Chapter 148 When I was hesitating
It's been a few days since she returned to China, and Wu Qian hasn't gone out for a good time. On this day, she couldn't help it anymore and wanted to pull Huo Zhengde to go out with her, but Huo Zhengde unceremoniously refused. Huo Zhengde held a newspaper in his hand, a pair of reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, and buried himself in the latest current affairs news.
Wu Qian pursed her lips, although she was not satisfied, she could only complain, she had followed Huo Zhengde for so many years, she had already figured out his temperament, this man had nothing bad in his life, and the most annoying thing was shopping. No matter what it was for, letting him accompany Wu Qian to go shopping was like dragging him to the noon gate and beheading.
"Hey, what kind of sin do you say I've done, why did I follow such an unemotional thing as you." Wu Qian folded her hands and sat on the sofa and sighed.
She has been in the United States for so many years, and she has long lost contact with the old sisters in China, and now she doesn't even know where the families have moved, and there is no one to accompany her compared to the United States.
At this time, there was a sound at the entrance, and Murong An walked in with a bag of fresh fruits he had just bought, and was sitting on the shoe changing stool at the door to change his slippers.
Wu Qian saw it, and finally stopped talking about Huo Zhengde, and turned the artillery fire to Murong An: "Hey, An An, what about Xiao Xiao?" Do you still work overtime on weekends? ”
As soon as Murong An raised his eyes, he saw Huo's father and Huo's mother, and said with a smile: "Uncle and aunt, yes." Recently, the company has been a little busy, and Brother Xiao has a lot of things, so he basically has to work overtime on weekends. Brother Xiao is afraid that you two will be bored at home, so let me bring some fruit to accompany you. ”
In fact, Huo Beixiao locked himself in the office all morning, and never even opened the door, and even drove Murong An out, not to mention that he could still think about his second elder at home.
Wu Qian pulled the corners of her mouth disdainfully and rolled her eyes: "Don't say good things for him." My son, I don't know yet? From childhood to adulthood, as long as he encountered something he was interested in, he immediately refused to recognize his relatives. Will he think of us two old men and old ladies? I guess he's so busy right now that he can't even forget who his father is. ”
Murong An smiled awkwardly, and didn't know whether to answer this sentence or not, and when he was hesitating, Wu Qian spoke again: "An An, you came back just in time, I'm really stuffy in this room." I haven't done a good shopping in China for many years, so today you can accompany me, an old lady, to go shopping and buy something. Ay...... A huge family, you are a big living person with a hot atmosphere, and the other two ......" Wu Qian squinted her eyes and glanced at Huo Zhengde who was sitting on the sofa, snorted twice, and did not finish her words.
Huo Zhengde knew who Wu Qian was aiming for, but years of experience in the Anti-Japanese War told him that it was better not to speak at this time, as soon as he spoke, this woman would definitely be able to pull him out with him for all kinds of strange reasons. So Huo Zhengde just changed his posture, didn't say a word, and continued to read the newspaper. As if Wu Qian was not talking about him.
Looking at Huo Zhengde's dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, Wu Qian sighed helplessly.
Murong An went back to the room to change his clothes, and then went out of the movie park with Wu Qian.
The driver, Lao Liu, was left by Huo Beixiao to facilitate Huo Zhengde and Wu Qian to go out, and at this time, he directly drove Murong An and Wu Qian to the most lively Lida commercial building.
"Wow, I haven't seen this area develop into a city center in a few years. I really haven't been out for a long time, and I don't know this city anymore, is this still the Nguyen City I grew up in? ”
The traffic is busy, and the towering high-rise buildings make Wu Qian overwhelmed. Everywhere she went, there were now all kinds of buildings made of steel and concrete, and Wu Qian couldn't help but miss Ruan Chenglai when she was a child.
"Auntie, if you like shopping, An An will accompany you every day, and you will definitely be satisfied with shopping." Murong An opened a bottle of water for Wu Qian, took Wu Qian's arm and said.
Wu Qian smiled and shook her head: "You said you, it's a pity not to be my daughter." If Xiao Xiao is half filial to you, hey, I will be happy. ”
Murong An bowed his head shyly and smiled: "Auntie, Brother Xiao is actually very filial." It's just that his filial piety is different from ours, and he also loves you very much in his heart. That's why he's working so hard so hard to make you proud of him. ”
"Hey, our Huo family will have two sons to support us in the future, and the old man and I are really relieved."
Murong An was stunned: "Two? "Why hasn't she heard that Huo Beixiao actually has a brother?
"Oh...... It's nothing. Wu Qian's expression froze, and she knew that she had lost her words, so she could only pull the corners of her mouth and find a random excuse to pass the fun, "Hey, you see that the clothes in this store are good......"
