Chapter Ninety-Seven: Private Words
"Chu'er, you are so good, not like my father." He lowered his head as he spoke.
Tang Chu saw that Xie Yaoyao's mood was not quite right, so he hurriedly sent Zou Shiyan and the others away, and even Shuangxi was separated by her.
Tang Chu asked worriedly, "Still can't you let go?" ”
When Xie Yaoyao raised her head again, her face was full of tears, and her eyes were red.
"It's not that I can't let it go, but I can't be angry." Xie Yaoyao's voice was unwilling, mixed with a trace of remorse.
Tang Chu almost knew everything about Xie Yaoyao, whether it was in the previous life or in this life, Xie Yaoyao shared all the secrets with her.
Sometimes Tang Chu will blame herself, she is no longer her former self, Xie Yaoyao can confide all her secrets to her, but she can't.
"It's not good for you to think about other people's opinions." Tang Chu said with some hatred.
Xie Yaoyao raised a pair of teary eyes and said in a choked voice, "What can I do, I really like him!" ”
Tang Chu couldn't help but think of the content of his previous correspondence with Xie Yaoyao.
At that time, she was still busy with the affairs of the rouge shop, but she received a letter from Xie Yaoyao one day.
She has been busy these days, and Xie Yaoyao often doesn't see anyone when she comes to her, so the two agree to exchange letters and get together again when they have time.
The main content of the letter is that Xie Yaoyao's feelings for Xu Mubai ended without a problem.
She has only met Xu Mubai a few times, but she also knows that the other party is Zhao Zhenzhu's cousin, as for why the surname is Xu instead of Zhao, this has to start with Xu Mubai's maternal family, Jinyuan Xu.
After the Zhao family and the Xu family got married, the Xu family proposed for the first time that the second child born to Xu Mubai's mother should be renamed Xu, and the Zhao family agreed.
This caused a lot of criticism at the time, but the matter was settled, and Zhao Mubai became Xu Mubai.
"Xu Gongzi hasn't replied to your letter since then?" Tang Chu asked.
Xie Yaoyao sobbed, "I haven't received any news in the past few days that I have been locked up at home, and even if there is a letter, I may have been stopped by his mother." ”
Looking at Xie Yaoyao's aggrieved appearance, Tang Chu couldn't help but sigh.
Xie Yaoyao's infatuation with Xu Mubai is just like she was with Zou Shiyan at the beginning, she can't ask for it.
Things have to start from the last time Zhao Zhenzhu and Xu Gongzi went to the capital.
Before Xu Gongzi left, Xie Yaoyao learned from Zhao Jizhu that the other party would not come back, so she bought off a subordinate of the Zhao family, hid his confession letter, and waited for the opportunity to hand it over to Xu Mubai.
Xie Yaoyao is lively and cheerful on the surface, without any scheming, but she is sensitive and pure on the inside.
After the subordinate arrived in the capital, he finally found an opportunity to get close to Xu Mubai at the banquet and handed the letter to the other party.
When Xu Mubai returned to the room and was changed by the maid, the letter accidentally fell out of her arms, and the maid saw a few words written on the cover, and at a glance she knew that it was the handwriting of the boudoir woman.
She didn't dare to be careless, so she privately presented the letter to Mrs. Xu.
Xie Yaoyao, who was waiting quietly, was full of shyness and worry, and she couldn't give up all day, and she didn't know the whereabouts of the letter at this time.
Until one day, someone in the capital sent a letter directly to Xiefu.
Xie Yaoyao opened it with anticipation, but she cried in the next second, full of grief and indignation.
"Chu'er, do you think I'm really not worthy of him?" Xie Yaoyao was still immersed in her sad world, and whispered to Tang Chu.
Tang Chu patted her on the back and comforted her gently, "Whether or not you are a good match is not determined by others, it only depends on you and Xu Gongzi." ”
Xie Yaoyao blinked and said confusedly, "I don't know what he thinks?" ”
After a while, she continued, "Zhao Zhenzhu was held accountable by Mrs. Xu for this incident, but she still kindly told Gongzi Xu for me, but unfortunately he only said that he was sorry for me, and did not give a clear answer whether he had me in his heart." ”
What Xu Mubai thought, Tang Chu didn't know, but Mrs. Xu's attitude was very resolute, she indicated the gap between the two family backgrounds and status in the letter, and told Xie Yaoyao that her son would only marry a noble girl, not a daughter like Xie Yaoyao.
Xie Yaoyao was so angry after reading the letter that she had no way to vent, so she began a hunger strike, looking tired of the world.
After her parents found out, they felt that their daughter's unrequited lover was a little embarrassed, and they also felt sorry for Xie Yaoyao's behavior like this.
Mrs. Xu's words were sharp, and she didn't show any mercy, and whoever read the letter of trust would be angry.
But their family strength is weak, and they can't compare to each other's arrogance, so they can only break their teeth and swallow the bitter water in their stomachs.
Later, Xie Yaoyao's mother saw that she couldn't persuade Xie Yaoyao, and the other party still looked like she was looking for death and life, so she also began to accompany Xie Yaoyao on a hunger strike.
After a few days, Xie Yaoyao's mother was even weaker than her, and her body naturally couldn't stand it when she was old.
Xie Yaoyao saw that her mother had been affected by herself, and she suddenly regretted it, and finally began to return to normal.
When we met for the first time today, Xie Yaoyao was still innocent and smiling, but now she really let go of her disguise and happily confided her heart to Tang Chu.
"I knew, how could it be so quick to get back to normal? You can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me. Tang Chu muttered, gently hugged Xie Yaoyao's shoulder, and rubbed her cheek affectionately.
This action made Xie Yaoyao's tears flow out uncontrollably, "Chu'er, I can't forget him now, but the thought that I am nothing in the other party's heart hurts a lot." ”
Xie Yaoyao covered her chest, and only a deeper breath could withstand the pain,
A gust of wind blew and blew Tang Chu's hair away, and she said softly, "The old ones don't go, the new ones don't come, there are no absolutes in everything, how do you know that you won't meet better people in the future." ”
Tang Chu regrets it now, because she was busy with the family's industry, Xie Yaoyao sent maids to her several times but did not see the busy Tang Chu, Xie Yaoyao had to write a letter to the Tang Mansion.
And when Tang Chu knew about it, it was too late, Xie Yaoyao had already buried the pain in her heart, and anyone who saw her was no different from the original, but Tang Chu knew that this matter had not passed.
Although Xie Yaoyao is not the proud son of the sky, nor is she the daughter of a nobleman, her father Xie is quite good at taking care of the family business, relying on his authority in the government to do business with his brother-in-law, but he is more than enough, and the food and clothing are above average in this Suizhou City.
Xie Yaoyao blinked, and suddenly said with a heartfelt blessing, "If there is really such a person, he must be stronger than Xu Gongzi and angry with that old woman!" ”
