As soon as Zhou Jingming got home, He Yueru asked, "Is Xia Yixian's father better?" He Yueru wanted to confirm whether Zhou Jingming knew about Xia Kangyao's return to his hometown.

When Zhou Jingming heard his mother ask like this, he thought that his mother had no objection to their engagement, and replied: "Well, it's much better, if you don't feel any discomfort tomorrow, you can be discharged from the hospital." ”

"Oh? In this way, Xia Yixian's parents will attend your engagement banquet, right? ”

"Of course, how could they not participate?"

Seeing that Zhou Jingming was kept in the dark, He Yueru said angrily: "I really want to see if they will appear when you get engaged, Xia Kangyao went through the discharge procedures yesterday, and as soon as they were discharged from the hospital, they went back to their hometown by car directly, didn't Xia Yixian tell you?" ”

"How is it possible, the doctor hasn't determined Uncle Xia's injuries yet?"

"Don't believe it, ask Xia Yixian in person? See what the hell is going on in her heart? ”

Zhou Jingming was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said, "I'll ask her, I'll go upstairs to change my clothes first." ”

Zhou Jingming returned to the bedroom and immediately called Xia Yixian.

Xia Yixian saw that it was Zhou Jingming calling, and happily immediately answered the phone, who knew that Zhou Jingming's first sentence was-"Your father has been discharged from the hospital and returned to his hometown, right?" ”

Xia Yixian didn't expect Zhou Jingming to know so quickly, and hurriedly explained: "Well, my dad said that he was fine, and he didn't want to stay in the hospital for fear of his grandmother worrying, so he went home." ”

"Why didn't you tell me today?"

"I was going to pick him up today and take him back to the hospital for a follow-up, but I didn't say anything, for fear that you would worry."

In fact, Xia Yixian didn't go back to his hometown today, Zhou Jingming said: "Let Xiao Zhang take you back to your hometown tomorrow morning and pick them up." ”

"Hmm."

Zhou Jingming hung up the phone and felt inexplicable loss welling up in his heart, he hated this feeling of being deceived.

Somehow, he recalled the unpleasantness that happened between him and his mother He Yueru when he just woke up.

Zhou Jingming didn't remember anything after waking up in a coma, and the only people he could rely on were his father and mother.

The day after waking up, Zhou Jingming was walking in front of the hospital, and he asked He Yueru, "Mom, how did I get into a car accident?" ”

He Yueru had already confessed that everyone couldn't tell Zhou Jingming the truth of the matter, and she had already thought of a foolproof plan herself, saying: "On the day you and Xiaolu got engaged, you had to go to get the ring in person, but there was a car accident on the way there. ”

"Guo Xiangjun said that I had just finished my freshman year, how could I get engaged so quickly?"

"You and Xiaolu are childhood sweethearts, both of you want to get engaged early, and our parents have held an engagement ceremony for you in accordance with your wishes."

While speaking, Wang Xiaolu had already come to them, she looked at Zhou Jingming and said happily: "Jingming, you look much better today." ”

Zhou Jingming looked at Wang Xiaolu in front of him and had no impression at all, how could such a strange person be the person he liked, but he could still accept He Yueru's rhetoric.

Suddenly, one day, he saw a news item on the Internet, saying that he regretted his engagement with Wang Xiaolu in public on the day of his engagement and left the engagement scene, but he had a car accident.

In order to know the truth of the matter, he asked his mother again, but He Yueru continued to say how much he loved Wang Xiaolu.

Zhou Jingming said angrily: "I asked everyone except you to say this, I can't tell from other people's expressions and words that I like Wang Xiaolu at all, I just don't like him before leaving." ”

The more Zhou Jingming recalled, the more uncomfortable it became, the fragmented memories had already made his head explode, and now he thought that the reason why he ran away at the engagement banquet was entirely because he wanted to chase Lin Shuyao.

When I thought of Lin Shuyao and Zhou Jingming, I couldn't help but feel sad, although I didn't fully remember all the memories I had with her before, but since they met again, Zhou Jingming could clearly remember every bit of their time together.

Suddenly, unprecedented fear swept over him, he was afraid of thinking of Lin Shuyao, he controlled himself not to think about Lin Shuyao, he told himself that he was about to get engaged to Xia Yixian, and the person he should think about was Xia Yixian.

At this time, Xia Yixian was in a dilemma, if he went to his hometown to pick up his parents, he would definitely quarrel with them, and they would never come back, if he didn't pick it up, Zhou Jingming would inevitably blame himself, what should I do? Until he fell asleep, Xia Yixian was still hesitating about what to do so as not to make Zhou Jingming angry.

Early the next morning, Xiao Zhang was ordered to pick up Xia Yixian, and Xia Yixian had to take a car back to his hometown to pick up his parents.

Xia Yixian has long had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery along the way, he is afraid of quarreling with his father in front of Xiao Zhang, so Zhou Jingming will definitely know.

With an extremely nervous mood, Xia Yixian stepped into the house, but who knew that the yard was empty, and at this time before, her mother must have been fiddling with pickled fish in the yard.

As soon as he walked into the living room, he faintly heard the voice of a person, and followed the sound Xia Yixian walked into his brother's bedroom, and saw that his sister-in-law was tutoring Xia Hao (a seven-year-old boy) to do homework, Xia Yixian shouted softly: "Sister-in-law." ”

Xia Yixian's sister-in-law looked back, hurriedly stood up and said, "Yixian, you're back, is it your brother's call to you, grandma is still in the hospital." ”

"What's wrong with Grandma?" Xia Yixian said anxiously.

