Chapter 056 relatively

Xu Baiping didn't answer, and Dong Xiaokui continued to clean up the table. After a while, Xu Baiping said, "I'll wait for you downstairs." After he said this, he turned around and left, leaving no time and space for Dong Xiaokui to refuse.

"Okay." Dong Xiaokui only answered this word, then took the cups and plates to the kitchen, washed them slowly, and added a little heat to the duck soup in the pot, so that Xu Er could come back and drink the most appropriate and beneficial duck soup.

After doing all this, she cleaned her hands, took off her apron, and went downstairs along the stone steps. On the top of the stone steps, she saw several cars parked on the flat ground at the entrance of the courtyard. Looking at that formation, it should be Xu Baiping's guard, no matter how you say it, he can be regarded as the level of a person from the imperial court.

Dong Xiaokui walked to the bottom floor, hesitated, and turned off his mobile phone. Then, walk into the hall facing the lake. The room is very classical, similar to today's Japanese style, but it is more atmospheric.

Xu Baiping opened the floor-to-ceiling window, set up a desk near the lake, and made tea happily, and Uncle Chen was not around. Dong Xiaokui took off his shoes, walked over calmly, and sat down opposite him.

Xu Baiping happened to pour a cup and handed it over. But the tea is full. This tea is full of deception, not to mention the freshly brewed tea, which must be hot and easy to overflow.

Xu Baiping handed it to her like this, clearly to see if she dared to accept it, just like to see if she dared to accept it. She looked at Xu Baiping, and the hand was steady.

"Miss Dong is also from everyone's background, and it is said that she also loves tea very much." Xu Baiping said, motioning for her to take it.

"The level of the tea ceremony and the quality of cultivation have always had nothing to do with origin." Dong Xiaokui smiled at him and took it calmly, the porcelain cup was very hot. But she endured it, sniffed it gently, and then naturally put the cup of tea on the table without spilling a drop. Her face was like autumn water, she smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "This boiled tea, the heat is too hot, and it can't taste its tea fragrance; If it's cold, but the fragrance is gone, it's lost its true nature after all. In life, many things are like this. From the governance of a country to the way of life of an individual. ”

Dong Xiaokui's sentence is based on tea, implying that the Xu family has too much control over Xu Er.

Xu Baiping is mixed with officialdom, and he will react to the multiple meanings of a sentence at the first time, and of course he knows the meaning of Dong Xiaokui's words. However, this man is not only infiltrated by the Xu family, but also a person who wanders in the officialdom, his expression has not changed, he still uses a small spoon to pour it in the pot, and his words are careless, but there are sharp knives hidden everywhere. He said: "Last time I was in a hurry, I didn't discuss the tea ceremony with Miss Dong, but seeing that Miss Dong is young, she knows a lot. You must have your own plans for many things, right? ”

Dong Xiaokui also pretended not to understand, took the cup of tea lightly, took a sip, and said, "Even ants have their own plans for their own lives. Besides, I am a living person. Besides, how can people who have no goals develop? Isn't it the same as The Walking Dead? ”

"Miss Dong is philosophical in every word, and she is also a thorough and calm person, otherwise she would not have calmed down her family's affairs in three or two clicks." Xu Baiping said indifferently, but he told Dong Xiaokui clearly: Don't play any tricks, your every move, the Xu family knows.

Dong Xiaokui didn't show the slightest surprise, put the porcelain cup in his hand Shi Shiran on the table, and said casually: "Don't listen to what Zhong Lin said." It's just that everyone in the Dong family is reasonable, and they don't want to defeat the house. ”

Xu Baiping smiled slightly, calmly added tea to Dong Xiaokui, and said in a homely tone: "Miss Dong's wise person, I felt in a hurry last time, and I didn't talk about it in detail, which is a pity. ”

"Mr. Xu has an overreputation. I am just a small family knowledge, and I am very honored to be able to enter Mr. Xu's eyes. Dong Xiaokui held the teacup and looked at the lake outside the house, a few dead lotus leaves had not been cleaned up, and they showed decay.

Xu Baiping was silent for a while, only the occasional sound of a small spoon holding a pot. Then, he said: "I have always admired Miss Dong very much, but there are some things that are forced by the situation and the environment makes people suffer. We all have our own positions, and we all have our own difficulties. ”

"Thank you." Dong Xiaokui held the cup, smiled neither humbly nor arrogantly, and did not say much.

"I'm not going to beat around the bush, I said before, I'm here for you. You know what I'm here for. Xu Baiping put down the spoon and leaned against the back of the chair, looking at Dong Xiaokui.

Dong Xiaokui put down the teacup and said, "I said before that if it is Mr. Xu's family matter, I have to find a family member to solve it." I don't have any reason to interfere with other people's decisions. ”

"Miss Dong is like this, but it's a bit unreasonable." Xu Baiping whispered, his tone was calm, but his eyes were unconsciously sharp.

"Then let me ask Mr. Xu, how do you think that Zhong Lin's responsibility for anything that goes against the will of the family lies with me? Please elaborate and provide convincing evidence. Dong Xiaokui asked, her tone was suddenly majestic, her face was calm, but the whole person had an aggressive momentum.

