Fall in love with your enemy

Chapter 124 Forced Marriage

The next time, my mother-in-law suddenly held my hand and said such words. Everyone present, including Gao Xinci, was shocked.

The old man clenched his fists. If he hadn't received nine years of compulsory education, I guess he would have yelled loudly now. The second uncle was okay. Although his face was darkened, fortunately he could still observe the situation calmly, but the younger uncle was not afraid of anything. Not afraid, he immediately asked:

"Oh, what Chairman Gao means is that if our family is unwilling to do so, your family can still rob it?"

The mother-in-law turned back with a smile and narrowed her eyes: "My dear, that's not what I meant. I just want to say that no matter what Shi Shi wants, as long as she is willing to marry Xin Ci and live a good life with him, our family can give her everything."

"That's not necessary. Our Fu family is not as good as the Gao family, but we can't afford to raise our daughter. Even if she wants the stars in the sky, we can pick them ourselves." The younger uncle rolled his eyes.

I took a deep breath and thought to myself that I really didn’t look at the almanac when I went out today!

By the way, in the last life, didn’t everyone wish that I would marry into the Gao family as soon as possible? Although later on, because I got pregnant before I got married, the wedding was not a glamorous one, and the quarrel between the Gao family and the Fu family was unpleasant, but when we were talking about the engagement, I remember the scene was quite harmonious! What's going on in this life? Why are we still arguing...

Yaoshou, it's a pity that my cousin is not in class today, otherwise the situation would be more than just a quarrel.

"Uncle, that's not what my mother meant. Shi Shi is the apple of the Fu family's eye. This is something everyone in the business world knows. If Shi Shi really needs time, I will wait for her as long as possible." Gao Xinci saw that the situation was not right. , explained quickly, held my hand tightly at the same time, and begged my mother-in-law to say something.

"Yes, Ming Yan, you also know that I have never been very good at talking. I think Xin Ci went to the Gao family for me if I had to speak at any event over the years. I am really old and my brain can't turn around anymore. "The mother-in-law bowed slightly, still with a smile on her face.

The old man finally suppressed the fire and waved his hands to ease the situation: "Hey, none of us know about Lang Yue's temper. The elders in the family are friends. It's not that they didn't know each other when they were young. It's just that you have said this to Lang Yue. If you say you are old, then Meitang and I are much older than you, isn’t it time to be buried now?”

This was said with a bit of a joke, and the uncle finally calmed down after seeing the expression on the old man's face.

"Let's eat." It was my second uncle who broke the deadlock again, but this time it was an upgraded version. He waved to me.

I hurried to go there, how could Gao Xinci be willing to let me go? But I can't say it now. I can only squeeze his palm and tell him to calm down before returning to his second uncle.

The second uncle held me in his arms and said with a smile: "I always have a bad stomach, so I have to eat on time. Xin Ci, you must remember these things clearly in the future."

"Yes, I remember it all." Gao Xinci looked at me a little lonely, but unfortunately I didn't know what to say.

The meal was not very pleasant. Although Lao Fu and the others didn't mean to embarrass me, they kept adding vegetables to my bowl, but I couldn't eat it no matter what.

Gao Xinci was not having a good time, and so was her mother-in-law. The old man and the others were so congested that they couldn't even speak silently.

After sighing through this meal, my mother-in-law was still very generous and decent in preparing to say goodbye.

Gao Xinci looked around and ran to me decisively while his second uncle was going to the bathroom.

"Shishi, don't be angry. I don't know what happened to mom today. When I ask, I will give you an answer." He whispered in my ear.

"It doesn't matter. In fact, I understand Auntie. You are his only child, and there is nothing wrong in fighting for you." I responded with a smile, but unfortunately what I actually thought of was not this set of answers.

I thought clearly about why my mother-in-law suddenly wanted to force a marriage. Today, the Fu family was not polite, and the Gao family did not give in. It was the best result that there was no fight. I accepted it.

Gao Xinci lowered his head. Although he couldn't hug me and pray for comfort in front of all the elders, there was nothing wrong with getting closer.

"Don't worry, it will get better." I stroked his back gently from behind, and I was surprised to find that he had lost a lot of weight after not seeing each other for a few days, and I could clearly touch every joint of him. spine.

Suddenly I blamed myself, he was already very tired, I shouldn't have made him more sad.

I still have three days to think about getting engaged, what else do I have to think about? I have already experienced it once. He loves me very much. As long as I love him enough, it will be fine. Why can't I get over this hurdle in my heart...

"Xin Ci, let's go." The mother-in-law came over to greet the old man after she finished speaking.

Gao Xinci hid, looked at my expression and said, "Mom, you have nothing to do this afternoon, right? I want to stay and talk to Shishi for a while."

"Have you forgotten? You haven't even finished reading the report. There is a meeting to be held this afternoon. It is so urgent. Are you afraid that you will run away from time to time? Who will compete with you after you are engaged?" said the mother-in-law very gently. .

