Chapter Seventy-Six: Parental Obstruction
Xia Yixian has always been immersed in inexplicable joy these days, as if she has been engaged to Zhou Jingming, this time she was frightened before she came back to her senses, she has not picked the fruits of victory, is it too early to be happy at this time.
Suddenly, a hurried doorbell interrupted her thoughts, and she opened the door to see that it was her parents, and said in surprise: "Mom, Dad, why are you here?" ”
When Xia Kangyao heard that his daughter was so surprised, he said angrily: "Can't we come to see you?" ”
After that, he walked into the house and sat down on the sofa, and said: "Don't tell us about such a big thing as the engagement, it seems that you are going to secretly get married Ah, I and your mother's identity have embarrassed you, haven't you?"
Xia Yixian hurriedly explained: "Dad, I've been busy for the past two days, and I'm talking about going back to tell you about it in person." ”
When Xia Yixian's mother Cao Ling heard this, she was worried: "Yixian, do you really want to marry the heir of the Zhou Group?" How can we be worthy of someone, do his parents really agree? ”
Xia Yixian heard her mother belittle her daughter like this, and said sadly: "Mom, why am I not worthy of Zhou Jingming, I have lived in high society since I was a child, and I am familiar with their living habits, except for dressing well, eating well, and using well, there is no difference between us and us." ”
"It makes no difference?" Xia Kangyao asked rhetorically, "They are born noble, and they look down on us poor people at all, and it is you who marry into the upper class and are wronged in the end." ”
"Zhou Jingming really likes me, he is engaged to me voluntarily, how can I be wronged?"
Cao Ling asked: "Do Zhou Jingming's parents also like you?" Does his mom like you in particular? ”
"Of course, they like me very much."
Xia Kangyao disagreed, and said: "As far as I know, what they like is Wang Xiaolu, but it's not you Xia Yixian, your mother and I came over today in the hope that you can cancel your engagement, don't you plan to go to a foreign country to study and what kind of pastry chef do you want to be?" Is it too early to get engaged? ”
"Dad, my dream is to be a pastry chef, but this doesn't conflict with my engagement, wouldn't it be happier to have Zhou Jingming's support for me to be a pastry chef after I got engaged?"
"So you're not going to listen to me and your mother?"
Xia Yixian looked at Xia Kangyao with extremely firm eyes, and the look that would not change his decision to die appeared in front of Xia Kangyao again, and Xia Kangyao was shocked.
After a long time, Xia Kang Yao said: "That's right, you haven't heard me and your mother since you were a child, how can you listen to it this time?" ”
"Haven't you always been partial to your brother since you were a child? Don't you all care what decisions I make? Why did you let me change my mind this time?"
Cao Ling listened with a look of grievance, and said: "Your father and I have never been partial, when did you say that my brother didn't let you leave good things to you." ”
"That's what you gave him, and he couldn't eat it, so he gave it to me."
Xia Yixian's inner stubbornness really increased in Xia Kangyao's opinion, and he said earnestly for the last time: "Your grandparents have been working as servants for people, they have seen too much of the combination of Cinderella and Prince Charming, and after all, they divorced for various reasons, and it was the woman who was hurt in the end, do you think it is really so easy to marry into a wealthy family?" ”
Xia Yixian didn't answer, just lowered her head and endured silently, although she was prejudiced against her parents, she would still respect them more or less.
After Xia Kangyao finished speaking, he motioned for Cao Ling to leave.
Before leaving, Cao Ling put a bag of pickled fish into Xia Yixian's hand and said, "You love to eat pickled fish, this is the best fish your father picked out for you to pickle in the past three days." ”
Suddenly, Xia Yixian's tears burst out of his eyes, and he hurriedly took the car keys and said, "Parents, wait a minute, I'll send you away." ”
"No!"
Soon Xia Yixian drove her mount out of the garage, and when she slowly drove in front of Xia Kangyao, he was already at the gate of the community.
Xia Kangyao saw that Xia Yixian's car was replaced by a BMW at some point, and asked, "Where did you get the money to get this car?" ”
"Isn't this going to be engaged? I can't drive the original car anymore, how much does this damage the reputation of the Zhou family? ”
Cao Ling worried: "How much does this car cost, is one million enough?" ”
"How can a million be bought? Far from it! Xia Yixian knew the intention of Cao Ling's question, and continued, "Don't think about returning the money to Zhou Jingming, you can't afford to pay it back, let alone you need to pay it back." ”
Xia Yixian wanted to make her parents beautiful, and said, "Parents, get in the car, I'll send you home." ”
"We already bought the bus tickets when we came, and we couldn't afford to sit on such an expensive price." After that, Xia Kangyao went straight to the side of the road, wanting to take a taxi.
Xia Yixian was also angry when he saw his father so insistent, and said, "Love to sit or not." ”
And at this time, the person who had been monitoring Xia Yixian at the gate of the community saw all this, and he thought in his heart that after the second elder left for a while, it was a good time to bump into Xia Yixian.
But after waiting for a long time, Xia Yixian still didn't see a taxi coming, Xia Yixian began to feel distressed, and planned to go back and drive his parents home in his own car.
As soon as the man saw that Xia Yixian was leaving, he didn't have time to think about it, he drove the car and hit him, Xia Kangyao saw a van speeding in the direction of Xia Yixian, and his first reaction was to run forward and push his daughter away.
As a result, Xia Yixian just fell to the ground, but his father's head hit the stone bench in front of the community hard, and he fainted on the spot.
As soon as Xia Yixian saw his father's bleeding head, he cried instantly, and realized that he had called an ambulance the next second.