Xu Baiping frowned slightly and said, "I didn't expect Miss Dong to be an unreasonable person." Do you not hesitate to let Zhong Lin become an unfilial person and ruin his future? ”

When Dong Xiaokui heard this, she couldn't listen to it at all. He sneered and said, "Mr. Xu, this is really a joke." Zhonglin is not a three-year-old either, he knows what he is doing. Also, what is unfilial piety? Wasn't Zhonglin's sacrifice for his family enough? The injuries on his body, you, as a big brother, won't be unclear, right? What is ruining the future? Becoming the commander of the army must be his future? Maybe that's not what he wants? ”

Dong Xiaokui was so aggressive, she was really excited. Xu Baiping was in the officialdom in the end, and he was silent in the face of Dong Xiaokui's excitement. As if the clouds were light and the wind was light, he paused for a while, put away the tea set, and turned off the fire for boiling the tea. Only then did he say slowly: "In life, many things cannot go as you want. Something has to be undertaken. We can't break free, so we call it fate. This sentence is not unfamiliar to Miss Dong, right? ”

He raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at it meaningfully. Dong Xiaokui was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I wrote this sentence, but I didn't expect Mr. Xu to know." ”

This is an article by Dong Xiaokui published in a well-known literary magazine three years ago. Xu Baiping took out everything in her article, which was not only a rebuttal, but also let her know that the Dong family had conducted an all-round investigation of her, and she did not let go of any clues. After such an investigation, the final conclusion was that it was not qualified. Otherwise, he would not have appeared here after Xu Er's divorce and talked to her directly. Actually, she really wanted to ask him: In addition to the so-called family, in your eyes, what else am I not worthy of Xu Zhonglin?

It's just that she is always calm and calm. Against others, the most taboo is to show your hole cards first and show your bottom line. That puts the other person in a good position. Therefore, generally speaking, when you don't know the absolute intention of the other party, or the other party does not make your intentions clear, you choose to say less and not say absolute words. This is not only the result of her observation of words and emotions since she was a child, but also the vague articles in the Dong family's admonitions, and her own experience to understand them.

"Miss Dong is a talented person. This is something that not only me, but also my family knows and appreciates. Xu Baiping said very indifferently, without any hypocritical expression.

This kind of praise is just a matter of listening. Dong Xiaokui was noncommittal, and she would not be the slightest excited, thinking that she had finally entered the eyes of the Xu family. She just smiled and asked lightly, "Really?" ”

"Of course." Xu Baiping was very determined, and then changed his words and said, "However, we are also very sorry. Miss Dong is not suitable. ”

"Oh? What is suitable and what is not? Dong Xiaokui met his eyes without fear. Xu Baiping lowered his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "In the matter of Zhonglin's marriage, Miss Dong is a latecomer. ”

Dong Xiaokui suddenly laughed, and Xu Baiping asked inexplicably: "What are you laughing at?" ”

Dong Xiaokui calmed down, her eyes were like frost, and her tone was cold, and she said, "I thought Mr. Xu would say a more convincing reason. ”

"Other reasons are not justifications, and if I have to come up with a reason, I'm afraid it will hurt the harmony. This one is enough. The marriage of the Ouyang family has long been set. At that time, because Ouyang Wei was studying abroad, the two parties said that they would get engaged when she returned to China, and then hold a wedding. ”

"Zhonglin didn't marry her." Dong Xiaokui stated this fact, and suddenly felt that it was not a taste in his heart. How do you feel that you are a third party who has come to rob Ouyang Wei's happiness.

However, Zhong Lin did not object. Xu Baiping stated this fact.

Dong Xiaokui was speechless for a while, she could actually guess Xu Er's state at that time. At that time, he always had the deepest apology for Chen Zixiu in his heart. The warblers and swallows around him are all symbols, and A, B, C, and D are all the same for him. The family's arrangement for him is not too bad. At that time, he was even stingy with words, how could he have any objections to the family's arrangement?

"He must not have said yes." Dong Xiaokui whispered.

Xu Baiping nodded a little reluctantly, and then said: "This marriage involves two families. ”

"It was Ouyang Wei who proposed to withdraw from the marriage." Dong Xiaokui grabbed the white and didn't give Xu Baiping a chance to continue.

Xu Baiping paused, stared at Dong Xiaokui, and asked: "From a woman's point of view, your husband is Xu Zhonglin, do you think you will take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage?" ”

"It is said that Ouyang Wei is also a talented person, so she naturally has her own vision." Dong Xiaokui said, but in her heart, she thought that maybe it was not Ouyang Wei who proposed to withdraw from the marriage at all, at least it can be seen from VIVIAN's letter.

"Zhong Lin only told you that it was Ouyang Wei who proposed to withdraw from the marriage, but he didn't tell you why Ouyang Wei proposed to withdraw from the marriage, right?" Xu Baiping asked.

Dong Xiaokui nodded lightly, wanting to ask what was going on, but finally felt that it shouldn't be, so he sat on the chair and waited for the next step in silence.

But Xu Baiping paused, and then said almost to himself: "I never knew that Zhonglin would do this. ”......
