104 Late at night let's talk
"You mean ......?" The old man's words made me chuckle in my heart, and I subconsciously clenched the teacup in my hand.
"It's not so simple to be the future mistress of the Xu family!" The old man glanced at me lightly and asked lukewarmly, "I heard that you co-founded a small company called Yicheng?" ”
The old man's tone was marked with obvious contempt, and it was not difficult to understand that for an old man who controlled a business group including a number of factories and hotels, Yicheng was probably as small as an ant in his eyes!
I nodded lightly and smiled pretending to be relaxed, "Yes, the company is small, but it's ......."
"The first thing I want to say is to give up Yicheng," the old man interrupted me impatiently, obviously he felt that listening to me talk about such a trivial matter as Yicheng was purely a waste of his time, "The women of the Xu family, at home are safe and secure to teach their husbands and children, wouldn't it be a laugh to go outside and show their faces to let their old friends know?" ”
I was so dumbfounded that I forgot to refute it for a moment.
An'an points? Husband and child?
At this moment, I was almost 100% sure that the old man was a modern version of a straight male cancer patient!
Thinking about it again, in order to continue the bloodline of the Xu family, he asked Xu Qian to change his surname, and he was commensurate with Xu Junyan's grandson, and I was even more firm in my conclusion.
"Second, I heard that you are just an undergraduate diploma from an ordinary university, and if you want to match Jun Yan, you always have to improve yourself, of course, considering the current relationship between you and Jun Yan, I will not send you abroad, but you still have to go to the domestic business school! The diploma is a little higher, and it sounds good to say! When the old man saw that I didn't speak, he thought I had agreed, and went on.
It is a good thing to study for further study, but listening to the language order of the old man, it is obvious that the premise of going to business school is to give up righteousness and sincerity first.
And listening to the old man's tone, he sent me to the business school just to package me to earn face for the Xu family, and as for coming back after mixing the diploma, of course, he still stayed at home honestly.
"Thirdly, and most importantly, before entering the door of the Xu family, I need a medical report from the hospital confirming that you are pregnant with a boy."
I couldn't help it.
I can understand the patriarchal thinking of the elderly, but when I say it so nakedly, isn't it a clear bully?
I even doubt that Old Man Xu wants to find a fertility tool for his grandson?
"What if you're pregnant with a girl?" I took a deep breath and resisted the urge to roar.
"The girl was also born, and the Xu family couldn't afford to raise children, but the premise of formal marriage was, of course, to conceive a boy." The old man twisted the Buddha beads, with a light and breezy expression.
Yes, the Xu family is not short of money, and they are not afraid that they will not be able to raise children!
But what is that?
Imagine if I am really pregnant with Xu Junyan's child, if it is a baby girl, do I have to live a nameless life with my baby?
I don't have a legal husband, and the baby doesn't have a legal father, so I can't see the light alone, and let the baby also see the light!
Such a request - I won't agree to it if you kill me!
"Mr. Xu, have you finished your request?" I asked with a forced composure.
The old man nodded casually, "Almost, as for the rest, I'll talk about it when I think about it, but if you can do the above three things, I guarantee that you can enter the door of the Xu family." ”
"Do you know your request?" With the last hint of luck, I continued to ask the old man.
"It doesn't matter if he knows it or not, doesn't my old man speak and don't count?" The old man's tone was a little stern.
"It's not a matter of whether you do or not, Mr. Xu, I absolutely believe that you are a person who does what he says!" I looked at him calmly, and my tone was calm that even I couldn't think of, "I can't agree to the three requests you made, except for the second one. ”
"What did you say?" The old man sat up straight from the wide armchair in shock, and he looked at me almost incredulously, "You said you didn't agree?" ”
I nodded heavily, "Yes." ”
"Don't go around in circles with me if you want to mention anything! House, car, money, you name it! The old man waved at me impatiently.
The old man was really simple and rude, apparently he thought that I wanted to use this to make conditions with him.
Hehe, probably in the eyes of rich people, there is no difference between talking about feelings and talking about transactions!
"I don't want anything, I just don't want to give up my career, and I don't want to give up my dignity." I met his cold eyes and spoke fearlessly.
"Career? Dignity? The old man seemed to have heard some funny joke, and he laughed so much that he coughed a few times, and after coughing, his eyes turned cold, "Miss Xie, I don't like people who don't know how to lift." ”
I continued to look at him without flinching, "Mr. Xu, I don't like others to control my life. ”
A layer of anger appeared on the old man's face, and he threw me a few words in a cold tone, "This is the end of the conversation!" ”
Immediately afterwards, he rang the bell and called Aunt Zhang in, asked her to take me to the living room to wait, and called someone to call Xu Junyan to the study.
