Chapter IX: Identity
Yi Qi returned to her room and locked herself in the room. The set of "Classic of Mountains and Seas" was still on the table, Yi Qi walked to the table, raised his hand, and wanted to push away the pile of books, hesitated for a moment, but slowly put down the raised hand.
She can't lose her temper, and no matter how big the grievance is, she has to hold it in her heart. Because she is the daughter of the Yiqi family, she is the one at the top of the pyramid. Her words and deeds will be known and discussed.
She doesn't like this kind of identity, she doesn't like this kind of life, she has to do everything she says and does to show others, and every word and deed shows the nobility and elegance of Miss Yiqi's daughter. Others only know that Yi Qi's smile is comparable to a flower, but they don't know that her heart is full of grievances.
In Yi Qi Wanxi's memory, the Wang family has been very harsh on her since she was a child, she thought that the Wang family didn't like her, she thought that the Wang family was patriarchal, but she still comforted herself like a husband comforted herself, which was Wang's high hopes for her. But the birth of Yi Qi Mancao made her understand that the Wang family really didn't like her. But she didn't know why, and she never asked. She thought that she must not be good enough, so her mother didn't like her, otherwise why was she also a daughter, she treated the vines much better than herself? Many times, Yi Qi Wanxi even wonders if she is the biological daughter of the Wang family. But everyone said that she was the third miss of the Yiqi family, the third miss who was fake, and the third miss who was very sensible when she was in her mother's womb.
If...... Yi Qi sighed lightly, looked up at the sky, the sky was clear, and muttered to himself: "How good it should be if I don't have the surname Yi Qi......"
At the same time, the back garden.
Yi Qi Mingzhi sat on the recliner and smoked a big cigarette, and heard Yi Qi Cranberry calling him, so he raised his eyes to look at her, sat up slowly, and said, "Cranberry."
Yi Qi Mancao smiled, seemed to be in a good mood, and asked, "What is the matter with Daddy calling me?"
Yi Qi Mingzhi said leisurely: "Sit down, Daddy has something to tell you."
Yi Qi Mancao blinked and sat down obediently with a smile.
Yi Qi Mingzhi took another puff of cigarette before saying, "You have someone you like."
"What?" Yi Qi Mancao looked at Yi Qi Mingzhi with a shocked face, then blushed, lowered his head, and said lightly, "Why did Daddy ask this suddenly?" ”
Yi Qi Mingzhi looked at her, thinking that she had a sweetheart, but what should be said still had to be said, it was just up to her to choose. So he said: "Today, the young man is proposing, are you willing to marry the Si family?"
"Si Jia?" Yi Qi Mancao's heart trembled suddenly, joy welled up in his heart, and his eyebrows were full of joy, "Si family? Si Yu's Si family? ”
Si Yu is Si Nan's elder brother. The reason why Yi Qi Mancao didn't talk about Sinan was just because he was scared and shy. For the person he likes, Yi Qi Mancao can't always mention his name to others when he is happy.
Seeing that Yi Qi Mancao's expression was very happy, Yi Qi Mingzhi also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Exactly."
Yi Qi Mancao lowered his head, bit his lip to restrain his smile, and after a long time, he asked shyly, "What does Daddy think?"
"Your own marriage, Daddy doesn't make decisions for you." Yi Qi Mingzhi looked at Yi Qi Mancao and said, "If you are willing, Daddy will take care of this family business for you." ”
Yi Qi Mancao raised his eyes to look at Yi Qi Mingzhi, was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "I...... If Daddy wants to agree, then Daddy should do it. ”
Yi Qi Mingzhi's face was full of smiles, and he was very kind. He didn't guess wrong, Mancao has a sweetheart, and to his relief, Mancao's sweetheart is surnamed Si.
But he said that when he was having dinner, he didn't see Yi Qi Wanxi, Yi Qi Mancao couldn't help but wonder, Yi Qi Mingzhi also frowned, and asked, "Hasn't Wanxi come back yet?"
When Wang heard this, he was just silent, and Li said with an indifferent face: "In her own room, she doesn't know what she's doing, and she can't call it."
Yi Qi Mingzhi glanced at Wang, but did not speak.
After the meal, Yi Qi Mancao came to Yi Qi Wanxi's house, saw that there was no light inside, knocked on the door, and there was no response, so he sat at the door, leaned his head against the door frame, looked up at the night sky, tilted his head slightly, and asked to himself, "Sister hasn't slept yet, has she?"
