraid, she was really scared......
"Mom, why are you lying to me? Why did you forcibly tear apart the happiness that originally belonged to me, why did you say one thing and say the other thing for the so-called good for me in your mouth? Should I trust you? Chu Xiao said coldly, his eyes overflowing with complaints.
"No, it's not what you think, you're my son, how can I care about your happiness? If that's your true happiness, Mom will protect it even if she fights for this Lao Ming. Cao Ting's pupils overflowed with indifference, tears fell from the corners of her eyes, holding the dining table next to her with one hand, and covering her chest with the other hand.
"Then you tell me if it's because of you that she will leave me." As long as he has anything to do with Li Jing'er, Chu Xiao will lose control, like a hedgehog, no matter whether the other party is close or not, he will assassinate the other party's heart without reservation.
"I'm sorry, Mom's only sorry for you. But you believe me, she's not right for you, you deserve better. Cao Ting couldn't tell Chu Xiao all this honestly, she couldn't explain too much, this was a secret she kept to the Cao family and the Chu family, and she would never let go. I swore secretly in my heart and kept my mouth shut. The secret of being brought into the coffin even when you are dead.
"Mom, you," just as Chu Xiao wanted to continue asking, a familiar voice came from outside the door, interrupting Chu Xiao's questioning and rescuing Cao Ting's sleepy scene at the same time.
"Sister, we're here." A spoiled woman speaks sweetly. Although Li Jing'er resisted in her heart, she had to step into the house.
"Jing'er, are you here?" Cao Ting secretly wiped the tears that fell from the corners of her eyes, bypassed Chu Xiao at a fast speed, walked to Li Jing'er's side, smiled as always, nodded gently, and said with satisfaction: "Brother, bring Jing'er more, under my conditioning, you see, the blood is much ruddy." ”
Li Jing'er bowed her head and was silent, she was shy in front of Cao Ting for the first time, she wanted to tell her that the credit for this ruddy was not your bird's nest......
Except for the occasional smile on Li Jing'er, almost everyone else, including her sister Cao Ting, treats each other with a cold face.
Chu Tianxing is a coward, useless second ancestor, and the Chu family, which has a good future, can be said to be thriving under his management. Note that it is "down" rather than "up", and the performance has declined, so it can be said that without Xinghui Company as his backing, there is no difference like a salted fish.
Cao Ting can be said to have no status in the Chu family, except for relying on her identity as the sister of Cao Ge, the eldest lady of the Cao family, she almost doesn't even have the right to speak, and the only thing she is fortunate to have is to give birth to Chu Xiao, a capable and outstanding son.
No matter what the reason is, Cao Ting's sincerity towards Cao Ge does not need to be questioned. Cao Ting took Li Jing'er by the hand and walked into the dining room, and everyone also walked in together.
Every time Cao Ting invited Cao Ge and his wife to come over for dinner, they carefully prepared their favorite side dishes, and bird's nest was an indispensable after-dinner tonic for Li Jing'er.
Inside the dining room.
There are nine dishes and one soup on the table, who understands Cao Ting's mind. It is estimated that even her own son complains, and the feeling of heartbreak can only be felt by herself.
"It's been three years, Xiao, you've been away from your mother for three years. Today the family is finally reunited. Cao Ting sighed, and said as she picked up the food and handed it to Chu Xiao.
"Really? Wasn't it you who sent me away in the first place? Chu Xiao vented the resentment in his heart without reservation and asked.
Li Jing'er was stunned, and then quickly returned to the appearance of "it has nothing to do with me" and continued to taste the food on the dinner table.
"Enough, what are you crazy about, is there a son like you who bullies his mother?" Although Chu Tianxing is a bastard, the cute Cao Ting is sincere, seeing his son bullying his daughter-in-law, he suddenly defended his wife like a man's husband, looking like "my woman I guard", at the right time, Cao Ting also warmed up a lot, as if her soul was comforted, the two husbands and wives disliked each other one second ago, and all kinds of dissatisfaction in their hearts fell on each other, but the next second it turned around, sweet and sweet, the marriage wall is very firm, and there is no crack at all, even if there is an automatic repair function.
"Sister, brother-in-law, I bought some gifts for you at the overseas shopping store, remember to sign for them tomorrow." Li Jing'er said with a smile. She didn't know why Chu Xiao, who had always been obedient to her parents, suddenly contradicted her parents, the atmosphere was stiff, and she could only distance themselves from the thick flames of their "imminent" flames, and changed the topic to ease the atmosphere.
