Chapter 2: Difficult Choices
Just as I was deep in thought, an extended Lincoln pulled up in front of me.
I stopped, and saw a man in his forties and fifties getting out of the car, tall, with a meticulous expression on his face, a pair of bright eyes revealing sharpness and rigor, and the muscles on his arms could be clearly seen! Let those who see it have to suspect that his profession has something to do with thugs.
I stood there when I saw the man, because this uncle was someone I knew, the secretary of my father's partner's house,
Because it is a partner, there are frequent family contacts, so I also know this secretary, because of my personality, I usually chat with him, so I gradually became familiar with him, and I usually call him Uncle De when I see him!
Although the man was forty or fifty years old, he was probably related to his usual profession, and his skills were still vigorous, and it didn't take long for him to come to me.
"Uncle De, why are you here? Did you come to me? ”
"Well, Miss Xia, our lady asked me to come to you, she has something to talk to Miss Xia, I hope Miss Xia can go with me!"
"Aunt Lin, is there something she is looking for me? Or is she having an old problem again, and her waist is injured again? I asked with concern.
Aunt Lin is the wife of my father's former partner, because my cooperating father has a lot of contacts with her family, and I have been to her house a few times, and she treats me like her own daughter.
Usually when we have nothing to do, we will go to the street together, buy clothes, beauty or something, once I knew that she had a problem with low back pain, I happened to do a little research on this to help her recuperate, although she was not completely well, but it was also a little less painful,
Since the end of the collaboration, I have rarely been to her house, and the contact has gradually decreased, so when she came to me, I naturally wondered if she was suffering from back pain.
"Miss Xia, I don't know about this, I still hope you can go with me, you will naturally know when you arrive!"
Hearing Uncle De's words, out of concern for my elders, I nodded and followed Uncle De to the car!
Sitting in the car, I looked at the scenery outside, thinking about my father's affairs, and I couldn't understand what Aunt Lin was looking for me to do, the more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became, so I didn't want to!
Because of my father's affairs, I didn't sleep well for a few days, and I fell asleep while sitting in the car, and the car stopped just as I was about to fall asleep.
When I opened my eyes, I found that we had come to a remote and quiet house, only to see a few big characters written on the plaque of the house.
"Okay, Miss Xia, you can get out of the car!"
Hearing Uncle De's words, I got out of the car according to the words, followed Uncle De to the teahouse, entered the teahouse only to see that the teahouse decoration is quite exquisite, the decoration in the teahouse is all made of wood, tea table, tea chairs, teapots and teacups will make you mistakenly think that you are walking into the ancient inn!
When I saw this, I liked it at first sight.
And when I followed Uncle De to the second floor, through the open window, I could see a large patch of green bamboo outside, which made the people who saw it feel more comfortable, and I couldn't help but praise the people who designed it in my heart!
When I admired the design of the teahouse, Uncle De stopped in front of a private room, knocked on the door, and heard a gentle voice from inside,
"Come in," I opened the door as the voice fell,
I saw a person sitting inside wearing a well-cut and well-made pure black suit, plus a small melon seed face, slightly raised peach blossom eyes and a high nose bridge, with a pair of small and delicate earrings to give people a young and flamboyant feeling.
And her hair was pulled up high and fixed with a simple hairpin made of unknown materials, making the whole person look indescribably noble and elegant.
I can't believe she's forty years old, and every time I see her, I unconsciously treat her like a "sister"!
"Xiaoxi, you're here, come and sit!"
Aunt Lin, who was sitting in front of the box door, saw me and said softly to me.
Hearing Aunt Lin's voice, I nodded, walked to the room and sat opposite her, she saw that I was seated and poured me a cup of tea and put it in front of me, I nodded to Aunt Lin and thanked her.
At first, she comforted me because of my father's affairs, and I was thinking about what she was looking for me, after all, I hadn't been in touch for a long time, and she suddenly came to me, and I really didn't know the bottom of my heart, and I didn't want to disturb her interest because of me, so I had to smile.
"Auntie, I'm fine, I don't know what you came to me for today, if there is something, just say it!"
Aunt Lin sighed slightly after hearing my words,
"Alas, I also know that something like this happened to you, and I shouldn't have come to you today, but I am also anxious when I see that I am about to graduate from college,
So I have to come to you today, I hope you don't blame Auntie for what I say next, Auntie can't help but come to you! ”
When I heard my aunt's words, I knew that what my aunt said next would definitely not be a good thing for me, but I still mentally prepared myself in my heart.
After all, my father had an accident, and I had no one to rely on, so I needed to walk alone for the next road, didn't I?
"Xiaoxi, actually, you fell in love with our Xiaoyi before, you don't know how happy I am, my Xiaoyi is usually very playful, and it doesn't matter if he's grown so big.
