Chapter 374: See You at Last (18)
He Xiu, Xiao Zhengtao, Xiao Baiqian, and Xiao Qing sat at the dining table, and only He Xiu was smiling.
"Today our family is finally reunited, and I really feel very happy."
He Xiu really never dreamed that there would be such a day.
She looked at Xiao Zhengtao's gaze, which was gentle and could drip water.
"Mother, if you are happy, we will be happy."
Xiao Baiqian echoed, it was the first time he had seen her such an expression since he was a child.
Xiao Qing pouted secretly, "Mother, you didn't let us ask before, since you are with ...... Uncle Xiao, the feelings are so deep, why did you leave in the first place? β
There was an indescribable resentment in her voice.
If it weren't for the fact that she abandoned her father and daughter back then, how could she be so angry now?!
The atmosphere at the dinner table, because of her words, suddenly froze.
Xiao Baiqian immediately gave her a warning look, was she crazy? How dare you even ask such a question?
Xiao Qing didn't care at all, "Big brother, why do you think of me like this?" Aren't you also curious? In the past, we asked, my mother would definitely be sad, but now it's different, Uncle Xiao is here, ask what's wrong? β
"Qingqing, this is my mother's private matter......"
"Alright, don't quarrel with you brothers and sisters."
He Xiu interrupted Xiao Baiqian's reproach, and then glanced at Xiao Zhengtao again.
Xiao Zhengtao nodded at her, and she continued to speak: "Since you want to know, then mother will tell you that story." β
Not only them, but also Xiaofeng, if she knew, would she hate her less back then? !
"That year, I was nineteen years old, the only daughter of the He family, and there was an older brother on top of me......"
He Xiu's voice was very soft, but it made Xiao Baiqian and Xiao Qing look serious at the same time, and pricked up their ears.
They didn't even know that there was an uncle in the He family!
"The He family's industry was single-handedly laid down by your grandfather, although the scale at that time was not as good as now, but it was also a well-known wealthy family.
In that year, because He Qing, that is, your uncle, provoked people who should not be provoked, the business plummeted, and the family was close to collapse.
In order to be able to keep the family property, they thought of a way to marry to resolve the crisis.
And I am a victim of this crisis.
I don't have any feelings for the man I married, but as the daughter of the He family, I have to accept this arrangement.
Just half a month before the wedding, something happened, and I was kidnapped by a group of gangsters along with the man.
The man left me behind and ran away alone in order to survive. β
Speaking of this, He Xiu's voice paused slightly.
At this time, Xiao Zhengtao gently held her hand, and she laughed, but her smile was full of desolation.
Xiao Baiqian and Xiao Qing were stunned at the same time, unbelievable, such a thing had happened to her!
"I don't know where I was kidnapped by those gangsters, but I just hope that my family can pay me back for a ransom.
One day, two days, three days......
On the seventh day, I finally saw the sun again, and I thought I was saved, but they told me that the He family couldn't get the money they wanted, and my so-called fiancΓ© was frightened and chose to go abroad for treatment.
I was completely abandoned by them......"
He Xiu's emotions still didn't have any ups and downs, as if those unbearable past just happened to strangers.