Inside the house, Yi Qi Wanxi sat on a chair, and when she heard Yi Qi's voice from the grass, she replied softly: "Hmm."
"Has my sister been wronged by anything?" Yi Qi Mancao was still looking at the night sky, and her clear eyes were shining with stars.
When Yi Qi heard this, there were more tears in her eyes, and she was speechless.
"I remember that before, I was wronged, and my sister told me that when I wanted to cry, I looked up at the sky, and the daughter of the Yiqi family couldn't shed tears." Yi Qi Mancao said, looking at the stone path in the courtyard that shimmered in the moonlight, and his tone was as gentle as the moonlight, "I can't do it, but my sister can always do it." I always thought, my sister must be tired, right? It's obviously a girl, and it's obviously fragile, but it's always a very strong look. After my sister left, I realized that my sister has always been like this because she is the third lady of the Yiqi family. ”
Although he knew that Yi Qi Wanxi would not answer, Yi Qi Mancao was still looking forward to something. The air was quiet and the night breeze was slightly cool. Yi Qi Mancao pulled the black shawl on his shoulder, and was silent for a long time before he spoke again: "Sister, if you were not imprisoned by such an identity, I think you would definitely be happier than now."
Inside the house, Yi Qi Wanxi tightly squeezed the gorgeous silk light purple dress on her body with both hands, biting her lip tightly, but she didn't make a sound.
Yi Qi Mancao's voice clearly entered her eardrums through the door, and her tone was gentle, with a little joy: "Sister, do you remember Sinan?" She asked, but it didn't seem like she was asking Yi Qi Wanxi, or she knew that she couldn't wait for an answer, so she said to herself, "Daddy said that he came to propose marriage today." Yi Qi Mancao said, looking at the door, as if he could see Yi Qi Wanxi through the door, "Daddy asked me if I would like to marry the Si family, in fact, I am very happy, because...... I like Sinan very much. Yi Qi Mancao said, joy rising to his cheeks, and his tone was much softer, "But I don't know his thoughts, so I haven't said it." Then he raised his head, took in a little joy, and his tone was a little more serious, "I only tell my sister about this, my sister is not allowed to tell others." ”
When Yi Qi heard this, the hand holding the skirt slowly loosened, but frowned.
Yi Qi was happy, but Yi Qi was worried. Yi Qi Wanxi didn't know why, but she felt faintly uneasy.
As the night deepened, Yi Qi Mancao got up in the moonlight, patted the hem of her skirt, and said to Yi Qi through the door: "Sister, good night." After finishing speaking, he stood at the door and waited for more than ten seconds, but he never waited for Yi Qi's answer, knowing that he couldn't wait, he turned around and left.
Yi Qi Vine's steps were very light, as if he was afraid of disturbing the quiet. Yi Qi Wanxi knew that Yi Qi Mancao's pace had always been like this. Yi Qi vine grass, every step is very cautious. Yi Qi vine grass, every time he does something, he will think twice.
But like this, when she meets Sinan, she will still lose her mind.
Although Yi Qi Wanxi has been in the UK for a few years, she doesn't know much about Shanghai, but she still knows a little more about the affairs of the Yi Qi family. The Si family is one of them.
When Yi Qi Wanxi was still young, Yi Qi Mingzhi said to her, some people and things, if you are not interested, you can not care, because it has nothing to do with you, but some people and things, you are not interested, you have to care, because it is related to you.
The Si family is related to the Yi Qi family.
In the past, among the many young men who proposed to Yi Qi Wanxi, there was the eldest young master of the Si family, Si Yu.
At that time, Yi Qi Wanxi felt that Si Yu was a person who could be entrusted with her life, but Si Yu told her: "Everything I do is not for myself."
Yi Qi looked at him gracefully, because of the backlight, his face was hidden in the shadows, Yi Qi Wanxi couldn't see his expression clearly, only heard his apologetic voice: "My identity does not allow me to be myself." If it were someone else, I might have married, but you are a good girl, and I don't want to delay you, so I tell you that if you marry me, I may ...... Can't be held accountable to you. ”
At that time, Yi Qi Wanxi was only thirteen years old, and it was rare to have a throbbing heart that was smashed to the ground by Si Yu.
