Chapter 40: It's still this far

In the fourth year of junior high school, the Xie family finally calmed down.

Old Man Xie refused all the guests who came to the door, but the dinner was still rich, because it was the last night that Xie Zhengyu and Qiao Wen stayed in Haicheng.

"Wen Wen, my aunt and uncle won't go back until after fifteen, and you still live in the house on Huaibei Road in Zhengyu first."

"Okay."

Luo Weiyi looked at her son again: "You have to take care of Wen Wen, if she loses weight again, I will ask you." ”

"Got it, Mom."

At this time, Old Man Xie put down his chopsticks: "Xiaoyu, go back and see your Uncle Wu and Aunt, I have to visit you after the New Year." ”

Xie Zhengyu's face sank, and then he also put down his chopsticks: "I know grandpa." ”

His expression was seen by Father Xie, and Xie Chen simply put down his chopsticks: "Xiaoyu, after eating, come with me to the study, Dad has something to tell you." ”

"Yes."

Seeing the two of them get up, Qiao Wen suddenly left, and had a bad premonition.

"You eat slowly, I'll go out for a walk." Saying that, Old Man Xie also left.

There were only two people left in the restaurant, Qiao Wen and Luo Weiyi, but at this time, Qiao Wen couldn't eat, she always felt that something was going to happen, and the uneasiness in her heart became more and more intense.

"Wen Wen."

Qiao Wen looked up: "Huh? ”

Luo Weiyi's expression was a little serious: "Wen Wen, Auntie asked you something." ”

"You say."

"Zhengyu... Zhengyu: Is there anything going on with him lately? ”

Luo Weiyi's question surprised Qiao Wen: "Love... Condition? ”

"That is, is there any other woman around him?"

Luo Weiyi asked directly, and Qiao Wen's face instantly turned pale.

β€œβ€¦ I do not know. Her eyes were a little flustered, and she immediately lowered her head to drink the soup in the bowl to cover herself.

Luo Weiyi didn't notice anything, but said helplessly: "Yes, even if he has it, he won't let you know." Then her eyes rolled as if she thought of something: "Wen Wen, do Auntie a favor." ”

"What's the busy?"

"You live in Zhengyu, you tell me what is going on with him as soon as possible."

"Thisβ€”" Jowen was a little embarrassed.

Luo Weiyi continued: "It seems that Zhengyu has a woman by his side, and he has to break the marriage contract for that woman, isn't he crazy?" Will you just promise Auntie? ”

"But... What if Brother Zhengyu really likes that person? ”

Qiao Wen asked cautiously, but Luo Weiyi seemed to have heard some joke: "Zhengyu's marriage was set by him when he was a child, and he himself knew about it, and he never objected to it before." What's the use of liking now? ”

Luo Weiyi's words poured on her body like cold rain in winter, and every inch of her skin froze into ice at this time, making it impossible for her to move and breathe.

"Wen Wen." Luo Weiyi held Qiao Wen's hand: "You will help Auntie, right?" ”

Qiao Wen raised his eyes to look at those eyes full of anticipation, and nodded mechanically unconsciously.

"Great, Wen Wen, Auntie is counting on you." Luo Weiyi happily filled another bowl of soup and put it in front of Qiao Wen: "Drink more." ”

And Qiao Wen only felt that the bowl of soup was like poison, and he couldn't touch it and couldn't drink it.

She turned her head to look in the direction of the study, she knew that Xie Zhengyu should be facing a more difficult situation than herself at this time. Qiao Wen was more worried about him than himself, and this game was finally broken.

The day finally came.

In the study, Xie Chen sat down at the chess table: "Come, accompany my father to play a game of chess." ”

Xie Zhengyu sat opposite his father, and the chess game between the two officially began.

Actually, his chess game is not very good.

When he was a child, he always watched his father play chess with his grandfather, but he didn't like it.

He always felt that playing chess was not a pastime, nor was it a game. Moreover, in a step-by-step war, both sides must constantly figure out each other's ideas, and they must also have the ability to look at the overall situation.

The same is true for shopping malls.

He's exhausted and doesn't want to get too involved in these laborious games.

"Xiaoyu, you lost." Xie Chen ate his last chess piece: "You are distracted." ”

"It's my father's superb chess skills, and I'm ashamed of myself."

"It's one thing to be bad at chess, but it's also true that you're distracted."

Xie Zhengyu put away the chess pieces and did not speak.

Father Xie continued: "Grandpa has already told me about you. ”

In fact, Xie Zhengyu had already guessed it, so he was not too surprised.

"Xiaoyu, you have been very sensible since you were a child, and your mother and I have never worried about anything. But this thing, you can't do. ”

"Dad." Xie Zhengyu raised his head: "I only insist on this matter." ”

"Once, I had no heart and only thought about work, and it didn't matter who I married. But now it's different, I already have someone I like, and Wu Qingwan must not marry. ”

"Xiaoyu." Xie Chen sighed lightly: "If your Grandpa Li, who is Qingwan's grandfather, is still alive, there is still room for this matter, but now as long as your grandfather is still there, this marriage contract will definitely not be annulled." ”

Xie Zhengyu's hand clenched: "Dad, I can take a step back in anything, but I will never compromise on this matter." ”

"You!" Xie Chen has never seen his son like this, he has followed the rules since he was a child, and knows what to do and what not to do. He has never contradicted himself, and this time he did it for the sake of a woman.

