103 An unbearable past
"Miss Xie, do you want to hear a story?" The old man twisted the Buddhist beads in his hand, accompanied by a soft sigh, and his calm and firm voice gradually substituted my thoughts into it.
Once upon a time, there was a rich young lady, her mother died early, she lived carefree under the care of her father since she was a child, growing up like a flower in a greenhouse, with a gentle and cowardly personality.
When the rich lady was in college, she met a poor boy, and she didn't know how the poor boy attracted the rich lady, anyway, the rich lady loved the poor boy to death.
But after all, the rich lady's father has experienced strong winds and waves, especially through a few private observations, he always feels that the poor boy's eyes reveal indescribable greed and shrewdness. As a person who has been in the business for many years, his intuition tells him that the purpose of the poor boy is not simple.
The father tried to persuade his daughter, but the daughter had already let love get carried away and couldn't listen to him at all, and the originally gentle and cowardly daughter seemed to have a firm attitude at this time, and even became pregnant first.
The father had no choice but to agree to the marriage of the two, but the father also put forward his own conditions, let the poor boy be the son-in-law, and change the surname of the woman's family, and the children born in the future will also follow the woman's surname.
At that time, such a request was a great shame for a man, especially a man with serious traditional concepts, I am afraid that he would not agree to it if he couldn't get married.
But the poor boy readily agreed, saying that he had been an orphan since he was a child, and that he had longed for a complete family, so in the presence of a private lawyer, the poor boy signed an agreement full of shame for men.
Later, the two got married, and soon after the marriage, the rich lady gave birth to a cute little boy.
Speaking of this, the old man's voice stopped abruptly.
My hand holding the purple sand cup trembled involuntarily, if I guessed correctly-
"Yes, Miss Fu is my only daughter Xu Jiao!" The old man raised his head and looked at me quietly, his eyes flashed with a hint of indifference and sadness, "Jun Yan is my grandson, and Xu Qian is my son-in-law." ”
"Originally, none of them had the surname Xu!" He shook his head as if deprecating himself, smiling a little helplessly.
Although I was mentally prepared, I was still shocked when the old man said it himself.
No wonder Xu Qian once angrily accused Xu Junyan of following the old man to show off his might in front of him, and also said that Xu Junyan was not surnamed Xu in the first place.
And when Xu Qian and Ding Lan were looking for a will, I always wondered, Xu Qian was the legal heir of the Xu family, why should he be so concerned about Xu Junyan's fucking will.
Now that I think about it, I finally understand that as the only daughter of the Xu family, Xu Junyan is the legal heir to the Xu family's property, and then of course Xu Junyan is next.
And Xu Qian, it seems that because of his identity as a son-in-law, with the growth of his own son, he gradually fell into an increasingly embarrassing situation.
In the traditional concept of China, the status of the son-in-law has always been low, thinking of Xu Qian's always gloomy and dull face, it is probably that he has been suppressed in the Xu family for too long!
I couldn't help but sigh, and almost subconsciously blurted out, "Mr. Xu, I can still understand if you let Jun Yan follow the surname Xu, but why did you also let Uncle Xu change his surname?" ”
Xu Qian was already aggrieved enough when he became a son-in-law, and he even changed his surname, so I'm afraid I hated it in my heart!
"You don't understand," the old man glanced at me faintly, and casually held the Buddha beads in his palm, "Jiaojiao is a good child, but she is a daughter after all!" ”
I was speechless when I heard it, and I chatted with the old man for a long time, but the final central idea of the main body is still to want a son?
This......
I can't answer that.
Not to mention that people of such an age as the old man are conservative, let's just say that at present, the phenomenon of a daughter-in-law giving birth to a son and her in-laws can't help but be happy, and turning around and leaving after giving birth to a daughter abounds!
"I've always wanted a son, but Jiaojiao's mother went too early!" Obviously, the old man's feelings for his deceased wife are still quite deep, his voice suddenly became much lower, and after a pause for a few seconds, he said in a firm tone, "The Xu family's family business must not fall into the hands of outsiders, no matter what, the heir of Zhengqing can only be surnamed Xu!" ”
I heard a wry smile in my heart, old man, aren't you deceiving yourself?
On the one hand, he said that the family business could not fall into the hands of outsiders, and on the other hand, he forced his son-in-law to change his surname to Xu, but even if he changed his surname, isn't he still an outsider in essence?
However, listening to the old man's meaning, it is obvious that there is only one heir he recognizes, and that is Xu Junyan.
"Jun Yan is now my only hope, and the only hope of the Xu family! He is different from Xu Qian, he has been surnamed Xu since he was a child! The old man obviously understood my thoughts, he glanced at me lightly, and said unhurriedly, "As for Xu Qian, he has been an outsider from beginning to end......
"But Uncle Xu also loves Aunt Xu no matter what he says, isn't it ...... you keep treating him as an outsider" I originally wanted to say "excessively", but out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of the old man's face and suddenly changed, it was as gloomy as a dark cloud.
