Chapter 9 Catch the ducks on the shelves

Grandfather Lu Tianxiong answered her doubts: "Good baby, you are really forgetful!" Have you forgotten the farewell banquet that your brother Lin held before he went abroad eight years ago? In front of our two elders, he personally asked you if you would like to marry him. ”

"That's right, that's right! My son proposed in public, Xiaoying, you agreed in person at the time, this can't be denied, right? Besides, this is also my father's last wish. Chairman Mu helped, looking a little eager.

Lu Yingru was struck by lightning, and she looked confused!!

That almost forgotten memory instantly unveiled the veil of mystery in her mind, and she even trembled in her voice: "Eight years ago? How do I remember...... It was Brother Lin who snatched my Coke, took a pull tab, and put it on my hand...... I thought he was joking with me and casually agreed...... Isn't that just a joke? Who's going to take it seriously? ”

"Grandpa...... Is this an engagement? ”

"Uncle Mu...... This...... Wouldn't it be too child's play? ”

Lu Ying's heart was a little broken!

Father Lu Nanxing retorted unhappily: "Girl! The friendship between our two families is here, and of course parents want to be close to each other. What's more, you and Tianlin grew up together since childhood, and they have been childhood sweethearts since childhood. Eight years ago, Tianlin bought a diamond ring and sent it to our house as a token. ”

And diamond rings?

Lu Ying didn't know at all, and could no longer hide the extreme shock in her heart, so she could only look at her father blankly and take out a brocade box.

Syllable!

The brocade box is opened!

Mu Tianlin took it, held the sparkling diamond ring in the box, knelt on one knee, and said affectionately, but there was no joy on his face.

"Sister Ying, eight years ago, I asked you: When I return from school, would you like to marry me? You smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'm waiting for Brother Lin to marry!" ”

"Now, I'm here to make good on my promise!"

"At that time, you were still young, forget it, or take it as a joke, today I will formally propose to you in front of the elders."

"Sister Ying, would you like to marry me?"

……

……

Mu Tianlin chose an excellent time, and Lu Ying was stunned!

What's going on?

The current situation is completely unexpected, and it is ...... Outrageous! Why do you suddenly have the illusion of chasing ducks to the shelves and being forced to marry by two patriarchs?

Willing?

Don't want to?

In her twenty-two years of life, she has no experience in love, and Brother Lin is indeed a childhood sweetheart, growing up together. Brother Lin has been handsome since he was a child, has good studies, good grades, and a good family background, and is also very good to her sister.

When she was young, she also fantasized that she would marry him when she grew up.

However, who would take the jokes of childhood seriously? The girl's dream is about to come true at this moment, but her heart hesitates!

The divorce of her parents hit her hard!

It took her four full years to mend the pain, and the lessons from the past are vivid. For marriage, she is undoubtedly repulsive, and even subconsciously resistant!

Don't say yes?

Promise?

She was a little difficult to ride a tiger for a while, and under the eager attention of the two parents, she felt that she was roasted on the fire.

How to refuse tactfully?

Lu Ying weighed the current situation, and felt that if she didn't agree, the elders of the two families would be very disappointed, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to pass today's hurdle!

"I ...... I ......"

Lu Ying tried not to let herself laugh too stiffly, and tried to brew words: "Isn't Brother Lin developing in the entertainment industry?" So what...... The two of us haven't seen each other in a long time...... Let alone...... I want to focus on my studies first! Right! I'm just a freshman and I don't want to get married so early. ”

There was silence in the room.

The two elders sighed for a while. Lu Tianxiong, the patriarch, wanted to speak several times and stopped. This made Lu Ying feel more and more uneasy.

"It's a sure thing to get married as soon as possible, so that we can hug our grandson and grandson as soon as possible! Getting married won't delay your studies! ”

- This is the urgency of the woman's father, Lu Nanxing.

"That's right! My family Tianlin is 27 years old this year, and it is not good to marry late! ”

- This is the concern of the man's father, Mu Junyao.

Lu Ying closed her eyes in despair.

The reaction of the two parents was exactly what she expected. She couldn't resist it, and with an idea, she hurriedly pulled Mu Tianlin up and gave him frequent looks.