"Xiaoyu, there is absolutely no room for maneuver in this matter. I can respect your idea, but grandpa won't. I could not have found out everything about the girl, but Grandpa wouldn't. He stood up: "If you really want to fight with the family over that girl, then I will be on Grandpa's side." ”

"Dad, you also had your own insistence back then, didn't you? Why, why don't you understand it when you come to me? ”

"Career is not the same as love. Xiaoyu, I chose to engage in politics in the final analysis, it is still useful to the Xie family, but if you want to repent of your marriage, it will do no harm to the Xie family, do you understand? ”

"Dad, does everything have to be measured like this?"

"Xiaoyu, you are a businessman, you should know more about this matter than I do."

After saying that, Xie Chen opened the door and left, he didn't really want to force his son to do anything, but what he had to do between the two of them, it was already advice.

Xie Zhengyu looked at his father's back and closed his eyes, it seemed that this battle was even more difficult than he imagined.

On this night, everyone slept a lot of dreams and had a lot of worries.

On the morning of the fifth day of the new year, Xie Zhengyu and Qiao Wen had breakfast and rushed to the airport.

Before leaving, Old Man Xie specially called Xie Zhengyu to the study and said a few words.

Qiao Wen didn't know what they said, but she guessed that it must be something bad, because after Xie Zhengyu came out, he frowned until he got on the plane.

Finally, the plane took off.

Jowen reached out and took the man's hands.

Xie Zhengyu turned his head to look at Qiao Wen, trying to squeeze out a smile.

But Qiao Wen reached out and pressed the corner of his mouth down: "Don't force a smile. ”

"Did something happen?"

The man shook his head: "No, it's just some things in the company, you don't have to worry." ”

Qiao Wen stared at him for a long time, then nodded, "That's good, but you shouldn't be too tired." ”

"Well, let's rest for a while."

The atmosphere between the two was a little low during the whole flight, one was silent and the other was sad.

Finally, the two returned home.

Qiao Wen cleaned up and went to take a hot shower, and when she came out, she went straight to Xie Zhengyu's room.

In the room, Xie Zhengyu was wiping his hair.

"Tired or not?" He saw her come and put down the towel and reached out to hug her.

Qiao Wen sat on the man's lap, she looked at his face carefully, and then reached out to smooth his frowning brow.

"Grandpa, uncle, and aunt all know about it, right?"

Qiao Wen visibly felt the man's body stiffen.

"Because they know, that's why you're doing this, right?"

Xie Zhengyu met Qiao Wen's eyes: "Wen Wen..."

"You want to ask me what I know, don't you?" She left Xie Zhengyu's embrace, picked up the towel just now, and then continued to dry his hair: "Auntie said let me help keep an eye on you to see who that woman is." ”

Xie Zhengyu grabbed Qiao Wen's hand: "When did I tell you?" His voice was a little urgent.

"Yesterday when you were called to the study by your uncle."

"Why didn't you tell me right away?"

Qiao Wen withdrew his hand without a trace, and then sat down beside him: "It's not too late to say. ”

"Uncle and grandpa both know you're going to get out of the marriage, right? They didn't agree, did they? ”

Xie Zhengyu was silent.

"They're resolute, aren't they?" Qiao Wen continued.

"Wenwen, give me a little more time. I just brought it up, and it's normal for them to oppose it. As long as I am resolute, I will definitely change their opinion, definitely. ”

Qiao Wen chuckled: "Of course I believe you. ”

"Wenwen, you have to promise me one thing."

"What's the matter?"

"Be firm, no matter what obstacles we encounter."

Qiao Wen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Okay." ”

As long as I can get you to break the engagement, I will be sure.

"Wenwen, let's be careful when we go out from today."

"What's wrong?"

"Grandpa may send someone to investigate, although we will have to face them sooner or later, but according to the current situation, if we can hide it for a while, we can hide it for a while."

Qiao Wen knew his concerns, and she didn't want to expose them so quickly, so she agreed quickly.

Immediately, Xie Zhengyu hugged Qiao Wen in his arms again, and the two looked out the window with their own thoughts.

The hardest part of the road has finally come.

Qiao Wen had actually been prepared, but when it came, he would still be a little flustered.

Grandpa Xie, a person who is not angry and self-assured, she is not sure that she can deal with it.

Although she and Wu Qingwan are both Wu Cheng's daughters, they are different after all.

"Chen Ke sent a message earlier and wanted to ask us to have dinner together." Suddenly, Xie Zhengyu's voice came from the top of his head.

"Chen Ke?" Qiao Wen sat up straight: "Will Sister Ning also come?" ”

"Yes. Together, we're together. ”

"Okay, Sister Zining is sick and I don't know how she is now, so I can greet her face to face tomorrow."

Qiao Wen was silent for a moment and then said, "Are they really back together?" ”

"When we see you tomorrow, you can ask in person."

Suddenly, Qiao Wen smiled: "The results you asked me to wait and see will be revealed tomorrow?" ”

"No, Wen Wen, if you don't get married, it won't be a result. They're only halfway there. ”
