Chapter 46: Turning Point
"Tao Tao, didn't you say it at the beginning, but you want to marry me." Zhao Kangping said to her very seriously.
"I didn't say yes......"
...... "But you said that marriage can't be the master, and you need the consent of the family, although your second brother didn't make it clear at the time, but he said to obey you." So I want to ask you, are you still willing to marry me? ”
Zhao Kangping is not what it used to be, the prince of the Zhao family, the person who wants to marry him, I'm afraid she has squeezed her head, what is she? can still beg her like this now, which shows that she has given enough face. Maybe she should be grateful.
However, Tao Tao was not moved at all. No matter what, she has to advance and retreat with the Pei family.
"Tao Tao ...... Do you know your second brother's situation? Maybe you should really go to the place where he works, you know that now your second sister-in-law's family is standing by, do you think he still has a way out? This is what Meng Ruihua said to Zhao Kangping when Tao Tao came to see her.
She understood what she meant, so she came to see Zhao Kangping, but there was always a voice in her heart telling her that no, she seemed to be disassembled, divided into two halves, half for her to agree, and half for her to refuse. She was torn between a rock and a hard bet......
"Zhao Kangping, you know, I can't promise you now, this time tomorrow, I'll come to you again......"
"Okay, I hope that at that time, it will be the answer I want, Tao Tao, for you, I am willing to wait for ......" This is the reassurance he gave.
After Zhao Kangping left, Tao Tao tossed and turned, quietly went out of the house, put on clothes and came to the dormitory, at this time the night was already deep, the silent courtyard could only hear the crickets, she sighed, the Pei family is in trouble, how can she stand by and watch, the home that gave her warmth, although she is not a biological parent, but the nurturing love is greater than God, how can she be alone?
"Tao Tao?"
As soon as she came back to her senses, Meng Ruihua walked out, "What's wrong with you, you can't sleep?" ”
"Hmm...... It's too hot...... What about you? Upset? ”
"I promised Zhao Kangping the answer he would give him tomorrow."
"Tao Tao ......" In fact, Meng Ruihua can see that Tao Tao doesn't like Zhao Kangping very much, otherwise she wouldn't be so hesitant, but I don't know if it's because of the relationship between the Pei family or because she has someone she likes in her heart.
But if she said that her heart belonged, she couldn't see which male classmate she was interested in. The opposite sex who has the most contact with her is Pei Yuanqian.
Meng Ruihua's head buzzed, it seemed that there was some thought in a flash, no, how could it? They are obviously brother and sister, it is impossible......
"Tao Tao, what are you going to do?" Ruihua asked tentatively.
"I don't know...... Tao Tao hugged his knees and looked at the stars in the sky, she was homesick at this time, if they were there, would they also support her idea?
The next day, Tao Tao took a leave of absence. deliberately made an appointment with Yuan Qian, in fact, she originally intended to go directly to Mingsheng, but he told not to let her run around, so, in order to respect him, she called in advance.
It was Cheng Yu who answered the phone, she said that she was looking for Yuan Qian, Cheng Yu paused, Yuan Qian seemed to be beside him, she listened to him and said, "Second young master, Miss's call." ”
"Ask her if she's in a hurry? If it's okay, I'll call later. ”
"I want to go to Mingsheng to see it." Tao Tao knew that Chengyu would definitely convey it.
"Young Master, Miss...... The young lady said she wanted to come and see you......"
Yuan Qian walked over and picked up the phone directly, "Wait at school, I'll look for you at night." ”
"Second brother...... I have something to do and want to talk to you face to face. ”
"Now?"
"Yes......"
"Okay, then I'll let Chengyu pick you up."
Tao Tao agreed and hung up the phone. Waiting at the school gate, Chengyu arrived very quickly, Tao Tao asked him about Yuanqian's current situation as soon as he got in the car, but Chengyu said, "It's good." Then he didn't say anything, and Tao Tao knew that he must have been ordered when he came. Knowing that she couldn't ask anything, she didn't ask.
Chengyu parked the car in a café near Yongan Department Store, which was still a private room on the second floor, and when she pushed the door in, Yuan Qian was standing with his back to her.
He only turned around when he heard her call "Second brother......". He looked her up and down again before letting her sit down.
I haven't seen him for a long time, he is a little darker, and he is thinner, and he has a little sharpness. The others were fine, not as depressed or emaciated as they had imagined. I don't know if he deliberately covered it up.
"What's the matter, so urgent? I have to say it today. Yuan Qian put a sugar cube on the coffee in front of him, and then pushed it to Tao Tao.
"Second brother...... Zhao Kangping came to me......" Yuan Qian's hand holding the coffee shook slightly, and he blew again...... There was no rush to drink, and then put it down.
"What? Have you forgotten how your father died? He roared excitedly.
This voice surprised Tao Tao, "I haven't forgotten...... He said that this was a malicious framing by someone else, and he could guarantee that this matter was not his father. ”
“…… There are all human and material evidence, how do you make us believe it? ”
"Second brother...... I don't know if you are carried away by hatred, there are obviously many doubts in this matter, but you insist that it is the Zhao family, which is very different from your style. ”
"And what do you think?" Yuan Qian looked at Tao Tao and questioned her.
