Chapter Eighty-Three: A Lifesaver
Xu Shi didn't want to break away from Jiang Zhen this time, but slowly groped with both hands, and finally grabbed his clothes tightly, like grasping a life-saving straw.
She was scared, really scared.
No one stayed by her side to accompany her, no one could rely on her, and even her own daughter couldn't protect this kind of day, which really made her fed up!
"I promise you." Xu finally said, she made up her mind, and her tone was rarely resolute.
"What do you say? Can...... Say it again? However, at this time, Jiang Zhen couldn't believe his ears, and couldn't help but look down and observe her expression seriously, afraid that he had made a mistake.
"I said, I promise you to take care of me and Baoying, and in the future, I will be a family with you......" Although Xu Shi was blind and couldn't see anything, his cheeks were hot and he lowered his head, not daring to let him see his face.
For an introverted person like her to be able to say such a thing is already a matter of courage and exhaustion of her shame.
At this time, she didn't dare to raise her head at all.
"Great, great! I am happy! Jiang Zhen was overjoyed, and immediately took Xu into his arms and hugged her tightly.
"You...... Don't be like this, in case you are seen by Baoying......" Xu Shi was very embarrassed to struggle slightly at this time.
Her face was red as if it were dripping blood.
As soon as Jiang Zhen heard this, he quickly restrained and let go of her, and helped her outside with both hands.
The two sat down at the table, each a little cramped.
Jiang Zhen rarely had such a moment in his life, and Xu was embarrassed and didn't know how to tell Baoying about it later, but he was also a little guilty.
She promised Jiang Zhen, but she really carried too much selfishness.
If she marries Jiang Zhen, then the Sun family will no longer have a way to think about matching Bao Ying and Jiang Chao, and with Jiang Zhen standing behind Bao Ying, she will no longer be coveted casually.
"When I go back today, I will explain this matter to my family, when the time comes, if you want to live in the Jiang family, move to the Jiang family with me, if you still want to live here, I will live here with you, and everything will be up to you." Jiang Zhen looked at Xu and said slowly.
He is a big man, with a usual resolute face at the moment, but he also has a little bit of piping hot.
When he said such a thing again, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but have a hint of smile.
Although Xu couldn't see his expression, with his tone, he could also hear the joy in his heart, and only said shyly: "This, it still depends on Baoying's idea......"
"Yes, Bao Ying has always had an idea, I'll ask her later." Jiang Zhen nodded and said, considering that the Xu family is thin-skinned, I am afraid that it will be difficult to talk about this matter, and he took the initiative to say, "Let me talk about this later." β
"Well, listen to you." Xu's voice was as thin as a gnat, and she agreed.
However, what Jiang Zhen likes is that she is as graceful and introverted as a spring drizzle, and he only thinks that her low eyebrows are pleasing to her eyes, and her every move is too much in his eyes, which makes him want to cherish her even more.
After saying these words, neither of them spoke again.
However, between them, a subtle atmosphere naturally lingered.
Even when Gu Baoying came over with the fried dishes, she felt an unusual atmosphere for the first time.
She put the dish on the table and looked at the two of them a little strangely.
I saw that Xu Shi lowered his head slightly, his ears were red like blood, and Jiang Zhen was also unusual, and she wondered if she had made a mistake with inexplicable joy.
"Baoying, I'll help you serve the meal." Jiang Zhen took the initiative to stand up and said.
"Oh, good." Gu Baoying nodded, in a strange mood.
The two walked into the stove room one after the other.
In the hall, Xu knew that Jiang Zhen was going to avoid her, and when she told Bao Ying about the matter between the two of them, she couldn't help but be even more shy, even if there was no one in the house at this time, she still lowered her head and didn't dare to raise it.
After arriving at the stove room, Jiang Zhen took a bowl, picked up a spoon, and began to serve rice.
"Baoying, your mother promised to marry me." He pursed his lips, without any foreshadowing, and went straight to the point.
"Huh?" Gu Baoying was in a trance for a while, but she quickly reacted and couldn't help but laugh, "No wonder my mother was so red just now!" It's unexpected! β
"I didn't think she'd promise me?" Jiang Zhen also smiled slightly.
"No, I think my mother will promise you sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to be at this time."
"Well, when I go back today, I will discuss the marriage with the people of the Jiang family, where do you want to live?" Jiang Zhen said the plan he had just told the Xu family again.
"I thought, why don't you live here? The Jiang family, plus me and my mother, my eldest brother and Zhiyan, I'm afraid it's a little crowded, uncle, if you don't dislike it, let's live here? Gu Baoying thought for a moment and asked for his opinion.
"Yes, let's stay here." Jiang Zhen nodded.
He served the meal, and the two of them first sent food to Zhiyan and Gu Xian, and then sent it to the hall and sat down with Xu to eat together.
This meal was a bit silent.
Although Gu Baoying was very calm just now, in fact, she was a little excited in her heart.
Originally, I thought that the Xu family would be softened by Jiang Zhen, and I was afraid that it would take a while, but I didn't expect to agree so suddenly.
However, this is also understandable, after all, recently, all kinds of troublesome things have come one after another, and Xu is afraid that he can't resist it.
But she believes that if the Xu family has no willingness at all, she will never agree to Jiang Zhen.
"I'll go back to Jiang's house first, you can wait for my news at home." After Jiang Zhen finished eating, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, and his voice was not as deep and steady as usual, but with a bit of flying lightness.
"Okay." Gu Baoying nodded, and Xu Shi also responded softly.
As soon as Jiang Zhen left, the house fell into an eerie calm.
Xu was embarrassed to face his daughter's shyness, while Gu Baoying was a little bit of a good show, and deliberately did not squeak.
Sure enough, Xu couldn't hold his breath at first: "Baoying, he, did he tell you?" β
"Huh? What? Who is he? What did you say? Gu Baoying knew what she was referring to, but she deliberately pretended to be confused and said in a puzzled tone.
"Hey, Baoying, that's it, Li Zheng, I promised him......" Xu Shi said almost with difficulty, and his cheeks, which had not been back to normal for a while, burned red again.
"Oh, you mean Uncle Rizheng? What did you promise him? He was in the stove room just now, and only asked me if I wanted to live here, or live in Jiang's house, I heard vaguely, we must live here, why do we live in Jiang's house? Mother, does Uncle Lizheng mean anything else when he says this? Gu Baoying felt that this Xu family was really cute, and she couldn't help but want to tease her.
"You kid...... He asked you this, of course, because, because, I promised to marry him! Xu thought that his daughter really didn't know, and thought that a man in Jiangzhen was still too naΓ―ve and didn't make it clear to his daughter, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious and simply admit it honestly!
"What? Mother, why did you promise him? Don't you want to marry him? Gu Baoying covered her mouth and snickered, but when she opened her mouth, she was still serious.
"I used to have some, but then I ......" Xu was frowning, thinking about how to explain this to his daughter.
However, just listen to the "poof"!
But Gu Baoying couldn't hold back anymore and burst out laughing!
Xu Shi was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and then slammed the table angrily and funny, "You kid! β
