About a year ago, she found out that her second brother had a marriage contract. That day, I heard that the second brother had come back from Shanghai, and she deliberately came back from the school early to see him as soon as possible.

Necheng thought that the second brother hadn't arrived yet, and when she heard that the family's car had been picked up, she thought about going to her mother's place and waiting for her to come back.

The courtyard of the main house was quiet, there was no one waiting, she didn't think much about it, she opened the curtain and was about to raise her legs and walk in when she heard her mother's voice coming: "This marriage...... It stands to reason that it is a good match. But ......"

Tao Tao raised his foot and paused, but did not make a sound and continued to listen.

"The young lady of the Chen family has been abroad for so many years, and now it is not as good as before, they all pay attention to freedom, this marriage was a joke at the beginning, who can take it seriously? Moreover, he and the Chen family have not moved for nearly twenty years. Besides, it also depends on Yuan Qian's meaning. ”

"That's what he said, but Chen Gongqing has also seen Yuan Qian a few times, and his words are full of praise. This time, we also made a point of mentioning the joke we said at the beginning. ”

"Then what do you mean ......"

Tao Tao couldn't hear what Pei Zhuoyun said, but the next words let her know that this matter was a sure thing, whether Pei Yuanqian wanted it or not, it was also an established fact.

"Equity recovery still depends on the Chen family."

Tao Tao stopped listening to the following words, she came happily and returned disappointed. After Yuan Qian arrived home, he said a few words to his parents and came to Jiangxue Xuan, and Tao Tao was not as happy as he imagined.

He bought a lot of new gadgets to amuse her, but she just said thank you to the second brother. He thought she had an unpleasant encounter with her classmates in the school and motioned to Peach, but she also shook her head, and he couldn't follow the rules.

Ji Ming and Cheng Yu also worked hard, taking out everything he bought for her and showing it to her, she looked at those sugar people, and the puppets were even more irritable.

"Second brother, I'm not a child anymore."

"Oh." It turned out that he was not satisfied, he pinched her nose and shook his head and smiled, "It's all because the second brother is not thoughtful, but ......" He took out a pocket watch from his arms again. Tao Tao glanced at it and was silent.

"Here's for you." Yuan Qian shoved it into her hand.

"Isn't the second brother reluctant to give up this baby?" She once fell in love with his pocket watch, but he didn't give it to him. That day, the two of them grabbed a mess because of the pocket watch.

He didn't give it, she said she wanted to see it, but he didn't. She was in a hurry and rushed over and pounced on him. Because the impact was so strong, he didn't stand still and fell on the bed.

She watched him fall, and the opportunity to do so came. Lying on top of him, he reached out and grabbed the watch in his hand. Seeing that the corners of her forehead were sweating and her face was slightly red because of the fierce conflict just now, he couldn't help but breathe. The tip of his nose was full of her smell, and just as he was losing his mind, she snatched the pocket watch from his hand. She couldn't stop smiling, and tried to run away from him quickly. It's just that he reacted faster, but instead he knocked her down again.

She grinned and tucked her pocket watch under her body. "I won't give it to you."

"Really, don't give it?"

"No." Tao Tao shook her head, he didn't give it, she just wanted it.

"Then you're welcome." Yuan Qian came to tickle her as he spoke, Tao Tao couldn't stop laughing, twisted his body desperately, and struggled to beg for mercy.

"Oops...... The second brother will give it to you. Leave me alone. ”

Yuan Qian took out the pocket watch from under her and put it in his pocket before letting go of her, Tao Tao fell and pouted and ignored him.

He had no choice but to get up, and he had to coax. "If you like to wait until the next time you come back from Shanghai, I'll bring you the exact same."

"No, I want this from you."

"I'm ...... Can't give it to you. The three people standing next to him secretly pinched a sweat for Yuan Qian, and Miss Tao Tao was the only way for the young master to coax it. Yuan Qian hesitated, didn't say a word, and fled in a hurry. It was the first time Tao Tao had seen his second brother so weak-hearted. But seeing that he was rare to be so out of shape and so cute, he decided to let him go.

But I didn't expect him to do what he said and really bought an identical one for her. It's just that I can't be happy now.

"I'm not rare." Tao Tao was thrown aside, and Seung-woo, who was standing, looked at Momoko as if she was asking for help, and Momoko had an expression that she didn't know what was going on.

Yuan Qian picked up the pocket watch, "Really? Then I'll give it away. Yuan Qian said and pretended to leave.

Tao Tao cried, "Send whoever you love to ......"

Yuan Qian saw that things were not good, so he turned back in a hurry,

Peaches quietly gave Chengyu a look, and the three of them quietly retreated together.

Yuan Qian walked over to Tao Tao and sat down, "Why are you crying?" If you don't like it, then the second brother will keep it for you. ”

Tao Tao was silent, but he cried even more.

"Don't cry, don't cry, what's wrong? Reprimanded by a teacher? ”

Tao Tao remained silent.

Yuan Qian was helpless, "If you don't say it, how can the second brother know?" "Actually, I don't know when Tao Tao became very sensitive.

At that moment, people outside came to report to Madame and invited the second young master and young lady to come over for dinner.

"Stop crying." He wiped away her tears, "I should be worried when my mother knows about it in a while." Anyway, every time he quarreled with Tao Tao, his mother directly blamed him without asking the reason.

"Don't you want your second brother to be scolded? The second brother hasn't eaten yet, and I'm hungry to see you. For the sake of the second brother, it's okay to go to dinner first. ”

Tao Tao was still silent, but he had stopped crying. Yuan Qian took her hand and stood up, looked up and down again, and felt that it was okay, so he took her hand and walked out together.

It's just that Tao Tao shook off his hand, and Yuan Qian had no choice but to follow her and let her go first.

Tao Tao walked extremely fast, and he had big steps, so he was not far apart. Before she reached the main room, she suddenly turned around, and just as a locust flower landed on her shoulder. ”

She stood in the sunset, pink, and her face was swollen from crying, like a peach.

"Congratulations to the second brother."

Her words without a beginning or end made him puzzled.

"What do you want to congratulate me?"

"Why didn't the second brother tell me that you were going to get married."

"What?" Yuan Qian was taken aback, how could he not know that he was about to get married.

He laughed, "Nonsense, how can the second brother not tell you if he wants to get married, and how can this be possible." "How can he get married?

"I overheard my father's conversation with my mother, and I said it was set when I was a child."

"That doesn't count." Wasn't it the Chen family when he was a child, he knew that his father and Chen Gongqing were drunk and bet, and the two families did not have any documents or tokens to settle this matter later. How can it be counted.

"You don't know, you know." Tao Tao saw him pondering, shook his head and left.

Pei Yuanqian didn't know why his parents suddenly mentioned this matter, and suddenly remembered the frequent contact between his father and Chen Gongqing in the past few days in Shanghai, he thought it was just a simple issue of equity recovery, but it seemed that it was not so simple.

The Commercial Printing Bureau has 20% of the equity in the hands of the Japanese, and in recent years, it has been restrained by the Japanese everywhere, and my father has long wanted to take back the equity, but due to Japanese technology and his own lack of ability to recycle, he has been delayed. Recently, because of the intensification of the conflict between his father and the Japanese technical consultant, he once again strengthened his determination to recycle the equity.

If this is the case, then the purpose of this marriage is self-evident. But how could he agree, there must be another way.

He looked at Tao Tao's departing back, and she couldn't help but feel sad because she was angry and dragged down the acacia flowers on the ground.

"The west wind is evil, the sunset blows the horn, and a burst of acacia flowers falls."
