Chapter 33: The Past
Shen Mi was startled when he heard this, and he pulled Xi Lie and wanted to leave.
Xi Lie slowly grabbed her, and motioned for her to sit down.
"I saw your brother-in-law, she is not a person who dares to die, eat."
"But......" Shen Mi wanted to say something, but he was gagged by a piece of meat.
Lu Yue's faint sigh came from the opposite side.
"The sour smell of love, I don't know, what am I here for!"
Shen Mi didn't know the taste of the food she ate at a meal, but fortunately, the mouse sent her a message, saying that Fang Xue was fine, but she fainted in a hurry just now, and she was relieved.
"General Xi, after this meal, I want to borrow Xiao Mi to have a drink!" Lu Yue looked at Shen Mi with a smile, not knowing what kind of moth was going on.
Feeling someone's scrutiny of the eye, Shen Mi shook his head helplessly and explained, "I really don't go often!" ”
"If you want to go, go." Xi Lie said quietly, picked up the water glass, and took a sip.
"I have to go back to see my grandmother, if I don't go, I won't go, next time!" Shen Mi won't be stupid to that extent, digging his own grave or something, it's impossible!
"Okay, okay, I'll just say it casually!" Lu Yue shook her head and glanced at her teasingly, so the three of them dispersed and went back to their respective homes.
"Will my grandmother be more angry when she sees me?" In the car, Shen Mi muttered nervously.
"Don't worry, I'm here." Xi Lie drove the car, stroked her head with his free right hand, and comforted her in a deep voice.
After a while, in Shen Mi's apprehension, the car drove into the courtyard of Xi's house, and Shen Mi saw that the second floor was brightly lit, and it seemed that everyone had not slept yet.
"Is my daughter-in-law back?" Chen Man greeted him and said with a smile, "Grandma has been waiting for you!" ”
Shen Mi was a little frightened.
"Mom, grandma, she ......" She opened her mouth, but stopped talking, Xi Lie patted her shoulder and motioned for her to go upstairs.
Lin Meijuan's door was wide open, Xi Chongjin and Xi Yingjie were sitting silently on the edge of the bed, Lin Meijuan seemed to be awake, but none of the three spoke.
"Grandma, we're back." Xi Lie was the first to speak, breaking the silence.
Xi Chongjin glanced back at Shen Mi, swallowed the reproachful words when they came to his lips, had to sigh and stand up, and left the room without saying a word.
"I asked you to pick up your daughter-in-law, why did you go for so long? Grandma has been waiting, you ......" Xi Yingjie also glanced at Xi Lie with some displeasure, and then stood up and left the room.
Shen Mi glanced at Lin Meijuan, who had a gloomy face, from a distance, and hid behind Xi Lie's broad back and didn't dare to step forward.
"Daughter-in-law Sun, come here." Lin Meijuan ordered tremblingly.
Shen Mi's heart trembled, "Grandma, you, don't be angry, I'll come!" ”
"Come here!" Lin Meijuan was noncommittal, but increased the volume, Shen Mi couldn't, so she could only slowly paced from behind Xi Lie to the side of the bed, glanced at her flat stomach, and couldn't wait to turn her back to Lin Meijuan.
Lin Meijuan's face was still gray, her lips were a little blue, and her eyes were staring straight at Shen Mi's stomach, silent and did not speak.
This, isn't this the calm before the storm?
"Grandma......" she called out in a panic, covering her stomach with her hands very uncomfortably, and secretly looking at Lin Meijuan's face.
Lin Meijuan sighed, "Great-grandson, is there no one?" ”
Shen Mi pulled the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, and glanced at Xi Lie, he originally said that he was there, but at this moment he just looked at her and motioned for her to speak.
Still talking, saying everything is a suicide attack, okay?
"Grandma...... I, I'll ask Xi Lie to try to see ......" She snorted, wringing her fingers uneasily, for fear that if she said something wrong, Lin Meijuan would be angry again.