But this makes me feel even more uncomfortable.

It's as if my consideration is just to postpone the engagement, and I have no ability to refuse at all.

God, what are I thinking about? I didn't want to refuse in the first place, so I better not worry Gao Xinci, so I turned around sensibly: "Go ahead and come to me again when you have time. I'll wait for you."

Gao Xinci looked at me, gritted his teeth, pulled me to the corner and asked, "Shishi, will you promise me?"

"What?" I didn't react for a moment.

Gao Xinci suddenly felt as if he had been electrocuted. I could even see that all the illusions in his heart were shattered.

I quickly changed my words: "Yes."

But after he was happy, I regretted it again.

I am so contradictory that even I don’t know how to evaluate my feelings.

"Wait for me to come back! Oh, by the way, let's go to the playground behind school tomorrow." Gao Xinci said happily.

I was a little confused: "Why do you want to go to school?"

"Tomorrow is your birthday! Have you forgotten? We will change our identities in three days, and you will really be my fiancée. This is our last birthday before our engagement. I still think it should be meaningful, The back playground is where I first met you. Zhao Wanghai bullied his classmates, and you pushed him into the pool without saying a word! From that time on, I thought you were very handsome!" Gao Xinci said.

Ok……

How should I put it, I was touched, and it was quite outrageous. The reason he liked me was actually because I was pretty cool.

I smiled bitterly and sighed in my heart that he was worthy of Gao Xinci, he was indeed a weirdo.

"Okay, I'll wait for you." I nodded.

Gao Xinci breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to leave.

I looked at his back and couldn't let go until he was gone.

"Miss Fu, are you okay?" Mo Du poked my arm.

"Ah..." I just came back to my senses and noticed the warmth sliding across my cheeks.

Silently handed me the tissue and turned his back to block the old man and uncle who were looking at me. I turned around and wiped away my tears.

"Shishi, are you okay?" Old Fu asked, leaning his head.

"I'm fine." When I showed up again, I was already in the best shape, probably so good that Old Fu thought I could immediately agree to marry into the Gao family.

I even wanted to laugh at his heartbroken look. My uncle patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hey! Look, you can't get admitted to a female college, right? You just raised cabbage, and that boy named Gao even plowed away the land for you." "

The old man took out two tissues and wiped the corners of his mouth, pretending to be calm: "Don't be too proud, I will always be this girl. You will marry three people, and I will see how you cry."

"I'm looking for a son-in-law, so I don't want to let the girl leave the house." The uncle smiled evilly.

"You." The old man rolled his eyes at him, "The girl is older and can't help others. It's just that the Gao family..." When the old man said this, he paused, glanced at me intentionally or unintentionally and said slowly: "Now it's really I can’t tell whether it is a blessed place or a pit of fire.”

Speaking of this, my uncle couldn't help but sigh.

I didn't want to see such a scene, so I quickly pulled Mo Du over and said, "Dad, uncle, Mo Du is coming to our house for the first time. I'll take him around."

"Go ahead and show him the whole Linjiang when you have time. He will live here for a long time." It was a rare occasion for the old man to be generous.

I read silently, bowed slightly as a salute, and then left quickly.

I walked around the yard and garden, and there were colorful flowers, all produced by the gardener whose salary was higher than my living expenses. But I thought it was beautiful before, but now it seems extremely boring.

"It's better to plant two apple trees, the fruits can still be eaten..." I said casually.

Unexpectedly, a response came from behind: "Okay, Miss, the rose in the southeast corner of the backyard will be changed to two apple trees. What else?"

"Who is it!"

My eyes almost fell out of their sockets. Behind me was a big brother who walked like a ghost without making a sound, holding a pen in his hand and following him for who knows how long!

The eldest brother was very calm and even thought I was exaggerating, with an exaggerated smile on his face: "Hello, Miss, I am a gardener. Do you have any other requirements? For example, orange trees or pear trees?"

"Oh my god, I'm not jealous of you for making money." I patted my chest and gasped.

As expected, every one of the people under Old Fu are young and beautiful, too sixty!

I was thinking about laughing silently, but I couldn't hold it in any longer, so I simply turned my back. My shoulders trembled, which made me angry just looking at him!

"You're still laughing! I asked him to put you in the ground, and many, many more of you will grow next year!" I jumped up and hit Shen Du on the shoulder. When he saw my clumsy look, he laughed even more happily, and he laughed even more. While running.

"Why do you want so many of me? I can't eat them—"

"You can do my homework for me!"

I caught up with him, forgetting the trouble I had just faced, and ran around.

I don’t know how long the fight lasted, but the silent reading stopped. Before I could react, my head rushed straight into him and he took two steps back.

Silently raised his head and laughed loudly. I didn't even know what to say. I just thought that he really understood me best in the world.

"Are you still sad?" he asked.

I couldn't laugh anymore. Looking at his extremely gentle eyes, I fell into them and couldn't extricate myself.