Mu Tianlin understood and smiled gently.

He gently took her left hand, and quickly put the ring between the fingers of her left ring finger, and the diamond ring was obviously larger.

"Dad! Uncle Lu! My contract with the company has not expired, there are many things to be familiar with in the group, and Sister Heying also needs time to slowly cultivate a relationship, so it is better to hold an engagement banquet on the first day, and let everyone know that I am already famous! ”

"Marriage is a major event in life, and there is no rush to it."

"Sister Ying is in graduate school, and she will graduate in four years, I can wait! Wait for her to willingly become the future hostess of the Mu family. ”

Sven is a mature man who exudes charm all over his body.

The two elders naturally wish that the juniors would get married as soon as possible, but they can't stand the united front of the two! The tacit understanding of childhood sweethearts made Mu Tianlin choose to stand on Lu Ying's side. These words seemed to be favoring Lu Ying, but they made people with a heart hear a trace of strangeness.

Chairman Mu took the lead in standing up and strongly objected!

"Silly son! Three years from now you will be a thirty-year-old man, and I will be almost sixty by then, and I will beat your brother...... Now that I have a son under my knees, I can only hold my grandson in the year of the monkey? What's more, what about your brother's flesh and bones? ”

"Good baby!"

Lu Tianxiong also joined the lobbying camp: "You also know the current situation of the Mu family, do you want to think about it again?" Tianlin is indeed not young, your Uncle Mu hugs Sun heartily, even if you graduate from graduate school, you have to marry, it is better to marry early! ”

"What else are you engaged to? I booked it eight years ago, so why bother now? In my opinion, let's discuss the date of the marriage directly! Lu Nanxing plans to make a decision.

"No way!"

When Lu Ying subconsciously shouted out the true thoughts in his heart, everyone looked at him in astonishment. Lu Ying was under a lot of pressure for a while, and she didn't know how to speak.

The parents of the two families mobilized together to stage a scene of forced marriage.

Since she was a child, she has always been a good girl, and the only rebellious time in her life was that after the college entrance examination at the age of eighteen, she changed her will! escaped for four years, used to sew up her heart, heal herself. At this moment, she really wanted to rebel again.

I want to run away from home...... What to do?

The scene was awkward at one point.

Mu Junyao deserved to be a business tycoon, and immediately changed his words: "Cough, look at us, we're fooling around here, and we forgot to consider Xiaoying's feelings." Counting that she is only twenty-two this year, and she has never been in a serious relationship, it is a bit hasty to talk about marriage now. Xiaoying! I'm really sorry, it's all Uncle Mu's inconsiderate thinking and making it difficult for you. ”

Chairman Mu's words were exquisite, but when he thought of the death of his old father and eldest son and daughter-in-law, he couldn't hide his grief, and he burst into tears on the spot.

Lu Ying was suddenly full of guilt: "Uncle Mu......"

Lu Nanxing said suddenly: "If you want me to say, don't hide it as elders, it's better to tell the truth!" My daughter is a sensible person, and I'm sure she won't let us down. ”

Lu Tianxiong was silent and silent, as if acquiescing.

Fact? What is the truth?

Lu Ying chuckled in her heart, she had a bad intuition very strong, her heart was pounding so badly, she was so nervous that her palms were full of cold sweat.

……

East End Lakeside Restaurant.

The two families rarely get together in their busy schedules, and they want to sit down for a meal.

After several waves of communication, the two elders and the two parties each made concessions, and finally unanimously decided: hold a wedding on National Day!

In the private room, the two families discussed how to prepare for the wedding banquet, which guests to invite, whether to invite the media, what dresses to wear for the young couple, and whether it is time to decorate the wedding room in advance......

Lu Ying looked at the diamond ring in his hand blankly, wanting to cry without tears.

Thing...... How could it be...... Turned out like this?

Thing...... How...... Turned out like this?

Why can't she be brave and say firmly "I don't want to get married"? How could she be so cowardly and succumb to the lobbying of the two parents? Does she really want to marry her childhood sweetheart's brother Lin?

The heart is suddenly so chaotic......

Lu Ying didn't listen to half a word about the topics discussed by the two elders, and even the careful and thoughtful care of her "fiancΓ©" Mu Tianlin was indifferent.