"Grandma, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for that day......" Lin Meijuan didn't get angry, but there was a bit of loss and sadness in her tone, and Shen Mi felt guilty when she heard it.
"Lie'er, you go out first." Lin Meijuan waved her hand at Xi Lie, Shen Mi didn't know what she was going to do, and she was flustered in her heart.
Xi Lie nodded, glanced at her with some anxiety, and then left without saying a word, and for a while only the mother-in-law and grandson were left in the room, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
"Daughter-in-law." Lin Meijuan spoke slowly.
"Here, here!"
"Don't be afraid, when you go to the ghost gate, you let go of these obsessions." Lin Meijuan sighed and shook her head slowly.
Shen Mi pondered the meaning of her words, in this way, did she forgive her?
"As the daughter-in-law of the Xi family, you will have to be sensible in the future, distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and have more eyes."
She was a little confused, not knowing what the old lady suddenly said, but she still nodded ignorantly and agreed.
"It's because I have too high expectations for this great-grandson, and I'm almost angry, and I heard what Zhang's mother said scared you enough." Lin Meijuan said, stretching out her thin hand at her, she was stunned, and stepped forward to hold it quickly.
"Granddaughter-in-law......"
"Grandma, you say." She sat down on the edge of the bed and answered obediently.
"Catch Ming'er, you and Lie'er go out to live! There are many inconveniences in this old house......"
Shen Mi looked sluggish, yesterday the grumpy Xi also threatened her father-in-law and mother-in-law by moving out to live, why is she, was she swept out of the house by the old lady?
"Grandma, are you still angry with me? Otherwise, why are you driving me away? She blinked, worried.
"Lie'er is back to the army this time, you can go around with it, so that people can see what Lie'er's wife looks like." Lin Meijuan's tone was very light, and a pair of cloudy eyes looked at her again, "My granddaughter-in-law is still good-looking." ”
But I ...... "I don't want to go!"
Facing Xi Lie, a straight man of steel, she feels powerless to parry, if a straight man in the army is like Chen Ming every day, her sister-in-law is long and her sister-in-law is short, she will probably go crazy.
"Listen to grandma, it's not right for newlyweds to be separated." Lin Meijuan seemed to be determined to let her leave the Xi family, although she was thinking about the two of them between the lines, Shen Mi always had a feeling that she was being kicked out, and she felt very uncomfortable.
"Grandma, you're really not angry?" She asked, suspiciously.
"You two, work hard, it's ......good for me to hear good news in my lifetime."
Sure enough, it's still a great-grandson......
When this family speaks, they are all rising, inheriting, turning, and great-grandchildren.
"Daughter-in-law Sun obeys orders......" Shen Mi laughed dryly twice and happily agreed.
Not for anything else, old lady, she can't afford to offend!
Seeing that she agreed happily, Lin Meijuan nodded with satisfaction, and then seemed to be sleepy, struggled to lie down, and waved her hand at Shen Mi.
Shen Mi got the order and retreated stupidly.
Chen Man was standing at the door with a bowl of steaming decoction, and when he saw her come out, he said softly: "Daughter-in-law, drink this tonic and go to sleep!" ”
"Tonic, tonic?" Her expression froze, "Mom, I can't make it up anymore, I'm so fat that I can't see anyone......"
Chen Man didn't answer, just looked at her with a smile, as if if if she didn't drink this, she would always be in a stalemate with her.
Unable to resist this gentle mother-in-law, she had no choice but to pick up the brown decoction, frowning and drinking it in a few gulps, the bitter taste filled her mouth, making her couldn't help but wrinkle her face.
Chen Man nodded in satisfaction and went downstairs.
Back in the room, Xi Lie was looking at his mobile phone on the sofa, Shen Mi leaned over and glanced at it, and found that it was densely packed with small characters, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
"Shouldn't you make up for this kind of thing? Why am I the one who drinks the tonic? Shen Mi blinked consciously and muttered weakly.
Xi Lie put away his phone and nodded with satisfaction, "I've already drunk it, they said it was a perfect tonic soup, anyway, there was nothing to do tomorrow, so we should get up later." ”
“...... So straightforward? Shen Mi couldn't laugh or cry.
