Chapter 16 The First Arrival at the Night House
Xia Luoxi looked at the caller ID on her phone and hesitated for a moment, but finally picked up Aunt Lin's phone,
"Auntie, did you call for something?"
Although Xia Luoxi picked up the phone, since the derailment incident came out, she was a little unnatural when facing people and things related to Zhou Yi!
"Xiaoxi, I came to you this time to see you for something, can you come out to see your aunt in the afternoon?"
Xia Luoxi hesitated when she heard it, and she didn't know what her aunt was looking for her.
"What? I heard that you work at a sushi restaurant before, is it inconvenient for you? How about I go to you? β
Hearing what her aunt said, Xia Luoxi felt that her aunt must have something important to find herself, so she agreed!
At noon, Xia Luoxi hurried to the place agreed with Aunt Lin when she got off work.
Seeing Auntie, I don't know why Auntie is no longer the radiant appearance she used to be, but a little haggard, Aunt Lin came back to her senses after Xia Luoxi said a few words.
"Oh, Xiaoxi, are you here? You order what you want to eat! Aunt Lin didn't look at Xia Luoxi when she spoke to Xia Luoxi, but her eyes were a little evasive, but now Xia Luoxi didn't notice anything!
"Auntie, do you have something to do with me?" Xia Luoxi also sat next to Aunt Lin when she said this,
"You order food first, let's finish eating!" Looking at Aunt Lin's unrefusable tone, Xia Luoxi couldn't do it, so she could only order food.
It didn't take long for plates of delicacies to be placed on the table one after another, Xia Luoxi looked at the food she liked on the table, and she didn't have the appetite she used to have when she liked the food but felt that she couldn't swallow it!
After lunch, Aunt Lin kept looking at the outside world through the window, no matter how stupid Xia Luoxi was, she could detect Aunt Lin's abnormal emotions during a meal, so Xia Luoxi couldn't ask, so she could only wait for Aunt Lin to speak, and she kept looking at somewhere in front of her in a daze!
"Xiaoxi, I came to you today, I don't know if I should or not, but I still came this time, I just want to ask you for one thing, can you promise Auntie?" Aunt Lin looked at Xia Luoxi when she said this, so that Xia Luoxi could clearly see the tears in Aunt Lin's eyes!
Looking at the tears in Aunt Lin's eyes, and the brightness that was different from before, Xia Luoxi couldn't help but think of every moment she had with Aunt Lin before, and it also made Xia Luoxi feel a little soft-hearted.
"Auntie, if you have anything, just say it directly! If I can do it, I will definitely promise Auntie! β
"Xiaoxi, I didn't know before, why my Xiaoyi suddenly wanted to marry Xie Yutong, when I heard him say that he wanted to marry Xie Yutong, I thought I heard it wrong, but he wanted to marry Xie Yutong again and again, because this decision came suddenly, I and my old Zhou beat him up because of this, but he ......"
Before the aunt finished speaking, Xia Luoxi felt that she was very sarcastic, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, her boyfriend has been with her for two or three years, but her boyfriend is trying to marry her best friend...
Maybe Aunt Lin saw that Xia Luoxi's expression was wrong, and hurriedly spoke
"Xiaoxi, I don't say this to express how affectionate Xiao Yi is to Xie Yutong, I just say this because I think his decision came too suddenly, is there something hidden in it that we don't know?
I'm here because I think Xiao Yi still loves you, so can you wait for him for a while? Wait until my father and I find him, and then we'll have a good chat with him! β
"Found? Didn't they say they went to study abroad on the day of their engagement? β
Xia Luoxi was very surprised when she heard this, and her voice couldn't help but increase her voice a little louder!
"Yes, it's ridiculous to say, although the news released by the outside world is that my Xiaoyi and the Xie girl went to study on the day of the engagement, but in fact, they ran away from home on the day of the engagement, and we have been looking for them for so long since that day and still haven't found them, plus the engagement came suddenly, so I wonder if there is anything we don't know?
