Chapter 43 I hope you will take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage
The New Year passed quickly, especially after Old Man Xie postponed his return.
The two always feel that they don't have much time to spend alone together, so they are almost tired of being together outside of work.
The weather in Jiangcheng warmed up in March, and the ice on the seaside plank road gradually began to melt. Jowen sat on the balcony and enjoyed a rare sunbath.
At this time, Xie Zhengyu, who answered the phone, walked out of the study and sat beside her and surrounded her.
"What's wrong?"
"Grandpa and Mom and Dad will be home next Wednesday."
Qiao Wen couldn't hear Xie Zhengyu's tone, she had already prepared for this day, and she would still come.
"Hmm." It's Sunday, so there's only three days left: "What time do they arrive?" ”
"It's probably afternoon."
"I have class on Wednesday, so I can't pick them up with you."
Xie Zhengyu's eyes were a little sunburned, and he simply turned his head sideways: "Okay, I'll pick you up at night." As he spoke, he dropped a kiss on Jowen's head.
"Okay."
Qiao Wen's body was constantly faintly scented, such a fragrance had a fatal attraction to Xie Zhengyu, he lowered his head and buried himself in Qiao Wen's neck, greedily enjoying this olfactory feast alone.
"Wen Wen." After a while, Xie Zhengyu raised his head again: "There is something I want to talk to you about." ”
"What's the matter?"
"I'm going to go to Wu's house in the evening."
After saying this, he obviously felt Qiao Wen's body pause.
"Yes, do you need me to accompany you?" Qiao Wen's voice was a little astringent, but she didn't really want to step into it again.
"I can go by myself, I have something to say to Wu Cheng, and it has nothing to do with Wu Qingwan."
His explanation made Qiao Wen breathe a sigh of relief: "Okay. Then Qiao Wen turned around: "Actually, you can do whatever you want, you don't have to report to me for everything, I believe in you, so I won't doubt you." ”
Xie Zhengyu looked at Qiao Wen's bright eyes and suddenly smiled: "Then are you willing to tell me the secret that you have been hiding in your heart now?" ”
Again, Jowen froze.
She lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look at Xie Zhengyu's eyes: "I... I haven't figured out how to tell you yet. ”
An imperceptible hint of disappointment flashed in the man's eyes, and Qiao Wen lowered his head and didn't see it at all.
Xie Zhengyu didn't intend to force her to say it: "It's okay, when you're ready, tell me when you want to say it." ”
But such comforting words did not make Qiao Wen raise his eyes, he looked down from above, and could only see Qiao Wen's long eyelashes trembling.
"Wen Wen?"
"I'm sorry, you're disappointed, aren't you?" Qiao Wen asked in a low voice.
The man reached out and lifted Qiao Wen's chin and made her look at herself: "Wen Wen, I am indeed a little disappointed. However, this is a very normal emotion, and you don't have to blame yourself. Everyone has secrets in their hearts, and it's normal for people not to want to tell them. ”
"Xie Zhengyu, you will really spoil me like this." Jowen looked at him with love in his eyes.
"I said I would. Wen Wen, you can do whatever you want with me, I won't force you. ”
"Okay, I'll tell you when you break the engagement."
Qiao Wen was afraid that he would be angry if he told Xie Zhengyu now, and would think that he was just a tool for himself to take revenge on Wu Cheng's family, and it would not be counterproductive if the marriage contract was not dissolved at that time.
But, when the marriage contract is dissolved, tell him that even if he hates himself, he will find a better girl to spend the rest of his life with.
Only in this way will it be possible to minimize the damage to him.
Xie Zhengyu looked at Qiao Wen's flickering eyes and smiled dotingly: "Why do you still cry for such a small thing?" ”
Qiao Wen shook his head: "What's the matter, it's obvious that the eyes are in the dust." ”
"Oh? So I'll help you take a look? Saying that, Xie Zhengyu leaned down, and Qiao Wen immediately dodged to the side.
"Hmph, I won't let you see it." With that, she stood up and ran to her room.
Looking at Qiao Wen's cheerful back, Xie Zhengyu also smiled with relief, but soon his smile faded.
Because he knew that if he wanted to keep this happiness forever, he needed to act now.
Cutting through the mess quickly is the best way.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Xie Zhengyu came to Wu's house alone.
His arrival surprised everyone.
"Zheng, Brother Zhengyu?" Wu Qingwan couldn't believe that he would appear at her house at this time.
Li Bixia reacted and hurriedly got up: "Zhengyu is here?" Quick, sit down, have you had dinner? I asked my aunt to ......"
"No need, I'm here to find Uncle Wu."
As soon as his words fell, the mother and daughter looked at Wu Cheng.
Wu Cheng frowned slightly: "Oh, that's it, then let's go to the study." ”
Xie Zhengyu nodded at Li Bixia and followed Wu Cheng to the study.
"Mom, is Brother Zhengyu here because of that incident a year ago?"
Wu Qingwan was going to hate her father to death, she just wanted him to be angry with herself and go to Qiao Wen for trouble, she never thought that her father would find trouble with Xie Zhengyu, as soon as this incident happened, she made trouble at home for a long time, and it was also because of this incident that she had not contacted Xie Zhengyu, for fear of offending him again.