"I just searched for the correct way to open the mandarin duck bath, do you want me to release the water?" Xi Lie said as he stood up and slowly paced to the bathroom.
"You should learn how to be temperate!" Shen Mi rolled her eyes and sighed helplessly.
In the end, Xi didn't resist her various objections, but just smiled, "You wash first." ”
When Shen Mi came out of the shower, he felt that his whole body was hot, and Xi Lie was still sitting on the sofa reading some books and periodicals that were not suitable for children.
Glancing at her wet hair and flushed face, he suddenly remembered something and sat down in front of the dresser, scrubbing her hair with a towel.
"Your hair really falls out a lot, I heard that it will fall even more after giving birth......"
Shen Mi rolled his eyes, knowing that he wanted to spit out ivory in his mouth again, last time he said that she would be bald after the age of forty, and he didn't know what to say today that made her want to beat him.
"Getting to the point!" There was a menacing tone in her tone.
"I'm just wondering if you're ...... before you are forty years old."
"No more!" Shen Mi jumped up, kicked his sturdy calf with his bare feet, and then climbed onto the bed in indignation.
Xi Lie walked into the bathroom with a smile, and after a while, there was the sound of rushing water.
Shen Mi's mobile phone vibrated for a moment, it was an unfamiliar message, it seemed to be sent by the editor-in-chief of the cultural company when he was sleeping in a daze today.
To the effect that he still called her to meet and talk, and marked a specific time for her.
She was hesitating what to do, Xi Lie was already a hungry wolf pounced on her, flew on her, and then couldn't help but take her phone and put it aside.
Grabbing his dishonest hand, she sighed helplessly.
"Let me tell you, I'm in a safe period of science now, so what we're doing now is useless, you better save your energy!"
For such a man with super good physique, she is really a little unbearable, and she made an appointment once a week, but he ignored it without saying a word.
Xi Lie frowned, and a pair of deep eyes burned with the flame of desire.
"Practice makes perfect......," he said in a hoarse voice, tearing off his bathrobe with a wave of his hand.
In this kind of matter, Shen Mi has always had to be slaughtered by others with grief and anger.
So she was knocked down for the third time in a week......
A beautiful room.
People seem to have amazing instincts in this regard, and a studious baby like Xi Lie seems to have mastered some secret method, which makes Shen Mi rush up to the sky in a wail, and then slowly fall, ups and downs, unable to say anything to refuse.
Two hours later, Shen Mi finally couldn't control his desolate power, and kicked on someone's soft underbelly who was still not satisfied, he was caught off guard and fell out of bed with a thud.
She finally won this war.
Xi Lie was finally honest, lying next to her obediently, rubbing her half-dried hair with his big hands.
Shen Mi thought about it, and finally couldn't help but turn over, leaning on his chest, staring at him with a pair of burning eyes.
Xi Lie was naturally mistaken and was punched in the chest by her.
"I have something for you!" She straightened her face and looked serious.
Xi Lie looked at her fair skin and petite body, where could he refuse this kind of torture, he could only nod silently and motioned for her to continue asking.
"Director Yang came to you, what did you say?" She took a deep breath and finally mustered up her courage, "Yes...... Did I tell you about me three years ago? ”
Xi Lie's eyes were slightly dull, and he couldn't see any expression, a pair of eyes stared at her quietly, and there was no emotion.
"yes, you know everything, right?" Seeing this, Shen Mi's heart fell to the bottom, and he got up from him stupidly, but he grabbed him back.
"Of course I trust you more than a stranger with a criminal record." Xi Lie held her face and said seriously.
Shen Mi blinked, hesitating and tangled in his heart.
"Well, I don't want to hide anything." She thought for a moment and sat up solemnly.
"Three years ago, I was a small clerk who had just stepped into the society, Yang Haiyang was my supervisor at that time, and not long after I joined the company, I lost contact with him, Josie Zhe."