Although he is the heir of our Zhou family, you also know how difficult it is to be the heir in a big family, so although my family Xiaoyi looks at ease on the outside, he has given up a lot to be the heir, and as his mother, I can clearly perceive that your position in his heart is very important, so I want to ask you to wait for him for a while, okay? β
Xia Luoxi heard what Aunt Lin said, and didn't know what to do.
Does Zhou Yi really love himself?
Where did Zhou Yi and Xie Yutong go together?
What happened to Zhou Yi to make him decide that he would marry his best friend?
But thinking about her current situation, Xia Luoxi feels that no matter how many possibilities there are, there is no choice for her, she herself is married now, not to mention, even if she is not married, she will not be able to pick up feelings again through what has happened in the past few days, just like how can a poor person who can't even satisfy his stomach pray for food?
Xia Luoxi shook her head when she thought of this, "Auntie, I'm sorry, thank you for telling me this, but now I can't wait for him in my situation, I still like him now, but I inexplicably feel that I have no fate with him and have come to an end,"
"But!" Before Aunt Lin finished speaking, Xia Luoxi's mobile phone on the table rang!
Xia Luoxi picked up her mobile phone and looked at it, it turned out to be a call from Ye Jinran, and Xia Luoxi quickly picked it up.
Lowering her voice, she asked, "Is there something wrong?" β
Ye Jinran said: "What day is today, have you forgotten?"
I'm waiting for you right now in front of the restaurant you're staying at! β
Xia Luoxi suddenly realized.
On the sixth day of each month as agreed in the previous contract, she had to accompany Ye Jinran back to his parents' house, this is the rule of their family, because this is the first time to fulfill the agreement, so Xia Luoxi will take this day
I forgot!
"Ah, okay, I'll be out later!"
Ye Jinran got Xia Luoxi's affirmative answer over there, and hung up the phone directly.
Aunt Lin saw her finish the phone call and asked, "Who?" β
Xia Luoxi replied: "A friend, there is something to do with me!" β
After that, she said: "Auntie, although I don't know why Zhou Yi and Xie Yutong are engaged, I think that since they are engaged and the news is known all over the city, no matter what the reason, I think he should fulfill the responsibility of a fiancΓ©.
And I still have things to do, if there is nothing else, I'll go first. After saying that, Xia Luoxi picked up her bag and walked out!
Xia Luoxi walked out of the restaurant, because she knew that Ye Jinran didn't like to wait for people, after leaving the restaurant, she looked left and right, there was a black Bentley parked across the street, she trotted over, because it was convenient, so she directly pulled the car door and sat in the back seat.
The car door had just closed, and Xia Luoxi was hesitating whether to say hello to him, when Ye Jinran, who was sitting in front of him, said indifferently: "Do you use me as a driver?" β
Xia Luoxi's expression froze, and she replied slowly: "I'm sorry." β
With that, she pushed the door open and motioned down.
Ye Jinran suddenly started the car, so frightened that Xia Luoxi hurriedly leaned back and closed the car door.
The car had already driven forward for dozens of meters, Xia Luoxi was still frightened, staring at the back of his head, she secretly said that he couldn't have one more reminder before driving? A breath of evil air surged up, and Xia Luoxi's face turned red.
But the car was so quiet that she didn't dare to say anything, she was silent for a few seconds, and her anger gradually decreased.
It was not easy to negotiate with him last time, and the two of them tried not to be tense, calm, calm, just treat him as an unqualified driver.
It's not the first time to get into his car, but every time without exception, the journey is silent, both of them are like dumb people, driving and driving, thinking about things, silent all the way, until the car drives into the only courtyard area in City A where private residence is now.
Ye Jinran parked the car at the gate, Xia Luoxi unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car, he went around to the back of the car, opened the trunk, there were many boxes and bags of supplements, Xia Luoxi stepped forward and carried a few in his hand, and said somewhat embarrassedly: "I've been too busy with work recently, I forgot the time, and I forgot to buy gifts." β
Ye Jinran didn't even look at her, and still said coldly: "It's just a formality, so don't waste prop money." β
With that, he stepped out on long legs and walked ahead.