"Love?" The old man sneered twice, a trace of sadness and anger appeared on his face, and his eyes glared at me sharply, "Little girl, do you know how my daughter died?" ”
This is not unfamiliar, on the night when Xu Qian and Ding Lan led people into the paradise, Xu Junyan also asked Xu Qian the same question, I remember that Xu Qian's face changed suddenly, and I still remember the dodge of his eyes at that time, which was clearly like a thief.
However, if Xu Qian killed Xu Jiao, it would definitely be impossible, otherwise he would not have stayed in the Xu family unharmed until now.
"Jun Yan was kidnapped when he was a child!" The old man opened his mouth lightly.
Although I already knew, it was not good to betray Li Zheng, so I deliberately made a surprised expression.
He picked up the teacup and brought it to his mouth, probably because he felt that the tea was cold, but he didn't drink it in the end, but just pinched it in his hand, "Two days before the accident, Jiaojiao was just admitted to the hospital because of a recurrence of heart disease. ”
"Heart disease?" I was stunned, "How could Aunt Xu suffer from heart disease?" ”
The old man sighed, "Jiaojiao is a congenital heart disease, medical experts have diagnosed it, saying that it will affect fertility, and Jiaojiao has always had low self-esteem because of this, you can imagine what Jun Yan means to her!" In order not to irritate her, I gave a gag order to all the people in the Xu family to hide it from her! ”
"At that time, the kidnappers demanded a huge ransom and demanded cash, and while trying every means to rescue Jun Yan, I urged the doctor to arrange the operation as soon as possible." As he spoke, the old man's emotions suddenly became excited, "But Xu Qian, a brute, secretly told Jiaojiao the day before Jiaojiao's surgery without telling her." ”
"Jiaojiao fell into a coma the day I heard the news, and although I used all my connections to call the best cardiologist overnight, by the time they arrived, Jiaojiao had stopped breathing forever."
When he said the last sentence, the old man's originally bright eyes suddenly lost their brilliance, he stared at the Buddha beads in his hand in a daze, his lips seemed to tremble, but he couldn't say half a word anymore.
For parents, it is a great pain for parents to have their children die before themselves.
I can understand the old man's feelings, not to mention that Xu Jiao is still his only daughter.
I really can't understand Xu Qian's behavior, Xu Junyan was kidnapped, he must be anxious as a father, but Xu Jiao is facing life-and-death heart surgery, and he still stimulates her, I really don't know if his brain is in water.
Did he do it on purpose?
I suddenly remembered the faces of Xu Qian and Ding Lan when they were in a hurry to find the will, and a terrible thought flashed in my heart.
However, it was only a fleeting moment.
Xu Qian was Xu Junyan's biological father after all, maybe he was really dizzy at the time, maybe he just didn't want to hide it from Xu Jiao.
However, his indifference and alienation from Xu Junyan really don't look like a qualified father.
I tried my best to suppress the discomfort caused by this, and turned my gaze to the old man, who lowered his head and seemed to be still immersed in the memory.
Although today is the second time I have met the old man, although I am not familiar with him at all, I still can't bear to see an old man over half a hundred years old in front of me so painfully.
"You still have Jun Yan, Jun Yan is really very good, and he respects and loves you very much." I comforted the old man softly.
"Yes, I still have Jun Yan," Hearing me talk about Xu Junyan, the old man raised his head, and a thick smile immediately appeared on his face, "Jun Yan is my greatest pride!" ”
I nodded, making a smirk.
"I know you're comforting me, Miss Xie," the old man's expression regained his composure after he laughed, he glanced at me lightly, and said lukewarmly, "Although I am old, I am not confused. As early as when Jiaojiao turned eighteen years old, I transferred half of my shares in Zhengqing to her, and I didn't know what Xu Qian'an's heart was. ”
I couldn't help but wonder, Old Man Xu was already suspicious of Xu Qian, and obviously he was full of hatred for Xu Qian because of Xu Jiao's death, but why could he still tolerate Xu Qian-
"For so many years, if Jun Yan hadn't been interceding for him, I would have ...... a long time ago" Old Man Xu seemed to sense my question, he snorted coldly, and a chill burst out of his eyes.
My heart trembled, and I suddenly thought that with Old Man Xu's ability, it was probably not difficult to really want to put Xu Qian to death, but Xu Junyan - he always remembered his father-son relationship with Xu Qian.
Maybe in Xu Junyan's heart, he still yearns for a warm family!
For a moment, somewhere in my heart seemed to become soft, and I suddenly felt that if Xu Junyan was sitting next to me now, I would definitely hug him.
"That's the end of the story, Miss Xie, let's talk about you and Jun Yan next!" The old man's words changed sharply, which caught me off guard for a while.
"Do you agree that Jun Yan is with me?" Although Xu Junyan had already hinted at my old man's attitude, I was still excited to hear him say this with my own ears at this time, "Thank you, Mr. Xu!" ”
"If you do what I say." The old man looked at me calmly, and his tone was cold.