"It's okay, there's your dad. I'll ask when they're done. ”
The two sat opposite each other in the study, and Wu Cheng picked up the purple clay pot in front of him: "This is the Tieguanyin I just bought two days ago, you can taste it." ”
Xie Zhengyu didn't make any movement when he looked at the tea flowing down the spout, and he didn't speak until the teacup was full of tea.
"Uncle Wu's recent projects are okay?"
Wu Cheng held the kettle for a moment, then put the kettle on the table and sneered: "Shouldn't you know this matter best?" ”
"Uncle Wu, everyone is a businessman, and the Xie family you are interested in is naturally interested." He picked up the cup and tasted it, it was indeed a good tea.
"Zhengyu, you and I are world friends, does your grandfather know that you do this?"
"Uncle said with a smile, the Xie family is already in my hands, and I naturally don't need grandpa's permission to do anything." He put down the cup and smiled: "Besides, didn't my uncle invite me into this game?" ”
"Zhengyu!" Wu Cheng's face was a little unbearable.
"What, uncle is annoyed?"
"Qingwan is wholeheartedly devoted to you, but you have failed her for the sake of a wild seed, how can I, as a father, sit idly by?"
"Uncle!" Xie Zhengyu's face instantly sank when he heard the word 'wild seed', and his voice also cooled: "Please pay attention to the wording." ”
Wu Cheng realized that he had said the wrong thing, and his tone lowered: "Zhengyu, it's okay for a woman outside to play, but you can't let her disturb your mind." ”
"It seems that Uncle Wu is really old, and he really doesn't have the grace to speak now." As he spoke, he plucked out his ears: "Or did you use this to play with women outside before, and then married ......?"
"Enough!" Xie Zhengyu's words stung Wu Cheng completely, and he stood up and stretched out his hand to point at Xie Zhengyu regardless of his image and told him to stop.
Wu Cheng's reaction made Xie Zhengyu a little strange, but he didn't show it, just sat there quietly and drank tea.
"Let me tell you, Xie Zhengyu, don't go too far, our Wu family is not something you can bully if you want to."
This sentence made Xie Zhengyu laugh: "Uncle Wu, when did I say that I was going to bully your Wu family?" I'm just doing what every businessman does, businessmen, the biggest profits, aren't they? ”
As he spoke, he also stood up: "By the way, I forgot to remind you." The Wu family, no, it should be that the Li family is no longer the Li family of the past, and it can be easily annexed as long as I want to. Now, I'm not doing that, I just want you to understand that I'm giving you a chance. ”
"What chance?"
"Take the initiative to go to my grandfather and talk about the opportunity to get out of the marriage."
Wu Cheng sneered: "Hmph, divorce? Don't think about it, we will never take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage. ”
Xie Zhengyu was not surprised by Wu Cheng's answer, he actually thought that Wu Cheng would not agree, but he always had to give it a try.
He straightened his clothes and then said casually: "In this case, I don't have anything to say, but I have canceled this marriage." He walked to the door and was about to open the door when he stopped: "Since I have decided to withdraw from the marriage, I am ready to tear my face, so I will never show mercy when I see you in the mall in the future, and I hope to do it myself." ”
After speaking, he opened the door and left, and when he went downstairs, he still had a cold face, turned a deaf ear to Li Bixia and Wu Qingwan's talk, and left the Wu family directly.
Seeing Xie Zhengyu leaving, the two hurriedly ran upstairs.
"Dad, what did Brother Zhengyu say?"
Wu Cheng's face was also extremely ugly, and he turned his head to look at his daughter: "Qingwan, Dad asked you, do you have to marry Xie Zhengyu?" ”
Wu Qingwan was stunned: "What's wrong?" ”
"You just say, don't you?"
"Yes, I just don't marry him."
"Okay, then don't ask anything, wait to be your bride."
Wu Cheng crossed his wife and daughter and went straight down, this matter can only start from Old Man Xie, and only he can make a move to keep the Wu family's property while letting Qingwan marry into the Xie family.
This time, Xie Zhengyu is serious.
On the way back, Xie Zhengyu dialed Zhang Qin's phone.
"How many projects are still under negotiation in the Wu family?"
Zhang Qin didn't know why his boss was so interested in the Wu family's projects recently, but as a part-time worker, he still figured out all the projects of the Wu family: "There are 7 more." ”
"Okay, pick 5 at random, and let the subsidiary make a move."
Zhang Qin was stunned for a moment: "Five? Didn't you just intercept 3 of them? ”
"I don't understand what I'm saying?"
"Yes, yes, I'll do it right away when I go to work tomorrow."
"And keep an eye on Wu Cheng, tell me if anything is wrong."
"Yes."
Hung up the phone Xie Zhengyu smiled evilly, the show has just begun, we are not in a hurry, take your time.
The next day, Qiao Wen received a call from Xie Zhengyu just after the end of his morning class.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"Grandpa, they're back."
Qiao Wen frowned: "Didn't you mean Wednesday?" ”
"They came back early, I'll pick you up in the evening and take you back to the courtyard for dinner."
"Okay, then they ......"
"It's okay, they don't know, you just pretend you don't know."
"Okay."
Qiao Wen hung up the phone, panicking for no reason.
This panic has been with her when she returns to the other hospital.
When she walked into the room with Xie Zhengyu, she heard a burst of laughter.
The two came to the restaurant and saw that the Wu family also came.
Wu Qingwan sat beside Grandpa Xie and looked at herself with a smug expression: "Wenwen, are you back?" ”
