Chapter 20: I Don't Like You Anymore
"Sister-in-law, I'm really sorry!"
As soon as Master Chen came in, he bent down deeply towards Xue Mu.
"I went out to run a business a few days ago, and I only came back yesterday, who knew that Brother Xue was actually ...... This time, I came specifically to make amends for you, and the ignorant person in my family actually withdrew from this marriage without permission while I was not at home, which is really done...... Alas, I don't have a face when I talk about it! β
He stomped his foot hard, looking distressed.
At this time, someone had already brought in boxes of gifts, and they were about to go into the house and put them down.
Mother Xue stretched out her hand to stop: "There is no need to make amends, Master Chen should take these gifts back." β
Those subordinates looked at Master Chen in embarrassment, and Master Chen glanced at Chen Qing, seeing that he was staring at Xue and staring at him, and bumped into him angrily, Chen Qing came back to his senses and walked to Xue Mu: "Auntie, you can accept these gifts, otherwise I won't kneel here and get up." β
He knelt down directly in front of Xue Mu.
Xue Wu raised her eyebrows, this Chen Qing actually has a bitter plan, I am afraid that it has been calculated before coming.
Seeing Xue's mother's embarrassed look, she walked over and grabbed her, and instructed Xue Yao: "Yao'er, serve tea, guests come to the door, how can you not even entertain a cup of tea, otherwise it will be spread out and our Xue family will be too rude." β
At the same time, he said to Xue Jun: "Jun'er, you go in first, you are not in good health, you can't blow more wind outside." β
Xue Jun looked at the sunshine in the courtyard, where is the wind? But since my sister said so, she should go in.
Before entering, he saluted Master Chen.
Xue Wu invited Master Chen into the house to sit again, "The sun is shining in this courtyard, if you have anything to say, let's go into the house and say." β
Looking at Xue Wu's series of actions, Master Chen and Chen Qing glanced at each other, and both of them were a little surprised.
In the past, when Xue Lang was still there, they came to the door, and Xue Wan always stayed quietly next to Xue's mother and didn't talk much, but now that Xue Lang is gone, she seems to have become the new head of the Xue family, the backbone, and she is quite generous and decent in dealing with people.
It seems that frustration is urging people to grow.
And the meaning of her words was clearly that she had a grudge against the Chen family, and she completely regarded them as outsiders.
For a while, both father and son were in a heavy mood.
But now that we've come here, there are some things that still need to be made clear.
Master Chen: "Sister-in-law, I have already scolded my insider, you see, this marriage is ...... You won't return it, right? I also brought the letter of appointment. β
He hurriedly took out the letter of appointment in his arms.
Mother Xue didn't answer, "Master Chen, once the marriage has been withdrawn, there is no reason to take it back, besides, it was Mrs. Chen who came to withdraw from the marriage that day, and it was really unpleasant with her sister-in-law, if your daughter-in-law continues to marry into your Chen family, I am afraid that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will be restless in the future."
"As a mother, I don't ask my daughter-in-law to marry into any rich family in the future, as long as my in-laws are lenient and my husband is considerate, it is enough.
"You better take this letter back. Chen Gongzi looks like a talent, and he is only eight buckets tall, and he will definitely be able to marry a good wife in the future and have a happy marriage. β
She said this softly, but the meaning in her words was not soft at all, and the refusal could not be more obvious, and the Chen family father and son were speechless for a while.
Chen Qing looked at Xue Wu, hoping that she could say something, but saw a strange man standing next to her, both in height and face, he was completely beaten.
Just now he was just looking at his sister-in-law, but he didn't see this man, who was he? How could it be in the Xue family? It's still so close to your daughter-in-law?!
"Who are you?" He asked Pei Lian.
Before the arrival of the Chen family's father and son, Xue Wu had instructed Pei Lian to try not to speak in front of outsiders, just maintain a cold attitude.
Cold? Pei Lin is not too good at it, as long as he puts out his prince's score.
He was obviously very successful, and he filled Chen Qing's hostility at once.
In the face of Chen Qing's questioning, he didn't move his eyebrows, and he looked disdainful, and this contemptuous attitude made Chen Qing angry.
Xue Wu: "He is my father's apprentice, and he heard that my father had an accident and came to my house to help." β
After listening to this explanation, Chen Qing still couldn't let go, looking at his fiancΓ©e who originally belonged to him standing with a wild man, the picture was too dazzling!
Xue Mu picked up the teacup and made a gesture of sending off guests.
Master Chen sighed, and wanted to save it again: "Sister-in-law, I heard that the eldest brother hasn't been found yet, so I'll hire someone to go to the mountains to find it again." β
In this regard, Xue Mu couldn't refuse, "Then thank you very much." β
Master Chen pulled Chen Qing away, Chen Qing took two steps and came to Xue Ao, and pleaded with Xue Mu: "Auntie, can I say a few words to my sister-in-law alone?" β
Xue Mu looked at Xue Wu and asked her what she meant. In fact, she is still very satisfied with Chen Qing, if he didn't have such a mother, this marriage is rare.
Xue Wan nodded, "Come with me." "It should be regarded as an end for the original owner and Chen Qing.
She went out into a grove at the back of the house, "Tell me." β
When he really faced her, Chen Qing didn't know how to speak for a while.
Looking at the person in front of him, he felt familiar and unfamiliar, familiar with the person or that person, although it was better looking than before, what was unfamiliar was the way she looked at him.
There was no longer the same affection and intimacy as before, but it was so bland that it chilled in his heart, as if they were complete strangers.
"Don't you have something to say to me? If you don't say anything, I'll go back. β
"Son-in-law, I think you've changed."
Xue Wu's heart jumped, the soul in her body had changed, how could it not change?
She tugged at the corners of her lips and looked directly at him: "If it was you, in just a few days, my father disappeared, my mother was almost snatched away by bullies, and I was divorced, can I not change?" β
Chen Qing's breath was suffocated, his eyes were full of distress, and he wanted to reach out to hold her shoulder, but she took a step back to avoid it.
"It's all my fault, if I didn't go to the county seat to attend the cultural meeting, my mother wouldn't have come to withdraw from the marriage without permission. Shall we re-engage? β
Xue Wan shook her head, "Chen Qing, to tell you the truth, even if your mother doesn't come to withdraw from the marriage, I won't marry into your family, my father is missing, as the eldest daughter in the family, my younger siblings are still young, how can I leave them to marry?" β
Hearing this, Chen Qing had a little hope in his heart, "What does it matter!" As long as you marry me, I will be the son-in-law of the Xue family, and I can take care of my mother-in-law and them with you. β
Xue Wu didn't want to say anything too ugly, but who knew that he actually had such a ridiculous thought, so he simply said: "Chen Qing, the reason why I don't want to marry you is that in addition to not worrying about my family, there is another one, that is, I don't like you anymore." β
Chen Qingru was struck by lightning, and the words kept echoing in his ears, "I don't like you anymore...... I don't like you anymore...... I don't like you anymore......"
He staggered back and looked at her in despair, how could he say that he didn't like it?