"Are you... unwilling?" Silent Reading's voice became lower and lower, and he took a tissue from his pocket and handed it to me.

I thought about it carefully and decided that it was better not to worry him. If he worried about it himself, and if he told Aunt Lin, I would be committing a heinous crime.

"No." I chuckled and shook my head, "It's just that it happened too suddenly and he didn't tell me, so I was a little nervous."

"The Gao family is very powerful, but Uncle Fu treats you like a treasure. If you don't want to, the Gao family can't do anything to you."

"Stop thinking about it." I turned my back and couldn't bear to see Mi Du look pitiful for me. I wiped my tears with my palms and said, "Si Du, I really... love Gao Xinci very much. I can even see us getting married. What will it look like in the future? What will our child look like? We have already thought of the name of the child."

As long as he doesn't drink that glass of wine from me again in this life, and as long as our children are fine, I can let go of anything.

I am becoming more and more like the old master by minimizing big problems and keeping things quiet.

"I'm sorry about what happened today. If it weren't for me, Aunt Gao wouldn't have made things difficult for you." Mo Du added.

My heart trembled, but fortunately I quickly regained my composure.

"I don't blame you." I was silent for a long time.

My mother-in-law is a very possessive person. Why was she so indifferent to me in the last life after I married into the Gao family? It's not just that I once quit my marriage with Gao Xin and stayed together in silent reading. Now, although this kind of thing will never happen again, because of the arrival of silent reading, the old man mentioned Brother Shu very deliberately.

I had an engagement with the Lin family, and my mother-in-law probably knew about it. The old man didn't give the Gao family face by saying it at this stall. She fought back, and I had nothing to say.

Gao Xinci's character is similar to hers, but fortunately not as good as hers.

Later in the evening, I sent Silent Reading home and stayed at Lin's house until dinner was over before I left. By the way, I checked on the results of the workers' tidying up of Lin's house.

As expected, only those with real power would have tens of thousands of people flocking to flatter them with just one order. In just half a day, Lin's house had changed. The furnishings inside seemed valuable to those who knew how, but those who did not understand On the other hand, she was low-key and restrained. Aunt Lin thanked me and she was not so stressed.

I comforted Aunt Lin. When she heard the news about my engagement, she took out a beautiful gold bracelet from the wooden cabinet in the corner and put it on my hand, saying that it was a dowry she had prepared for me a long time ago.

When I got home, Cai Chang came to pick me up. As soon as I got back, I collapsed on the sofa in the living room and was too tired to get up. I listened to Old Fu, his second uncle, his cousin, and the others not far away arguing with each other.

"Don't marry! Can the Gao family still come to rob someone? How old is Shi? Why are you thinking about getting married so early?" The cousin was extremely irritable.

"Shu Chen's words make sense." The uncle frowned and flattered him, but he was quickly warned by Old Fu's eyes.

The old man took a sip of the red wine on the table and said, "That's not to say, sooner or later you have to get married, but... Lang Yue is too stubborn. The old man said when he was still alive, try not to talk to her if nothing happens. In terms of relationship, besides, the Gao family is not a blessed place. What use does Xin Ci have to Shi Shihao by himself? If the wolves, tigers and leopards of the Gao family target Shi Shi, can he stop him alone? I am mainly afraid of what Shi Shi will suffer. It’s a grievance, but she’s not someone to fight for.”

"Then refuse the marriage! That boy Gao Xinci said lightly that he wanted to marry Shi Shi and he said he would be good to her. Why would he come to our house without getting married? We also promised to be good to him! How old Shi Shi is, he really dares to think about it." The cousin rolled his eyes.

"Okay, you are not thinking about Shishi at all, you just hate everyone equally who wants to have Shishi's ideas, right?" The uncle smiled and patted his frustrated cousin.

The second uncle glanced in my direction, sighed helplessly and turned around: "Okay, don't say this in front of the children. Now it's just about Shishi's wishes. If she really likes Xin Ci, no matter how dangerous it is, she won't stop her." If you can't help her, if you don't like her, the worst we can do is hide back to Jinhai."

"Ah."

After the second uncle said this, everyone nodded in response.

I covered my heart and almost suffocated.

If I hide back to Jinhai, then the efforts made by our Fu family in Linjiang, Yingjing and Huangyang for more than ten years will be in vain, and I will truly become a sinner for the ages...

Probably because they didn't want to be overheard by me and feel sad, Lao Fu and the others hid in the study, and now only Lu Chengcheng and I were left facing each other in the living room.

After running around with my cousin for a day, I was already dizzy from exhaustion. When I came back, I heard that I was getting engaged. I guess he must have been feeling quite uncomfortable, right?

I forced a smile: "Lu Chengcheng, your face is so dark, are you going to dig coal?"

He just looked at me with a frown and didn't speak for a long time.

I could only keep silent and look at each other in silence for a long time.

Finally, when the clock hands passed zero, Lu Chengcheng spoke: "Want to drink?"

"Huh?" I was stunned.