"Once at a company dinner, I drank a few more drinks because I was in a bad mood, and then Yang supervised him ......," Shen Mi said, suddenly feeling Xi Lie grabbing her hand tightly, and then he interrupted it.
"Okay, you are my wife, I believe in you unconditionally." As he spoke, he sighed faintly, "To be honest, I am very angry that he dared to come to me and open his mouth. ”
"However, I hope you can be my wife, the daughter-in-law of the Xi family, and be happy for the rest of your life."
Shen Mi was a little stunned when he heard this, and suddenly his nose was sore, and his eyes were hot.
God knows how desperate it was when her colleagues pushed open the box door that night and saw that Director Yang intending to scare her, she quit her job and stayed at home for three years, all because she couldn't get over that hurdle.
However, this man, in his words, believed her.
She lowered her head, feeling that the grievances of so many years had suddenly disappeared, not only because she dared to speak out of this secret, but also because he was unswervingly on his side!
"Sleep!" Xi Lie dragged her into his arms and said in a deep voice.
Shen Mi lay on his chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat, and suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, grandma told us to move out and asked me to ...... Follow you back to the military district! ”
Xi Lie glanced at her, "Why?" ”
"Grandma didn't say anything, it seemed like she was telling me to show my face or something...... I wanted to refuse but didn't dare. Shen Mi held his mouth and beeped quietly.
"Then go." Xi Lie nodded, "Although grandma is old, her heart is like a mirror. She must have her reason for calling you to go. ”
Shen Mi thought about it, too, maybe Lin Meijuan wanted her to hurry up and race against time to create a great-grandson......
"Then how many days do you have left for your marriage leave?"
"It's coming, we have to go back in three days."
Does that mean she has to go to the barracks to experience life in three days?
The fear of being dominated by that militarized training in college was still vivid, and she sighed, her heart sinking a little.
I didn't sleep well all night, and in my dream I seemed to have returned to my college days, and I was asked to train over and over again by the cold-faced instructor, and my face was tanned, and I didn't dare to move......
Xi Lie got up very early, and when she woke up slowly, he had already returned from going out to exercise.
She quickly got up and cleaned up, and then came to the door of Lin Meijuan's room to peek, the family doctor was doing a small examination on her, and she looked much better.
A little heart finally let go.
As soon as he turned his head, he ran into Xi Yu, who was dressed up and going to work.
It's been a long time since they last saw each other at the bar, and they haven't spoken much since they looked up.
"Uncle, go to work?" She laughed dryly and beckoned to Xi Yu.
Xi Yu's eyebrows are very similar to Xi Lie, but his skin and eyes are much more delicate than Xi Lie's rough man, and compared to his burly and tall, Xi Yu has the temperament of a noble son.
Xi Yu smiled at her and nodded.
After taking a few steps, he fell back without a trace and called softly, "Sister-in-law." ”
"Huh?" Shen Mi replied subconsciously, not knowing what happened to him suddenly.
Xi Yu's eyes flashed, "Forget it, it's okay." ”
With that, he turned his head and left.
Shen Mi was a little confused, and he didn't know what he meant, so he just gave up.
After the family had breakfast, Chen Man affectionately pulled her to go shopping in the city, and she had to follow obediently.
"I heard Lie'er say that you are going to live in the army for a while, it's okay." Chen Man said, and took her to the mall to buy all kinds of daily necessities, Shen Mi wanted to shirk and say no, but thinking that it was also from the gentle mother-in-law's heart, so he gave up.
The two walked around for a long time, and Chen Man told her to take a break, so she sat on the bench next to her and watched the crowd of people come and go listlessly.
"I'm hungry." A clear voice drilled into her ears.
Shen Mi turned around and caught a glimpse of Liu Chenyi in a formal suit, followed by a girl with long hair fluttering, with a gentle appearance and a little cute and playful.
Today's Liu Chenyi is completely different from before, every time I come to see her, she looks raunchy and frizzy, but I didn't expect to wear formal clothes, and she has the style of a wealthy son.