I sat in the living room anxiously for a while, and after about half an hour, Xu Junyan walked out of the study with the old man in his arms.
Although the conversation was not pleasant, I always had to maintain the necessary respect for the elderly, so I quickly stood up.
The old man's face seemed to have softened a lot, he squinted his eyes and nodded at me, patted Xu Junyan's arm again, and said earnestly, "Junyan, don't let me down!" ”
"Knowing grandpa, I'll have a good talk with her." Xu Junyan glanced at me quickly, and comforted the old man in a gentle tone.
I looked at my grandfather and grandson blankly, I didn't know what they had just talked about in the study, but listening to Xu Junyan's tone, he seemed to want to continue to be his grandfather's lobbyist.
"Okay, you can send Miss Xie back, I'm tired too!" As soon as the old man's words fell, Sister Ying walked in from outside the door with a graceful attitude, and naturally took the old man's arm from Xu Junyan's hand.
"Can you not get tired after talking too much?" Sister Ying glanced at me casually, and then said softly, "Jun Yan will take care of it, don't worry about it, I'll send you back to your room to rest!" ”
After the two left, I turned my eyes to Xu Junyan, his face showed obvious tiredness, seeing that I was staring at him, he didn't say anything, just took my hand and led me out of the old man's mansion.
On the way back, the two men remained silent.
I couldn't figure out Xu Junyan's thoughts, but my intuition told me that he seemed to be thinking about something all the way.
The car stopped at an observation deck by the river, and when he got out of the car, he leaned against the railing, lit a cigarette and began to swallow the clouds.
I sat down in a wicker chair and watched his back in silence.
Experience tells me that Xu Junyan is generally not in a good mood when he smokes.
The night breeze was cool, and I couldn't help but sneeze.
He immediately turned around and smiled at me, then put the cigarette in his mouth and quickly took off his blazer.
The wind ruffled the broken hair on his forehead, so that he took off his coat while smoking, which was different from his usual calm and calm, but made people feel a little different ruffian and wild, and it tugged at my heartstrings as if it were nothing.
He draped his coat over my shoulders and went to the incubator in the car to get a bottle of water and handed it to me.
"I drank tea just now!" His thoughtfulness warms my heart.
"You belong to the cucumber seedling, how can a cup of tea be enough?" He stared at me playfully, paused, and whispered in my ear, "It's always better for women to have more water!" ”
"you!" I took a sip of him unceremoniously, but my mood suddenly relaxed a lot.
After all, after a day of running around and listening to Mr. Xu's tirade all night, my current state is almost physically and mentally exhausted, although he is talking meat, but to some extent it also relieves my depressed mood.
"Why didn't you say yes?" In the next second, Xu Junyan suddenly changed his words and asked me bluntly.
Under the night light, he stared at me quietly, his beautiful eyes were not alarmed, and his tone was as flat as usual.
I was stunned for a moment, I couldn't come back to my senses for a while, and after thinking for a while, I realized that he was asking me about my conversation with Mr. Xu.
But his heart suddenly cooled, he asked, did he also agree with his grandfather's request?
"Why do you say yes?" Touching the warm water bottle, my tone involuntarily became cold, "Give up your career, give up your dignity, and from now on concentrate on your pregnancy and childbirth, do you think such a request is reasonable?" ”
Xu Junyan spit out a smoke ring and looked at me with a complicated look, "I don't think so, but it's not easy to break the marriage contract, grandpa has paid a very big price, and people always have to learn to understand others." ”
Although the marriage between him and Zhou Jingru is for the two families of Xu and Zhou to stay warm, but Zhou Jingru is the daughter of the Zhou family after all, since he said so, presumably the negotiation process between the old man and the Zhou family must be difficult and tortuous.
But understand, how do I understand?
I'm also a living person, I have my own mind, and I don't want to be like a marionette to be fiddled around.
For me, love is about two people walking side by side, not one striding forward and the other following in a resigned way.
You can love, but you can't lose yourself, and at this point, I can't give in.
"I think you can promise Grandpa first, at least he doesn't object to us being together, and as for the next thing, I'll figure it out slowly." Xu Junyan turned his back to me, and his voice seemed to float from a distance, with a sense of drift that was difficult to grasp.
"If someone tells a lie, they have to make up countless lies to cover up your original lie, so I don't want to lie, and I don't want to lie to the old man." I said lightly.
"If you want money, I can give it to you, and as for the child, don't you want to give me a baby?" He turned around and looked at me with a solemn expression.
