Chapter 112: Engagement
Hearing this, Xu Xiaoai was no longer as excited as before, she was just stunned for a long time, and then continued to devote herself to her work, but she took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Chu Yu: "I heard that Zhou Ye is getting married." β
After less than 20 minutes, Chu Yu rushed into their office and pulled Xu Xiaoai directly from her seat: "Colleagues, you have worked hard, the work should come to an end, Xiao Ai is a little uncomfortable, I'll take her back to rest first." β
Xu Xiaoai was directly pulled to the car by Chu Yu and rushed all the way home.
"What are you doing? I'm not done yet. β
"I'm worried about you, you can't continue to work with such a heavy psychological burden, it's going to explode."
"Psychological burden? No, I don't have a heavy psychological burden, I was just stunned for a moment when I heard the news, and I felt that I should bless him. β
"No, your state is not right, you shouldn't have any feelings in your heart, you should at least feel hated or feel worthless, some time ago I said that I love you, love to death, and it won't take long for you to get engaged to someone else, you can't have any feelings."
To be honest, I don't feel that it's impossible, it's just that Xu Xiaoai doesn't want to show it in front of Chu Yu.
The news that Zhou Ye was going to get engaged had no less impact on her than meeting at the annual meeting, and after hearing the news, she just quickly shielded him and put him in a corner of her heart, and then took it out and tasted it carefully when there was no one.
"I really don't feel too much, haven't I made it clear to him, that is, it has nothing to do with it at all."
"Okay, then I'll ask you. Are you curious about who he's engaged to? Are you curious why he has a fiancΓ©e and keeps confessing to you? Did he just dump you before, and now he wants to step on two boats? β
These three questions are the lingering question marks that Xu Xiaoai has been haunting in her heart.
"Okay, then I'll give you an answer now. Zhou Ye has a crush on you, it's true. It's just that he is bound by his family, and after the end of one political marriage, there is naturally another waiting for him.
It's just that he has to struggle in this, he wants to be able to jump out of this shackle after the end of the first paragraph, and wants to renew the relationship with you, but he didn't expect him to pursue you without success, and you also rejected him completely, and now he has no way, and there is no more reason to refuse the arrangement given to him by the family, so more than a year after the death of his ex-wife should also be the best time to get out of the haze, so the second marriage followed. β
Xu Xiaoai's eyelashes trembled: "You mean that I am actually just his spare tire, if he can catch up with me, it will only be for the sake of fulfilling his wishes, and he will eventually accept the family's arrangement to marry a married woman." β
Xu Xiaoai's eyes were obviously injured, and her nails dug into her palms: "If I hadn't rejected him, I might have experienced a second injury, right?" β
Chu Yu looked at Xu Xiaoai with some distress: "I can't say that completely, maybe he will fight with you for the family's arrangement after he reconciles with you, but after he accepts it for the first time, do you think he can refuse the second time?" β
Xu Xiaoai's fists clenched tighter, she suddenly felt a little sympathy for Zhou Ye, he would never be able to live according to his own wishes, family was his biggest responsibility and burden, looking at his unattainable family status, but he had no freedom, he couldn't do whatever he wanted, and he didn't even have the right to choose his lover. @*~~..
"It's good that you pulled away from him, otherwise Xiao Ai, judging by how you felt about him before, I'm afraid you will have a second stress reaction."
Chu Yu stepped forward and hugged Xu Xiaoai: "Although I am your nominal husband now, I still have the title of husband, I hope my wife is healthy and beautiful and happy, and I don't want you to be disturbed by anything about him." If he can bring you happiness, maybe I will support you, but if he just brings you harm one at a time, I hope to be completely removed from the bottom of your heart. β
Xu Xiaoai snuggled into his arms: "Chu Yu, thank you, I think my heart knot can be untied slowly, fortunately I didn't promise him before, he is still the same Zhou Ye as before, and he has never changed." β
When people are most melancholy and hesitant, it is enough to have a warm embrace!
And Chu Yu is now her reliance, Xu Xiaoai closed her eyes, slowly emptied her thoughts, and reached out to hug Chu Yu, which was very strong, very broad, and very reassuring.

"Mom, you're pushing me. I would never be engaged to her, I have the woman I love. "Zhou Ye's parents had arrived here a few days ago and lived in Zhou Ye's big villa.
"Son, this is the most suitable girl we have chosen for you and the best girl for our family. The most important thing is that it is enough for her to like you very much, you know, as a man, you will be much happier to marry a woman who loves you than to marry a woman you love. β
This is the most painful place for Zhou Ye, the pressure on him from his parents is too great, and the burden on his whole body is like a heavy shell, making him breathless.
