Chapter 8 Playing with feelings hurts others and hurts oneself
Youqing didn't know what Xiao Hechuan was doing, and why she had been there for so long, she was embarrassed to ask, and when she heard Xiao Hechuan say that she was leaving, she followed him out very obediently.
The night outside was already dark, the night wind was blowing a little cold on the body, Youqing was sneezed when the wind blew, Xiao Hechuan heard it, so he took off his coat and put it on Youqing, Youqing was a little uneasy, and wanted to avoid his hand, but then I thought about it, I was still a child in Xiao Hechuan's eyes, and it looked hypocritical.
The two got into the car, and after returning to the Overseer's Mansion, Youqing and Xiao Hechuan said goodbye and walked quickly towards the main building.
She was actually a little worried in her heart, for fear that her mother would ask her where she had gone so late, and she also thought about whether to let Uncle Nine talk to her mother, but when she walked through the garden to the main building, she saw that the lights in the main building had all been extinguished, only the corridor was still lit with two night lights, and the hall was empty, no one was waiting for her, and no one asked her why she came back so late.
Youqing looked at the dark hall, all her worries became redundant at this moment, she felt that she was quite funny, in this huge Overseer's Mansion, in fact, there was no difference between having one more of her or one less of her.
Early morning.
Xiao Hechuan started early this day and went to his mother's yard to say goodbye.
Mrs. Xiao is in her sixties this year, and she was also a generation of beauties when she was young, Xiao Yuanchuan and Xiao Hechuan's eyebrows and eyes are quite similar to their mothers, Xu is rich and noble, Mrs. Xiao looks much younger than her actual age, although her figure is a little fat, but it makes her look more amiable than when she was young.
"Mother." Xiao Hechuan entered the house loudly, and saw that Mrs. Xiao was sitting at the table with breakfast, and when he came in, several grandmothers and maids bowed to him.
"Get up." Xiao Hechuan commanded and sat down beside his mother.
Old Mrs. Xiao glanced at her son and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for the past few days, where did you go crazy?" β
"Don't wronged me, I'm going to break my legs in order to raise military salaries for a while." Xiao Hechuan complained to his mother, he was an old man, he was deeply loved by his mother since he was a child, and he was more casual than the respect of his eldest brother when he faced his mother.
"Go and serve a bowl of soup to the ninth master." Old Mrs. Xiao and the grandmother on the side commanded.
"You still hurt me." Xiao Hechuan laughed.
"I'm not too young, and I haven't been in shape all day," Old Lady Xiao's eyes were full of love, "I think it's better to hurry up and ask a young grandmother to come back and take care of you." β
Xiao Hechuan was almost choked by the soup, but he couldn't cry or laugh, "My mother-in-law, you have to mention this every time you meet, are you tired?" β
"Every time I mention this to you, you give me a sloppy look, when your eldest brother is as old as you, there are Wen Jie and Wen Yue, you can look at you again," Mrs. Xiao persuaded her younger son bitterly, "When you become a family, you will be an adult, and your temperament will be stable." β
Xiao Hechuan has always been free and easy, and he doesn't want to ask a young grandmother to come back to restrain himself, but some of his brothers are married, and if they want to shout out for a drink, their wives will nod, and they will become timid when they spend money, and they will have to report to their wives at the end of the month, and he can't stand this kind of day.
Of course, there are also some free lovers, but most of them are playing, people like them have to listen to the family's arrangements for marriage, Xiao Hechuan understands this, in social occasions, it is rare to meet some ladies and actresses, drama movie stars, and a group of people eat and watch movies together, but in private he never had the mind to go further, he didn't want to play, he always felt that playing with feelings hurt others and himself.
Although he didn't want to play, he didn't want to follow the family's arrangement and marry someone he didn't like.
He was thinking in his heart, and just thought of finding some reason to prevaricate his mother, he heard Mrs. Xiao say again, "Two days ago, Mrs. Qin came to be a guest, saying that their little girl came back from studying abroad last month, and you and Miss Qin played together when they were children, you were naughty, and you also twisted the braids of other people's little girls, causing me and Mrs. Qin to pay for their sins for a long time." β
Xiao Hechuan raised his eyebrows, a little weak-hearted, "Why don't I remember?" β
"You did a lot of bad things when you were a child, you don't remember, my mother remembers!" Old Madam Xiao glared at her son and said categorically, "I told Mrs. Qin that she would bring Miss Qin to our house in two days to sit down, and you will make room for me at that time, and you will not be allowed to go anywhere, do you hear?" β
Xiao Hechuan complained bitterly in his heart, but looking at his mother's appearance, he was obviously serious, he thought about it, and finally nodded, "Cheng, it's good that you are always happy." β
Without waiting for Old Lady Xiao to smile, Xiao Hechuan said again, "If Miss Qin and I don't have an eye for each other, don't force a match." β
"People haven't seen it yet, how do you know that you don't have eyes?" Old Mrs. Xiao looked at Xiao Hechuan and Yin Yin advised, "When the time comes, clean up and take away your temperament, you can't be rude in front of Miss Qin." β
Xiao Hechuan answered casually twice, and it was easy to get out of his mother's yard, he took two puffs of cigarette with some irritability, and simply let the driver drive the car and drove towards the barracks.
On this day, school ended early, there were no classes in the afternoon, and it was noon when you returned to the Overseer's Mansion, and the scorching sun was in the sky, which was the most sunny-time of the day.
Jincheng is located in the northwest, although the weather is cool, but the sun at noon is unbearable, Youqing is in a hurry, just want to hurry back to the house.
As she passed through the hallway, she heard someone shouting her name.
"Ruan Youqing?"
Youqing stopped her steps and saw a girl coming out of the corridor, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with bright facial features, exquisite clothes, and an air of arrogance all over her body.
Youqing knew her, and shouted, "Second sister." β
A hint of contempt appeared on the corners of Xiao Wenya's lips, "Who allowed you to call me that?" Call me sister, you deserve it too? β
Youqing silently grabbed the shoulder strap on her schoolbag and said nothing.
This Xiao Wenya is the daughter of Xiao Mingchuan, the second master of the Xiao family, and she also goes to school in the Chinese and Western Girls' High School, but she is one year higher than Youqing, and she will graduate from the Girls' High School next month.
Although she has the word "elegant" in her name, she is not very elegant, but acts arbitrarily, whether at school or at home, she often scolds her subordinates, and because she has just gotten engaged to the son of the Ma family not long ago, she rarely goes to school for a while, and she plays with her fiancΓ© all day long.