"I don't know...... My father took me back to Pei's house and raised me, I am her daughter, and I will never forget this hatred. But...... I ......"
"You're determined to marry Zhao Kangping, right?" Yuan Qian looked directly at her.
Tao Tao did not dodge, and his "yes ......" attitude was firm. "Isn't this also what the second brother once said, if one day I have someone I like, you will call the shots for me."
"So Zhao Kangping is the person you like?"
"Yes...... Please also ask the second brother to complete. He was right in front of her at the moment, and she was going to say something against her will in front of her. The pain in my heart is indescribable......
"Anyone can ...... He can't. Yuan Qian was also resolute and refused to retreat.
"If so...... What do I insist on? Tao Tao had tears in his eyes and forced himself to go back.
"If you want to marry him...... That ......" Yuan Qian paused, and the hand under the table was already clenched into a fist. "The Pei family should have never raised you......"
Tao Tao's tears of pain fell, "This thing...... What you say doesn't count, you have to call the ......."
"Luo Taotao......" Yuan Qian roared angrily. I'm talking about it......"
“…… I came today to inform you, anyway, if you agree or not, I will marry Zhao Kangping. ”
Tao Tao said and rushed out, because she was not sure that the next moment, she would say something hurtful.
There was still a hint of happiness in her heart, and she was glad that he blocked it, although it was because of her father's hatred......
She was also sad, because he said that he wanted to cut off relations with her, and he said that he would treat her as if the Pei family had never raised her, which was tantamount to a stab in her heart.
This is the result of her touching his bottom line, she always thought that he was good-tempered, although he would quarrel and get angry, but in the end he took the initiative to admit defeat. This time, she knew that he would never come to coax her again......
After Tao Tao rushed out, Cheng Yu heard the sound of glass breaking in the house, and after he rushed in, Yuan Qian stood there with an angry face, and his hands were still dripping with blood. He wanted to bandage him in distress, but was stopped by Yuan Qian waving his hand.
Tao Tao herself doesn't know how she went back to school, whether Yuan Qian misunderstands or hates him, she doesn't regret it, as long as she can help him and help the Pei family revive the family business, she doesn't care...... Anyway, Zhao Kangping is not bad, and he is sincere to her, which is many times better than the unattainable love she guards......
When Meng Ruihua came to her, Tao Tao was lying on the bed crying bitterly, she heard the crying, and did not come in to comfort, it rained heavily outside the window, this rain brought coolness to this hot summer, and also swept away the irritability in her heart......
Zhao Kangping came to the appointment on time, Tao Tao came to see her with a red and swollen face, and when he saw her like this, he couldn't help but feel distressed, "What's wrong, did you suffer any grievances?" ”
Tao Tao's nose was sour, the second brother asked her first before, "No...... I heard a story from my classmates last night, and it was very moving......"
"I don't know what kind of good story it is that moved you like this, and I have the opportunity to tell it."
Tao Tao pulled out a smile, "Good ......"
Zhao Kangping accompanied Tao Tao for a walk by the lake, the willow tree was hanging low, he reached out and helped the willow branch so as not to scratch her, "Tao Tao, in a few days, my father asked me to go back to Fengtian, I want you to go back with me......"
Tao Tao tucked the hair on his sideburns, "Good ......"
"You promised? It's true? …… I'm not dreaming, am I? ......" Zhao Kangping's excited words were not good.
Looking at his heartfelt excitement, Tao Tao shook his head, it turned out that he also had a cute side...... She smiled at him.
Or is that the difference between loving and being loved...... It's nice to have a personal love, isn't it......
Yuan Qian came out of the small wine pipe, it was already dark, he drank a little too much, Chengyu didn't dare to persuade him, so he could only follow and helped him into the car.
Tao Tao came to him today and said those things to him, he just didn't ask why she wanted to marry Zhao Kangping at this time, he was afraid, afraid that she would say that she liked him, and even more afraid that she would say that it was for the Pei family and for him.
For Yongqian's sake before, he had already done something sorry for her once, and at that time, he was uneasy, and he felt guilty when he saw her. Can't even face her clear eyes.
Now, how could he abandon her again because of the Pei family? So this time he made a decision.
He wanted to solve her worries...... Can't let the Pei family drag her back.
"Where is this going?" Yuan Qian squinted his eyes and looked out the window and asked Seung-woo.
Then he continued: "Go back to Pei's mansion."
Seungwoo helped him out of the car, he pushed him away, and staggered into the house by himself.
Mother Li and Peach heard the sound and came to wait, seeing his appearance, Peach wanted to step forward to help, but was pushed into the kitchen by Mother Li.
The two of them watched him quietly, went to the wine cabinet and took a bottle of whiskey back to the room.
Momoko asked Li's mother, "Don't you care about this?" ”
Mother Li shook her head, "The young master understands in his heart, let's just prepare hangover soup." ”
Momoko said to herself, "Look, I've been wronged by Miss again." ”
Mother Li shouted again, and Peaches agreed and followed. sighed in his heart, as soon as these two masters had a conflict, they suffered from these subordinates......
But the most bitter thing is the second young master, because in the end, it is he who will not be compensated......
