Chapter 2: Difficult Choices
Just as Charlotte was deep in thought, an extended Lincoln pulled up in front of her.
Xia Luoxi stopped, only to see a man in his forties and fifties getting out of the car, tall, with a meticulous look on his face, a pair of bright eyes revealing sharpness and rigor, and the muscles on his arms can be seen clearly! Let those who see it have to suspect that his profession has something to do with thugs.
After seeing the man, Xia Luoxi stood in place, because this uncle was someone she knew, the secretary of her father's partner's house,
Because it is a partner's family, there are frequent contacts, so the secretary Xia Luoxi naturally knows him, because of Xia Luoxi's personality, he usually chats with him, so he gradually becomes familiar with him, and he is usually called Uncle De when he sees him!
Although the man is forty or fifty years old, he may have something to do with his usual occupation, and his skills are still vigorous, and it didn't take long for him to be in front of Xia Luoxi.
"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? Xia Luoxi was puzzled when she heard it.
Aunt Lin is the wife of Xia's father's previous partner, because the cooperative father has a lot of contacts with her family, and Xia Luoxi has also been to Aunt Lin's house a few times, and Aunt Lin treats Xia Luoxi like her own daughter.
Usually the two of them will go to the street together, buy clothes, beauty or something, once I knew that she had low back pain, Xia Luoxi happened to do a little research on this to help her recuperate, although she was not completely well, but it was not so painful,
Since the end of the cooperation, Xia Luoxi has rarely visited her house, and the contact has gradually decreased, so when she came to find herself, Xia Luoxi was very surprised!
"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 his elders, Xia Luoxi had no choice but to nod and follow Uncle De to the car!
Sitting in the car, Xia Luoxi looked at the scenery outside, thinking about her father's affairs, and couldn't understand what Aunt Lin was looking for her to do, the more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became, so she didn't want to!
Because of her father's affairs, Xia Luoxi is very tired these days, and her sleep is also very poor every day, and it didn't take long for Xia Luoxi to fall asleep after sitting in the car, and the car stopped when she was about to fall asleep.
When I opened my eyes, I found that I 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, Xia Luoxi got out of the car according to his words, followed Uncle De and walked to the teahouse, and when he entered the teahouse, he saw that the decoration of the teahouse was quite exquisite, and the decoration in the teahouse was all made of wood, and the tea table, tea chair, teapot and teacup would make you mistakenly think that you were walking into an inn in ancient times!
When Charlotte saw this, she liked it at first sight.
And when she followed Uncle De to the second floor, through the open window, she could see a large piece of green bamboo outside, which made the people who saw it feel more comfortable, and Xia Luoxi couldn't help but praise the people who designed it in her heart!
When Xia Luoxi admired the design of the teahouse, Uncle De stopped in front of a box and knocked on the door, only to hear 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.
It is unbelievable that she is forty years old, and it also makes Xia Luoxi unconsciously treat her as a "sister" every time she sees her!
"Xiaoxi, you're here, come and sit!"
Aunt Lin, who was sitting in front of the box door, said softly to Xia Luoxi after seeing Xia Luoxi.
Hearing Aunt Lin's voice, Xia Luoxi nodded, walked to the room and sat opposite Aunt Lin, Aunt Lin saw Xia Luoxi sit down and poured her a cup of tea and put it in front of her, Xia Luoxi nodded to Aunt Lin and thanked her.
At first, Aunt Lin comforted Xia Luoxi because of her father's affairs, but she didn't talk about the punctuality, Xia Luoxi couldn't help but wonder what Aunt Lin was looking for herself, after all, she hadn't been in touch for a long time, and she really didn't know the bottom of her heart when she suddenly came to her today, and she didn't want to disturb Aunt Lin's interest because of herself, so she 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 Xia Luoxi's 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! ”
Hearing her aunt's words, Xia Luoxi knew that what her aunt said next would definitely not be a good thing for her, but Xia Luoxi still prepared herself mentally in her heart.
After all, my father had an accident, and I had no one to rely on, so I needed to walk alone in the next step, 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 her aunt said, Xia Luoxi felt that Aunt Lin's evaluation of her father had probably changed, Xia Luoxi couldn't bear to let her father be misunderstood by others, so she 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 Xia Luoxi could finish speaking, Aunt Lin looked at the watch in her hand and interrupted her 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 it the daughter he married who will happen in the future, whatever, I don't want my son to be talked about behind his back, do you know the heart of a mother? ”
After listening to Aunt Lin's words, Xia Luoxi had nothing to say, because she understood the hearts of parents for the sake of their children, Xia Luoxi thought that what Aunt Lin said was not wrong,
"And then? Aunt Lin wants me to take the initiative to leave Zhou Yi, right? Xia Luoxi asked Aunt Lin rhetorically, and her tone couldn't help but be a little self-deprecating.
Aunt Lin smiled when she heard what Xia Luoxi 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,
I'm going to give you five years after you graduate, and if you can make something happen in the United States, then come back by then.
Your father is about to come out at that time, and our family and your father will definitely hold a wedding for you at that time, what do you think? ”
Listening to what Aunt Lin said, Xia Luoxi did have a moment's heartbeat, thinking that she would come back after finishing her studies and other achievements after going abroad, and she would have the ability to protect my father at that time.
But when he thought that if he went abroad, his father would not see him for a long time in prison, and he didn't know what happened to him, and he was reluctant.
"Auntie, if I don't go abroad, will you let me break up with Zhou Yi!" I secretly cheered myself up in my heart, and I asked a late question!
Aunt Lin nodded after hearing what Xia Luoxi said,
"Then you're asking me to think about it!"
"Okay, I'll only give you a week, and I hope Miss Xia can give me an accurate answer when the time comes!"
After listening to what the aunt said, and also figured out the real purpose of the aunt coming to find her today, Xia Luoxi didn't know what to do for the time being, and just wanted to leave!
"Well, okay, then if it's okay, I'll go first."
After Aunt Lin nodded, Xia Luoxi got up and left her seat and walked out of the box!
The tea on the table was untouched from start to finish!
Out of the box door, Xia Luoxi's mood was completely different from when she came, and she became heavy!
Yes, Zhou Yi is Xia Luoxi's boyfriend in college and the son of Aunt Lin.
To this day, Xia Luoxi can still remember the scene when she and Zhou Yi met for the first time, and from there, Xia Luoxi saw another him that others couldn't see.
Although Zhou Yi is uninhibited, he is a very kind heart under his uninhibited appearance!
The first time we met, it was when Xia Luoxi was on duty, when Zhou Yi was feeding a stray cat, Xia Luoxi thought it was a coincidence, after all, it was different from the people who circulated outside.
However, when she cleaned there for the second and third time, she could see Zhou Yi feeding the kittens, and at that time Xia Luoxi believed that Zhou Yi was a kind person!
And in the process of getting along slowly, the two of them got to know each other and interacted.
Finally, at a business party held by his father, Xia Luoxi also knew that he was the son of his father's partner, and his father also learned through Xia Luoxi's confession that his relationship with Zhou Yi had been closer to the Zhou family since then, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen to his father.
Thinking of the past, a sentence suddenly popped up in Xia Luoxi's 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.
Xia Luoxi couldn't help but smile bitterly, 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?