"Don't you know? Grandma fell when she got up to go to the bathroom last night, and the doctor said she broke a rib. ”

After hearing this, Xia Yixian hurriedly rushed to the hospital, if there was no grandmother Xia Yixian would not have been able to enter the elite talent gathering academy, nor would it be possible to enter the upper class society to know Zhou Jingming, she only has gratitude and filial piety for her grandmother.

As soon as he arrived at the ward, Xia Yixian threw himself into his grandmother's arms and cried and said, "Grandma, I'm sorry, Yixian didn't come to see you yesterday." ”

Grandma said gently: "You are so busy with work, and you have come back all the way, grandma is fine, it will be fine after a while, you don't know that grandma's body is tough." ”

"Yes, grandma, your body has always been good, and you will definitely live a long life."

Seeing his mother smiling so happily, Xia Kangyao was also very pleased that Xia Yixian had this filial piety.

It wasn't until her grandmother fell asleep in the afternoon that Xia Yixian looked at the time, thinking that she would be engaged to Zhou Jingming tomorrow, and then thinking that the matter of coming back this time had not been done, she felt a lot of pressure.

Xia Yixian knew that her mother had always listened to her father, and when she asked her father that he had gone home, she hurried home.

As soon as Xia Yixian got home, she saw her father mending fishing gear, she panicked at this time, she didn't know how to persuade her father to attend tomorrow's engagement banquet.

As soon as Xia Kangyao saw Xia Yixian, he was concerned and said, "I'm tired, let's go back to the house and rest." ”

"Well, I'm not tired." Xia Yixian wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end, she forced herself to move towards the theme and said, "Dad, have you been back for the past two days, have you felt any discomfort?" ”

"No, I'm fine, don't worry." Xia Kangyao tirelessly repaired his fishing gear.

Xia Yixian continued: "Dad, can you go back with me? I'll go with you to the hospital for a follow-up. ”

"What's the recheck, you don't have to go, you see that your grandmother is hospitalized, and the family needs someone."

Xia Yixian slurred: "I...... You and my mom need to be present when we get engaged......"

Xia Kangyao was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Your mother and I won't go, if you and the young master of the Zhou family are really married, let's go back then." ”

"I've got all the clothes for you, they're the most expensive clothes."

"No matter how expensive the clothes are, they can't cover us as countrymen, Mrs. Zhou doesn't agree to your engagement, take 10,000 steps back and say that you really married into the Zhou family, Mrs. Zhou will definitely make things difficult for you in every way, Yixian, Dad persuaded you not to get engaged to the young master of the Zhou family for the last time, okay?"

Xia Yixian sincerely came to invite her father, but she didn't expect to get Xia Kangyao's support, she said angrily: "I won't cancel the engagement, the engagement ceremony has been advanced to tomorrow, it's your business whether you and my mother come or not." ”

After that, Xia Yixian turned his head and left.

Before leaving, she returned to the hospital again, and it happened that her grandmother had woken up, Xia Yixian said: "Grandma, I still have something to do tomorrow, and now I want to go back, and I'll come back to accompany you after I'm busy in a few days, okay?" ”

"No, grandma still wants to wait for the time to heal, go to the city to visit Mrs. Lu, then you can see me, you are so busy that you don't come back to see me, you know?"

Xia Yixian left reluctantly with tears.

When she got home, it was already 6 o'clock in the evening, and it happened that Zhou Jingming had already made dinner at the place where Xia Yixian lived.

Seeing that Xia Yixian was back, Zhou Jingming hurriedly asked, "How is grandma's health?" ”

"It takes 100 days to break the bones, and it will take about three months to fully recover."

Xia Yixian glanced at Zhou Jingming and continued: "I'm sorry, I didn't invite my parents, my father said that grandma was hospitalized, and the family couldn't do without him, and he and my mother would come over again when we got married." ”

Zhou Jingming hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, it's okay to delay our engagement." ”

Hearing that it was going to be delayed, Xia Yixian said nervously: "How can it be done, the media already knows, if it is delayed, they still think that our engagement is canceled, and then I don't know what they will say about you." ”

Zhou Jingming touched Xia Yixian's hair and said, "You go and change your clothes first, don't get cold when the meal is ready." ”

After Xia Yixian returned to the bedroom, Zhou Jingming thought about it, does Xia Yixian really love himself? Even though she was considerate of herself, he couldn't feel this love, and in turn he asked himself if he loved Xia Yixian? He can't do without this attachment to Xia Yixian, but he can't say why this is love or not.

When Xia Yixian came out, Zhou Jingming had already set the dinner plate, and she said excitedly: "It would be good if we could do this every day in the future." ”

At this time, Xiao Zhang got into He Yueru's car unconsciously.

I only heard He Yueru ask: "Why did you accompany Xia Yixian back to her hometown today?" ”

"Take Xia Kangyao to the hospital for a re-examination."

"Then why didn't he come?"

"Xia Yixian's grandmother broke her ribs and is now in the hospital, and it is said that Xia Kangyao has to take care of the elderly, so she is reluctant to come for a follow-up."

"Did Mr. Zhou tell you to pick them up in a few days to attend his engagement?"

"Nope."

"Okay, I know, tell me immediately if Xia Yixian has any movement in the past few days."

"Yes, ma'am."