Murong An accompanied Wu Qian to the mall for more than an hour, after all, Wu Qian was old, and her legs and feet were not as light as when she was young, and it didn't take long for her to be a little overwhelmed, so the two found an outdoor café and sat down.
Wu Qian looked at the young Murong An, frowning as if she had something to say, but she couldn't decide whether to say it or not.
Murong An is also a smart person, as soon as she saw Wu Qian's expression, she took a sip of juice, looked up at Wu Qian with a smile and said, "Auntie, do you have anything to say to me?" ”
Wu Qian slapped her palm and said with a smile: "Hey, Auntie just likes you to be smart," she pulled a chair to bring herself closer to Murong An, and asked in a low voice, "Auntie just wants to ask you...... You don't want to be your aunt's goddaughter, but it's because of Xiao Xiao? ”
"......" Murong An paused and lowered his head, "Auntie, what did you say." ”
"Don't lie it to me." Wu Qian said firmly, "Why does a girl live in a man's house without a name?" Not only supporting him in his career, but even helping him take care of his parents? An An, do you think Auntie is really old and confused? Wu Qian pretended to be angry.
Murong An hurriedly shook his head and explained, "No, Auntie, you misunderstood An An...... Just ......"
Looking at Murong An's hesitant appearance, Wu Qian felt a little pity, she patted Murong An's white little hand on the table, and asked in a softer voice: "Then you tell Auntie, do you really like our family Xiao Xiao?" ”
Murong An lowered his head, his fingers unconsciously pulled the broken tablecloth spread on the table, and his voice was as small as a mosquito: "Auntie...... Don't ask, I'm poor and white, I want to have no identity, I want to have no status, how can I be qualified to like Brother Xiao. ”
"Why is it not qualified? An An, Xiao Xiao told me that your original family was also very wealthy, and later it went bankrupt because of the economic turmoil. But you still completed your studies with your own efforts, and you are a top student who graduated from a first-class university, right? How is this not eligible? ”
Wu Qian paused and continued to analyze: "Don't look at what our Huo family seems to want, but Xiao Xiao and his father, we both like cultured people." We don't care if this person has money now, as long as her family is innocent and she is a respected family, even if she is down, we don't mind. It's not modest to say that our Huo family already has everything, and it's not a little bit of money. ”
"Auntie, I'm ......" Murong An's eyes were red, and a look of hesitation appeared on his face.
It's not time yet, she thought to herself. She secretly looked at Wu Qian's expression, knowing that she was being polite to her at the moment, and she had to be patient and wait a little longer before throwing a bombshell in her hand.
"Auntie, don't force me...... I'm not worthy of Brother Xiao. Murong Ah gritted his teeth, "And...... Brother Xiao, he ......"
"What's wrong with him?" Wu Qian's appetite was hung high, she really asked Murong An these words with a tentative mentality, just to see if this girl lived in the movie park without asking for anything, not even fame, with some ulterior motives. Is it because of their Huo family's money, or is there some conspiracy against their Huo group.
Wu Qian is not a three-year-old child, and she doesn't believe in the so-called giving without asking for anything.
"Brother Xiao, he ...... There is someone else I like......" Murong An finally spoke, and after she finished speaking, she covered her face with her palm and let out a slight sob.
Wu Qian raised her eyebrows instantly, this was really unexpected by her, she originally thought that Murong An was Huo Beixiao's little lover at home, but she didn't expect that there would be such a layer, she couldn't help but ask: "Yes...... Who is it? Why have you never heard Xiao Xiao mention it? ”
Murong shook his head, made a bitter face, and said again as if pouring beans like a goof: "That person's name is Xia Nuanxin." Brother Xiao has always liked her. Before you came back, she was staying with us in the Shadow Garden. But then I found out that ......"
"Found what?" Wu Qian stared at Murong An's mouth intently, her expression serious and serious. It seems that he wants to make up for all the missing love in Huo Beixiao in the past few years and those blanks as a mother.
Murong An bit his lip, and then said, "I found out that Xia Nuanxin stayed in the Shadow Garden for another purpose. Not long ago, the company's investment plan made half a year in advance was suddenly leaked, and it was confirmed that this planning table was stolen by her brother Xiao while he was unprepared. We didn't know anything about it at the time. When she handed over the schedule that day, we bumped into her, but at the time we thought she was just dating friends, so we didn't pay attention to it, and we didn't find out until later......"
"What do you say? Something so big happened, Xiao Xiao actually hid it from me and Zhengde? No, I'm going to the company! Wu Qian became excited, and wanted to stand up despite Murong An's obstruction.
But how could Murong An really let her go to Huo Beixiao like this? That's not what she meant by her.
Murong looked soft and weak, but her strength was not small, she took Wu Qian's hand and shook her head at her: "No, auntie, you can't tell Brother Xiao about this matter." ”
