Chapter 180: Is He Really My Brother?
readx; Ning Zaiyu, who was helping to set the dishes and chopsticks, saw Chu Xinyi walking down the stairs with a depressed expression, so he leaned over and quipped, "Sister-in-law, did you quarrel with my brother?" ”
Chu Xinyi came back to her senses, glanced at Ning Zaiyu, and said almost provocatively: "You have the ability, let your brother quarrel once?" ”
"This ...... I really can't do it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Ning Jaeyu shook his head, indicating that he didn't have that ability.
Since he was a child, his brother has never been angry.
When he was a child, Ning Zaiyu cut off all the leaves of the bamboo he had raised for several years in order to see what Ning Ronghao looked like, leaving only bare branches. And he just patted his ignorant brother on the head and said, "Don't be naughty in the future", and then it was gone.
"yes, so your words don't hold up at all." Chu Xinyi gave a thumbs up proudly, "My husband is the best man in the world, and he is also the best husband......"
Speaking of this, her eyes darkened again, a man like Ning Ronghao would only make her ashamed.
"Huh?" Ning Zaiyu looked at Chu Xinyi, why was she so proud just now, and she became discouraged in the blink of an eye? He poked her bowed head and asked, "What's the matter with your strong inferiority complex?" ”
"How can I!" Chu Xinyi's head hung lower, and her voice was pale and weak.
Ning Zaiyu pokes not her head = one = book = read = novel xstxt, but her heart.
"My sister-in-law, you don't have to feel small." Ning Zaiyu patted her shoulder comfortingly, glanced behind her, and said with a smile: "My brother is the perfect male god, in my opinion, no woman is worthy of him." You, it's okay, you have a good family background, you look good, and you have such a high musical talent, marrying my brother is not a grievance against him. ”
Family? Chu Xinyi noticed that Ning Zaiyu put his family background first, and thinking about it, in a family like the Ning family, family background is naturally the most important.
"Don't talk nonsense." Ning Ronghao hugged Chu Xinyi's shoulders from behind, and poked his head in the same way as Ning Zaiyu, and said angrily: "Don't poke your sister-in-law's head in the future." ”
"Yes." Ning Zaiyu blinked with a smile, looked at Chu Xinyi and said, "Also, she is already stupid, wouldn't it be even more stupid to poke it again." ”
After saying that, he ran and jumped away.
Chu Xinyi bit her lip aggrievedly, is she really stupid? Although compared with Qin Yiyi and Bai Nina, she has a little ...... It's a little stupid, but it's not stupid in everyone's eyes, especially when a low-IQ species like Ning Zaiyu says this, which makes her feel even more annoyed.
"Wife, don't take Jae Yu's words to heart." Ning Ronghao kissed her hair, "You're not stupid at all, but you're not good at scheming, I like you like this very much." ”
"Really?" Chu Xinyi looked at her husband a little happily, and when she saw him nodding vigorously and seriously, her previous grievances suddenly disappeared. She turned sideways, hugged Ning Ronghao's waist, and asked in a low voice, "Husband, if I wasn't me...... It's not Chu Xinyi, if you don't have a prominent family background, do you still want me? ”
Ning Ronghao stroked Chu Xinyi's hair and said from the bottom of his heart: "I don't care about your family background, I don't care about your appearance, I don't even care about your musical talent, as long as you can keep your heart now, you are my favorite woman." ”
"Really?" Chu Xinyi seemed to see a glimmer of hope, but it was easily destroyed by Lan Fucai, who suddenly appeared in her mind. Would he have said that if he had known her true origins?
"Husband, when did I lie to you?" Ning Ronghao lowered his head, kissed her forehead, and said sincerely in her ear: "What I love is you." Before the blind date, my father said that I don't have to care about the girl's family background, just look at the character, and I think so myself; When I went on a blind date, the reason why I was attracted to you was because we had a common hobby and your quirky personality; At that time, I didn't know that you were the famous songwriter Lin Ya, and I already loved you so much that I couldn't extricate myself...... Isn't that enough to convince you what I just said? ”
"I believe, I believe." Chu Xinyi nodded movingly, even if he wasn't Chu Xinyi, he would love her like he did now, right?
Suddenly, she shook her head, she could only be Chu Xinyi, she didn't want to believe Lan Fucai's words.
Even if Ning Ronghao doesn't mind her life experience, a man will definitely care if his woman gives her the first time.