It's just that now, it's not the time for her to appreciate his changes at all, she has to take a detour!
Thinking about it, she hung her head, covered most of her face with her long hair, and secretly looked at the girl through the gap in her hair.
She has a good face and a slender figure, but she has a natural beauty without powder, which is quite in line with Liu Chenyi's aesthetics.
It's just, what's going on with this inexplicably familiar?
"I'm hungry all day long, go eat." Liu Chenyi sighed helplessly, and led her to step on the escalator on the side.
Shen Mi finally dared to raise his head to look at them, and when he saw the girl's slender back and long hair shawl, his brain exploded.
This, isn't this the female companion of Xi Yu I saw in the bar last time?
She also helped take her to the bathroom!
It seems that Xi Yu is a very important person, but what is the situation in front of him?
Sure enough, in this interpersonal society, she can't understand it very well, and she can't understand it...... I saw Xi Yu refreshed in the morning, and now I saw his female companion holding someone else's hand, this world is also very unbelievable and impetuous.
"Daughter-in-law, come and see the couple outfit I chose for you and Lie'er." As if he had discovered a new world, Chen Man interrupted her thoughts, took her arm and pulled her into the store.
Shen Mi smiled dryly, "Mom, there should be ...... in Xi Lie's army You can't wear it, right? ”
Chen Man blinked when he heard this, "Then, then he must have a time to rest, for example, at night?" ”
Shen Mi couldn't laugh or cry, "Mom, I think it's true that you and Dad can wear it, this color is good!" She said, pointing to a set of pink pajamas and winking at Chen Man.
Chen Man turned his head and smiled slightly, "Your father's size and temper, it's no wonder that he can't lose his temper!" ”
Shen Mi also didn't expect this gentle and virtuous mother-in-law to have this side, she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth, and at the same time felt that it was very funny.
In the end, at Chen Man's insistence, she still gave the black couple outfit to Shen Mi, and by the way, she also bought the pink pajamas that Shen Mi forcibly pushed.
The two of them walked back.
On the way, Chen Man's mobile phone rang suddenly, she picked it up, and hung up softly in a few words.
"Lao Chen, hurry up, there seems to be a guest at home." She commanded, then took out a small mirror from her bag, tidied up her makeup, and only sat on the chair after confirming that it was correct.
Temperament is innate, and she can't learn it.
The driver ran smoothly all the way, and soon came to the door of Xi's house.
Shen Mi saw an expensive looking business car parked in the open space on the side, thinking that it was probably Xi Yingjie's business partner or something.
Chen Man ordered the driver to take everything back to the house, and then pulled Shen Mi into the living room slowly.
She glanced at it, the family was very together, and even Xi Chongjin was sitting in a precarious position, with a very solemn expression.
The guest turned his back to her, and she could only see that the other party's hair was meticulously cut, the back of the head looked good, a slender neck, and a casual white shirt......
Looks like a young man.
Xi Lie was sitting on his side, his expression was obscure, and he seemed to be a little displeased, and when he saw Shen Mi coming back, he stood up leisurely, strode over, and took her into his arms without saying a word.
"I won't mix with you when you see guests......" she muttered quietly, turning to leave, but Xi Lie's men forced, and she was stunned to clamp her into her arms.
"It doesn't hurt if you see it." He whispered, leading her in the direction of the guest, but she couldn't resist him, so she had to straighten her unkempt hair, and with a smile on her face, she followed slowly.
"Hello." The person on the sofa stood up leisurely, but the sound of greeting made Shen Mi breathe!
Liu Chenyisen's cold eyes were staring at her with burning eyes!
peace of mind says:
I'm sorry everyone, Anxin has encountered life fluctuations in the past two days, and yesterday's manuscript was not very satisfied, because of the mood, maybe you are not very satisfied with it.
Yesterday I was paralyzed at home for a day, without energy, and adjusted all night before I decided to start writing a new chapter.
I don't want to bring negative energy to everyone, and I don't want to bring it to the text.
It's too late, forgive me.
