Chapter 567: The Heart Belongs
Chu Li was stunned, marry him? On this occasion, a girl who is so easily shy actually asked him as if she was asking for advice, which is really surprising.
Of course, Chu Li knew that Tang Xiaoyue had liked him for so many years, but he thought that it was because she was still young and had not seen other men. So after she studied abroad, there weren't so many valley years.
But why did she puncture this window today? It was after Pei Lao tried to introduce him to Pei Muyu just now.
"Did you have a problem?" Chu Li's voice became very soft, and it was not so cold. If it weren't for the urgency of the matter, such a gentle girl would never make such a request, her temperament was too reserved, her cheeks were red and dripping blood, how much courage did she need to accumulate to dare to make such a request.
"Didn't Grandpa Pei introduce her to Pei Muyu? How...... How could he like Chu Li, so what should Pei Muyu do if that's the case? Gu Xizi, who heard all this, was also a little dazed.
Gu Yang didn't seem to care, and made a "shhhh ”
He squinted his eyes and looked at the two people not far away, it was rare to see Chu Li's tender appearance, hehe, he caught it, didn't he say that he wouldn't like any woman?
Tang Xiaoyue's brown eyes were covered with a layer of moisture, but she held back, and her beautiful face showed perseverance: "Actually, the Tang family's business has not been good recently, so my father wants me to marry the third young master of the Pei family, I don't want to ......"
It turns out that it's not what you want me to do.
Chu Li sighed, he didn't know what to say at this time, after all, he also involved his friends. Originally, there were countless marriages of interest between the upper class, and the news of Tang's business problems had not yet reached his ears, so he could not jump to conclusions.
But the attitude of the woman in front of him is still very appreciative, as if he is the only straw.
"Sanotsuki, I can't help you." Chu Li said lightly, without any tactfulness, and directly refused.
Tang Xiaoyue didn't seem to expect him to refuse so mercilessly, she was very embarrassed, she bit her lip sadly, and held back the tears welling up in her eyes, "Why?" Brother Chu Li, is it because the Tang clan is not as good as before now, and I am just a down-and-out daughter? ”
Chu Li replied without hesitation: "No! ”
He is also not like a person who links his marriage to business interests, so how can he advise himself on the future half of his family situation?
Tang Xiaoyue had hope in her heart again, and asked eagerly, "Why is that?" You tell me, is there something wrong with me? I'll change. ”
"No, you're fine, you don't need to change it." Chu Li's affection became a little serious: "You are beautiful, generous, empathetic, knowledgeable, strong, rigid and soft, you are a rare good girl, you should not be burdened if something goes wrong with the Tang family, but I don't know the specific things yet, wait for me to go back and ask clearly, I will definitely help if I can." ”
Tang Xiaoyue's tears slid down, and she couldn't hide her sadness and asked, "I don't want you to help the Tang family, I want to know, why can't you be with me?" ”
"Shinotsuki, I don't love you." Chu Li said: "You know, I have always regarded you as my sister for so many years, if I have feelings, maybe we have been together for a long time, why wait until now, I don't want to be together because of reluctance, so we will be very miserable for each other." ”
It was rare for Chu Li to say so many words at one time, and every sentence hit the nail on the head.
Tang Xiaoyue was disappointed, and her heart was extremely painful: "I really don't want to marry Pei Muyu, if I marry him, I have to watch my husband look for a woman outside every day, can you bear to watch me live like that?" ”
"This ......" Chu Li was very embarrassed, and his brows were furrowed: "Actually, Pei Muyu is not what he sees on the surface...... And he'......"
Chu Li, who was originally righteous and righteous, didn't know what to say at the moment, could he directly tell the desperate person in front of him, even if you are willing to marry, Pei Muyu may not be willing to marry?
"But......" Tang Xiaoyue's eyes were full of resentment and pleading, tears flowed down, she wanted to marry him, she wanted to marry Chu Li, even if she maintained a relationship on the surface, she was willing, as long as she let her stay by his side like this for the rest of her life, talk to him and chat with him when she was free, she would be satisfied.
Is he unwilling to fulfill such a simple little wish?
"You don't have to be sad first, I will definitely find a way to help you solve Tang's problem." Chu Li, who has never fought unprepared battles, actually took the initiative to promise to help the Tang Group this time, which shows that he was really forced to have no way.
Hearing him say this, Tang Xiaoyue put away her sadness and suddenly asked, "Brother Chu Li, do you have someone you like?" ”
"How can you ask that?" Chu Li's voice was much quieter, and he seemed to have guessed what was on his mind.
"How can you be so stubborn if you don't have someone you like?" Tang Xiaoyue insisted on asking: "After that woman died, your heart was already dead, so for you, marrying anyone is the same, but now you reject me like this, isn't it because of ......?"
"Shinotsuki, if you marry me, you won't be happy, why bother?" Chu Li's voice was a little stiff, and he directly interrupted her words.
"I just want to ask, do you have someone in your heart?"
Chu Li was silent.
Tang Xiaoyue didn't seem to get an answer, she swore not to give up, her eyes fell on Chu Li very persistently, he looked at her with a sad expression, and looked at her with some expectation, she was afraid that he really fell in love with someone else, and hoped that he would not fall in love with someone else.
She couldn't tell everything about that kind of complicated thoughts, but that look in her eyes had said everything.