If she is not Chu Xinyi, but Ye Meiyu, it means that she was bullied by such a disgusting man when she was a child...... No, she can't accept that kind of self, even if she didn't mean to deceive Ning Ronghao, she couldn't forgive that kind of self.
"Wife, what's wrong with you today?" Ning Ronghao looked at Chu Xinyi worriedly, she looked a little in a trance today, as if she had something on her mind.
"Let's eat, I'm hungry." Chu Xinyi couldn't lie to Ning Ronghao, so she had to find an excuse to sneak away from him and go to the restaurant.
Ning Ronghao looked at Chu Xinyi's back as she fled, and was even more sure of her guess. When he had dinner, he would have to ask her properly.
Except for Ning Guoen, who had entertainment, the family sat around the dining table for dinner.
Chu Xinyi seemed extremely quiet today, and she was in a daze from time to time, and she didn't even react when Ning Ronghao put the fried meatballs she liked to eat in her bowl.
Zhou Zhihui glanced at Ning Ronghao and asked him why Chu Xinyi was in this situation.
Ning Ronghao shook his head, saying that he didn't know, and at the same time signaled his mother not to ask anything first.
Chu Xinyi's matter can be postponed until she goes back to the room after dinner, but it is Ning Zaiyu who makes Ning Ronghao a little worried.
"You're at home again today, isn't it that Gu Yi has stopped arranging a notice for you?" Ning Ronghao wanted to know how Ning Zaiyu's work had changed in the past few days when he was on a business trip.
Ning Zaiyu shook his head exaggeratedly, pretending to smile lightly and said: "It's not a day or two since the company doesn't arrange work for me, so it's okay, I now have a lot of time to concentrate on creation." Actually, it's not bad, at least I can eat the food cooked by my mother and aunt every night, which is much better than eating a bento box outside. I'm just the time to grow my body......"
Chu Xinyi's brain was amused for a while, looking at Ning Zaiyu, thinking if he was still growing his body now?
Ning Ronghao knew that his younger brother was being reckless, and he asked seriously, "Have you ever considered changing companies?" ”
"Not yet, I think that's equivalent to running away." Ning Zaiyu put down his chopsticks and clenched his fists, "I want to take back everything that belongs to me with my strength." ”
Ning Ronghao is not as optimistic as Ning Zaiyu, he knows Gu Yi's personality better than everyone else, he will neither let go of Chu Xinyi nor Ning Zaiyu.
Although every time he faced Gu Yi's small actions, he easily resolved them, but he couldn't be in a situation of being beaten all the time, right? Perhaps, as an elder brother, he should think of a way.
"No matter what happens, I will support you, don't worry, you are talented, and you will never be buried." Ning Ronghao encouraged Ning Zaiyu.
"With my brother as my backing, I think...... Wow, my confidence has doubled. Speaking of this, Ning Zaiyu squeezed his eyes evilly, "When I was young, my brother loved me very much, and he has snubbed me a lot recently, and I thought that I didn't want a brother if I married my sister-in-law." ”
"Nonsense, your sister-in-law is the woman I love the most, and it is natural for me to protect her." Ning Ronghao put a meatball into Chu Xinyi's bowl again, glanced at Ning Zaiyu, and said with a smile: "But you are my brother, I won't leave you alone." ”
"Brother, I'm so touched, I love you so much." Ning Jaeyu clutched his chest exaggeratedly.
Ning Ronghao frowned slightly, and said with a smile: "Don't be so disgusting, no matter how much my brother does for you, you just need to take it all, who made me your brother." ”
Looking at the brotherhood between Ning Ronghao and Ning Zaiyu, Chu Xinyi fell into deep thought again. Although she tried her best to deny the fact that she was Ye Meiyu, her heart ached faintly, and the reason was that it might be her younger brother Lan Yecheng.
"By the way, sister-in-law, there is something I forgot to tell you, I went to Shengwei's bar last night and found out that Xiaocheng had resigned." After speaking, Ning Jaeyu threw a small meatball into his mouth.
"Resign? Why? Chu Xinyi stood up suddenly, and even the chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground. When she hurriedly went to pick up the chopsticks, she accidentally knocked over the bowl again, and several small meatballs contained in it rolled on the table.