I ate a meal absent-mindedly, and the whole person seemed to have lost my soul.

Meal.

Lu Nanxing had the intention to ease the relationship between father and daughter, and took the initiative to say to Lu Tianxiong: "Dad! It's rare for you to come back once, so stay at home tonight! Girl, don't go back to the school dormitory so late, take advantage of the National Day to spend more time with your grandfather. ”

Lu Ying lowered her head and remained silent.

Lu Tianxiong took out everyone's posture and pushed the boat: "I can go home with Ganbao, too!" But we don't want to see any messy women at home. ”

"Ahem...... Lu Nanxing was embarrassed for a while, "No, Dad, I promise!" ”

Lu Nanxing is outside, he is a department-level cadre who holds real power, majestic, and when he arrives in front of his father, he knows that he is at a loss, just like a mouse seeing a cat, especially cowardly!

Seeing this, Mu's father and son naturally looked away.

The two families have a deep relationship, and the reason why Lu Nanxing and Du Ruo divorced that year is said to be that Lu Nanxing had an extramarital affair with a female nurse in the hospital, so that the father and son turned against each other and became increasingly estranged. Regarding this family ugliness, the Mu family father and son are also one of the few insiders.

Lu Ying said: "Brother Lin, we haven't seen each other for a long time, can you accompany me to the lake?" ”

"Xiaoying......" Lu Nanxing wanted to speak and stopped.

"Grandpa Lu! Uncle Lu! I took a walk with my sister Ying, and I personally sent her home later. Second elder, please rest assured! Mu Tianlin played a round game, and Chairman Mu also followed: "Yes, yes, yes, as elders, we should give children more opportunities to be alone." ”

Lu Tianxiong and Lu Nanxing suddenly had nothing to say.

Lu Nanxing accompanied his father Lu Tianxiong and Mu Junyao, and drove away in an RV, leaving the two juniors looking at each other by the lake.

The night is colorful, and the autumn wind is chilly.

Lu Ying was still wearing the camouflage uniform during military training, with a tall figure and a thin waist. But her legs seemed to be unable to take a step, and she looked preoccupied.

"Brother Lin......"

"Something to say? What does Sister Ying want to say? ”

Mu Tianlin pushed the gold-wire glasses and teased with a smile: "I don't remember that year, when we met for the first time, you ran over and pestered your brother to hug you." I sat on my lap with you, but you slyly pouted and kissed me, and naughtily rubbed my face full of saliva. ”

"You're still making fun of me when you're two years old?" Lu Ying was embarrassed and hurriedly changed the topic: "I haven't seen you for eight years, Brother Lin is still the same." ”

"Sister Ying is a female college with eighteen changes, and she is getting better and better!"

Mu Tianlin looked at her seriously, and the beautiful love words came as soon as he opened his mouth: "The little fox who followed me all day long and shouted 'I want to marry Brother Lin when I grow up' has been reborn now, with a smile and a smile, the beauty is suffocating." ”

How can a girl whose feelings are like blank paper withstand such sweet words from a mature man?

Lu Ying's face was red when she heard it!

The fair face was instantly dyed with a flush.

She turned abruptly and walked slowly along the lakeside, to escape her childhood sweetheart's fiery gaze hidden behind her gold-rimmed glasses.

Mu Tianlin smiled slightly and raised his heels.

"Brother Lin, about getting married, I'm actually not ready to ......" Lu Ying felt that there were some things that it would be better to say clearly.

"I'm sorry!" Mu Tianlin suddenly apologized.

"Huh?" Lu Ying was stunned for a moment.

Mu Tianlin: "Four years ago, when Uncle Lu and my aunt divorced, I should have been by your side. Although my aunt and I are not related by blood, my mother died early, and she raised me from a young age. When something like that happened and I wasn't with you, you and your aunt must have been very sad at the time, right? ”

Lu Ying lowered his eyes: "I don't blame you!" You were abroad at that time. ”

This topic, even if things have changed, is still the deepest scar in her heart, and now that it has been nakedly revealed, she realizes that she has not really come out.

Otherwise, how could he ...... with his biological father

Alienated so far?