Xia Luoxi touched her nose and secretly said that she shouldn't explain, anyway, she didn't have to think that his parents wouldn't treat her, and she didn't care what she brought over.
followed Ye Jinran into the courtyard, every time she took a step inside, Xia Luoxi was very stressed, the first time she saw her strange family, and she thought about the reason why she could marry the Ye family, and it would be hellish to be liked by them, so she really didn't want to come.
Walking forward twenty or thirty meters, Xia Luoxi and Ye Jinran came to the door of the main house, the door was not closed tightly, Ye Jinran directly stretched out her hand to pull it away, Xia Luoxi stood beside him, while changing her shoes, she reluctantly squeezed out a smiling face, and was waiting for him to shout 'Mom', she followed and laughed.
Xu heard that there was movement here, and a middle-aged beautiful woman came out of the living room, her face was four or five points similar to Ye Jinran, especially a pair of fox eyes, and when she laughed, she looked forward to her posture, and people who were almost fifty could be so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it.
Xia Luoxi grinned stiffly, and it took a slow half a beat to react, laughing? How could the hostess of the night house (Pei Xuling) smile at her?
Sure enough, Pei Xuling walked out with a smile, but as soon as she saw Xia Luoxi at the door, she immediately sank her face, and the speed of changing her face was so fast that Xia Luoxi didn't know whether to retract the smile on her face.
Ye Jinran called, "Mom." β
Xia Luoxi also stiffened her head, and shouted, "Auntie." β
She did get a certificate with Ye Jinran, but Pei Xuling looked for herself on the second day of marriage, and said it in front of her that she didn't admit it, so no matter what happened, Xia Luoxi wouldn't call her mother, not to mention that although she was looking forward to having her own mother in her consciousness, the word mother was still unfamiliar in her mind.
The two of them had just put their things at the door and were about to go inside, when suddenly another female voice came, "Aunt Pei, I just made sweet and sour fish, you taste it first." β
Not only Xia Luoxi, but Ye Jinran also had a flash of surprise in his eyes.
I saw a woman in an apron dodge out of the kitchen, still holding a plate of sweet and sour carp in both hands.
As soon as she went out, she saw that the corridor was not only Pei Xuling alone, but also Ye Jinran and Xia Luoxi, and the woman also had a stunned expression, especially when she looked at Xia Luoxi.
Seeing this, Pei Xuling's eyeballs went back and forth slightly, and she immediately smiled and said, "Jinran brought her friends back, and she didn't say hello in advance." β
After speaking, she said to Ye Jinran: "I asked Yiyi to come over for dinner, Yiyi bought a lot of things you like to eat, and I have to cook by myself, I'm embarrassed." β
Qiao Yiyi hooked the corners of her lips towards Ye Jinran, and said with a smile: "You came back just in time, sweet and sour fish, your favorite food, come and taste it." β
Ye Jinran's handsome face had an indifferent expression, and said, "I like to eat what the nanny makes." β
Pei Xuling hurriedly said: "Yiyi cooks by himself, you are blessed, and you are picky." β
Qiao Yiyi smiled undiminishedly, and said as usual: "Jinran has been picky since she was a child, but my sweet and sour fish is praised by your nanny." β
Pei Xuling bent her eyes and said with kindness and kindness: "Yiyi is ingenious, whoever married you as a daughter-in-law is really blessed." β
The scene of a happy family, Xia Luoxi is like a bystander who can't be beaten, even if she and Ye Jinran are standing side by side at this moment, but she has a very obvious experience, it is a feeling of being excluded.
She stood still like a bell, and Pei Xuling couldn't see her as air, so she pretended to be unfamiliar with her, and said symbolically: "Jinran, introduce your friend to Yiyi." β
seems to be afraid that Ye Jinran will say more, so he intentionally or unintentionally puts the word friend more seriously.
Ye Jinran didn't wait to speak, standing in front of Xia Luoxi, Qiao Yiyi, who looked like the daughter-in-law of the Ye family, opened her mouth, with a smile on her face, and said: "Jinran, I haven't seen you for a long time, how is my uncle doing lately?" β
At this moment, there was a noise from a room on the first floor, and a wheelchair was pushed out of one room......
