When I was sure that Wang Zining was fine, it was already the second year of junior high school.

Jowen sat on the balcony and blew the wind, much more relaxed.

Rarely, she picked up her mobile phone and took a landscape photo and sent it to Moments.

She had just pressed send when she heard a knock on the door.

"Please come in." Jowen got up and went back into his room.

"Miss Joe." The person who came in was the aunt: "Someone downstairs said that they were here to deliver something to you, and said that you must sign for it in person." ”

Qiao Wen was stunned for a moment, and then she thought of what Ling Da said that day, and she looked at her aunt nervously: "Auntie, where is Brother Zhengyu?" ”

"The young master is downstairs."

Qiao Wen was startled and immediately ran downstairs.

On the first floor, Xie Zhengyu was sitting in the living room talking to Xie's father, and he didn't seem to notice this.

Qiao Wen looked at the man standing at the door, and she walked over as lightly as she could: "Hello, I'm Qiao Wen. ”

When the man saw Qiao Wen, he handed out the beautifully packaged box in his hand: "Hello, Miss Qiao. This is a New Year's gift from Mr. Ling, and he said that he wishes you all the best in the New Year. ”

His voice wasn't loud or small, but it was just enough to reach the living room. Qiao Wen subconsciously looked at Xie Zhengyu, and when he saw that he was watching economic news with Xie's father, he immediately took the gift box: "Thank you, I wish him a happy new year." I won't send it if I still have something to do. ”

The man was stunned for a moment, but before he could react, he was pushed out by Qiao Wen.

Seeing him leave, Qiao Wen immediately turned around and went upstairs.

Xie Zhengyu turned his face sideways and saw Qiao Wen's appearance of fleeing in a hurry, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Dad, I'll go upstairs."

Xie Chen didn't think much about it, but just told him to accompany his grandfather for a while.

Xie Zhengyu went upstairs and went straight to Qiao Wen's room.

Qiao Wen was shocked to see the door suddenly opened.

She looked at the visitor: "Why did you come up?" ”

Xie Zhengyu looked at the gift box in front of her and asked instead of answering: "What is it?" ”

"This... It was sent by Lingda. ”

Xie Zhengyu approached: "Oh? How did he know the address of this? ”

"I told him, and he said that he could find out if I didn't say it, so I just said it."

Qiao Wen pushed the gift box out: "I don't know what it is, just so let's take a look at it together." ”

She opened the first layer to reveal a bright yellow box, and then she opened the box, and a classic bag of H family appeared in front of her.

Qiao Wen gasped when he saw the bag, Rao is a person like himself who is not sensitive to luxury goods knows that this bag is expensive, let alone Xie Zhengyu.

"Hmph, he's generous."

Xie Zhengyu's expression made Qiao Wen a little puzzled.

She closed the box again: "This bag is too valuable, I will return it to him when I return to school." ”

"You can stay."

Qiao Wen looked at the man in bewilderment.

"It's a New Year's gift that can be kept."

But Qiao Wen disagreed: "I shouldn't have accepted such a valuable gift from him without agreeing to his pursuit." She paused and said: "The reason why I gave him the address is because we are sisters and brothers in the end, and we always want to see each other when we go back to school. However, I can't afford to pay this gift from him, so I must return it to him. ”

Xie Zhengyu looked at Qiao Wen's serious appearance and smiled: "Our Wen Wen is really a good girl with three views. ”

"That's too numb." Qiao Wen showed a look of disgust: "Don't say such things that are not suitable for you in the future." ”

"Okay."

Saying that, Xie Zhengyu was slightly positive: "I also prepared a New Year's gift for you, and I will give it to you when I return to Jiangcheng." ”

As soon as he heard that he had prepared a gift for himself, Qiao Wen's eyes lit up: "Really? What is it? ”

The man leaned in and whispered in Qiao Wen's ear, "Secret." ”

Then he quickly left a kiss and got up.

Qiao Wen's face immediately turned red: "What should I do if I am seen?" At home, we have to keep our distance. ”

"Oh? Who held me two days ago and was embarrassed? ”

Qiao Wen simply ignored him, picked up the gift box and put it in the closet.

"I'm going to accompany grandpa for a while, it is estimated that there will be guests in another hour, not an important person, if you don't want to go downstairs, don't go, just let Auntie bring you some food."

"Is it also a relative?"

"Partly, there are some friends of my grandfather and father."

Qiao Wen nodded: "Then you go quickly, I'll be ok myself." ”

Leaving Jowen's room, he went upstairs to see his grandfather.

In the room, Mr. Xie was sitting on a rocking chair on the balcony, listening to Peking Opera with his eyes closed, but his hands were beating to the beat.

"Grandpa."

Hearing Xie Zhengyu's voice, the old man opened his eyes, and then sat up straight and turned off the Peking Opera.

"Xiaoyu, come quickly." He poured a cup of brewed tea and gave it to Xie Zhengyu: "Give it." ”

Xie Zhengyu sat next to his grandfather and sipped tea.

"How?"

"It's delicious."

Old Man Xie laughed: "Of course, this is what I fried myself when I went to Nancheng before, of course it is delicious." ”

"Grandpa, it's good to go out and play, but you must pay attention to your body."

"Okay, of course I have to pay attention to my body, when you get married, grandpa will still wait to hold your great-grandson."

Master Xie's words made the smile on Xie Zhengyu's face disappear.

