Chapter 14: You are closest to Zhichen
"When your dad was alive, we weren't allowed to see you, and your dad was gone, and there was no news of you. In the past few years, I've been asking Zhichen to look for you everywhere,"
ββ¦β¦β
"But, now it's okay, I've finally found you," Sun Huizhen carefully looked at Xia Ying's delicate face, "You are getting older and more like your mother, seeing you, it's like seeing you." β
mentioned Xia Miao, Sun Huizhen couldn't help but wet her eyes again, such a good woman, how can she just leave.
Seeing Sun Huizhen in front of her crying excitedly, Xia Ying didn't know how to comfort her, "Auntie, don't be sad, I can see you again, I am very happy to see you so happily and in such good health, and my mother will be even happier if she is here." β
Sun Huizhen took the tissue in Xia Ying's hand, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and nodded incessantly, "It would be nice if your mother was here." Since I've found you, I'll stay at my aunt's house for a few days, okay? β
"Auntie, I'm afraid not, I'm busy with work, let's do it later, okay?"
"In that case, Auntie doesn't force you, there's always time for a meal, right?" Sun Huizhen beckoned, and Butler Lan walked over, "Madam." β
"Arrange the kitchen to cook some dishes, Sakura likes to eat whatever she likes when she is a child, and she does whatever she loves."
"Yes, ma'am." Butler Blue nodded and left.
Xia Ying didn't think about eating here, she knew that Sun Huizhen hadn't seen her for many years and wanted to chat with her, more importantly, seeing her was like seeing Xia Miao, they used to be such good friends. Xia Ying couldn't bear to refuse, so she stayed.
At the dinner table, there were only three people, Sun Huizhen, Gu Zhichen and Xia Ying, Xia Ying lowered her head to eat, and Gu Zhichen was the same, only Sun Huizhen was alone, occasionally saying a few words.
"Sakura-chan, don't just eat rice, come and eat this fish." Sun Huizhen used chopsticks to clip a piece of sweet and sour fish that she loved to eat when she was a child.
Xia Ying reached over the bowl and took it, "Thank you, Auntie." β
"Eat more, you're so skinny." Sun Huizhen felt sorry for her thin appearance, and couldn't help sighing, "These days, it's really fast, you are twenty-three, Zhichen is almost thirty, you have all grown up, and Zhichen has reached the age when it is time to marry a daughter-in-law." β
Speaking of this, Xia Ying subconsciously raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Zhichen who was sitting opposite, Gu Zhichen also happened to look at her, looking at each other, a little embarrassed, she quickly lowered her eyelids.
"When it comes to this daughter-in-law, I really have to talk to you more." Sun Huizhen was a little excited, "When I was a child, you were the closest to Zhichen, just like brothers and sisters, I want you to be a staff officer for your aunt." β
Xia Ying didn't know what Sun Huizhen wanted to say, but she still nodded lightly, "Okay." β
"This girl's mother is a college classmate with me, and she is a good best friend, and her daughter, that is, this little girl is well-read, has a good family background, and is gentle and beautiful......"
"Mom......" Gu Zhichen didn't know why, and his mother suddenly mentioned this stubble...... Let's eat first. β
"Let's talk while eating, Sakura is not an outsider, just like your own sister, I have always treated her as a daughter, this brother has a blind date, let my sister consult, it should be." Sun Huizhen looked at Xia Ying with a smile, "Isn't it, Sakura." β
The corners of Xia Ying's lips hooked slightly, and she smiled, "Hmm." β
"The girl who went on a blind date with Zhichen, I like it a lot, another day, let him bring the girl over, you can also come and take a look, you will like it too."
It can be seen that Sun Huizhen has a favorite daughter-in-law, Xia Ying's heart is slightly astringent, and she nods slightly.
She didn't understand why her heart was a little sour, probably an illusion.
The days went by quickly, and he had a girlfriend, and she remembered the ...... they had talked about when they were children. Hehe, what she said when she was a child, how could she count, if she counted, she wouldn't be thrown away.
She should learn to forget those who are beautiful and keep remembering, who are fools, aren't they?
After eating, Xia Ying chatted with Sun Huizhen for a while, then got up to say goodbye, Sun Huizhen was reluctant, but she didn't force her to stay, and sent her to the door of the villa.
"Zhichen, you're your brother, you must send Sakura home safely, you know?" Sun Huizhen advised.
Gu Zhichen opened the back door, Xia Ying waved goodbye to Sun Huizhen, "Aunt Huizhen, I'm leaving, you can go back." β
It's still the driver's car, and it's still two men and women in the back of the car, one on the left and one on the right.
The car started slowly, Xia Ying leaned her head against the window and closed her eyes, she had nothing to say to him, and she didn't want to stare at him.
"My mom is talking nonsense, don't get me wrong." The man opened his mouth suddenly.
Xia Ying's eyelids that had just closed slowly opened again, she didn't want to speak, she didn't want to pay attention to him, what did she misunderstand? What can I explain to her?
Seeing that the woman ignored him, Gu Zhichen moved to Xia Ying's side, "That...... There's no blind date, I and that girl don't like each other, don't get me wrong. β
Xia Ying felt the breath of a man, sat down on the side vigilantly, and glanced at him, "Are you talking to me?" β
"yes."
"Does it have anything to do with me?" She snorted.
"I just don't want you to misunderstand," he sighed faintly, "The misunderstanding between us is deep enough. β
"Mr. Gu, you really know how to laugh, what does your matter have to do with me?"
The man looked at the woman's sideways, "Isn't it?" Since you were six years old, we have been separated, and for almost twenty years, do you dare to say that you have not hated me and resented me? β
"......" she didn't want to answer.
"Xia Ying, I want to tell you...... "He looked at the woman very seriously...... Every word I used to say, now counts. β
Xia Ying's heart suddenly stagnated, her heart was a little stuffy, she was not a six-year-old child anymore, she didn't need any promises, any oaths, and no need to coax, was he really thinking of her as a fool now?
The corners of her lips hooked up with a cold smile, "Mr. Gu, what age are you and still so naΓ―ve, do you think, I am still waiting for you to fulfill your oath and take me away?" Don't be funny. β
"I didn't just say I'd take you away, I said ......" He pressed her shoulders and made her face him, his inky pupils locked tightly in her pretty eyes...... You forget, we said that when you grow up, you want to get married. β
Xia Ying was stunned, and laughed out loud, "Mr. Gu, do you remember this?" It's funny that a five-year-old kid says something that you take seriously. β
Xia Ying smiled back and forth, the flowers trembled, only she knew how uncomfortable her heart was at this time, uncomfortable, she wanted to cry, they were as close as a family at that time, her dependence on his trust was extraordinary, but how could he treat her?