"I'll clean it up." Ning Ronghao cleaned up the table first, then went to the kitchen to get new dishes and chopsticks for Chu Xinyi, filled the meal, put it in front of her, and explained to Zhou Zhihui for her: "Xiaocheng is a bartender in Yuyou's bar, Xinyi has always cared about that child and treated him like a younger brother. ”
Zhou Zhihui nodded, although she felt that Chu Xinyi's performance was a little excessive, she didn't say much.
Chu Xinyi sat back in her chair, her fingers trembling slightly, and she was silent for a while before she looked at Ning Zaiyu.
Ning Zaiyu stroked his chest vigorously, he was just startled by Chu Xinyi, and he was a little choked.
Feeling that her gaze had been urging him, he had to endure the discomfort and said: "Sheng Wei doesn't know the reason very well, I asked, that is, after visiting the Chu family that day, he went back to the bar directly to resign." ”
"Then I...... Can't we find him? Chu Xinyi clenched her fists nervously and stared at Ning Zaiyu's mouth tightly.
"Yes, Xiaocheng doesn't have a mobile phone, and no one knows where he lives." Ning Jaeyu shook his head.
"Oh." Chu Xinyi responded softly, and the person suddenly became unenergetic, she lowered her head, looked at the food in front of her blankly, and blamed herself in her heart. Maybe it was because she didn't want to admit it, so God took Xiaocheng away from her.
Although he didn't know the reason, Ning Ronghao didn't want to see Chu Xinyi so sad, so he took the initiative to offer: "Why don't I let someone help you find ......"
"No need!" Chu Xinyi immediately refused, she couldn't ask Ning Ronghao to help find it, because Lan Yecheng was involved in her past, and she was weak-hearted.
Ning Ronghao looked at Chu Xinyi, she was really strange today.
"No need for my brother to look for it, Heng Yi is already looking for it." Ning Zaiyu also saw that Chu Xinyi was wrong, and played a round for everyone.
"That's good, that's good......" Chu Xinyi nodded randomly, she slowly stood up, "Mom, you eat slowly, I'm not too hungry, go back to the room first." ”
Zhou Zhihui nodded, and without waiting for her to look at Ning Ronghao, he stood up and went upstairs with Chu Xinyi.
"What the hell is going on?" Zhou Zhihui looked at Ning Zaiyu, who was also confused, and the other party only shrugged his shoulders at her in confusion, indicating that he didn't know at all.
Closing the door, Ning Ronghao grabbed Chu Xinyi's arm, dragged her in front of him, held her shoulders and asked, "Wife, what's wrong with you today?" Is there anything I can't say to my husband? ”
Chu Xinyi looked directly at Ning Ronghao's concerned gaze, her eyes gradually turned red, and she was silent for a moment, she shook her head and said in a low voice: "Husband, will you let me take a bath first?" I want to be quiet. ”
"Okay." Ning Ronghao nodded without hesitation, "You go take a bath first, I'll make you a glass of milk, you haven't eaten anything, be careful of dizziness for a while." ”
"Hmm." Chu Xinyi bit her lip, "Thank you." ”
"Two in-laws, what is there to thank for?" Ning Ronghao pinched her nose and comforted her: "I know you don't want to say anything now, but there is one sentence you must remember, no matter what happens, everything has me." ”
"I see." Chu Xinyi avoided Ning Ronghao's gaze and walked straight to the bathroom.
Ning Ronghao looked at her back until he disappeared at the door of the bathroom, he sighed softly, it seems that Chu Xinyi has something difficult to say in his heart.
She didn't even take her pajamas and went into the bathroom like that, which shows that she is absent-minded now, and I don't know if she listened to what she just said.
After making a glass of milk, Ning Ronghao sent it to the bathroom, and by the way, took Chu Xinyi's pajamas in.
She soaked in this bath for a long time, and Ning Ronghao would go into the bathroom from time to time to look at her, for fear that she would fall asleep in it.
Ning Ronghao's worries, Chu Xinyi didn't know at all, she was thinking about Lan Yecheng all over her head.
If he really had a stepfather like Lan Fucai, then something could be explained. For example, the child still wears such a thin coat in winter, for example, he looks thin and small, and he does not look like an adult boy at all. And why he doesn't like others to call him by his name, but likes to hear himself call him Xiaocheng.
Is he really my brother? Chu Xinyi's heart hurt fiercely.
Lan Fucai also said that Lan Yecheng had been protecting her, and even resisted that man for her.