"Okay, thank you, don't be polite next time, we don't lack anything, only a little baby." Cao Ting raised her eyebrows and looked at Li Jing'er's belly, and smiled evilly, "Is there any movement?" ”
"Ah Ge, although I have no use for your brother-in-law, I have to rely on you for everything, and you are not rare in my Chu family's things, but I thank you for your support and care for me and your sister all the time, I Chu Tianxing is here to promise you that no matter when your little baby is born, I am willing to give him 5% of my shares in Xinghui Company, which can be enjoyed by both men and women. Until your baby reaches the age of majority, you will be the sole legal person designated and will have the right to use it. How is it? Chu Tianxing looked sideways at Cao Ting, who was sitting beside him, and after getting a nod of approval from his daughter-in-law, he casually picked up a glass of wine in front of him, raised a glass to invite Mingyue, hoping to receive a piece of his heart.
Li Jing'er wanted to say something, but was stopped by Cao Ge.
"Thank you, brother-in-law." Cao Ge also picked up a glass of wine in front of him and boldly drank this "wine with strong affection".
"Go back tonight and work harder, and I can't live up to my sister and brother-in-law's expectations." Cao Ge's words were thick hostile, like showing off and slightly loving.
"Let's talk about it later, you've been busy lately, too." Li Jing'er said casually, this topic made her blush like a monkey's ass, and she was extremely embarrassed.
"It's okay, Yu Yun can handle it. I really can't do it, I can only follow you wherever I go. Cao Ge looked at Li Jing'er sideways, holding his cheek with one hand, and deliberately put the wine glass on Li Jing'er's stomach after putting down the wine glass with the other hand. It's both warm and ambiguous.
"I'm not a, I'm a stylish and independent woman, I have my own job." Li Jing'er sneered and added, "Mr. Cao, I'm not a vase. I don't want to foil it. ”
"Then you raise me, and I'll be your little white face." Cao Ge was embarrassed and agreed.
Li Jing'er's words are sometimes incomprehensible to outsiders, and only Cao Ge understands what she means.
It is precisely because of Li Jing'er's difference that Cao Ge fell into the feelings he had for her unconsciously, and he was unwilling to let her go, never.
What the hell, did you ask me if I wanted to? What's more, it was clearly stated on the contract at that time that the flesh and blood of the Cao family could not be conceived, and it was really sad that there was no bitterness to say. Li Jing'er kept nagging in her heart.
These two small mouthfuls flirted and scolded, Cao Ting saw it with her own eyes for the first time, a touch of complex emotions crossed her eyes, and she glanced at Chu Xiao, feeling sorry for his unwillingness, helpless his feelings of love, all this is wrong, who is bad? Who is to blame......
"Where do I have the ability to support you, what kind of international joke is Mr. Cao." Li Jing'er faked a smile and deliberately added, "No money." ”
In front of Cao Ge, Li Jinger always likes to please as much as possible, without taking into account the feelings of the people around her.
Eating and joking, the two families were happy, and only Chu Xiao endured the sorrow alone.
Chu Xiao's words and deeds, Cao Ge closed his eyes, Cao Ting flattered as always, what was the purpose, how could Cao Ge not know
"Are you sure you don't have any private money?" Cao Ge stared at it and asked lightly.
In an instant, at that moment, Li Jing'er's heart was empty. She kept flipping through several possibilities in her mind, she was thinking, it is impossible to know about opening a company with her sisters, the registered trademark is not her own name, where is the loophole?
I couldn't figure it out after turning it over, so I could only bite the bullet and swallow my saliva, "Nonsense, how can I have it." Li Jing'er lowered her head, not daring to face it.
"I don't know who made a bet with the maid behind my back, huh? If you don't have any money, you'll pay it on credit, huh? Who is so bold, you say? Cao Ge was not angry, but he had no way to take her, he secretly sold himself, and pretended to be nothing, crying and laughing.
“……”
It's embarrassing now, who said to leak your mouth?
"It's not much, it's only a few thousand yuan, and they are voluntary." Li Jing'er tried to push the responsibility onto the servant, but she never mentioned it, and did not admit the fact that she sold him.
"Zhang's mother lost 18,000 alone, and you actually said that you only received a few thousand? You're not afraid that Mama Zhang will hold a grudge against you, huh? ”