But since I have been dating you, he has changed, my child and his father are all in our hearts, we are very happy, thinking in our hearts that someone can finally control him, and I am happy that you can be my daughter-in-law in the future.
But as parents, you say we're selfish or not, I want to come for my son this time! ”
As she spoke, Aunt Lin took out a plane ticket from her handbag, "What about this plane ticket, I asked my family Lao Zhou to handle it according to your information.
I came to you today just to make you make a choice, you also know that although our Zhou family is not as good as the Xia family at the beginning, our Zhou family is also a big family.
Originally, I had negotiated with your father to let you get married as soon as you graduated from college, but this happened to your father, and now I think you know better than me what people outside think of your father."
Listening to what my aunt said, I think Aunt Lin's impression of my father has probably changed, I can't bear to let my father be misunderstood by others, and I interrupted,
"Auntie, although I don't know exactly what happened to my father, I have always believed in my father, so I don't want others to misunderstand him,"
Before I could finish speaking, Aunt Lin looked at the watch in her hand and interrupted my conversation,
"Xiaoxi, it doesn't matter what I think of your father, but what people outside say, and my future company will be handed over to my son to take care of, I don't want others to talk about my son behind my back in the future,
Alas, isn't he the one who married his daughter in prison, or is he the one who married his daughter who was in prison, should he follow the old path of being a prisoner in the future! I don't want people to gossip about my son behind my back, do you know the heart of a mother? ”
"And then? Aunt Lin wants me to take the initiative to leave Zhou Yi, right? I asked rhetorically.
Aunt Lin smiled when she heard what I said,
"This is not, I said before that I really like you, so I give you a choice, you can go to the United States with Xiao Yi, in the second half of the year, I have asked my family Lao Zhou to find a good school for you, you go abroad as exchange students in the second half of the year,
After graduation, I will give you five years, if you can achieve something in the United States, and then come back, you should also know the importance of a public opinion to a company, maybe a public opinion can make the company's performance decline, or even fall into the storm, and if you can become the top person in the gold tower in the future, some people will not dare to offend you easily, so I hope you can think about it carefully! ”
After listening to Aunt Lin's words, I have nothing to say, because I understand the hearts of parents for the sake of their children, and I also think that what Aunt Lin said is not wrong, when you have power, status, and money, others will be afraid of you when they want to deal with you and the people around you!
Immediately afterwards, I heard Aunt Lin say again: "Your father is about to come out at that time, what do you think of our family when your father comes out to hold a wedding for you together?" ”
Listening to what Aunt Lin said, I was really moved, thinking that I would come back after I finished studying abroad and other achievements, and I would be able to protect my father at that time.
But when I thought that if I went abroad, my father would be in prison and I wouldn't see him for a long time, and I didn't know what happened to him, and I didn't give up.
"Auntie, if I don't go abroad, will you let me break up with Zhou Yi!" I asked!
Aunt Lin nodded after hearing what I said,
"Then since you're shading, let me think about it!"
"Okay, I'll only give you two weeks, and I hope Miss Xia can give me an accurate answer when the time comes!"
After listening to what my aunt said, I also figured out the real purpose of my aunt's coming to me today, and I don't know what to do for the time being, I just want to leave!
"Well, okay, then if it's okay, I'll go first."
After Aunt Lin nodded, I got up and left my seat and walked out of the box!
The tea on the table was untouched from start to finish!
When I left the box door, my mood was completely different from when I came, and it became heavy!
Yes, Zhou Yi is my boyfriend in college and Aunt Lin's son.
I still remember the first time I met him, and from there I saw another him that I couldn't see in the eyes of others.
Although Zhou Yi is uninhibited, he is a very kind heart under his uninhibited appearance!
The first time we met, it was when I was on duty, when he was feeding a stray cat, I thought it was a coincidence, after all, it was different from the people who circulated outside,
However, when I cleaned there for the second and third times, I could see him feeding the kittens, and then I believed that he was a kind person!
And in the process of getting along slowly, we got to know each other and interacted.
Finally, at a business party held by my father, I also knew that he was the son of my father's partner, and my father also learned through my confession that my relationship with Zhou Yi has been closer to the Zhou family since then, but I didn't expect this to happen to my father.
Thinking about the past, a sentence suddenly popped up in my heart,
Life is like tea, meditate on it. Right and wrong are innocent, and the reason is the previous life. Recognize clearly, let go is smart. I can't see through, and there is no trace of a dream. No rain flowers still fall, no wind floc flying. We should contemplate the Dharma realm, and everything is created by the mind.
I smiled, I don't know if I should let it go, but it's rare to be confused a few times in a person's life, isn't it?