Wang Xiaolu learned that the operation failed again, and she also alarmed Zhou Jingming and became angry, but she also learned about the conflict between Xia Yixian and her parents, maybe starting with Xia Yixian's parents, it would be easier to prevent Xia Yixian and Zhou Jingming's engagement.
When Zhou Jingming rushed to the hospital, the doctor had already done a comprehensive examination of Xia Kangyao, and it was determined that Xia Kangyao had a concussion, but further observation was needed to determine the extent of the concussion.
Xia Yixian fell into Zhou Jingming's arms and cried, Zhou Jingming was distressed and comforted: "It's okay, uncle will recover." ”
Seeing such a careful and considerate Zhou Jingming, Cao Ling was naturally happy, she didn't expect the young master of the Zhou family to be so good to her daughter.
Zhou Jingming accompanied Xia Yixian until Xia Kangyao woke up.
When Xia Kangyao woke up, he felt that the headache was unbearable, and then he looked around and asked curiously: "This is the hospital?" How could I be in the hospital? ”
As soon as Cao Ling saw that her husband had woken up, she hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Just now, you hit your head on the stone bench in order to save your daughter, do you remember?" ”
Xia Kangyao tried to remember what had just happened, and by this time the doctor had already arrived.
The doctor hurriedly examined Xia Kangyao's pupils and other organs, and asked, "What's your name?" ”
"Xia Kangyao." Xia Kangyao replied without thinking.
The doctor continued, "Do you remember what just happened?" ”
Xia Kangyao tried to recall, and his blank head only gathered the fragments of his previous memories at this time, he remembered that someone was going to hit Xia Yixian, and said worriedly: "Yixian, where is Yixian?" ”
Xia Yixian hurriedly stepped forward, held Xia Kangyao's hand tightly and replied, "Dad, I'm here, I'm fine." ”
"It's okay, it's okay...... it's okay," Xia Kangyao kept repeating this sentence.
Seeing that Xia Kangyao still remembered what happened before, the doctor said: "At present, the patient has no head injury and hematoma, and his memory is very clear, so he can preliminarily judge that it is a slight concussion, and he will be observed for two more days." ”
Xia Yixian's heart finally let go when he heard it.
The doctor continued: "Patients must take care of their rest and tell us in time if they have any symptoms of discomfort. ”
Xia Yixian nodded again and again, indicating that he would definitely pay attention.
After the doctor left, Xia Kangyao noticed Zhou Jingming and said, "You are Zhou Jingming, the general manager of Zhou's Group?" ”
Zhou Jingming bent down slightly and said, "Hello uncle! I'm Zhou Jingming. ”
Xia Kangyao looked at the polite Zhou Jingming and didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.
After Xia Kangyao rested, Xia Yixian walked out of the ward with Zhou Jingming and said, "I have notified the police to investigate this matter, I believe there will be results soon, don't worry." ”
"Who is trying to harm me, and why did they hit me three times or twice?"
Zhou Jingming saw that Xia Yixian was still apprehensive, and comforted: "I will arrange someone to take care of you throughout the whole process in the past few days, so you don't want to travel alone." ”
Zhou Jingming saw that Xia Yixian's mood was much better, so he went back to deal with the company's affairs.
As soon as Zhou Jingming left, Wang Xiaolu accompanied He Yueru to the hospital.
At this time, Xia Kangyao was still worried about this marriage, and Cao Ling comforted: "I think the young master of the Zhou family treats us Yixian sincerely, since she has already made a choice, let's respect her decision." ”
As soon as the words fell, He Yueru walked in.
When Xia Yixian saw that Wang Xiaolu was also here, she felt a sense of vigilance in her heart, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "Aunt He, you are here!" ”
As soon as Cao Ling heard that this person was Zhou Jingming's mother, she immediately groveled and said, "Hello Mrs. Zhou! ”
He Yueru first asked for warmth and concern: "How is Mr. Xia's condition?" ”
Xia Kangyao replied politely: "Mrs. Xie Zhou cares, this little injury is nothing, it will be fine in a few days." ”
He Yueru glanced at Wang Xiaolu, Wang Xiaolu immediately took Xia Yixian's hand and said, "Yixian, I have something to do with you, let's go out and talk." ”
Xia Yixian knew that Wang Xiaolu must be uneasy and kind, and at this time, he Yueru must have something to say to her parents that she didn't want to hear, but she couldn't refuse on this occasion.
As soon as Xia Yixian left, He Yueru immediately took out a check from her bag and said with a smile: "Xia Yixian has taken care of us Jingming for so many years, this is compensation for you." ”
How could Xia Kangyao accept it, refused: "You have taken enough care of my daughter, how can we accept this check?" ”
He Yueru knew how they could be so satisfied, and shouted: "I'll just say it directly, our Zhou family will definitely not approve of Xia Yixian's daughter-in-law, she is not suitable for us Jingming." ”
Xia Kangyao had already guessed the purpose of He Yueru's coming, but he didn't expect it to be true, when he heard He Yueru veto his daughter like this, his heart was still very painful, but he was still strong to maintain the dignity of the Xia family, and said: "
We know what our identity is, and we have never thought of climbing your Zhou Group, we have clearly told Yixian that we will not agree to this marriage, but we don't know what she will choose. ”
He Yueru said angrily: "You are her parents, she will definitely listen to what you say, as long as she agrees not to get engaged to Jing Ming, I will agree to any conditions." ”
"Mrs. Zhou, if your young master doesn't agree to get engaged to our Yixian, we Yixian can't do anything, and I hope you go back and persuade Young Master Zhou to cancel your engagement with our Yixian." Cao Ling pleaded urgently.
When He Yueru heard this, she scolded angrily: "I have already made it very clear, if Xia Yixian must be engaged to our Jing Ming, I will definitely make you regret it." ”
