Chapter 015: Light and Darkness Intersect
Xu Cheng wears a white shirt and khaki pants; The posture is straight, the eyebrows are clear, the lips are red and the teeth are white, white and clean. He was sitting on the sofa, but when he saw Shu Wan walking over, he stood up as soon as he saw him and smiled beautifully.
"Long time no see." Shu Wan stood in front of him and said with a smile, smiling very detachedly.
If she used to look at him, she always had regrets. So looking at him today, she had a sense of relief. Such a beautiful man is not his own after all, and the two have missed it. When Qi Tong said, Xu Cheng was divorced. Her first reaction was not that she felt that she had come to a chance, but that it was a pity. At that moment, as smart as she was, she realized that she was in love with Qi Tong. So she proposed that the two get married, the sooner the better.
What can be solved with money is not a problem. Of the more than 10 million, she had already told Xu Cheng that she was not in a hurry to pay him back. In fact, she wanted to say that if he didn't pay it back in his life, she wouldn't care. She felt that she should tell Xu Cheng these words thoroughly.
"Sit down." He shifted and gave up a seat next to his grandmother.
Shu Wan sat down.
Grandma looked at Shu Wan with an inquiring gaze and asked, "Wan, what about Qi Tong?" ”
"Qi Tong has something to do temporarily, and he can't come." Shu Wan explained.
"Oh." Grandma is very sorry. She loved the kid a lot.
She looked at Shu Wan and said, "I see that the relationship between you and Qi Tong is quite stable." Listen to your mother, you've already met his family. Your aunt said that she also thought the child was very good. I heard your mom say last time that you plan to get engaged first. If you want me to say, what era is it, what are you doing with that? It is easier to get married directly. Xiaoxiao is getting married. You're her cousin and can't be too far behind. ”
Shu Wan smiled and said, "Grandma, are you worried that I won't be able to get married?" ”
"What nonsense are you talking about? My niece, how can she not get married? My grandmother said, "I'm old, and I'm worried that I won't see you getting married." ”
"Grandma!" Shu Wan and Xue Xiao spoke at the same time.
"Grandma wasn't joking with you. Grandma has lived to this age, which is enough. Your grandfather went early, and I lived his age, so it's time to go down and accompany him. Grandma disagreed, saying.
There is a saying in the countryside. If one of the two dies early, then the remaining one will live a long time, and the one who dies first transfers his life to the remaining one.
Shu Wan opened his mouth to say something.
Grandma waved her hand to stop her from talking, and said, "I always stay in Shujiazhuang, and I have to worry about you, I can't live and work in peace, and I have to ask for leave to see me from time to time." For you, it's a burden. ”
Ding Xiang walked over with a plate of fruit snacks, and when he heard this, tears welled up all of a sudden. She put the plate into Shu Wan's arms, squatted in front of her grandmother, her voice choked, and said, "Mom, do you blame us for not going to Shujiazhuang to accompany you, making you lonely?" Can I retire early and go back to accompany you? Anyway, now, we don't have to worry about running out of money to spend. ”
Shu Wan quickly stood up and asked his mother to sit next to his grandmother. She stood beside her, silent.
Grandma's voice was also choked up, and she said, "Everything is a fellowship of interests." I miss the mountains and rivers of my hometown, and I also miss the people in Wangcheng. The old woman has nothing to do all day, just thinking about you. But Wangcheng is really, too far away. I don't blame you guys. ”
Shu Wan understood, her grandmother was telling her uncle's family.
Ding Dagang listened to this on the side, pretending not to hear it, and was still watching TV seriously. He actually wanted to go back. But as Su Li said, he didn't have the face to go back. He's a wreck now, he doesn't make money, he just opens his mouth and spends money.
Shu Wan thought for a while and said, "Grandma, I went back to Qitong's grandfather's house and saw a big yard at the door where his family lived. In the garden, flowers and plants are planted on the one hand, and seasonal vegetables are planted on the other. Let's buy a house like this again, and you can eat fruits and vegetables without pesticides. ”
"That kind of house, I know it's a villa, it costs a lot of money. And I'm so old, where can I go to the ground? Grandma wiped her tears and said.
Shu Wan smiled and said, "When the time comes, let my uncle do his filial piety and work in the field for you." Isn't it, uncle? ”
Ding Dagang will hear it. He replied, "Yes." That's a good idea. I haven't been in the field for a few years, and my hands are itchy, so I must have served the vegetables well. The southern district of Donglin County is the villa area. I saw that their yards were all planted with ornamental trees and flowers, and it hurt me. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to grow fruits and vegetables? ”
Ding Ming interjected and said, "Dad, don't talk about the villa in Donglin County. Do you know how much that villa costs? ”
Ding Dagang disagreed, and said: "I don't need you to pay for it, what are you talking about?" ”
"Where to buy a villa can be discussed. Mom, what do you think of Wan's idea? Ding Xiang asked.
She actually thinks it's good to buy a villa in Donglin County. The Qi family lives in Donglin County, and it will be convenient to see Shu Wan in the future. But if his eldest brother's family lives next to Mrs. Wan's house, I am afraid that Shu Wan will become the king of topics in Donglin County.