Xu was so angry that with the mentality of breaking the jar, Yi Qi Wanxi agreed to Qi Tianyu. And he went to the UK just to avoid Si Yu.
Why did Sinan marry Mancao?
Yi Qi walked to the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, propped her hands on the bed, and looked at the floor and thought.
Sinan wants to marry Mancao?
The two young masters of the Si family are the objects of many women in Shanghai who want to marry, and the Si family is the door that many families in Shanghai want to climb. It is said that Si Nan's heart is like iron, he doesn't understand love and won't pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and Mancao has never been clear about his mind before, why did he suddenly come to propose? Is it for himself, or for the Si family?
Yi Qi Wanxi knew that marrying the Yi Qi family would be of great benefit to the Si family, and marrying the Si family would also be of great benefit to the Yi Qi family, and the Yi Qi family would definitely not refuse this family business.
Mancao likes Sinan, and she is naturally willing to marry Sinan. If Sinan and her are happy, the two will be happy. But if it's just Yi Qi Mancao's wishful thinking, the two of them are afraid that they will suffer for a lifetime.
Since returning to Shanghai, Yi Qi Wanxi has not seen Sinan and Si Yu, and it has been five years, and she doesn't know the changes between the two. But the person that Yi Qi Mancao likes will not be bad if he thinks about it, after all, Yi Qi Mancao is good enough, and her vision is picky enough, and she must not look down on ordinary people.
And as far as Yi Qi Wanxi knows, Si Yu, the eldest young master of the Si family, is still unmarried, how can Si Yiqi be in a hurry to find a daughter-in-law for his youngest son? Could it be ......
Si Yu won't marry?
This thought came to his mind, and a little joy flashed in Yi Qiwanxi's heart, and that joy was soon covered by sadness.
Si Yu, she is not worthy.
Si family, she didn't dare to think about it.
He is the pain she has always had, and he is the regret she has always had.
It's not that she doesn't dare to be willful, she's not without a temper, she's just afraid. She knew that the people who would indulge her were only in the Yiqi Mansion. Out of this door, she doesn't count anything at all. Without the identity of the third lady, she is nothing.
If she wasn't Yi Qi Wanxi, she would definitely be more comfortable than now, and if she wasn't Yi Qi Wanxi, she would definitely be happier than now.
Everyone knows that in Yiqi's mansion, there is a beautiful person named Wanxi. But they didn't know that she, Yi Qi Wanxi, was actually not as holy as they said, nor as noble as they saw.
"I'm just nothing." Wang's face appeared in his mind, and Yi Qi laughed softly to herself.
Yi Qi Wanxi suddenly envied Yi Qi Mancao, at least, she was loved by everyone, at least, she could marry the person she liked, at least, she was very happy. At least, she has the capital to be loved, she has the capital to be capricious, and she has the capital to be happy.
Although in the eyes of the public, Yi Qi Mancao is not as good as Yi Qi Wanxi, but Yi Qi Wanxi knows that Yi Qi Mancao is thousands of times better than her. Because, Yi Qi Mancao is alive, and it is herself. And Yi Qi Wanxi is alive, but it is only Yi Qi Wanxi. Because no matter how willful Yi Qi Mancao is, he also has the capital to be forgiven, but once Yi Qi Wanxi makes a mistake, he will not be forgiven. She had already been caught, so she was more careful.
The more scared you are, the more cautious you are; The more careful you are, the more scared you are.
Si Yu was the first man other than Yi Qi Mingzhi to make her feel safe, the first man to make her heart move, and the first man to break her heart.
The Si family is the first family that makes Yi Qi Wanxi look forward to, and it is also the first family that makes Yi Qi Wanxi's heart ache.
Because of Si Yu, Yi Qi Wanxi felt for the first time that she was no different from other girls. Because of Si Yu, Yi Qi Wanxi felt for the first time that she was not so good at all. If not, why doesn't he like himself?
Because of the Si family, Yi Qi Wanxi felt for the first time that the third lady of the Yi Qi family was nothing at all. Because of the Si family, Yi Qi Wanxi felt for the first time that money and status were nothing at all. If not, why doesn't the Si family fight for themselves?
The so-called daughter of the Yi Qi family is just a fictitious title. The so-called money and status are nothing more than self-enjoyment.