How much she likes him, since she was a child, the two of them played together, she met Chu Li, Chu Li was silent and quiet at that time, but he was very personable and considerate, every time Tang Xiaoyue was in trouble, he liked to go to him, and he would take the trouble to help himself.
Tang Xiaoyue approached him, the closer she got closer, the more she was fascinated by his personality charm, over the years, her heart fell on him, looking back at him, hoping that he would be pitied, hoping that she could tie the knot with him when she grew up.
Later, Chu Li became the president of Chu's Group, and he still maintained his gentle and elegant temperament in the shopping mall, standing out among many young talents, which made many people admire, of course, including Tang Xiaoyue, who has not changed since childhood.
Of course, Tang Xiaoyue's parents also supported it, but it is a pity that after the Chu Group grew day by day, the contacts between the two of them gradually decreased, and later, due to different industries, the Tang family gradually became closer to the Pei family. And her parents are now inclined to marry her to the Tang family, so the current situation has been created.
After so many years of emotion, she was unwilling.
"Chu Li, yes or no, are you hard to say to me?" Tang Xiaoyue saw that he was silent for a long time, and the expectation in his eyes gradually turned into sadness, and the warm man in the past seemed to be drifting away.
The long silence seems to mean that Chu Li has acquiesced, she understands in her heart, but she asks for a verbal understanding, she may want to make her heart hurt more, her heart is dead, and it doesn't matter what she does.
"Xiaoyue, you are smart and clever, can't you see it?" Chu Li finally didn't evade this time: "I can help the Tang Clan, but I really can't marry you." ”
Tang Xiaoyue smiled bitterly, she is not the kind of woman who can easily call out her sincerity, once she falls in love, she will definitely miss and cherish her for the rest of her life, and a man like Chu Li, who is one in a thousand, and how many people can force her, how can she find someone more exciting than him.
"So, can't you tell me who she is?" Tang Xiaoyue asked sadly, she thought sadly in her heart, who is better than her, understands Chu Li better, and is worthy of Chu Li's love? Who exactly? She filtered all the people she knew in her mind, and found no deliberate people, and her heart couldn't help but be more miserable.
Chu Li's eyebrows twisted, and he said lightly: "You don't know." ”
"I want to know who it is?" Tang Xiaoyue's eyes showed perseverance, she is an introverted and gentle woman, but she also has her own strength and persistence.
What kind of person is Chu Li, what kind of person he doesn't want to say, no one can force him.
Tang Xiaoyue's heart was filled with ice, she had never suffered such a big blow since she was a child.
At this moment, she was so sad in her heart, so sad, she really wanted to find a place to cry well, but why looked at his calm face, but tears couldn't come out, obviously her heart hurt so much, so tormented, as if she was in the same space with him, breathing the same air and suffocating her.
Tang Xiaoyue's despair can be seen by everyone.
Chu Li said lightly: "Xiaoyue......"
"If you don't say it, I can actually guess if it's the girl just now?" Tang Xiaoyue asked sadly, looking at him sadly, her brown eyes revealing a faint resentment.
Chu Li's eyebrows tightened, and this time he still chose to be silent.
"Actually, I should have thought of her when I saw her just now...... She looks very much like your previous lover, that's why you ......" Tang Xiaoyue smiled sadly, and now she has nothing to do: "But I don't understand, that woman hurt you so deeply, why do you want to pursue someone who looks like her?" ”
"They're different." Chu Li twisted his eyebrows and said firmly.
Tang Xiaoyue was still smiling like that, sad and lonely: "Is it really different?" Wouldn't it be you who were deceiving yourself? Brother Chu Li, I really like you, if you really like that kind of woman, I can have plastic surgery for you to make that face. ”
"I said, no, they're different! Even if you become exactly like her, I won't like you! At this time, Chu Li's expression was cold, he rarely said such heavy words to Tang Xiaoyue, and rarely made this sister sad, but now he has done it all......
It is precisely because of such a huge contrast that Tang Xiaoyue knows how ridiculous her words are, and how stupid she is doing today.
However, even if she gives up, can she give up her love for Chu Li?
"She's Gu ......"
Gu Xizi was listening attentively, and Gu Yang suddenly reached out and took off her headphones.
"What? I haven't finished listening to it yet! Gu Xizi was very puzzled, he was the one who wanted to listen, and now he was the one who didn't let him listen, why was this brother so annoying recently!
"Uh......" Gu Yang's face was a little embarrassed, and he said after a long time: "Let's go see Pei Muyu, this guy has been gone for a long time, I don't know if those people in the Pei family have embarrassed him." ”
Well, the elder brother won again......
Tang Xiaoyue over there was still standing face-to-face with Chu Li, and their conversations with each other also entered Gu Yang's ears word for word.
"She is Gu Yang's sister, do you think Gu Yang will let his own sister be someone else's stand-in?" Tang Xiaoyue asked.
"It's my thing." Chu Li's voice was still indifferent.
"In that case, then forget it, I won't ask any more." Tang Xiaoyue closed her eyes in pain, she was the eldest lady of the Tang family, so she should be proud again, close her eyes, let the tears flow to her heart, she couldn't show a little tears in front of him, her pride didn't allow it.
"Then what about your decision, do you still want to marry Pei Muyu?" Chu Li asked.