Grandma snorted and said, "It's good, it's just too expensive......
Ding Xiang said: "Money is easy to say. Last time, we discussed, and this house was sold by someone and the money was returned to everyone in proportion. Villa, in this way, our Shu family bought it in full, and let my eldest brother's family live with you. ”
Grandma was thoughtful. She said, why did she go back to the city this time, and how did the whole family mobilize. She thought it was because everyone was thinking about herself, an old lady. Since she returned to Shujiazhuang, there are a few juniors who have not seen each other. For example, Xue Lin.
She spoke: "It's easy for you to buy a house." But well, when the time comes, the house will write the names of the two of you, don't write my name anymore. ”
"Write Shu Wan's name. Our money will be Shu Wan's in the future. After saving us a hundred years, we will have to pay inheritance tax. Ding Xiang's words were amazing.
"Mom!" Shu Wan blamed.
This grandmother is having a temper, and her mother actually took the initiative to say something "a hundred years later", which is really convinced.
Grandma laughed and said, "It's okay." The idea is good. I heard that Qi Tong's family is quite rich. We Shuwan can't be too weak, can we? Why don't you move in with the villa as a family? ”
"My mom, how much of a villa do you want my eldest sister to pay for?" Ding Dagang said. He is not happy to live with his eldest sister's family, especially Shu Wanzai. This niece has never had a big or small concept. provoked her, but I was afraid that I would flip the table on the spot.
In other words, when will this spicy woman get married?
Shu Wan's phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was Ding Wei's. She hurried to the balcony to answer the phone.
"Hello, Auntie!" Shu Wan said softly.
"Shu Wan, hello! Are you with you? Ding Wei asked.
"No......"
"Didn't he say that he was going to pick up your grandmother from Iwayama City with you this weekend?"
"Oh. There was a young man from our village who also came to look at the city. My grandmother came in his car. We didn't pick it up. ”
"It scared the hell out of us. We thought you weren't familiar with the mountain roads and something had happened to the car. I thought that since my grandmother was here, we would make an appointment to meet at a time. ”
"I didn't contact Qi Tong today."
"When was the last time you saw Qitong?"
"It was ten o'clock last night. I was in my room, and he went back to his room. ”
"You-" Ding Wei wanted to say, "you didn't live together", but she changed her tone and said, "You didn't quarrel, did you?" ”
"Nope."
"That's weird. I call and ask people. If you get in touch with him as soon as possible, let us know. ”
"Okay, Auntie."
"Shu Wan, if it's convenient for you, go to his house and have a look. You have his key, right? ”
"No—" Shu Wan said, remembering that Qi Tong once wanted to take the key to himself, but he confiscated it himself, so he casually put the key in the drawer of his coffee table, and she said, "Oh, yes." ”
Hanging up the phone, Shu Wan only felt that something was wrong.
Qi Tong, you won't get sick, right?
Or, was it kidnapped?
She tensed all at once. She steadied herself and went over to her grandmother and said, "Grandma, I have to leave beforehand." I didn't eat dinner. ”
"Hey, Wan, the big thing hasn't been discussed yet, why did you leave?" The second uncle called her.
In this big family, Shu Wan can hold up the field and challenge Ding Dagang's authority.
"If you have something to do, just go." Grandma glanced at her second son and said.
Shu Wan hurriedly drove home, took out the key from the coffee table drawer, and went over to open the door of Qi Tong's house.
The whole room was filled with the smell of smoke.
She went over and opened the window, and saw cigarette butts on the balcony. At a cursory glance, there are at least forty or fifty.
She frowned, searched room to room, and didn't see Qi Tong.
She suddenly remembered that there was surveillance at her doorstep. She closed the door of Qi Tong's house, ran home and turned on the computer to check the surveillance. Sure enough, I saw that at six o'clock in the morning, Qi Tong opened the door and hurriedly left, without stopping. Freeze the picture and zoom in, you can see that he has a scruffy beard and a haggard expression.
"It's good that you're not kidnapped......" Shu Wan comforted herself.
She walked to the balcony, took out a lighter and a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff. She suddenly remembered that once, she hid on the balcony to smoke afterwards, and Qi Tong came over to hug her and said, "Daughter-in-law, let's quit smoking, okay?" I've heard that smoking is not good for children. ”
She suddenly felt bored and put out her cigarette again.
Where can he go?
Could it be that in Xiao Shutong?
Thinking of this, Shu Wan hurriedly went out and got out of the car to rush to Xiao Shutong. Fortunately, the last time she came to Xiaoshutong, Qi Tong had already entered her license plate number into the vehicle identification system. Her car was unimpeded and entered Xiao Shutong's yard.
Qi Tong's car was also parked in the yard.
Shu Wan breathed a sigh of relief. She called Qi Tong and still turned off her phone.
The door was wide open.
Shu Wan entered the house, looked for room by room, and found the third floor.
In the dark, the red dots are bright and dark, and someone is smoking.
Shu Wan turned on the light, and in the thick smoke, she could see clearly, with red eyes.