As for her, she is so selfish that she only thinks about her own happiness, runs away from her past, and even this younger brother does not want to recognize her.
Perhaps, accepting the past self is the most correct choice. Otherwise, she is not only sorry for her brother who protects her, but also sorry for Ning Ronghao, who loves and believes in herself.
Chu Xinyi clenched her fists unconsciously, she still couldn't make up her mind, because she didn't know if she knew if she had the courage to accept her past self.
But if she believed Lan Fucai so easily, would she be sorry for Chu Weiqi and Zheng Qiuping, was she doubting the family affection of the two old men for her?
Should I ask my grandparents for verification first? Chu Xinyi asked herself.
After much thought, she gave up on the idea. No matter what the truth is, it will not change her love for her grandparents, and the second elder is already old, so she shouldn't let them worry about herself anymore.
"Wife, how long do you have to soak? Is the water already cold? Ning Ronghao walked into the bathroom, sat on the edge of the bathtub, and asked with a smile, "Aren't you afraid of fainting inside?" My husband came back from a business trip for so long, and you don't want to come out to accompany me? ”
"I'll be out right away." As she spoke, Chu Xinyi sank into the water instead.
"Don't worry, my husband is also very tired today, so he won't want you...... Don't sink any further, you're going to suck the bubbles into your nose. Ning Ronghao knew that Chu Xinyi's mood was too bad, and in order to reassure her, he offered not to do bed exercises, "I'm really tired, you come out of the shower, let me hug you and sleep well." I haven't had much rest these days when you're not around. ”
"Good ......" Chu Xinyi looked at Ning Ronghao and asked in a low voice, "Husband, how much do you remember about the little girl who saved you?" ”
"I remember them all...... How did you think to ask about her, though? Ning Ronghao couldn't help but wonder if Chu Xinyi had remembered something to be so abnormal.
"...... a moment," Chu Xinyi wiped the foam on her lips with the back of her hand, "Can you tell me about her?" ”
Ning Ronghao smiled without hesitation and said, "Of course, I will tell you everything in the three days I was with her." ”
Chu Xinyi nodded lightly, stretched out an arm and waved it to him, and said, "Then you go out first, I'll go out immediately." ”
"Do you want me to take you out?" Ning Ronghao joked half-truthfully.
His joke made Chu Xinyi suddenly become a submarine again.
"No, I can do it myself." Before she could say anything, she sank into the water, spouting bubbles, making it clear that she didn't give Ning Ronghao a chance.
Ning Ronghao didn't insist anymore, and walked out of the bathroom with a smile.
Hearing his footsteps and walking out of the bathroom, Chu Xinyi poked her head out of the bubble.
Just now, she thought of the necklace that Lan Fu picked up by the way when she picked up the key after she was scared away by the security guard. She was hesitating to show the necklace to Ning Ronghao and ask him to confirm it.
She could not tell him anything else for a while, as long as she proved that the necklace was not the one that the little girl was wearing.
Also, she wanted to find out if the little girl really had a younger brother through their conversation at the time.
And then what? The easiest way for her to find Lan Yecheng is to do a DNA test with him.
Although she still can't remember what happened when she was a child, she needs to determine who she is.
As for that Lan Fucai, Chu Xinyi closed her eyes in some despair, she didn't want to think about the obscene words he said for the time being.
She just wants to prove now that Lan Yecheng is not her younger brother, and if he is, she will recognize him.
As soon as she saw Lan Fucai, it was not difficult for Chu Xinyi to imagine what kind of life Lan Yecheng had lived for so many years, she could have escaped back then, grew up happily under the protection of the second elder of the Chu family, and married Ning Ronghao again, and was loved by him all the time, living happily.
This is too unfair to Lan Yecheng, I'm afraid the reason why he resigned is because of her.
He probably knew that Lan Fucai had come to look for her, and he also knew that she had fainted because of it, so he chose to flee from her, so that she could not confirm what Lan Fucai said.
He thought that by doing this, he would allow her to continue living as Chu Xinyi.
He thinks so much about me, how can I be so selfish to hide under my brother's not full wings and live my life in peace?
Chu Xinyi shook her head, stretched out her hand to support herself, and slowly stood up from the bathtub.
I don't know if she was hungry, or if she had been in the bath for too long, the world was spinning, and her head slammed on the edge of the bathtub.