He noticed the change in his grandson, put the cup in his hand on the table and said, "I heard about Pinghu. ”

Xie Zhengyu didn't want to hide it from his grandfather, so it wasn't surprising that his grandfather asked him.

"Why?"

"Wu Cheng made a move first, and I always have to fight back."

"You mean the thing that came to light?" Seeing that his grandson was silent, Old Man Xie continued: "Xiaoyu, when spring comes, let's get engaged to the girl of the Wu family." ”

Xie Zhengyu was stunned: "Grandpa..."

Old Man Xie stretched out his hand to stop Xie Zhengyu, who was about to refute: "Why did Wu Cheng do this, I know, in order not to let your daughter be wronged, it is understandable that people want to beat you in order not to let your daughter be wronged." ”

"Grandpa, you know?" Xie Zhengyu was a little panicked.

"I know, but I don't know who that girl is. I didn't look it up, and I didn't bother to look it up. He turned his head to look at Xie Zhengyu: "Xiaoyu, grandpa knows that you are measured, and the people outside should be cut off, and you can't let her down after waiting for you for so many years." ”

When he knew that Old Man Xie didn't know that it was Qiao Wen, Xie Zhengyu breathed a sigh of relief.

He met his grandfather's eyes and said in a serious voice: "Grandpa, I never asked her to wait for me. The marriage contract was only made by the two patriarchs, and I was never asked for my opinion. In the past, I could just admit it in such a daze, but now, I can't. ”

"Grandpa, I don't like her, and we won't have a future. Over the years, she and I have never been alone, nor have I ever appeared in public to prove the authenticity of this engagement. ”

"Grandpa, I have someone I like now, and I don't want to let her down."

Xie Zhengyu's every word is very firm, and he has never violated any of his grandfather's requirements since he was a child.

But this time, he wanted to go as he pleased.

"Xiaoyu, anything can be discussed, only this matter can't." Old Man Xie's attitude was resolute: "This is what I agreed with Wu Qingwan's grandfather, and now that her grandfather is gone, I can't break this agreement." ”

"Grandpa, in your heart, am I just a tool for you to fulfill your agreement?" Xie Zhengyu's voice was cold, without a trace of warmth. His words were like an ice blade piercing Old Man Xie's heart.

"Presumptuous!" Old Man Xie stood up and glared at Xie Zhengyu angrily: "Who taught you to talk to grandpa like this?" ”

He pointed at Xie Zhengyu and continued: "The marriage is not negotiable, Xiaoyu don't think that you can hide that woman well, as long as I want to find out in less than half a day, if you make a break with her for her good, don't force grandpa to make a move." ”

Xie Zhengyu's anger also reached its peak: "Grandpa, I promise you that if you want to touch her, you will lose your only grandson. I do what I say. ”

"You threaten me?"

"Don't dare, I'm just calmly negotiating conditions with my grandfather." His voice softened: "Grandpa, our family is already strong enough, and we don't need to marry to consolidate our position." ”

"Marriage? If it weren't for Wu Qingwan's grandfather, their family would be worthy of marrying you? ”

"Xiaoyu, Qingwan is a good child, and she can be regarded as your parents who grew up, she is definitely enough for you." Old Man Xie slowly walked towards Xie Zhengyu and put a hand on his shoulder: "Grandpa will never engage in marriage, grandpa hopes you will be happy." ”

"But grandpa, how can I be happy if I don't like her?"

"Feelings can be cultivated."

"What if my feelings have already been put on someone else?"

The grandparents and grandchildren stubbornly confronted each other, and neither of them refused to back down half a point.

Finally, Old Man Xie put down his hand, he turned around and walked towards the house, and soon he said leisurely: "Then take it back." ”

Xie Zhengyu looked at the back of his grandfather leaving, and his hands were clenched.

The first negotiation, he lost.

Predictably lost.

However, he was given useful information.

Grandpa must not be allowed to know that person is Qiao Wen, and the home she has so hard to have cannot be destroyed because of this incident.

This is only the first time, and there will be many more in the future, and the confrontation with grandpa has just begun today.

He sorted out his emotions and went downstairs, only to see that the living room was already full of people.

When everyone saw Xie Zhengyu coming down, they hurriedly greeted him.

"Xiaoyu, come here." Old Man Xie has changed his expression.

"Grandpa." He walked over.

Old Man Xie said to his friend: "This is my grandson, Xie Zhengyu." ”

The man looked at him appreciatively: "Your grandson is even more handsome than you were back then, I heard that the company is also well managed, and there are many projects this year, right?" ”

Old Man Xie smiled: "This is your Grandpa Wang, your Grandpa Wang is a master of calligraphy." ”

"Grandpa Wang."

"When you get engaged, let Grandpa Wang mention the words to you and Qingwan in your new home, and it will also be a good sign."

Old Man Xie's words made Xie Zhengyu frown.

He didn't answer, he just didn't want to stay any longer.

"Grandpa, Grandpa Wang, you talk, I still have something to call back."

"Go, go." Grandpa Wang didn't care, and smiled and asked Xie Zhengyu to go busy with his own affairs.

But Old Man Xie saw his thoughts.

"I'll miss you first." Old Man Xie left the front hall and came to the side hall where his son Xie Chen entertained guests.

"Ah Chen, come on."

Seeing his father coming, Xie Chen hurriedly got up.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"Do you know about Xiaoyu?"