"From childhood to adulthood, I have studied hard according to your arrangement, worked hard to improve, and became a qualified successor of the family. And when our family was in crisis, I also shouldered this burden and married my ex-wife. Now that our family is on the right track, why should we get married? Can't I even keep the right to a lover? β
This is what Zhou Ye really thought, he safeguarded the interests of his family, married a woman he didn't love, spent three years together, and finally escaped from the shackles of that marriage, and his parents forced him to embark on another path without love.
"Son, don't be stupid, I know that the girl you like is already married. Do you think she'll divorce you? Wake up, even if she divorces you, what kind of help can she bring to our family, she is a child of an ordinary people's family, with no background, no identity, and no help for our family, what's the use of you marrying her? β
This is Zhou Ye's mother, the mother who almost made this son collapse, and what she instilled in him since he was a child is that marriage is just a thing that exists for the benefit of the family.
"Son, if you really like her, and she is willing to follow you, then you can let her be your lover, but your genuine wife must be a person in our family circle, otherwise we will not be able to get by on our face, and there will be no better development for your own future. After several generations of accumulation in our family, to this current foundation, do you want to let it gradually decay? β
The background was instilled in him by his mother from childhood to adulthood, and these generations can only continue to work hard to continue their family's wealth, but his innate education has been affected by his own feelings, and that girl is better than any woman in the family, and she is the girl he really likes.
"Mom, can you please not force me, I really don't want to marry another girl I don't like."
Zhou Ye's mother was not in a hurry at all, she sat on the sofa and took a sip of the hot tea in her hand: "Son, only this family is the most important, you must find a virtuous helper who can assist the family in the future, hasn't the tribulation that our family has gone through before given you the most profound lesson?" You also know the girl you chose this time, she liked you very much since she was a child, but later she went abroad to study, and she cried for three days and three nights when she heard that you were married, and now I heard that you are divorced and will come back as soon as you finish your studies abroad, you say that this girl can do this to you, are you still not satisfied? β
Zhou's mother said that this girl Zhou Ye has known since she was a child, and she should be said to be a childhood sweetheart, but he has never given this girl any identity other than his sister, and the two have been separated since he was in high school, and he never thought that this sister next door could become his future wife. @
"Mom, where can emotional things be forced? Before, it was for the crisis at home, and I really had no choice but to give up Xiao Ai, and now that I have finally regained my freedom, do you still want me to lose her? β
Zhou's mother put the teacup on the coffee table, and said to Zhou Ye with a straight face: "She is married and has a very good husband, do you want to be that third party?" Do you want to ruin your great future on her? If you do such an immoral thing, how many people will spit on you, and your future will be ruined, haven't you thought about it? β
This is also the most uncomfortable place for Zhou Ye at the moment, he has no way to pursue Xu Xiaoai with great fanfare, because she has.
On the surface, he is a married man.
"Mom, give me some more time. Error-free update @ I believe she loves me and she will divorce for me. β
The word divorce is easy to say, but Zhou Ye knows that it is another mountain. Xu Xiaoai rejected him very clearly, and he had no intention of divorcing at all, and now it was just his wishful thinking.
Zhou's mother sneered: "Son, you are confused again, is a divorced woman worthy of your treatment, even if she used to be your first love, but now that she is a wife, what do you expect from her?" Maybe she will give birth to a child in two days, how can a divorced woman enter our house, don't you make us laugh at the whole circle? β
Zhou Ye was a little desperate, he leaned back on the sofa, silent, he knew that his parents were very strong, they had been like this since childhood, he had no way to change them, from his parents' point of view, the decisions they made were all right, they were all for the sake of this family.
"That's it, Xin'er will be back soon, she is here to get engaged to you, and her family is very satisfied with you, you take advantage of this time to cultivate your relationship."
This Xin'er is Zhou Ye's childhood sweetheart's sister next door, Lin Xin'er, and the news that Zhou Ye is going to get engaged was also released by Zhou's mother in advance, and it has already spread throughout his family circle.
In Zhou's mother's eyes, now that Zhou Ye has a successful career and their family's business is stable, the most important thing is that they also need to have a stable and powerful marriage in order to make their family's life stable for a long time, and the girl Zhou Ye likes is not in their circle and has long been excluded.
It's okay to play, who hasn't had a first love? She believes that Zhou Ye will focus on the overall situation and will not do that kind of stupid thing that is carried away by feelings, besides, the other party is married, what else can I think? .
